Fever-An Appeal from the Citizens for
Aid.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. ., 1873.
There were forty-one interments to-day-twenty-
seven from yellow fever At a meeting OF the
Citizens Executive Committee to-day the follow
ing appeal was made TO the country for aid to the
charitable through the Mayors OF cities In the
United States:-
The yellow fever is increasing daily. Sickness
suspended. For the sake OF suffering humanity
send moneyed relief at once TO our city treasury.
All our charitable societies have exhausted their
resources and private charity itself Is almost eX-
hausted. Memphis has always promptly
eponded to the calls oil the distressed in other
cities. She asks their assistance in return to re-
lieve her dire distresses. The occasion is so de-
plorable that we make the appeal without hesta-
fion but lament the necessity. Money is what we
need to pay nurses, to buy food to bury the dead
and to shelter the orphans and helpless.
Direct by telegraph to John Johnston, Mayor Of
the city OF Memphis; A. ID. Langstaf, President Of
the Howard Association; J. ]. Busby, Chairman Of
the Citizens Executive Committee A. E. Frank
mittee; G, G. Lonsdale, James Elder and ]. J. MUIR
ply.
There is much bitter feeling toward absent rich
citizens, who contributed nothing to aid in ex-
pelng the disease, but have left the poorer classes
10 bear the burden.
At meeting Of the st. Andrews Society this
evening the members formed themselves into a
ssShoulder- -to-Shoulder'' Club, for the relief Of
Scotchmen during the present calamity, and have
called on sister societies for help Applications for
II. T. Tomlinson, Vice President, or John c. Forbes,
Secretary.

Not Ready to Face the Music-Anothcr
Adjournment for Want OF n Quorum.
Another attempt to hold an adjourned meeting
OF the Board OF Aldermen Of Long Island City was
made last evening. Three OF the Aldermen were
present-Messrs. Lonergan, Rafter and slavn.
They adjourned for want OF quorum.
The number necessary to make up quorum
were all in neighboring barroom; but the mem
bers opposed 70 the Mayor thought proper not to
put ~ an appearance In conversation with the
HERALp's representative Mr. George u. Hunter,
the President OF the Board, who had been per-
suaded by somebody that Mayor Debeyose was
really suspended, and had himself taken the oath
OF of1ce as Mayor, expressed some doubts
rs to the legality OF his action i'm
that regard. He has refrained, up to
this, from exercising. any executive function
and he and his associates have begun to think
they were laboring under somewhat OF a mistake
In making charges against Mayor Debevolse
which, on further information, they fear have been
altogether groundless. 1t is known that the Mayor
and his friends are preparing to "strke back,n
and have already commenced proceedings against
