GRANT IN 1850.

As time rolls on it becomes more ana
moro certain that the sentiment among
Republicans in favor of the NOMINATION
of Grant for the Presidency in 1851 Is
becoming almost overwhelming. he
may become as popular in 1880 as he
was in 1868. The mild, benignant poll
cy pursued by President Hayes towards
the South, has not been success. Al
though urged and governed, as we be-
lleve, by sincerely patriotic motives
into endeavors to bring about an era OF
perfect neace and tranquility, and to
bury the bitter issues and feuds o: the
past, his whole policy has been conn.,
pIete failure. A people whoswiii not
forget the past, and persists at every
opportunity offered them to heap ind'g'
mites upon a lately enfranchised race
have treated his kind words and acts
with contempt and disdain, and crushed
beneath an iron heel all who respect and
love our national flag. Kindness Will
not win them over and make them
obedient 10 the laws.
A man with iron tirmness IS needeo
in the executive char, SO that the laws
may be enforced as well for the BLACK
as the white man; that the black man
at the polls, in the court room ana al
his own fireside, may be safe from
threats and intimidation; that he may
know that his life, liberty and property
is Just as secure as his white brothers
Gen. Grants courage, frmness, backbone
and experience is in demand, and the
prospect now is that it will be made use
of on and after 1880.

During the eighteenth century and the
first half Of the nineteeh,b it was very
fatal. 1t appeared at Copenhagen in
in l!l2, at Marseilies in 1920, at Mos
COW IN Ill. ~ Malta in 1918, at Silesia
in 1919, in the Russian army in Bulga-
ria in 1889. Its last appearance In
Europe was In lSil. 1t visited Egypt
in 1874. In 1857 it broke out among
the Arabs in Africa and Mesopotamiu.
A writer, giving history of the scourge
at Alexandria ard ConstantInopIe in
$40, says:
'In 542 Alexandria Is said 10 have
lost 100000 of her people by this
scourge, and tor miles around tho city
the fields were covered with unburied
corpses. For three months from 5000
to 10000 deaths occurred daily at Con-
stantinople; whole provinces were
abandoned and cities died out, TO re
main vacant tor many years. From
10000, 900 to 20,O00,000 victims are
said to have persisted. in the three con-
tinents."
In no country has it been more fatal
than in China. The pestilencc broke
out there about 1888, followed by great
earthquakes and floods, with their usual
attendants. failure OF crops and famine.
Ere it reached Europe this peslience is
said TO have destroyed l0,000, 900 peo-
pie In China, and nearly twice as many
in Eastern Asia and Northern Africa.
In Italy it was scarcely less fatal, and il
is said one-ha the people died from it.
Hundreds OF thousands ot the weather.
classes left their wealth and took to the
sea in ships, where the disease followed
them, and their ships, filled with the
dead and dying, were cast upon foreign
and healthtul shores, and thus the con-
tagion spread. In the early history of
the ravages of the plague it was noted
that the Mohammedan people, who
were clearly IN their habits, suffered
least OF all nations. 1t has also been
noted that convicts, where lite vas even,
and all the attendants of health were
guarded, suffered comparatively little,
when the whole AIR becomes poisoned
none can escape. The disease has shown
itself amenable to no treatment, and if
it were, the panic that usually attends
it places medical aid at great disadvant-
age. 1t is regarded as zymotis dis
ease, resembling more the malignant
typhus fever IN our country than any
other. Its symptoms are headache. fe-
yer, and swelling of the glands. Pro-
lessor McReady describes it as "a conta-
gious fever characterized by an eruption
of carbuncles and buboes," and 1t is
added that cases in which these giandu-
lar swellings appear are "attended with
a higher grade of fever, and with pro-
founder depression of the vital forces !;
headache, restlessness, chills and VERT.
go are commonly present" But really,
medical knowledge ard medical skill are
insufficient and OF little avail in the
presence of this monster, that, in re
peated visits during the periods men-
toned since 544 has destroyed not less
Ut is estimated) than $4,000, 900 lives.
Well may the power of kings aud en-
perers be now exerted to stay II, and
con6ne it, if possible, to the districts at
present infected. Whether they will be
successful remains to be seen. Tha,
they may, will be the prayer and earnest
wish of the human family.-Chicago
