The Catholic Relief Association of New
Orleans have issued an appeal to the Arch
bishops, Bishops, clerey of all churches, and
all charitably disposed persons, to aid them.
Their object is to collect funds for the sup
port and care of the lar-.e number of widows
and orphans caused by the fever, irrespec

Kellogg has complained to the Navy De
partment of the late open letter written by
Lieutenant Commander Kells, U. S. N-,
acainst him, and requests that such conduct
be investigated. Mr. Kells has been re

the department.
Sir Knight Vincent L. Hurlbut, Grand
Commander of Knights Templar of the
United States, has addressed an appeal to
the Knights Templar throughout the coun

the fever sufferers.
Mr. Hayes arrived in Chicago yesterday,
and was enthusiastically received. He was
escorted to the Chamber of Commerce,
w here he made a speech in which he said
that the great danger to the country was to be
-- ■ rehended from legislative tinkering with
the finances. He said that no matter how
much we may have differed on the ques-
tion of the expediency of specie resumption
it was now a settled fact, and the country
w 1 tier off for its final disposition.
There was a heavy frost at St. Louis yes-

The Maine House of Representatives
stands : Republicans 65, Democrats elected
r v Kepu: -ns 2, straight-out Democrats 27,
and Greenbackers 57. Thirteen out of the
27 Democrats were elected on the straight
ticket, and will hold the balance of power.
The remaining 14 Democrats were elected
with Greenback aid.
The Secretary of the Treasury has de
cided to postpone temporarily the execution
of bis recent Older for the exchange of sil

Our vellow fever dispatches announce in
New Orieans two hundred and twenty-eight
new cases and fifty-eight deaths. In
Grenada fourteen cases and two deaths. In
Canton, where the situation is said to be
terri’ le, thirty-six new cases and four
deaths, and in Baton Rouge fifty new cases
and three deaths.
The report of the Commissioner of Agri
culture on the condition of the cotton crop
so far in September, shows an average of
90 per cent, against 95 in August of this
year, and of ril in September, 1877. It says
the decline in the condition is not greater
than usual, and still leaves a high averagt
of vitality to meet the vicissitudes of the
autumn. Its promise is better than that of
its predecessor, and its acreage has been
considerably increased. If the remainder
of the season should prove as favorable as
last year the yield will equal If not exceed
the great ante-bellum crops.
The South Carolina Railroad case was

The Governor of Mississippi has appointed
the 29th instant as a day of prayer for relief
from the yellow fever plague.
Among the yellow fever victims in New
Orleans are nearly the entire family of Rev.
Max Moses, formerly of the Jackson Street
Synagogue. He has lost his wife and two
children. Only one child is left him, and
that Is convalescing.
A severe equinoctial storm raged with
great fury in Pittsburg for three days, doing
no damage in the city, but effecting great

in the country.
Tire Gulf Stream.—According to
the New York lit raid, Captain Coffin, of
the brig Derigo, bound from Marseilles
to New York, via Gibraltar, has made
what seems to be a remarkable discove
ry. He reports, from careful observa
tions made by him at the time and sub
sequently verified, that the chart of the
gulf stream between longitudes 54 and
57 is incorrect. His calculations place
the limits of the current full sixty miles
south of the positions they hold on the
chart. The importance of this discover}’
to mariners is obvious,if the observations
made by other navigators in the same
longitudes establish beyond cavil the
correctness of his calculations. In that
event an immediate change in the exist
ing charts of the stream will become
necessary.
The number of trade doilars| is ex
tremely small; about one dollar in thir
teen, say £50,000,000 out of $050,000,000
of the national bank currency and legal
tender notes, is issued in $1 and $2 notes.
During the last year, not more than
5,000,000 trade dollars have been mixed
with the ones and twos with which
nearly ail the retail business of the coun
try is carried on. This makes about one
dollar in seventeen. In all, about 85,-
000,000 trade dollars have been coined.
The returns show that £11,500,000 have
been exported; the Bank of Nevada, the
only large holder, has $500,000, and this
leaves the amount afloat only $5,000,000.
Tea culture, it is now thought, may he
accomplished in those parts of the
L'nited States where the climate is suita
ble, through the use of newly invented
Jabor-saving machinery for withering
and curing the leaves. It is the cost of
doing the tedious work of curing and
preparing the tea by hand that has here
tofore made tea culture unprofitable in
the United States. Artificial heat is re
sorted to—much, we suppose, as it is
now a-days for drying fruit.
The defeat of an election for Governor
of Maine throws the choice into the Leg
islature. The constitution of .Maine pro
vides that when no candidate for Gov
ernor shall receive a majority of all the
votes cast, the House of Representatives
shall vote by ballot for the four highest
candidates for Governor and elect two
persons, whose names shall be sent to
the Senate, and from the two so named
the Senate must elect a Governor.
Heating New Y’ork by Wholesale.
—General Spinola is making a vigorous
effort to secure permission from the
New Y’ork authorities to lay steam
pipes in the streets so as to introduce the
Hoely system of heating dwellings and

