MEMPHIS. TENN THURSDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER s. 1873

The Israelite, a Cincinnati pubh-
cation, is assailing the yellow fever
States for appealing to other mem
bers Of the Union instead OF help
ing themselves, and a Cincinnati
daily journal is kind enough to
say: at is not the first time the
doctrine of states rights has been
set at naught in the house of those
who professed to hold it most sa-
cred" Nothing could be more
praiseworthy than the efforts Of a
town, city, or State to help itself;
but the States, cities and towns of
the South where the plague has
been raging are not rolling in
wealth. The whole South is poor,
and her policy of buying freely in
the North and West is not enrich
ing her. Sending to other commu-
mites for aid ig the very last
thing, perhaps, that any city
should do, but in the midst
of a raging epidemic, immediate
relief is the necessity, and it is
hardly to be expected that the
authorities of of a stricken city,
with so great a responsibility resting
upon them, will be over-nice in
seeking relief. Boston is the only
city of the Union that is perfectly
independent in distress, but we car
not all be Bostons-at least not all
all once. 1t would be well fol
Southern cities and towns to estab.
lish a system Of relief by which
they could help each other prompt
ly, and cease to look for anything
more costly than advice from oul
wealthy Northern brethren. ThO
habit Of accepting aid is a bad on,
for an individual or a community
and whatever can be done towar,
preventing the necessity of receiy
ing it is seemly. To be fed ant
euffed at the same time is alway
confusing, aud often deyilish un
pleasant. Courier -JOarnd.

The death Of Butler P. Anderson

no one to take his place. We eel

Bile, philanthropic heart beat in his
stalwart frame. He knew no fear.
Honesty was emblazoned on his
countenance. His purposes were
the highest and best. In all the
relations, Of life he was sincere,
frank, generous. While very positive
in his convictions and opinions he
was too generous to be bigoted or
proscriptiye. His nature was too
grand and symmetrical to admit Of
small actions. He came Of a family
distinguished for public services,
and the virtues and excelienCies Of
character which command I'D,
miration. His father was promi-
nent citizen of Middle Tennessee,
in earlier days of our history as a
State. His brother Gen. Patton
Anderson, was one Of the most
distinguished Of our Confeder-
ate leaders. Butler Anderson was
educated for a lawyer, and entered
the bar at an early age. lie edited

quite a young man, over twenty
years ago, and welded a bold, facile
pen. Some years before the war he
went to California, then to Oregon
and finally to British Columbia,
where he lived during the war be-
tween the States. But old ties and
love for his State and section
brought him back here some ten OF
twelve years ago, and he entered
upon the practice Of law, After
the death of Gen. Patton Anderson
he was elected to fill his place in
an important Office created for the
purpose of collecting State revenue
from certain classes Of dehnquents.
This he held, if we are not mistak-
