SIGHTS IN THE STRICKEN CITY.

SltdIS IN The STRlChEN CITY.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-D:. VIM. T. Ranney.
one of the physicians who went to Memphis
with corps of Washington nurses, has return
ed to Washington in company with DR.. L.
Pease and Mrs. Wales. In an interview DR..
Ranney said: Before reaching Memphis, and
when five miles out, the air was laden with
yellow fever poison, and as we approached the
city its stencil was absolutely sickening. DIR.
Pease and myself went to the Peabody hotel,
the only one now open, and were shown into
room from which dead lady had been
removed. The vessels of black vomit
were standing about the room and the
bed clothes had not been changed.
The hotel itself is perfect pest house, and
the victims of disease in two-thirds of the
rooms. Sulphur pans were kept burning in
the halls, and clothes and bedding con-
stantly disinfected, but they cannot get half
enough in the hotel to do half what should be
done. Commerce has ceased, and business of
nearly every kind is suspended. The people
have no heart to attempt any regular business,
and could not if they would. Even the liquor
saloons for the most part, are closed, and the
provision stores are rule are empty. The
greatest need is provisions clothing, physi-
clans, money, nurses and medicine. The best
thing can be done now is to send plenty of pro-
visions and clothing. Negroes and many whites,
for a section of $50 miles around Memphis,
have focked in there, hearing they could get
something to eat, and as for clothing, hundreds
of poor persons are going about the streets, es-
pecially colored women, with hardly any
thing on at all. The sights in this respect are
distressing. So far serious outbreak has
occurred. but the better classes are in constant
terror of riot. The city is IN the hands of the
colored police altogether, and while they be-
have very well there is still lurking fear on
the part IF the whites of some additional
evil.

BosToN, Sept. l3.-The Democrats last even
ing elected 18 Butler and 10 anti-Butler dele
gates to the State convention. The Democrats
of Taunton elected 81 delegates, all ror Butler.
Brocton and Hopkenton elected anti-Butler
delegates.
New ORLE ANS, Sept. 13.-The political cam
paign is beginning to develop briskly. The
National party, headed by Mr.. T. Hatch, an
old Democrat and collector of the port during
the war, has telegraphed to Gen. Beauregard,
now in New York, offering him the place at
the head of the State ticket, in opposition to
Major Burke, the regular Democratic nominee.
The negro vote solid is pledged to Gen.
Beauregard. In this offer there has been a
fusion between the Nationals and Republicans.
The Republican convention which meets in
this city on the 18th will not make, it is under
stood, any nominations. They allow the
Nationals to nominate State and county
tickets as they do Co members of Congress
from the city district. The number of regis
tered votes is now about IL .00O OF those over
5000 are negroes, and the Nationals claim l 800
also. The fever will keep a large number of
Democratic refugees from registering in time
to vote. The registry closes on the Goth of No
vember. Arrests were made to-day by the
United States martial, based upon afidavits
before the United States commissioner, by
members of the National party, Of all the
clerks of registration in the Third ward. The
warfare promises to be active in this way as
the Democrats are prosecuting negroes for
false registration.

carload, by the boat-load, they came in lum-
Der wagons and on foot, bareback and in car
riages; they rained down and they came up out
of the ground. Perhaps the graves gave up
their dead and the quiet river it's dead. They
came, they saw and it they did not conquer it
was their own fault. Some of the fair ones
were charming enough to conquer the heart Of

mated at from 5000 to Is, 600. careful esti-
mate from the best sources of information

not be ignored in the matter. That enter

held out with the most intense interest.

good horses in both, and they went for all there
was in them. The first called was the 2:43
class, for purse of s20O-s1O0, $50 and $40.
Three horses started - Chester, Mambrino
Prince, and Daisy Dean. The crowd yelled for
a new driver on Mambrino Prince the third
heat 80 the judges ordered Frank Hall down,
and they put up Red Wing man by the name
of Matthews. A little bad blood was
engendered in consequence, which eliminated
after the race was over in slight skirmish
between some of the parties. No serious re-
suits came of it, owing to the efficient police
force and the immediate presence of the chief
marshal. Sheriff Chandler and his assistants.
It promised at one time to be quite an exten-
sive row, but fortune favored the brave, and it
was nipped in the bud. little additional
flame to an already fred up crowd sometimes
stlrs up vast amount of mischief. The en-
deavor no doubt was uncalled for, but the
judges were not to blame, for they simply re-
sponded to the clamoring of large number of
the on-lookers. AS it was the new driver did
not improve the speed of Mambrino. On the
contrary, he broke him up several times and
caused the horse to cut himself. The score
stood as follows:
