Is Il Nonsense9

II is hardly fair for DR.. HUSTEn McGuIRx
to characterize the New YORK quarantine
as q farce" and as sheer nonsense"
The ship that he came over in--the
Teutonic-- from Liverpool and
brought no steerage passengers, and was
no doubt passed" by the health officers
after very cufsory examination; but
those officers had the statements OF the
ships commander and of toe ships sur
geon that ell were well on board. II was,
therefore, useless 70 detain the ship up-
less the detention was to extend for such
period as would show whether any
cholera cases would develop. For such
purpose as that we imagine ten days or two
weeks would have been none too lcnR.
Nonsense or not, the New York ousran-
tine has thus far saved this land from
the cholera. Judged by results, it has been
success. As for onr scare" it was ne
cessary TO arouse the country to the
great danger confronting it. European
nations, with their strong central. not 10
say despotic, governments can put their
quarantine and sanitary machinery into
operation wild Tuucu lesS uOlSo ehoh W
can, but we do not know that they can do
u any more successfully.
There is now very little fear OF cholera In
Great Britain, il is true; but that is no
reason that there should not be fear IN the
United States. Excepting to take ship for
America, few emigrants go to Great bri-
tain. This too-often polluted stream gen.
orally aims for our shores, and experience
demonstrates that it is on shipboard-that
is TO say, in the fetid atmosphere OF the
steerage-that cholera most frequently
develops itself. So. because Great Britain
IL calm IS no reason why we should not be
disturbed. The ships which come to her
ports from all quarters of the earth do not
menace Der safety half so much as would
great crowds of immigrants leaving infect
ed communities and making sea-voyage
in the confines of the steerage.
The scare" of three weeks ago was
not baseless; but even il 1t was. it has
done good. II has reused mp all of the
boards of health of the land and given
them opportunity TO secure needed appro-
priatlons for hospitals, nurses, sanitation,
&c. And for this let us he thankful.

Clean Up the Streets.

Our streets have not of late presented as
neat an appearance as they usually do, but
for this there is satisfactory explanation.
The Board of Health thought that it could
do the public greater service by cleaning
up foul alleys than by sweeping away mere
dust and litter from the streets. The cor
rectness OF it's judgment in this matter is
not to be questioned. but we hope soon to
hear that the sanitary work has been ad-
vanced far enough to allow the streets to
have plenty of attention.
Next week we shall have great crowds of
strangers in the city. and we ought to
make the most presentable appearance
possible. Our citizens can help the au-
thorities in this matter. They ought, at
least, to be willing to sweep the sidewalks
in front of their factories, stores, and
dwellings.
Our parks, too, should be made ready
for next week. In the Capitol Square,
in Monroe Park, Marshall Park, CANDLES
Hill Park. &c, wherever there are washed
places in the paths, holes in the pave
ments, or paper strewn on the grass, the
keepers should. as far as possible. be
prompt to apply the remedy.
Richmond must put on her finest gar
ments, in which to welcome those who
are coming here to witness the trades
parade and attend the Exposition.

The Times and the Courts.


The Times quotes from the Constitution
es follows,
.The whole number OF membe-s to which the
State may at any time DO entitled in the House
OF Representatives of the United States shalt be
spportionod as nearly as may be amongst the
several counties. cities, and towns OF the State
according 10 their population"
ain the appcrsionment tue State shall be
divided into districts, corresponding in number
with tho Representatives TO witch Il may be en-
titled In the House OF Representatives Of the
Congress OF the United States, which shall DO
formed respectively OF contiguous counties,
cities, and towns. DO compact, and include, as
nearly as may be. an equal number OF popula-
ton"
The Times adds:
"Now suppose partisan Legislature In DIS
trieiing the State should constitute District No.
Of the counties OF Frederick, stafford, Nor
folk. Pistsyiyanis, Allegheny. aud Washington
with population three ;imes as great IN these
~ In any other district, does not the DISPATCH
believe the act would DO an unconstitutional
sc,s
"And, II an election oeicor, being Of that
opinion, should refuse to proceed with the exc
cation Of the act, and voters should apply TO the
Court Of Appeals for mandamus 10 compel
him 10 execute n. does not the DISPATCH think
the Court Of Appeals would be right 10 refuse 10
compel him By mandamas to execute IL, upon
the ground that the act was repugnent 20 the
coastitntioni Ano II t aid 50, does the DIS
fAfcn think the Court Of AppeaIs would be