into that city. At present the Board of
Aldermen are equally divided for and

Kellogg Complains to the Government
It will be remembered that a short
time ago the man who pretends to repre
sent Louisiana in the L'nited States Sen
ate, William Pitt Kellogg, with a degree
of meanness such as only he and his po
litical confederates could be capable of,
attempted to malign and viliify the noble
charitable associations of New Orleans,
the latchet of the shoes of the hum
blest of whom he is unworthy to unloose.
He represented to the War Department
at Washington that jealousies existed
among these organizations, and requested
that all donations of whatever kind
sent by the government to the sick, dy
ing and destitute of New Orleans, be
issued to the sufferers through those two
fragrant specimens of humanity, his pals,
James Madison Wells and Thomas C.
Anderson.
What could have been the object of
this quintessence of all that is vile in
thus, while taking good care of their
own worthless carcass in Washington,
villifying and getting up false reports
regarding men who are heroically
and unselfishly devoting their time,
health and lives to the cause of
their stricken fellow men, it is hard to
say. Perhaps he did it because it was
the nature of the beast, and he could not
help it; or what is not improbable, per
haps he thought that if his special pals
had the handling of so many provisions,
etc., they might see some way of turn
ing an honest penny for the benefit of
the worthy triumvirate at the expense of
the dying, while at the same time
they would make capital for their
party by doling out the government
bounty. At any rate, whatever was
the cause, Lieutenant Kells, of the
L'nited States Navy, who is nobly work
ing as a member of the relief committee
of New Orleans, wrote a pungent, caus
tic and true letter to the bogus Senator,
in which he, after showing him (Kel
logg) up in his true character, gives him
the lie direct.
Now we learn from our dispatches
that this man Kellogg, instead of re
senting the insult like a man, has,
true to his nature, turned whiningly,
like a wjjipped cur, to the Navy De
partment and complained against Mr.
Kells, and that department has requested
this gentleman to forward to it a copy
of his letter.
We know not what the department
will do, but it is clear that it can legally
take no action in this matter. Mr. Kells
addressed his letter to Kellogg, not as a
naval officer writing to one calling him
self United States Senator,but as plain Mr.
Kells to William Kellogg—as man to man.
Kellogg's action, therefore, in running
to the Navy Department with his com
plaint can have no other effect than to
add to the contempt in which he is al
ready held by decent people, and he is
not likely to enjoy the mean spirited re
venge of seeing Mr. Kells even repri
manded. But what supreme disgrace to
the American people, and especially to
the United States Senate, it is to have
such a miserable creature sitting as a
member of the highest branch of the
National Legislature.
The Maine Surprise in Washington
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: “The politicians of
both parties concur that the result of the
Alaine election will have an important
influence on the fall elections yet to come.
Whatever lingering hopes the Republi
cans may have had of obtaining control
of the next House are now effectually
dissipated, and the Democrats are confi
dently claiming that the majority of their
party will not be less than forty, which
is double the present majority. The
spectacle of a Maine Democrat in the
House of Representatives will certainly
be quite novel, and the signs of the times
indicate that Democrats will he returned
from other quarters where they have been
quite as scarce as in Maine. It is con
clusively demonstrated now, contrary to
what has been held by some politi
cians who pass for wiseacres, that the
Greenback and Labor element is the
source of danger to the Republican and
of aid to the Democratic party. A lead
ing Massachusetts Republican, who has
been Governor of the State, and who has
served in both branches of Congress, says
the result in Maine will imperil very
much Republican prospects in Massachu
setts, and that he will be agreeably dis
appointed if the Democrats do not gain
on the Congressional delegation from
Massachusetts. ”
Ballot-box stuffing of a very salutary
kind is now being practiced at a lively
rate in many of the Northern cities. The
glass boxes, which in New York are
used upon election days to receive the
ballots of the people, are now set up in
public places to receive their cash for the
benefit of the yellow fever sufferers of
the South. When the idea was first sug
gested the fear was expressed that the
boxes might remain as empty as those
which, years ago, were erected to receive
contributions for the Washington monu
ment. The result has proved otherwise.
The first twenty-four hours' receipts at
the New Y'ork post office were about
eighty dollars; the next over one hundred
and thirty; anchso it goes on, the contri
butions being in all manner of amounts,
from nickels and postage stamps to green
backs. Thousands of people thus have
an opportunity to contribute who will
not otherwise be approached, and thou
sands of dollars may be raised for the
suffereis which would not otherwise be
reached.
The Balance of Power in Pennsyl
vania.—The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun says : “A well in
formed gentleman, thoroughly familiar
with Pennsylvania politics, has just re
