gram from Mayor johnson, of Mem

following language: 81 am panied to
have to say that the disease is spread

have to ask and accept aid from abroad.

'- LATER PARTICULARS.
MEMPHIS, Oct. 1875 p. M.-From
the latest information that can be
gothered, slight check is manifest in
the course of the malady, though it is
almost impossible to get reliable state
ments from any source. Interviews
with physicians show a difference of
opinion as to the extent of the check,
but all agree that the disease has pass
ed its worst, and as the new cases are
less malignant and fewer in number,
and the appearance that a succession
of frosts will follow the one of this
it is, safe to conclude that
there will be. no moro violent out
break. The fatality viii necessarily
be heavy for week or ten days, but
aside from this more hopeful feeling
prevails. There was more business
apparent to-day, many merchants re-
ceiving and shipping large bill. Sew
eral houses to-day closed doors, to re-
main so until the affliction has entirely
as the business doing does
not justify the expense of keeping
open. .-----'-.
The work of cleaning and disenfect-
ing the alleys is going on vigorously.-t
Cart loads of lime were strewn in the
cutters ON each side of the street, yes
Ierday, and the Board OF Health are
doing everything possible with the
means at hand, and urging the citizens
b, use the prescribed disinfectants, so
that it is confidently believed that in a
few days more the malarial poison
that has produced such terrible results
will be efectually eradicated.

THE Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday
says of the result in this State that al
O'Clock A. NJ. we are not able to state
with any degree of certainty the result
of the election in Ohio. Outside oi
Hamilton County the Democrats have
very generally gained Dis compared
with the vote of October, 1872, when
wicko6, Republican, was elected Sec
retary of State by 1850 majority.
There was q comp paratiyely small vote
cast, and this, with the increased vote
for the Prohibition ticket, operated
against the Republicans. From the
best information we have Gov. Noyes
and the State ticket seem to be elected
by five to seven thousand majority.
The Legislature, outside of this county,
is decidedly Democratic, and its COM
plexion will depend upon the result in
Hamilton County, which at this writ
ing can not be determined. Cincinnati
and Hamilton County have done well.
III the Republicans have not carried
this county, they have certainly gained
largely, and if, as we suppose, the Re
publican State ticket is elected, its sue
cess will be due to these gains. In
every ward and precinct, so far as heard
from, fully or in part, with one or two
exceptions the Republicans have gain
- -I-
ed handsomely, and if the gains at the
voting places from which we are still
without advices prove to be in proper
tion to those indicated by incomplete
returns, the Democratic majority of
1858, in October, 1872, will be over

With all the discussion for. and
against the farmers, as a class, Mr..
Beecher, in, his new lecture on the
battle of Business" certainly does
not pay them very high compliment.
He says: ..F.. ..,i,s.l 1e,a,j
"All the great corporations know the
price of the old members of the Legis-
latlIre, and quickly find out what the
new ones can be had for. The men
who are brought over the easiest-the
cheapest--are the farmers, not because
they are in fact more venal, but be-
cause, in their simplicity, they are
compromised and involved before they
know 1t. The lawyers and merchants,
more accustomed 10 the arts Of
schemers, are more wary. They have
to be fished for more patiently, and are
only secured alta large expense I'd
1t would seem from this extract that
the reverend gentleman has concluded
that Legislators are all bought, and the
only question is the price. 1t is not
barely possible that there Are some
honest men who are members of the
Legislatures of the various Statess Are
all lawyers, merchants, and farmers
for sale in official positions ? And are
preachers the only honest and incor-
ruptible men as a +elass?s 81 -
There Is said to be a good deal Of
feeling among the members of the
Polaris party, now at Washington,
against Capt. Tyson and party, and
they seem to consider the reported
poisoning of Captain Hall as charges
Specifically made by the Tyson party,
and are much disturbed by the idea
Tyson has advanced that the separa-
tion from the party on the ice-fios was
Intentional. This feeling has sprung
up since the Duddington party, learned
of the statements made by the Tyson
party. Although prominent men of

were not-in accord, the crew were not

At to-day noon Thursday the re-
turns from the State do not settle the
question as to whether Noyes or Allen
is elected Governor of Ohio.
The balance of power in the Lower
House will probably be held by third
party, while the Senate is Republican,
SO that the return of Thurman to the
Senate is not insured. aii-'1 hin
The vote in the State is light and the
Republican losses in the interior heavy.

4 Strange Story of Crime,

Referring to the recent murder of Henry
| Armant by Sam Williams in this city, the
New Orleans correspondent of the Louis
vile Courier-Journa! furnishes the follow
ing information concerning the Sntecedents
OF one of the yarties:
An unfortunate affair occurred here few
days since. which illustrates the fate which
pursues some families like Nemesis.
young man named Henry Amant was
killed while talking with a lady whom he
was visiting. without being allowed chance
or warning. Some years ago, it will be re-
hembered by your Lexington readers, a
gentleman Of that name came there from
Louisiana, bringing with him his wife and
three sons. The family lived in great Sc
ciuslon, Mrs. Amant rarely seeing any one.
She was very beautiful and seemed over
Vhelmed with an intense melancholy. It
TRANSFERRED that she had snsrried in oppo..
ton to the wishes Of her relatives. and had
once separated from him on account Of his
savage and violent temper. Strangely
enough this temporary divorce. q 0,C.se:
e horo. was terminated by an actual
olOpement; she ran away from her
trlends and YejOined her husband shortly
afterNard. -Armant attacked one of her
relatives, who stabbed him repeatedly and
left him for dead. Upon his recovery he re-
moved, 40 has been said 20 Lexington,
hentucky. There his violence and eccen-
trlcity developed into positive insanity, and
after having been long terror to that com
munlty. he was one night assassinated in a
most horrible manner: some unknown Der
son blew his brains out with shotgun.
hlS eldest son, Horace, conceived the idea
altogether unjust, that Mr.. Ben Wartiel9,
an exceedingly sstimable man, had insti-
gated the murder. Young Armant was
himselfs gallant. generous fellow. and for
bore to attack Warfeld in tho lack OF all
proof to justify lis suspicious until he en-.
eountered him accidentally, and an a,terca-
ZION ensuing, they exchanged shots with
fatal effect; Warfield was killed and Armant
desperately wounded. Mrs. Armant re- !
turned with He1ry 70 Louisiana, and
Horace went no one knows WHITTIER. Last
week Henry-s handsome, vivaciou. youth |
OF admirable and winning characterize |
