The yellow Fever.

A private letter written by Memphis
gentleman to a New York friend gives
more thrilling and sickening picture of
pestilential horrors in that city than
comes to the knowledge of Northern
people through the public dispatches. In
fact, he saysth Memphis papers have
failed to record the fearful extent of
suffering because they feared that bust
ness might consequently be driven away.
Nevertheless, it has been driven, away,
and that is the most trifiing evil eonse-
quent. Whole families have been car
ried off by the yellow fever, and their
corpses lie unburied in houses with no
one to attend to them. The poor peo-
pie especially suffer terribly. and when
taken generally live but q short time,
though rich and poor are now afflicted
alike. The undertakes are not able to.
bury them, and the dead bodies are car.
ried off in wagons, sometime as many as
nine in one cart. Even the prisoners at
the station-houses are sent out under a
guard of policemen to lay out the dead
and put them in their. collins, q worse
punishment perhaps than their sentences
provided The Sisters of Charity and
members of the various benevolent So
cieties who first afforded relief are now
beginning to be affected to a consid-
cradle extent, and the contributions
from outside are not commensurate with
the peoples extremity where sixty-five
or seventy deaths are daily reported and
doubtless more take place. If there
ever was an appeal in this country
in behalf of humanity, This is one, and
prompt response is the duty ofevery city
and town. Boston Post. I'll. >.

A WEDDING AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
The first wedding service in the new
Baptist church was held yesterday af-
ternoon at two O'Clock Egbert @. Tut
tie (the junior member of the finn OF
futile s. Co., being united in marriage
to Miss Rachel E. Mann. The cere-
mony was performed by the pastor Rev.
E. Mills. The bridesmaids were Miss
Hattie Edison and Miss Ida Mann the
groomsmen, Charles II. Hayward and
F. G. futile. Taking part in the we'd
ding ceremony were two little lads,
nephews of the bridegroom, standing ON
either end of the wedding party; also
two young misses, neices of the bride
groom, dressed as flower girls, who took
position directly in the rear of the bridal
couple. The service was interesting
and impressive; Immediately upon its
conclusion the flower girls took the lead
out of the church, scattering flowers in
the pathway of the bridal party: The
church was crowded by the friends OF
the young welded couple. The organ
was presided over by Mrs. Sarah II.
Chatterton In creditable manner. The
gentlemen ushers in attendance were
Charles S. Mason, Martin P. Flack and
Frank NJ. Pierce. The happy couple
left on the $50 p. m. train yesterday,
for a bridal tour of a couple of weeks.

hat abe was not actuated by any false

| that she was not actuated by any false
pride, and as the negro did not object,
| she married him according to the law OF
| the land. The final sequel of the affair
will be found in our court report, pub
lished in another column. The story as
far as we are allowed to tell it, is briefly
this A few months ago certain mag
istrate was besct day after day by col
ored brother, to perform the marriage
ceremony for him. His Honor, who had
something of reputation for officiating
at colored weddings, refused to go from
his house to attend the wedding, but
consented to do the job, if it could be
brought home to him. At an appointed
time the parties appeared, when, to the
establishment of the magistrate, the
smoky groom was attended by hand
some well-appearing white girl. He
was surprised, nonplused, and hesitated,
but the groom produced license, and
invited him to go ahead, and he went
ahead and said the magic words which
made that democratic couple husband
and wife, kissed the bride, and in his
embarrassment the groom also, and let
them depart in peace.
All went pleasantly for few weeks,
and the bride was happy, but the young
husband having married a. white wife
thought he must do as white men did,
so he took to drinking and here too, he
showed he was the equal of his pale
faced brother, for he got beastly drunk
upon every available occasion, and when
drunk he treated his wife just as all
drunken men are apt to, and brought
sorrow and shame to her heart, and she
could not see how he was any better
than white man. So after standing
grief as long as she felt bound to do SO,
and not quite feeling it her duty to be
beat and pounded by drunken man OF
any color, she appealed to the courts,
and o few days ago was set free from
her CALLING bonds, and went her way re-
joicing in her freedom to nearly as great
and extent as when she carried her
dusky husband in triumph from the
dwelling of the urbane justice, who re-
corded her marriage vows,
The conservative orators and editors
of Virginia are calling out to the ladies
of the Old Dominion to spurn from their
presence all men who vote for the can
didates who are to receive the negro
vote. We hope that the experience of
this Rutland girl will be waited to the
sunny fields of old Virginia before the
ladies there respond to this call and ban
ish from their sweet presence the poor
voters who cast their ballots for the
same candidates that the negroes vote
for. She can tell them an experience
but few of them know about, and she
can testify that in brutality drunken
negro is the peer of any man, and from
I the tale she could tell the proud Vir-
ginia ladies could learn that negro so
ciety can. be severed by the same process
that divides Caucasian ties, and that if
any of them are so unlucky as to marry
brutal negroes, they can get a divorce
for the same cause and under the same
regulations that they could get free from
a white man. So don't be too hard on
the voters.

