KHASCISCO, A rovinci commissioner for the New York Herald interviewed Garfield at Cleveland last week, and got over two columns of uncommonly meaty matter from him. The General said, as to the campaign in Ohio: "The Republicans speak with great confidence, We cer tainly ought to win. I think we shall win, and the Democratic defeat may be overwhelming. Whatever anxiety I might have in this connection would grow out of changes which are constantly going on in the population of the State." The General drew a dia gram illustrating the influx and out flow of peoples in this State, showing that the State has received 750,-000 of its white population from the East, and has sent to the West 770,000 j it has received 25, 000 from, and sent 20,000 to the South The larger number who go West from Ohio are Republicans. Ohio, therefore, JANNEY, M. D., is constantly losing more Eepublicans than she gams of Democrats, bhe has been colonizing Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa with Eepublicans for years. The mining and manufacturing interests arc constantly attracting voters from the East. Excepting the Welsh and a por tion of the Germans, the largest num bcr of those who come to enter into these industries will vote at first with the Democrats. So that, aside from the present attitude of parties and the inv mediate issues between them, here is wave of population which tends to in crease the Democratic strength. Against this J constant increase of Democratic votes we oppose nothing but that attrition of individuals and communities which is always working in favor of the Republican cause. The General next reviewed the Greeley movement, and claimed that many Abolition and Greenback Repub licans were carried into the Liberal ranks by Greeley, and were afterward ashamed to return to the Republicans, Some went clear over to the Democrats others stopped with the Greenback party as a sort of halfway house. These last, he expects to find themselves driven back into their proper place the Republican ranks, by the vicious legislation and bad faith of the Dem ocrats, and their revival of State Rights and other past issues of the most disturbing character. The conversation turned upon Grant and third term, and was of some in terest, but details nothing that has not been known to Grant's friends for at least three years past. Senator Beck says "We maintain down there South that we can carry on elections without troops, without marshals, and without any of the paraphernalia the radicals want to impose upon us." Doubtless the Senator is right. Give them plenty of shotguns, with a supply of silver plate for premiums, and we do not doubt that the South and the Democratic party will be able to hold things level, provided the bayonets and marshals are kept from interfering. What the South requires is the free and full right to protect the ballot by shooting down every man that won't vote the Democratic ticket. This Ucncral Manager. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.

Spread of the Disease in the Smaller Towns Reported. The New York Herald caught Sena tor Beck, of Kentucky, on the fly last week, and squeezed an interview out of him at the New York Hotel. Senator Beck was much disturbed by the Yazoo outrage. He does not, like the Uolum- bus Democrat, defend the murderers of Diion, and hold them to be "justified," nor does he look upon the murder of Dixon as a 'Must retribution." On the contrary, he endeavtrs to shirk any re sponsibility on behalf of the Democratic party, or the Southern section, for the murder. He complains bitterly of the disposition in the North to hold the South respon sible for political murders, and says "it is not fair to blame the whole sec tion for the crime of nn individual." He says he was first led to this reflec tion while on the Ku-Klux committee, by discovering that Ku-Klux outrages had actually been committed in the South, but that the whole section ought not to be held responsible. Now, Sena tor, right there is where the weak placo in your logic makes itself visible and felt. The North does not blame the whole Southern Bection for the crime of the individual ; it "blames the South because it does not punish or even attempt to punish the crime of the .... ,' . , ., , is calculated to promote harmony and a political one against the suppressed , ., . , . , race or party.

We blame that section because it not only neglects and refuses to punish Barksdale for the murder, but applauds and upholds him, in public meetings, by resolutions of endorsement and thanks. Wo hold that the Courts and people of that section, both by their action and their non-action in this mat ter, make themselves accessories to these crimes, and just as much responsible tricts.

