4 GRADUAL SPREAD OF THE FEVER IN THE
% SOUTH.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1, 1878
The yellow fever seems to be steadily on
the increase, 26O new cases being reported
in the past 25 hours against 2s4 yesterday.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 1, 1878.
The report of the Secretary Of the Board
of Health shows 81 deaths from yellow
fever for the past "a hours. OF the 81 OIL
cially reported, Al are whites, and include
some OF the best known citizens. With the
small number of people In the city, this
death rate 4. four or five times greater than
that of1873. @
DARK FUTURE.
The impression prevails that all the
white people here will be attacked; If the
fever makes as great drafts on the working
committees of the various organizations
within the next ten days, as it has in the
past ten, there will be nobody left to direct
the efforts of the nurses and those who are
distributing supplies. The distressed and
suffering are increasing hourly and feel
ing Of dependency seems to be taking con
troll of the few good workers who are left
Doctors, nurses and undertakers, and even
the grayediggers are broken down. Many
corpses are not buried for ten or twelve
hours after death, when the health regula.
tions require their interment within four
hours. They are frequently placed in cot
fms, carried to the cemetery, and left on
the lot where the grave is to be dug, and
remain there several hours before they can
be buried. It is common occurrence for
two or three dead bodies to be found in the
same house. Many negroes seem to think
the rations were sent by the government af
present to them, and are determined tc
draw rations and loaf about town as lone
as the fever lasts. Supplies are nearly ex
hausted, and we do not know what will bt
done when they are gone. a.

AnuIseIilents.

The audience that assembled at the
Opera House last evening to witness the
Warde and Barrymore Combination, in
diplomacy was not what might be
called large, but it was very delighted
one, as it could hardly be otherwise, and
it is safe to say that those who did not
go, when they learn of the treat that has
been missed, will thoroughly regret the
opportunity that they failed to embrace
to see one of the best companies and
plays that has ever been seen in the
Grand Opera House. The piece itself is
one of absorbing interest, and from the
time the first word is spoken until the
last, holds the audience spell bound. In.
deed last evening in one of the acts the
acting was SO superb that the audience
did not desire to break the interest by
applauding, and their almost breathles.
silence spoke volumes. 1t would be un
just to speak of the acting of any one Of
the performers without mentioning all
Suffice It to say hat every one were SUI
perb in their roles.
This evening Miss Helen Potter, who
was to have appeared here on Wednes
day last, but whose appearance was post
poned on account of the rain, will appeal
at the Grand Opera House this evening
Tickets that were sold for Wednesday
last will be good for this evening.

COngrcsS Yesterday.

The third session of the Forty-fif
Congress began at noon yesterday, with
full attendance of members in both
houses. In the Senate, after prayer by
the chaplain and the appointment of
committee to wait upon the President,
consisting of Messrs. Anthony and Bay
ard, Nj essrs. Lamar, Harris and Eusts
presented resolutions for the appoint
ment of joint committee of the Senate
and House to inquire into the cause and
spread of epidemic disease in the United
States, particularly yellow fever and
cholera, ami what legislation is necessa-
ry to prevent their spread in this coun-
try. Mr.. Beck introduced bill to pro-
vide for retiring the trade dollar, and for
its recoinage into the standard silver dol
lar. Mr.. Voorhees, submitted a resolu-
ton instructing the committee on finance
to inquire into the expediency of making
the trade dellar legal-tender for all
debts, public and private, and providing
for its recoinage into the standard silver
dollar of 4124 grains. Mr.. Blaine sub
mitted resolution instructing the .judic-
iary committee to inquire whether at the
recent election the constitutional rights
Of any citizen of the United States were
violated In any State Of the Union, what
further legislation is necessary to protect
citizens in their constitutional rights, &c.
These resolutions went over under the
rules, after which the Presidents mes
sage was read, and the Senate adjourned
until to-day.
In the House, the reading of the Presi-
dents message led to an animated debate
on that portion referring to the Southern
States, Messrs. Wood aud Cox criticising
the Presidents position. Finally the
message was referred to the committee
of the whole House, and ordered printed.
The Military Academy and fertilization
appropriations bills were reported.

James r. Fields.

This most interesting of lecturers will
be with us this week and will deliver
two lectures on the evenings of Friday
and Saturday. Mr.. Fields met with such
an enthusiastic reception last winter,
that we predict full house to welcome
him on Friday evening. The sale of
reserved seat tickets commences to-day
at G. F. Thomas q Co.
The New York Tribune, before giving
full report of Mr.. Fields lecture on
Bryant, says:
"Mr. James T. Fields gave the first of
his five lectures on British and Ameri-
can poets to-day. The poet discussed
was William Cullen Rryant, and the
lecturers treatment of the great poets
work was absorbingly interesting. The
hall was crowded to overflowing, and
many were turned away from the
door, being unable to get seats. Among
the poems which Mr.. Fields read to his
delighted audience were ''The Crowded
Street," "The Future Life" "The Plant
ing of the Apple Tree" and "Thana-
topsis."

MIR. EDIToR:-I have seen Mr.. Vim
cents long article in your paper, and if |
have not already made good my objec-
tions to two of his main assertions in the
first letter in the Herald wherein he
gives himself credit, as the father of the
establishment of life saving stations all
along the coast of the United States,
south of Cape Henlopen; and, second,
that the Delaware coast was the most
dangerous coast along the Atlantic l
think l have clearly proved he is not cor
rect, but if l have not already done it to
his satisfaction, hope to do it in few
days. l am now busy with hog killing
and sailing meat, and as l never let
newspaper business interfere with private
business, l have to defer few days to
give final quietus to Mr.. Vlncent's two
assertions that took exceptions to.

New Castle Letter.

NEW CASTLE, Dec. 2.
The rumor that Mrs. Dodsen had been
allowed out of Jail ON bail was erroneous
she is yet confined.
The dread of mad dogs seems to be on
the increase in this city and every pre-
caution is being used by their owners. AS
soon as dog shows any symptoms of
sickness he is at once killed. Many own
ers have not waited that long, but dis
patched them at once.
Fears were entertained yeste rday
morning THAT we would have repetition
of the October storm. The break in the
river bank between this city and the
Delaware iron works has not been repair
ed, and at high tide the water was up to
Ninth street.
1t is certainly due this city, that the
Post Office Department furnish us a 20 It
office, no doubt, but the amount of reve-
nue. is equal to that of Dover, yet build
ing of half the cost of Dover's post off ce
would satisfy the most fastidIou, of our
citizeus. This subject should be attend
ed to, as our accommodations whilst wait
ing for the mail, on stormy evenings, are
such a" can be afforded by a few awning
posts and a bnttonwood tree, our office
being about SKI feet.
AS soon as COURTS over, a reading room
will b. opened in the Grand Jury room.
| 1t is to be hoped that this enterprise will
| receive the support of our ciuZeps, for
| our city has loug needed something of
this kind "a place where young men might
gather for improvement.
