MEMpH1s, Tenn. July 12.-No new easss Jet,
| and the caut-gct-aWay squad begins to feel
happy. The sentiment to-day has been almost
| universally condcmnatory of the hasty action
of the medical gentlemen IN preciptating as
great calamity commercially upon tho ill-fated
| city us the real outbreak OF an ordinary pf
denic. The PHYSICIANS are still at variance,
| some declaring that four cases OF sporadic fever
| have occurred; others that but one, and still
others, whose professional ability is unquestion-
| able, who declare that they don't believe even
sporadic case has appeared The peopls find
consolation in the old adage that "Hhen doc
tors fall OUT" etc.
There was we'll attended meeting OF citizens,
embracing the remaining members OF the Cham
ber OF Commerce and Cotton Exchanges at which
the quarantine question was freely discussed. It
is charged that all the towns and cities which
have established quarantine have anticipated
the conditions prescribed in the act regulating
National and State quarantine, which. is ex-
planned that aueh action should not be taken
until the disease Is declared epidemic in city
or town..
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
