Yellow Fever at New Orleans. Samuel Chjappin, president of the board of health of New Orleans, has written Surgeon-General Woodworth, reporting the existence of yellow fever in New Orleans, He says: About the 12th inst. caaee began to occur in the practice of several of our physicians near the intersection of Constance and Terpsichore streets, which presented suspicious symptoms, and we now reckon fourteen cases of infection with six deaths. In addition to those seven other cases have come to light at different points and much more scattered, four of which have already resulted fatally. We are endeavoring to trace the origin of this outbreak, but so far find no connection with any foreign source.

ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS.

One of the chimpanzees recently exhibited in this city died last night at Terre Haute of cholera morbus. An autopsy was instituted io-day. * “Observer” calls for the suppression of the negroee and white women who make a moral nuisance of themaelve* on West Market and Potomac streets. He says they had notice to leave over a week ago, and wants to know why the police d« not

arrest them.

The city court docket this morning contained the names of none but women, a circumstance the like of which was never before known, according to the best recollection. As the cases all went over for examination, the mayor had an opportuity to clear up a lot of caees hanging fire, John Hoefgen, living south of the city was accidently snot by his son this forenoon. The boy had undertaken to kill a spring chicken" with a shot gun. The load entered the legs of his parent whom he did not see, ag he was concealed behind some grape vines. Most of the load went inso Mr. H.’s legs, and though the wounds are painful they are not dangerous. Several days ago John Connialtio, costermonger on Illinois street opposite the Academy of Music, was arrested on complaint of a colored woman, and fined for assault and battery upon her boy. Connialtio was not allowed an interpreter, and being alone could make no defense. Mayor Caven now has a petition signed by residents and business men in the neighborhood, asking a revision of the judgment and new trial, stating that no assault what-

ever was committed.

New Public Library Building.

At the next meeting of the board of commissioners a proposition will be made to erect and let to the board a building designed especially for the needs of the public library of the city. To Mrs. James M. Hume the citizens of Indianapolis will be indebted for this enterprise and liberality in providing a suitable location and home for the library, in the event, of course, that her proposition is accepted. The proposed location is the present site of the ryle house, southeast corner of Meridian and Ohio streets, and there are two plans proposed for* the building. One is to fit up the ground

floor for business purposes and devote the upper story to the library and school officers and board of commissioners. The other is for a building only one story in bight, altogether devoted" to the library and school offices. The first one named will probably be selected—the estimated cost of the latter being too great. This building wil be as nearly fire-proof as possible; surrounded by streets on two sides, and alleys on the other two, it will be isolated from the surrounding property. The architectural appearance of the plan is all that could be desired, and when executed will be a credit to the city. This building the commissioners are offered for a less rental than they are paying for the

present dark and dirty quarters.

An Army of Blackbirds.

Yesterday evening, a little before sunset, an army of blackbirds began flying over the southern part of the city from the east, and kept on in almost a continuous line, sometimes in dense masses, sometimes in scattered and trailing flocks, for fully half an hour.- Occasionally a break would appear, and the observer would think the migration ended but by the time he could wink twice the head of another long column would show itself in the east, so high as to seem to come out of the clouds, and the procession would be renewed with many a squall and cackle, though often in t . _.i xr , t ^ e fl oc kg

Alleged Infanticide. The coroner is investigating the cause of the death of an infant found in a vault in the rqar of 393 North New Jersey street, yesterday afternoon. Ida 'Wilfirm-i, wh se sister is cook at Mabb’s bagnio and had been at the hou se for several weeks, was suspected of being the mother of the child ani was arrested last night by officer Osborn. She confessed that the child was hers but claimed that it was born dead. The fact that it was found with a calico string tied about its neck, however, goes to prove that it was alive and put out of the way. Ida said at first that the child was a white man’s, living at Shelbyville, where she came from, and -where her mother lives in good ’ circumstances. Later she said it was her husband’s, but who or where he is, ia not known. The investigation will not ba concluded before this evening. Horae Driven to Death. Last Sunday Warner & Smiley, liverymen on South Pennsylvania street, hired a horse and buggy to a young man, who said he wiint.-d to drive north of the city a short distance. That is the last they saw of the man or their property till yesterday, when they ftund the horse dead at the second toll gate on the Pendleton pike, northeast of the city. The inhuman driver had giu e to Franklin and back, and was driving north in the afternoon, when the. animal fell in the shafts perfectly exhausted, dying shortly afterwards. The driver abandoned tin- horse and vehicle, and has not been seen, but the police are after him. But the law provides only insufficient punifiluuvnt for suyli brutes when caught.

PL LA MATYK’s NOMINATION. Strong Opposition to Endorsement Among the Democracy—The Doctor's VMS to

New York.

