Memphis.

The following paragraph is taken from the
editorial columns of the Baltimore american,
of the Goth. 1t will be read with interest by
those who are inquiring for the cause of the
sudden and virulent appearance of the yell
low fever in Memphis, while other localities
heretofore equally subject to its ravages has
remained exempted. We do not sympathize
with any disposition to censure the people
of Memphis at this particular time. Sym
pathy should run in another direction, and
prompt aid rendered them in their terrible
visitation, whatever the Immediate cause that
invited it. The american says:
The refugees arriving at ST. Louis and Chi
cago in their flight from Memphis give dis
tressing account of affairs in that plague
stickened locality. In abandoning their
homes the refugees were painfully aware
that they left them at the mercy of the
rogues and thieves, without the protection of
an efficient police. The refugees also COM
plain that they were plundered while in the
cars, which were so crowded that the aisles
were filled with men, women and children,
who had to stand during the entire Journey,
They state that, although some efforts had
bayou and the rotten wooden pavements re-
manned in even worse condition than thev
were in 1878. The people were too busy in
attempting to repair their private losses and
the civil authorities in connecting schemes to
get rid OF the PUBLIC debt by abolshing the
city charter, to pay any attention to Che san
itary precautions that were imperatiyely nee
essary. The spirit OF reputation also spread
to the people, and no taxes were paid; con-
sequently that afforded some excuse for the
neglect of the authorities. But an offer W as
made by Chicago capitalists to sewer Guyoso
bayou that would have remeded that nui-
sanee without any expenditure. The BAYOU
is seven miles long, and has an average width |
OF thirty-five feet. The offer was to COM
