Of railroads-unless all travel and traffic

A sensible MD. writes as follows re-
garding thesupposed origin of yellow fe-
yer here; "The most plausible theory vet
advanced as to the spread of the disease
this summer is in emanations from the
cess-pools, a thing readily to be counter
acted by covering them with pulverized
charcoal to the depth Of six or eight
inches, so preventing exhalations.
Wherever any excretions, such as matter
yomited by patients, come in contact
with floors or other wood work, it should
be washed with strong solution of lye.
which will kill all germs of disease. In
all houses infected last year it would be
advisable to adopt this plan as a preven-
tive measure. In this manner much may
be done in connection with burning of
clothing, bedding, etc, to prevent the
spread of the disease in Memphis, and to
entirely exclude it in other towns devas-
tated last summer"

A Strong Indictment.

National Express, Chilicothe.l
We have a President who never was
elected.
We have a supreme court, three
members of which violated law, oath
and justice to count in the unelected
President.
We have a congress representing the
majority of the people, but not per-
mitted to act by a fraudulent execu-
tive and a fanatical minority.
We have the moustrous theory that
the legislative must obey the wishes of
the executive, not the executive to
execute the law of the legislative.
We have the assumption that there
is but one man to save the country"
and he Grant; but one party to rule
that is the Republican party; but one
great duty of the day, that to defy the
clear majority of the people.
Is this a republic? Is this popular
self-government? Is it not, on the
contrary, breaking up the character of
the government very fast?
Which is worse, dividing or destroy
ing a republic? Which is more terri
ble-breaking up the form or the
character Of the government?
Had the rebels of 1861 succeeded,
they would have only divided the re-
public. But if the stalwart crew of
the indefinite term and Robertson or
der succeed they will destroy it.

Fall River strikers.

FALL RIVER, July "a serious
affray occurred at the State mill this
afternoon, Some striking spinners
allege that while passing the mill they
were shouted at by working spinners
in the yard, whereupOn they stopped
and disturbance was created, and a
crowd Of five hundred to one thous-
and people soon gathered. Deputy
Sheriff Bufhnton, on duty at the mill,
said AS an officer of the common
wealth, | order this crowd to dis.
perse !" but the crowd failed to do so,
and Bufinton was seized by a big
fellow and rather roughly handled,
Stones were thrown by the mob and
shots fired, one Of which grazed the
head of working spinner inside of
the yard. By order Of the sheriff the
fire was returned, and one man in the
crowd, a striking spinner, struck on
the hand and in the hip. The disturb
ers assert that the first fire came
from the yard. The police we're tele.
graphed for, but the crowd scattered
before their arrival. The whole affair
took place in the private property Of
the corporation.
Another crowd of seventy-fve stri
kers collected in front of Mechanics
Hall tonight, two miles from the
scene of disturbance, and made louC
threats against the spinners at work
Then a constable says several slung
shots were carried by the strikers, bu
none used The police were tele
graphed for, and the crowd dispersed

Under the mead OF A Medical lem
pest, The Peculiar Ethics of the Pro-
fession at Length, Forensic Thunder
and lightning, and Banishment of
Reporters" the Nashville American
Of Sunday last relates an overhauling
given DR.. Charles Mitchell of that
place by his brother physicians of the
American Medical Association. The
otfense was that of sending dispatch
to DR.. r. W, Mitchell, of this city,
rendering his (Dr. c. Mitchell's) pro-
fessional services, and stating that he
probably had more yellow fever expe-
rience than anybody in Tennessee.
The American says DR.. Mitchell rode
up to the Office of the paper, handed
an attache Of the business Office dis.
patch, at the same time saying it was
a copy of one he had sent to Dr.
Mitchell, of Memphis. Supposing it
was intended for publication, and not
having the matter of professional eth
les on his mind at the moment,
the receiver hung it on the
news hook. The reporter whose
function is to prepare matter for the
printer, copied the dispatch and sent
it to the news room. Its publication
stirred up the medical fraternity, and
they calledameeting at which DR.. Chas.
Mitchell was censured. At the meet
ing DIR. Mcfarland in his remarks
alluded to the propriety, under the
ethics of the profession, of some ply
sicians stepping into print and adver-
tising in the newspapers. A report
was read in which it was stated that
" in the estimation of the society, the
telegram was a violation of the code
of ethics of the American Medical
Association, but, as DR.. Mitchell did
not intend any violation, nor to give
offense to the society, and that he con
ours with the committee in condemn
ing the immodest and arrogant terms
in which it was written, as un-
becoming the dignity of true
merit or the honor of the medical
profession, the committte therefore
recommended that the censures Of the
society be withheld from DR.. Mitchell
and that he stand acquitted Of any
blame whatever" In return for this
action DR.. Mitchell thanked the
society, said he was much opposed to
newspaper notoriety and that he knew
of several physicians who had slick
ways of getting into print. He also
said a professor connected with. the
University of Nashville and the Van
derbilt University had told a Banner
representative that by the middle OF
August there would be fifty cases Of
yellow fever in Nashville, and that if
they would provide him with a hos
pital and Sisters of Mercy he would
cure them all. His name is DR.. T.
0. Summers, jr. This announcement
created confusion and after a number
of motions, counter motions and other
deFultory action the society decided
to hold a secret meeting for the dis
cussiou of the subject. The news
reporters therefore retired and fur
ther proceedings were in the dark.

put down the practice of numbering
young girls and burning widows. This
prohibition of the practice of Suttoe,
and the law allowing widows to marry
again, were denounced as an attack on
the Brahminist.reli system, and
reckOned among the pretexts for the
Sepoy mutiny. The value of human
life is to a Hindoo infinitely below

The Trade Blockade.

The depression of the provision
trade in consequence of the Memphis
yellow fever blockade is by no means
an artificial one, brought by specula-
tive devices Large quantities of hog
products now on hand, which would
otherwise have found their way to the
South, will have to be carried over
into the new season, there being at
present no other outlet for the sur
plus. The Chicago Commercial Re-
port estimates the loss to the trade
thus far from this cause at not less
than 81 100000.

Sacrlflce of numan Lie in India.

The British government has at last
succeeded in putting down the secret
society of religious murderers in India
called Thugs, who, in the service of
their goddess, Doorga, strangled and
plundered travellers. The laborious
process of hunting them out occupied
thirty years, and it is only lately that
some Of the miscreants were brought
before the Prince of Wales, one of
whom boasted of having committed
sixty-seven murders with his own
hand. The god Juggernaut is no
longer suffered by the government to
crush the devotees who fling them
selves under his chariot wheels. 1t is
not long since a host of human sacri
fees were offered by certain non
Brahmin tribes; the village where
this took place used to purchase for
the purpose men, women and children,
the so-called Meriahs. British Off
GERS have had the difficult task of
eifecting the deliverence of these
Meriahs and the suppression of the
sacrifices, partly by force and partly
by gentle means. A single officer,
Major Campbell, in the course of
eighteen years, according to the Co.
temporary Review, rescued fifteen
hundred men doomed to this sacrif-
cial death. 1t required watchfulness
and energy of the British officials to
