A Melancholy Story.
New YORK. Aug ia special from Gren-
ada Of yesterdays date, says Car load of flour
from Cairo reached there on Sunday: also q
car load of lime. Only two towns on the road,
Water Valley and Grand Junction, have cases
ct fever, they being citizens who fled from
Grenada. All cases so far at Grenada have
proved fatal. One fatal case has occurred at
Oxford. the home Of Senator Lamar. The cit
liens of Holly Springs sent 100 loaves of bread
to Grenada on Sunday and have invited the in
habitants to come there. Those citizens alive
here at this writing are urging each other to
leave the place, claiming that the only escape
they have from death is flight. The Howard
Association men advise all to leave, as they are
capable of taking care of the sick; but fathers
and mothers refuse to leave their children, and
children stand by their parents. The situation
ls heart rending and it looks now as if the
Howard nurses would be the only ones to leave
the place alive. W. M. Redding, telegraph
operator this place. has stood at bis post ever
since the fever broke out, working 10 or 20
hours day. All trains run through Grenada
at 25 mile an hour rate.

The Republicans in the South.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19-Ex. u. S.lAttorney Gen.
eral Alderman, who is here on trip from
Georgia as far as Boston, was interviewed to-
day by Graphic reporter and said: The in de-
pendent movement in Georgia amounts practi-
cally to nothing; that the South for time being
is solid; that the Republicans will hardly make
strong effort to organize until after the Presi-
dental election, yet the effort is worth making
in some of the Southern States; that President
Hayes civil service policy works badly in the
South for the cause of Republicanism; that
his Cancellation policy may be success but he
(Ackerman) doubted it; that Grant is the most
popular man in the United States and the
strongest nominee for the Republicans for the
next Presidency, and that Secretary Sherman
also would be strong candidate.
