The thermometer in Jack County,
winter and summer, is about tho same as
here, but they are subjected to sudden
changes called "northers" that is exceed
ingly disagreeable, and sometimes dam
aging to stock in the winter. They
usually last about three days. In the
summer you have nearly all the time q
delightful breeze from the south, called
the gulf breeze.

YELLOW FEVER.

WASHINGTON, July ia tele-
gram from DR.. Mitchell, at Mem
phis, received at the National Board
of Health last night, declares the
city to be dangerously infected.
Another telegram received at noon
to-day reports six new cases and
the disease spreading.
MEMPHIS, July 19.-Three new
cases of yellow fever were reported
to the Board of Health this morn
ing Laura T. and Viola Godsey,
two sisters, residing at 48 Bradford
street, and Tom Herman, Passenger
Agent of the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad.
The illness of the Godsey sisters
| can be traced to infection from the
Tobiu family. The young ladies
were in attendance upon Mrs
Tobin until her case was pronounced
yellow fever.
These cases dispel the sporadic
theory. Hiram Athy, son of Chic
Police Athy, is dying, although hi
case had not yet been reported tt
the Board of Health as yellow
fever. The Chiefs residence is il
the neighborhood of Tobin's dwell
ing, as is also Tom Kernan's.
The report of the death of Fred
Eckers was premature. He is liv.
ing, but lies in an extremely criti-
cal condition. The weather is warm
and saltry, with occasional showers
The development of new cases has
given fresh impetus to the exodus
of citizens.

LOUISIANA.

New ORLEAN7, July 18.-The
Stste debt question was brought up
in the Convention at noon to-day.
The ordinance, as adopted yester-
day, was read the third time and a
vote taken: Yeas, 62; nays, 81.
The Chair decided that the ordi-
nance was defeated, not having re-
ceived the. necessary So votes, a
majority of the whole Convention.
An appeal from the decision of the
Chair was made on the ground
that this ordinance, not being a
part of the Constitution until it
was adopted by separate vote of
the people, it required only ma
jority vote in the Convention. The
appeal was tabled. It was then
claimed that the Democratic party
would be held responsible by the
people for the solution Of the debt
question, and the Convention took
a recess until 1880, p. NJ, to allow
the Democrats to deliberate in eau
Gus. The question will probably be
settled tonight.

The States which have accepted the
rules mentioned are Louisiana,
Mississippi, Tennessee, and New
jersey. The rules have been for
warded to several States for the
purpose, if necessary, of securing
the speedy execution of the provls-
ion in the act of June 3rd,, 1879,
requiring the National Board OF
Health to cooperate with, and SO
far as it lawfully may, aid the
State and municipal Board of
Health in the execution and en-
forcement of the rules and regula-
tions of such Board to prevent the
introduction of infectious and con-
tagious- diseases into the United
States or from one State into an
other.
The Treasury Department has
revoked an order prohibiting the
importation of meat cattle from
England. The Secretary has Off
fcially determined that such impor-
tation will not tend to the int oduc-
ton or spread of contagious or in
fectious diseases among the cattle
of the United States, provided that
all meat cattle from any portion OF
Europe, arriving in any part Of the
United States, shall be kept in
quarantine for not less than ninety
days under the direction of the
customs officer, and at the expense
of the parties interested.
except when the State OF
municipal laws provide fol
the quarantine of such cattle
in such cases, the Collector vii
permit the proper officer to quaran'
tine them in such manner as the
State or municipal authorities re
quire. The Department will, upor
application, consider the specia
cases where it may be claimed
during such quarantine that cattle
were from entirely healthy locali
ties direct to the United States, ant
will decide on such cases whether
they may be delivered at the periot
shorter than ninety days, as befor'
mentioned.

Quarantinfng.

Mr.. EDITOR: Quarantine, as against
yellow fever. is getting to be ques-
ton OF Importance. 1t is a question
appealing to the best feelings of hu-
manity, and, plainly put, will strike
the truly Christian heart as a voice
from God Himself, asking what Of
thy brother? Shall thy neighbor,
thy kiDsman, may be, bone of thy
bone, and flesh of thy flesh, be denied
an asylum because he has fled from a
pestiferous air, which it is impossible
for him to carry with him? Shall
the offices of humanity be withheld
on an assumption of truth, in prop
osition, which has been again and
again disprOven?
The humanitarian is trembling more
for the results of absolute meanness,
which men will be guilty of under
the teachings of the possible transport
tstion of yellow fever, than from any
fear of that fever being propagated in
a locality incapable of originating it.
And the Christian had better 90 to
his closet, and devoutly ask for guild.
ance in this emergency, lest, per-
chance, he be led from confidence in
unsonnd doctrine, to place himself in
position where his brothers. blood
will cry aloud against him.
speak whereof know. For two
hundred years the yellow fever has
been under observation, and they ap-
proach a unit against the dogma of
propagation at locality in
capable of originating it,--are al
most a unit against the possibility
of it's transportability from the at
mosphere of the locality in which it
originates.
I beg you to publish this, my pro-
fessional protest, against SO untenable
a doctrine, and my imploring to sem
slbie people to look at the questions
involved in the same considerate man
ner which they would give to a mat
ter OF business in which they were
concerned more than any one.

