the action of the Belfast truckmen on the oc-

with that of men in the same branch of business,

The custom house authorities yester'

shawls valued at $4,000, which had
originally been imported from Hudders'
field, England, with five other cases
which had been sent to Mexico, when,
after remaining short time, they were
shipped to this port and fraudulently
entered. After the examination and
appraisement the fact was revealed that
the cases were undervalued to the ex-
tent Of one thousand per cent. The
name Of the firm, which is said to be
one of the heaviest shawl importing
houses in the city, was withheld by the
authorities from the public.
1t is reported that there will be extern
sive changes in the present Board OF Di-
reetors of the Erie Railroad Company

Alexander S. Bevin, John t. Johnston
and Homer Ramsdell. Who the new d.
rectors will be are not yet known. The
Vice Presidency, made vacant by the
resignation Of General David, has been
filled by the election of President Dew
eraux, of the Cleveland, Columbus, Gin

will also probably be chosen general
manager Of the Atlantic and Great
Western railroad. Samuel Newell, for
many years associated counsel to Erie,
has resigned and returned to private
practice. He is succeeded by Judge

directors of Erie in London,
is expected in New York some time this
month for the purpose Of arranging GER
tain matters relative to Erie and Allan

the new board and the future policy of
the Erie road will be largely shaped to
meet his views.

Judge Flippin's charge 10 the Grand
Jury, in regard TO their duty as touching
the sanitary condition Of the city, will
strike the public mind as eminently well
timed and commendable. The Board OF
Health to be established by the city has
not. as far as known, been called into
existence by appointment, and, there
fore. has done nothing. Meanwhile, the
rate of mortality does not decrease in
Memphis. Nashville or elsewhere. We
begin TO feel that there is neglect in
some quarter, or such measures would
have been adopted TO secure the cleans
ing Of the city as the people in Nashville
and other places have enforced without
DELAY. Ii is some weeks since the APP
pearance of sporadic cholera was re-
ported here, and the number Of deaths
per day has reached as high as fifteen
according to the reports Of undertakers,
who, at present, are the highest official
authority on the subject. And since we
have not had the benefit of q Board OF
Health, whatever may be the future
prospect, the Judge of the Criminal
Court has, acting under a high sense
of duty and integrity, done well to
call the attention of the Grand Jury to a
subject involving much Of life and pros
perity to the community. DIR. Snyder,
an eminent physician, gives it as his
opinion in one of the morning papers
that the prevailing disease, or disap-
nearing disease, as he calls it, is a mild
form of Asiatic cholera. Call it by
whatever name it has carried off over sew
enty people in one week, most of them
colored, it is true, but this fact should
surely be suggestive Of prompt action
toward enforcing all possible preventive
measures by our authorities. If cholera
is to prevail here all summer, it is q
solemn duty to prepare for it with all
available means, that the calamity may
be as light as possible. If not, 1T will
do no harm to use disinfectants, and
have some cleaning up done any how.
No city in the country is more in need
of it. A few, perhaps one person IN
hundred, can leave the city for places OF
supposed safety, but the masses must
remain. The working classes, the re-
tail merchants, men on salaries, police
men, fremen, mechanics of all kinds,
the people Of moderate means, especi-
ally if they have families, must stay here
all summer, cholera or no cholera. They
are the patient toilers, who rent from the
rich, who uncomplainingly and indi-
rectly pay heavy taxes, and hew the
stones with which our material prosper
ity is built up. They have some rights In
this matter which cannot much longer
be ignored or set aside. The life Of the
poor, ignorant man is as dear to him
aud his family as if he were million
aire, and the death of his child brings
as deep grief to his kearthstone as if he
lived in palace of his own. And it is the
duty Of the authorities to protect those
who are too careless or ignorant or poor
to take care of themselves, as well as to
look after the interests of the more for
tunate classes, who are so well prepared
to take care of themselves Let us hear
next from that Board of Health.