The first question we answer IN the
Affirmative. But we might answer il by
supposing" that Governor MeKIsSEY

ALEAP FOR LIBERTY.
CONVICT MABE, OF LEE COUNTY,
JUMPS FROM A FAST TRAIN.
Search Made, nat No Trace of Him Dis
covsrsd--IanKston's Address to
the Negroes Other Notes

rCorrespondence OF tho Richmond Dispatch.l
PrrxaspuRo, VA, September 30.--A very
bold and probably successful leap for lib
erty occurred on the east-bound mail and
passenger tram on the Norfolk and West
ern railroad about o'clock this morning
Eve miles west Of this city. Among the
passengers on the train were Sheriff j. NJ.
Weston, of Lee county, and his deputy, j.
S. Mcneil, who bad with them a prisoner
named Daniel Mabe, sentenced 70 term
of twelve years IN the penitentiary by the
Comfy Court OF Lee-sight years for horse
stealing and four years for forgery. About
the hour above named, as the tram was
running thirty-fve miles an bour. the
prisoner asked permission of the officers TO
retire TO the water-closet and that the cuff
should be removed from one of his wrists.
The request was granted without any
suspicion on the part OF the officers,
and one of the prisoners hands was re-
leased by the removal of the cuf, which
was locked TO the other wrist. Mabe then
retired to the closet alone, but failed TO
return. In O few minutes the officers went
10 look after him and were astounded to
find him missing. The window was raised,
and the supposition is that he crawled
through and swung himself to the ground.
The train was stopped and the officers got
of and made search, but found no traces
of the fugitive. They came to town du;;
ring the morning. and securing horses and
assistance, went back to look for Mabe.
but could nowhere hear anything Of hun.
They saw where he had jumped from the
train near the eighty-seventh mile-post
and fallen upon the ground. but that was
all. Mabe is about % years of age, of me-
dunn height, fair complexion, and brown
eyes and hair. A reward is offered for his
capture.
coUNrER ADDRESSES.
IAngston has issued an address to his
colored friends throughout the district
urging them to support MIR. Gillian, the
nominee of the Republican convention at
Burkeville. Langston IL clean apart from
General Malone again, and his friends say
he will have nothing more TO do with the
General.
+ 1t is understood to-day that Mr.. w. NJ.
Flanagan, of Powhatan county, has pre-
pared the address soon to be issued by the
committee of Malone Republicans against
the nomination OF MIR. Gillian, and that
the paper will be very hot one. 1t Is
awaited with q great deal OF interest.
WILL RETURN To THE FOLD.
When the Third-party people fully un-
derstand that either Epes or Gillian is TO
go to Congress, 1t is believed they will re-
turn 10 the fold and support the Demo-
cratic candidate.
Very successful revivals have been in
progress oil this week at Oak-Groye and
Crawford churches. in Dinwiddie county,
and many conversions have been reported.
After the performance at the Academy
of Music last night MIR. Frederick Warde
was entertained by some of our citizens at
q fine supper given in his honor.

SAN FRANcIsco. September 90.-The finish
fight between Sol Smith. of Los Angeles,
CAL, and George Siddons. of New York,
for q $1,000 purse before the California
Athletic Club was not brilliant affair.
Smith had it all his own way up to the
twenty-second round, when there was
slight rally. but Siddons continued to take
most of the blows for his head on his
gloves. occasionally parrying or stopping
with an upper-cut. Smith had been doing
most of the work, and the blows gradually
lost steam. At the end of the forteth
round neither had any advantage. From
the fortieth to the fiftieth round there was
little done. and at the end of the fifty-ffth
round, not blow having been struck
since the fftieth, the referee consulted
with the principals and announced that it
was agreed they could not finish the con-
test, and that he would reserve his decision
until the meeting of the Board of d.
rectors next Monday evening.
