YELLOW FEVER IN THE SOUTH,

In Memphis yesterday there were
twenty-four deaths from yellow fever,
and more than one hundred are now
sick. A heavy frost on the previous
night, however, is looked upon as as
surfing rapid decrease in the number
of cases. Reports of deaths from mis-
takes in medicines and exceedingly I'M
pleasant details of the conduct of the
more vicious among the nurses add to
the sense of the horrors of the present
situation there. Subscriptions for the
benefit of the afflicted are now more
numerous. There was meeting of
citizens of Memphis in st. Louis yes
terday, and committee was appointed
to seek additional aid for the sick and
the large number of newly made widows
who are still in the afflicted city. Col
lections are to be taken up in Whining
ton for the aid of both Memphis and
Shreveport, and subscriptions are con-
tinued in Louisville, and commenced in
Boston and Buffalo. In Montgomery,
yesterday, there were four deaths in
Shreveport three in Little Rock one,
and in cambridge, Ga, there are eight
or ten cases of fever, and new ones are
occurring daily.

EFFECTS OF THE RECENT FREsHEr.

EFFEC OF THE REGENT FRESHET.
News of serious damage done by the
storm in the early part OF the week is
being received from all parts Of the
State. The Delaware River rose to an
unprecedented height, submerging
thousands of acres of land along its
banks and carrying away and destroy
ing quantities of valuable property.
The loss of lumber alone in the vicinity
of Belvidere, N. j., is estimated at five
thousand dollars. The damage to farm
lands submerged is large, but has not
yet been ascertained. At Trenton the
river rose at the rate of four inches an
hour, and the mill owners were obliged
to suspend work owing to the back
water.
The freshet in Essex County along
the New York and Oswego Midland
Road was the severest ever known there.
Farm lands suffered most severely, the
water at some points being above the
fences. The total damage in the coun-
ty is estimated at fifty thousand dollars.
From the southern parts of the State
come reports of great damage at near
points in the State of Pennsylvania. The
Meriersville bridge on the Peoples
Railroad was washed away just after a
train had crossed it. At Girardville n
gentleman attempted to drive with his
two children over swollen brook. The
carriage was overturned and both chill
dren were drowned The Allentown
Rolling Mills were obliged to stop work
ON account of the high water.

Three inches of snow have fallen at
Negannel, Michigan, and seven inches
at Fort Geary, Manitoba.
The Phoenix silk mill in Paterson has
commenced running full time again, the
employees having consented to reduc-
ton of twenty per cent in their wages.
On Thursday night, Mrs. Jane Or
chard was locked in room in the third
story Of her residence, Pennington and
Hermon streets, Newark, by her hus-
band, because she was drunk and wanted
more liquor. About midnight she I'M
dertook to lower herself from the win
dow with rope made of sheets, but
slipped and fell to the sidewalk sustain
ing injuries which will prove fatal.
Preparations are being made for a
colossal demonstration in Dublin, on
the 23d of next month in favor of amnes-
ty for the Fenian prisoners. Immense
excursion parties from various sections
of Ireland, and even from the United
States, are expected. 1t is believed
there will be fully million of people
in the city. The music will be furnish
ed by five hundred bands.

FREDERICK a. POTTS.

This gentleman on Tuesday last, was
unanimously nominated by the Repub-
licans of Hunterdon county, for the
senate. The nomination gives universal
satisfaction, and the people are rallying
in their strength to his support. Mr..
Potts is gentleman of unblemished
character, and possesses ability of a
high order.
Last fall he was candidate for Con
gress in the Fourth District. He show
ed amazing strength, reducing the large
Democratic majority some eight hun
dred. He possesses the esteem of his
acquaintance, and if elected, las we
have every reason now to believe he
will be- the people will be faithfully
represented. Mr.. Potts is gentleman
who cannot be sweryed from the path
of duty. He will not go to Trenton to
accept any manner of bribes-being
fully able to pay his own board bill.
The people cannot do better than en-
trust their interests in his keeping We
want men like Mr. Potts in the senate
men who can be trusted in any emer-
gency-men who are able to combat and
resist temptations-men who think more
of their honor than of the heap to be
gained by sacrifice of principle for
the flesh pots. The Lambertville Re-
cord speaks as follows:
Frederick A. Potts, Esq, the candi-
date for State Senator, is q man of ex-
cellent natural abilities, of good educa-
ton, and of first class business talent.
His moral character is unimpeachable,
and he bears the reputation of being a
man of the most generous impulses
Where he is best known he is best
liked, and among his own neighbors all
speak of him as gentleman, in the
highest sense of the term.

