The Latest Report from Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct, ID, 1873
From the latest Information that can be gath
cred slight check Is manifest in the course Of the
malady though it is almost impossible to get rella.
BILE statements from any source Interviews with
physicians show q difference Of opinion as to the
extent OF the check; but all agree that
the disease has passed its worst and that
the new cases are less malignant and
fewer in number, and probably . succession Of
frosts will follow the one OF this morning. 1t is
safe to conclude there will be no more violent out
break. The fatality will necessarily be heavy for
week or ten days, but aside from this more hope
iul feeling prevails There was more business APP
parent to-day many merchants receiving and
shipping large bills. Several houses to-day
closed their doors, to remain so until
the aiiction has entirely subsided. As business is
now being transacted it does not justify the ex-
pense OF keeping open The work of cleaning and
dislnfecting the streets and alleys Is still going
vigorously. Carloads OF lime were strewn in the
cutters on each side OF the street yesterday, and
the Board OF Health is doing everything possible
with the means at hand, and is urging citizens to
use prescribed disinfecting agents about their
premises, and 1t is confidently believed that in
few days more the malarial poison that has pro-
duced such terrible results will be eectuay eradi
Gated.
The contributions received from all sources to-
day by the Howard Relief Association amounted to
$7,T42 06 II Is estimated that less than 10000
persons remain in the city during the night. Large

row correspondence from Brownsville Texas