Hood, who died at New Orleans buturdny Inst, was one of the most distinguished soldiers who fought on the Confederate side during the late sectional conflict. Ho was born in Kentucky about the year 1830, and cradu- oted at West Point in 1853 and did (rood service in the Federal army until April 10, 1801, when he resinned his commis sion to join the Confederate army. Although a young man he soon rose to the rank of Major General. He took part in the Cluckauominy campaign and subsc quently fought at the second battle of BreakiUK Quarantine. Galveston. Aue. 30. ThiB afternoon a train prepared left for Houston to teBt whether that city would enlorce its quarantine in disobedience to the Governor's proclamation, ordering it removed With the train went a United StateB Mar shal, forty deputies, the United States Commissioner and District Attorney, it being the intention of these officers to ar rest all parties attempting to stop ine train, and try them for interfering with United States mails. The train was stopped at the county line by the Houston nealtn vjmcers, wno were prompuy ar rested, as were the Health Officers at Websteiville. Both were released bond. The train proceeded. Houston. Aue. 31. When the train arrived at the city limits it was halted by the whole police force of Houston The United States Marshals having dep utized about one hundred personson the train, they arrested the police. On com ing into the city the United states officers were themselves arrestee; Dy me ciiy authorities and token into custody. At 9 to. m. they were brought before Mayor Burk, in the office of the Chief of Police. The Chief announced that each was reauired to give a bond of $50 for appearance at the city court Monday to answer the charge of violating the quarantine law. United States District Attorney Homan said he and his party acted under the authority of the United States Government and by orders from Governor Roberts, of Texas. He showed dispatches from the Governor to the conductor telling him to take the train through at all hazards. The prisoners refused to give bail, Homan announcing they would immediately apply to Judge Mastcrson for a writ of habeas corpus. Great indignation is felt here against the United States officials fer interfering. The passengers were released and allowed to proceed. The train men and United States officers alone were held, and are endeavoring to get a hearing before the District Judge to-night. At New Orleans). New Orleans, Aug. 31.

One of the other two cases, the genuine ness of which after examination was doubted by very high medical authority, ived on the outskirts ol the city in close proximitv to the swamps. The other was an imported case irom Morgan vuy, After referring to the various sanitary measures adopted by the Board of Health. Sanitary Auxiliary Association and the relief auordeu by the national Board, the report concludes: "Having reached September under these favorable circumstances, it is not unreasonable to expect that cool winds and dry weather proper to this month will continue to us our present excellent health, and ere long banish the apprehensions only left by distant communities."

The statue represents Custer dismounting, with a sword in his right hand and a pistol in his left. The figure has a slightly forward inclination, as if about to advance; the long hair is streaming behind, and the whole attitude denotes a boldness and fearlessness which well represent the characteristics of the man, and which derives additional spirit from the excellently well portrayed expression of the countenance. There is but one change that could, add to the effectiveness of the picture as it is intended to be understood, and that would be to have attired the hgure in a buckskin hunting shirt and wide-brimmed hat in which Caster always appeared on the plains. The pedestal, as stated, is of granite, having upon each of its four sides bronze medallions of uniform size, twenty by thirty-two feet, upon that in front Custer is represented leading his men through the mountains on that last expedition; those on each side are pic tures ol Indian weapons, pipes, etc., with an immense Buffalo head as a central fig ure.

In his conception and treatment of this subiect, MacfJonald has made a bold in novation in the art as practiced to-day, He has revived the ruling force of the tireek ideal, created a sout m the clay, and typified the man in a supreme mo ment of actiour-just as he supposes Custer made his desperate and final struggle for ale, ere being Deaten down in a hand-to, hand fight in the awful tragedy at Little Uig Horn, u is indeed a supremeclimax, in which the ruling forces of the daring soldier's nature are vividly expressed in every lineament, and the heroic soul stands revealed. A gaze upon thiB noble art work is sufficient to impress the truth of the situation upon you, for every line and muscle speaks most eloquently in action that requires no words to express its grandeur. The likeness is positive, the expression faithful and inspired, the posture natural and dramatic, every contour aiding the central idea. As a whole it must rank as MacDonald's chef d'eeuvre, for it is a grand conception, bold in massiveness and originality, in which the skeleton of law is concealed by the free movement of life; it 1b a work that does credit to the progressive spirit of American art.

