THE YELLOIV FKVKB MCA RE. The people of the city were unduly excited yesterday by the inJieciect we had almott siij criminally indiscreet publication of a ruport that the steamer John Porter had been ordered by the aotborilies of Vicksburtr to ''are .Jthat f port, ami was en route to tbis ity with several cacs of yellow fever aboard. This w.w wholly nennationid and in not true. The Porter was ict ordered away by the authorities c-- f Vickiburg; on the contrary, after landing: two feasts of yellow fever, both of which died at the marine hospital, she went on her way, but lonntf another hand by death from yellow-feve- r, returned, was al- lowed to land the body lor burial and then was thoronjilily overhauled, fumigated and disinfected by order of the health officer of the city. Thea, aain, the Porter was not en route for Memphis. Her destination is Pittsburg. Piain lanuape, not intended to excito ar.d alarm, would have staled that ihe was expected to pass this point t n route for Pittsburg, and might, if not prevented by the board of health, land here, and so convey to us the Infection cf yellow-feve- r. Uut the damage has bcea done. The people have been excittd to a degree bejarinjr anything we have ex- perienced since when we were caught by the yel!ow-f(jv- r without any preparation or anything like an intelligent intention in regvd to the right course to pursue. Hap- pily, this is cot row the case. A diflerette of opinion between Ir. Mitchell on the one hnd, and iKictjrs John Erskine and K. F. Ilrown on t lie other, as to the propriety of establishing quarantine two months ago, must not e conftrutd into a want of pre- paredness on the rart of the board of heslth for a crisis Buch an the presence of a case of yellow-feve- r might precipitate upon ar. Only a few days ego Ihe board of health gave evidence that it was a live organization by disinfecting thoroughly and cleaning cp erenerally. so as to" maintain the usual star.-da- rd of health and put the city in a condition to fight successfully with tho yellow-fev- er or any other epidemic disease that might be imported from abroad. It also, yesterday, notified the mayor tuat quarantine must be established, as yel.'ow-feve- r prevailed in New Orleans. The major, ne. uting to obey the ordinance in .such cise m:de and provided, did not, a he should have done, uf,aa his proclamation declaring quarantine establit-hec- ; and the general coun- cil utterly nnd inexouably failed of its duty, siuce it failed to tmt and provide for quarantine, and thus again luiled in the cf a duty which the press of the city and the people hove with rare unanimity agreed was one in ihe performance of which there should be no delay. We trust that if by this morning at ten o'c'ock, at which hour the council should be calkd together by the mayor, steps are not taken by that body to provide so much protection against epidemic disease as nuarar.t ne will afford, a public meeting will be culled, to be held at the chamber of commerce, at which the recusant representative thsll le hold up to merited reprobation, and ut which the neces- sary funds : itay be - subscribed to maintain quurai.tine until the council is forced by an iolignant public to do so. For nearly two month the Atpkai. his urged the establishment cf qu arantine as a sanitary precaution that wou'.d irreatly contribute to prevent aavthirg like the iJ road-sca- re which yesterdjy, without any ra enable cause, took possession of our people. We have nppealed to the council to "provide for the establish ment of quarantine, petitions to the same ef- fect have been sent up to tbt body by.Jhe merchants, and a special committee of the council, alter beaiu.t: all lL.it was possible in : regard to it." rnwrtnd in i ;ivor cf it. But the council was t it her moved by the Appeal, and the other', city papers, by the prayers and entreaties of tre people, nor by the report of its own committee. It refused to establish quarantine. It almost con- - tataptuomly disregarded the brguments M reasonably and sers'.bly advanced by Dr. Mitch-11- , the prebident of the board of health, sustained by press and people, and flatly re- fused to cone fe ti the citizens what they unanitnou-il- deiaanued and good sense dic- ta (a1 was essential t tiifir safety from epi-deo- disi'. And even nsw, when Irs. Krskiae and Hrown, who for so long refused to give their cjr.sect to trie establishment of quarantine, conexdo its necessity and are anxious tor it, the council refuses to come to- gether and quiet-th- public apprehension by providing for what all the doctors will now agree is nceyRry maintain at least the public confidence. What they thus refused yesterday, we trust they will provide for by ten o'clock this morning, by which r Flippin should call them together.

The following letter was received by the mayor yesterday from the board of health : Mkmphis, July 20, 1878. To His Honor the Mayor: Sir It is made the duty of the board of health (section 2 of "An ordinance to estab- lish a quarantine, and to provide regulations therefor," page 173 city ordinances), to no- tify you that it is officially informed by the secretary of the board of health of New Or- - trnns, tbut yallow-i'av- er pvists in that city.

This city was visited last night with a storm, doing great damage in the city and vicinity. The iniurv to the streets amounts to nearly ten thousand dollars, and the damage to private property amounts to much greater. The bridges across the streams in and near the city were washed away, cellars and houses were flooded, and in some instances the stocks of goods in the stores were mostly injured by water. One family who were surrounded by the flood were rescued at a late hour last night, in boats. The rain is believed to be the most severe that has ever been in this section. The dtreatest Rainfall on Record at Chicago. Chicago, J uly 26. The sienal service ob server here reports the rainfall last night, according to the gauge, as over four inches, the greatest on record here in any one night. Elsewhere in the northwest, except at O.uin- - cy, there seems to have been very much less rain, ihe damage to the city, on account of flooded basements, cannot be calculated. Among the heaviest losers are Carson, Pierce & Co.'s West Side dry goods house. Their basement was flooded, and goods reported damaged thirty to forty thousand dollars; of this amount ten thousand dollars was on car- pet?. The postofiice building, which is un dergoing repairs, suffered to the extent of many thousand dollars, the rain coming in from the roof, drenching the floors and ceil ings, and damaging the stock of postal cards, blanks, etc. The military headquarters, in the same building, suffered considerably. On Milwaukee avenue about thirty basements are filled with water. The principal loss there falls on Clement, Sajer & Co., clothiers. The Tribune's editition was de- layed two hours by water in the press-roo- The Grand . Pacific engine-roo- was filled with water, and the basements on Lake and South Water streets were overflowed, to the great damage of poultry and culinary stores. On Oneida street, east of Armden street, the water was severakfeet deep. A strong east wind was blowing during the entire time of the stqrm, from nine o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the evening, and the water in the lake being forced up high on the west shore, gave no chance for the sewers and drains to discharge their contents, and as a consequence the water, in many instances, sought an outlet in the basements.

