Anticipated Trouble.

NEW ORLEANS, La, October 31.-The
following address issued by the Democratic
State Central Committee will show the some.
what dangerous attitude Of the campaign
committees toward each other and the pos
sibility of trouble at the polls on Tuesday ::
To the democrats of New Orleans and of
Louisiana :-To-morrow Friday the Fed
eral Judge who has displayed his partisan
ship by appointing to represent you at the
polls as United States supervisors, men who
are VIGOROUSLY opposing your regularly con-
stituted organization and nominees, may
assume the power of deciding whether 1000
duly registered citizens Of New Orleans
shall be stricken off the poll books at the
request of some of these so-calied democratic
supervisors and their republican colleagues.
You are besides to be confronted at the
polls by supervisors instructed by their
Chief, Norton, to resist arrest by State OIL
GERS, with or without warrant. According
to these outrageous instructions your State
officers can be lawfully shot down in the
performance Of their duty. These acts re.
call the usurpations OF 1872, 1874, 1876 and
1877 in this State and of the late murderous
elections in Cincinnati. They warn you that
YOUR firmness and patriotism are once more
to be tested by the republican appointees, who
have no regard for your rights as freemen
and American citizens and no respect for the
sacred prerogative of the State. Your exc.
cutive committee earnestly desire free and
fair election, and to that end counsel you to
act in strict accordance with the laws; but
they appeal to you to sustain the officers of
the State in the performance OF their legti-
mate duties with that horoism which you
displayed in the dark days of Lonlsana,s
history. and which won he admiration ofall
liberty loving men throughout the Union.

Lincoln County Health Repor,
REPORT OF DIR. r. J. BOWEN, CHIEF HEALTH
OFFICER.

From the date of my last report, October
l, 1881, tire health of this county has va
ried but little from the average. The usual
scourage of measles and whOOping cough
has been lighter and the diseases less preva-
lent. do not remember that there was
ever complete exemption from these during
the whole winter and spring. There was
small number of case. of typhoid or con-
tinued fever in scattered localities during
the spring months. These cases were all
very protracted, though none were fatal.
The occurred in groups mOstly,twO or three
cases in a family and all among whites
These disappeared by the 18th of July.
Since that time malarial fevers have pre-
vailed more generally than at any time
since the year 1877.
1t il not possible to give any approach
to correctness in vital statistics IN this
county, however much desired There are
no cemeteries within the corporate limits
Of any of the towns, and all the interments
are made without any sort of certificates
neither is there any certificates of birth.
A correct record of marriages might he OBJ
tanned from our county records. but that
alone would he of little use. As to death
about causalities, the railroad leads In the
list, not less than ten to twenty falling
victims to this juggernant. Most of the
victims are prepared for the sacrifice BY
snestbet:e doses of alcohol.
Our people have expressed very little
concern about quarantine this year. As
for suggestions for improvement in SANTA
ton, the principle points within practical
limits to be made is more comfortable
quarters and better clothing for the win
ter months.

. No Answ err.

There has Geen no answer " Gov.
Lowry's Veto Message. There can
be no answer. Upon the legal phases
Of the 'question the Governor has
made the issue sharp anil clear and
the people understand it. II re-
quires but very superficial under
standing cur system OF government
to see that the Legislature cannot
delegate its authority TO make laws
to u Commission, AS the Supervl-
sion bill attempted IN 40. The Con.
stitutiOn provides that the House OF
representative, the Senate and the
Governor shall concur in making
the simplest statute, unless the two
houses shall by a vote of two-thirds
of their members pass it over the
Governnr's veto. But this bill un.
dertook to transfer this power TO an
Irresponsible Committee whose deci-
sions should have the effect to all
intcnts ard purposes e binding
law. The power is not only lodged
nowhere else but in the Senate,
House ard Governor, but even if
these branches OF the Government
had the light 10 delegate it, it would
he exceedingly danger,u, 10 do So.
The people have no guarantee that
the Commission would alwats act
in their interest. Suppose they
should noti Suppose the Railroads
with their hundreds Of millions
should capture them? We should
then be in a much worse condition
with supervision then without it.
The bill had no precedent, an its
costly character "a we'll as the sea OF
| litigation in which it would
inevitably have plunged the State
with the Railroads condemned il
upon its face with thoughtful men
IL this az in other cases the
Governoe has shown himself to be 8
wise and fearless man that neither
the clamor of extremists nor the
threats tf politicians can swervs
from the plain path Of duty.
The effort made in the Legislature
TO pass the railroad supervision bill
over the veto failed. Judge Watson
made II strong speech in favor OF the
passage of the bill over the veto
while Hon. Marshall Miller made {
grand appeal to the House tn sustain
the Governor. The following wat
