The following explains itself:
| New ORLEANS Sept. ITO the friends of tn,
sick and destitute Of New Orleans! In tn
Washington dispatches to-day, we find caro-
from Representatives Gibon and Ellis, intended
to explain the working of the three leading
beneficiary organizations for the relief of thu
destitute sick from yellow fever through ths
Howard Association, the Peabody Subsistence
association the y. NJ. G: A., in which our associa
tion is said to be engaged in looking up cases OF
to the Howard and Peabody Associations fol
| relief. The facts are these: On the Goth OF
| August our association resolved itself into a
| relief committee to help and administer to the
| sick and destitute from yellow fever. On the
22d we opened; and from that time have taken
charge of, and cared for entirely, over 800 cases
of yellow fever, without tegafd to race, color
who hive
generously volunteered, nurses, medicine, food
and money when needed. Our Wcik;ng force of
visitors to the sick is full and efficiently organA
lied. We are in full sympathy and cordially ope-
rate with the Howard and Peabody Associations,
but we are m Independent and responsible Or
nitted to our hands. We have thus far done
our work efficiently; economically and faithful
ly and shall continue to 60 it. Our resources
are limited-not at all in proportion to the
work imposed on us by the sickness and desti-
tuition that we arc called upon to relieve and
recognition throughout the country as an effec-
tive Channel through which the benevolence of
the charitable can be dispensed. {signed) VIM.

MEMPHIS Ar XooN.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 1.-THE fever continues u1i'
abated and many active workers among the
sick are being stricken down. A. J. Wheeler,
secretary of the Masonic relief board, is dying
Four nurses IN the employ Of the board have
died and four others are sick. ;. B. Cook, ar
chiteet, and Dir. d. D. Saunders are down with
the fever. REV. G. G. Parsons, rector of Grace
Episcopal church, died last night; also Mrs.
Ann Philmont and Frank Gates son, Samuel
W. Gates. Miss Mollie Gates is down with the
fever. The physicians and nurses from Wash
ington reported for duty to the Howard asso,
ciatio1i this morning. There is a pressing need
for experienced nurses; $40 per day have been
| vainly offered for nurses and many sick lie IN
their rooms without proper attention., owing tt
| the inability of the relief associations to sup
ply many calls for nurses. Although there are
many negroes in the city, few can be persuaded
! to wait upon or even approach a SICK person,
while majority of those Offering as nurses fol
| the big pay offered are inefficient. Fifty -foul
deaths are reported up to noon to-day, and 1Os
for the twenty-four hours ending at noon.

never better. The Howard association sent

business men and others are in receipt of nu

state that the city ia as healthy and free from
epidemic rs it ever was. The general health o
