The SMALLPOX.

Smallpox Is slow in relaxing its grip on
the smitten town of South Bethlehem. Of
total of 1853 cases there have been Al
deaths and 5 are convalescent, leaving ia
persons affected and convalescent in quar-
antined houses. OF the latter a number
have fairly recovered who are restricted
from going out. In the adjoining Lehigh
university district of Saucon township
there are 9 cases thus far. There has only
been one death in the district. All the
engagements booked for the South Beth
lehem opera house have been Cancelled on
account of the epidemic. The time for
families to remain in quarantine in South
Bethlehem has been extended one week.

THE Republicans are willing to let the
present gerrymander Of New York stand.
OF course they are. It is probably tho
worst ever heard Of. With q Democratic
majority in the state it is SO distributed
around as to put 99,5s1 people in one
district and 17s, 600 in another, and cheat
the Democrats every time.
In view of the flood of waters and the
resulting distress in the Mississippi valley,
the New Orleans people have given up
the proposed celebration of the bi-centen-
nial anniversary of La Salle's discovery of
the mouth of the Mississippi. Congress
also threw cold water on the scheme, and
and this may have much to do with its
abandonment.
In the troubled Cumberland coal region,
compromise between the operators and
miners is talked Of; the grocerymen of

Grants preference for his successor.
A BOARD of inquiry found that Whitta-
ker outraged himself a favorably disposed
court martial confirmed it. Republican
administrations have declined to act upon
their conclusions through fear of making
themselves unpopular. Finally the pro-
ceedings are set aside by Judge Advocate
Swain on the purely technical ground that
certain writings of Whitaker appeared as
evidence in the case, for the purpose of
aiding the judgment of the experts in hand
writing which should not have been there.
The cadet himself is dismissed from the
academy, however, for deficiency in his
studies. As the Sun suggests, the present
action looks like very dexterous artifice
for getting rid of Cadet Whitaker in a
way to satisfy his enemies by its practical
result, and his friends by its overthrow of
the court martial's sentence of disgrace.
