power of confirming the nomination.
Mayor HARRISON has not alone arrayed Re-
pubiicans against him, in personal point Of
view, for this action, but has evoked bitter
spirit of hostility On the part Of portion Of
the Democracy, who have expressed their de-
termination to lend but little assistance in
ensuing campaigns which shall find him par
ticipsting as leader, unless he retires from
the stand he has taken on this question of
the Fire -Marshalship, and consents to honor
BENSER with q future nomination. The
Mayor may learn lesson of political pru-
dence from this action of the Council.

Gramercy Park has taken hold of Penn

tale reads, and formed an alliance that will
"sweep things" in 1880. It is proposed to
set aside all other Democratic claimants to

party, favoring every possible faction, and

pretty big snag in its way the moment it
sets sail on its voyage OF uncertainty.

.DEMAG0GICAL FALSEHOODS,

DR.. ERNEST SCHMIDT, the late candidate Of
the alien, red-fag anarchists, self dubbed
Socialists, planned thata recent anti
American, red-dag harangue of his had been
unsupported or colored, and that his actual
language was less atrocious and scandalous
than had been published. But, on the
Fourth Of July, be delivered another ha-
rangue to crowd Of foreign Communists, in
which be talked like a reckless and un-
principled demegogue, as few extracts will
show.. He SAID:
Wherever they cast their eyes, there was nothing
but corruption, fraud, and chicanery. The Legis-
latures were in the hands Of shysters, swindlers,
and perverters Of the laws. In judicial positions
were found men who allowed those who had stolen
millions to go free, and even shook hands and
hobnobbed with them, while the Same Judge sent

THE STATE DEBT.

On Monday last the substitute
offered. BY Mr.. Lions for settling
the bonded debt, and which failed
of adoption then by very small
vote, was on Tuesday brought up
On its third reading aud carried by
more than the requi: ed majority
vote. The face Of the debt is an
altered. The interest on the
bonds, due January next, is REMIT
cd. The interest is established al
2 ger cert. for five years from lst
January ncx:-~at 3 per cent. :hen
for fifteen years-anl thereafter at
4 PER cent. A special tax of 3
mills is to be levied to pay the in
tcrest, but the entire state tax is
not to exceed 6 mills. .
The holders Of the consolidated
bonds have he option Of receiving
in lieu thereof, new bonds of de-
nominations ranging from S. TO
$1,000, at scaling on the original
OF IS per cent off, aud to bear iu-
teress at 1 per cent. per annum,
payable semi-annually.
The entire ordinance. however. is
to he submitted for ratification to
the people lat the same as the con-
stitation-a and they are to vote for
or against it, apart from the consti
tutiou.
=. This leaves the Bonded Debt
question still unsettled, as much
doubt exists as TO the ratification
OF the proposition by the people.
If this debt is legal, as many insist
it is, the proposed settlement is
certainly the best that could be
made and should be acquiescd in
by the tax payers, as the proposed
reduction of interest will cause o
saving OF over 5000 900 yearly.
TIE interest for the last six
months being RENTED will relieve
the state treasury Of an obligation
which otherwise may have caused
considerable embarrassment to the
management: Of the States finances
Perhaps this settlement of tho
vexed question will meet with the
! sanction of the masses, but ore
fact that no one c n consistently
! deny the present arrangement i!
nothldg less than an apology fo
the censure and protests against TIT
acts of the detunct Radical rart,

THE SITUATION AT MEMPHIS.

The state Of health in Mem
phis has become quite alarm.
ing within the last few days.
Some ten days ago, when the
first case Of yellow fever was
announced a general STAIN pcdc
ensued, ard SO largo was the
exodus that accommodations
on the outgoing trains proved
very inadequate, although
the disease has not made the
rapid advancement Of last
year, still its encroachmen IS
are steady and the mere asc
of cases is sufficiently alarm :
ing to strike terror to the
hearts all who passed through
the scoul sc Of 1878. On the
22d five new cases and four
deaths We're officially reported,
the total number Of cases be-
ing seventy foHr, twenty OF
which proved fatal. Twenty
thousand people have take q
their departure and nearly all
places Of business are closed.
The fever, owing to the very
warm weather, has assumed a
most malignant form.
On the Esd nineteen new
cases and seven deaths were
reported. A camp Tor rcfu :
gees has been selected about
eight miles from Memphis and
rations will be furnished by
the government to those una
bic to supply themselves.
Every-northern city is quar-
antined against the stricken
locality, and hopes are enter
tanned that the fever will not
spread throughout the South
1t would be- wise for our auth
critics to enforcc'strict sanitary
measures in the two towns
looking TO a thorough cleans
ing of the streets and private
premises as q precautionary
measure. 1t mayydo good and
will certainly do no harm.
