December 6, 1878. Klsciyhere Thk 'lx prints from its Bal timore namesake some very sensible re marks on the subject of Mr. Hayes' sani , tary suggestions. It will le seen that the acting 1'resklcnt is rebuked for going too fast rj ti fact," -f travelling faster than medical Kcience. Mr. Hayes ought to be excused. Having lost his reckonings and with them his centripetal force, he flies off recklessly in lo all sorts of wild notions. It would seem that' he knows 110 more about yellow fever 'than he does of Southern bull dozing. Mr. Have.-? would do better to stick to the agricultural fairs. 'VKRVINOKLAW. In vexed matters those who make -cob-cessions h ive a right to make claims. The South. 'Tii' people have conceded everything necessary to national harmony. They now Claim .'that, the North .must unite with them in the removal of the Federal hand from over our home concerns. The feeling m gent ial iii this section that the time has "-come when all Federal surveillance in elections -should cease. To this end let the Supervisor law" be repealed at once by Congress. Tin; J Jlaincs and Chandlers may howi, but ih -y go not happily represent the solid .-eu'iment of the country. The close tutelage of'tii .S ut!i bv the Federal Gov c.Miment serves' only to keep the country in a slate of constant unrest. The world now knows the falsity of" charges of inti- uiidatioii brought against .Southern whites. If acts of injustice arc eoiniriittcd in any .Mate, North or, South, they are best reni ediab'e by t'.ie .'.ate laws and the process of the State Courts. The time is at hand for ti trial of whether this is a strong gov ernment in the inWests of party or a gov ernment by the i pie for the people. We' say to Congress, repeal the Super visor 1 iw, a-id give us free elections. The case 11 gainst Mrs. W. C.

"Wagner's "Siegfried'' has been very successful at the Imperial Opera House in Vienna. The performance lasted over five hours, despite several cuts in the score. The chief characters were sustained by Mme. Materna, TI err Jager, Ilerr Beck and, llerreu Schmidt and Scaria. The death of Mrs. Tait, wife -of the Archbishop of Canterbury, has doubtless, been unexpected, says the IJWW, us it is less than a mouth since her daughter, Edith, was married to the Rev. Randall T. Davidson, domestic chaplain to the Archbishop. The marriage was private, for the household was in mourning for the recent death of the Rev. Craufur Tait, his Grace's sou. The limrautlue Question. ..''.. Lalllmore Sun. The Public Health Association, in its late Richmond session, was wise enough to choose an eutirely negative action in spite of the manifest prejudice with which matny members came up to it in favor &f declaring yellow fever to be a purely ex odic disease, and that a uuiform national quarantine system was thereby made nec essary. The association declared that, as tho data submitted to it were neither suf .Jiciedt nor well arranged, and as the cora "missioners' reports were not complete or exhaustive, it was not expedient for it t pronounce either as to the origin of the' fever or the means to prevent it. In his message to Congress the President does not appear to have imitated the wise con 't servatisra of. the deliberating doctors and health officers. He assumes, what is by no means proved,-that-there is "a very general public, sentiment in .favor o"na " tional sanitary administration." There is no doubt a general public feeling that if. epidemics can be prevented, it should be done at Whatever cost, but the public mind is mo more made np than the minds of the; doctors at Richmond were made up in re gard to the means to be employed to this end, or the practicability or efficacy of a. national sanitary administration in 'the premises. The " national administration which President Hayes recommends is to " hold a sort of advisory relation to the State and municipal health officers, but if an emergency arises it is te step in and have "power Is deal with whatever endangers the public health and which the municipal and State authorities are unable to regu late." This is a power of a very ambiguous sort, and, if strained, might be made to reach a great way. Several bills on the subject of the President's recommendations have already been introduced in Congress, and it is to be . hoped that that body will deliberate lonr and carefully considers matter of such great importance. A good many considerations will necessarily enter into the question, amongst which those f power in the first place, : and secondly of IRiv.JS expediency, are the most prominent. IToa. T. R. Tucker read a paper before the Pub lic Health Association, in which he harply laid down his view of the respective juris dictions in the premises. Quarantine, he said, was strictly matter for the States and municipalities to regalate a domestic concern, but Congress could interfere in a supplementary way, under the power grant ed it in the constitution "to regulate com merce with foreign nations and omong-the several State?." " If an interior city should quarantine so as to obstruct the com merce between the States it would be the undoubted right apd duty of Congress to interfere. Bat the isolations and detail of quarantine are State or municipal con cerns, and should be kept so, and the dele gation of ail such authority to' a federal bureau is a proposition totally inadmissi ble, and which should not be entertained for an instant. The question of expediency should also be as carefully weighed by Coagress as that of jurisdiction. An ex clusively government mechinery will not cnly be very expensive and very unwieldy; jv win lax many 'conimmnitieg where epi demics never come for .he benefit of a few which are constantly exposed to them. It will largely increase the number of office