The views of the members are given with' great deliberation, and a spirit of com- promise seems to prevail among them. They will certainly agree upon a bill which all will snpport.

He declared that the government was under no engagements for the future . except those which had been presented before the house. It had never promised Greece an increase of territory. SICKENING HUltROR. A. Japanese Junk Foand In the Paeifle with a Load of Putrid Corpses oa Board Wot a Heap or Food to be Foand, San Francisco, July 23. The tales of those who po down to the sea in ships are manifold, and many of them almost beyond credence. Adventures by sea, ghastly sto ries of shipwreck, starvation, and even of cannibalism are all too common, and many a gallant bark has le't a friendly port, bearing hundreds of hopeful hearts to friends across the ocean, or to new scenes and strange lands to seek a fortune, and has gone down 'with all on board, to be heard o? no more. The last ocean horror has been brought to light by the schooner Parallel, which arrived to- day. The captain reports that on July 7th, when off the coast of California, about one hundred miles from this port, he fell in with a Japanese junk, with her sails in ribbons, and her standi nir rig&rincr flvine to all points of trie compass, with no one to handle her or see whether she was on or oft her course. Not a living soul was there on the vessel, but on going between decks a ghastly and sickening 'jight met the eyes of the schooner's crew. Scattered about in various attitudes were a number of corpses, some shackled together, and several attired in rich and costly apparel The appearance of the corpses and the sick ening smell permeating the junk showed that the unfortunate ones must have died mni than a month before they were found. Net a scrap of food was to be found on the vessel. and the natural inference is that all hands must have perished of hunger. The mystery will, in all probability, remain unsolved till old ocean gives up its dead. A Corner In Wheat. Chicago, July 26.

Special to the 8t- - Louis Times Washington, July 24. The recent deci- sion of the interior department in a case affirming the right of the department to sell to settlers under the law lands still undisposed of which bad been granted to railroad companies, with a provision that so much of them as remained unsold at the end of three years from the time of comple- tion of the road should be subject to entry and pre-empti- at one dollar and twenty-fiv- e cents per acre, is of the highest importance. It tends to open many million acres of land to settlement at cheap rates and encourages western immigration. It is likely that much of the land affected, directly or indirectly, by this decision is worth at present little or noth- ing, but on the other hand there are also large and valuable tracts for which railroad com- panies have demanded more than ten times the price at which, under appropriate condi- tions, they may be now obtained. A question of interest in this connection is whether these persons who have bought lands trom railroad companies since the limitation expired can re- cover the money the? have paid in excess of the one dollar and twenty-fiv- e cents p.T acre, and whether their titles to lands obtained through railroad companies are good in law. DISTRICT BONDS. The First Rational Bank or New York, Known as John Sherman's Own. Dabbles in Them. Washington correspondent of the Cincin- nati Enquirer: Apropos of the special as- sessment bill, over which General Ilunton and Columbus Alexander have been firing newspaper wads at one another, it is claimed that the First national bank of New York, known as "Sherman's Own," holds special improvement liens to upward of a quarter of a million, and it is now pretty strongly ru- mored that the three-sixty-fi- bond ring, of which this bank is the acknowledged head, spent a quarter of a million dollars in se- curing the passage of the following clause in the permanent form of a government bill for the District of Columbia, viz : "Hereafter the secretary of the treasury shall pay inter- est on the three-sixty-fi- bonds of the Dis- trict of Columbia, issued in pursuance of an act of congress approved June 20, 1S74, when the same shall become due and payable, and all amounts so paid shall be credited as a part, of the appropriation for the year by the United States toward the expenses of the District of Columbia as hereinbefore provided." Thirteen million seven hundred and forty-thr- ee thousand two hundred and fifty dollars of these bonds are outstanding, the First national bank of New York being the principal holder. A short time before the passage of the bill they were quoted at seventy-six- , and a day after at eighty five. Thus upward of a million dol- lars was made on the rise. There are some ugly rumors afloat as to the manner in which the corruption fund to secure, the passage of the bill was disposed of and who received it An indignant property-owne- r avers that a Vermont Republican got away with twenty-fiv- e thousand dollars, and a Chicago member and a Maryland member with twelve thou- sand two hundred and fifty dollars apiece, and that the balance of the fund went to the senate committee, of which Chairman Dorsey got away with the hog's share.

