CITY DRAINAGE.


This is a question which is attracting
much attention in every part OF the coun-
try. No city can be healthy without drain.
age. The Nile has been the chief physi-
clan of Egypt since and before the days of
the Pyramids. The annual overflow of
the Nile picks up the filth and bears it
away to the sea, thus bringing fertility to
the soil and health to the people. This
great stream has been teaching for thou
sands of years the lesson that cleanliness
is the first law of health. The admirable
sewerage system Of Memphis, which has
been examined and adopted by other
cities, has no doubt contributed to the
health which has prevailed since the
Inauguration Of the system. The peo-
pie Of San Antonio, Tex, are discussing
the importance of sewerage and drainage.
The town has a population OF 10000, and
is one OF the healthiest in the entire world.
But the few cases of sickness in certain
o calities have been directly traced to the
want of drainage. The people of Sacra-
mento, Cal, are discussing the importance
OF drainage. The city has a population of
$4,000; there are but few deaths, and these
always occur in the vicinity of nuisance,
which is thus described:
There is, south of this city, II section into
which the drainage of the town flows. The major
portion Of il there remains. OF course n foul
condition results. Now, this evil must be abated.
We have talked about i for years, but accom-
when further delay is criminal. The general
judgment fayors the diversion of our drains to
the river and the filling up of the spots already
foul. The accomplishment of this work may
necessitate considerable outlay, but this people
cnn make no better investment. From this time
on every ~eXertion should be made to the abate-
ment Of the nuisance, and it should be accom-
plished in some form before the season of high
water comes on.
A perfect system Of drainage is the de-
mand of all the towns and cities Of the
country. 1t is stated by writer's on sani-
tary engineering Who have carefully
studied the subjects Of town drainage that
that there are many hundreds of cases
where cities Of from 10000 to $4,000
inhabitants are without any sort of sys.
TEN Of sewers and where thickly-built
towns are without any plan Of drainage Of
any kind. The people are alive TO these
dangers, and are determined to remove
every cause which science ]pronounces q
a breeder Of disease and death.

A Southern Vice-Presidenf.

Augusta Chronicle: We do not share
the Htrald's opinion as to the effect a
Southern Vice-President on a Democratic
ticket would have on the North. There is
no good reason why il should have a bad
effect, and yet such would be the result.
No ticket thus loaded could win. The
North would not take the chances of hav-
ing a Confederate succeed to the Presi-
dency. Things have not mellowed down
to that point as yet. Perhaps in another
generation the pestilent politicians of the
North may all be dead or retired. What
the South is most interested in is the nom
ination of a man for the Presidency who
can be elected. And the margin of chance
is very slim. Tilden is a possibility, Henry
b. Payne, Abram S. Hewitt, Hugh l.. Jew
EFT are probabilities, Judge Field alone
represents a certainty. The South, if
united, can name the candidate for the
Presidency, and as the South will have to
do most toward electing him, and as she
is most interested in his election, she
ought to do the nominating.

THE wholesale trade of Chattanooga,
Tenn, has increased wonderfully in the
last few years. A wel1-known broker of
that city, in conversation with a newspa-
per reporter the other day, opened his eyes
regarding the extent of the grain, provi-
sion and grocery trade. He stated that in
one day last fall a sale of $50 carloads of
grain was made by one broker. Sales
amounting to $4,000 are of frequent oc-
~currence, and an aggregate sale by one

~ALFONS0SAT PARIS.
The Bias WARMLY Received and Loudly
Kissed at the French Capital.

PARIS, September 29.-klng Alfonso ar
rived to-day. He was met at the depot by
President Grevy and his Cabinet Minis
tiers and a large crowd of people. The
crowd hooted and Kissed the King upon
his appearing, crying, Down with the
Uhlan King" The soldiers and police
had great trouble in keeping order. The
people were very much excited, but good
naturally cheered the French troops.
The houses and balconies along the routes
traveised by the King were thronged with
people. As the King appeared at the sta
ton the crowd made so great a clafror that
the Spanish national anthem, which was
being PLAYED by the band, was almost in
audible. The claInor continued in all the
streets through which the cortege passed,
and insulting cries directed at the King
were continually raised:
The Republique Fruncatss to-day pub
lished q statement, which is signed by
prominent Spaniards of this city, that
King Alfonso declares that he has entered
into no engagement involving his kingdom
during his visit to Germany.

