REBEL CLAIMS.

General Bragg, of Wisconsin, is partly
right in his OPPOSITION to what is called south
ern claims. The APPEAL commented very
severely on his speech few months since, in
which he charged that the Democrats were
about to bankrupt the government in. a RAID
upon the treasury in payment of southern
claims. But we agree with Mr.. Bragg in
the opinion that the southern claims commits
sion should be abolished. Recent dispatches
from Washington express the opinion that
the commission will be legislated out of ex-
istence fo- toe reason that it has really COM
pleted its work, and has been continued in
existence for the past two years solely to pay
the commissioners fat salaries, and no. With
any view of berefting honest. claim
ants. General Bragg ia Of, the opin-
ion that the Republican party has
used this commission 20 adjudicate such
claims as would. insure Republican votes
in the south. Inasnuch rs the Republicans
have GlSde such a narrowing cry about rebel
claims, he wants to give its members a chance
to vote with him to sweep out the only trib-
unal which grinds such claims out. He says
If the Republicans will vote for his PROPOSE
tion there are enough Democrats who will go
with him to give southern claims quietus
forever, but he is very much afraid they wi. [
not. There Is much humbuggery about i .ess
claims, aRd the Democrats should put n end
to the whole business. Two days b. fore the
Presidential election Tilden ammo. .,nosd that
he would veto any bill having for its object
the payment of southern claims, and the
fact that he received T. a yota IF the solid
south in the face of ncb regulation shows
what 'ne southern eople expect from the gov
' ernnien' ~ pa ment of southern claims
Inc atlanta y institution says: "In the house
SeS'eluAs IT. Bragg, of Wisconsin, moved al
S u, emit to the legislative appropriation
Dill .sriking out all provisions for thu
SUI .chern claims commission, and t.
insert clause repeating the Law
creating that commission. 1t
to be hoped that the amendment will bt
adopted by the Democrats without debate
There is no such thing as southern war
claims, the claims that go up from this sec
ton being those of persons who are willing
to swear that they were loyal to the Unior
during the war. These the Republicans per-
sist in calling southern claims, and it Is bes'
for the south--best for the country-that the
southern claims commission be disestablished
We trust the Democrats will not hesitate IL
this matter. 1t is not only in the direct line
of reform, but it will give the anxiety Of the
organs an opportunity to seek repose. Lei
the southern claims commission take its place
beside the freedmen's bureau. We trust
Mr.. Bragg will insist upon his amendment
most strenuousy, and that all the northern
Democrats will join those Of the south in put
ting final end tosouthern claims, so-caled."

GRANT THE CANDvDATE.

The recent publication in the New York
Times in regard to the next Presidential
election has attracted much attention
throughout the country. The Times ex-
pended much money in sending commission
ers to every State in the Union for the pur-
pose of ascertaining public opinion in regard
to the next Presidential election. The facts
which the Times furnishes bear evidence of
thoroughness and care in preparation, and
they demonstrate that the Republicans, by
an overwhelming majority, favor the nomi-
nation of Grant as their candidate for the
Presidency In 1880. In some localities Blame
Is the favorite, but he seems to have lost
ground of late. 1t has long been manifest
that the machine politicians of the Republic
can party had determined to nominate
Grant. They regard him as invincible, and
will support him with all the zeal
that remains in their decaying or
ganization. The programme for
getting up blaze of enthusiasm has already
been arranged. When Grant lands at San
Francisco he will be received with great
parade and enthusiasm, and given a tri-
umphal passage across the continent at the

expense of the office seekers. No expense or
pains will be spared to make it the grandest
outburst of spontaneous welcome that the
country has ever witnessed. The supporters
Of the movement are sanguine of electing
Grant President, but sagacious Republicans
regard his nomination as death blow to the
Republican party. The certainty of Grants
nomination strikes no terror to the Demo-
cratic party. His administration in 1876 was
a national stencil, and had he been the can
didate for the Presidency in the place of
Hayes, Tilden's majority would still have
been larger. 1t was the corruption of Grants
administration that gave the Democrats such
an overwhelming majority in 1875, and if he
should be the candidate, as he no doubt will
be, he will have to carry the odium which
attaches to the names of the Belknaps, Robe
sons, Babcocks, Shepherds and all the viii
lains who strew such infamy on his admins
tration. There are thousands of Republicans
who, under no circumstances, will support
him. The New York Post represents this
class. In recent article it says: THE
Times has been making a careful canvass of
all the States of the Union with view to
learn the preferences of all classes of men in
respect to candidates for President; and the
other day it announced as a result of the
inquiry that General Grant was the
choice of the Republicans by an
overwhelming majority. The Times
took pains to say distinctly that it did not it.
self prefer him to all other candidates; that
he was neither its first choice nor Its second.
Harper's Weekly, In its latest number, prints
an earnest protest against the nomination of
General Grant. These two newspapers repre-
sent great number of the most intelligent
members Of the Repubhcan-party. There is
widespread conviction in that party that Gen
eral Grant ought not to be nominated. 1t
is not worth while 10 go again over all the
grounds of this conviction. They may be
summed up in the one objection that General
Grant represents the old questions, the old
notions, the old passions, the old strife, the
old bitterness, the old purposes which, 1t had
been supposed, were put aside, rather than
the new questions, the new spirit, the new
objects which, it is believed, ought to be
paramount and absorbing"

Chilians IN the interior in Bolivia Calama

ward the contending parties will be deter

MEMPHIS APPEAL
WEDNESDAY, : APRIL I6, 1879
YELLOw-FEvER GERMS.

S. M. Jones, of this city, in removing to
Nashville proposed to transfer his furniture
from the Worsham house, of Memphis, to
the Commercial house at Nashville. The
city council at Nashville adopted resolu-
ton instructing the board of health not to
permit the furniture to be removed. This is
a great hardship on Mr.. Jones, and has pro-
voked much comment and considerable con-
domination. But In view of the recent de-
velopments concerning the outbreak of yell
low-fever on the steamer Plymouth, we can
not say that ithe people of Nashville were
unnecessarily rigid in their precautions. The
New York Herald shows that latter the
disease broke out on the Plymouth last No
vember she was brought to Boston, thor
oughly fnmigated and afterward frozen out.
Everything movable in her was removed
at the time, and all bedding and other
matter of that kind was either de-
stroyed or thoroughly fumigated, dlsinfected
and frozen. In spite of this care and cold
yelow-fever broke out on her on the twenty
third of March, when she had reached
warm climate, but before she had touched at
or been near any southern land, and while

rious and remarkable fact Of all is that the
first man attacked, Richard Saunders, ma
chinist, had his hammock slung in the pre-
else place of the man who first showed symp-
toms of yellow-fever in Santa Cruz in No
vember last. This is worthy of the attention
of medical experts, for it seems to show that
the infectious matter not only resisted ex-
tEeme cold, but that it remained in one place.
The vessel lay all the winter in Boston,
where everything known to sanitary science
was used to dislnfect her of the germs of
yellow-fever. She was entirely broken out,
all the stores landed and exposed to freez-
ing temperature and the ship thoroughly
fumigated several times. A part of the time
the ship was in dock, where large quantities
Of ice remained, and the temperature fire.
quently reached a point below zero. The
water in the tanks and buckets in the store
rooms was constantly frozen, and when she
was removed from the dock and fires lighted
under the boilers she was so thoroughly
chilled that for several days the water re-
manned frozen in her bnges. When the
Plymouth left Boston all men of weak con-
stitutions or susceptible to climatic influences
were removed from her and she went to sea
with a crew entirely healthy"
