MEMPHIS, June 4

For the past ten days disease, pro-
nounced by physicians cholera morbus or
malarial fever, has prevailed here, but no
alarm was felt until yesterday, when
physicians generally agreed that it was
cholera; some chasing it as sporadic and
others Asiatic. Thus far its ravages
have chiefly been confined to negroes
and the laboring classes, and in the
absence of an organized board of health
it is difficult to estimate the number who
have died. The doctors say that the
disease, if promptly attended, yields
readily to treatment. Among the latest
victims was George Moore, of the Mem
phis and Louisville Transfer Company,
who died last night. Reports from the
river towns below here say the disease
prevails there also. There is but little
excitement here with regard to it.
Jack Rodley, engineer on the Missis-
sippi and Tennessee Railroad, was MUIR
dered at fernando, Mississippi, yester
day, by J. G. Otter, roadmaster, who was
captured and jailed.
New YORK, June A.
General Van Buren, has written an
other letter, in which he says that more
indeiensible outrage than the whole
treatment Of himself and associate Com
missioners by the press of this country
he cannot conceive of. The contracts
for covering the court yards for an addi-
ton to the machinery hall, at Vienna
said by correspondent to have beer
paid to the Commissioners having
charge of the job, were awarded by Nc
Erath, who sits in Judgment on his
former associates. He says that all the
charges made are baseless falsifcations
and that neither Minister Jay nor hi
man Hall can wrest from him with impu
nifty the spotless reputation of life.
The defense Of young Walworth, who
shot his father yesterday, will be insani

it was not marked by any display of ex
traordinary emotion. Charles O'Con
nor, the distinguished advocate, who, il
is understood, will be retained for tn,
defence, had an interview with the pris
oner to-day. Is -
