A yellow fevr epidemic is raging in Car tagena, South America, and the American consul there prohibits American sailors from landing, refuses clean bills of health to vessels, and has taken other precautions to prevent the contagion being communica ted to yie United States.

This, as lit were, rendered Merri nion's defeat sure t I 2. But the theory of fraud, put forth in some degree to javoid the above re flection, is shown to be no less fabulous than the assertions to whose defence 1 1 is invoked. ' Of course we hold ourself subject to.be, convinced by specific evi dence of frauds upon the ballot,' when produced; but, meanwhile, what is tho general countenance which the subject presents? j . , ' , If there have been Republican frauds we shall expect them to appear In tho counties of large Republican majorities, where, therefore, they may best operate at the moment unobserved. , Where the opposition constitute about one-half of the population, and especially where they are iti. a' majority, such frauds are' not to be exiected,j.

Democracy, who, in return for his sacrifices made in their behalf, have given him the cold shoulder. The Connecticut Legislature has taken up the question of compulsory education. It is said that 16,000 children in that State, between the ages of four and sixteen, do not attend school at all, and the advocates of the new law think it is a state of things which should be remedied. Among the remarkablo mineral discov eries recently made in Utah that of a bismuth mine, the only real bismuth mine, mo " I was and &m In favor of the Louisville movement. Even the mere profession of adherence to Democratic ideas must soon disappear if, without any marked dissent, the party can be transferred to its deadliest foe." ..;' '.-j From this we judge that Mri O'Conor will accept the Louisville nomination which will undoubtedly. be tendered him.

Black, publishedin an other column, taking groundTor Mr. Greeley and giving reasons therefor. : ! Mr. Black says the Amendments were frauds upon the spirit and letter of the Constitution ; that sooner ortater-the courts will pronounce them void. Mr. Black means to say ; that with Mr. Greeley as President the Amendments will be dead matter on the statute books; and as soon as the Democratic party succeeded to power the U. S. Su preme Court will be manipulated so as to insure an opinion declaring them unconstitutional should a case be car ried to that Court. ; r Mr. Black is good Democratic au- He was Attorneys-General Under Buchanan ; is a leader of the Pennsylvania-: Democracy; and ihat Stampede from Greeley. ( Hon. W. H, Peckham, one of the most prominent Democrats of Kansas, is out ina letter repudiating Greeley and calling upon the Democrats of Kansas to assemble in Convention on the 29th inst., to select delegates to the Louisville Convention. A " State ticket will also be put in the field. W , , 5 f Ex-United States' Senator . O. P. Stearns, of Minnesota; hastens to deny the published report that he favors the election of Greeley. How he stands he states in vigorous language thus: ' " I have only to say that I never had any intention of supporting Mr, Gree ley, and never knowingly gave any one any. reason to suppose I had. I be lieve the Republican party is the only party now in existence which has suf ficient coherency, sagacity, and courage it gradually increases inr volume it purposes therein mentioned.
