YELLOW FEVER.

There were but n cases of yellow fever at
Memphis during the past week with 81 deaths
quite falling off from last week, and much
below any of the preceding six or eight weeks.
The people are in consequence getting FESTIVE
under the strict quarantine to which they are
subjected, and by proceeding before local
iudre had Order No. of the State Board of
Health, against the bringing IN of cotton, set
aside. The movement will probably lead TO
more litigation.
The only other afflicted point seems to be
Concordia, Miss, where there were four new
cases ON the 10Th and seven on the 22d, with
in all seven deaths. Help was promptly sent
them from Memphis, and matters there look
more hopeful.

that Mr.. Glover had told him the same thing.

REMARKs.-The misunderstanding may have
arisen from Mr.. Glover speaking of the re-

only to the receipts at Chicago, and not on the

THE NEW YORK MUBS.

There Is, Of course, good deal of rcjoicin!

runs this wise

and Tilden and Governor Robinson, Tlldeni

&c. &c
But after all the whstling of the Stawart:

side of the mouth So far as the western dem
ocracy are concerned at least, this Tammany
bolt is a matter over which they are "eXerCiS
ed" very little, In fact they rather like it
The election of Cornell by 10000 to 10000
which this bolt seems to foreshadow, Will at
least lay out T'ilden as the democratic candi
date for the presidency, and that we are dlspos
ed to regard rs an unmiXed good. Then il
will bring Conkling nightly to the fore As a
Republican Ajax, and that too the western
democrat will rather like. For although no
body imagines Conklns will be the republl.
can candidate for the Presidency, the strong
position the election of Cornell will give him
laws out efiectualy his rivals, Blaine and Shcr-
man. both of whom Conkling would unmerci.
fully KNIFE as presidential candidates, and
neither would stand the ghost of chance OF
an election without New York. So the Tam.
many bolt helps the Grant boom, and indeed it
renders the nomination ofGrant so certain that
none but fool now dreams of any other re
publican candidate
Well that is just what suits Us democrats OF
the West. Grant will carry New York, Con
necticut and all New England, except posi-
blv, Maine. No doubt in the world of that
Then what must the democracy do? Clearly
they must nominate western mun-Thur-

OF these, and the last named in particular, they
are sure of carrying Indiana, Illinois, Wiscon-

with the South, Will give them 90 more elccto-
raj votes than they need Or, let Sherman
succeed in forcing his nomination on the re-
publicans and the democrats can nominate Bay
ard or Hancock, and with the vote of New
York and New Jersey, and a strong probability
in favor of carrying Pennsylvania, they are
equally safe so the Tammany bolt is a good
thing. 1t simpIiies the contest for the demo

The only "set speech" Hayes has made since
he started on his big steer and pumpkin expc-
dtion, was the one at Cincinnati and repeated
at Detroit, consisting of several printed pages
of treasury figures SO doctored as to present as
favorably rs possible Shermans management
of the finances and to show the aourishIn &
state of our foreign commerce. Having read
off his figures on the latter subject, he wound
up; with these authentic and significant
facts and figures before us, we may reasonably
assume that the country has entered again
upon a period of business prosperity" The
evidence that the country has again "entered
upon period of business prosperity" Mr.
Hayes finds in the fact that our exports largely
exceed our imports. Mr.. Hayes torgets that
such condition is almost purely accidental
arising out Of the failure of crops in Europe
In point Of fact, however, no country can be
said 10 be truly prosperous that exports more
ing back from Europe for our grain will do
more harm than good 1t Will so enormously
enlarge the basis of our paper circulation and
credit system that IN few years prices of all
manufactured articles will so advance that
foreign competition, in spite of our high tariff
will run our own manufacturers out of the
markets of the world. We have already
reached the verge of that condition in the iron
trade, Sheffield to day being able TO underscll

MAINE AND CALIFORNIA.

Tom Ewing has lostcll heart since he heard
! from California ard Maine Ohie he is con-
vInced, Will give a rousing republican MAJOR
| ity-4Norris Herald.
Our opinion is that this story about Ewing
having "lost heart" in view Of the result in
Maine and California is pure invention on
the part of the Honorable editor of the
HeraM If any badly has lost heart over the
matter 1t ought to be Blaine and the stalwarts.
Maine for twenty years, up to year ago, had
always been reliably republican by from l2,-
O00 to 5000 majority. Last year the green
hackers stole a march on the stalwarts and
cast such 4 vote as, with the democrats, to
leave the republicans 10000 i'll the minority.
The unexpected result threw them into
spasms, aud 1t was resolved that this fall
Maine must be redeemed, cost what 1t might.
The state, from July up to the election, was
filled with republican orators and electioneer-
ing agents in behalf of the republicans, who it
is admitted spent half million of dollars in
the work of rcdeemlng Maine, and got out the
largest vote by 5000 the state had ever polled,
What was the result? The following dispatch
explains:
BOsToN, Sept 23.-The latest advices from
Maine are to the effect that Davis, the repuO-
liCan candidate for governor, lacks from three
to four thousand of the majority necessary for
an election, and that the senate, before which
the choice Of governor Will finally come is so
close that the official count by the governor
and council Will be required to determine the
result.
If, after such hcrculean efforts and such
merciess levy on the poor Washington clerks
and the liberal donations of Wall street, that
is the best the stalwarts could 90 in Maine, we
fail decidedly to see any occasion for Ewing
to lose heart" over 1t.
And he certainly has as little occasion to
lose heart over California. 1t is true the
republicans carried the state by a plulUlHy, as
they did two years ago, and they elected three
of the four members of congress, as they did
two years ago. But adding the vote of the
democrats and working men together, the re
publlcans are over 10000 in the minority
Can they carry the state for Grant land every
man of sense knows that Grant will be their
next candidate for PRESIDENT with such vote
against him: Can Grant get the vote of a
single democrat or Kearncyic, and will theI
democrats and kcarncyltcs DC likely to divide
as against Grant? Surely there is nothing in
the California election for Ewing to lose
heart" over, but enough TO break the heart of
a stalwart
