A Shabby Job of Whftewash.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Some days ago,
the Journal of Commerce commended IN
favorably on the Associated Press in con
nection with the election returns from
New York and expressed the opinion thai
| Whitelaw Reid of the Tribune had exer'
cised an undue share Of influence in the
work. This morning the Journal contains
an editorial on the subject, written after
David M. Stone, the editor, had inquired
into the facts. 1t is as follows:
A joint Executive Committee of the
| Western and New York Associated Press
met yesterday to investigate the com
| plants which have been made from bott
parties concerning the reports OF the late
| political campaign up TO and including the
| returns of election. After q careful sift
ing of the evidence several facts of public
interest have been established beyond CON
| troversy, and we refer to them briefly IN
justice to ourselves and to others
Arrangements for reporting the pro
ceedings Of the conventions, the accep-
lance Of nominations and the sayings
and doings of the several candidates
were shown to be az perfect as could well
be desired and wholly without partisan
bias. Any seeming Partially to the one
or the other side in dispatches received
was corrected at once by William Henry
Smith, General Agent, and all that human
ingenuity could devise was done to give
reliable intelligence, uncolored by partisan
prejudice. The editorial comedies that
Mr.. Reid had no personal connection what
ever relative to the gathering of the re-
turns. In regard to the collection of New
York State returns, the Journal says that,
SO far as the action of the General Man
ager of the Associated Press or the control
of machinery is concerned, there is no
cause for complaint, and concludes as fol-
lows: Exactly how the returns from this
State took on the partisan character that
they assumed, one need not say, but we
are satisfied that no orders or directions of
the managers of the Associated Press had
any share in contributing to that result.
One OF Gods own.
New YORK, Nov. ga Suns Wheeling
special says: A letter received from a
representative of q numbering firm buying
timber in the extreme southern part of the
State and in the afflicted portions of Vir-
ginia, confirms the worst reports sent out
concerning the epidemic and drought
affecting that region. Forest fires are
frequent. and the village of Portion is
totally destroyed. The people would
gladly leave but have no means. Relief
| committees are organizing in some of the
larger villages. An appeal for food,
clothing and medicines will soon be made.
The Methodist minister at Gladensville, in
the Cumberland Mountains. buried his
wife and two children, making their collins
and digging their graves with his own
hands. He said the simple burial service
and was the only mourner. Day and
night he labored without ceasing, burying
| scores and acting as physician, preacher,
| undertaken and grave-digger and still
| refuses to leave his field of labor. His
name is Rev. Joseph Emmons and he has
a salary less thar $500 yearly.
The Strange Plague.
LYNoHBuRG, Va, Nov. 26.-The follow
ing is from a well known preacher in the
south of West Virginia: The latest ad-
vices concerning the epidemic in Wise,
Lee, Dickinson and Buchanan counties
are hesrtrending. On Guest river, Wise
county, within a radius OF four miles, 80
cases Of the disease have appeared. In
one instance a father and mother and six
children died. Many persons die for want
| Of attention. Business is suspended, all
being concerned with the sick and dying.
Six persons were buried in one graveyard
in one day. The disease is assuming a
milder form in some localities. Not less
than ITS Of the best citizens in Wise
county have died during the last few days.
The disease made its appearance in Lee
county, where several deaths occurred. A
more worthy people never called more
loudly for relief than these. They need
nurses. medicines and a committee of in
telligent physicians to diagnose the dis
ease and stop it's terrible march.
The True Business.

ing of colored citizens was held last night
