signed by @. B. White, Sanitary Director,
and Edward Fenner vico President sani-
tary Auxiliary Association, and approved
by DR.. S. NJ. Bemis, Of the National Board
Of Health, says: "That correct iniorma-
ton may take the place Of idle rumors,
we give the following list Of all the cases
OF yellow fever that have occurred, be-
ginning with the first one landed here." "
Here follows q list Of names and dates as

genuineness OF which, after examination,
was doubted by very high medical author
ity, lived on the outskirts Of the city and
in close proximity to the smawps. The
other was an imported case from Morgan

After referring to various sanitary meas.
ures adopted by the Board Of Health, the
Sanitary Auxiliary Association. and the
relief offered by the National Board, the
report concludes: Having reached Sep

THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI

St. Louie, Jan. 25-The weather for a few
days past has been 80 mild, comparatively
arcsking, that the opening of the river here
is looked forward to as something in the
near future, and measures are being taken
to preserve and protect, as far as possible,
all crafts and steamboat property in the har-
Dor. With a view to this the harbor boat,
E 6. Smith, was sent to work this afternoon
breaking the ice at Chestnut street, and
ploughed her way down through the gorge
and disappeared around the bend in the
couree of two or three hours. The river is
pretty we'll blockaded betw cen here and
Carondelet, but the Smith will cut her way
through to that point if possible and then,
together with the transfer boat Bogy and
several tugs, will break up the entire gorge
below here to open water at Carondolet.
This will enable steamers, barges and other
crafts to attain safer positions than they now
occupy and will give the very thick and
dangerous ice of the gorge above the bridge
fire.. and rapid movement in and through
The harbor when it breaks, and thereby
greatly lessen the risk aud danger to prop
'erty along the shore. The river has risen
about eight inches the past two days and
should this weather continue a few days
longer the Usage, Gasconade and other
streams having their rise in the Ozark
mountains, will swell their ice bands, pour
their floods into the Missouri and open that
river with = rush. This of course will sweep
GU, the gorge above here and open the Mis-.
sissippi to Cairo.

WISCONSIN BRAGG on SOUTHERN CLAIMS

Washington. Jan. 23.-Gen. Bragg, Of
Wisconsin, q democrat and q loyal union
soldier, is the most determined opponent OF
southern claims. He took occasion 10 again
his opposition aud did it in =
manner which fired the southern heart and
brought down the most violent denuncla-
tions upon his head. The south 10 the past
has had no use for northern democrats <
cept I furnish money for their campaigns
and do their budding as dough faces. Ac-
c%ordipgly, it was with indignation and sui.
prise that the southern democrats heard the
great southern claims system denounced by
q northern man. They we're white with
rage when Gen. Bragg went further and
drew such q picture of desolation of the
war and of southern loyalty TO the union as
the most radical of radicals could have
pointed and then charged that southern 10y,
atty was a myth, that no war claim should
be recognized, and that despite the swagger
and bluster Of tue democracy OF the south
it was time for the northern democrats to
break loose from the solid south, if the sol.
id south meant only a concentrated raid up
on the treasury. Some of the more conser.
vstive northern democrats feared the out
break that was impending; Ellis, Mills,
Chalmers, Blackburn and Hooker were on
their feet, burning with wrath.

THE CARE OF THE INSANE.
Deadwood Times.

The time has come when Dakota must
provide for the care and conine
ment of her own insane. AT the close of
the last Legislature there were only seven
persons in the territory confined as lunatics
-1ow there are some over twenty. Our
insane have been confined heretofore In .
Minnesota asylum, but official notice bae
been received that the asylum of Minnes,a
was full of patients of their own. and by tbe
Let of February, 1879, we must remove our
insane. Neither Nebraska or Iowa had any
room to spare, and application to several
states east, failed to find q place where our
insane could b sent. The question as to
what could he done with these unfortunate
people demanded immediate attention, aud
the erection Of such a building put into
such q state of forwardness that the leeisla
could complete it in time to receive
the patients. The work was undertaken by
the governor upon his own responsibility,
and paid for from his private funds. Of
the legislature will complete the
and reimburse the governor what he
has advanced.

CHIEF JOSEPH AFRAID.

In his interview with the president the
other day, Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perces,
vas asked what of all the works of c%iviliza-
ton lie had seen in this, his first trip to the
east, impressed him the most. 1t was ex-
pected that he would name that
great "tepee" the capitol, but he replied
without . moments hesitation, that the
most wonderful thing he had ever seen or
dreamed of was the bridge over the Mis-
sissippi river at st. Louis; and he went on
to explain that he could scarcely believe
his eyes when he looked at it. He could
build q m ountain of stone like the capitol,
be said, but he could not build . spiders
web that would stand alone in the air. He
was afraid to cross it, but he raw that the
pale-faces were not afraid, so he wrapped
his blanket around him, and trembled az
the train was going over.

The animus of that which has been des.
ignated as the confederate element of the
democrati: party-namely, the persons sent
from the southern states to aeats in congress-
was very suddenly developed IN the nation
al house Of representatives a few days ago,
the occasion being the speech of General
Bragg, of Wisconsin, himself a dem ,crat,
against the Efforts on the part Of southern
leaders to secure payment for claims made
against the general government for property
destroyed during the war of the rebellion.
AS this class of democrats have gained nu.
merical strength, SO have they gradually in
simulated their demands upon the national
treasury for recompense for their ~disloyalty.
The effort has finally become obnoxious to
the loyal portion Of: the democratic party,
and the result is that General Bragg, him
self a soldier of renown under the national
banner, has finally cut loose from the traces
of party harness, and has expressed himself
in terms of just indignation upon the sub
ject Of the pet scheme Of his southern breth-
rem. The more conservative members of
the northern democratic party are endeavor-
ing to smooth over matters and hold togeth-
er the refractory elements of their rapidly
dissolving political organisation, but the
impulsive utterances OF General Bragg have
kindled q heat which is rapidly consuming
traditional party ties and inviting chaos
where nothing but order can prevail against
the opposition. of once more united republic
canism. These southern claims are the
opening wedge Of that moral force which
must finally create a breach between the
loyal and disloyal elements of this country,
and those who gather On either side of the
chasm now being created must toe the line
Of ~sectionalism, regardless Of previous party
predictions.
