During the prevalence of yellow
fever in the South, Louisville has
opened her hospitable doors to the
fugitives from pestilence and even
made provision for the treatment at
the public expense of any case Of
the disease which might break out
among her immigrant guests.
GAINESVILLE has done the same, and
has been fortunate in escaping the
iaundiced eye of malignant envy in
doing so. Not so Louisville; she
has neighbor a little up the river
who looks upon anything good in
louisville, anything conducive to
her prosperity or good name as adj
verse and hostile to herself. Well,
Cincinnati has acted in a way ex-
actly the reverse of Louisville she
has rigidly quarantined against all
the Southern States, including Ken
lucky and especially Louisville, and
established a Gordon of police across
her railroads and along her wharves
preventing the access of goods or
: passengers from the unhappy South,
bidding them return to the abodes
of pestilence and die. OF course
this has excited some comment IN
T the South, and the conduct of Lou
isville has been contrasted with that
of Cincinnati to the disadvantage OF
the latter city. This has aroused
the most hateful malignity in the
= Cincinnati people against erSouth

= teemed with falsehoods to the dis

The principal business before the
Board was to provide for the large
increase in numbers. For this
purpose arrangements were made
for an additional teacher in the
colored schools and for an addition
to the school building in the 9th
Ward. The day for regular meet
ing of the Board, which has hitherto
been the first Tuesday in the month,
was altered, as that day is also used
for the regular meetings of the
BOARD of Mayor and Aldermen.
phe School Board will therefore
hereafter meet on the first Monday
after the close of each school month.

GEN. LUKE e. WRIGHT, OF MEM

We have, by the great kindness
of Judge Smith, been permitted to
publish letter from this gentleman
written at Memphis. 1t would need

the modesty of the General leaves
Untouched the noble part which ne

ing her awful affections.
AS soon as it became evident that
Memphis was to become victim
to the epidemic, Gen. Wright stood
forward among the first to organize
a systematic plan for the relief of
the distress which always attends
upon such visitations. The Citizens
Relief Committee was the result OF
their deliberations, and Gen. Wright
was elected its Chairman. He la
bored with energy and zeal in such
a manner as to earn the blessings OF
thousands who received succor from
him in their dire distress, until hi
was himself stricken down with the
malady. He passed through
struggle from which few come OF
with life, and before he had recov
cred health and strength enough TO
its arduous labors he was at his pos
again ministering to the suffering
of his fellow citizens of all classes
1t was too much for his half-recruitet
energies and he fell into a relapse

Ience of the epidemic when / tell you that
out of more than twenty-five members IN
the beginning there are now eight alive, and
of these all have had the fever save four.
Indeed, the horrors of this visitation can
hardly be appreciated even by an eye-wit-
ness and participant. There have been
scenes connected wish it that would shock
and appal the stOuteSt. Perhaps the only
bright spot in all our darkened horizon has
been the sympathy and charity of mankind,
1t has not only fallen like the blessed dew
from heaven, hut it has poured upon us in
steady and Increasing stream until we have
said, Enough Prominent in practical eX-

can reinSpire hope and courage in what APP

A PARTING ORD.

The Gazette charges the HERALD, we
think inadvertently, with attacking the
judiciary of the State. This is not so.
Quote If you can, dear Gazette, one sentence
from the HERALD, which bears even such
an Inference. We have spoken plainly OF
the Governor and his legal advisers, but
have never said word otherwise than COM
plimentary of the judiciary. There is also
misapprehension as to our attaching the
Governor. We did no such thing. We
commented upon the course of the Execu-
tive, as we had the right to do, and aroused
public sentiment in opposition to bis action
in the matter of Chamber and Collins. We
never even iusinilated thought against the
honesty of his purpose; our blame rested
upon his cabinet, who advised him, as we
conceived, unwisely and against the true
intent and meaning Of bis executive function
Of reprieve. Finis.

European races have settled on this CONT.

The oriental scholars say that 1t is derived
from the haH feast among the Hindoos,
where a similar custom prevails. The
older opinion is that It comes from cele-
bration of Christ's being sent about to and
fro between Herod, Plate and Caiapbas. In
France the fooled man is called poisson

On Saturday morning, shortly after seven
O'Clock, sad and fatal accident occurred
at Hughes & Walkers stone quarry on
Riddles Bank. Martin Connolly, young
man 20 years OF age, was engaged in drilling
hole In stone. Directly above him his
brother-in-law, Michael Mitchell, had been
at work In clearing up the debris Of blast
and large piece of rork which had been
broken by the blast, he tried to move from
its position, but found 1t firm. Shortly
after the rock fell, and Mitchell seing 1t
called to Connolly to look out, who, in en-
deavoriDg to get out of the way, jumped
directly in front of the, which rolled on
him. sas
Connolly died 10 an hour after. The de-

WRONG AGAIN.

Our Congressman, Mr.. Williams, voted
in favor OF Field, the, Republican member
OF Congress from Massachusetts, to retain
his seat contested by Mr.. Dean, the Demo-
crat. This must be classed as the most
extraordinary of all the votes of Mr.:
Williams. The fact was patent that Field
got the certificate of his election IN VIOLA
tion of the laws of Massachusetts regul at
ing elections, and after the election officers
of the district had reported Dean as having
received a majority of the vote cast. The
House of Representatives, 10 giving the
seat 10 Dean, was simply deciding In favor
of an honest count, and against the dis.
honest trickery of the State election board
1t seems as if Mr.. Williams is determined
to compensate Every Evening for It's puffs
by voting againse the wishes and feelings
of his constituents, and in obedience te
the demands Of bis and our Senator's
organs.
