Lynch VS.. Chalmers.
[Pascagoula, {Miss..) nemocrat-Star.

| [Pascagoula, {AIiss.) Democrat-Star.l
The contested case OF Lynch vs.
| Chalmers for a seat in the lower house
of congress was decided last Saturday
| by the latter being declared not legally
elected, and therefore not entitled to
the seat. As in all previous contested
election cases the Republicans stood
solidly together and voted for the Re
publican irrespective OF the merits OF
the case. 1t makes little or no differ
ence to the Radical members of Con-
gress who has the law or justice Oh his
side-their only object being to dis
place Democrats and to seat men OF
their party. In this case as in almost
| similar ones-our Northern Democratic
friends, so-called, were too contempt
ible and cowardly to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the Southern Democrats
| in an hour Of need, therefore allowed the
Radicals to unseat Democrat and put
in his place colored Radical.
The supreme court of Mississippi had
passed Judgment on the legality Of the
ballot law of our State, and had decided
that it was legal and constitutional,
and therefore that Gen. Chalmers was
legally elected from the (then) Sixth
district, yet in the face of this decision
the radicals in congress decided that
Chalmers was not elected and that
Lynch was. This is only one OF many
outrages which we of the South have
been subjected to since the close Of the
war, and which we will have to under
go so long as the radicals are in power
and the Northern Democrats refuse to
aid their Southern brethren.
This was made a test case, and it
would not surprise us to see the majori-
ty of Southern representatives kicked
out Of Congress or at least sufficient
number to give the Radicals an easy
majority so that the Democrats would
virtually have no voice in the halls of
Congress, and the thieves and plunder-
ers would have it all their own way.
We need expect no aid or sympathy
from the Democrats North Of Mason
and Dixon's line, and if the South ever
gets her rights it will be through her
own efforts and without the support of
our Narthern friends ~ up in Goods
Country Hades is full of such
friends as we of the South have in the
Northern Democrats.

At the last election in Rhode island
proposition to liberalize the suffrage
qualification was sub nitted to the people
viz, those who now have tho right t.
vote. At present there is a considerable
body ofcitizensin the state whose world
ly possessions are not sufficient to enable
them to vote on account OF the provision
requiring a voter to be possessed in his
own right of real estate to the value of
Sl34, over and above all membranes,
or which shall rent for 81 per annum,
over and above all rent reserved. The
proposition to repeal this provision was
voted down, the vote being 5, l22 to 1893,
and the next century may likely enough
find still in the fundamental law of
Rhode Island the only survival of the
old property qualification for voters.

a singular operation was perfor med
at St. Louis the other day, on a colored
man named William Tell, who was suf-

face and neck. The surgeons attempted
before undertaking the operation for it's

TYPHOID fever prevails in many places
east and west, and from the reports of
competent physicians and sanitary ex-
perts, the conclusion is reached that
whatever may be the general causes for
this disease, it is certain that the i,nme-
date ones may almost always be found
within the house, or upon the premises
Decay1ng vegetable matter in cellars;
poor ventilation; filthy outbuildings or
yard, with other sanitary neglects or
imprulence, will sually be found where
there is typhoid fever. 1t is Of course
not to be denied that there are some
times occult causes as there are for par
alysis, but so far as medical knowledge
goes, the majority of typhoid cases are
directly traceable to preventible causes.
The causes are relatively greater in the
country than is the city, which fact
ought to impel our village and rural
populations to exercise greater care than
is now universal in regard to cleanli-
ness of the surroundings of the house.
