GOLD CITIZEN" AGAIN.
To the Editor Of the Ledger,

To the Editor Of the Ledger
In my article in yesterdays LEDGER ]
argued the theory that II Is the fetid
atmosphere aud noxiOus vapors arising
from the pond just north Of Market
street that was the origin Of the malig-
nant fever in the First ward, aud is the
cause Of its continuance ever since this
pond was filled up with the water from
the old government cisteru, some FIVE or
six weeks ago. Notwithstanding this is
my candid opinion, still hope that my
friends, the owners Of the cotton press
and Of the Pamela Oil Works, will not
think that / designed to cast the least
blame or censure upon either Of them,
the former for emptying the cistern or
the latter for rebuilding the dam to re,
tain the water for their use. as | did not
intend to do so in the slightest degree,
and here disclaim any such idea. I'M
fortunately they we're the unwitting par
ties who, with good and innocent inten-
tons, have committed an act the result
Of which is sickness, distress and death
in the households Of hundreds Of their
neighbors.
When all the red tape in Memphis
and a few hundred yards more from
some other city is obtained and wound
up, perhaps reWound of aud wound
up again, we can then reasonably
expect that our wise Board Of
Health, and our equally wise city au-
thorities, will begin to think that it is
time to think for a week that it is time
that something might be done in the way
of investigating the causes of the origin
of the fever in North Memphis.
In the meantime, | would suggest that
a quorum Of the Board Of Health and a
half dozen Of our highest city officers
will visit the location referred to, make
preparations to stay week, take posses
sion of the four shanties in which the
first four deaths occurred, as alluded to
in my article of yesterday. They will
then be able to prove or disprove the
correctness Of my theory. If part Of
them would die, it would only be COM
mendable sacrifice for the public good
(heroic martyrs to medical science), and
will be highly appreciated by future gen.
erations, if not by their present migrate
ful constituents. And now if any other
citizen or physician or city officer can
advance a better and more plausible
theory than have, and sustain it by
facts and concurrent circumstances, /
shall rejoice to know it for the sake of
the afflicted and distressed, many Of
whom | number as my personal friends.
Poor " Happy Hollow" 1t doubtless
has many great moral and social sins to
answer for, but in the present case |
think it is much greater sufferer than
sinner. Let us do justice to all the low
est as we'll as the highest.
And still that dreadful stagnant pond
rem aims intact, glorying in its illimita-
BILE power to spread death and destruc-
ton, and none lin authority will have q
single spade used to drain it. 1t can be
drained in few hours; it would require
days to fill it up. M

THE MAYOR IN EARNEST.
Tho Right work Commsnssd-rAr
nuFnlnE Ia Happy M0Il0W.


We are gratihsd at being able TO state
that the Mayor, after a conference with
members Of the Council and with the
Board Of Health, decided this morning
TO accept the offer Of one hundred bar
rels Of coal tar from the Memphis Gas
Company, and TO begin burning It
throughout the infected districts fmme'
didtely. The necessary orders were
given to have the tar hauled TO the
places where it is most needed and set
on FIRE, and we doubt not that by the
hour this goes to press all Happy Hol-
low and adjacent neighborhoods will be
permeated with the fumes Of burning
tar. Such measures have had happy
effects in other cities, aud il is we'll
known that for several years after
our Nicholson pavement was laid.
and so much burning pitch used, we had
no epidemics in Memphis and compare
lively little sickness OF any kind. 1t is
to be hoped and believed that this step
aud others to follow, doubtless, will have
the effect to stay the progress Of the
dreaded disease, and to allay the over.
wrought fears Of our people caused by
its presence. Let us await the result
with confidence, and sustain the Mayor
aud Board Of Health in this prompt and
decisive action. The local causes Of
this sickness can be removed as nuts.
ances are abated. We have faith in the
efficacy of powerful disinfectants and
confidence that the city authorities viii
spare no pains or expense in the per-
Torrance of their serious and imperative
duty. The people look to them fer re-
lief, and will say amen to every prompt
effort that may be put forth.

