CHATTANOOGA.

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 9.-For the first time
since the fever came amongst US, my heart
almost fails me tonight. Our working force
is almost broken down. -Four doctors of our
volunteer force are sick, leaving only Drs.
Sims Hope and Osment of the corps left,
who with Drs. Wight, Price and Curtis,
have about all the work to do. Those men
toned are doing their part. nObly, but they
need help. The Atlanta physicians did not
arrive to-day, but are looked for tonight.
Numerous calls were necessarily neglected
to-day, on account of the scarcity of phySi-
clans. Another of our most energetic COM
mitteemen, Charles Wight, brother of DIR.
Wight, is down to-day.

BOWLING GREEN, KY, Oct. Our citi-

over the death of John Hagau, resident,

case of yellow fever. His wife is down with
what is supposed to be yellow fever. A
child by the name of REILLY died a few days
ago with suspicious fever and is thought to
have contracted it from a hospital car. VIM.
Murphy, brakeman on the road, died last
night, from yellow fever contracted at Mem
phis. Everything is quiet. No new eases
of any kind of fever, and no cause for alarm.
Since writing the above, / have been in
formed that the man who dressed John
Hagan was taken sick with headache and
pain in the back, with symptoms of fever.
A physician was called to eXame him.
PARIS.

Mcneil, both colored, who have been sick

evening, Mr.. Arnold, nurse, at the railroad
hotel. Three cases in West Paris. Mrs.

weather is warm and cloudy, threatening

HUMBOLDT.
HUMBOLDT, Oct. ct is difficult to ac-
count for the outbreak of the fever in the
Dunlap family. The house stands about
seventy five yards from the track, on the
north side. It is said that newspapers and
other packages We're frequently put off
there. The family deny that, as nothing in
tervened to prevent, it is possible that the
germs were waited by the winds from Mem
phis trains and centre of infection in that
way established. No new cases. Mrs. Dun
lap is better and Mrs. Abner not so well.

REPUTATION TALK IN COLO
RADIO.

DR.. Buckingham, who has been the
Greenback candidate for Superin-
tendent of Public instruction in Col
OradO, has been badly beaten with a
large increase in the Republican
vote. Those who know attribute
this effect to some wild talk of his,
Ofwhich the following is specimen:
III were about to die to-day 1 would cast
my vote for reputation. If / were on my
way to heaven would drop ballot for re-
pudiation If l could have any influence
with angels, such shower of ballots, in ia
vor of reputation, would fall as would as
tOniSh the world. l would free the people
in this way.
This effect is going to follow from
reputation talk elsewhere as we'll
as in Colorado.
REPUTATION TALK IN VIRGINIA.
The public schools in the old
Mother of Presidents are about to
dry up for want of funds, as shown
in the following dispatch from that
State:
NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.--A dispatch from
Richmond, Va, says that Gov. Holiday and
the State Treasurer and the Auditor OF the
Public Accounts have had a conference with
some presidents of banks, the object being
to obtain a loan of S25O,O0O for the purpose OF
paying the expenses of the public schools
The schools have just been reopened, but
there Is not a dollar in the State Treasury
with which to carry them on or 10 pay the
arrearageS and salaries due them for the last
session. The teachers are clamOTous for
their pay, and in some places they have act
ually refused to begin the labOTS of the pres
ent session until they have received the
amount due them for the last. 1t is claimed
that the taxes levied and collected for the
support of the public schools have been per
vcrted TO otner uses, but principally to de-
fraying the expenses of the State Govern
ment. Gov. Holiday has set forth the
extraordinary eXigencies of the occasion
and made an earnest appeal to the bankers
for the loan, pledging himself, as the EXecu-
tive, to see that the amount would be paid
when the Legislature meets. He was Sec
Onded by the other State officials. The
bankers did not, at the conference, advance
the needed money, and it is said they are
not disposed to make the loan without the
proper security.
This is the effect of reputation
talk in Virginia.

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

A PREACHERS wife, according to
Bishop Kavanaugh's remarks to
the undergraduates last Thursday,
is a part Of his qualifications for the
Christian ministry. The grand old
Kentuckian said, 81 never prayed
more earnestly for my own saliva
ton than l did on the subject of
matrimony." He said that many
a man had gone on and done his
work well, and then some man had
picked up his wife and broke his
head with her.

