The Presid ency.

The political strength of the candidates
for president on either side is being daily
developed. and so far as the Republican
party is concerned may be con-
sidered as practically settled III
favor Of Grant. The Republican
state conventions thus far held have chosen
delegates ssfollows: -
fGrant-Indiana. 10: Kentucky "a
Missouri 80: New York 10: Pennsylvania
So; Texas 16; Arizona 2; District of Col
umbial Total Oil. ani@s
Blaine comes next with Indiana ID;
Connecticut 5: Iowa %: Kansas 10; Maine
IA; Rhode Island 8; Washington Terri
tory 2; District of Columbia Total oo'
Next in order comes Edmunds with
Connecticut4; Vermont 10; Massachusetts,
26;-Total 40.
Then follows Sherman with 2 from In
diana; and Wash5urne 3-from Connecti-
cut.
It will thus be seen that Grant leads
the van and has nearly double rs
many votes already as all others combined.
The Republican conventions yet to be
held are, Alabama 20; Arkansas IL; Del
eware 6; Florida s; Georgia %: Illinois AZ;
Louisiana 10; Maryland 16; Michigan %;
Minnesota 10; Mississippi Is; Nevada! g.
Nebraska 6; New Hampshire 10; New
Jersey 1s: North Carolina 20; Carolina
16; Tennessee "a; Virginia %; West
Virginia 10; Wisconsin 20.
Of these states it is more than likely
Grant will receive the votes of Arkansas,
Alabama. Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Maryland, Michigan. Minnesota, Missis-
sippi, Illinois. South Carolina, Virginia.
and probably Wisconsin, making total OF
232,-which added to the 2ll already
pledged makes 443-or Ga more than
enough to secure the nomination on the
first ballot.
Some of these states are claimed by
Sherman and Blaine, but from the best
information at hand it Is hardly probable
that either of them will be able to capture
any considerable number of delegates, at
least not enough to materially change the
result. Blaine is. however, making a
vigorous fight, and does not despair of Sc
surfing the Illinois delegation, and will
stubbornly contest every iuch of debatable
ground. His friends likewise claim at
least IS votes in the south, aud part of
New York and Observation-Disclosures is
unquestionably out of the race, and WASH
burne is proving q much weaker candidate
than was supposed, The candidacy OF
General Grant is inevitable.
While Grants nomination seems assur-.
ed, it is interesting to look at the vote of
some Of the states whose delegates will
make this result possible:

is idle'for the stalwart managers to at

ballot boxes will discover when too late
that it requires something more than mere
claim OF victory to make that victory

is honestly elected he will be peaceably

1875 cannot and will not be allowed in

hundred thousand dollars, and at bis DEATH, a
few months since, his remains were honored by
being deposited in Westminster Abbey-marks
an era in English history, as having revolution
lied its postal system but the postal card. cost
ing but one cent, has, wherever INTRODUCED,
proved no less beneficial or popular. Although
il is scarcely five years since they were first issued
in the United States, the number of cards posted
during the year ending June 30, 1879, amounted
2 900 900, bringing to the Government a reve-
nue. OF 8, 220, 900, without interfering with the
ordinary letter service or its revenue, both
branches of the seryice-letter and postal card
increasing at the rate Of about ten per cent an
nually.
The use of postal cards here would prove as
popular as in America and European countries,
and ought no longer to be delayed. They will
serve not only for daily and hourly use among
foreigners, but natives, always quick to adopt a
new idea. will eagerly buy them for brief cores
pondeuce and requests, where now they send YER
bal messages or none at all. At the same time,
the revenue of the bureau would be increased,
while the cost of manufacturing and printing the
cards is a mere tribe of a few mills each.
More recently, international or foreign postal
cards have been introduced, which are for foreign
use between different countries belonging to the
Postal Union. The cost of each card is two cents,
with no further charge on delivery, no matter
how many countries it may have passed through
to reach its destination. The United States COM
menced the issue Of these foreign cards IN Janu-
airy Of the present year. But their use will be
confined chiefly to those countries composing the
Universal Postal Union or, if sent to countries
not connected with the Union, the cards are liza
BILE to additional postage on delivery.

Mr.. EDIToR-SIR II will just say a few words
regarding the public health of this city. Il is as
healtbful as ever during the prevalence of the trade
winds. But when the Gains south and easteriy
wind prevail then epidemic The rea-
sons are very apparent to my mind. The sea breeze
blows all the efiuvia back on the town. When the
late DIR. Judd opened the cemetery to the windward OF
his house it was a mistake. But probably it was the
best he could do at that time. His successors need
not have fallen into the came error. The present
Hon. Chief Justice can no doubt remember how he
used to be annoyed by the smell of decaying bodies,
when he lived in that vicinity. Now, Sir, the hab-
itants of the dead ought not to be in the vicinity Of
the living; but placed to the westward OF the city
where no ef1uvia or miasma would blow back on the
town when the southerly and easterly winds prevail.
Now what do you propose to do, increase the evil
by draining into and filing up the harbor. Sir, it
will not do, it will increase the evil it has not an
swered in other countries. Let alone the cost.
Therefor I would suggest earth closets in the liquor
block for the present. until the streets are straight
ened and widened. then carry the drainage outside
and beyond the reef to the west OF the city. Fur
thermore, the closing up of all the cemetries as soon
as practicable in the town and to the eastward and
northeast of the city. In conclusion in proof of
what 1 say; residents outside of the town and on the
other islands are not afflicted in the same way.
Yours, &C.. A WELL WIsHER.
