The Yellow Fever-The Freezing out
Theory.

The following extract from the report
of Surgeon General Hamilton, in regard
to the cases of yellow fever occurring on
board the T. S. Steamer Plymouth, is
pulling beyond measure to those who
have had implicit faith in the efficacy of
cold for the destruction of yellow fever
germs. 1t will be seen that both refrig-
Grafton and fumigation were tried with
out success and the conclusion is
reached that the seeds of the disease had
become irradicably planted in the I'M
sound TENDERS of the vessel. If this be
true, what may we not apprehend when
the heat of the summer warns into ac-
tivity the yellow fever germs that were
deposited in decaying houses to be found
in almost every community where the
disease prevailed
The Surgeon General of the L. S. Navy has
furnished the following facts in regard to the
recent outbreak of yellow fever on the L. 5.
Str Plymouth. On November 9TH last four
cases of yellow fever occurred board t.e
vessel while lying in the harbor of Santa Cruz;
these were removed to hospital shore and
the ship sailed for Norfolk. Three mild cases
occurred during the voyage and the plymouth"
was ordered to Portsmouth \. H., thence to Bos-
ton. At the latter port everything was removed
from the ship and all parts of the interior free
ly exposed to a temperate which frequently fell
below zero, the exposure continuing for more
than a month During this time the water in
the tanks, bilges and in vessels placed in the
store rooms frozen One hundred pounds
of sulphur was burned below decks, this fumi-
CATION continuing for two days, and the berth
decks, holds, and store rooms whitewash-
ed On March 10Th the ship sailed from Boston
southwark; ON the 18th, during severe gale,
the matches had to be battened down and the
berth deck became very close and damp. On
the 23d, two showed decided symptoms OF
yellow fever, and on the recommendation of the
Surgeon, the vessel was headed northward
The sick men were isolated, and measures
adopted for improving the hygienic condition
of the vessel and crew. The Surgeon reported
that he believed the infection to be confined to
the hull of the ship, especially to the unsound
wood about the berth deck, all the eases but
having occurred within limited area and
that while the plymouth" is in good sanitary
condition for service in temperate climates,
should she be sent to a tropical station, proba-
bly, no precautionary measures whatever, would
avail to prevent an outbreak OF yellow fever

Col. Sam. b. Thomas.

This gentleman who has served the
people of Kinds county so well and
faithfully in the office of Sheriff, has
published card in the Raymond GA
zette announcing that he will not be a
candidate for reelection. He was cleo
ted on the regular ACKNOWLEDGMENT
tive ticket by an overwhelming majority,
and it is due to him to say, what we
believe is universally admitted, that if
he had consented to continue in the
office he would have been elected in
November without opposition from any
quarter The universal confidence reposed
in him-the universal love with which
he is regarded by all classes and condi-
tions of people in whose midst he has
spent his days from boyhood to mature
life, is a testimonial of which any man
might be proud. He has borne the
responsibilities of every position to
which he has been called with so much
gentleness, and yet 50 much firmness
and 6delity-with so sincere a regard
for the rights and sensibilities of others
and at the same time so conscientious .
regard for his public obligations-that the
most oeHsorious could not have found
vulnerable spot In his official career.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-04-23

NoTHING can be more untrue than the
statement that the migration of the ne
groes from the South to Kansas is due
to political considerations, so far as they
are concerned, though We can not say
as much for the heartless demagogues
who instigated the movement. Unused
to managing for themselves, and inclined
to self-indulgence without counting the
cost, many of the blacks, notwithstand-
ing the liberal terms which have been
accorded by the landed proprietors, be-
came involved in debt, and were but too
willing TO be enticed away, in the hope
of receiving liberal bounties, and at
the same time getting rid of their debts.
There is not one of them who has thought
of politics In connection with their en-
igration to the West If they have ex-
pected, however, to figure in the public
affairs of the States to which they are
moving, they will be disappointed.
When any of them get to be Legislators,
or sherifs, or county clerks, or even
constables, in the promised land, with
er several thousand have gone, and 9th
er thousands will probably go, we will
make a note of it for the information of
those they have left behind

Senator Jonas Southern Railroad Bill.

Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, has intro
duced bill which it seems, if adopted,
would solve the difficult problem of a
railway connection between the lower
Mississippi and the Mexican Gulf, in
the Pacific The bill proposes to aid by
direct government loans to be repaid
with four per cent. per annum interest
by means Of credits on the books of the
United States for government transport
tation during the first twenty years, and
by forty st ali-annual cash payments dur
ing twenty years thereafter. The fol-
lowing named companies, for the pur-
pose of securing the construction or
to provide continuous railway communi-
cation from New Orleans, Vicksburg
and Memphis to the Rio Grande, there
to meet the Southern Pacific Railroad
of California at Ell Paso-namelv, the
New Orleans Pacific Railway Company,
the North Louisiana and Texas Com
pany, the Memphis and Great South
western Company, the International
Great Northern Company and the Gal
weston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
Company,
Each Company is to receive from the
United States the sum of $4,000 per
mile for every section of ten miles here
after constructed and equipped, provided
the work be commenced within twelve
months and that at least fifty miles be
completed by each company every year
thereafter.
This project, if carried out, would
secure in fact as we'll, as in name a gen
uine Southern Railroad to the Pacific,
and is preferable to the Tom Scott Tex
as Pacific as it now stands, which con-
templates coming within $50 miles of
the lower Mississippi, and then switch
ing the main business of the Road off, to
form connections at St. Louis with his
Northern Pennsylvania Central monopo-
