Our seashore healthy.

Contradicting report in reference to
the existence of yellow fever on our sea-
shore, the Seashore Gazette. says:
1t a gross misstatement of facts. The
fever has not appeared at Biloxi and other
points. Some New Orleans families did
leave Barnes hotel, but certainly not on &C
count of yellow fever, as there was not
then, nor is there now, single case at that
hotel or Mississippi City. Nor is there at
Biloxi or any point on the Mississippi sea-

WE learn that the generous people of
Yazoo City and county, have contribu-
ted over one thousand dollars to the
suffering people of Vicksburg. The
Howard Association of the latter place
telegraphed to the Mayor of Yazoo City
for physician and DIR. P. j. Mccormick
by the way, one OF the most eminent
medical men in the State-tendered his
services in response to the call; but his
neighbors and patrons thinking they had
already contributed literally and know
ing the necessity of his services to his
own people, in case the epidemic wave
should reach them, would not give their
consent. 1t might have been added that
this generous community had already
sent three hundred dollars to the strick-
Ell people of Grenada. So far, Yazoo
City has escaped the dreaded pestilence,
and the efficient public agents deserve
all praise for the rigid system of quaran-
tine they have adopted, coupled with
comprehensive and costly system of
fumigation and disinfection.

Allen, of the Vicksburg Herald editorial
staff, in his family affections caused by
the epidemic. We lament the loss of
his daughter, and trust that he and others
of his household who have been attacked
may speedily recover. He was overtaken
by the disease in his determination to re-
main at his post and to discharge his
duties to the public as journalist.

worst apprehensions. Maj. Allen is no
more. He was a native of this city.

In your editorial of the q instant, wherein

the republicans of Kansas (aIthough you call
them radicals to make the name oifenslve) sail
lug uudcr the same flag, you say that the in
tcrcst on the government bonds will have to be
paid by The government whether held by the
banks or Individuals. If understand the mat.
ter correctly it is proposed that rs last as the
national bank notes are returned to the treasury
Tor cancellation or redemption that they be CAP.
cclIcd aud destroyed, and the same amount Of
treasury notes issued. If tho banks cannot
fund tho treasury legal tenders IN their place.
then they will cancel their bonds deposited to
the extent required; that tho result of the re-.
domption Of the bank notes By the treasury will
necessarily iorce the interior banks to give up
their bonds there is no doubt, but whether q
dollar OF these bonds Is retired or not. or held
by banks or individuals to tho extent that the
treasury oaoocls the national bank note7. will
bonds be called aad retired, and Of course inter-
est aa$e. 1t is stated that the government pays
about Is to 600 millions interest on tho
bonds held by tho banks, and receives or
millions back 10 taxes but It is we'll known that
there is o great fort abtIlt to be made 10 get
a reduction OF portion of this, which is oner.
Gus, not 50 mucii on account Of tho government

which arc oppressive. If the government can
endorse tho notes OF bank it can certainly
issue them direct, and is quite as competent to
keep up the credit Of the legal tender notes as
the national talks and to keep up the credit
of this 200 millions of alIycr and gold in tho
treasury would be amply sufficient to redeem
all the government issues and additional ones
if tie national bank notes are called 10. | don't
belong 10 the class that suppoHes grcenbacks

is it any object for the government To save ten

10 the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
DEAR SIR Everybody it seems feels bound
to give you an item on finance, tho great enigma
Of tho age; one which has puzzled wise heads;
and really the 80 called wise ones seem to be
most ct fault, and 80 far TO have shot wide OF
the mark. Some of the views as expressed 10
print arc simply absurd. 1t is great mistake
to suppose that tho cause of the depression OF
labor, and The stringency Of tho times Is simply
reaction from the war, and an over produo
ton. There is no over production. The Sim
pie truth is that there arc thousands and tens
of thousands standing ready now to take and to
absorb every dollars worth Of this 80 called
over production, but they are not 10 the same
condition financially as they once we're. They
must mend, patch and use their old goods and
machinery, or go without. The fact is the pro:
| ducars Of the so called over stock destroyed
their customers. The goose which laid the
golden egg died with the prosperity OF the
South. and the country can never own another
until wo begin to prosper. The only hope We
have, and the only remedy for our relief, 10
that ne lay aside all other policy, and set our
selves diligently to work to carry out 10 every
sense Of the term the policy of Mr.. Ream. OF
Culpcpcr, and MIR. Barton, of Frederick, as ex'
pressed in the Gazette Of August 3Oth,, 1878;
Any other policy is in tho interest OF WaIl
street, and not 10 tho interest OF our people,
u nder that policy aono will we ever DO able to
pay our taxes, the interest on the State debt,
the State debt, and induce immigration to the
old State. We have no fight with State banka
grccnbacks, legal tender, with specie, national
and State banks; to stand each 90 its own bot
usury laws, exemptions from and after Ger
tain date, effect radical change in real estate
sales now operating entirely against the poo
