'"" D y Gea Johnston ; was - next Inter- viewed by 'the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial 'He '. thinks Judge Thurman is the. choice ofi Vir ginia. '.'We copy from the report:- "What do you consider ;as the most im portant work of your party during the ses sion? "Our persistent action to defeat the em ployment of marshals and deputyfmarsbals at tbe polls. That of itself was a i great victory and will entitle us to a great con sideration, I think, at the hands of all those who wish to see the freedom of the ballot maintained and all elections held by the people themselves, and tbe judges they select, unawed and uaterrifled by the dic tation of a soldiery and police force which is used for partisan purposes only. From present appearances 1 do not see how they can help but win." , . . . , Next Col. Roger Q. MUKsf Texas, was cornered. He thinks Thurman the best man to harmonize the party. Bayard has no showing. Hancock is quite available. "He stands well with our people and has a splendid record. His views on politics and finance suit us exactly, and I am not so sure but that he would be our strongest man. Of Tilden he said : "Tildeu is unpopular in the South. We have lost our confidence in him. He was forced on us in 1876, and we don't waqt the game repeated. I. think he is the weakest candidate that could be named by our party." HehinkB the f Republicans 'will nominate cither Grant or Sherman. Both are strong and would poll the full strength of the . party. He says the ex-leaders are for Grant. So much for the interviews. The Chattanooga, Tenn., corres pondent of the Norfolk Virginian says that what he wrote months ago that "there had been suspicious cases of fever at Memphis throughout tbe whole season," has been "confirmed" by "the events of the past few day a." The cases that have occurred recent ly "are from cases which have sur vived last year's epidemic." He draws this iuference: j : t m i . . i m ; . : id 13 aocinne snouia oe buuiuicui., iu mv ludement. to warn the people of the Southern States that their cities are liable to annual attacks from this disease, coming not from foreign countries, but from our own climate ana local sanitary causes. .When we have reached this conclusion we meet the question face to face of what is best to be done about it."

Tike Railroad Problem. ' " v"51 ;, Below, we give another solution, to the I Railroad Problem"; - ,. . , . r As the algebraic solution could . not be published lor want of "characters," and the pther was incorrect, L beg , to offer an other, by simple analysis, without assum-: ing that the engine's speed was either 25 or' 30 miles an hour.. ; ,.... t ' -j. .. . The engine rah 1 hour , at full speed;. 1 hour she stood still for repairs, and was 8 hours and 20 minutes behind time : on ar- rival at, destination. Deducting tho hour she stood still she was" 7 hours and 20 1 min- jutes behind actual running time; t This T .hours and 20 minutes represents two-fifths of-her running time in her damaged condi jtion; because, running at three-fifths origi nal speed, When she bad used up the full schedule time, ' fine bad 'only run three fifths of the distance,, to ; be run after Bhe broke down; and' hence, being 7 hours, and 20 minutes behind in actual running ' time, It takes ber this time to run . the remaining two-fifths. If these 7 hours and 20 min utes is two-fifths, one-fifth is . 3 hours and 40 minutes, and her whole running time in ber damaged condition is five times this ' equal to i hours and ao minutes. By an: cling 1 hour full speed, and 1 hour for re pairs, we have 20 hours and 20 minutes as the time from start to destination. , Deduc ting 8 hours and 20 'minutes behind time we have -12 hours as 1 the schedule : time; Now for the speed "Had she run 50 miles further before' breaking' down she would have been only 7 hours behind time." ! In Other words, she would have saved 1 hour and 20 minutes, the difference, between 8 hours and 20 minutes and hours. '! Id her damaged condition . she could run only, three-fifths her original speed,' and hence could only run 30 miles, while she could have run 50 at full speed. It takes her 1 hour and 20 minutes to-make the- differ ence between 50 and. 30 miles, i. e.,20 miles. Ji lt takes 1 hour and 20 minutes, Or four-thirds of au hour to run 20 miles I In One hour Bhe could run 15 ' miles, which is ber speed in her damaged condition, v ir 15 miles is three-fifths of original speed. then 25 miles was her original speed and 12 hours her Bchedulej time, hence the route was 300 miles. , . , B.
