Appeo1s for assistance.


BATON ROUGE, Sept. 30.-The Howard
association and Mayor make the
following statement and appeal: ''We thought
ten days ago that the generous and munifcent
response to our appeal for help for our needy
sufferers would have more than supplied our
wants, but it is apparent now that unless we
receive more assistance there will be great
suffering in our midst. While We have been
fortunate compared to other places in our
death llst we have had over LOO cases of
yellew fever, many Of which we are satisfied
would have proved fatal had it not been for
the timely aid extended us from abroad. Our
reports for several days past show an average
OF over fifty new cases daily. Our means are
nearly exhausted, and without assistance there
Will be great loss of life and suffering.

HANLAN-coURTNEY MATCH.

MONTREAL, Sept. 30.-As the day approaches
for the Hanlan- Courtney match interest is
everywhere intensified beyond all precedent
constant succession of kilograms is received
from all parts of the United States and Canada
as well as from England for information show
the widespread and anxious feelings evinced
by the great international contest. The men
themselves take the matter like philosophers
discussing the pros and cons without apparent
ly being conscious of the interest they are in
spring at present in the hearts of their coun-
trymen. Hanlan and his immediate friends
express the utmost confidence in the result
They all appreciate and weigh at their proper
value the chances which contestant in such
an event must take and in hazarding their
opinions they weigh their words with the most
becoming circumspection. Hanlan, as well as
his club confreres hold an exalted opinion of
Courtney Oarsman. HanIan said he felt
great responsibility devolving upon him in
meeting such man in an international con-
test. It would be probably the hardest he had
undertaken, when the latter's wonderful record
was considered. He had also good opinion of
the Americans style of rowing, which has
been admired by every one who has seen it at
Lachine.
Courtney did not venture on the water yes
terday at all. Beyond going out for walk in
the morning. he took no. exercise during the
day, remaining close prisoner in his cottage
all the evening" seemingly counting the gaze of
curious crowds who surrounded his cottage.
He was in fine spirits, and in his own modest way
expressed himself confident of doing his own
share in the event near at hand. With the
werther on Wednesday as fine as to-day, and
the course as smooth, he remarked, ''the race
will be great success"
Hanlan went out for spin this morning,
remaining nearly an hour during which time
he and Courtney came together on the lee of
the Isle of Dorval, when they had quite a
brush. To all appearances Courtney got the
better of the squirt, but it is well understood
neither were pulling their best. A num-
Der of Courtney's friends and hackers arrived
from the city this morning, and expressed
great confidence in their man.

A SIX DAYS TRAMP


NEW YORK. Sept. 3O.-At O. clock this morn
ing Daniel O'Leary, of Chicago. and John
Hughes, of New York, commenced their six
days tramp at Gilmore's Garden. The contest
is for the Sir John d. Ashley belt 81, 900 in
In addition portion of the gate money goes
to the winner. Four hundred persons, includ-
ing several ladies, assembled at the Garden to
see the start.
Up to 10 A. NJ, Hughes, within 8 hours rs
minutes and 48 seconds, from the time of
starting, had accomplished SO miles, while
O'Leary had just completed his 18th mile.
Time 8 hours minutes and seconds. He
started off on a run, as he did in Central hall,
last April. while O'Leary commenced his tramp
with steady, elastic walk. At the start Harry
Hill made bet of 800 to $75 on O'Leary. and
$1,000, but no one would take him. A bet of
$400 to 5000 on O'Leary was taken and the
money put up. From the start Hughes has
done very little walking, starting off every once
in while on sort of dog trot, while O'Leary
has made his time by walking alone. P. NJ.
O'Leary had walked ~ miles and Hughes 78
miles. Both men will keep on walking until
l o'clock tomorrow morning. At present,
Hughes will probably finish 100 miles by half
past nine this evening, and O'Leary's friends
say that he will not be half an hour behind
him, though it is not probable that the latter
lead Hughes has gained by running The bet
ting is 8 to 1 on O'Leary.
After completing eighty-seven miles Hughes
at 20 minutes to o'clock, retired and remain l.
ed off the track two hours and twenty minutes.
Near 10 O clock he started on his eighty-eighth
mile, but after making seven laps he left the
track lame and sick and went to bed. He is
suffering from sore feet and sick stomach. At
20 minutes to IL o'clock O'Leary was over
fifteen miles ahead of Hughes, and was still
walking hriskly.

