Our inforna alton from Chattanooga,
received by private sources last night,
is that since Saturday night there
have been three deaths from yellow
fever and three new cases. All the
deaths occurred Sunday, and only one
new case was developed yesterday
Thus it will be seen that although
there are still some developments the
plague is slowly but surely disappear
ing. 1t is said that you can
now hardly tell there has
been any epidemic there all the busi-
ness houses, hotels and industrial pur-
suits are being Get in motion again,
and things begin to be lively. The
Board of Health have officially de-
clared the epidemic at end, and invite
all refugees to return, but warn them
to thoroughly air and fumigate their
houses before occupying them.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 4, 1878.
Special 40 the Chronicle.
Nothing has exceeded the hustle,
the din and the noise Of tonight.
Drums and flies and brass bands
are heard playing stirring airs
everywhere. The cannon in Edge
field echoes to those in the Thir-
teenth District. Everybody seems
to be wide awake. The streets are
crowded with throngs of people on
their way to the various rallying
points to witness the last scenes of
the canvass. The city is constantly
Illuminated with skyrockets, and bon
fires are blazing. Speakers, hoarse
from the canvass, are making desul-
tory, off-hand speeches, and, at
times, violently gesticulating, at
tended by wild outbursts of enthu-
siasm. 1t is a political carnival
with dividing lines.

THE FINAL RALLY.
Last Night by ROuk, Samsel
Rearlen and Others,

"CA eSA@A ObsA~1S'
A large crowd gathered on Market
Square last night to witness and take
part in the final Republican rally be-
fore the election to-day. The Square
was Illuminated by bonfires
Judge L. G.. Houk was the first
speaker called to the stand. He an
nounced his candidacy for Con-
gressiona honors, consuming
several minutes in the discussion of
finances, proclaiming in favor Of an
honest currency, etc., also in favor of
liberal appropriations for our rivers
and other measures. He said his elec.
ton was certain, ane he only wanted
to see how big he could make the ma
jority.
Hon. r. G. samsel, of Granger
county, Republican candidate for
State Senator, next appeared in able
and earnest defense of Republican
principles, exposing the fraud and
trickery of the Tennessee Democracy,
and asking the sutfrages of all voters
who favor honesty and fair dealing in
the administration of our State affairs.
Esq. Yardley was next called up and
announced himself for Houk for Con
gress and Ledgerwood for the Senate,
but before he could go further he was
called down.
Mr.. Pat. Mackey, then in response to
calls from GTeenbackers assembled,
took the stand to reply to Judge Houk
on the financial question and favoring |
the election Of Watkins. Before he had |
the crowd didn't seem in
clined to hear him further, and called |
tor other speakers to such an extent !
hat he couldn't proceed. Hon. David |
Richards interceded and made a few |
advising all to support the |
straight Republican ticket, and ad- |
vGsed them to hear Mr.. Mackey |
through, which they did reluctantly. |
A fIer he retired Hon. NJ. D. Bearden,
candidate for Representa-
i've came up with the closing speech, |
strongly advocating honesty in the |
of State affairs and |
placing himself squareIy on the side of
honesty and right.

A DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM,
Formulated bg a Paper that Doesnt L
the Democratic Party

Formulated bg a Paper that Doesn't Like
the Democratic Party.
Washington Special to Chicago Times.
Southern and Western Democrats who
have arrived here generally favor platform
for the Democratic party for 1880 having
the following as prominent planks: First,
the retirement of national bank notes and
the substitution therefor of United States
treasury notes; second, full reconciliation
and free coinage of the silver dollar; third,
payment of the bonds in strict accordance
with the letter of the laws under which they
were authorized to be issued. It is believed
by soft and silver money men that these
propositions will secure the united support
of all who are opposed to the continued as
cendancy of the Republican party. There is
but one sentiment among the few Democrats
who have arrived here in reference to fat or
lrredeemable currency, and that is one of un-
qualified opposition to this feature in the
platform of the National party. The silver
men assert that they are for a double stand
ard, but if single standard is insisted upon,
that standard must be the silver dollar. #
either metal, they say, is to be practically de-
monetized, gold must give way. In the
opinion of the silver men, silver and United
States treasury notes will furnish better cur
rency for the people than gold, government
paper and bank notes. Among the first
measures that will be urged for action in the
House will be Mr.. Buckner's bill providing
for the retirement of the bank notes and
putting United States notes in their place
CHS measure and various propositions for
free coinage of silver, and issuing of silver
bullion certificates will at once bring tha

financial question before the country in the
legislation of Congress. A proposition is
also being discussed in the shape of joint
resolution instructirg the secretary of the
treasury to pay out the standard silver dol
lars now IN the treasury for interest on the
public debt, and for the payment Of called
bonds to the full amount of such silver in
the treasury, and continue to do so as fast as
silver may be coined. at the last session of
congress joint resolution was passed
known as the Matthews resolution. which
declared that the interest and principal of the
bonds were payable in silver, but there was
one provision in the resolution instructing
the secretary of the treasury to make such
payments. The resolution was therefore a
mere naked declaration of an alleged right
OF the government to make silver payments
on the interest and principal of the public
debt. further resolution making it i'm
peratiye upon the secretary of the treasury to
use the silver now coined and what may here
after be coined for that purpose is proposed
and will bring into pratical operation the
resolution of Congress already passed.
The silver men declare that they are not
to be frightened from their purpose to make
silver part of the money of the country by
the action of the satanic New York bankers
who have undertaken to demonetize silver
by refusing to receive it on deposit the same
as greenbacks and gold. In view of the
foregoing the country may soon expect a
revival of the idiotio currency agitation in
Congress.

REV. KERR IN BAD BOX.

Rev. Kerr, the clerical rascal who has been
exposed by the Insane Asylum investigation,
has sent document to the Governor in re-
ply to the investigating committee. He also
sent copy to Bill Kings ring organ, with
instructions to publish it when the commit
tee made their report.
That disreputable affair perpetrated a
forgery and published yesterday bogus
document, which it alleged was the report of
the committee. It accompanied this with
Rev. Kerr's "yindication," which concludes
as follows;
In the meantime I simply ask sthat no
(further) Injustice be done me" and before the
Senate committee, when appointed at the next
| session of the legislature, my pledge will be
redeemed.
So it seems Kerr wants to secure another
| committee the coming winter and probably
hopes to pack it. He did not intend to have
this printed until the present committee had
reported to the Governor, when their func-
tons would cease. Then he could shout for
another committee.
| The r. p. has been too fast, and launched
| it prematul ely. The present committee is
still in session, and have not yet made up
their report. Rev. Kerr has ample opportu-
nifty to be heard now, and not be compelled
to await the motions of new committee
Besides it may be safer to receive justice al
the hands of this committee than to run the
risk of new one. The committee should
summon him, and ask him what more he has
| to present in the matter. He has called fol
a new committee too soon.
