MAYERS, Business Manar. rASCAGOlXA, MISS Oct. 11, 1878. Democratic Nominee For Congress. nON. CIIAKLKS K. IIOOKEK, Of Hinds County. Last Wednesday wns observed as a day of fasting nnd prayer in Louisiana. The yellow fever has ruu its course iu (ireuadn. 2so deaths have been reported there for a week. Gov. Stone haa appointed Hon. J. B. Morgan, senatorfrom DeSoto, as chancellor for tlio Third district, vice Hon. .1. C. Gray, deceased. IJroszk John permitting, the next term of the United States su premo court will begin at Jackson on the third Monday, the 21st day, of this mouth. Gen. E. G. Walthall contribu ted 1250 to the fever sutti'iers of Grenada. Such generous donations from a gentleiiran of his means will not soon be forgotten by the people. We learn that. Col. McCallum, editor of Yazoo City Herald, and Cupt. E. L. Koss, of the Canton Mail, are candidates lor secretary of state, lloth are. worthy and well qualified gentlemen. Mr. John 1. Coleman, city edi tor of the Viuksburg Commercial, is out in the country picking cotton at sixty cents a hundred. He who writes locals, then runs away, may live to pick cotton another day. D. XV. Coon, manager of the Grenada Howard association, has been presented with a gold watch as a slight appreciation of the grati tude those citizens fed for his meritorious services during the epidemic. Col. Mayers, the Business Man ager, is at JJandsboro working no bly iimou the fever sutlers. He and family were up and well last Wednesday evening when we last heard from him. He is cut oft from this place by quarantine, con sequently has not been here for over two months. In the proper column will bo found the announcement of Col. XV. 11. McCnrdle as a candidate for secretary of state. Col. McCardlc is a distinguished member of the press of this State, has been n u active and efficient worker in the democratic ranks, and is too well known to our citizens to need commendation from us. A bcrai. journal speaking of tlic sickly times mid the dangers thereunto belonging nays: " Our flag in tinilil to tlio mast ana we intend to keep it living." Ik it a yrl- low this; f Srashure Gazelle. We heard of a rural journalist last week who in times of health eidisted in a society to care lor the stricken, and when the yellow flag of the saffron-faced enemy was flung to the breeze deemed it best to remove to healthier quarters. The Jackson Clarion of last week says " iu the event a new election is ordered for secretary of state, the chairman of the State executive committee will call a meeting of the committee as soon as it is practical for it to assemble. to consider the question of concen trating the support of the demo cratic party upon one candidate. Col. Barksdale, the chairman, is of the opiuion that it is not within the province of the committee to select a candidate, but that it should be decided by a State con veution of duly appointed dele gates. At the suggestion of a Mrs. Thompson, of New York City, who subscribed liberally to the fund to be raised to pay the expenses there of, a yellow fever couimissiou was appointed by Surgeon-General oodwortb consisting of Dr. S. M. Beiniss, of Tew Orleans ; Dr. Je rome Cochran, of Mobile, and Prof. . Lloyd Howard, of Baltimore for the pnrKse of enquiring into the origin of the present jellow fever epidemic, which is now so pre valent throughout the South. The commission, met iu New Orleaus last Monday and entered mion their work. 3d THE XEHsl'AVllR 1W.SIXI.SS. Jsoi many peoplo ouUide the newspaper business know the ups and downs connected with publish ing a newspaper, and the difficul ties under which a publisher labors. People who owe only snmll amounts to a paper think what they arc duo is not much auyway, and go on from month to mouth never think ing or caring to what extremities the publisher is placed iu order to get Ids paper out every week, mid lay before them tho news of the day. Hero is the way a broth or journ alist puts it. Head it, every line: " We suppose that many people think that newspaper men arc per sistent duns ; let a farmer place himself in a similar business posi tion and see if he would not do tho same. Suppose he raised one thou sand bushels of wheat, and his neighbor should como and buy a bushel, and the price was a small matter of only two dollars or less, and the neighbor says, 'I will hand you the amount in a few days.' As the farmer did not want to be small about the matter, he says all right, and tho man leaves with the wheat. Another comes in the same way until the whole of the one thousand bushels of wheat are Ousted out to one thousand dif ferent persons, and not one of the purchasers concerns biinifclf about it, for it is a small amount that he owes tho farmer, and of course that would not help him any. He does not reulizo that the farmer has frittered away all his large crop of wheat, and that its value is due him in a thousand little driblets, and that he is seriously embar rassed iu his business because his debtors treat it as a little matter. But if all would pay him promptly, which they could do as well ns not, it would bo a very large amount to the farmer, and enable him to car ry on his business without difficul ty." The above comparison is too truo of the difficulties that the newspaper man has to contend with. AT LAST. After escaping the saffron-faced enemy so long we had thought our community would be exempt from a visitation this year, but late de velopments prove to tlio contrary. The disease has appeared among us, and though the season has tar advanced, there is yet time for tho fell destroyer to work its way into many a household carrying death and suffering iu its wake. Still we see no cause for a panic or general alarm, and in times ot danger and disease every man should act and talk calmly even though he may bo somewhat alarmed ; let each one possess his soul iu patience, go about his business as usual, don't become excited, and if taken sick the chances of getting well will bo increased. Our place not being closely built up, the nouses being tar apart, the disease may not spread much unless carried from one house to anoth er by visitors, therefore wo advise that no one visit fever patients ex cept those who go to nurse, and then let those stay with the sick. Up to this writing (Thursday p.m.) there have been but two deaths from yellow fever, though there have been two deaths during the week from other causes, and several lying very low. In another column will be found report of tho sickness by Dr. Lam bcrt. We endeavored to get a re port from Dr. Blount, port physi cian, but failed to obtain it. "COXSISTEXCY, THOU AllT," ETC. Hie two following items, were clipped from the Seanhore Gazette. One written, we presume, before the yellow fever made its ap pearance at Handsboro and the other after. Look on this, and then on that: BEFOHE. AFTKlt. The yellow fever It is natnrnl that people should dread having made its ap pearance in our a disease so lata I as yellow fever.