J Brownsville, Tenn., July 25.' Accord ing to announcement, the Teachers' institute ot the ninth congressional district held its opening session Wednesday. The illness ot the btatc superintendent, and the absence ot Hon. tim J. Lea, caused by illness, too, 1 be- lieve, necessitated a change in programme. The latter gentleman was expected to deliver the address of welcome, but his place was well filled by Mr. Dond, who, in noting the growth of public-scho- ol interest throughout the land, said that our best security for the same irrowinsr interest in lennessee lay in the fact that the trust bad been committed to hands so able as those of our worthy State superintendent. In his behalf Mr. M'Gee replied appropriately. C. W. Anderson, of this place, in his handling of "The Teacher," showed his knowledge of tho subject to be thorough, clear and comprehensive. A lively discussion followed. Thursday morning the subject ot "Discipline" claimed the attention of the house. In the afternoon "Public and Private Schools." opened by C. W. Calen- der, of Sumner county, elicited many practi- cal suggestions as to the best methods of consolidating public and private schools, thereby increasing the efficiency of both. Superintendent Page, of Tipton, and Judge toute, ot Shelby, met the dimcijlties at once, with answers gathered from their own expe- rience. Just at this juncture the testimony of the institute was marred by the Baptist minister of the town, who made a fierce as- sault upon the public schools and cried down universal education as the wildest dream of the visionary. The appropriateness of such a speech in a convention of public school ed- ucators will at orite present itself. The ques- tion of the establishment of public schools is forever settled ; it only remains for the peo- ple to determine how these schools may be rendered more efficient, and this is the mis- sion of the institutes. For any man to thrust his anti-scho- ol opinions in the face of t.sse.m-ble- d public school educators is about as fitting as would be an lugersoll speech iu a Bapast conference. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT And Remarkable Escape or One Hun- dred Hen from Reins Crushed to Death A Ltnrge Fiy-Whe- el Breaks. Special to the Cincinnati Eniiulrer.l Pittsburg, July 24 An extraordinaty accident occurred a few minutes after seven o'clock this evenine at Painter & Son's mill. in the thirty-fourt- h ward, extraordinary in the manner ot the accident, in the amount of damage done and the escape of one hundred men who were working in the mill a few minutes before it fell into a promiscirous heap. At the time noted the belt that runs the governor of the engine in the mill slipped off or broke, letting ou several times more steam than was necessary to furnish the power required to run the mill. The engineer, seeing the imminent danger, not only got away in the twinkling of an eye, but succeeded almost instantaneously in com- municating his fright to the balance. and all scratched gravel at a rate that emptied the mill in less than half a minute. It was well they did. for the tremendous mo mentum given to the large el was sucn as to cause it to resolve itselt into a multitude of pieces, each piece flying with the velocity of a cannon-bal- l. So thoroughly and generally were the fragments distributed that they knocked almost every prop from under the structure, and caused it to settle into a heap of ruins. As it was supposed that the ruins would take fire, an alarm was sent in from box 117. Chief Evans got down in time to ascertain that there was no danger ot combustion, betore the engines arrived, and they did not go into service. It is diffi cult to estimate the foes, as it was impossible to tell the amount of damage the machinery had sustained, but it was supposed the en- gine was badly damaged, the cylinder-hea- d naving been mown out and all parts proba bly badly Btrained and warped. The struc ture covering the machinery was iron-cla- and, of course, not very expensive. The damage was placed at twenty thousand dol lars at a venture. In addition to present damage is the accompanying suspension of . . . . , 1 ii - I I m. wora unui me mm is reouut. i ne hroi are engaged in filling a large contract for cotton-ties- , and this mill was one of the tew that had been run double turn this season. PariM July 26: The Columbia Co'leu-- crew had a reception in the American It ad quar- ters of the exposition building this evening THE POTTER at Atlantic City, Take Additional Testimony from Sjpher, of Louisiana, who Tells a Story Yery Damaging to Hayes and the Visiting Statesmen he Com- missioned to Negotiate for the De- struction of the Packard Govern- ment, in which be is Sus- tained by Another Ex. Congressman. Atlantic City, N. J., July 26. The Pot- ter committee met this morning, and there was a larger number of auditors than usual. General Sipher, upon being recalled, said that he could not say that he had seen Sena- tor Sherman's signature in his autograph al- bums. Witness then told of the opposition to Packard in the convention that nominated him for governor and of the inke waranieis of many prominent Republicans during the canvass, they holding that undue influence had been exerted to secure his nomination. In conversation with Republican speakers witness learned at Feliciana, Monroe and Shreveport that stones were thrown at them, in addition to other indiguities. Witness said that to the best of his recollection he thought when Weber showed him the Sher- man letter it was in the handwriting of John Sherman, and was therefore genuine; there was no reason why the National ticket should run behind the State ticket ; many Republi- cans were opposed to the bayonet policy, which had lost the Republicans many north- ern States and injured the Republicans of Louisiana. Witness is not a Hayss Republi- can; we were divided on Wheeler; he, with his compromise, sold us out in 1872; we don't believe in compromises in that country, giv- ing everything to our foes and getting noth- ing in return. Chairman Potter asked whether the allega- tions of fraud and intimidation was not made after the election, and witness replied, "No; the charges of intimidation was made by the Republicans in parishes where their vote had fallen oft." Mr. Hiscock asked whether the Demo- crats sought to conciliate the colored people to vote their ticket ? Answer Yes ; in various ways, they did as you do in New York, buy voters. Tliey were very affectionate to them. Laughter. The Democrats organized a unification movement for the purpose of giv- ing the negroes squality with the whites in the street cars and in the public schools, out- stripping us, and it hurt us a little. Morry was called, and said there was no bulldozing done in Madi- son in 1876, and the result was in that parish there was an increase of one hundred and two votes over the usual Republican majority in 1874, The witness, one of the Republi- can counsel before the returning board, said the fact of intimidation, violence and mur- der in the bulldozed parishes was not dis puted. The machinery of the courts is iu the hands of the Democrats, and he never heard I ot au attempt being made to bring the offenders to justice. Elizi Pinkston lived in Ouchita parish, where the Democrats are iu power. Witness, from personal inspection, J was satisfied that tae woman had been dangerously maimed; she was carried into the room of the returning board on a sofa; the impression prevailed that this exhibition would havo a good effect, and his own im- pression was that it would be an excellent thing to do in furtherance of the cause; the nomination of Packard produced so much dissatisfaction that leading Repub-lican- s discussed whether it was not best National ticket. At one time there was no statute of limitation, the act having been ch inged in 1868 or 1869. Murderers and other wrong doers could therefore be arrested at any remote time. A couple of thousand murders had been reported by the congres- sional committee in 1868, when the Republi- cans had control of about two-thir- of the parishes. He did not know of a single con- viction for political murder under the admin- istration of either Governor Warmouth or Kellers. The same is true as to the Nich-oll- 's government. Witness said that on the face of the returns the Nicholls and Tilden electors had a majority; that the returning board threw out enough votes to elect Pack- ard, and after this threw out one thousand five hundred and twelve votes to elect the Hayes electors; this condition of things was discussed by prominent politicians, the visit ing statesmen and the Kepublican counsel; it was discussed by the party leaders on both sides; we tried to make under the lav a case for Packard, and presented protests against everything illegal or irregular; I made some figuring as to whut results would be pro duced if certain parish returns were thrown out; 1 think it probable that toe hgures were not mentioned to the visiting statesmen, but I naturally supposed the matter would be brought to their attention; I understood that the result of the calculation was sent to Florida, so as to come to the knowledge of the officials later on in the examination. Witness said that he had no doubt that the calculation concerning the ultimate result in Louisiana was communicated to the visiting politicians, as they were as much interested in knowing what would be the result in Lou isiana as the Republicaus there were in knowing what would be the result iu Florida. Witness, in answer to a auestion by Mr. Butler, said that the result in the State showed that both Packard and Hayes were elected under the laws; witness then testified at length regarding the Packard government and the the M'Yeagh commission; LeJ-ai- among other things, that atter Packard was inaugurated he could not be removed from office unless by impeachment, and no attempt was made to do this. Question Do you say that the commission wanted to effect a compromise between the legal legislature and a mob? Answer The commission atall times disclaimed having any authority, except of an advisory character, in the manner of effecting a compromise be- tween the Packard and Nichoils legislature. Ques. Did you say that such men as Gen- eral Hawley and Mr. M'V'eagh would advise a compromise between an illegal and a legal legislature? Witness answered in the affirm- ative, and added that, owing to his intimacy with General Hawley, he had free conversa- tions with him, and discovered that General Hawley desired what was fair, but was ham-oere- d bv his instructions: Packard was recog nized in all parts of the State, and was able to maintain himself at the capital with his own officers, and without assistance frcm the troops. Witness was then interrogated as to the formation of the Nicholls legislature, and related the means bv which the Packard leg islature was destroyed, such members of the latter as went to the forme.- - receiving their per diem and mileage, ouuie of them being paid; there were rumors that bribery had been used to break up the facKard legisla- ture, and this was discussed by the Republi- cans: it was the general understanding, and was felt by ttiose who believed that Packard was elected, that the mis sion of the commission, particularly, was to destroy the Packard government and to establish Nicholls; that the troops were to be withdrawn as part ot the scheme, and after the Packard government had been de- prived of their courts and court buildings, police and State, the white league was sworn in as Nicholls militia. The Republicans were dispirited, and labored in every honorable way to have the validity of the Packard govern- ment examined by the commissioners, and to provide means ot subsistence tor the adher ents of the Packard lngislature, who were very poor, as they remained with it longer than could be reasonably expected under the circumstances, and as long, it not longer, than white men would do in any State of the Union under simialar circumstances and in the face of the same degree of temptation from the opposite rarty. General Butler 1 wish you to distinctly understand it is not them I blame; I blame the tempter, not the timpted. Dd you be lieve that if the Packard government had had the recognition of the general govern ment. and sueh moral support as would en able it to from the mob the court- house and Sute arms, it could have main tained itself in Louisiana? Ans. My o.i belief is it would have been maintained; at.' the electoral commission counted the vote Florida for Hayes it was considered certain in New Orleans that the vote of Louisiana would also be counted tor Hayes, and there was not the least doubt that the Packard government would be maintained; this was the view of Democrats as well as Republicans. Further examination of witness will be re- sumed THE STATE BANK. What was Thoacht of the Institution by Old-Tim- e Demeeratle Leaders Away Back la IHSH-Vnanl-m- oas Condemnation. The following, which is taken from the Nashville Union, of September 27, I808, will be found interesting reading at the present juncture: A respectable number of intelligent Dem- ocrats, from various portions of the State, as- sembled at the Capitol yesterday for the pur- pose of consulting and comparing views on the subject of currency. The meeting was primary in its character, and only intended as a consultation of friends with a view to the general harmony of the party. Dr. Sam- uel Moore, of Hickman, acted as chairman of the meeting, and H. B. Claiborne, of David- son, as secretary. We were highly gratified with the good feelings and spirit of concilia- tion which pervaded the great body of the meeting, and especially with the well-time- d and humorous remarks of our old friend from Hawkins. After a full and fair comparison ot views, tho following report was adopted as embodying the sense of a majority of the meeting. It is moderate and conservative in tone, and we doubt not will meet the general acquiescence of our party throughout the State. Tho committee have agreed to the following propositions for the adoption of the meeting: First That it would be policy to any of the existing banks. Second That such reforms should be made in our currency during the existence of the present banks as will insure a sound circulat- ing medium, convertible at all times into gold and silver. Third That the several banks, as their re- spective charters shall expire, should go out of existence, and such steps should be taken, consistently with the public interest, as will secure the liquidation of the Bank of Ten- nessee at the expiration of its charter. 8.

