MEMPHIS, Oct. 11.-There is no appa-
rent abatement of the disease. On the
contrary the number cf new cases reported
daily which occur in every part of the city
give evidence that it is on the increase.
The doctors say the recent frost had bene-
fetal effects that will soon develop, but as
yet the mortuary lists are
Alarming.
The relief committees are daily in receipt
of liberal contributions from every part of
the country ard are busily engaged in the
proper dispensing of aid to the sfflicted and
distressed. The demand for nurses Is yet
greater than the supply, and Mobile and
New Orleans are drawn upon and are sup
plying details. The disease is not confined
to any particular locality, though the origi.
nal seat and origin Of the plague, Happy
Hollow, is carefully avoided and being thor
oughly overhsuled by the Board of Health.
The Howards, the Citizens Relief, the Odd
Fellows, Masons', Germans and all other
relief associations are actively engaged in
the work of administering to the sick and
providing for the distressed, the chief aud
most difficult task being the providing tenn
porary homes for the great number of
Helpless Children,
made orphans by the f,ver, as yet, all are
proviced for to limited extent, but as
each day increases the number the means
are necessarily diminishiniDg, and what the
result will be in another week is beyond
present calculation. The Mssons of Mem

Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 10.-It is
stated that the Senate Committee on Trans
portation have agreed to report in favor of
three general water routes; one Norther u,
one Southern, and one Middle. The eh0ice
of the location Of each water route has not
been determined. The canal propositions
from the extreme South come up in SO un-
satisfactory shape that the committee will
probably confne itself to recommending a
short c ,nal around the mouth of the Mis-
sissippl. The preference OF the committee
is reported to be in favor os the James
river and Kauswa canal for the central
route. The Northern interests are so con-
ficting that the committee are much per-
picked how TO make choice between them.
Such are the reports 10 circulation, but it
is probable that they embody the present
drifts of The views Of the committee, and
not any final determination.
The personal examination by the COM
mittee Is still incomplete, and it is not
likely that they viii finish before Novem-

MEMPHIS, Oct. 1.-THE total of deaths
from yellow fever to-day is 45 and 6 from
other causes making total of 81, decrease
of ten from yellow fever cases as compared
with yesterdays report. Many physicians
believe that the disease IS not spreading so
rapidly as during the last week, stia there
are great many cases especially in south
Memphis.
The Mas0ns and odd Fellows are
wholly Gut Of Funds,
and there is widespread destitution. The
benevolent cannot be too active, nor can
they send more than we need. The Catto-
lie Church alone has over 300 orphans to
take care of, made so by the fearful epi-
demic. You can judge from this of th e
scope and character of the scourge. If it
continues another week in the same ratio
as last, it would be well for The Governor
to call the Legislature together to make pro-
vision for our sick and destitute poor. The

fever for the twenty-four hours ending at 6

MEMPHIs, Oct. 1O.--It was rumored st
one time to-day that The Health Board
would TO morrow issue circular address,
requesting those who could get away to
leave the city. This, however, is denied
to night by the President of that board.
DR.. E,skine, who says no such thought hse
entered the mind OF any of the board. The
ffightfal death list is due undoubtedly to
the continuance of the warm weather, and,
unless there is frost or lower tempera-
ture, the new cases must increase.
The disease, or scourge, is not now cor.
fined to any particular portion of tho city,
but is scattered, and cases are reported on
many streets in the south as well as the
north part of the city. The Howard Belief
Association contint1e their work, and have
yet more cases than they can supply nurses
for.
Rifey-four Odd Fellows SICK. #
The Odd Fellows report two deaths to-
day, and have tonight fifty-four members
down with the fever, all of whom are SUPP
Piled with nurses, but their funds are low
and further assistance Is asked from the
sister lodges abroad.
The Knights of Pythiss have ten mem
bers down with fever, and they, too, are ous
of funds. TIER expenses are fifty or sixty
dollars per day, and the Odd Fellows from
three to four hundred dollars per day.
The Free HIasons.
The Masonic fraternity have some twenty
or twenty-five members down with the
scourge, and nearly all the different lodges
of the city have contributed their last dollas
toward the payment Of nurses and for medi-i
cine. These orders, it must be remembered,
are acting entirely independent, and do not
receive dollar of the contributions to the
Howard or Citizens Rsliet Associations, but
depend entirely for assistance upon the aid
furnished BY sister lodges in the East, West,
South and North; and your correspondent,
as representative of two of the orders
named, would ask the continuance of con-.
tributions. Truly we are in need Of all the
assistance that can be given to us.
The Deaths Friday.
The total deaths from all causes to-day
were sxty-two, Of which ffty-iye 6ied from
yellow fever and seven from other causes
This does not include the paupers buried BY

trolled by State or County lines; but in the item
of newspapers, the people want those printed in
their own County; and as for all legal printing.
they are compelled to have it done in their own
County, however much they may desire to patron
ize outside papers. Waite CIoudis literally squeez-
ed in between the States Of Missouri on the east Ne
Lraska the North, and the County of Brown
on the west, with not very friendly community
on the south; so that a newspaper there is actu-
ally cut of from all support except from the town
and small scope of adjacent country.
We deeply regretted the necessity of the re-
moval, fer we liked the town of White Cloud,
and there are many associations connected with
1t which We shall never forget. But few enc
mics whom We were unfortunate to have
there and elsewhere, seized upon the occasion TO
make capital against us. They held out that we
were going back on the people who had stood by
us for so many years, because We had become
miifed at trifing occurrence, and that we
wanted to come to the County Seat in order to
"run" the County. These assertions, kept con-
stsntly before the people by men urged ON by
their hatred, and who had nothing else to do had
their effect upon the unthinking, and npon those
who were unacquainted with the facts. For
time the tide ran strong, and the unprlncipled
men who set it going made use of it to the fullest
extent. But their day has gone by. The people
realize the miserable state of society and OF pub
lie affairs that has been brought about By false
issue, and the reaction has SET in. They begin to
understand that we acted for the best; and these
speedy failures of newspapers set up by our enc
mics, where we labored for 50 many years, con-
vinces the fair-thinking that We left for better
reason than spite, and that We labored harder
and made more sacrifices to remain among them
and keep up paper than any other person, back
ed by our defamers, is able willing to do We
are content to trust the sober second Thought Of
the people.

y Every now and then, some Kansas rews-
paper has fit of virtuous indignation because
other papers will continue to denounce the
treacherous conduct of Senator York. Sanford,
of the Eskridge Landmark, is the last victim of
the fit. He boils over; prOnounces York a noble
conscientious man, who simply fulfilled the obli-
cations of his oath, and all that sort of thing
W. W. Story, speaking in the character of a young
Roman lawyer scjourning at Jerusalem, wrote
far more ingenious and plausible defence of
Judas Iscariot. But We fail to see how YOrk's
oath rs a Senator required him to 60 to Pomeroy
and offer to vote for him for bribe, then to turn
States evidence and expose him after receiving
the bribe-supposing that Pomery really gave
him the money.