TO THE rl ni.K': THE PRESENT DISAGREMENT IN the School Board resolves itself into just one question, viz: ma Bection oa ot the Ohio School Law deprive our Board of .tspower to reconsider the motion Dy which they adopted Harper's Geography? If it ('(, Harper's Geography is the regularly adopted text book lor the next three years, unless superceded uy a three-fourths vote of the Board. If it did not, then Cornell's Geography is the text book and the only text book on the subject that bus any right to be taught in our schools until it is superceded by it majority vote. Section 'oi u. i., vol. 7U, page iiow, con tains the following: "Each Board of Edu cation shall determine the studies to be pursued und the text hooks to be used in the schools under their control, and no text book shall be changed within three years after its adoption, without the consent of threc-Fourtha of the members of the Board of Education, given at a regular meeting." . . inttie aoscuceoi any constitutional, statutory or special rule prohibiting it, all legislative and other deliberative assem blies ot a permanent character, have an un questionable right to reconsider any or all Minions they may pass, in tue absence 0: any preventing special rale, the motion to reconsider only reciutrcs a ruaiority ot the vote for its passage, even though the vote reconsidered rcquireu a greater number. in the auscnoe ot a special governing rule, the motion to reconsider may be made at anyjtime, by anymcniber,precisely like any other unlimited motion and subject to no oilier rules, these arc the teachings ot dishing in his "Practice of Leoi.si.a- TIVE Assembliks," ill sections 1,204, 1,265, i,z(ii), 1,21 and i,2is. The manual of the Board of Education contains no special rules upon the subiect of reconsideration. It is silent upon the subject. The Board, then, was governed and is governed by the ordinary rules of common parliamentary hiw,and clearly had the right to make and pass the motion to reconsider the vote adopting Harper's "eries of Geographies at the time it did and iu the manner it did. This is so, bo far as parliamentary practice is concerned. There is no constitutional provision that deprives the Board of such power as they exercised 011 last Tuesday evening. It only remains to examine section 52 above quoted to see whether if deprives the Board of the right it claims the power to exercise. In construing a statute we must seek the legislative intent. In seeking this intent we must look at the evil intended to lie provided against, as well as the act containing the provision. Aa a matter of fact we all know that that nart of section 62 that prevents the changing of a text book once in use. tor threelvears alter its adop tion, except by a three-fourths vote, was intended to protect the patrons of our schools irom being put under the necessi ty of purchasing new books as frequently as they were at the time compelled to do. The competition of publishing houses led 1.A... Jill .I.- 1-...1 :.i. .i.7 i it iiicui iu uii ine iiuiu nun iiieii agents, uu working by every means in their power to secure the adoption of their books. To the representations of these agents, to the inducements held out by the rival pubtish- ers, Boards of Education by far too fre quently yielded, hooks were changed without a mst consiuerauon oi the inter ests of the people. The patrons of the schools would everv once in a while find that they had on hand books no longer used in their schools, thus involving them in a needless expense. To remedy this evil they repeatedly petitioned the Legislature tor relief. Publishers and book agents regarded the enactment as a blow to their business, and the people were sat isfied with the reliet granted mem. ine intent of the "ACT" was to protect the pa trons of the public schools from the loss arising from the too frequent change of text books. That this is the case no one who is familiar with the history of our schools and with the proceedings'of book agents will flenv. The motion, then, of the Board on last Tuesday to reconsider the adoption of Harper's Geographies, instead of con flicting with lie intention of the enactment in question, simply tended to effectuate that intention, fnstcad of involving lue people, tue patrons 01 our scnoois, in loss; instead of rendering it necessary for them to throw away ns worthless the books in the. nnnds ot the pupils, it saves them from the expense 01 the chaugc and car ries into effect the d?sign of the Legislature, But if the stitteof tbceuse was different, if the pupils had supplied themselves with Harper s oooks, 11 they had uegitn zonse them, then it would be n case upon which the section in question could operate. By the passage of the motion to reconsider no one intended to tie protected py the stat ute is lutureii 111 lite least. Harper bookB hod not passed into use, and we fail to sec bow there could bo onv change ef fected by the motion to reconsider, as is claimed oy the reputable attorneys retain ed by Mr. Derby. The particular motion to reconsider Haul adoption not being tor- bidden by the Constitution, nor by parlia mentary law, nov by any statute, but. on the contrary, authorized by the legislative intent ot section 02, was penectlv compe tent to be passed by the Board. They not only did not transcend their power, but confined themselves strictly within thci legal rights, and carried into effect the in tention of the law upon which the agoiiU of Harper Brothers rely. If these positions are sound, and we think no one except a retained attorney dispute them, tho entire agitation of th geography oucstion, as at present carric on, is wholly uncalled for. Cornell's Geography is the text book until regularly su pcrseded, and the Superintendent will fail to exercise his duty as an officer of the Board 11 he reluses (0 order Cornell's to be used at once. 1J.
