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.

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.

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.

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.lPittsburg, July 24 An extraordinaty

accident occurred a few minutes after seveno'clock this evenine at Painter & Son's mill.in the thirty-fourt- h ward, extraordinary inthe manner ot the accident, in the amount ofdamage done and the escape of one hundredmen who were working in the mill a fewminutes before it fell into a promiscirousheap. 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- ,

THE POTTER

at Atlantic City, TakeAdditional 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 therewas a larger number of auditors than usual.

General Sipher, upon being recalled, saidthat he could not say that he had seen Sena-tor Sherman's signature in his autograph al-

bums. Witness then told of the oppositionto Packard in the convention that nominatedhim for governor and of the inke waranieisof many prominent Republicans during thecanvass, they holding that undue influencehad been exerted to secure his nomination.In conversation with Republican speakerswitness learned at Feliciana, Monroe andShreveport that stones were thrown at them,in addition to other indiguities. 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.

Further examination of witness will be re-sumed

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.

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. Before the quarterwas reached he led Helen about tnirty yards,and she was half that distance uhead of thehiir Hav. Killv trotted well durinz the restof the heat, while Helen made several efforts

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.
