THE Democratic Nominating
Congressional Convention of this
(siXth) district met at Summit on
Wednesday last. AS there was no
other candidate before the Con-
vention, Col. Thos. r. Stockdale
was nominated by reclamation.
The Convention passed resolutions
endorsing Cleveland and Thurman
and Stockdale. Col. Stockdale
was present and accepted the
nomination joyfulIy in fact he
was very happy. The delegates
enjoyed the banquet prepared for
Them, and there was something,
we suspect, stronger than water
drank by the boys.

MISSISSIPPI QUARANTINE.


The order Of the Mississippi
State Board of Health requirinl
all persons entering the State lC
have a health certificate has pro.
voked some severe structures
from the press Of New Or
leans and Mobile. The complaint
came reasonably from New Or
leans Oh account of the manifest
injustice such a regulation would
do to her daily local Coast travel.
Seeing this the order was authori-
latVelv interpreted as not apply
ing to that class of travellers com.
ing east from New Orleans, and 1t
was also amended so as TO allow
passengers coming from the east
''to furnish, if they have no certili-
cate, satisfactory proof that they
have not been exposed to yellow
fever" Still the Mobile Register
seems not to be satisfied. and says
in its Issue of the 4th inst, in clio
sing a lengthy article Of lar-letcbed
wit in the way Of rldicule, "Such
regulations are ridiculous and
ought to be modified"
Now, we think that is just one
kick too many. The Register
very well knows that 1t is just
about as difficult for q passenger
coming from a aorherly direction,
on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
though JuSt ont Of the healthiest
town in Mississippi, 10 enter the
city of Mobile, as it IS for oHe to
enter the State Of Mississippi com
ing from the east the only direct
route from infected Jacksonville.
The inspectors now require the
hardest kind of an oath, admins
tered and subscribed TO-, for any
unknown passen2ert to enter Mobile
on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
without a certificate. We are not
complaining at this by any means,
and rather commend 1t, but simply
state the fact TO show the incOnsiSt-
ancy Of the Register, as well as the
size of the mole hill hat cOnSti-
tutes its mountain so very "ridicu-
We endorse the action of our
State Board of Health in promptly
establishing a strict quarantine,
and, while they have properly
made some notifications, hope
they will not allow themselves to
be hoodwinked into too much re-
taxation. There is always a howl
about quarantine from certain
quarters, We are not satisfied that
Mobile shall stand guardian angel
Tor us on the east. We shall guard
our own borders, especially since
Mobile only recently allowed a
young man just from jacksonville
