THE BEE.

In accordance with the provisions Of the
act passed by the General Assembly to reg.
ulate judicial advertisements In the French
language In the parish of Orleans, the Gov
ernor, the President OF the Senate and the
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives
have tfficially designated the New Orleans
Bee as the paper In which all advertisements
required to be made In relation to judicial
proceedings, ETC., shall be published.
The selection OF the Bee was sort of Hob
sons choice, 1t Is true, inasmuch as there is
not now any other daily newspaper In this
I city printed In the French language, but had
there been many such and all of them deserv-
ing, The choice. we are satisfied, would have
still fallen upon the Bee, which is not only
entitled to 1t by reason Of It's age and the
ability with which 1t is conducted, but also
because OF Its great meritorious services to
the State and the party In the dark and try
ing hours of the past Under all circum
stances, In the gloom and disaster Of war
and In the even more dreadful ordeal OF the,
reconstruction era. as well as In the sunshine
of prosperity, the Bee has always been as
true to Louisiana and to the best interest OF
her people as the needle TO the pole.
We therefore rejoice In the good fortune Of
our contemporary, and trust that it may live
many years to enjoy the honors which an ap-
preclative and grateful people will always
bestow in consideration OF Its
sterling worth and unilnchiDg devotion to
their interests.

A TELEGRAPHIO BLUNDER.

Among the telegraphic dispatches sent
broadcast over the country yesterday by the
Associated Press was one from Washington
stating that official advices Of the National
Board Of Health showed that during the four
weeks ending March 27, there had been
eleven deaths from malignant yellow fever
in New Orleans and two In Memphis. In our
local columns will be found letter from DR.
s. M. Bemiss. Of the National Board OF
Health, In which he explicitly denies that
any such statement as that contained In the
dispatch, mentioned above, was ever sent tc
Washington by any member of the National
Board, and declares what every one here
knows to be true, that the city is entirely free
from epidemic diseases, except a few cases Of
scarlet fever.
How such an error could have been made II
is quite impossible to understand, except
upon the theory of malicious intent, and it Is
almost inconceivable that any human being
could wish to infllct so serious an injury upon
an entire community.
1t Is incumbent upon the city authorities,
and also upon the National Board of Health,
which has been so shamefully slandered, to
investigate the matter thoroughly In order
that the world may know whether there lives
wretch so base as to deliberately perpetrate
this foul wrong upon two communities. A
mere error OF transcription. while difficult to
understand. might be condoned, but delib-
crate malice In a case of this kind should
meet with condign punishment.
The question Of health in New Orleans is
one OF such vital importance-is so intimately
connected with the prosperity of the city
that we cannot afford to have false and in
furious rumors circulated through the press
by persons without authority, and actuated.
as they often are, by a spirit Of hostility to
our people. We have our own Board Of
Health, thoroughly organized and most
vigilant and effective Auxiliary Sanitary AS
sociation, and besides that, members
OF the National Board Of Health resi-
dent among us, each and all OF
whom are competent to advise the
world of the condition of New Or
leans, and who are strenuously endeavoripg
to maintain an exceptional sanitary condition.
We would suggest to the agent of the Asso.
ciated Press at Washington, that before he
sends over the country again dispatch re-
flecting so seriously upon the health of city,
he should make some effort to ascertain its
truth or falsity. The statement was mani
testify absurd upon its face, and even If he
had received such Information In error, he
should have had sense enough to have had 1t
verified before sending 1t over the wires. The
people throughout the country may rest as
sured that the health of New Orleans was
never better, and that there has not only been
no fever here since last fall, when there were
q few sporadic cases, but we do not intend
there shall be any this summer, II vigilant

TWO MEN.

1t is a little remarkable that both the Rad
ical and Democratic partle are threatened by
similar danger the danger OF having thrust
upon them candidates who are not the choice
OF the members of the party at large but
who seem determined to seek their own per-
sonal aggranGizement regardless of the re-
suit to the country. The schemers for the
third term are bent upon carrying out their
programme, even though the consequence
be to cause very serious break In their
party, while Mr.. I1lden, In spite of the
hostility which has been developed
against him, quietly but persistentIy pursues
his policy OF forcing himself upon the De-
moeracy. Whether the Radicals will be wise
enough to refrain from making the blunder,
which now seems almost inevitable, and
OF tying around the neck of their party the
milestone of the third term, remains to be
seen; but we sincerely trust that the
Democracy will decline to be dragooned
into the support Of candidate
who at the previous election permitted the
fruits Of one Of the most severely contested
and brilliant campaigns ever fought In this
country to be wrested from him without the
utterance of even one timely and manful
word OF protest. Mr.. Tllden may make an
excellent candidate for some other party
some party that needs conservative gentle
man, well gone In years, and sure to accept
defeat with placid equanimity the De-
mocraoy wants younger, stronger and more
resoute leader; man whose record the sun
light may beat upon, and whose methods will
be open as the day. man who will take the
offensive against the common enemy OF Radi-
calism, and not force his party to assume the
defensive from the first.
The strange spectacle is presented to the
American people Of two men, both undesir-
able. strenuously working to force themselves
upon their unwilling and apprehensive
parties. Let the Radicals take Grant with
all that he implies, IL they want him, but let
the Democracy decline to nominate any man
who appears to hold his individual interests
above the interests OF his party and OF his

have entered into q co-partnership for

ANOTHER SAD STORY.
SUICIDE OF AN AMERICAN LADY IN
EUROPE.

SUICIDE OF AN AMERICAN LADY IN
EUROPE.
The American consul at Pau has
forwarded details concerning the
mysterious death of an American la
dy at the Hotel de France on the Sd
inst. Her name was registered in
Pau as Mrs. Olney. She came over
in June in the French transatlantic
steamer France. She remained some
time at the Hotels Athenee and Cha
than, in Paris, with several friends.
She had been al Hotel de France a.
bout ten days. In a letter written
before her death, she says: "I am
weary of life and want rest" and
asks 20 be placed in a coffin in the
dress she wore when she died. There
is little doubt that the poor lady
committed suicice. Thanks to The
'nsul, however, she had Christian
b1rial.
1t was ascertained that she was
Miss Candace M. Olney, formerly a
we'll known and flourishing milliner
in New York city. In 1873 she fig
ured as q witness in the divorce case
of her former partner, Mrs. L. D.
Newell, after which her trade fell off
so that she sold out, her name being
linked with that of Mr.. Newell.
She was respondent and sailed for
Europe alone last June. Ween Mr..
Newell, who is in Providence, r. l.,
was informed of her suicide yester-
day, he was greatly affected and could
hardly speak. He refused to make
any statement.
