THE SITUATION.

Every indication points to an early
abatement OF the yellow fever. Last
night there was a genuine freeze, and
the air is greatly purified, aud the germs
of the disease doubtless nearly all de-
stroyed. There is little or no liability
in the open air, even for returned alb
sentees, and with proper pains to vcnti-
late and fumigate and disinlect houses
not occupied recently, there is perhaps
no danger TO those:rcturniug to stay.
Absentees, however, should wait until
they hear from the Board OF Health.
The thunder storm of Sunday seems to
have entirely changed the condition of
the air; the weather is cool and cxhili-
rating Men walk about the streets with
more elastic step aud cheerful faces than
we have seen in six weeks. The sight o.
ice this morning, although not a quarter
of an inch thick and necessity for over
coats and ilannels has wrought won
drous change in the faces OF meH.
The thermometer at this office did not
rise above 800 f. until nearly ten clock,
and at one o'clock had not passed $50.
This is quite a change since ten o'clock
last Sunday morning, when the same
thermometer indicated just G4'. To.
night there will be another freeze; per-
haps killing frost No new cases were
heard Of up to one clock, and patients
are all doing we'll Our report to-day
shows total Of %; yellow fever, Is;
a slight but not startling increase over
yesterday. A few of these came from
the City Hospital, ami should have
been reported sooner The mortuary
list will hardly rise above the teens
again, and in a week or ten days we hope
to discontinue reports altogether, and
address our energies to something more
cheerful. The time has come, We be-
lievt, to notify the world that Memphis
can get along without further coRtrlbu-
tions.

several hundred wards from the harbor is the prison
