a HEAITHY CTTY

New Orleans is to-day, and has been
all Summer, one Of the hcalthiestcities
on tie continent. Not only has there
been no fur tller sign Of yellow fever
since the two imported cases noted
couple of months ago, but other
classes Of disease were less viruleDt
and less prevalent than usual. A
comparative statement of the death
rate for the montl, Of August during
q period Of the past ten years, shows
that the number Of deaths and the ra-
tic of mortality were smaller in the
month just closed than i'll the cores
ponding month Of any year of the de-
cale. No Doubt this gratifying ex-
hibit is due in large measure to the
admirable system Of sanitation de-
vised and carried into execution by
leading citizens aud business men,
who have shown q zeal and liberality
in the prosecution of this good work
that entities them to be called the
city's benefactors.
They will doubtless reap deserved
reward for their labors in the increased
prosperity that will accrue to New
Orleans when it is demonstrated that
her people have the means and the
will to drive the pestilential scourge
of yellow fever from their midst. The
members Of the noble Auxiliary SAM
tary Association, and all who have
contributed to its success, will no
doubt realize a tenfOld return from
the bread they have cast upon the
waters.
Hon. Fernando Wood, NJ. c., of
New York, is dan gerously i'll.

Two Mississippi Democrats have been
corresponding II little lately. Here is
one significant sentence:
The district. as you know, has d Repub-
ilcan majority of nearly 5000. and can only
oe carried by the most indefatigable work.
What kind Of work is it which will
overcome majority OF 5000 North La.
Republican.
The sentence quoted was written
by Louisiana Democrat, not Il Mis-
sissippian, and was applied to this
Congressional District. It occurs in
an open letter addressed by Congre S.
man Acklen to Hon. Jno. S. Billiu Of
Laf"nrche, contestins the regularity
OF the latter's nomination to Congress
and calling upon him to agree to the
holding Of new convention or the
submission of his claims to the arb.
tratlon of select committee. Since
this letter was transmitted solution
OF the disagreement has been provided
tor ~ the convocation of a new nom
mating convention, which will assem-
bic at Morgan City next Saturday.
The CHIEF doesn't pretend to
give Mr. Acklen's idea of the partic-
ular kind Of interchangeable work
necessary to overcome the alleged
Republican majority of 5000, but il
the Republican district. convention
mas, by al untortuitous chain of cir
cUmstances, been induced to nomi-
nate a candidate who will meet will,
serious opposition in his own party.
and the Democratic convention should
wisely name nominee who will com
mand the unitel support of his party,
IT seems to Us that J, great proportion
'i the amount of work essential to
wipe out the Republican majority
vii have been accomplished at the
outset of the canvass.
