DO away -with stctionilssmej'-ahd the machinations of the Grant clique for the presidential battle in 1880 will be so thoroughly disconcerted that Grant andGrantism, Gonkling and Conkling ism, Blaine and lJlauieisn)i Chandler and ChandleaisKaild 'alllsitch characters, such methods and such morals will be utterly disarmed for further mischief before another presidential canvass opens. All the hopes of this clique are i garnered up in the game of playing a i solid Norljh. aguist, a sona rouui. i i is essential to the game that the South should be stung and provoked into univ e J and persistent adhesion to one party. It is also essential to the game that cir cumstances slwuld te so shaped as to give a specious guise to the theory that the whole colored vote is rightfully lie publican, and that in so far as it is not Bepubican it is amalgamated by force and terror with a solid voting, mass of whites against the liepnblican, party, it is a game that contemplates, in a poss!- ble contingency, the virtual isfran- , chisemenc ot the opposition, on tne gi-ound that touthern solidity means a j new rebellion and a mighty usurpation, j But it is not certain that the game will I hs aceommdatiel"with the requisite conditions. At this moment it is evf - i dent that the organs of the Grant clique have exaggerated the extent to which sectionalism operated in determining the.successes of Jthe Kepublican party in, the North, or the success' tit the De- : " mocrattc:Jparty,k!tto: SbUth: 'it is per ceptible' that new: i5?siieliaviBg-iio rC ferenoe to the war or theTeconstrnction period, produced diversions in several Northern States momentarily unfavor able to tWe''Demratrcis(rty',:and in ' the South brought influencwinto play calculated to bseak op ; in- a perfectly legitimate mannjeriJthe,j,Qhl.

A solid Ala bama delegation is broken by the elec tion of one independent. In several Georgia districts independent candi dates for Congress made large inroads into the Democratic ranks and came very near to election. In the same State Mr. Stephens, who is again elect ed, may be fairly classed as an in$e-' pendent, since he never hesitates to dis regard the claims of party when they do not exactly accord with his own con victions or aims. The fact is that things are ripe for a healthy division of the Southern whites on issues apart from old sectiotml grudges. Such a division of the whites ' would be attended with a corresponding division of the colored vote.

If the South is to continue solidiQed, it will be the work of continu ed sectional-alarms and war cries, con tinued sectional threats and exaspera tions. Only the prevalence of unseo tional issues, North and South, can ren der the political situation altogether " heallliy and'safe: ' " " h . OOV. HAliPTON'S CONDITIO.

During the prevalence of yellow fever in Memphis 745,000 rations were issued to 68,022 persons. Trie setainers Charles Mortran, ironi Cincinnati, and Cotton Vallev. of the the Red River line, collided in the Mis sissippi river, opposite Donaldsonville, La., at 4 a. m. Sunday. Tlie latter ves sel was sunk and twenty lives were lost. A bale of cotton, contributed to the Benner relief fund, was sold at the Cot ton Excliange, Memphis. Monday for $1.02 a pound, realizing $510. The bale will be shipped to. JSew Orleans and other Southern cities to be similarly dis posed Of. It is understood that Heller, the ma gician, lett an estate valued at betweeu 300,000 and $400,000. The bulk of this goes to his wife and three . children, though his sister, who assisted him in his pertormance, is well provided tor. Special Agent Henderson.ol the post- office department, arrested at Rich mond, Va., Sunday, A. W. Wilcox, local agent in charge of the mails between the postoffice .and the railroad depots in that city, charged with robbing the mails. A Problem Long Since Solved. How to remedy those prolific causes of disease, an Impoverished circulation and an Impaired di gestion, was a problem the solution of which had often baffled medical skill, but which was solved over a quarter of a century ago by tho Introduction of Hostetter"3 Stomach Bitters to public and pro fessional notice. Since that time, which may well be said to have initiated a new epoch in the history of medicine, the remedy and preyentise referred to has obtained a foothold In the confidence of the AmericaneoBle.that each succeeding year has on ly served to strengthen. It is recognized through out the Union as a tonic of the first order, a remedy for and sure means of preventing fever and ague, and disorders of the stomach and bowels; as a re liable means of reforming a disordered state of the liver, and of counteracting a tendencyto rheuma tism, gout, urinary and uterine disorder. Last June a coal dealer of 'respectability and Srominencei W. S. Campbell, doing, -business in lew Orleans, Invested ten dollars: tn the purchase from M. A. Dauphin (P. 0. Box 692, New Orleans. La.,) of a ticket In the exfardlnary semi-annual drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery and drew $100,000. The next drawing takes . place on De cember 10th, and the scheme presented by the company is so attractive that it Is not unlikely some one of our readers will win the grand prize, after he resolves that he who ventures nothing wins nothing, and believing that Generals (i T. Beaure gard, of Louisiana, and Jubal A. Early, of Virglna, are honest men, and that the distribution under their sole care is an honest one. i n ; Q.ENERAL INSURANCE AGENCY, JIVERPOOL AND L ONDON AND , VLOB E (EIRE) INS. CO., ' AND OTRR3.
