Yellow Fever.

There is a monOtOny in the hor-
rors of "the pestilence which walk
eth abroad" among our Southern
neighhOrs which renders nugatOry
any attempt at forcible language in
describing them. A few figures
giving the results so far will be
more impressive than any attempt
of the sort. Remember, then, that
we are yet more than week from
the date at which the peStilence
commenced in the fatal year of
1878, and yetit has already prevailed
over a month, with a death rate
double that of the year alluded to.
Next Saturday, the 18th inst, will
be the anniversary of the day when
the epidemic Of 1873 first appeared
in Memphis.
The figures down to Thursday
morning were, New ORLEANS, new
cases, 212; deaths, Y. MEMPHIS,
new cases, G9I interments, SO, These
interments are not all due to deaths
on that day; many of them stood
over from the day before through
want of grave diggers. VICKsBURG,

Tribute of Respect to j. Ii. TinsIey
TF,

Tribute of Respect to j. Ii. TinsIey,
Jr.
At q meeting of visitors attending the
Sweet Chalybeate Springs, held on the 18th
day of August, 1873, the Rev. DIR. Charles H.
Read, of Richmond, was called to the chair.
The object of the meeting was stated by
the Chairman in a few touching and appro-
pirate remarks.
Mr.. D. D. Talley was requested to act as
secretary; and thereupon the Rev. DIR.
Charles Minnigerode, of Richmond /; Judge
H. W. Sheffey, of Staunton L. w. Gunther,
Esq, of Baltimore; VIM. H. Haxall and B.
F. Laid, Esqs., of Richmond, George C.
Rives, of Galveston, Texas; and DR.. j. z.
Chancellor, of the University of Virginia,
were appointed committee, who, through
Judge Sheffey, reported the following reso-
buttons, which after some PREDATORY remarks
by Judge Sheffey, were unanimously adopt
ed:
1. Resolved, That the members of this
meeting have heard with deep emotion and
grief of the sudden and unexpected death of
j. b. Tinsley, Jr., the proprietor of the Sweet
Chalybeate Sprtngs-an event which has
just cast its shadow over this beautiful sum-
mer resort; and in the presence of such
bereavement they desire to express their
heartfelt sorrow over the dead and sympathy
grateful appreciation, so far as they have
had the opportunity of knowing him, of the
uniform courtesy, kindly attentiveness, and
gentlemanly bearing of the deceased in his
Intercourse with his guests, and in his care
for their comfort and pleasant accOmmOda-
ton. He was true gentleman, and none
knew him but to find and admire in him
many of those attributes of character which
endear man to his fellows, and the memory
of which brings tears to their eyes when
he is removed from thir midst.
2. That we learn with pleasure that ar
rangementS have been made to continue the
management of the establishment to the
close % the season; that all engagements
with guests now here, well those to
arrive will be faithfully carried out; and
that due efforts will be made not
only to maintain, but, as far as
may be, to increase the ample and very
acceptable provision heretofore made for the
comfort, health and pleasure of guests.
3. That though many of us are personally
strangers to the family of the deceased, we
cannot forbear saying that we truly sympa-
thiZe with them in their unspeakable grief;
and we commend them to the loving care
of Him who, we pray, may be found by them
to be light in their darkness and joy even in
their greatest sorrow
4. That the secretary be requested to trans
init to Mrs. Tinsley copy of the foregoing
resolutions, and that the editors of the press
in Virginia be requested TO publish them.

senatorial Committee.

The meeting to nominate a Sen
atOr for the district comprising
Stewart Montgomery and Robertson
counties need not be very formally
noticed. 1t was the most entirely
harmonious one we have ever wit
messed. Mr.. Fort was here to rep
resent the Democracy of Robertson,
and DIR. Steger spoke for Stewart.
Without conference or canVaSsing il
was the conviction of every one that
Col. Brandon, Of Stewart, was the
right man, he was nominated by ac,
cIamation, and made a capita
speech, acknowledging the honor
and all was done. May we attend
many such conventions.

Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

The Board had several matters of
unusual importance before them on
Tuesday night, the most important
of which were the public schools,
the projected water-works and the
health of the city. All these mat
tiers received careful attention and
were put in train to be attended to
in business-like way.
The first question was the public
schools. Mr.. Polk g. johnson,
from the School Building Commits
sioners, accompanied by A. Howell,
Esq, and DR.. Wright, from the
Board of School Directors, attended
for the purpose of presenting before
the Board the necessities of the
schools for building accommodation
and laying before them a plan by
which the new buildings can be put
up at once. Mr.. johnson stated
that the obstacle to immediate ac-.
ton was that the means in the
hands of the Building Board con-
sist of railroad bonds and other
securities which cannot at present be
disposed of except at a great sacri-
fee; but certain individuals had
offered to advance the necessary
funds as they are needed ON these
bonds as collateral security. He
was there, he said, to procure the
sanction of the City Board to this
transaction, with the understanding
that the corporation should incur no
pecuniary liability by such sanction.
He expressed his belief that the
schools could in this way be put up
and rooted in before the end of the
year, and completed next spring.
Without it the construction of suit
able buildings for school purposes
seem likely to be indefinitely post
pOned. He said that the School |
Directors present were ready, if re-
quired, to testify to the great need |
of the schools, whose efficiency was
crippled by want of accommodation. |
The necessary sanction was granted |
without further discussion, and the |
building will commence immedi- |
ately.
The next question before the |
Board was that of the projected city |
water-wOrks. Messrs. Kennedy, |
Gracey and NJ. II. Clark were in
attendance to present the matter
before the Board. The amount of |
it is that the protector, Mr.. Travers
Daniel proposes to dispense now
with any project Of a joint stock
company and to construct the works
himself, with the aid of capitalists
who have offered to put money in
it. He asks nothing of the city but
the right of way and a guarantee
that they will rent forty hydrants
at the rate of SO per hydrant. The
city is also to have the option of
purchasing the works ten years af-
ter their construction.
On motion of Mr.. FaxOn a COM
mittee was appointed to enter into
with Mr.. Travers Dan
ieI and draft an ordinance for the
contract with him to report at the
next regular meeting. Aldermen
FaxOn, Hyman and Kendrick con-
stitute this committee.
The next question was the health
of the city. Messrs. FaxOn, Hy-
man and Dugan were appointed a
Board, with full powers,
so far as this corporation can dele
gate them to provide for the health
of the city.
a vacancy having occurred in the
Board by the removal of Mr.. George
Perkins to another ward, it was
filled by the election of Mr.. J. D.
Kendrick as Alderman for the Sec
Ond Ward.

the prevalence of yellow fever in
that city. 1t also makes special men
ton of services that hare not been
performed by certain rich men,
calling them out by name. We
know Henry Ring and for him to
come TO the front, when deeds of

than we expected from him. That
he refused to abandon the post of
danger at Memphis, in exchange
for his home of safety and comfort
here, that too, in spite of the en-
treaties of his aged mother, are facts
whereof we know and can speak.

TbeHeaIth of CIarksviIIe.

The sanitary condition of our city
is theme for thankfulness. With
a frightful pestilence raging scarcely
a degree south of us, and while our
citizens are giving o hQspitable ref
uge to those fleeing from the horrors
of their homes, not only has there
been no single case of the epidemic
fever in the city, but the ordinary
autumnal fevers, though a month
earlier than usual, are in no degree
more malignant or less amenable to
treatment than in ordinary years.
The energetic action of the Sanitary
Board in removing causes promOt-
i've of disease and the near approach
ofcOoler weather render it extremely
improbable that any epidemic WISH
tati0n il in store for us, even if the
elevation of our site above the sea
level were not considerably higher
than the yellow fever line. We
can in only one way manifest our
thankfulness for this exemption,
and that is by doing our utmost TO
alleviate the s4ferhgs of our less
happy neighbors,

public for immediate assistance
in the way of money and provisions.
The committee reported the follow
ing, which was adopted:
Whereas, The city of Memphis is now
suffering under the shadow of the wings of
no A M nl M n a
fore known, involving not only fearful
loss OF life from the prevailing fever, but
employment to the labOring classes, both
white and black, and absolute deprivation
of the necessaries of life, rendering thous-
andS destitute of money, meat, bread ana
medicines, and threatening the people re- |
naming in Memphis, as well as those who
have been removed to camps, with death |
from starvation, therefore,
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Mem |
phis now in GAINESVILLE, do earnestly appeal |
son. Stewart and Houston counties, Tenn |
esSee, and to the people of Southern |