turned from a trip through the State, and
says that there is great excitement among
the old parties. The gentleman is a Re
publican, but says he is satisfied that the
Greenback party will hold the balance of
power in the Pennsylvania Legislature,
and that Senator Don Cameron will prob
ably be defeated in his efforts for re-elec
tion. He says the Greenback party can
not be bought by Cameron’s money, and
that the Democrats will join with the
Greenbackers in the Legislature to effect
Cameron’s defeat.”
That silly remark from Hayes at Min
neapolis to the effect that the American
people will always treat a man well as
long as he means well is met by the New
York Tribune in this abrupt and dis
courteous style: “The public servants
and political leaders the American people
want are men who do well as well as
mean well. ” Gracious knows Mr. Hayes
is doing welL Isn't he living like a fight
ing cock, jamboreeing over the country
making campaign speeches and pocket
ing Mr. Tilden’s salary of fifty thousand
dollars a year? Dowell, indeed! Why
Grant didn’t do much better.
Shrewd party observers in Washing
ton say that the strength of the Green
back element, as shown by the recent
election in Maine, indicates that the next
House will be organized on the Green
back idea, and that either the West or
South will get the Speakership, and that
the Eastern Democracy must get to the
Effect of the Greenback Movement in
the North.
The New York World regards the
Greenback movement in the North as a
sure means of disintegration and defeat
of the Radical party even in its strong
holds. Commenting on the result of
the election in Maine, which has so sur
prised the most confident Radical
leaders, the World says ;
“If our Republican friends will look
over the map of the United States they
will find that Greenback movements have
lost Indiana to the Republicans, Maine
to the Republicans, Pennsylvania to the
Republicans, Ohio to the Republicans,
part of Vermont to the Republicans.
They will not find that in any Demo
cratic State the National or any other
third party movement has placed the
Democratic domination in danger, even
when the Republican minority has fos
tered it and aided it. As for the
particular instance, one section of
the Maine Democracy has 'disinte
grated'—that is, has joined with
the Republican malcontents and over
thrown the Blaine power, which the
party united had been unable to do.
Who is it that is hurt? And when the
craze is over and there is a rearrange
ment of lines, which party will form the
most compactly and readily? The Demo
cratic party has been through several
crises and has had its ‘cataclysms,’ hut
it has always survived to bury its an
tagonist. We invite our esteemed Re
publican contemporaries to remark that
this National movement is going to cost
their party several States and not a few
Congressmen, and in view of this cir
cumstance may we not invite them, in
the words of Sir. Dickens’ reduced gen
tlewoman to her would-be benefactor,
to 'disseminate their goose in their own
sphere?' ”
No Tears for Little Hale.
AYhile the result of the election in
Maine is gratifying in the main, there is,
says the Baltimore Gazette, an especial
gratification in knowing that Mr. Eugene
Hale, better known as “Blaine’s bub,”
has been placed on the cooling hoard.
Hale is a contemptible whiffet who has
been struggling for years to attract atten
tion in politics by his malevolence and
general curishness. He has represented
the Fifth Maine district in the House five
times. His chief distinction is that he
is a son-inlaw of Zach Chandler.
Through the influence of the profane and
bibulous Zachariah, once a power among
the kings (and aces), Grant was in
duced to offer Hale the Postmaster
Generalship in 1874, with the under
standing that he would decline. This
by way of advertisement. It is said that
Hayes tendered him a place in his Cabi
net, and although there has never been a
Cabinet which he could have so well
adorned, he declined this honor also.
The Liliputian has been aspiring all this
while to the Senate and has been looking
forward to the day of supreme happiness
for starving Maine politicians, when
Blaine is to dispense bread and cheese in
the White House. Mr. Hale has proba
bly reached his political apogee. A
manikin in intellect, with the mean
methods and implacable animosities of a
diseased dwarf, he will now collapse
with the suddenness of a boy’s punctured
Christmas balloon, without even the
satisfaction of creating a bad smell.
After the Daddy Dollars.—The
following dispatch was sent to papers in
the Southern Associated Press on the
3d inst.: "The Secretary of the Treasury
has just issued a circular giving Dotice
that the standard silver dollar will be
sent to parties desiring, at the expense
of the government, in sums not exceed
ing $10,000.” #
The dispatch, as will be seen, left out
the important fact that a certificate of
deposit of legal tenders for the amount
of silver desired by any one would first
have to he secured. Secretary Sherman
on Wednesday received a letter from
Griffin, Ga., enclosing the dispatch to
the Southern Associated Press, and say
ing:
“This looks like the wind had got in
the right direction at last. Have had an
abiding faith that our turn would come,
and so it has—and have been satisfied
that all would be right in the end. Have
no place to put it all at present; so please
send to each of us $6,000 per express,
and place remaining $4,000 to our credit
in bank. Yours, etc.,