After numerous conversations with all kinds of democrats, this moruing, the opinion is arrived a tthat Rev. Mr. l)e La Matyr will not receive the endorsement of the democracy for congress. The expression at the state offices, the home of pure democracy, is altogether unfavorable to the reverend gentleman. John Enos Neff, secretary of state, makes no secret of bis opposition to any endorsement of Dr. De La Matyr. It is understood that Colonel Shaw and Eb Henderson do not look with favor on any alliance with the nationals, at least not for a plum of such magnitude as representative in congress, and through their deputies declare in favor of a straight

out democratic candidate.

Mr. Peele, deputy secretary of state, said: “I’m a democrat. I neglected to vote for Horace Greeley, and stand now as • I did then. The republican I vote for must be on the republican ticket” Here a bystander with a purple nose bubbled over: “De La Matyr is no good. He’s an anticatholic, a temperance man, a Methodist preacher, and a republican. Democrats can’t endorse all that” Then he passed

out at the -north door.

Gabriel Schmuck, clerk of the supreme court—“No, sir; I’m not for Mr. De La Matyr. I want a square fight. My opinion is the democrats will bring out a can-

didate.”

“Will it be Turpie?” “Well, it may be. We have no lack of

good material.”

John H. Piercy, deputy state auditor— “Oh, we’ll have a candidate, and he will be a democrat Mr. De La Matyr is not a demscrat. Judge Turpie would be a good man. He’s unsocial and cold, but he would be able to warm Jonn Hanna.” James H. Rice—“I will not be interviewed. Go see thp Freedom and Righters and the Catholics. Go see John Enos Neff and the other fellows. I’m not mixing in your d d local politics. I

spread out all over the state.”

A postoffice opinion—“Mr. De La Matyr is a republican in every thing except finances. The democracy will not touch

him.” v, -

Prominent denmrat interviewed, at-

tacking a free -lunch stand—“If we nominate (munch, munch, munch,) De La Matyr we’ll lose more than three times oyer from the anti-temperance and Catholic elements of our party than we can

possibly gain from Methodism.” Richard J. Bright was approached for

his opinion, but he was a very unsatisfactory subject. He said he didn’t know whether the democracy woold endorse Mr. De La Matyr; his questioner could tell as

well.

“Why, ain’t you in politics?” “Yes, this far: I am a candidate for sheriff of Marion county and am attending strictly to that. My politics go no further.” A great many people, republicans especially, want to know why the doctor found it necessary to go to New York to inquire into the expediency of making the congressional race. He wouldn’t feel complimented one bit by the remarks of his church brethren upon the subject.

Murder in Hendricks County this Morning.

THE rOTTEB INVESTIGATION. Gen. Sypher 00 the Witness Stand. Atlantic City, N. J^ July 26.—The Potter committee met this morning, and there was a larger number than usual of auditors, (ieneral Sypher being recalled, said he could bow say he had seen Senator Sherman’s signature in autograph albums. Witness then told of the opposition to Packard in the convention which nominated him for governor, and of the Inkewarmness of many prominent republicans during the can vase,they holding that undue influence had been exerted to secure his

nomination.

In conversation with republican speakers witness learned that at'Feliciana, Monroe and Shreveport stones were thrown at them, in addition to other indignities, Witness said to the best of his recollection he thought when Weber showed him the Sherman 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, hiany republicans were opposed to the bayonet policy, which had lost the republicans several

northern states and injured the republicans of Louisiana. Witness is not a Haves republican. W T e were divided en Wheeler. He, with his compromise, sold us out in 1872. We don’t believe in compromises in that country, giving everything to our foes and getting nothing in return. Potter asked whether the allegations of fraud and intimidation were not made after the election, and witness replied affirmatively. Charges of intimidation were made by the republicans in the parishes where their

vote had fallen off.

Mr. Hiscock asked whether the democrats sought to conciliate the colored people to vote their ticket. - . A—Yes, in various ways. They did as you do in New York—buy vsters. They were very affectionate to them. [Laughter.J The democrats organized the unification movement for the purpose of giving negroes equalities with the whites, in street cars and in public schools, outstripping us and beating ns a little. Ex-Congressman Morey was called and said there was no bulldozing in Madison in 1876, and the result was in that parish an increase of 102 votes over the usual republican majority in 1874. .

London, July 26.—A Berlin correspondent estimates that the result of the elections Tuesday fox the German parliament will be a return ot nearly all the one hundred and forty-four Ultrac montanes, Poles, Guelphs ; Lorrainere and other irreconcilable enemies of the government.