RIVERS, WEATHER, MISCELLANEOUS.
A more rapid decline is noticed in the
river opposite this city as will be seen
by referring to the table above, but as
yet the boats 40 not report any material
change in the channel depth over the
crossings above or below. There is seven
and half feet to Cairo, two feet less
from there to St. Louis, three feet to the
lower rapids, and the same depth in the
Missouri. The Ohio has four and half
feet to Paducah, FIVE feet to Louisville,
and six inches more to Cincinnati.
White river has risen five inches
since last Saturday, and has four
feet to JaeksOnport. The Arkansas has
full twenty inches to Little Rock. During
the day the weather is warm, but the
nights are chilly and almost cold enough
for frest. Last night heavy fog settled
over the river, only to be cleared away
by the sun this morning.

Mr.. Fred Brennan, Of the LEDGER
staff, has been quite sick with chilla and
fever since Saturday.
Suburban residents are doing board
ing-house business the like whereof has
not besa known since 1867.
1t is proposed TO open the gas lamps
tonight without lighting, II the authori'
lies will agree to il. II is rational and
proper, and we hope no objection will
be urged.
A citizens meeting at the Greenlaw
Opera House is called for four and q
half o'clock this afternoon TO take meas
ures for the relief of suffering families.
We hope TO see a good attendance, and
the reorganization Of the Howard Asso'

The Second Circuit Court adjourned
yesterday and the First Circuit Court
to day--both until the second Monday
in November. 1t is not unlikely that
the Criminal Court will also adjourn
until the public mind is more quiet in
regard to the prevailing sickness.
Mr.. ]. II. Cullen, Deputy County
Court Clerk, died this forenoon at his
residence ON Promenade street. He
had been sick with the prevailing dis
ease only few days. He was always
recognized as one Of the most efficient
officers in the county, and universally
esteemed as a perfect gentleman in all
the relations of life.
Mr.. P. d. Boyle, Clerk Of the Second
Circuit Court, arrived at home this
morning from a summer trip to Europe.
He visited bis native dear old Ireland,
after an absence Of many years, aud
travelled nearly all over Ireland, England
and Scotland, and comes back in splen-
did health to receive the congratulations
of his many friends.
The next fashionable marital cere.
mony can be witnessed at st. Peter s
church one week from to-day. 1t is
hoped that by that time the prevail

so that the groom can be spared from
his present undertaking" and devote
himself entirely to the fair one that on
that day, Providence permitting, will
call him my dear husband. "
The article elsewhere on the treat
ment of yellow fever should do much
toward abatiug the sudden alarm of the
public which has existed for day OF
two. Our people, and perhaps our doc
tors, dread the disease because it comes
so rarely, and that they are not in the
habit of treating it. Let them study
this article carefully and keep COOL
Many of our citizens have betakeu
themselves and their families to the
country in anticipation that the yellow
fever will become an epidemic. Most
of the business men have stopped in the
neighborhood, and return every day and
attend to business as usual. Most OF
the trains going out from the city arc
filed with people who seem anxious to
go on that very train in particular.
Mrs. VIM. Hartford died very mysteri-
ously night before last at the corner Of
DeSoto and Vance streets. She had
been drinking for day or two previous
to her death, and is reported to have died
from the effects of the contents Of bot.
tie taken by her that was prescribed for
her husband. The jury verdict was, we
believe, death from natural causes. The
matter, however. will bear investigation
by the authorities.

Our mothers, who were the best and

pride in the possession Of rows Of tin
ware that glistened like polished mir

susceptible of polish, including the
brass knocker, was regularly frightened
up until it fairly glistened. With their
primitive materials, such as Bath brick,
emery, rotten stone, ETC., it was seri-
GUS labor, albeit one of love. Nova
days. however, their daughters use Sapo-
lilo, and in one hour can polish more ar

The Picayalne announces that Colonel

G.. Dill, associate. editor of that journal,
have formally rendered their designations,
which have been accepted by the board of
managers. Mr.. Forman, president of the
board, in his note to Colonel Rhett, re-
marks that the pressure, of the times
compels US to attempt more cooperative
system in the publication of the Picayune,
which we construe to mean that the gen.
uemep who represent the proprietary in
terests in the establishment expect TO do
their own work and save expenses. Messrs.
Rhett and Dill in their joint valedictory adj
dress, also attribute the necessity that COM
pels them to resign their positions to the
'sssagna ton Of all business, precipitated
by the late financial panic and existing
stringency. Hence their withdrawal oc-
ours under the pressure o. pecun:ary
necessity
We have never been one Of those who
believed that the political course which
the Picayasns has followed during the past
year would result in financial success, and
can only express OUT regrets at this con-
fession OF failure. while we withhold our
