DISPATCHES from st. Johns,
New Foundland state that the ships
"Thetis" and "Bear" of the Greedy
relief expedition had reached that
point with the survivors of the
Greedy party numbering seven.
Seventeen of the twenty-five per-
sons comprising the party per-
ished of starvation and one was
drowned while sealing to procure
food. They endured great suffer-
ing and privation. Some Of the
victims lived for a considerable time
after their feet and hands had been
amputated for frost bite. They
reached the furtherest point North
that has ever been reached and
bring back many maps, photo
graphic views &c, that will be valu-
able to science. Lieutenant Greely
was among thesurvivors.

In view of the fact that cholera
is prevailing in several OF the cities
of Southern Europe in epidemic
form, much attention Is now being
paid To sanitation In America. A
circular letter has been addressed to
the Secretaries of the various State
Boards OF health suggesting a session
of the National Sanitary Confer
ence, on or about the 9Th Ut August,
to take effective measures towards
keeping the dread disease out of
America and preventing its spread
should IL reach this country.
The Nashville World in comInen-
ting on the proposed session of the
Conference, says:
"The cholera has perhaps never
been known to strike Europe as an
epidemic without coming to Amer
lea as an epidemic, and it has never
failed to give this city turning
over. Much depends on the efforts
of the authorities in Europe as to
whether the disease is allowed TO
cross the waters or not. III it is
permitted to reach the American
coast through an inefficient quaran-
tine or sanitary measures on the
part of thelhealth officers in the old
country, or, through the neglect of
United States authorities to enforce
a rigid quarantine against vessels
from European ports infected with
the disease, it may be expected TO
bring with il CONSERVATION and dis
astcr. While the danger is not be-
Iieved by the health authorities TO
be imminent, yet, 1t is deemed adj
Visable that the whole country take
such precautionary measures as
may be at its command to prevent
the disease from getting a foOthold
in localities liable to its inroads.
GAINESVILLE is locality "liable to
Its inroads," and though the
danger of an epidemic here is
quite remote, 1t would be we'll
enough for us to take time by the
forelock and put the city in u thor
ough state of cleanliness. The city
should take some action
i'm that direction, and every head OF
a household should see TO thor.
ough cleaning up of his premises
and make a liberal use of disinfec-
tants. Such action, at this season
OF the year, would be nothing amiss
cholera comes or not.

David Hughes Case.

The statement that David Hughes,
who was tried some time ago at
Ashland City charged with abduc-
ton for purposes Of prostitution,
would be released on a technicalIty,
Judge Stark having failed to pass
sentence on him, seems 10 be q mis-
take. We copy the following from
the Banner OfTuesday evening:
Two gentlemen from Ashland
City, Cheatham county, called to
see Judge Ferriss this morning, and
stated that they had made an ex-
animation of the circuit court rec
ord, of that county IN the case OF
the State VS.. David Hughes, and
found ii all right. Judge Stark did
pass sentence on the defendent and
the record showed this to be in
proper form. They also SAID that
Hughes was there few days ago
and made personal examination
of the record and he too found it to
be correct, and no loOp-hole loft for
him to escape on technicality, or
by an error on the part OF the judge
or clerk.

The Independent Republicans
held conference in New York
Tuesday. a list of those present
showed that Massachusetts was
more numerOusly represented than
any other state except New York.
There were few from New Jersey,
Connecticut and some from more
distant stateg. George William
Curtis called the conference to order
and Charles s. Goldman was elected
President. Mr.. Goldman and several
Others made speeches, the burden
of which was that the personal in
tegrity OF tho candidates presented
is the main issue in the present
canvass, and though Republicans in
principle, they prefer Cleveland to
Blaine. The PLATFORM in the
same tone and Is very eulOgistic
of the Democratic candidate. An
executive committee was appointed
and preparations made for active
work. The platform was read by
Geo. WIN. Curtis, who is probably
its author.

A GRAND SPEECH.

Citizens of Albany, New York, Pay They
Respects to Governor Cleveland.
When the electric wires had fash
ed the news from the Atlantic +
the Pacific and from the Lakes Ia
the Gulf, of the nomination of Cow
ernor Cleveland for the higheI
Office In the gift of tho America,
people, the Young Mems DemocraEq
ic Club and Jacks0nians and cite
zens of the capital of New Yorlel
went out in force and serenaded TIT
distinguished nominee. In RESPONSE
to an address tho Governor said Z
"FelIoWscitizens cannot but
be gratified with this kindly greet
ing. / find that / am in fact reach
ing the point where shall count
the people of Albany not merely as
fellow citizens but az tOWnsmen and
neighbors. On this occasion am,
of course, aware that you pay no
compliment to a citizen and present
his personal tribute, but that you
have come to demonstrate your
.
which they are heartily attached.
The American people are about to
exercise in Its highest sense their
power and right of sovereignty.
They are to call in review before
them their public servants and the
representatives of the political par
ties and demand of them an account
of their Stewardship. Parties may
be so long in power and may be-
come so arrogant and careless OF the
interests of the people as to grow
needless OF their responsibility to
their masters. But the time comes,
as certainly us death, when the peo-
pie will weigh them in the balance.
The issues to be adjudicatcd by the
Nations great ASSize arc made up
and arc about to be submitted. We
believe that the people are not re-
ceiVing at the hands OF the party
which, for nearly twenty-fOur years
has directed the affairs of the Ma
ton, the full benefits to which they
are entitled, of pure, just and eco
nOmical rule. We believe that the
ascendancy of genuine Democratic
principles will insure better gov
ernment and greater happiness and
prosperity to all the people. TO
reach the sober thought Of The ma
ton, and to dislodge an enemy en-
trenched behind the spoiIs AMI pat
rOnage, involves struggle which,
if we underestimate, we invite de-
feat. ! am profoundly impressed
with the responsibility of my part
i'm the contest. My heart, l know,
is IN the cause, and | pledge you
that no effort of mino shall be want
ing to secure the victory which
believe to be within The achieve
ment of the Democratic hosts. Let
us, then. enter upon the campaign
now fairly opened, each one appre-
ciating well the part he has to per-
form, ready with solid front to do
battle for a better Government, con-
tidently, courageously, always hon
orably and with firm reliance
upon the intelligence and patriotism
of tho American people,"

Mr. A. HOWELL, one of the board

this city, and Superintendent Wcbor
have both rendered their resigna-

teacher in the school. At the reg
ular election of teachers held last
month Miss Lowell, who had been
a teacher in tho public school for
several years, was not reelected.
This fact caused considerable feel
ing OH the part of her friends who
induced the Board to reconsider
its action. This was done last We'd
nesday and Miss Lowell rcinstatcd
in her former position. The rcsigna-
tiOns of MeSsrs. Howell and Weber