Not Until All the EN-COnfederates and
Their Sons are Dead.

Tuscumbia North A~Idbamidn: We fear
that Col. Keating's suggestion that q
Southern Democrat be placed on the next
Presidential ticket will meet with small
favor at the North. The prejudice up
there against us is not confined to the Re-
publicans. They only took up Malone,
1ongstreet, Mosby, and others of that ilk,
to use them as tools in the performance of
their dirty work. They did elect Andrew
Johnson to the ce-Presidency, but tried
hard to impeach him when he baked
them in their cowardly efforts TO enslave
us and confiscate our little remnants of
property. 1t isn't time yet to hope for an
unreserved extension OF the olive branch
to us, and will not be until most of those
who were alive in 1865 nave died.

A Southern Man Ought to be Nomi-
mated.

Fort Worth Gdsete; There are among
the names of Southern delegates men who
are the peers of any that can be named
from the North. The names of Lamar,
Hampton, Gordon, Garland, Reagan or
Hancock would lend strength to the ticket,
and would be a guarantee Of the honest
administration OF the duties of the office.
Even as bitter a partisan as Blaine pays a
deserved tribute to the integrity of South
has beer nothing since to justify the con-
clusion that those on the stage Of action
to-day do not possess the same attributes.
The nomination of a Southern mar would
forever quelch the sectional strife, which
has well nigh spent its force.

But the moment an ex-Confederate
Democrat demands that the Southern De-
mocracy be recognized by the Democratic
party that same ome the Northern De-
mocracy say: "Oh, the time has not come
for that" And yet the Southern Demo-
Gratis do all the voting. Why; if it were not
for the Southern Democracy the Northern
Democracy would not live a week. There
was a day when to be a Southern Demo-
crat was to be a prince in the Israel of the
Democracy.

No Southeruer Need AppIy.

Bolivar Tenn Bulletin: The New
York Herald and two leading papers in
Tennessee have pre-empted the idea that
we must have q Southern man on the
Democratic ticket next year. They are
entitled to the credit of advocating a step
that would make defeat certain andfll the
Republican camp with joy for months be-
fore the election. Really, the party is
making 4 fine start for 1884.

To Ignore the south is Rank Injustice.

Dallas TEX Herald: 1t is a source of
satisfaction to see some OF the greatest
Northern journals, the New York Her
all among the number, conceding to the
South the right to demand representation
upon the Presidential tickets. 1t is the
beginning OF the end OF the South's exclu-
sion from hat voice in public affairs and
in the distribution of the first prizes, that
for twenty years she has cheerfully sub
mitted to, as a matter of policy" Is there
any special virtue or wisdom, or any para
mount interests in the North and West,
that are not found in the South, that these
sections should have n monopoly OF Presl-
! Dental nominations? Or do they alone
possess the great men OF h nation ?
There is but one way to close the issues OF
tie war and to wipe out s~eCtionalism,
and that is to recognize III section espe-
scially and ignore some other n IN the
distribution of nominations and patron
age. The South is entitled by reason OF
her wealth, patriotism, population and
interests to the equal consideration by the
national conventions with the other sec
tons in the search for the proper national
standard-bcarers and it would be nothing
but right, and policy, even, to demand this
recognition now. There are questions of
availability and doubtful States and con
c~essions to certain interests that enter
largely into Presidential nominations, and
ii such considerations should result in the
exclusion Of Southern men from positions
the South could not complain. The Sec
ton would have to bow submissively to
the expedients and ethics of party, but to
ignore leading men, and trusted and ex-
perienced statesmen simply because they
are Southern men, is an injustice and
piece of prejudice that grows only the
more fragrant and inexcusable as the South
progresses in her career of wonderful in
dustrial development, increase of popula-
ton and intelligence and regard for the
Federal institutions.

unanimously named, on the 18th instant,
for that office by the livery or freemen of
London, who are entitled to vote for lord

BELGRADE, September 29.-The session
OF the Skuptichina opened here Saturday.
Although the question first brought before
it was the election of a temporary presi-

and it almost ended in a fight. After an
uproar, lasting an hour and a half, the
Radicals were victorious.