It is impossible to obtain [the exact
number of deaths caused by yellow fever
in the South. The confusion and de
moralization are great, and the physici
ans and nurses so pressed for time that
they cannot always make returns. The
total number of fatal cases to date is not
far short of five thousand, however, and
the following approximate estimate by
the St. Louis Uepubliean, of the mortali
ty at the principal cities and towns, may
he accepted as nearly correct :
New Orleans 1,600 Hickman 30
Memphis 1,200 Greenville, Miss... 40
Vicksburg 400 Holly Springs..... SJ5
Grenada 220 Baton Rouge 30
Port Gibson. TO
Canton 40 Total 4,456
This leaves the deaths of refugees un
accounted for, and does not include those
w ho died in various villages and small
towns, which, if accurately reported,
would swell the figures nearly to the
round five thousand. It is terrible to
contemplate that the fearful disease has
at ’.east a month to run unchecked by
frost.
THE SCOURGE IN MEMPHIS.
A Statement from tlie Howard*
ShoHlng the Necessities of tbe
Situation.
Memphis, September 11.—We have at
this date three thousand five hundred
sick to provide for and ten thousand well
people to feed. The average increase of
cases s one hundred and the average
deaths one hundred per day. No signs
of abatement of the fever, though the
weather has turned cold and we have
hopes that the back of the epidemic has
been broken.
Total daily expenses of the Howard
Association and Citizens Relief Com
mittee are about $11,000. We
have on hand about $55,000,
enough for about five days. Contribu
tions are coming at present at the rate
of about six thousand five hundred dol
lars per day. which may decrease at any
momeut. If the fever continues one
month longer, as is likely, with gradual
abatement within that time, we w ill need
from one hundred and fifty thousand to
two hundred thousand dollars, and about
three hundred thousand rations. We
also need one hundred and twenty-five
mattrasses, blankets, sheets and pillows,
every day, to replace those destroyed
by or ler of the Board of Health,
and on which persons have died.
We have been helping and are still help
ing Grenada, Brownsville and Hernando,
and have calls from other adjacent
points, which are daily increasing. If
these calls and this increase is not greater
than it has been, the above amount of
money and number of rations would
satisfy the wants of the people until the
epidemic is over. We need the money
to pay for physicians, nurses, medicines
and medical supplies for the convales
cent. A. D. Langstaff,

SUMMARY OF THE REPORTS OF TIIE COTTON
CROP.
Washington*, September 13.—The Sep
tember returns to the Department of Agricul
ture show that the condition of the cotton
crop will average 90 against 95 in August,
1376, and 86 iQ September, 1877. The de
cline in the condition is not greater than
usual, and still leaves a high average of vi
tality to meet the vicissitudes of the au
tumn. Its promise is better than that of
its predecessor, and its acreage has been
considerably increased. If the remaining
part of the season of growth, and the pick
ing season should be as favorable as last
year, there will be a considerable increase in
the yieid, which will equal, if not exceed,
that of the great ante bdliun crop.
The conditions of growth vary greatly in
the different zones of the cotton field. In
some counties the extreme heat of July
lasted till late in August, causing great loss
of bolls. In others excessive rains produced
rust and rot, and insect ravages were for
midable only in a few localities, notably in
the canebrake region of Alabama. Some
correspondents consider a moderate visita
tion of worms as a benefit in stripping the
plant of its excessive foliage.
The State averages were as follows: North
Carolina 86, a gain of 4 over August figures;
South Carolina 80, a loss of 17; Georgia 81,
a loss of 11; Florida 91, a loss of 8; Ala-,
bama 92, a loss of 6; Mississippi 89, a loss
of 3; Louisiana 83, a loss of 7; Texas 101, a
loss of 7; Arkansas 98, same as in August;
Tennessee 91, a loss of 1.

SEVERE STORM IN PITTSBURG.
Pittsburg, Pa., September 13.—The se

has been done in the city yet, but the rural
districts report great destruction, especially
of railroad property.
MURDERED THROUGH JEALOUSY.

Where we will be glad to see our patrons and the public at large. We feel justi
fied in saying that a visit to our new quarters will be quite a treat Nothing has
been left undone in fitting up our
NEW VARIETY STORE
with all the modem improvements for the convenience of the public and ourselves,
as our business has been steadily on the increase, and we have been compelled to
labor under great disadvantage by not being able to show our large and varied
stock, which we usually keep, in proper season. We wish to impress it upon the
minds of the public not to expect too much of us at the present season. We will
have in a few weeks a large stock, consisting of most everything usually kept in a
first class variety store.