holders of exclusively federal appointment, and will correspondingly reduce the rela tive importance of the State and municipal governments. The advocates of a national bureau declare that "the ouestion of ex pense will hardly lie permitted to stand ifi : the way of establrehingu system calculated ; to save a large section of the country from J the terrible devastation by which it has j been annually afflicted for many year?.'' This is a very convenient view of the bene- ficiaries of such legislation as is proposed. . but it will scarcely commend itself so favor- '. ably to those upon whom the burden of ! the costs are likely to fall without m'anv ! of the equivalent benefits. And, in fact. ' Uongress na no right to consider the question of a quarantine against yellow fever at all until it has first been settled that the fever is of exotic origin, unless it is willing to assume- the additional federal; duty of looking after the cleansing of streets, the sewage, and all the sunitary' i arrangements f Southern cities and towns. I It - yellow fever be indigenous as well as j imported, and Congress assumes to pre- ; vent it, irrespective of local assistance, it must be prepared to assume the duties and the expenses , of local, health" boards, 'as well as those of guarding ports against the intrusion of plagues from foreign pest cen tres. These are considerations which can not be left out of sight in discussing this important question, and, while, fully ad mitting that Congress ought to do some thing, we trust that there will be no hasty action, nor anything attempted' which, un der cover of sentimejit sympathy, will serve the ends of office-seekers and designing politicians. ' A Retaliatory Tariff 011 olloi; j!oo1n". SqpanndhXiu. Our dispatches pf a few days pat in formed us that a vigorous movement was on foot in England to place a .retaliatory tariff on American cotton goods imported into that country, and we were again in formed yesterday that Russia was seriously considering a similar move. The great de pression ot-trade across the water is at tributed to the high, protective tariff which is placed on foreign manufactures in this country, and now the experiment will prob ably be attempted to do away with this effect as far as may be by a retaliatory tariff which will artificially stimulate such' manufactures by shutting out our goods from the markets of the countries so re taliating., . We. have always opposed a tariff for pro tection mainly on the grounds that it is but proper that every man should be per mitted to purchase the. necessaries of life wherever he can do so to his own advan tage"; because the high wages, which are the result of such protection, are more arti ficial than reaJ, inasmuch as they arc offset by the high prices also always the result thereof, and. because protection is of the nature of class legislation and monopoly two things directly at variance with our republican ideas. Since, however, the country has a high protective tariff fastened upon it, if for eign nations do see fit to retaliate upon us, and shut out our manufactures from their markets, we believe that such a course as far as cctton goods -are concerned, will benefit the South. ' V In the first place, it will not be likely to injure the price of our raw cotton. Uoth t England and Russia absolutely need cot ton goods, and they must look largely to the United . States for the material for their manufacture. Hence it is not likely that they will place a duty on raw cotton, since to do so they would be directly in jurious to themselves. But even should they do this, they would having no other source of supply of the superior grades of cotton still nave to purchase largely in this country, ami the Southern "planter would not thereby be. damaged. In the next place, since the effect of their retaliatory tariff would le, as we have stated, to shut off our manufactures from their markets, our own factories would have to rely upon the domestic market. Now, this being the case, it is quite evident that the New England mills cannot compete with those of the South, for the latter will be able to fully supply the limited market, and at a mneh lower figure than ca.n the former. They will eu- i'oy every advantage which must arise from taring the raw material growing right at their doors, and, under such circumstances, it would not take them long to overcome all the advantages which the New Eng land mills now enjoy in the way of im proved machinery, etc. In other words, the New England mills can only derive a pro fit by having the markets of the .world thrown open, to them, coupled with the ability, given them by protection, to con trol such markets at their own pleasure. If compelled to seek a market at home, which can readily be supplied by the products of Southern factories, they will be unable to compete with the mills of this section, lo cated right where the staple is grown. We still believe that . free trade, or at least a tariff for revenue only, would be the best policy for his government to pursue. Then we would have a healthy market for our own peculiar productions ; could purchase those of other countries at reasonable rates, and the whole mass ef our people would not have to pay tribute to a few favored protected classes. If we cannot have that, a retaliatory tariff on American cotton goods would, for the reason? above given, be the next best thing for the South. It would not be at all sur prising, however, in case our foreign friends adopt such a policy, to see New England among the foremost champions for free trade. . ? : American Art Abroad. Philadelphia Timet. ' ' The small number of awards made by the art jury at Paris to American painters, es pecially when contrasted with the unques tioned triumph of our