Three Bates Over the Coarse of the Memphis Driving Association Slow Time, bat tiood Amusement "Leadmlne." 'Billy" and "Henry Clay" the Wlaaers. About three hundred people went out to Olympic park yesterday to witness the three trots set down on the association programme. Everything passed off pleasantly, and those who attended were were well pleased with the efforts of the managers to please them. tub Finer BACK was for mile heats, best two in three, be- tween Gallina's sorrel mare Mamie CS. and Faires's Leadruine. At the (hird attempt they got an even start, and trotted together for about two hundred yards, when the mare broke, and the horse got four or five lengths ahead, which was1 increased to seven or eight by the mare's constant breaking. The old dun trotted steadily, and maintained his lead to the finish, making the heat in 2:55. The second heat was started with the horse half a length ahead, which he increased to three lengths before reaching the quarter pole, when he Iroke badly, and the mare took the lead and the inside, which she kept till passing the stand on the first half mile, at which point the horse made a splendid Well into tbotuu'u-quirfuA-- ,- wunr'lifc"iJaU again, and the mare once more went to the front, where she remained but a short time, as Leadmine trotted steadily and overtook the mare a few yards from home, and kept gaining till the stand was passed, when he was five lengths ahead. Time 2:58. THE SECOND RACE was for three-minu- te horses, best three in five heats. There were three entries Helen, billy and Dock. Tne latter had the inside, Billy was next, and Helen on the outside. On the fourth start they got the word, with Billy a little in the lead, the mare next, and Dock last. The little chestnut Billy went right along and had an immense lead before the half-mil- e was made. Helen was gener- ally ahead of Dock. Billy won the heat by about fifty yards, Helen being some three lengths ahead of the big bay Dock. Time 2:57. The second heat was a " go ' on the third trial. Billy broke immediately atter leaving the Btand. but caught very soon and settled right down to business. Before the quarter was reached he led Helen about tnirty yards, and she was half that distance uhead of the hiir Hav. Killv trotted well durinz the rest of the heat, while Helen made several efforts . ,va lao4 lint KrnWo trm frpmientlv. and Billy passed the stand four lengths ahead ot Helen, who was about two lengins aneau cu Dock. Time 2:o8. . . . , A i?ood even start was had tor the third C r-- heat. The little horse soon got a lead ot one ldngth, which he kept till near the htraight track, when the mare broke, and Billy bia lead aud out-trott- the two from the half to the end of the mile, which he passed some twenty yards ahead ot Helen, and she the same distance aneau. oi ioca Time 2:54. Billy won a race that he was entitled to for steady, good worK trom tne start. THE THIRD RACE was a very amusing one. It was made up "iiist for fun." two best in three, for a purse of fifteen dollars. The entries were Henry Clav. Jesse and Wild Bill. These are well- - known roadsters. Wild Bill is a fast pacer, whose owner has recently determined to make him trot. Clav broke very badly in the first heat. and Jesse took and kept the lead to the finish. Whenever Wild Bill was left '.on far in the rear hi3 driver would let him na,w awhile so as to net in the neighborhood of the others. This was done at the request of the spectators, who cheered loudly when ever Wild Bill paced torward to tne leauer. I he second heat was won by Henry Clay, who trotted steadily from start to hnish Tim:t,92. The third heat and race was won by Henry Clav. After rjassing the stand the second tim t.T cnmnlete the mile, the drivers con eluded to let them go another half mile; and then Wild Bill went at his old pacing gait. and got to the front at the finish, which was highly enjoyed by the crowd.