The Tournament.

From the Atlanta Constitution of the
18th inst, we clip the following:
"The Alert base ball club of Atlant ia,
ever alert upon the subject of the ma
tional game, have arranged for a
base ball tournament which will take
place at Oglethorpe Park, in this city,
commencing Saturday, July 25, and
lasting two days. The club has sent
out several letters to the leading base
ball clubs of this section, and some of
them have written that they will be
on hand. Others are in correspondence
with the Alerts with view of coming
and entering in the tournament. The
Dixies, of Greensboro, will be among
the contesting clubs. A letter was re-
ceived from the Reds. of Knoxville,
yesterday stating that they would be
here and that they desired that board
would be secured in advance for the
club and number of friends who will
accompany the members on their visit
to Atlanta. The Reds are the acknowl-
edged champions of Tennessee, and
will doubtless play fine game in the
coming tournament. The 'Selex,' OF
Fairburn, have also written that their
club will be here and enter in the con-
test. The 'Lightfoots,' of Griffin,
Tom Forts of Chattanooga, and a
Covington nine are also expected.
These clubs, with the Alerts,' OF At
lanta, will make fine show.
"The first game of the expected
tournament, will be played Saturday
morning, and the playing will be con-
tinued from that time until the con.
test is decided. The winning club will
get two-thirds of the gate money, and
the club playing the second best game
will get the remaining third.
"The tournament will doubtless be
hotly contested by every club, and
some fine sport may be expected. The
sAlerts' have already settled down to
work In business-like manner, and
feel confident that they will at least
have the second money il they do not
get the first, which they are deter
mined to play for.'
The Constitution man was surely not
up on his dates when he penned the
above, for according to our calendar,
the 18th comes on Friday. This is the
day the tournament begins, and seven
clubs having entered, it will most
probably take Friday, Saturday and
Monday to play all the games.
The Chattanooga Times of yester-
day states that the Riversides have
entered, but this is mistake. Our
BOYS all say they would like to meet
them there and play out the two games

men are heard of who are going with
them. A large crowd will go from

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 18.-
In the Cabinet meeting to-day the
only subject of Importance dis
cussed was request of the National
Board of Health that the officers of
the Navy be. detailed to foreign
countries where yellow fever is
known to exist for the purpose of
examining all vessels bound to the
United States, and issuing clean
bills of health to such as are free
from infection. The question which
arose was whether the clause au-
thorizing such examinations in the
act incorporating the National
Board of Health was mandatory or
not. No decision was arrived at,
but the opinion of the Cabinet men,
bers present seemed to be that it
would be unjust to detail either
army or navy officers for such SER
vice at foreign yellow fever ports
unless they voluntarily offered
to go.
Mail superintendent Terrill, of
Atlanta, Ga, in telegram to the
General Superintendent of Railway
Mail Service to-day, said: Z" All
Messengers between Memphis and
Vicksburg have allowed themselves
to be quarantined at Memphis, and
will not be permitted to perform
service. Boats are running regu-
larly between st. Louis and Vicks-
burg, but make no stops at Mems
phis.
From information obtained at the
Executive Mansion to-day, there is
no doubt of the correctness of the
assertion heretofore published in
regard to the successor of Secre-
tary McCrary. Ex-senator Rams
sey, of Minnesota, has been ten
dered the Office and has accepted.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Upon
inquiry at the rooms of the National
Board of Health this evening, re-
garding the rigid quarantine de-
clared against New Orleans by Gal
weston, it was stated by Secretary
Turner that the request received by
the Treasury Department for
placing the customs officer outside
of the city of Galveston, had been
referred TO the Board, but they
contend that they have no jurisdic>
ton in the matter of Galveston
quarantine,I in consequence Of the
non,acceptance of Texas of the
rules and regulations pre-.
scribed by the Board. The
Health Officer of the State of Texas
they say, does not approve of the
course being pursued by Galveston.

was shattered, and the woodwork
in the vicinity Of the explosion was
badly damaged, but, fortunately, no
one was injured. The lights were
all extinguished, and there was the
widest excitement for a few mo-
ments. A man, who gave his
name as Henry Evans, was arrested
on board this morning, on suspi-
cion of being the person who
caused the explosion.