AT noon on Monday the Supreme
Court of the United States convened at
Washington, Associate Justice Clifford
presiding No business was transacted
except topay the annual visit of courtesy
to the President. The hour of meeting
for the session was fixed at twelve
o'clock, and notice was given that the
twenty-sixth rule, requiring ten cases to
be called day, would be enforced on
all days except Fridays. After the adj
journment a meeting of the bar was
held, over which Reverdy johnson, of
Maryland, presided, to take appropriate
action concerning the death of Chief
Justice Chase. Mr.. johnson, in the
course of his address on taking the chair,
said the death of an eminent Judge of
even a State Court is always a great
calamity, but the death of Chief JUS
tioe of the Supreme Court of the United
States was still greater calamity, be-
cause OF the greater extent of jurisdic-
ton and the greater Importance of ques-
lions to be decided He felt sure he
could assert with perfect truth that
more able, pure and upright Justices
than those which adorned this Court
were not to be found in any other coun-
try of the world; and as to the late
Chief Justice, he was in all respects
equal to his predecessors. When the
appointment was made, although he had
| high appreciation of his talents and
ability as legislator and officer of the
government, and was satisfied Mr.. Chase
was truly great man, he had his doubts
concerning his capacity for the distin-
guished judicial position, but in this he
mistook, for his decisions, involving
SO many delicate and important ques-
tions growing out of our sad civil strife,
from the very first commanded the APP
prevail of the profession and of the
country. He would forbear to even con-
lecture who was to succeed to the Chief
Justiceship. He believed, however, and
he felt perfectly satisfied frosnhis Judge
ment of the appointing and containing
power, that whoever shall be the sue
cessor will be fou4A equal to the task.
In conclusion, Mr., johnson said, some
consolation was to be found in the fact
that as q father the late Chief Justice
was tender; as friend, steadfast; as a
man, he stood to the last high in. the
confidence of his countrymen, and he
died. as he lived. a Christian. A con-
mittee was appointed who drafted reso-
lutions eulogistic of the deceased, that
will be presented to tie Court by the
Attorney General. The Bar also voted
to wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days.

EVerpC ,dy has laughed over the story
Oh nov Uncle Daniel Drew gave points
10 .ne Methodist minister in reference to
ONE stock of which he was carrying
larger amount than he desired, and
kindly guaranteed large profits to him,
under pledge of secrecy. If he would
take few shares, and which the minis

dental friends in the congregation, and
thus afforded Uncle Daniel an opportu-
nifty to unload upon the brethren. But
the days of Uncle Daniel are about
passed, and it is rumored on Wall street
yesterday and day before that the old
fox had been lady caught, and was
whiting almost as badly as ex-senator
Pomeroy did under his pistol shot in the
hat, and at last the rumor was verified

being put into the hands of the men,

of which Daniel Drew is one, desiring
their presence in the United States Dis
trict Court on the 18th instant, to show
cause why they should not be declared