THE INDIANA ELECTIONS.

Tuesday, the 8th inst, was the
day of the Indiana elections. There
is no doubt whatever that the State
is Democratic by a considerable
majority. The object of the Repub-
lican party has been to avert the
effects of that majority by the vari-
Gus devices usually resorted to for
thwarting and sitting the voice of
the people. One of these has been
the fraudulent apportionment of the
State. Numerous and populOus
Democratic counties have been
crowded together in single districts.
while others with small Republi-
can majority have been kept care
fully apart, so as to elect as many
Radicals to the Legislature as pos
sible. All this was done in the
high old Radical days when the
Democracy was paralyzed in all
departments, and was so efficiently
done that in many parts Of the State
one Republican vote counts as much
as three Democratic votes. Where
this enormous advantage was not
sufficient, Hadependefcy was the al
tentative; the Republicans nOmi-
mated no candidate, but concentrated
their force on some sore-head Dem
Ocrat who could be induced to run
as an Independent candidate and
hope to attain Office by drawing of
from the Democracy enough sore
heads like himself to convert the
Radical minority into a majority
The doubtful counties seem tC
have been Clark and Floyd 1--WE de
rive our information from the
COurier-JournaD. The trouble il
Clark is that its people are. a little
sore at the removal of the county
seat from Charleston to Jefferson
vile against the wish of a gOoC
many Democrats.
THE RECENT ELECTIONS.
None of the elections recently
held in Ohio, Illinois, West Vir
ginia and Iowa can be considered
favorable to the Democratic party
Ohio has given a decisive Republi
can vote, Indiana is very nearly
divided, Iowa is decisively Repub
lican and West Virginia records
serious Democratic losses. The
Senate in Indiana stands Republi
can, 25; Democratic, "a !; National

yellow Fever at Erin.

There seems to be no further
question of the existence of yellow.
fever at Erin. DIR. Summers, from
Nashville, who has been treating
the epidemic at Memphis and in
vestigating it Systematically, has been
requested to visit the place, and he
reports that it is yellow fever of a
malignant type. We have SO far
only heard of three deaths since
that Of DIR. Grigsby, reported last
week, but we learn that thirteen
persons are sick there, of whom it is
not stated how many have the cpl
demic disease.
Charles Humphreys, Circuit Court
Clerk, died on Friday morning, and
Mrs. Stanfil, whose husband died
early in the week, was considered
hopeless at the time we went to
press.
Clarksville has only one thing to
do under the circumstances. Hith-
erto the means she has been able to
devote to charity have been diffused
over wide area they must hence
forth be concentrated at Erin, which,
being a small place, is likely to
escape notice among the crowd of
applicants for help. 1t is said she
needs Heterogeneous must at
once be made for a regular supply.
Erin has special claims upon us and
must not be allowed to suffer for the
want of anything.
The following is the aggregate
number of deaths from yellow fever
in each of the cities and towns OF
the South and West where original
and imported cases have occurred
since the beginning of the disease
in New Orleans to last Wednesday.
The statement is compiled from the
telegraphic reports of the Courier
Journal, and will be found closely
apprOXimating accuracy:

The Cincinnati Gazette is the most

mating her population that yellow
fever alone is talked of or even
thought of. Wherever Christian

Louisiana is not spoken of except in

BEN. HILL AND THE PRESIDENT.


Ben. Hill, of Georgia, is out with
an open letter to somebody in
Georgia announcing his discovery
that Rutherford Hayes is not only
the result Of a fraud but a stupen-
dous fraud himself. Better late
than never. Ben. certainly made
himself at home in the White House
in the early days of the reign of
King Rutherford, a great deal more
than was good for his reputation in
the South, but it is only just to take
his word for it that he honestly be-
lieved in Hayes honesty then; not
we. From the days when we re-
fused to gush with the gushers at
Louisville in the year one of the
present reign we have taken no
stock in him. His professions were
too much In the style of Joseph Sur
face and Mr.. Pecksniff to go down
with us, but we are glad to learn
that Benjamin, of Georgia, has come
to the same opinion, and we here
present some of his structures on the
fraud of the White House:
