fewer ~~ ‘as will be an honor to him and to the country he so ably defended; but we object to this sacred duty being made the occasion for a job on the part of any parties in the national Necessity of an Early and Effective Quarantive—Epidemic Germs of Choleralc aud Other Contagia. Without marring the joyous anticipations of the spring, its arrival admonishes us to guard our thresholds from the epidemic dangers of which it is often the precursor. When the froata of the past winter set in last November they came just in time to avert the pestilence that had been transported across the Atlantic and was then koocking at our doors. The vigilance of the authorities prevailed to arrest {ts march and cut it off at the moment of its ingress on our shores. But it is kaown that on the other side of the water the great Asiatic disease, which bas heretofore defied the sclonce and skill of the physiciaa, has held its own, only encamped ia its winter quariers aud awaiung a more genial season for an early and sweeping campaign, In our natural and just protests against the fuefficieucy of sanitary precauiions we are apt to ignore the many and cheering triumphs that science bas made over the deadliest of diseases, The statement has often beea made by abie statisiicians and confirmed by the records that the London of the seveateenth century and the London of the nineteenth century differ in salubri'y far more then Lon- don in the cholera aad Loadon in the healthiest season, Modern siatisties show that the mortality of that metropolis has been “reduced since the reign of the Stuarts and the begioning of the last century from one in every twenty to less than one in forty, and that this reduction {s generally or proportioa- ally true for the larger towns of England. The saving of human life by vacoination alone has entered as a large and signifleant figure in the resulta due to the medical progress of the age; and allsuch facts should encourage us to hope for the still greater reduction of the death rates of the whole world. They should also stimulate the authorities now, in precau- fionary preparations against the threatened ‘Epidemics of the year, to begin ‘with an early | and searching and stern quarantine and erect it as an iron wall around our seaboard cities. The study of epidemios has rapidly pro- gressed in America. The great subject of the origin of malaria and its aitendant poisons has very recently been ably developed by a distinguished American physicist, Mr. Daniel Vaughan, of Cincinnati. This gentleman's researches throw much light on the prolific weeds of epidemic, originating, as he shows, in the volatile oils of vegetation, which are rapidly developed. bythe. Bett of she yornal ‘Gnd summef sans. According to the views he now advances and so forcibly sustains it is in the warmest climates that these germs of disease are produced in the greatest abun- dance, and the air becomes most highly charged with organic vapors in marshy and moist localities; but the restless condition of the air prevents it from remaining over these districts long enough to be largely impreg- nated with the poisonous exhalations, and ‘Bhe trade winds serve to avert much of the insalubrity which heat and moisture are ever prompt to generate in tropical climates. This ‘reasoning would seem to lead us to the unavoidable ference . _fhat the Asiatic cholera—the ase which now threatens all Europe and Americu— ~ has ita birthplace in the valley of the Ganges, go rich in verdure and vezetation, and follows the priacipal water courses in all couatrles, because in these it finds its most abundant supplies of organic vapors, It is well known that the inuadations of the Euphrates River give to the city of Bussorah its worst pesti- Tenoes, and the streams which wash the green vales of the Elburz mountains sometimes tender Teheran almost uninhabitable. But the Nile, which in the lower part of its course runs a thousand miles without receiving a tributary and washes a rocky bed, has gotten rid of its volatile poisons received in Equa- torial Africa, and even in its highest floods scarcely impairs the health of Egypt. The theory of Mr. Vanghan must be regarded as a valuable attempt to solve the mystery of epidemics, because it can be put to the test of future chemical _ analysis, and may, therefore, be the dawning light of science on this dark subject. But, with- out presuming to determine its accuracy, it ds important to bear in mind that it is in the months of March and April that the Asiatic cholera breaks out in its stronghold, the great Gangetic valley. We may, therefore, at once begin to take the utmost precaution to protect ourseives from this terrific evil. It bas been said by some that if the whole of Hindostan could be quarantined the whole world would be secure from cholera; but this is far from likely or probable, and the most sagacious physicists do not hesitate to say that the Asiatic importation of cholera only quickens and Jovigorates the seeds of the pestilence already acaitered broadcast (if they are not indigenous) ‘over the entire globe, There is not a single day to be lost by our health authorities in throwing an impregnable sanitary cordon around this country, In the present instance it is a thousand times true that ‘‘an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,” The Approaching Elections in Spain. Our latest telegraphic advices from Madrid inform us that the Electoral Commiitee of the mioisterial party, after carefully canvassing the political field, have arrived at the conclusion that the approaching election will result in the choice of one hundred and fifty uoionists ‘and one Inmdred and seventy Sagasta pro- Gressists to the Congress, or lower branch of the Cortes. It is possible that these figures do more than fair justice to the prospects of the ministerialists, Looking, however, at the figures a8 they are presented to us, we feel justifiedin saying that, if correct, they indl- ‘cate a clear conservative majority—a majority farge enou;h to make the throne of Amadeus secure and to uphold the constitution of 1869.

The debate which occupied at the close of last year so much of the time of the Assembly on the International revealed the fact that the Zorilla section of the prozressists, while not abandoning their former principles or ignoring the obligations they came under at the reyolu- tion, were more than the Sagasta section-in sympathy with the International and its tenets. The Sagasta section, however, is the sironger, It is reasonable, we think, to con- clude that, if the untonists and the more con- servative progressists can agree to act together, Amadeus will be able to form a strong coalition Cabinet, and thus, for a time at least, make an end of the unhappy divisions which hinder Spain in the pathway of pros- perity. Itis well known that though large numbers of the Spanish people are honestly and sincerely attached to republican institutions, and though there are some devoted Carlists and Alphonsists, the lovers of order through- out the kingdom are most anxious to give Amadeus fair play. It is hard for the Church to become reconciled to the son of the man who has despoiled the Papacy of its tempo- ralities; but the Church begins to be of the opinion that It might be as well under Amadeus as under Alphonso or Carlos, and perhaps.a little better under Amadeus than under republican leaders whose infidel and Communist principles have been openly avowed, As we have said before, it is not impossible that the figures indicate the wish rather than the fact. The presumption, how- ever, is that the result of the elections will be an immediate gain to the throne, Personal Intelligence. Superintendent George W.

We make this departure from the ordinary meth. ods of party action from a deep conyiction that the organization to which we belong 13 under tue con- trol of those who wilt use it chiefly for personal pur- poses and obstruct a free expression of opinion upon | the important matters which the gentlemen whom you represent have laid beiore the people oi the United states, We beli¢ve that the time has come when the polit. Cal offences of the past should be pardoned; that all citizens should be protected in the enjoyment of tho Tights guaranteed to them by the constitution; that federal taxation shouid be imposed for revenue, and so adjusted as to make the burden upon the industry | of the country as light ag possibie; that a ree | form tn the civil service should ve made which will | relieve political action from the infuence of oficial | patronage; that the right of local self-goverament, the foundation of American freedom, should be re- asserted and the encroachments of federal power | checked; aud we aiso believe that at this time a special di Ly rer. upon the people to do away wit. ruption in ofice. oorhe exposures recently made in this State have brought to light evils which aye not contined to oue party nor toa single tocality, and disclose dangers more formidable thau any Witch tue republic has yet encountered, With the hope that the movement begnn in Mis. | sourl may spread through ali tue States and in- | fluence every poliitcal party we accept the tnvit: tion to meet in National mass conventionsat the | city of Cincinnatt on the first Weduesday of May next, and thal o all pret, oP ahd York ree WIth Us LO CO-Operate in our action, herp HENRY BR.