Aug. 31st 1877. 1875, 463.551; eight months

for such commission. Fortunately
a noble lady, Mrs. Elizabeth Thorn cson, of
New York, actuated by the same motives that
prompted the citizens of Memphis, addressed
me asking what she could do toward the great
end in view and pledged an amount to
start general subscription for the purpose.
My reply led her to say that she would, if
necessary, contribute sufficient to meet the
expenses of commission provided I would
promptly undertake its organization and direct
a thorough investigation of the causes of the
epidemic, with the view Of preventing such
deplorable visitations of yellow fever in the
future.
In view OF the foregoing, and acting upon
the advice of members of the American public
health association, an organization represent
ing all sections of our country, have appoint
ed Prof. S. w. Bemiss NJ d., Of New Orleans,
jerome Cochrane M. D., of Mobile, and a third
member whose acceptance has not yet been re-
celved, to act as such commission. DIR. Elisha
Harris, president of the American public health
association, has consented to ipin the yellow
fever commission in the field about the Goth of
October. Should the contributions of money
be sufficient, or congress direct, two or three
scientific experts will be attached to the COM
mission for the purpose of extending your line of
inquiry as far as practicable and useful into
the nature and causes and conditions governing
the disease itself.
l have instructed the commission that the
great ODJecL OF the investigation should be to
CLEAN all the important facts possible to be OBJ
tanned which have reference to measures of
prevention Of future epidemics. The work will
be commenced at New Orleans, and as many as
possible of the afflicted cities and towns will be
visited before the 10Th of November next
on which day the American Public
Health association will convene in special
session to review the facts which the commits
sion shall have gathered up to that time. With
the view of determining the best course to be
pursued by the commission, including it's
labor, being charged with the execution of the

POLITICAL NOTES.

Congress viii go to-day, but it won't be forgotten
till after election.
There Is n widespread conviction that this coun-
try is about to have a mercful deliyeance.
Stanley Matthews is not uttering clamorous re-
gres that his career as a statesman is nearing its
end.
Six months of freedom from craftsmanship" will
give the country enough Of prosperity to muzze the
demagOgues for a time at least.
Mr. Potter will have the field all to himself, pres
emily, and should rattle along the rest Of those per-
uries and limpng forgeries and give weary people
a Summer of peace.
It looks rather funny for the State which con-
tributes Butler to the National cOunsels to put on
airs and assume lofty consequence because of its
eXuberant civic virtue
Ewing and the other imitation orators keep up
their hullabaloo till the last Their perpetual noise
is all they have to show as the work of a whole ses
sion. Let us DO thankful for that.
The committee which is to investigate tho hard
times and the labor problem won't burrow O great
ways before it strikes Fernando Woods Tariff bill.
That did moro 20 continue aud harden the hard
times than any other dozen influences
viii some of the able editors who are so over
wholmod with the patriotism of tho Democratic
party in declaring that the Presidents title shall
not be disturbed, calm themselves long enough to
answer one question Does any reasonable man
suppose that the House would have passed Mr. Bur-
chard's resolution if the Republican press had not
raised the cry of revolution and kept it up per-
sistently as co alarm the people In other words,
did not Congress refuse TO say the purpose was re-

1t is limited that Mr.. WattersOn went to Washing
ton with the expectation of being summoned be-
fore the&otter Committee, to tell what he knew
about fraud in Louisiana. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. WattersOn was one of the Democratic
statesmen who went down in the Fall Of 1876
to witness the count" and that he began TO yell
fraud tho minute he reached the scene of action
and kept it up till he left. He wasn't able to detect
any fraud, but he swOre 1t was going on all the
time. Mr. Potter seems to have tired of this sort
of testimony for he did not invite Mr.. WattersOn to
the wtness-stand.
Anderson's exit from journalism was not alto

party but when we look over the partys
record and see what they have done in the
past, we are prepared not to be surprised even
at this. There were signs pointing IN that
direction in the session of Tuesday, when tins
veteran howled himself red in the face on
the Fisheries Award bill, and MIR. Samuel Cox
of all men in the world, Mr.. Samuel
Cox-added to the confusion by asking the
House TO give him hearing. The reunion OF
Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Butler is a significant fact.
Let us hope they may stay together. They
agree perfectly on the currency question, the
labor question, socialism, communism, the
Presidents title, the eight-hOur question,
and very likely the temperance question; and
there seems no good reason why they should
not lay aside their differences on the "shoo
"1yn question, and act together in the Demo-
cratic party for their own reelection and the
rights of man. With these two acting to-
gether in that party-but we will not pursue
the subject it seems like cruelty.