TnEEE have been in Memphis up to the first iust., 2706 deaths by yellow fever, aud 0045 cases. , The average death rate from September to L8tb was 101 per day, since which time there has been atff.ady decline NuniiNii la more contagious tlutn fear, ami in these panicky timet, n ewil, cnlin in ii u or woiiiuii iti mom useful in u house hold than all the preventatives furdiseasu prescribed liy the doctors.

Wo don't mean to censure the (Jazclle for moving from Handsboro to Bean voir when Bronze John en tered the former town, but then men who set themselves up us teachers ought to practice what they preach, you know. An Indianapolis, Ind., dispatch of the 10th says that from present indications the Democrats have elected their State ticket by about the same majority as iu 1870, The nationals may have the balance of power in the legislature. Nothing is yet known in regard to congress men. Dispatches from Columbus, Ohio, of same date state that the latter State has been carried by the republicans by about 10,000 ma jority. Hon. Ji daii 1. Benjamin, who was Codfederate secretary ot state during the war, and who is now one of the most celebrated barristers iu England, has contributed 8500 to the fever-stricken cities of the South. President Macinahon, of France, has coutiibutcd $1000 to tho same cause. The Clarion says tho Jackson Howard association was not orga nized merely for homo emergencies, but to aid any point in tlio State. The association has been doing good work for other places. The Vicksbui'g Herald says " from all accounts the Mississippi, from Memphis down to tho Cres cent City, is earning its new title, the " River of Death." Col. D. P. Pouter, clerk of the senate, has been appointed secreta ry of state pro tern., by Governor Stone, in place of the lameuted Kinloch Falconer. Political Points. Cleveland Herald : Butler ought to give up polities aud take to the stage. Jle would be a great suc cess as Richard 111. New Orleans Picayune: Over whelming majorities will now be in order. Who is to get them is tho conundrum that politicians are trying to settle. New York Express : The worst thing about the "hard money" the republicans are howling about is that it is next to impossible for honest working people to get it. Harrisburg Patriot: We have the republicans on the run tor their intrenchiiicnts behind the money bags of the officeholders. Push them and pay your voting tax. Boston Post: Those chubby rogues, the young republicans, have wandered ott down to tilou cester, and their mammas are in a state of great anxiety about their getting drowned. San Francisco Post : It is evi dent that Butler .will get away with the democratic party of Mas sachusetts. What troubles the republicans is, will Massachusetts get away with Butler f Cincinnati Commercial: The anti-Butler democrats of Massa chusetts will feel very lonesome alter the election, aud be under the painful necessity of getting out a search warrant to find their party. Washington Post: Tho heart of the old and feeble republican party seems to be tilled to the brim with malice. It faces its fate with a bitterness of spirit that ill befits fie closing hours tit a bad lite. The organs of the party aud the speeches of its oratois are slop ping over with the gall ot bitter nets. The party will be a repul sive corpse if it keeps on iu this way a little longer. Portland Argus : The democrats propose to abolish bank bills aud substitute greenbacks. The differ ence between tho two policies in cost to the people would be not less than thirty millions of dollars a year, llie lonirer the radical leaders try to "educate the people" up to this doctrine, whether under the sham banner of "honest money" or other hypocritical pretense, the weaker they will be. The green backs have come to stay. Bank bills will go out, the radical lead ers with tliein. A National's Itcception. Columbus Independent. Gen. Davis spoke at Caledonia last Saturday. Two responsible gentlemen who were present make the following report: There were in town some fifteen people, two of whom came to hear the general speak. One of those two was from Monroe, aud Jast year ran on the iudeeudent ticket. The general suggested to the crowd that they go to church where they could be seated. But the crowd voted to stand and bear the general who sK)ke in front of Cartirt BUae. "I don't like that cat: it's got spliuters in its feet," was the ex cuse of a four year old tor throw ing the kjtfeu wy.. THE YELLOW PLAGUE. The Death March Goes Steadily on in New Fields.

