The party managers in New York OF both
sides are looking over the ground With view
to the struggle which is to come in November
next Both republicans and democrats feel
that II Is highly important as a prestige of
future success to carry the Empire State. The
former feel that on a full vote New York will
give republican majority If there are no dis
sensions In the party, and efforts are being
made to harmonize the conflicting factions and
present q ticket which will command the sup
port Of republicans of every shade OF opinion \
conference of the leaders will, it is said, be held
shis month to fully and freely discuss the affairs
of the state and the best methods of uniting the
entire strength Of the party. At present the
number of candidates for governor is quite
large. and nearly every section of the state has
one or more favorite sons. Among those most
prominently mentioned as available candidates
are Senator Evarts, Gen. A. 6. McCook. ex-
Gov. A. b. Cornell, Hon. Frank Hiscock, Hon.
Levi P. Morton, Gen. Joseph b. Carr, the pres
ent secretary of state; Seth Low, mayor of
Brooklyn Hon. Martin i. Townsend and Joseph
W. Drexel.
The democrats are also confident of success
next fall, and feel that they have an advantage
In the national administration which it is be-
Heved will aid them as far as possible Two
members OF the cabinet, Messrs. Manning and
Whitney, are New Workers, and are skill
fnl political workers, the former being the
chairman of the democratic state central COM
mittee. To his effective management the carry
Ing Of the state at the presidential election is
largely attributed. The President, as q New
Yorker, will it Is held, the necessity of being
supported by his own state. Under ordinary
circumstances active administration aid might
be confidently looked for; but President Cleve-
land has thus far refused TO interfere in state
politics, and to be consistent he must refrain
from meddling even in his own state. What
his position will be can be better ascertained
after the prominent federal appointments in
New York city shall have been made. Those
who are looked upon as probable democratic
gubernatoriai candidates are Gov. David B.
Hill, the present incumbent; Erastus Corning,
Judge Rufus w. Peckham, State Senator ].
Hampden Robb, ex-Congressman Roswell P.
Flower, and ex-Mayor Cooper of New York.
Secretaries Manning and Whitney are both
mentioned as possible candidates, although it
Is not believed that either of these gentlemen
would consent to run unless deeming it absO-
lutely necessary for the success of the party.

The terrible fatality from pneumonia and ma
laria in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, should be a
warning to the health authorities in seaboard
as wen as inland cities and towns. The epidemic
there Is not accidental, but is the legitimate re-
suit OF neglect of all sanitary laws, and its ap-
pearance now proves that many places are ripe
for the advent of cholera as soon as 1t shall
make its appearance in this country. Aside
from careful attention to streets, alleys and
sewers, wells, of which there are a large num-
Der In fnis city, should be examined to see If
any drainage has percOlated into them. Damp
cellars and stagnant waste water are also fruit
1ul causes Of disease. for they poison the air and
impair the health of all within their range
There is much waste ground in the District, and
on many vacant lots stagnant water has been
allowed to stand until the miasma arising from
Its green scum affects the atmosphere for
squares. Proper precautions should be taken at
once, 80 that IL the cholera does come it will
ind little food to feed upon here

Mr. Gladstone is being taken sharply to task
by the opposition journals in London for his
arbitration agreement and 1t is said that the
conservatives will offer a vote of censure of the
government because it has failed to protect its
interests in India. Russia has apparently made
no modification of her claims, and the sudden
change of front of the English ministry so soon
as the vote of credit was passed is exciting pun
gent criticism. Sir Peter Lumsden's recall,
although asserted to be for the purpose of con-
sultation, is looked upon with suspicion, espe-
cially as Gen. Komaroff remains in command
at Penjdeh, and the situation is rendered still
more uncertain by Lord Granyille's proposition
to the Russian ambassador that Russia should
guarantee to make no advance on Herat and
will recognize Englands prOtectOrate over At
ghanistan. The war preparations are stin con-
finued by both nations. and, though peaceful
outcome seems probable now, 1t is felt on both
sides that a conflict must come sooner or later
In the meantime there will probably be some
very lively debates in parliament.

adopted declaring 'that the good of>the
public and the health of the country de.

Manning and Lamar for "the encourage

Negro Fiend Lynched.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 11.-Last Saturday
negro named Scales, who bad just been
discharged from the Cincinnati work house
and had obtained employment on farm in
Boone county, KY, made brutal assault
upon the five year old daughter of poor
man named Lunsford. The negro knew
that the child was alone in the house before
he catered it. Having threatened to kill
her if she told, the little one did not tell
her mother until her pain compelled the
disclosure. Scales was arrested and with
difficulty taken to the Burlington Jail.
There have been rumor5 nightly of attempts
to lynch him. Last night a mob broke into
the Jail, carried the negro to the woods on
the turnpike road and there hanged him to
tree.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondence Of the Ale1andris Gazette.


WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. II. 1855
Ex-Congressman E. John Ellis, of Louisi-
ana, who has now large and lucrative law
practice in this CITY, in a short talk with the
GAZETTE's correspondent this morning, said
that he intended to make speech or two
for General Lee in the present political cam
paign in Virginia, and was partially induc-
ed thereto by the fact that Senators Sher.
man and Hoar were fighting Mr.. Wise's
battles. He said be was little doubtful of
the result in Virginia at first, owing to the
dissatisfaction which he had heard existed
there in consequence of the delay in remov-
ing the republican office holders and the
unfortunate selection of the successors of
the few who were removed, but that all that
doubt was dissipated when he read the re-.
ports of the speeches Mr.. Wise was making,
and that he is now convinced General Lee
will be elected by large majority.
He said, too, that Mr.. Wise has by this
time learned that while he is playing
the part of the trick pony in the ring,
General Malone is standing at the door of
the show tent taking in the pennies, and that
the knowledge that General Malone is look
ing out for his own reelection, and would
willingly sacrifice him to achieve tits bandi-
Gaping him seriously. Mr. Ellis did not
designate the time when he would make bis
speeches in Virginia, but said as he hadn't
made political speech for almost year he
had one in him, felt like delivering it, aud
would do so before long.

STRANGE INDIAN SUpERsTITIoN.-The
Columbia River Indians in Oregon are thrifty
and Intelligent in many ways, but their ma
terial progress is sadly retarded by strange
superstition which they have relative to
land. Several of their more energetic mem
bers have made money, and it was supposed
when the whites offered to sell them land
that they would jump at the chance. A
few of the more advanced appeared to be
willing to make the purchase, though evil
IDENTIFY harrassed by doubts and fears, but
they finally backed out. 1t afterward tran
spired that the tribe has always held as a
religious principle that it was sinful to traf-
