| ging, but demanding OF the government to
protect the people of the valley. The peo-
pie supported the government and have
right 10 demand this protection. He wanted
these resolutions coupled with those adopted
by the City Council, and to all adopted by
other parts of the St9te, in order TO impress
On Congress what is wanted by this people.
Dr. D. D. Saunders enthusiastically In
dorsed the resolutions presented by Mr.. God
win, and dem nded that they be urged upon
Congress. He regarded the city OF New Or
leans as the dangerous point, which, without
the restraints of the National Board OF
Health, il was impossible TO get reliable in
form alton as to contagious diseases Local
protection ne regarded as too weak for SO i'm
portant work. He had no axes to grind,
and wanted only TO protect our own people.
He wanted the Goodwin resolutions 10 be the
spontaneous expression of this community.
DR.. Saunders compared the small amount
appropriated by this government with the
vast sums contributed by France toward the
discovery of a remedy to destroy the para
site that had devastated her whey ards and a
cure for the Charlton that was destroying her
animals. DIR. Saunders concluded with
hearty Endorsement of the Goodwin resolu-
tions.

DR.. d. 4. Porter, ex-president oil the Tax
ing District, urged that the merchants OF
Memphis should give hearty support to the
local sanitary authorities in case the neces-
sity of guarding the river devolves upon that
body. He urged that a reliable citizen of
Memphis be sent to New Orleans TO act

The Hon. Casey Young moved that the
resolutions adopted here be sent by telegraph
tonight, in view of the fact that the period
of the adjournment OF Congress was too near
at hand to admit OF the delay consequent
upon any other method of conveyance. Col
onel Young knew of some strife in high
official quarters that had much to do with
the recent proceeding looking to a sus-
pension of the quarantine service. II DIR.
Porter, Dr. Mitchell or DIR. Saunders could
be sent to Congress and place the matter
before Congress as it really exists, he knew
there would be no trouble in securing the
necessary appropriation TO continue the ser

what our representatives in Congress had 10
contend with, and knew the necessity of
sending responsible citizens to Washington
TO present the matter in its true light.
On motion it was ordered that the reso-
lutious be telegraphed 10 the Hon. w. II.
Moore aud Senator Harris Immediately.
Mr.. Barney Hughes, general passenger
agent of the Memphis and Charleston rail-
road, rendered the courtesies OF his route TO
any delegate that might be sent.
Some suggested that committee be sent
Colonel Hughes responded by stating that
he had no particular objection to enlarging
the roads courtesies to the accommodation
of committee, but he thought that one
would do more good than three. He was
satisfied that one would harrhonize better
than three.
A motion was adopted inviting DIR. ID. d.
Saunders to 90 TO Washington to present the
tier to Congress.
