Mrs. Garfield can bring herself to intercede
for Guiteau's reprieve until October she will
have accomplished her mission. Mrs. Gar

IT is very doubtful if greater outrage not
within the reach of the Law to punish can be
committed than that of originatingor spread
ing a rumor of the existence of yellow-fever
in New Orleans, or any where else along the
Mississippi river. Such a runner, or state
rnent, il allowed to circulate uncontradicted,
would lead to general uneasiness and dis
trust, perhaps panic, and thus injure men in
their business, putting them to unnecessary
expense and trouble to place their families
beyond danger, aud confirm the people of
oar own and other States ia the opinion
that Memphis, through New Orleans, is
doomed to the perpetual menace OF yell
low-fever. We cannot afford thus to
be annoyed by thoughtless or designing peo-
pie every summer, therefore the APPEAL, in
the puslic interests, has determined to fol-
low up every such statement or Tumor to the
author, and at the came time secure an in
vestigation TO The truth or falsity of it, 80
that the public may know the facts. Mem
phis has suffered very much in the past from
such rumors, and, if possible, they must be
prevented in the future. In this work we
shall expect the help Of every man and
woman who has the good of the city at heart
and desires TO see her prosper.

JUDGE RoBERTsos's NAME

was sent to the Senate without previous no
tice to Conkling, Arthur or Plat. OF course
Mr.. COnkling's position was an embarrassing
one and he was somewhat annoyed. He
thought of addressing the open Senate upon
the subject, and probably made the greatest
mistake of his life by refraining. But on he
day of Judge Robertson's nomination friend
and representative OF the president called on
him and expressed the executives sincere
regret that he General Garfeld) had been
forced to break faith. The reason assigned
was this: Whitelsw Reid was custodian
of a certain letter which he threatened to
use if Judge Robertson should not be ap-
pointed, and as the publication OF that letter
might very seriously involve the adminisirs-
ton, the president was forced to yield. That
Whitelaw Reid sent President Garfield not
one but several midnight dispatches Of
peremptory demand and menace does not
admit of doubt. One of the kilograms,
which has never been published, is now 10
the hands of General 81. V. Boynton, the
Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati

Senator Conkling did not feel able to cope
with an administration moved by such forces
and he resigned FLAT JUsTITIA.
