CAPT. EADs, of jetty fame, is in
Washington talking up his great
project of connecting the two oceans
at the Isthmus of Darien by means
of a gigantic railroad which will
take ships bodily over. All that is
necessary is a railroad big enough,
and trucks strong enough. The car
is to be made in the shape of a era
die, and run under the ship, taking
her out of one ocean, and landing
her in the other, cargo and all. in
tWenty-four hours, He willremain
In Washington until he has brought
his plan to the attention of the gov
eminent. The cost, he says, will
he three-fourths less than the pro-
posed canal. Captain Eads is in
the highest spirits over the success
of his jetty plan, and if he can get
government encouragement, will
embark in the inter-ocean project
with all the energy and meney he
can command.

SCANDAL HIGH PLACES.

Gossip has for some time been
busy with the names of Roscoe
Conkling and Mrs. Sprague, wife of
Ex-Governor Sprague, of Rhode
Island. This talk was brought to a
climax by the occurrence of a scene
at Narraganset Pier on the Sth of
this month, when Mr.. Sprague sud-
denly arrived at his house, and
finding the New York Senator
there, ordered him out, pointing a
shotgun at him. This is all that is
absolutely known, but it has given
rise to an infinity of rumors, which
we suppress. The unpleasant point
in the matteFis that COnkling caused
to be inserted in New York papsr
a paragraph attributing the SANDER

to a difficulty between Mr.. Sprague
and a Pref. Lincke, who was teach
ing his children. This has been
proved false, and its publication
produces an impression on the pub
lie mind strongly unfavorabIe to
Mr.. Conkling.
AS soon as the truth is definitely
known we shall publish it; mean
time the rumors which are SO copi-
ously invented to crafty prurient
curiosity will be omitted by US, as
were those which arose from the
Beecher scandal.

THE Laadyille Chronicle says;
There isn't a potato to be had in
Leadville for affection nor money.
There have not been but two sacks
here In a week. One of these was
purchased for the Clarendon and
the other for the Grand. They each
weighed one hundred pounds and
cost fifteen dollars, or fifteen cents
per pound. Among the stingy old
misers down on earth called farmers,
one of these sacks of potatoes would
have been considered dear at fifty
cents.

OF the forthcoming "History,"
by Hon. Jefferson Davis, a gentle
man, who has visited him at Beau
vOir, Miss, writes: at is impossi-
bic to Over-estimate the caution and
carefulness with which Mr.. Davis
has worked upon his History of the
Rebellion. He feels that his will
be the authoritative defense of the
cause of his people, and he fully APP
preciates the gravity Of his task, /
doubt if the South has ever produced
a more thorough scholar than Mr..
Davis. His book will represent the
steady, devoted work of his best
and ripest years, and it will be a
pride to the South no more as vim
dication than as classic"

MEMPHIS.
The Yellow Fever.
Special to the American.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 13.-The serenity |
of the situation was somewhat dis |
turbed, to-day, by the resignation |
of Hon. John Johnson, Superinten-
dent of Quarantine and a member
of the State Board of Health. This
morning he sent the following dis
patch to President Plunket "My
resignation as a member of the
Board of Health of the State of
Tennessee and Superintendent of
Quarantine at Memphis goes for
ward by the next mail, and all Off
cial connection with said Board, as
member thereof, or as Superintend-
ent of Quarantine, ceases from this
time, reserving to myself, at the
proper time, the right to ask an in
vestigation and decision upon my
acts by the State Board of Health"
The resignation is universally re-
GREETED. No man in Memphis pos
sessed the respect and confidence of
the community to greater degree
than John johnson. He has been
in the front ranks since the out
break of the fever and has done
more for Memphis and her people
than all the combined members of
the National Board of Health. Mr..
johnson refused to give the public
his motive for reSigning, but enough
is known to state that he feels his
longer remaining a member of the
State Board might interfere with
the harmony that ShOnld exist be-
tween it and the parent board at
Washington. John johnson is a
worker and does not believe in
standing idle when death is march
ing in solid columns to the attack.
He has been the only member of
the State Board that has faced the
enemy and has accomplished much
toward depopulating Memphis. He
has worked early and late. Your
correspondent has been with him
during midnight ride to Raleigh,
1 Tenn, whittier he went to isolate
/ the dwelling in which the Athy
family were sick. He has never
failed to respond to the call of duty,
and always leads, instead of follow
ing. A telegram from President
Plunket, at Nashville, received this
afternoon says that the State Board
refuses to accept his resignation.
Twenty-three cases were reported
to the Board of Health today.
A CANVASS was closed yesterday
in the State of Tennessee which has
no parallel in American history,
and of course, therefore, none in
the history of the civilized world.
The State owes a debt of $24 900 900,
in round numbers, running at + per
cent interest and the proposition
on which a vote was taken yester-
day was whether one half, or $12,-
000, 900, of the debt should be COM
pletely and forever repudiated, and
the interest on the remainder be
paid at the rate of per cent. only.
The curious and almost comfcal
feature of this trial by ballot was
that every man in the State who
believes in honor and honesty was
expected to vote in favor of repudi-
ating half the debt and reducing the
interest rate on the rest. The party
opposing this half reputation voted
no, because they wished to repudi-
ate the whole debt.-,St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
