Yellow Fever i'm CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, July 3l.-ConsiderabIe excite
ment was caused here yesterday by the re-
port that a case of yellow fever had been dis
covered at the Grand Hotel, the largest and
finest Of our hotels. 1t appears that on Satur-
day morning last MIR. William Hines, OF New
Orleans, wealthy cotton broker, arrived here,
accompanied by his wife. They came by rail,
having left New Orleans the day before. es.
terday Hines complained OF feeling unwell and
physician was called 10 TO sec him, when
Mrs. Hines expressed fear that yellow fever,
which they had left home to escape, had at.
tackled him. A council Of doctors vas called
last night and they pronounced it that terrible
nalady. This caused CONSERVATION in the
hotel, and Df. Minor. health officer of the
city, was appealed to to have the sick man ro.
moved. lie at once undertook it, but the
superintendent Of tho hospital objected to re-.
ceiVing him. After good deal Of discussion
the health officer announced that he should BIO
admitted if he had to take him 10 behind de-
tachment of police, aud the superintendent
gave 10. At this stage new obstacle pre-
sented itself 10 the fearful protest OF the wills
of the sick man, who said 1t was believed GER
tain death to yellow fever patient to remove
him, The health officer insisted, however,
that The public health demanded it, and With
the aid Of colored servant carried him down
to the ambulance and took him to the hes
pital. while Mrs. Hines and physician tol
lowed walking. At one o'clock this morning
he was received into q private ward, and his
wife and physician have been IN constant at
tenda1c, on him ever since. The case is pro-
nounoad we'll de62ed one Of yellow fever,
though not of the worst character as yet.

The leaders of the mob tyranny upon INDUS
tfious workingmen at Washington are good
examples. says the Baltimore American, OF the
sort Of rascals who endeavor to engineer the
so. called labor m9ements. Cohen and Graham
have been levying collections upon the poor
dupes they gathered around them by their wild
hsrrangues, and have been living rather com
fortably upon that income, raised ostenslb'y, ol
course, for ''the good Of the cause. y They
might havs kept up their swindle almost lodeh
nitelg except that Graham became agrIeVed
because he did not get what he considered his
fair share of the plunder. So ho exposed the
whole business, and the Washington working
men may perhaps escape for a while being the
prey of similar depredators upon their scanty
wages. But Graham and Cohen arc simply
types Of q class that embraces kearney and
most of the other blatant demagogues who are
earning livelihood by stirring up strife.
