THE Marion Monitor is reckless in its
charges against Judge Allen. 1t is entirely
lost to truth if not to forgiving grace.
Among its charges is one that Judge Allen
was elected to congress in 1869 by the
Knights of the Golden Circle. The truth is,
Judge Allen never had anything TO do with
the Knights. He never belonged to the
organization, and took every occasion to
condemn it as an unwise as well as unpatri
otto organization.

THE deaths from yellow fever at Mem
phis Tuesday were POS, an increase over the
preceding day Of nearly 100. While con-
sdering this fact, the curious may find food
for speculation in the condition of the
weather at that place day before yesterday,
The daily bulletin OF the signal service
contains reports from eighteen places. On
Tuesday at 3 ;4G o'clock p. m the thcrmom-
eter stood at 62 degrees at Memphis, IS at
Cairo, SO at New Orleans, 50 at Vicksburg,
81 at st. Louis. and 60 at st. Paul and
iankton. The weather was cooler at Mem
phs than at any other place in the whole
country, excepting at La Crosse, Wisconsin,
where the thermometer stood at IS; Omaha,
Nebraska, where it stood at 81, and ST. Paul
and Yankton. The change in the tempcra-
ture was fall of % degrees at Memphis, a
greater change than occurred at any other
place. At Cairo the change was 1G degrees
of fall at New Orleans degree of a rise,
and at Vicksburg only s degrees Of fall.
The relative per cent. of humidity was 70
at Cairo, "A at Vicksburg So at New Or
leans and Oh at Memphis. A study of these
facts must lead to the conclusion that the
alarming fatality of the fever at Memphis
is attributable to condition of the atmos-
phere peculiar to that place.

not giveup the work of endeavoring to build
up its commerce. Invitations are issued for
delegates from the different commercial bo-
dies of the West to attend the Commercial

severe atfliction which that portion of
the South is undergoing, presses hard
upon its business interests. Sympathy
should be Tor the con-
dition in which trade will be left, even after
the frost has killed the fever. The subjects
to be discussed at the convention are The
improvement Of the Mississippi river and its
tributaries; the necessity Of Southern Pa
citic railway and the promotion Of our COM

South America. We heartily join in the
hope Of the committee issuing the call, that
the railway, steamboat and shipping inter.