THE YELLOIV FKVKB MCA RE.The people of the city were unduly excited

yesterday by the inJieciect we had almottsiij criminally indiscreet publication of aruport that the steamer John Porter had beenordered by the aotborilies of Vicksburtr to''are .Jthat fport, ami was en route to tbis

ity with several cacs of yellow fever aboard.This w.w wholly nennationid and in not true.The Porter was ict ordered away by theauthorities c--f Vickiburg; on the contrary,after landing: two feasts of yellow fever, bothof which died at the marine hospital, shewent on her way, but lonntf another hand bydeath from yellow-feve- r, returned, was al-

lowed to land the body lor burial and thenwas thoronjilily overhauled, fumigated anddisinfected by order of the health officer ofthe city. Thea, aain, the Porter was noten route for Memphis. Her destination isPittsburg. Piain lanuape, not intendedto excito ar.d alarm, would havestaled that ihe was expected to pass thispoint t n route for Pittsburg, and might, ifnot prevented by the board of health, landhere, and so convey to us the Infection cfyellow-feve- r. Uut the damage has bceadone. The people have been excittdto a degree bejarinjr anything we have ex-

perienced since when we were caughtby the yel!ow-f(jv- r without any preparationor anything like an intelligent intention inregvd to the right course to pursue. Hap-

pily, this is cot row the case. A difleretteof opinion between Ir. Mitchell on the onehnd, and iKictjrs John Erskine andK. F. Ilrown on t lie other, as to the proprietyof establishing quarantine two months ago,must not e conftrutd into a want of pre-paredness on the rart of the board of heslthfor a crisis Buch an the presence of a case ofyellow-feve- r might precipitate upon ar.Only a few days ego Ihe board of healthgave evidence that it was a live organizationby disinfecting thoroughly and cleaning cperenerally. so as to" maintain the usual star.-da- rd

of health and put the city in a conditionto fight successfully with tho yellow-fev- er

or any other epidemic disease that might beimported from abroad. It also, yesterday,notified the mayor tuat quarantine must beestablished, as yel.'ow-feve- r prevailed in NewOrleans. The major, ne. uting to obey theordinance in .such cise m:de andprovided, did not, a he shouldhave done, uf,aa his proclamation declaringquarantine establit-hec- ; and the general coun-

cil utterly nnd inexouably failed of itsduty, siuce it failed to tmt and provide forquarantine, and thus again luiled in the

cf a duty which the press of thecity and the people hove with rare unanimityagreed was one in ihe performance of whichthere should be no delay. We trust that ifby this morning at ten o'c'ock, at which hourthe council should be calkd together by themayor, steps are not taken by that body toprovide so much protection against epidemicdisease as nuarar.t ne will afford, a publicmeeting will be culled, to be held at thechamber of commerce, at which the recusantrepresentative thsll le hold up to meritedreprobation, and ut which the neces-sary funds : itay be - subscribedto maintain quurai.tine until the council isforced by an iolignant public to do so. Fornearly two month the Atpkai. his urgedthe establishment cf qu arantine as a sanitaryprecaution that wou'.d irreatly contribute toprevent aavthirg like the iJ road-sca- re whichyesterdjy, without any ra enable cause, tookpossession of our people. We have nppealedto the council to "provide for the establishment of quarantine, petitions to the same ef-

fect have been sent up to tbt body by.Jhemerchants, and a special committee of thecouncil, alter beaiu.t: all lL.it was possible in :

regard to it." rnwrtnd in i ;ivor cf it. But thecouncil was t it her moved by the Appeal,and the other', city papers, by the prayersand entreaties of tre people, nor by

