The prctensc of DR.. Rauch's friends that
his failure to appear before the Senate com
mittcc, when cited so to do, was due to
sickness, the germs of which implanted
themselves in his system while he was in
Cairo last summer, tortifying the State
against yellow fever, is absurd, utterly
groundlcss and foolish. He was of no
earthly service in Cairo, and if anything
CAN be more attcnuatcd than the alleged
cause of sickness, it is the statcmentthat he
was here "iortliyingthe State against yellow
fever" Now, we assert and we do ii with
out lear Of contradiction, that the people of
Cairo are not indebted to DR.. Rauch for one
single practical suggestion, relating to
quarantine, sanitary regulations or any
ether matter concerning which our authori'
ties were, at that time, ANXIOUS to be inform
