YELLOW FEVER MORTALITY AT New
ORLEANs.-The maximum of deaths by
yellow fever at New Orleans in any one
day up to the present time was was 103,
and it has been estimated that at the eli
max of the epidemic the mortality would
reach $50 deaths daily. This is an ar-
palling figure, yet it is considerably be-
low the maximum of several former pla-
CUES. In 1858 the highest figures were
254 deaths, on August %, and for some
time the deaths were as many as 7SO per
diem. That season some 1900 person.
out of $4,000 died of the pestilence.

"John Kelly's government" is a much

Thurman ON the situa tlOn-He Thinks
the Party mas q snlIn Rennrn

NEW YORK, June 26.-The HeratFs Column
bus Ohio special says that Senator Thurman
has stated that the Democratic party was
never. in better condition for contest than
this fall; their record In Congress has been
excellent; they had done much work. and of
that character which must be acceptable to the
people. They had strengthened their claims
the silver bill by stopping contraction Of
greenbacks, which was In effect the same as
the repeal of the resumption act, and de-
creased the expenses of the government. He
was satisfied that the Potter investigation
would do the Democratic party great good as
long as Hayes title is not assailed.
Resolutions will be adopted indorsing the
action Of Congress relative to the Potter in
yestigation and Hayes title, and thoroughly
indorsing the Presidents Southern policy on
the ground that it is sound Democratic doc
triup.

Weber and their friends were all enemies of
Anderson from the beginning, they never

party. Hence her wish to deceive him. She
also feared him, recognizing at that time that
he would have too much power II given any
document which he could use.

Chapter H-What the widow KettelIs
Knows of Plymouth shortcomings.
NEW YORK, June 26-The Star saws that
when Mrs. Kettelle, the young widow and
Bible scholar Of Plymouth Bethel, publicly
assaulted Rev. f. l.. Smith, moral and spir-
itual protector of that institution, and even
went SO far as to call him liar and sedu-
Ger, the general opinion was that she had
taken, very imprudent steps, and that she
would surely find reason to repent her folly.
Since then Plymouth Church, through one
OF its multifariOus investigating committees,
has taken up, her case and sifted it in true
Plymouth fashion, and the people became
convinced that the young widow had attacked
an adversary whose power was unknown to
her.
She was told by Plymouth Church that II
regarded her, as the Rev. Frank claimed he
did, as person of little or no character, and
that the best thing she could do was TO
abandon her charges and leave for distant
parts
Imbued with virlle reformatory purpose,
MIS-. Kettelle, however, does not seem to be
that sort OF woman, and seems inclined to
make strong fight for the truth of her asser-
tlons about the novel character of the Plym-
outh Bethel pastor She again repeats her
charges and says she will prosecute Mr..
Smith until Plymouth Church even will be
convinced OF bis guilt and cast him out from
the $4,000 position he now holds. In what way
she expects to do it she is unwilling to say at |
present She claims that letters have been |
received by her since the committee decided |
her allegations against Smith not proven, |
trying to frighten her from doing anything |
further. She claims that neither she nor her
brother can be frightened by such threats as |
those contained, and declares that enough |
evidence can be gathered against Smith in |
Rochester. where he formerly preached. to |
tamn him In the sight Of every unpreiudiced |
person.

FavOrs q Convention.
Madison Journal

The New Orleans DEMOCRAT has an ex-
haustive article ON the subject of a constitu-
tional convention for Louisiana, and it's reason
ing is sound and forcible. The Journal held
all along that the patches proposed for the
present constitution would not meet the wants
Of the people and only tend to burden the
present constitution. The people want to wipe
out the past and begin anew, now that repre-
sentative men will have voice in fixing the
fundamental rules for the government Of the
commonwealth. In this section, so far as we
have ascertained, the general sentiment is In
favor Of the convention, and the only formid-
able opposition we hear Of at all in North Lou
isiana comes from Ouachita parish, and there,
we think, there was something slightly per-
sonal that intensified the division and gave
unusual importance to the local campaign for
delegates. The indications are that the Qua
chita delegates will be with small minority,
the convention men being at Baton Rouge In
such numbers as to leave no doubt about a
great victory. We agree with the DEMOCRAT
that the present constitution is not an ex-
preston Of the free and honest will Of the
people, who look forward to it's wiping out as
to new evangel.
