THE second meeting of the anti
vaccination congress will occur at
Cologne on the Srd of October. The
object of the congress will be to OBJ
tain and classify all facts and relia-
bic municipal and national statistics
relating to the results of vaccina-
ton, and to adopt such measures as
may be thought desirable for the re-
peal of compulsory vaccination
laws wherever they may exist. The
first convention, held in Paris last
December, gave a strong impulse to
the characterization cause, and
much more is expected from
the approaching one at Co.
Ggne. 1t is contended by
many thinkers and close OBJ
servers that vaccination has done
more, probably, in spreading the
vile diseases that humanity is heir
to than any known agency. 1t is
said latent poisons in the blood of
healthy-looking children have been
spread through this agency, and
that by the general practice of
vaccination all people have
become more or less contaminated
in blood. Some exciting cause may
be required to produce visible eff
fects. and it is held that herein lie
the seeds of long catalogue of dis
eases. 1t is well remembered how
terrible and loathsome disease was
implanted in many during the late
war by poison, transmitted in vac
cine virus, and it was demon
strated that this poison was
kept alive as it passed through the
healthiest and most vigorous SUBJ
jects. Not long ago case occurred
in the French, army; where by officia.
order, the soldiers of regiment
were vaccinated. Virus from four
children was used, and fifty-eight
treated with that from one child
were infected with syphilis. An at
tempt was made to prevent public
exposure, but the press got hold of
the facts and brought them to light,
while number of the men were
still in q most loathsome state, with
their hair and teeth falling out, and
suffering the iortures of the damned.
These cases give the characterization
cause greater vitality than ever, and
it may be expected that this coming
consultation will have considerable
weight in giving effect to it.

THERE is very strong organIza-
tion operating in Mississippi against
the reelection of Lamar TO the SEN
ate. He has been probably the
ablest representative OF the south in
the United States senate, and it is
humiliating to recognize that he is
opposed more because of his virtues
than tor any mistakes he may
have made. Chalmers wants
his place, and it is said
of the Barksdale crowd, who make
fierce war upon him, that they
would attain many mean and selfish
ends by such means as may present
themselves. A well informed SOUTH
ern exchenge says:
We recognize the fact that this
matter is Mississippi's business, but
it will be well for Mlssissippians to
recognize the fact that the overthrow
OF Lamar in their state will weaken
the Democratic party by retarding
the slow growth of confidence which
has steadily made il stronger in the
north despite its many reverses and
defeats. 1t will be well, also, for So
Der, thoughtful Republicans in the
north to pay more attention to these
southern contests with view to a
comprehension of them, which will
prevent the misleading of their
sympathies. The friends of law and
order, of honor and honesty, of
conservatism of aim and decen cy
of method in southern politics, are
represented by Lamar, Hampton,
Butler, Gibson, Walthall, Holiday
and numerous other "Bourbons,"
rather than the progressive" Dem
vcrats, who are ready to ignore not
merely prejudices, but principles,
with view to getting votes. There
are no worse enemies to the unity
and prosperity of the American
people than the men who keep
apart and estrange the conservatives
of the north and south.

The conference strongly condemns
theatres and dancing. Delegate
Peck advocates religious entertain
ments as counter attraction. A mo-
ton condemning the opium trade
was introduced but was referred
to the business committee at the
suggestion of Peck, because it con-
tanned words censuring the action
of the British government. The
council seems to be blazing the way
for wonderful reforms, but when il
stops to consider duty as best
omitted because it may reflect upon
a great nation there is some little
absurdity about such propositions.

Mr.. TILDEN never conferred with
Mr.. Hendricks as to any course OF
action, while the plan for counting

But l waited, expecting he would

day when Chandler sent his defiant
message that Tilden and Hendricks

expressed himself distinctly that he

date at the head of the ticket, /

would have been no contention
either, because the orderly portion
of the Republican party believed we

= A REPUBLICAN paper estimates
that the bills for attendance on the
president will be about $50, ,000,a in
significant sum, it holds, which con-
gress ought to pay without a word

derive its right to provide any such
payment? If congress pay this bill,
then the medical bills of cabinet
officers, of congressman, of govern
ors, and all other public men should
be paid out of public treasures.