mechanics and in ventors, has given rise to much discussion, some of which is quite wide of the mark. The New York Herald, for example, re- marks that "we oueht to be ashamed of ourselves" to think that we stand below all Other civilized coiatries except Itenmark and reer-e in the -number of awards, and i u laKes occasion, to pucn 1010 me coram 11- 1 tee who had charge of the selection for f sending so weak a display of pictures. Tlie j Herald,, however, destroys the force of these remarks when it goes on to say that . while the French critics talked graciously of the signs of promise which our j art displayed..; and praised chief Iv the few really American genre . picture in the exhibition, the jury did not m?dal these, but "jrave well-deserved eond and third medal and an honeraWe f mention to a canvas of archeotogical genre, ; a marine and a foreign genre picture paint- ; ed abroad by Americans, and an honorable j mention to onelaiidcae executed in tins ; country in a decidedly foreign manner. " j Now if this result reflects upon anybody it i is not upon the painter? of American land- ! scape and genre, who were well represented i and whose works' commanded the praise of! the most respected critics, bnt only upon the jurors, who were mostly Continental ; iaiuters. and who recoguized no art out side the schools of Paris,' Antwerp and ; Munich. The truthful statement of the j roattor is that no awards at all were made j to American painters. In every marble Mock a.fctatueleej.

The State Executive Committee congratu lates the Democratic-Conservative party of North Carolina upon the result of the recent Congressional elections at the North. These elections clearly indicate three things which are of consequence to us : First, that the peo ple of this country are dissatisfied with the Republican party and are unwilling for the Republican leaders to afflict us longer with their ruinous measures and fraudulent prac t:ces. Second, that the Nationals do not meet with popular favor, and, as a separate organi at ion, have utterly failed to impress them selves upon the country; and lastly, that the star of the Democratic party is still in the ascendant, and the people are looking to that party as the only one capable of restoring prosperity to the country, and able to admin ister the government on those Constitutional and just principles, which are essential alike to the happiness of our citizens and to the perpetuity of our institutions. Thus in the elections held in .eight States the Republicans have lost twelve members of Congress; the Nationals have elected four; and the Demo crats have elected twenty-three, and have gained seven. These facts demonstrate that the people in, tend to invest the Democratic party with the full control of the National Government. The Senate of the next Congress will be Democratic by a considerably majority, and it i3 only necessary for the Democrats of the South to remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or ganization, and our triumph will be complete. It is for us to determine whether the banner on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home Rule and Financial Reform, shall trail in the dust, or shall be borne on to victory. Every consideration of interest, 01 policy and of patriotism theu urges us to prepare imtnesiately for . the approaching jiolitical struggle. Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without preparation, it will be impossible to achieve success. Let us i.ot by our apathy, our luke warm ness and indiff erence postpone the accession to poAver ol that party which alone ras been able to check Republican corruption and to arrest the progress of cer government tow ards a centralized despotism. Let us be steadfast in our devotion to prin ciple, true to our organization and endeavor by every means to discountenance those inde pendents and disorganizes who oppose our worfhy standard-bearers freely and fairly chosen by the Democratic party in Convention assembled. In particular do we desire to repeat what we have, so often urged the necessity of thorough local organization. It is the towu j sh'"p committees who are charged with the most important of all party duties. To them is committed the duty of supervising the election, and of devising means to bring out I every Democratic voter to the polls, f hey I ought to meet frequently and advise and take counsel together how best to promote the for ! tunes of that party, ou whose success depend? I so largely the prosperity of themselves and of I their posterity. In every township, in every 1 neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a committee of active, efficient, and prudent paity men, who will undertake to seethat every Democrat in the precinct comes to the polls and casts his ballot for our nomlneee. We therefore urge this upon the township committees; and if in any township it is ne glected, we appeal to oar Democratic friends there to send their conveyances for all their neighbors who otherw ise might not attend the polls. Let it be clearly understood in every locali- ty that lie who fails to vote lor our ominee, : gives half a vote to the Republican larty, and I that the Conservative who casts his vote for j an independent is taking the surest means to i break up and destroy the only party which : can give relief to our afflicted country. We j warn our fellow-citizens that great euus can j not be accomplished except at the cost of some ; inconvenience, and olten through the sacrifice j of our personal preferences ; and we appeal to every man who has thfe good of the people ; at heart to give a portion of one day to his country, and subordinating his individual j preferences, east his ballot for the nominee of tne conservative part. f k or the Committee : S.

