An APPEAL TO TIE PEOPLE.

President Haddon and Dr. Thornton,
President Of tho Board Of Health, mako
an appeal to the citizens this morning for
money to enforce the rigid non-intercourse
system deemed essential to the safety Of
the city from epidemic yellow fever
which prevails at Decatur and at Jackson,
Miss, where il made itself manifest yester.
day in three cases. The ArrEAL unites
with these officers in urging an immediate
subscription of not less than $4,000,
which sum Mr. IIadden has calculated
will pay for twenty days Of non.in-
tercoursc, properly and efficiently en-
forced. With the spirit that pre-.
vailed on Change yesterday there ought
not to be any trouble in securing this
amount. II is as raindrop compared
to the losses our merchants and property
owners, especially, would sustain II the
yellow fever secured a ioothod horc.
We appeal to our public.spirited mer-
chants to take the matter in hand ut the
earliest possible hour today, and we addi-
ionally urge upon them TO invite the
] 81 Uf.ln M LII II Al
ChlckasLw Guards, Merchants Zouaves
Tennessee Rifles and Bluff City Guards,
10y turns, under the direction OF Capt. Kel-
lar Anderson, 10 assist, II deemed neces.
sary, In the eniorccmentoi non .intorcourse
against persons from infected places. We
suggest that Mr.. Henry Martin, president OF
the Merchants Exchange, and Mr.. l.. b.
Suggs, president OF the Cotton Exchange,
take this matter in hand aud appoint the
necessary committees. Memphis is in
good health and We must, every one of
IA, be prepared to mako what sacrifices
81 time and money may be- necessary TO
keep her so. We must work as one man
with n great public purpose Of defense
against an enemy the most insiiious and
deadly that in these days we have any
knowledge OF. The hands Of the authori.
ties must be strengthened at once by men
and money. There is not moment for
delay.

To the Editor Of ThqAppciG
Permit me 10 Congratulate you on the
position assumed In relation to u national

and experience in the management Of con-
tagious diseases, Pam satisfied that all such
matters should be under the entire control Of
a national health. officer backed by the en-
tire United Statesarmy IL necessary endowed
with plenary power, Experience has demon
stratod that the way TO treat contagious and
infectious diseases is by isolation and
scatteration. Isolate the diseased and re-
move those who have mot been exposed to
the disease 10 q safe place Inland qualan-
tines cannot be enforced by civilians. They
need the strong impartial hand Of thor
oughly competent government officer,

Ger OF this character having the
confidence Of the country and backed by
the military, | contend can manage and
control the spread OF any contagious disease.
l cannot In brief communication go into
details, but feel conGdonL il can be done. A
National health bureau should have control
OF ali sanitary matlors and engage in the
scientific investigations OF all matters per-
tanning TO the health Of our people. No
pent-up Utica should cDutIOl It's powers and
