YESTERDAY'S

Gaiette is

two days behind, ac

cording to its own showing, we "would suggest to the public, who read this sheet, the propriety of hiring a $mall boy to look up* the news and peddle it out by mouth, as it is would be delivered in much better shape, and at leji$| fortyeight hours earlier.

THAT sweet -scented "Ball" of the school board, in his slicet of nothing yesterday* says: "Republicans whb labored under the impression that discord and disunion had wounded the City Cotincil Democracy. That strife and blind ambition had hacked at and torn it, by. which alone its control of the city patronage was made sure, will le glad to learn from a perusal of tho Council report in to-day's GwUr, I it still lives."

c*As

the warm weather settles

ith such,

sultriness over our city it woulqbe well for us to examine the sanitary Condition of onr city, and see if we are prepared to receive such messengers as the c*ss pools and ponds of ©or vicinity we liaise to send us. In the Apt place, although our city is built on high ground arm upon dry, sandy soil, yet we are in such proximity to the malarial flats between this city and Maxville fhat should a malignant yfre 6f malarial fever break out during the warm weather, it would undoubtedly, create .great havoc among our people especially amang the little children. The jfondsand marshes west of the river are (he homes of that peculiar form of njalaria, so well known in this community a sort of

organic poison that permeates

the surrounding atmosphere wring the warm, sunny days, and is wafted in all directions by the different currents of air. The mortality tables of the United States for 1870 show that malarial fevers formed the most striking feature of the death rate, and especially in the 8tates of Florida, Louisiana and other States bordering on the marshy bottoms of our greatest rivers.

There is no question but the essential element of malaria is the decomposition of vegetable matter under the influence of moist, warm air and the sandy condition of our neighborhood renders it doubly more prevalent than under ordinary circumstances.

The people who breath this heavily charged malarial atmosphere are no more fit to enjoy life undents influences than they would be with dyspepsia.

If one wUL -but' stop and think. of the# vast jungle of weeds that springfup in the river bottoms during the summer months weeds twelve and fifteen feet high and forming an impenetrable jungle 'that fall and decay during the warm months of autumn and early spring, he cannot but wonder at the sad havoc which would occur if such a type of malaria as the yellow fever should be brought to our city.

There is but one way to avoid this danger and that is for our board of health to see that all the^ools in our city are filled and all the filth hauled away and burned, if possible, and as'for the river bottoms, when the owners make sufficient drainage to carry of the stagnant water, or levee the river so that the malarial marshes could be cultivated, then our Prairie City would be in a good condition for the reception of such hialarial visitors as might come to us from abroad.

GRANT MEN.

A gentleman of great promincnco in the Republican party made the assertion this morning,ftn the presence of several minor gentleman of Republican proclivities, that if they would show him a single Grant man in town, (who was a gentleman) that he (the prqrjiinent Republican) would swallow him whole We turn to the "tablet," and in two #'to nils produce the following names who are xsiujst MKN: N. Filbeck, Geo. I lay ward, I. N. Pierce, E. P. Beauchamp, F. C. \Danaldson, Geo. W. Kliser, Lou. Baganzj, Jay Cummings, W. B. Tuell,Chas. Kreitenstin, J. 0. Hardesiy, J. 0. Jones, E. X. Seldomridge,, Geo. 0. Armstrong, VL'S. label, David Conover, W* W. Goodman, Fred A. Ross, 061. R. N. Hnd&on, I. M. Brown..

We could mention names by the hundred who are for Grant, first, last and all the time, but we clo not believe in agitating public feeling in such jnattcrs, as it can do no goodWe merely mention it in this connection to show ttye prominent Republican that although he may have spokoti more tlgaes than afiy other Republican in the State, yet Jie is somewhat "off his nnt" when he makes tho very broad assertion that there is iot a Grant man in towi.. We would suggest that the "pntaniuent Republican begin his "feat" of taking on his delicate stomach the abttve named gentlemen, and that the performance begin promptly at 7 a. m. tomorrow morning at the public square.

—An explanation of the topic, under discussion,, in regard to the religious question which has been aggitated so warmly during the last few days, has at last been offered by the time honored orator, who lived in the days when the discussion "of this subject was new. He appears in his present condition to be resting at ea|e and we are glad to know that tlie NEWS cannot be be bound by fetters to* this tcrestial ball, but taking the wings of the supernatural soars away into inlluite space and at last finds rest on the stupes of eternal blessings where it is reatf j^id appreciated to that extent that some of the inhabitants of that happy land offer to enlighten the dull minds of us insignificant creatures here on earth. Pluto has lost a large amount of the attribute of eloquence. which was the cause of esta& Hshing the imperishable fame. Never the less, lie seems to know the qualities characteristic of the NEWS, and thus favors us with his knowledge on the point we have been studying over so long.

THE present status of delegates to Chicago gives Grant 482 and Blaine 133.

MR. HENDRICKS.