San Francisco, July 23. The tales ofthose who po down to the sea in ships aremanifold, and many of them almost beyondcredence. Adventures by sea, ghastly stories of shipwreck, starvation, and even ofcannibalism are all too common, and many agallant bark has le't a friendly port, bearinghundreds of hopeful hearts to friends acrossthe ocean, or to new scenes and strange landsto seek a fortune, and has gone down 'withall on board, to be heard o? no more. Thelast ocean horror has been brought to lightby the schooner Parallel, which arrived to-day. The captain reports that on July 7th,when off the coast of California, about onehundred miles from this port, he fell in witha Japanese junk, with her sails in ribbons,and her standi nir rig&rincr flvine to all pointsof trie compass, with no one to handle her orsee whether she was on or oft her course. Nota living soul was there on the vessel, but ongoing between decks a ghastly and sickening'jight met the eyes of the schooner's crew.Scattered about in various attitudes were anumber of corpses, some shackled together,and several attired in rich and costly apparelThe appearance of the corpses and the sickening smell permeating the junk showed thatthe unfortunate ones must have died mnithan a month before they were found. Neta scrap of food was to be found on the vessel.and the natural inference is that all handsmust have perished of hunger. The mysterywill, in all probability, remain unsolved tillold ocean gives up its dead.

The Recent Decision of the InteriorDepartment Affirming its Bixht

Special to the 8t- - Louis TimesWashington, July 24. The recent deci-

sion of the interior department in a caseaffirming the right of the department to sellto settlers under the law landsstill undisposed of which bad been grantedto railroad companies, with a provision thatso much of them as remained unsold at theend of three years from the time of comple-tion of the road should be subject to entry andpre-empti- at one dollar and twenty-fiv- e

cents per acre, is of the highest importance.It tends to open many million acres of landto settlement at cheap rates and encourageswestern immigration. It is likely that muchof the land affected, directly or indirectly, bythis decision is worth at present little or noth-ing, but on the other hand there are also largeand valuable tracts for which railroad com-panies have demanded more than ten timesthe price at which, under appropriate condi-tions, they may be now obtained. A questionof interest in this connection is whether thesepersons who have bought lands trom railroadcompanies since the limitation expired can re-cover the money the? have paid in excess ofthe one dollar and twenty-fiv- e cents p.T acre,and whether their titles to lands obtainedthrough railroad companies are good in law.

The First Rational Bank or New York,Known as John Sherman's Own.

Dabbles in Them.

Washington correspondent of the Cincin-nati Enquirer: Apropos of the special as-

sessment bill, over which General Iluntonand Columbus Alexander have been firingnewspaper wads at one another, it is claimedthat the First national bank of New York,known as "Sherman's Own," holds specialimprovement liens to upward of a quarter ofa million, and it is now pretty strongly ru-mored that the three-sixty-fi- bond ring, ofwhich this bank is the acknowledged head,spent a quarter of a million dollars in se-

curing the passage of the following clause inthe permanent form of a government bill forthe District of Columbia, viz : "Hereafterthe secretary of the treasury shall pay inter-est on the three-sixty-fi- bonds of the Dis-trict of Columbia, issued in pursuance of anact of congress approved June 20, 1S74, whenthe same shall become due and payable, andall amounts so paid shall be creditedas a part, of the appropriation forthe year by the United States toward theexpenses of the District of Columbia ashereinbefore provided." Thirteen millionseven hundred and forty-thr- ee thousand twohundred and fifty dollars of these bonds areoutstanding, the First national bank of NewYork being the principal holder. A shorttime before the passage of the bill they werequoted at seventy-six- , and a day after ateighty five. Thus upward of a million dol-lars was made on the rise. There are someugly rumors afloat as to the manner in whichthe corruption fund to secure, the passage ofthe bill was disposed of and who received itAn indignant property-owne- r avers that aVermont Republican got away with twenty-fiv- e

thousand dollars, and a Chicago memberand a Maryland member with twelve thou-sand two hundred and fifty dollars apiece,and that the balance of the fund went to thesenate committee, of which Chairman Dorseygot away with the hog's share.

TEACHEKS' INSTITUTE

At Brownsville Discussion of Time-ly Toples A Baptist Preacher

- Makes a Raid Upon the Pub-li- e

Schools,

From a Special Correspondent of the Appeal. J

Brownsville, Tenn., July 25.' According to announcement, the Teachers' instituteot the ninth congressional district held itsopening session Wednesday. The illness otthe btatc superintendent, and the absence otHon. tim J. Lea, caused by illness, too, 1 be-

lieve, necessitated a change in programme.The latter gentleman was expected to deliverthe address of welcome, but his place waswell filled by Mr. Dond, who, in noting thegrowth of public-scho- ol interest throughoutthe land, said that our best security for thesame irrowinsr interest in lennessee lay inthe fact that the trust bad been committed tohands so able as those of our worthy Statesuperintendent. In his behalf Mr. M'Geereplied appropriately. C. W. Anderson, ofthis place, in his handling of "The Teacher,"showed his knowledge of tho subject to bethorough, clear and comprehensive. A livelydiscussion followed. Thursday morning thesubject ot "Discipline" claimed the attentionof the house. In the afternoon "Public andPrivate Schools." opened by C. W. Calen-der, of Sumner county, elicited many practi-cal suggestions as to the best methods ofconsolidating public and private schools,thereby increasing the efficiency of both.Superintendent Page, of Tipton, and Judgetoute, ot Shelby, met the dimcijlties at once,with answers gathered from their own expe-rience. Just at this juncture the testimonyof the institute was marred by the Baptistminister of the town, who made a fierce as-

sault upon the public schools and cried downuniversal education as the wildest dream ofthe visionary. The appropriateness of sucha speech in a convention of public school ed-

ucators will at orite present itself. The ques-tion of the establishment of public schools isforever settled ; it only remains for the peo-ple to determine how these schools may berendered more efficient, and this is the mis-sion of the institutes. For any man to thrusthis anti-scho- ol opinions in the face of t.sse.m-ble- d

public school educators is about as fittingas would be an lugersoll speech iu a Bapastconference.