How Lons is the south 20 submit

Birmingham ALA Age: Southern peo-
pie ought to be tired of being influenced
by the squeamishness of their Northern
friends and the taunts and reproaches Of
their political adversaries. The Demo-
cratic party will never ADVANCE an inch as
long as it is kept defending itself. The
whole party must be united in aggression.
Neither will the Democracy ever win a
national victory as long az one-half of the
party is put upon the defensive for the
other half. And why defer the date of
manly self-assertion? As long as it is
postponed our adversaries will declare
that we are weak. The long and short Of
it is the American people are of such stuff
that they will always be afraid of a party
which is afraid of its own record and afraid
to be aggressive as a party SHOULD be to ac-
complish what it wants The audacious
~effrontery OF the Republican party has
kept it in power more than ten
years after its mission was ended.
Verify, it would seem that the Re-
publican thief of to-day is of more honor
than the Democratic traitor of twenty
wears ago. Ii the Southern people will
get down in the dust and say, 1--WE are
nightly ashamed and Inundated for the
part we took in the last war, and we are
willing to prove the depth of our repent
ance by voting for n Republican candi-
date YOU name" perhaps the Republican
party will forgive the Southern Democrats
and give a few of them like Malone and
Mosbv and Longstreet a boss-ship or a
| little foreign mission or a p~ostoffice. The
question is, how long is the South to sub
nit amiably to being Ieviled and spit
upon?

we do not think a man should be nomi-

stead of recognizing sections, they should
be merged into the oneness of the Union.

Cant give I'm John G. Brown.

Nashville Banner: There is not a State
in the South, unless it is Tennessee, that
would not give o Brown ar hearty and
enthusiastic support in national conven-
ton for the second or even the first place
on the Democratic ticket for 1884. But
without any opinion from him, we can
safely say that he wants neither, and GER
tainly would not abandon his large indus
trial interests for the Vice-Presidency.
The South needs the industry and energy
of Gov. Brown, truly one OF the "tnost
progressive and useful men in the Union"
and could not afford to, again push him
into politics. We heartily indorse all our
correspondent said of this distinguished
"ex-Tennessean," and well was it said
that, "he is a man OF conspicuous ability,
vast energy and great practical results,
and would be a palpable power in the adj
ministration Of the national government"
We have good men in the South, if the
South as a section is to nave repre-
sentation on the national ticket in
1884, who have made politics a bust
ness, as it were, and whose service We
could continue to furnish the public with
out detriment to our progress. But it
would be bad policy to cripple our rapidly
increasing prosperity by losing to the COM
| mercial and business interests of the South
the influence and energy OF such men as
Gen. John B. Gordon and Gov. John G.,
Brown. We repeat that such a loss could
not be afforded. The sacrifice should not be
made for the sake of the honor gained, or
for any claims of representation that this
section may imagine due it. We could
furnish any one of such men as Vest, La
mar, Harris, Hampton, Blackburn or any
of the many leading politicians of the
South, but we have pressing need for the
Gordons and Browns at home. We think
the post of greatest honor is the one o.
greatest usefulness.

For Smith Herald: The opinion eX-
pressed by Col. Heating, of the Memphis
APPEAL, in an interview by the New York
Herald, that the South should be repre-
scented on the national Democratic ticket,
is meeting with enthusiastic favor all over
the South. 1t is fully time that the Demo-
cratic party was na~tionalized. The South
ern Democrats nave been the "hewers of
wood and the drawers OF water quite
long enough. They have rights which it
is now time should be recognized. The
South, representing the majority of Demo-
cratic voters, has stood back because it
was "expedient," with commendable pa
tience, and she should now be received
with that public recognition which has all
these years been denied her, for fear of
waking up the old war ghosts. II the
South is a part of the nation, then why
shouldn't she be recognized by the political
party to which she belongs? Weagree with
the APPEAL that nothing but the most
arrant cowardice and sneaking subserv-
iency to Northern prejudice can stand in
the way of the consummation OF the
naturalization of the Democratic party"
1t is time that a broad and national view
of our political situation should boldly ig-
more the narrow-minded, biased prejudice
which has stood the dreaded color-bearer
of the bloody shirt for so long a time.
Happily for the South, it is in a healthy,
prosperous condition, thinking more OF
industry and development of her re-
sources than politics, and not to be recog-
nized by a place on the national ticket
would be no great disappointment, but
that much is due her and that much she
should receive,