Gives Out aifOpinion to tl»e Political Frwpect. ..

The correspondent of the Commercial had quite a familiar chat" .with Mr. Hendricks the other night, in which the distinguished gentleman gave out some very important'utterancea.* In a talk on the probabilities, Mr. Hendricks said:

I am free to say that I do not want the Chicago Convention to nominate Grant have not hesitated to tell my friends that in my opinion Grant is the strongest candidate that the Republicans could nominate. 'The reason is there .is more of him than any other Republican in the field. The fact is, said the ex-Governor, the Democrats are impressed with the idea that he is weak, when in fact he is strong. Why, I have correspondence from the State of Mississippi, which states that if Grant is the nominee that there is great danger of his carrying three or four Southern States that no other Republican can carry. The negroes down there will vote for Grant in spite of rifle clubs. They have great respect for him as their deliverer.

What do you think of Blaine I asked. Mr. Hencfricks—If I was a Republican I would not vote for Blaine. As to Sher: man, he is aa iceberg.

Turning again to the supposed weakness of Grant, Mr. Hendricks said: If the Democratic Convention had its way in choosing the candidate for President for the Republicans, they would nominate Grant, and I believe if the Republicans had their way they would nominate Tilden as the weakest Democratic candidate,

You think then, Governor, that the Republicans, on that basis, would have the advantage of the Democrats, I modestly asked

Mr. Hendricks—I think they would and the Governor smiled as serenely as did ever Ah Sin with the full assurance of four aces up his sleeve.

In order to test the views of the exGovernor on the military question, I suggested that, in view of the disgraceful1*!fair at West Point, that the military academy ought to be abolished. To this Mr. Hendricks said:

I do not think we ought to do away with West Point. War is a great science, and as long as jt continues we need educated military men to conduct them.

But wouldn't the country, in case of war, be safe in the hands of volunteer generals? I asked.

Mr. Hendricks—I do not think so. In our late war men educated at West Point —Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and that class —were the successful captains. I admire Grant as a great military chieftain in that Hfcar, but he is a pigmy as .compared t® Von Moltke, of Germany. The latter does not consider the battles of our war as scientific. I hope to see the day, continued Mr. H., that wars will be no more. One of the bright spots in Grant's administration was his settlement of the Alabama claims with England by arbitration. I hope to see the day when this mode of settlement will avert war, then we can abolish West Point.

THE

Inter Qcewn

of yesterday has a

very sensible article on the instruction of delegates. It says: "No State delegation in a National Convention ever refused to recognize the instructions of its State, when that State instructed them to vote for a designated candidate for the Presidency.

There have been disputes as to when the dut3' was fulfilled and the demand of the State convention complied with, whether upon the first or second ballot, but instructions have always been recognized.

In the case of Pennsylvania at Cincinnati in 1S76. four delegates claimed that, after having once voted in accordancc with their instructions, they were at liberty to do as they pleased thereafter, and the convention, by a vote of 895 to 863, sustained them.

But they did not, as is generally supposed, refuse entirelv to obey tlie instructions of their State Convention, and on the first ballot the solid vote of Pennsylvania was cast for Governor Hartranft in compliance with sttcli instructions.

Mr. Stewart, the spokesman of the four who then went ^ver to Blaine, said: "I have tried to fulfill my duty, as I have stated, and on the first ballot voted for Hartranft now,. I want to fulfill my^ second duty, that to my constituents, in like manner, by voting for Blaine."

Though nine-tenths of those assembled at Cincinnati regarded the action of the four gentlemen as one of questionable honor, even* those voting for the right having less regard for the men who insisted upon exercising it, yet these delegates never assumed to go to the lengths which some people have marked out for members of the New York and Pennsylvania delegates in the Chicago Convention and ignore their instructions from the very start. No one will believe any set of men capable of such bad faith until they see a proof of it. We are sure that the men who fairly represent the honor of the Em-

fongand

»ire Keystone States will hesitate before tliey agree to such a course.

It only requires rwo years for the people of Memphis to take a hint. The Memphian intellect works slowly, but it is

fow

jowerful when it gets agoing. The yelfever came in 1878 and drove pretty much everybody out of the city for several months in the summer, besides destroying lives nt a rate that was simply frightful. That was taken as a visitation of Providence which could not have been averted. Last summer the disease came again, and after the frosts of autumn had made it safe for the scattered inhabitants to return to their homes once more, they set about to complete a system of drainage for the city, and with a working force of 700 men they have now finished 30 miles of piped sewer?, with as many more miles of drain tile f*r the branches or feeders. Besides the sewerage and drainage, much has been done in the way of cleaning and filling vaults, the demolition of old buildings* and the tearing up of rotten wooden pavements, so that tne city of Memphis is, in a sanitary point of view, in a better condition to-day than It has been before in many anil many a long year.—Exchangt.

Let our fioard of Health see that our city is in as good a condition. There are several alleys that need examination and the attention of the garbage teamster