Holly Springs, Miss., Oct. 8 There are only a few cases, but nearly all malarial or remittent. and h.ck the peculiar features that characterize tho scoursre. Some physicians have left and others speak of going. A halt dozen nurses left Tuesday evening for New Oi lcans. The limited number of cases and the daily increasing number of convalescents, many of whom belong there, will justify the Howards in recalling some of the people. Mobile, Oct. 7.

Fifty- seven cases to date; ten deaths, Fever on the increase slowly. Dull of Comprehension. Washington rust. Friends ot the administration claim that "entire harmony " has been restored by ConUmgs speech and the New York platform. If Mr. Hayes were a man of spirit, he would understand that the studied ignoring of the administration by CouUing and his crowd was inten ded as an expression of contemptu ous scorn. Anything less demon strative than a kick seems to be accepted by Mr. Hayes as a mark of aflection indicating "harmony." A Slim Cbaiic. Gen. Davia has about as much chance of gojng to congress from this district as a goat would have ot going to heaven in a wheelbar row ton the back of a hurricane. "Vox's" Reply to " liberty." Moss Point, Miss., Oct. , 178. Editor Pi inociat-Stiir. " This is no invitation to discus sion." This expression I 11ml just above the signature "Liberty" in your last issue. I do not wish to discuss the question with this lover ot freedom, but I cannot permit such a slanderous report to pass unnoticed. It was expected that some one would write up Moss Point, after tho grand success achieved on the night of the 25th ult., but it was thought that some body would attempt it who would not so grossly misrepresent lacts, thus casting a slur on our noble, generous hearted people. It is nothing but right that the facts, ns they are, should be set befoie the public, not as "Liberty," in the "wild hallucinations of his mail deued brain," presented them. Ot his description of the per formances I will say nothing, us tho public has already passed sen fence on them. But it was the public opinion that the entertain ment was given for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers, and no doubt this benefit brought out a great many people who otherwise would not have come, and who contributed their money not to "Moss Point's self-protection," nor to "aid Mobile," but to the suffer ers at various points. Now if the money did not go for this purpose the aim of the entertainment w as a deceit) and tho good people who patronized it wodld have a right to complain. "Liberty's" pen must surely have made a blot w hen his spectatorslnp was jotting down notes, or else his time and atten tion being so engrossed in eye-sore gazing upon Moss Point's magic circle of beauty and loveliness he entirely forgot ho was a newspaper correspondent. Whatever might have been his feelings toward Moss Point he should have at least given us fu.'l justice for what we did. Had this money gone iu the direc tion "Liberty" said it did, some one else beside his honor would have opposed it with quite as much ve hemence as ho has. But, Mr. Ed- itor, such a thing was not thought ol. On Thursday morning alter the entertainment, when our worthy townsman ami president of our relic! association, Hon. (Icorge Wood, tool; the chair and declared the house open for a motion as to w hat disposal should be made of the ..'1(HI, then, in view ot tho fact that the various cities where the epidemic was prevailing hail, through their relief associations ami citizens, published cards of thanks, stating that their present needs were bountifully supolied. and asking that no more money be sent, a mot ion was made and car ried not to keep "the money at home tor self-protection, nor to aid Mobile," as "Liberty" would have it but to place the money in the hands ot the executive committee of our relief association to be dis bursed as they saw tit, and, Mr. Editor, our executive committee is composed of men iu whoso judg ment our people have much more confidence than in that of this her ald of "Liberty." Wo arc aware that "our next door" is iu need of means, and in response to their call $.125 has been sent to Ocean Springs from that very fund which "Liberty" represented us as keep ing "at home for self-protection," and if she needs more our execu tive committee, has it in their power to send them tho last dime in the treasury. The relict asso ciation of Moss Point has had money in its treasury for a month or more, and they have repeatedly ollcred aid to Ocean Springs, which has been refused, not through any disrespect toward us but because at that lime they had a sufficiency to meet their necessities, and when they found that they needed aid "delicacy" did not "prevent the echo of want reaching our ears." They asked for it and cot it. Our people aie not so narrow-minded us to be bound in by State hne in their liberality; they would not stoop so low as to regard State lim it as the extent to which they should lend a helping hand. Fie on a man who would be so sectional iu his feelings toward his fellow man, bound as they are by a com uion weal and a common woe.