Evidence of GarfleM and Majot Burke. The Potter committee at Atlantic City yesterday concluded its day’s aaasion with the examination of Hon. J. A. Garffdd. Garfield said that he was more indebted to the late D. A. Weber, supervisor of emotions of Wert FeUciaaa, for information relative to that parish than any one else. V> eber said that the whole trouble there was founded on sumpwtiona of the democratic state committee, who advised the formation of nfle clubs for the purpose of intimidating republican*, and to *how that there was physical M well m moral force in the movement. Webef said that he could not then return to West Feliciana without running the risk of being killed, although it might be sate for him to return after the excitement was. over. General Garfield was interrogated at length as to the testimony of E. L. Weber, denying the general statements of this witness m regard to the •rents in Louisiana in connection with the visiting republican*. Many of hi* statements were utterly inconsistent with the truth. ^ General Garfield did not know of any visitor* having a conference with' the returning board, or addressing to them arguments as to what-rules should be adopted in the counting of votes. There was not a word of truth in the statement that thfi visiting republicans advised the returning board to stretch their power* to the utmost extent, with a view to throwing out democratic vote*. “So far m this relate* to me,” General Garfield said, “it is a lie, and it is a lie so far as it relates to anybody else. It Was the purpose of the visitors on both side* not to meddle with the questions before the board, their object only being to discover the results.” A long sparring match with Butler ensued, but brought out no facte. « ‘ The sub-committee at New Orleans ex-

amined Major E. A. Burke.

Major Burke testified at great length regarding the action of himself and the Louisiana delegation and other* at Washington during January and February,I8<7, including the famous Wormier conference. The witness telegraphed toNicholls, stating that the ultimate solution of the Louisiana question to the benefit of his (Nicholls’s) government rested more with the powerful leaders of the republican parly than with Hayes. The witne** knew Hayes’s policy towards the south would be conciliatory, but told Elli* Matthews and Foster that he did not believe there was any man living strong enough to carry out such a'policy in the face of a united hostile party; that the friends of Nicholls did not need any further guarantees or assurances from Mr. Haves personally, but he did want aud must nave the guarantee of the strong radical leaders of the

party; that it was the Shermans, the Garfields, the Mortons, and men of that class whose assurances they must have. they would aUow Hajea ** <> ut peaceful and donatory policy toward the sontLcrn people. These views the witness had set forth fully in conferences with Matthews and otheraon the 16th, 17th and 18th of February, and he had announced to them that it was their determination

determined effort to defeat the electoral, count. They had had radical ruler* long enough. The witness then gave an account of an interview with Matthews, Dennison and Sherman. The witness said to Sherman that the way to remove the cause of th& trouble in Louisiana was for the friends of Hayefl to go to President Grant and say to him that the removal of troop* from Louisiana would not embarrass Mr. Hayes’s socces*, but rather assist his inauguration. Mr.Sherman replied: “Major Burke, there is no use talking about Grant. He is surrounded by such influences that we can’t hope to accomplish anything through him.” The witness rth plied that he had just left Grant, and read a dispatch in which Grant said he wa* satisfied that the Nicholls government wa* the government that should stand, and that this opinion and. sentiment were dearly against the use of troops, and that there would be no interference with the Nicholls government; that he had not acted because he simply did not want to embarrass his successor. The witness further stated to these gentlemen that if they were sincere they should go to President Grant and say to him that it would not embarrass his hucceasor, and that the withdrawal of the troops from Louisiana would cause a cessation Of opposition to a determination of the count in the house. They agreed to go to Grant on the following morning and make these representations. Gov. Dennison,Matthew* and Sherman then said that while they were not authorized to speak for Have*, yet they believed the sentiments in Grant’s dis- . patch, mentioned above, expressed the views of Gov. Hayes. The conference st Wormley’s hotel wa* held at the suggestion of the witness. There were present at this conference Merer* Matthews, Garfield, Foster, Sherman, George Carter, Levy, Ellis and tlie witness, and as there was no person actively representing South Carolina, they invited Mr. Watterson, of Kentucky, to be present in the interest of the latter state. The condition of affairs in Louisiana wa* thoroughly discussed. The Louisiana representatives read abatement of the policy of the Nicholls government. Upon the other hand the most positive assurance* were given by Matthews, Sherman, Garfield and Foster, neither one of whom, however, stated that they were aulhorized by Hayes to speak, but spoke from their knowledge of his view* from their past associations, and from the fact that they were conversant with his intentions concerning the south. They assumed to guarantee that the policy indi- , cated in the dispatch authorized by Grant would be carried out by Mr. Hayes. Hon. E. John Ellis testified regarding the Wormley conference and stated emphatically that there was no bargain, that the ceasing to filibuster was not insisted upon by the republican* who were at the conference.
