The State boardi is advised by counsel here
Judge Archibald Wright and Col. Ed. Baxter
taat tile pretended election Of J. s. Galloway
as special Judge of the Circuit Court there
was utterly void, and his Injunction is aIsn
void. You will therefore continue to enforce
rule Nos precisely as II no Injunction had
been granted by MIR. Galloway. Should pro-
ceediDQs be instituted to punish you for con-
tempt of the injunction notify me by tele-
graph. ]. p. PLUHxET,
President St,te Board of Health.
Ur. Johnson has instructed all piekets te
permit no one not having had the fever TO en-
ter the city.
Parties bringing In loose cotton will be
stopped at the picket post, and warned OF the
danger they incur by coming into Memphis
This IT ID thought, will practically evade the
effect Of the Injunction issued today.
The Thermometer has ranged between s.
