THE DREAD DISEAsE.-The yellow
fever, whilst not as virulent at Mem
phis as last year, is still SO portentous
as to cause great apprehension through
out the country, and has already caused
the almost entire depopulation of that
Inflated city. The latest telegram an
nounces thirteen newscases on last Sat-
urday and three deaths. There were
fourteen new cases and niEe deaths on
Sunday. An address has been issued to
the citizens for aid, and imploring zone
and all to protect the good name of the
city from the possible imputation by the
world at large of being a community Of
beggars sitting idly down and expecting
others to take care of our interest and
feed our poor" The Towards announce
that they need no assistance at present
from abroad. There are now six yellow
fever patients from Memphis at the
New York quarantine, and four at Lou
isville, KY.

Cui Bono?

All right-minded people, having the
true interests of the State at heart, were
rejoiced when the McCulloch Bill for
the settlement of the State debt was en-
acted, and the only fear was that its
terms, so favorable to the State, would
not be accepted by the creditors. And
such seems to have been the hope of
those who opposed the Bill and took
part in the Mozart convention.
AS long as it was doubtful whether or
not the creditors would comply with
the conditions of the proposed settle
ment, nothing was heard from those
who are now "fretting the air'' with
their outcries against the 'iniquities" of
this Bill. Disappointed in its accept
ance by the creditors, and knowing that
a return of the people once more to quiet
would blast all their hopes of office,
they are now raising hue and cry
against the Bill, and hope, by much
sound and bombastic Misrepresentation
to so mislead the people as to elect a
Legislature this fall which will repeal
the McCulloch Bill.
Now suppose the people should be SC
led away from the moorings of common
sense and so far forgetful of their OWE
interests as to elect such Legislature
what good would be accomplished
Who is to be benefited by it? Not the
State. for the repeal of this Bill saddles
again upon her the Funding Bill of 1871
under which twice the rate of .interes
must be paid as under the present set
Element. Not the people, for to NEE
the demands of the Funding Bill o
1871 their taxes must be increased
Then who is to be benefited? None
we opine, but those who, by misleading
the people, hope to ride into office ant
feather their own nests at the expens
of the people of the State.
That our readers may be more full!
informed of the advantages offered by
the McCulloch Bill, we republish thi
morning articles from the Richmond
State and Dispatch on this subject, t.
which we direct their most earnest ant
and considerable attention.
