Haven, twenty miles out from Memphis.
has instructed John johnson, Superin-
tendent of Quarantine at Memphis, to
send Inspector Bradley Immediately to
that point to aid Inspector Noll in en-
forcing the rules recently adopted so far
as practicable, looking to the absolute
isolation of parties there sick with vel
low fever and the exhaustion of every
other means to stamp out the disease.
IF necessary" says President Plunket,
''you are to depopulate not only the
houses, but the immediate neighbor-
hoods in which the fever exists, and if
no other arrangement can be made you
are directed to establish camp to which
all such people can be sent" President
Plunket says if the negroes could be got
out of Memphis the fever would die out
for want of material within two weeks.

SENATOR BYRD.

The Knoxville Tribune of yesterday
has ringing and characteristic letter
from Senator r. K. Byrd on the State
debt situation, which ought to be copied
into every paper, and carefully read by
every friend of State Credit and public
honor in Tennessee. Col. Byrd's letter
needs no reviewing at our hands, as it
plainly speaks the sentiments and re
veals the character Of the man, and is
just what might be expected by all who
know him, and who observed his record
in the last Legislature of Tennessee.
We endorsed his actions in the Senate,
aud we now fully endorse his fearless
and manly letter; he was in front for
State credit in the Senate-he Is in front
for State credit yet, and every time you
look for him you will find him square
on the issue, and ready to step to the
front on the first call for volunteers.
Like Senator Byrd, we think an honor
orable provision for the payment of our
public debt is paramount in interest
over any other question before the peO-
pie of the State, and that the issue in
our next State election should be
estate Credit" VS. "Repudiation"

terms, or not settle at all.