The New Jersey Southern Railroad
company has varied history. A short
time ago there was q change of direc-
tors, the old board, which included some
of the best citizens of New Jersey, re.
firing. The road, it was supposed,
would pass under control of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad company, but
this has not been its fortune. 1t was
asserted on Wall street, yesterday. that
the Southern Railroad company was
bankrupt, and that large amount OF
its paper was falling due and could not
be paid. The creditors are pressing
their claims. One has instituted a suit
for sixty thousand dollars, for money
loaned to the company. Jay Gould, it
is understood, has claim of six hun
dred thousand dollars, which he will
prosecute. 1t is supposed that he owns
majority of the stock and bonds Of the
ill-iated road. The day cannot be far
distant, however, when its importance
will secure for its management an abun-
dance of means to place it on first
class basis.

REsUM1NG SPECIE PAYMENTS.

About two weeks ago the President,
in an interview of semi-oficial charac-
ter, said return to a specie basis can
never be effected except by shrinkage
of values, that the shrinkage has not
taken place, the currency has appreciat-
ed to about par with silver, and the
wonder to him was that silver is not
pouring out. When this should take
place his theory was that the country
will absorb two or three hundred mil
lions of it. Since that time the Presi-
dent, in consultation with the Secretary
of the Treasury, has been considering
how such a result might be produced
with the view of affording relief to the
country within legal limits. The Direc-
tor of the Mint has been acting in ac-
cordance with the Presidents policy,
making extensive arrangements for the
coinage of both gold and silver to an ex-
tent heretofore unprecedented, so as to
be ready for resumption of specie pay
ments, there now being large quantities
of these metals awaiting coinage. The
first step in resumption has been taken,
it having been ascertained from the
Secretary of the Treasury that the Gov
eminent will pay out silver as soon as it
can be proftably and conveniently coin
ed for that purpose.

Yesterday afternoon Eddie Brown,
son of John ]. Brown, president Of the
First National bank in Paterson, acct
dentally shot George Ramsey, son Of
Albert Ramsey, grocer in the Washing
ton market. Mr.. Brown, who is tenn
porarily out of town, left his revolver
where it could be reached by his son,
who took it out in the yard to shoot at
the fence. Just as he discharged it
young Ramsey, who was in Van Houten
street, looked over the fence to see what
was going on. He did so just in time
to receive the bullet, which entered his
head between the nose and the left eye.
Drs. Rogers, Van Ripper, and Marsh
probed for the bullet and found it be-
tween the skull and the brain. There
are hopes of the boy recovery, although
the chances are against him. Both boys
are about twelve years of age.

An amusing incident occurred up at
Eldora the other evening. A man who
had recently buried his wife got mar
ried again Immediately, much to the
disgust of his neighbors, who, to be re-
venged, turned out in large numbers
and gave him a rousing charivari. The
easily-consoled husband stood the racket

rebuke to the crowd in this manner

The staenation of business interferes

The stagnation of business interferes
seriously with the profits of the railroad
companies. One looks in vain for the
long trains of freight which, a few
months ago, passed over the great lines
through Elizabeth. The number OF
passengers appears to be nearly as large
before the beginning of the panic. In
these dull times, many have leisure to
travel, and they diligently improve it.
Railroad companies throughout the
country are economizing. Thousands
of their laborers are being discharged,
projected improvements are postponed,
and all work in hand is being closed up
as rapidly as possible.

The cheering intelligence comes from
Washington that the Secretary of the
Treasurer has decided upon an impor-
tant step. At the present time the
price of gold has fallen so low that he
feels justified in placing currency on a
silver basis and has determined to be-
gin next week paying out silver the
same as greenbacks, and will when de-
sired pay off bills against the govern
ment in silver, and exchange silver for
currency, or vice versa.

Newark matters state that their bust
ness has been brisk all the season, and
very profitable. In some instances men
have worked extra hours to fill orders.
While we hear SO much about the gen.
eral stagnation of business throughout
the country, it is pleasant to know that
many Newark manufacturers are doing
well. The shoe trade is lively as yet,
though the workmen are mainly engag
ed on back orders. Apprehensions are
entertained that the shoe business will
be dull before winter sets in. The
Clark thread works, which employs
eight hundred women and two hundred
and fifty men, are running full time.
and the prospect is encouraging for the
future. The saddle and harness manu-
facturers report dull times. The mum
Der of unemployed persons in Newark,
Notwithstanding the favorable reports,
is very large, and many will have hard
fight to keep the wolf from the door

The literature of cpitaphs, says the
London Standard, has recently been en-
riched by the poetical effusion of gen.
tleman at Dulverton who considers his
brothers tomb favorable place for
making lasting record of his dissatis-
faction at the conduct of his sister-in-
law. The epitaph commences in per-
fectly orthodox manner, To the me-
mory of, etc.; etc., but suddenly breaks
out into this wild quatrain
Neglected by his doctor,
Treated cruel by his nurse,
His brother was robbed by his widow,
Which makes it all the worse"
If the cruel treatment and neglect
were ON level with the poetry they
must have been bad indeed. It is, in
fact, difficult to see that anything could
possibly happen to make the whole af-
fair worse than it is.
