YELLOW JACK IN NEW ORLEANS

Exodus from the City Commenced.
New Orleans, July 30.-A conflict of
opinion between the board of health
and majority of the physicians makes
it difficult for that body and the public
generally to ascertain the true con-
dition Of affairs here. The board only
admits the existence of four cases of
fever; but from physicians in private
practice, we have reports making the
number Of cases now existing II, and
the total number to date 27. This in
cludes cases now suspicious, but strong
ly believed to be yellow fever.
The principal cause Of reluctance to
report the resolution adopted by the
board of health to isolate each case is,
the. physicians will not allow their pa
=tients and families TO be SO incommod-
ed and therefore will not report. All
the cases known are isolated and the
surrounding streets drenched with zinc
iron. y ~ -i
The exodus has fairly begun, and
alarm is visible on every side, being
perhaps more actively manifested than
last year. 1t is not considered as GER
tain that there will be an epidemic,
although since the disease has mani
tested itself SO early in the season the
prospect is very grave, and the proba-
bility strong that among those yet re-
naming who are unacclimated the dis
ease viii run its course pretty thorough
ly before frost sets in. There is con-
siderable tendency to complication with
malaria, as last year, but the disease is
apparently Of a much milder type than
usual with early cases. The fact that
Mobile will not lay an embargo upon
through trains has given hope to bust
ness men and helped materially to check
the tendency to depression. In fact,
outside of those on the eve of departure,
there is little excitement visible, and
the old Creole stolidity, in the face Of
impending epidemic, is much more ap.
parent than for years.
Two suspicious cases were reported
to the board of health to-day, making 9

Grow will be the candidate for the

enough to talk about it next year, after

The President will not Interfere with the
Action of the Courts.
Washington, July 30.-The attorney
general to-day received information
that D. NJ. Bennett, convicted on the
charge of sending obscene matter
through the mails, has been sent to the
Albany penitentiary. Since the day OF
his conviction he has been confined in
Ludlow street Jail, pending an applica-
tion for pardon. After six weeks care.
full consideration of the subject, the
president decided that he would not
interfere with the case, and Bennett
goes to the penitentiary for thirteen
months. The efforts made by the
friends of Bennett, was, it is said, one
of the most extraordinary in the annals
of petitions for pardon. The attorney
general received petitions from all parts
of the country, signed by nearly one
hundred and fifty thousand people.
The reason given by the president for
not grantinga pardon was that he did
not like to interfere with the action oi
the United States court, and that te
pardon Bennett before lie had served
any part oi the sentence, would appear
like reflection upon the court in which
the trial took place.

THERE was recently a strange case
before the United States circuit court
held in Memphis, and the only one OF
the kind that has been developed since
the close of the civil war. j. c. Bir.
mingham, a resident of Lauderdale
county, Tennessee, retained possession
and control of two colored girls who
were born in slavery, on his plantation.
He never recognized the abolition of
slavery, and the girls were too ignor-
ant to know and claim their rights.
Hence through Birmingham's stupidity
or meanness they were held in bondage
until last week, when they were releas-
ed by order of the court.

AND now they say that the reason iii,
people OF Wyoming want TO annex to Colora

Times.
This statement having appeared in
several of our exchanges it is time the
LEADER is rising to explain. The
~''people" of Wyoming don't want an
nexation for that purpose, at all. But
perhaps it would be nearer the truth to
say that the leaders Of the democratic
party of this territory desire the aboli-
ton of woman suffrage, and would even
favor the humiliation of the territory
by annexation to accomplish the pur-
pose, which would leave the counties
democratic in politics. They would
then be enabled to get away with the
county offices right along.