There is steady improvement. (New Yokk -World.) Deserves the support of all Southern waders, j (New York Si n.) We wish success to this interesting enter- i. prise (Wei. don News.) It is a magazine of merit and we wish it much success. (Chronicle and Constitutionalist.) j It richly deserves the cordial support of all i our people. (Bim.iCAL Recorder.) It is printed ih large, clear type and is a ! credit to the State. j (Greensboro Patriot.) j It is ably edited, handsomely printed, and : gives promise of being a very, very interesting , publication. (Elizabeth City Economist.) ; Altogether creditable. Its contributors are ' first-class aud its mechanical and typographical execution excellent. (HiLLSKOuo Recorder.) ..j . Its list of contributors is an an able one and if sustained, will ensure the permanent success of the enterprise. (Wilmington Post.) It is a ffrst-class literay magazine, and one that the people of this city should be proud of and patronize, as well as the people of the whole state. (Raleigh Observer.) j It is needless to say we wish it success, aud ! that we look forward with pride, as well as j pleasure, to the r suit of the entfrpie as one ! that will reflect honor upon the State. - :. (Oxford Torchlight.) i The typographical execution of the magazine j is very fine, and in point of appearance, cow- ; tents, and indeed in all respects it is a publi- cation which must commend itself to the public. (Graham Gleaner.) , It gives promise of being eminently worthy of public patronage. No commendation of ours would equal a simple statement of the table of its contents, w ith the names of the contributors, which we give as an evidence of of the worth of the periodical. (Farmer and Mechanic.) J Here we have a rich bill of fare from South- j em writers, catered by a Southern lady aDd j printed by Southern printers, on Southern : paper. Ye who bewail the lack of Southern literature, and home-fostered talent, shall j this enterprise Eve, and expand? j (Wilson Advance.) The magazine is well gotten. up. The sub ject matter is varied aud entertaining, while its typographical appear, nee is a' model of neatness, and reflect the highest credit upon the exquisite taste and excellent judgment that suggested and directed its consummation. (Norfolk Virginian.) This publication appeals to the people of the South for a staple support. It richly merits it aud we feel w ill receive it. We know of no Southern literary venture that haa exhibited so much merit, united with an evidence of management that must win for it a position in the ranks of magazine literature and hold it. (Petersburg Index fc Appeal.) The Socth-Atlanj ic has this merit over any of its predecessors in the same arena, that its contents are solid, though not heavy, ami that no room appears to have been intended in J it for productions of a trashy and fnveloua character. While it continues to adhere to this rule, it will have every claim on Southern and general support, and we sincerely trust it will receive it. (Danville News.) This is a most excellent publication a mag azine of high character, an honor to the State, and a credit to the whole South. All its pages are filled with articles of superior excellence and interest. It has for its contributors some of the best known authors in the South, is ably edited and neatly printed. This splendid monthly deserves a liberal patronage as a first class southern enterprise. (Raleigh News.) Peculiarly Southern in its character, and J numbering among its contributors some of the I best and most vigorous writers in the country, it bears upon its face the stamp of originality and force. The Interest of its serial Btories has never ceased t while the shorter, casual articles have been marked by a vigor peculiarly their own. All topics are discussed, and thus the world's progress Is closely -followed; "The magazine has from its inception been received with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor have its merits failed to receive iust encomiums from persons of ability everywhere. tf The News and Courier, .charLkstox s: r: Dally Fdltlon by. mail, oie jear$rO; nix mootbii, $.5 : thHre month, 3, payable in ad-' vance.
