THE YELLOW FEVER.

The Memphis Appeal of Sunday last
prints what may prove to be its last
mortuary table of the present epidemic.
1t lacks only five days of covering peri
cd of three months, against two months
and nine days in 1878. The deaths in
1878 numbered 1899; this year, 3,O7s.
The disease made its appearance, this
year, on the first of August. Five years
ago it came just month later. The
greatest mortality any one day in 1878
was IS, on the 10th Of October; this year
It was I27 on the 14th of September. In
1878 the epidemic continued one month
from the day OF its greatest mortality
this year it lasted nearly month and q
half. Three in every seven who were
attacked died, malignancy that is with
out parallel, we believe, elsewhere in
the south.
The New Orleans Republican contains
a statement for that city, down to the
same date, October 90. The mortality
was not as large as in Memphis, thu
greatest number of deaths in any ont
day having been 80. This was on th'
18th of September, three days before the
day Of maximum mortality in Memphis
But the disease has not abated in New
Orleans as il has done in the other city
Not single day in New Orleans hai
the number Of deaths been as low as 10
while in Memphis there has been bu
one day since the 18th Of October
when the deaths have been as many a
10. Even as late as the 21st, the death
numbered A, and the next day AZ. I
was as far back as the 2Sth of Septem
her that the figres in Memphis reacheC
so high mark. Although the epidemic
has hung on in New Orleans with NOR
tenacity than in Memphis, it has neve
assumed so malignant a type. This i
shown by the fact that the entire mum
Der OF deaths has been absolutely less
and relatively much less, and by tn
other fact that the deaths to the tota
number of cases stand In ratio Of abou
/ one to 81.

OUR BONDS ABROAD.

Not long since our officials at Wash
ington gave their Endorsement to reports
which had previously gained currency,
but which seemed almost too good to be
true, to the effect that all but about
$500, 100000 of our government bonds
held abroad had already come home. 1t
is specially pleasant now to get the en-
dorsement of the first financial authority
in England to the same statement. The
London Economist of Oct 10Th, repeat
ing the above statement as having been
made here, adds;
This accords with the estimates made
on this side, and it is evident that if the
Withdrawals continue at this rate the
available supply of bonds in European
markets must before long show signs of
exhaustion. On the bullion movements
between this country and the states, this
transfer of debt has an important bear
ing. Our trade Indebtedness to the
states has of late been rapidly increasing,
and it has been liquidated mainly by the
| transfer of bonds. If the supply of
bonds were to fail, considerable ship
ments of gold hence would probably re-
quire to be made, especially as the cot
ton bills are now beginning to affect the
market And even if we do not require
to ship gold, it is obvious that the great
reduction in the interest payments to
Europe must tend to restrict the sup
plies of bullion which we have been ac-
customed to derive from America.
There has already been a marked aItera-
ton in this respect, for while in the first
eight months of 1876 the net export OF
gold from the states amounted to 5,113,-
O0Ol, in the corresponding period of this
year it amounted to only 122 ,O00l.
If we could gea our debt all held al
home, incl aling :.ie immense amount
of railroad ~ Is which have been
bought by Eaf.,:,.an capitalists, a rea
sonable degree of care and judgment
could maintain the currency on coin
redemption basis for much longer pc
Rod than ever before in our history.