At the time noted the belt thatruns the governor of the engine in the millslipped off or broke, letting ou several timesmore steam than was necessary to furnishthe power required to run the mill. Theengineer, seeing the imminent danger, notonly got away in the twinkling of an eye,but succeeded almost instantaneously in com-municating his fright to the balance.and all scratched gravel at a rate thatemptied the mill in less than half a minute.It was well they did. for the tremendous momentum given to the large el wassucn as to cause it to resolve itselt into amultitude of pieces, each piece flying withthe velocity of a cannon-bal- l. So thoroughlyand generally were the fragments distributedthat they knocked almost every prop fromunder the structure, and caused it to settleinto a heap of ruins. As it was supposedthat the ruins would take fire, an alarm wassent in from box 117. Chief Evans got downin time to ascertain that there was no dangerot combustion, betore the engines arrived,and they did not go into service. It is difficult to estimate the foes, as it was impossibleto tell the amount of damage the machineryhad sustained, but it was supposed the en-gine was badly damaged, the cylinder-hea- d

naving been mown out and all parts probably badly Btrained and warped. The structure covering the machinery was iron-cla-

and, of course, not very expensive. Thedamage was placed at twenty thousand dollars at a venture. In addition to presentdamage is the accompanying suspension of. . . . ,1 ii - I I m.wora unui me mm is reouut. i ne hroi areengaged in filling a large contract for cotton-ties- ,

Witnesssaid that to the best of his recollection hethought when Weber showed him the Sher-man letter it was in the handwriting of JohnSherman, and was therefore genuine; therewas no reason why the National ticket shouldrun behind the State ticket ; many Republi-cans were opposed to the bayonet policy,which had lost the Republicans many north-ern States and injured the Republicans ofLouisiana. Witness is not a Hayss Republi-can; we were divided on Wheeler; he, withhis compromise, sold us out in 1872; we don'tbelieve in compromises in that country, giv-

ing everything to our foes and getting noth-ing in return.

Chairman Potter asked whether the allega-tions of fraud and intimidation was not madeafter the election, and witness replied, "No;the charges of intimidation was made by theRepublicans in parishes where their vote hadfallen oft."

Mr. Hiscock asked whether the Demo-crats sought to conciliate the colored peopleto vote their ticket ? Answer Yes ; in variousways, they did as you do in New York, buyvoters. Tliey were very affectionate to them.Laughter. The Democrats organized a

unification movement for the purpose of giv-ing the negroes squality with the whites inthe street cars and in the public schools, out-stripping us, and it hurt us a little.

Morry was called, andsaid there was no bulldozing done in Madi-son in 1876, and the result was in that parishthere was an increase of one hundred andtwo votes over the usual Republican majorityin 1874, The witness, one of the Republi-can counsel before the returning board, saidthe fact of intimidation, violence and mur-der in the bulldozed parishes was not disputed. The machinery of the courts is iu thehands of the Democrats, and he never heard I

ot au attempt being made to bring theoffenders to justice. Elizi Pinkston lived inOuchita parish, where the Democrats are iupower. Witness, from personal inspection, J

was satisfied that tae woman had beendangerously maimed; she was carried intothe room of the returning board on a sofa;the impression prevailed that this exhibitionwould havo a good effect, and his own im-pression was that it would be an excellentthing to do in furtherance of the cause; thenomination of Packard produced somuch dissatisfaction that leading Repub-lican- s

discussed whether it was not bestNational ticket. At one time there was nostatute of limitation, the act having beench inged in 1868 or 1869. Murderers andother wrong doers could therefore be arrestedat any remote time. A couple of thousandmurders had been reported by the congres-sional committee in 1868, when the Republi-cans had control of about two-thir- of theparishes. He did not know of a single con-viction for political murder under the admin-istration of either Governor Warmouth orKellers. The same is true as to the Nich-oll- 's

government. Witness said that on theface of the returns the Nicholls and Tildenelectors had a majority; that the returningboard threw out enough votes to elect Pack-ard, and after this threw out one thousandfive hundred and twelve votes to elect theHayes electors; this condition of things wasdiscussed by prominent politicians, the visiting statesmen and the Kepublican counsel;it was discussed by the party leaders on bothsides; we tried to make under the lav a casefor Packard, and presented protests againsteverything illegal or irregular; I made somefiguring as to whut results would be produced if certain parish returns were thrownout; 1 think it probable that toe hgures werenot mentioned to the visiting statesmen, butI naturally supposed the matter would bebrought to their attention; I understood thatthe result of the calculation was sent toFlorida, so as to come to the knowledge ofthe officials later on in the examination.Witness said that he had no doubt that thecalculation concerning the ultimate result inLouisiana was communicated to the visitingpoliticians, as they were as much interestedin knowing what would be the result in Louisiana as the Republicaus there were inknowing what would be the result iu Florida.

Witness, in answer to a auestion by Mr.Butler, said that the result in the Stateshowed that both Packard and Hayes wereelected under the laws; witness then testifiedat length regarding the Packard governmentand the the M'Yeagh commission; LeJ-ai-

among other things, that atter Packard wasinaugurated he could not be removed fromoffice unless by impeachment, and no attemptwas made to do this.

