nails of Jackson county. On the result
of the trial will depend the liberty OF
six men and perhaps the lives of sew
eral. The crime for which Jesse James
is on trial was the holding up of

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
By what constitutional authority can
person enter the home of another and
inject poisonous matter into the veins
of his family if objection be made ? The
fact remains that such power is not
vested in either the legislature OF Vir-
GINA or City Council of Alexandria.
And the man who deres to enter the
home of another without the permission
of such family, does SO at his own risk.
The smallpox scare thai has spread
broadcast throughout this State is De-.
lieved by many intelligent persons TO
be some disease other than smallpox,
brought to this country from Cuba dur.
ing the late war.
As au evidence of the contagon of
this so called smallpox, the writer
knows of g family consisting OF eight
or ten persons who have been quaran-
tined in home where smallpox was
said to exist and where the yellow flag
is now flying, and not gingle member
of the family has taken any disease,
and the person who is said to be infect
ed with the disease is able to do days
hard work.
There was q time in this city in the
early Cos that smallpox ragged with
great violence when the people died by
scores. and it was dangerous for per.
sons to walk by house quarantined lest
they should take the disease; but of all
the persons reported to have been af-
fected with this so-called smallpox few
of them have died,
When our city fathers shall be called
upon to vote on the question of compul
sorry vaccination, it is hoped they will
gravely consider what they are doing
and not Involve the city in any more
law suits until they have cleaned up
what they now have on hand.

VACCINATION

The article on smallpox in The Ca
zette Of the 18th inst. is scarcely worth
the notice of a educated man. Vacci-
nation is acknowledged by the whole
civilized world to be the only protec-
tion from smallpox. The vaccine lymph
used is assured to be perfectly pure,
free from pus, tuberculosis aud all dis
eased germs and incapable of causing
any other disease except VACCINE or
cowpox. The proof of the protection
OF vaccination is that after persons are
once vacclnated they cannot be made
to take smallpox even by inocculation
for certain period OF time; this exper.
iment has been repeatedly tried. The
protection is absolute for seven years,
and one or two subsequent yaccins
lions protect absolutely for life. Coun-
ties and cities where statistics have
been kept show the protecting power
of vaccination. In Sweden the
annual mortality from smallpox before
the introduction Of vaccination was
2050 per 10000 Inhabitants; after
vaccination 15S per 100000. In Ber-
lin in 1873 there were 263 deaths from
smallpox per 100000 inhabitants;
vaccination was made compulsory and
ID 1876 there were only deaths per
100000. Army statistics are even more
valuable as they are more accurate.
During the Franco-German war, in the
French army, where vaccination was
not compulsory, there were 23,469
deaths from smallpox; in the VAGINA
ted German army 261 deaths from
smallpox. There is no case on record
of doctor or nurse in g smallpox
hospital who had been vacGinated ever
contracting the disease.

ion that any person can vote who was
