Monday was terrible in ST. Louis.
As early as 8 A. NJ, the thermome-
ter being then at 80 degrees, sever.
al cases of sunetroke had occurred.
The number kept increasing as the
day assed on, and when the dis
patches closed at night there was
an official record of forty.nine
deaths during the day. A much
larger number were stricken down,
some OF them destined to recovery,
the rest to die within three or four
hours or perhaps as many DAYS.
The heat of st. Louis is not stat
ed in the dispatches, except thai al
8 A. NJ. The thermometer stood at
80 degrees and deaths had begun TO
occur st that early hour. None OF
the surrounding towns report
temperature higher than 90 degrees.
Presumably that at st. Louis may
have been 100 degrees. All the

Justment, have now become interested work
ers Tor an adjustment IN self-defense. We
refer to the men and their descendants who
were connected with the administration of

the people OF the commonwealth, embracing
the ex- ot1clats OF every branch of the public
service, and OF all the railroads that received
State aid prior to the war, feel that they have
been assalled py the report of the majority of
the committee on the State debt, and have
arrayed the selves on the side of a compro-
mise, 10 sslf-defeuse. Then comes all the
influence OF Democratic administrations since
the war. Their policy has been in
peached ana their motives impugned,
and they are forced to staod for plac-
lug the question where we have always
insisted 1t belonged, upon our ability
to pay and not upon the validity of the debt,
that question having been settled affirmative

Republicans of the State are also arrayed up
on this side of the question, because the sift-
ing process denies ia toto the power of their
administration to bind the people, and inval-
idates their acts upon the ground of fraud,
bribery, usurpstion and corruption. The
great mass of the people demand lis settle

and cities so unfortunate as to be again
scourged with another epidemic. Woe to
the southern town or city visited by the yell
lovy-fever this summer! There will be no
escape for the citizens, "a the trains will be
stopped by force, and the flying refugees will
have no place Of refuge, as the law Of self
preservation would force the people to close
their doors against a disease which expert
ence has convinced them can be imported
into their own households. In view of this
fact, no town or city should trlhe with its
sanitary affairs. Memphis has taken the
necessary precautionary measures, and by the
first of June, it is hoped, everything will be
removed that is prejudicial to the city.
While there seems to be a preconcerted ar
rapgement to destroy Memphis by SANDER
and Misrepresentation, there are those ready
to do justice to our city. Colonel Arthur 81.
Keller, Of the Tuscumbia North Albanian,
was in the city last week, and his words of
truth and justice rise up like an oasis in the
desert of falsehood about Memphis. In COM
meUting on one of the misrepresenta as
to the health of Memphis, he says:
The foregoing, like many similar statements
which have been going the rounds OF the press re-
Gently does great Injustice to Memphis. We left

there, and We saw a large sanitary force at work

Congress will be convened in extra session

anime will be established at an early day.
Il this be done there will be no apprehension
as to yellow-fever. Lamar, Harris and Casey
Young, have this question earnestly at heart,
and 1t is hoped they will secure the passage
of a stringent national quarantine law, which
will prevent the importation of pestilence

dispatch says: The steamer California ar

news to the effect thas the Indians are pre-

Osprey and the United States cutter Walcott
have reached Alaska. The chiefs received
the Osprey cordially, but informed the com
mander that they would take the Walcott
whenever they chose. The Walcott has
gone 10 intercept fotilla of hostile canoes
which are on their way to destroy the town
OF Sitka. On board the Walcott are the Os-
prey's marines and Gatling gun. The situa-
sion is very alarming. The Osprey will re-
main until relieved by an American Inan-of-
war. The Sitka chiefs were given two hoHrs
to produce certain woman, witness to the
Brown murder. They pretended tdat the
woman was absent, but in much less time
they brought her In. She confessed to hav-
ing seen Browns body after he had been shot
twice. The body was then rolled in blankets

ST. LGz1a, March ia large number of
negroes nave recently arrived here from
Vicksburg and other points in Mississippi
and Louisiana, under the impression, as they
assert, that they would be provided with the
means of subsistence while here and free
transportation to Kansas, where, on their ar
rival, they are to receive lands from the gov
eminent, money, mules, plows, etc. Several
hundred, perhaps more than thousand,
have already arrived, the most of them in a
destitute condition, and six hundred more
will reach here Tomorrow by the steamer
Grand Tower. IAs no such provision as above
stated had been made for these people, they
having evidently been grossly deceived for
some malicious purpose, and in view of all
the circumstances in the case, Mayor Over

warning all persons against coming to st.

and to pay their fare to their destination.

RELYING upon a Federal hn

RELYING upon Federal bureau and Fed
eral appropriations the cities and towns in the
yelIoW-feEer district, reaching from Memphis down
TO New Orleans, we are told have not exerted them
selves TO Improve their sanitary arrangements in
view OF possible return OF the pestilence With the
recurrence OF warm weather. Their streets to-day
are as dirty as they before and their sew
erage and drainage quite defective. 1t is not
even certain that the haf-eosed sewer at Grenada,
which was Immediately responsible for the terrible
mortality there last summer, has been properly at
tended TO.
The above is taken from the New York
Bulletin. We will let New Orleans and
Grenada speak for themselves. AS for Mem
phis, our streets have undergone complete
change and our sanitary condition is vastly
improved. And what is better, our sanitary
affairs are IN the hands of naSn who will en-
force every rule and regulatisnznecessary to
our safety.