Question Do you say that the commissionwanted to effect a compromise between thelegal legislature and a mob? Answer Thecommission atall times disclaimed having anyauthority, except of an advisory character, inthe manner of effecting a compromise be-

tween the Packard and Nichoils legislature.Ques. Did you say that such men as Gen-

eral Hawley and Mr. M'V'eagh would advisea compromise between an illegal and a legallegislature? Witness answered in the affirm-ative, and added that, owing to his intimacywith General Hawley, he had free conversa-tions with him, and discovered that GeneralHawley desired what was fair, but was ham-oere- d

bv his instructions: Packard was recognized in all parts of the State, and was ableto maintain himself at the capital with hisown officers, and without assistance frcm thetroops. Witness was then interrogated as tothe formation of the Nicholls legislature, andrelated the means bv which the Packard legislature was destroyed, such members of thelatter as went to the forme.- - receiving theirper diem and mileage, ouuie of them beingpaid; there were rumors that bribery hadbeen used to break up the facKard legisla-ture, and this was discussed by the Republi-cans: it was the general understanding, andwas felt by ttiose who believed thatPackard was elected, that the mission of the commission, particularly,was to destroy the Packard government andto establish Nicholls; that the troops wereto be withdrawn as part ot the scheme, andafter the Packard government had been de-

prived of their courts and court buildings,police and State, the white league was swornin as Nicholls militia. The Republicans weredispirited, and labored in every honorable wayto have the validity of the Packard govern-ment examined by the commissioners, and toprovide means ot subsistence tor the adherents of the Packard lngislature, who werevery poor, as they remained with it longerthan could be reasonably expected under thecircumstances, and as long, it not longer, thanwhite men would do in any State of theUnion under simialar circumstances and in theface of the same degree of temptation fromthe opposite rarty.

General Butler 1 wish you to distinctlyunderstand it is not them I blame; I blamethe tempter, not the timpted. Dd you believe that if the Packard government hadhad the recognition of the general government. and sueh moral support as would enable it to from the mob the court-house and Sute arms, it could have maintained itself in Louisiana? Ans. My o.ibelief is it would have been maintained; at.'the electoral commission counted the vote

Florida for Hayes it was considered certainin New Orleans that the vote of Louisianawould also be counted tor Hayes, and therewas not the least doubt that the Packardgovernment would be maintained; this wasthe view of Democrats as well as Republicans.

Condemnation.

The following, which is taken from theNashville Union, of September 27, I808, willbe found interesting reading at the presentjuncture:

A respectable number of intelligent Dem-ocrats, from various portions of the State, as-

sembled at the Capitol yesterday for the pur-pose of consulting and comparing views onthe subject of currency. The meeting wasprimary in its character, and only intendedas a consultation of friends with a view tothe general harmony of the party. Dr. Sam-uel Moore, of Hickman, acted as chairman ofthe meeting, and H. B. Claiborne, of David-son, as secretary. We were highly gratifiedwith the good feelings and spirit of concilia-tion which pervaded the great body of themeeting, and especially with the well-time- d

and humorous remarks of our old friend fromHawkins. After a full and fair comparisonot views, tho following report was adopted asembodying the sense of a majority of themeeting. It is moderate and conservative intone, and we doubt not will meet the generalacquiescence of our party throughout theState. Tho committee have agreed to thefollowing propositions for the adoption of themeeting:

First That it would be policy toany of the existing banks.

Second That such reforms should be madein our currency during the existence of thepresent banks as will insure a sound circulat-ing medium, convertible at all times intogold and silver.

Third That the several banks, as their re-spective charters shall expire, should go outof existence, and such steps should be taken,consistently with the public interest, as willsecure the liquidation of the Bank of Ten-nessee at the expiration of its charter.

was for mile heats, best two in three, be-

tween Gallina's sorrel mare Mamie CS. andFaires's Leadruine. At the (hird attemptthey got an even start, and trotted togetherfor about two hundred yards, when the marebroke, and the horse got four or five lengthsahead, which was1 increased to seven or eightby the mare's constant breaking. The olddun trotted steadily, and maintained hislead to the finish, making the heat in 2:55.

The second heat was started with the horsehalf a length ahead, which he increased tothree lengths before reaching the quarterpole, when he Iroke badly, and the maretook the lead and the inside, which she kepttill passing the stand on the first half mile,at which point the horse made a splendidWell into tbotuu'u-quirfuA-- ,- wunr'lifc"iJaUagain, and the mare once more went to thefront, where she remained but a short time,as Leadmine trotted steadily and overtook themare a few yards from home, and keptgaining till the stand was passed, when hewas five lengths ahead. Time 2:58.

THE SECOND RACEwas for three-minu- te horses, best three in fiveheats. There were three entries Helen,billy and Dock. Tne latter had the inside,Billy was next, and Helen on the outside.On the fourth start they got the word, withBilly a little in the lead, the mare next, andDock last. The little chestnut Billy wentright along and had an immense lead beforethe half-mil- e was made. Helen was gener-ally ahead of Dock. Billy won the heat byabout fifty yards, Helen being some threelengths ahead of the big bay Dock. Time2:57.

The second heat was a " go ' on the thirdtrial. Billy broke immediately atter leavingthe Btand. but caught very soon and settledright down to business.

THE THIRD RACEwas a very amusing one. It was made up"iiist for fun." two best in three, for a purseof fifteen dollars. The entries were HenryClav. Jesse and Wild Bill. These are well- -known roadsters. Wild Bill is a fast pacer,whose owner has recently determined tomake him trot. Clav broke very badly in thefirst heat. and Jesse took and kept the leadto the finish. Whenever Wild Bill was left'.on far in the rear hi3 driver would let himna,w awhile so as to net in the neighborhoodof the others. This was done at the requestof the spectators, who cheered loudly whenever Wild Bill paced torward to tne leauer.
