THE SITUATION.

. =
There is no change in the situa-
ton since last Saturday, without
perhaps, more misery and distress.
As each day closes, the setting sun
sinks to rest casting its departing
rays on households thatin the morn
ing we're free Of disease, but ere the
shadows of night had cast their
gloom, some form has succumbed
to the plague, and another "ncw
case" is added to the already long
list The few brave hearts that are
here fghting for life itself, Drawing
death in their efforts to aid the sick,
stand aghastana shudder with hor-
ror in anticipating the near future.
Yrom every mansion, cot and hovel
there comes wall of sorrow. fPhe
beautiful city of Memphis, with it's
magnificent palatial residences, is
to-day but one vast hospital camp,
where the sick are dying by hun
dreds, and in many instances from
sheer neglect. The outside world
cannot realize the true position Of
affairs. DR., Mitchell estimates that
there are exceeding three thousand
sick people in, the city. In this esti-
mate we think the Doctor has fallen
short by at least iifteenhnndred.
We have carefully noted the reportP,
and are of the. opinion Jthat fully
forty-fve hundred Of our citizens
are sick and helpless, aud in need
of medical aid and nurses. There
was arapid increase in the spread
of the disease during the latter poTr
ton of the past week, especially
among the negroes residing in the
southern portion Of the city. An
ticipating the raYageS of the cpl
demic, the Board of Health had
plead with the colored people to
leave ere they too were stricken,
They needed not the advice ci
the Board, and to-day they are sui
fering the conseqHences, and al
what q cost. The Howards find II
impossible to furnish nurses, so nu'
merous are the calls made, and the
record shows that in many instan'
ces, Notwithstanding the presenc(
in our midst of half ahuhdred ply
sicians, medical attention could not
even be secured. II some more
stringent methods are not intro
dueed to clear The city of many whC
are yet free of the disease, our cit
will soon be a charnel house, where
death will sweep away the few whc
are fighting against hope itself.
