appeal was made to the country for aid
To the Charitable, through the Mayors d
tho cities in tie United States:
The yellow fever Is increasing daily,
sickness and death bewail upon every
side, and business is suspended. For the
sake Of suffering humanity send moneyed
relief at once to our City Treasurer. All
Of our charitable institutions are exhaust.
cd, and private charity itself is almost ex.
hausted. Memphis has always promptly
responded to the calls Of the ldistressed
| In other cities, she asks their assistance In
return 10 relieve her dire distress. The
occasion Is so ieplorable, that she appeals
without hesitation, but laments the neces-
sity. Money Is what We need, to pay our
nurses, to buy food, to bury the dead, and
10 shelter the orphans and helpless. Di.

TO The Editor u Tie Cl.feaao tribune:
SIN: The letter Of Mr. Lewis II. Davis in to-
days issuo Of I'HE TRIBUNE has my attention.
The suggestions contained In that letter. with
notifications, are oxcolleut. The principal
change in hia plan would suggest would he to
sell thai part OF tho Lake-front south of Har-
risou street to tho Railway Companies north OF
Harrison street, Oh for as Jackson street, re-
aervo for the Court-IIouae and other public
buildings; the remainder Of the property north
Of Jackson streot might be lspoHed of in lots,
aud sold to private individuals, tn the same man.
ner us Mr.. Davis suggests that the prcaout
Courthouse Hquare DO sold.
The Lako-front is unqu0ationably the most
available place the city can now command for
Court-House purposes. One OF the most
serious objections to tho location Of tho old
Court-HouAe WIS tho noise and confusion
calsed by the travel upon the streets. This was
NO great a. to seriously disturb the business Of
the Courts.
Az the question of solling portion OF tue
I.uhe-front to the Railway Companies is nov
bong discussed, beg to suggest II it ii not time
to consider tho pr0lrietY Ut permitting tic
whole Lake-frout to bo obBtructed by railway
Trucks. Wo arc not building city for tho prea-
cut, hut for the future, and wo oil expect that
the tiuo will come when largo docks will line the
Laae-front, aud should think it desirable to
lave FREQ accoHs to them from tt.e central por-
tion Of tho city, without having the rights Of
Railway Companies or their tracks to hinder
free passage to alloh ttooka. OBSERVER,
