Bob Ingersol,


In an interview, says that he thinks that
the Greenback movement will injure the
Republican party much more than the
Democratic party. whether that in
jury will reach as far as 1880 depends
simply upon ope thing: II resumption,
in spite Of all the resolutions to the con.
trary, insugurates an era of prosperity,
as believe and hope it will, then /,
seems to me that the Republican party
will be as strong in the North as in Its
palmiest days Of course, l regard mos,
OF the old issues as settled, and / make
this statement simply because / regard
the financial issue as the only living one
"Didn't resumption get setback BY
John Sherman's recent change of base ?
s'Yes, it did. I'm sorry that Mr. Sher
man rescinded the order with regard te
silver. Had that order remained in forct
a.fey days more greenbaeks would have
been at par. This is my Judgment, and
/ hope the silver order will be reissued.'' .
"What do you think OF the Gran
movement" ?"
II have no idea General Grant will bt
Ia candidate in 1880, although I regari
|'him as the best General the Anglo Sax
on blood has produced. OF course, Nv,
no idea who will be the Democratic can
ldidate, but / suppose the South, will b
solid for the Democratic nominee, unless
the financial question divides that sec

from yellow fever, of which 271 we're
children. Fifteen deaths occurred from
noon to 6p. m.
Yellow fever is spreading in every 10.
calitv it has not yet invaded. Algiers,
Gsetna, Carrollton, the Third District and
theentire rear surburbs, heretofore en-
joying immunity are now attacked with
great virulence. None of these localities
report to the Board of Health, and nc
statistics of the number attacked or those
who have died are kept.

MEMPHIS, September 23.-Anotber
beautiful day. The bright sunshine and
balmy atmosphere seem special blessings
sent from heaven to invigorste the few
victims Of the fever who are on the con.
valescent list: bat there were few people
to be seen on the streets during the day,
the maionty being negroes. physicians
and nurses, with few convslescentsf from
the population Of Memphis. Another
dead body, apparently that OF a negro,
was found to-day, so far decompesed as
to almost battle Identification Of race.
News from the country adjacent to
Memphis is tothe effect that the disease
is spreading among the formers. Har-
dly house but has it's case or several
cases Of fever. Nearly all such prove ia
tai, as no ph ysicians, or nurses, or medi-
cines, can be had before the disease has
completely captured the victim.
Robe:t R Cstron, recently appointed
as Associated Press Agent, seized with
the fever four days ago, but not reported
in these dispatches by special request OF
friends, died at his room in the Peabody
Hotel tonight. Catron was a case of vel.
lowfever aggravated by over work. He
was an active member of the Masonic Re-
lief Board.
