No news this morning from other points. The situation . here ia unchanged. A local tele graphers' relief committee was organized here last Sunday, the object being the relief of telegraph employee suffering from yellow fever' in this .city. At .the suggestion of General Superintendent VanHome, the committee to-day determined to extend the field of operations to all infected points south ot Canton, Miss. This includes Vlcksburg and Port Gibson. So far . 14 telegraphers here hare taken the fever. Of these one died,, three recovered, and the others are In . hopeful condition. The officers are Charles R. Chase, chairman; A. D. Babbitt, secretary; James T. Alleyn, treasurer. Paul Lelop, operator, and Frank Del plain, battery man, were taken with the fever yesterday. Two more 'students were taken with the fever at Charity hospital this morning. Now two bouse surgeons, seven of the 12 resident students and one sister of charity are sick, the latter not being , expected to recover. Dr. .Pratt, house suisreon, and . one. student, are convalescent. The hospital patients are well attended by volunteer physicians, who responded to the appeals of the administrators. Dr. Choppin a patient , is. reported dead. - i. .. At a meeting of the board of health this evening" Dr. Choppln stated that physicians ought to study bv experiment extraordinary treatment of yellow fever, as the usual treatment has failed to give any satisfactory results. He referred them to his treatment of a patient in the charity hospital wbom he had selected as the worst case out of 15. The patient had entirely been relieved of headache, his temperature had been reduced and kept at 99 degrees, but he ."will very likely die of restriction of hlsTridneya which do not act. - II ad the patient been treated as soon as the second stadium of the fever set in he would hare been saved.- The doctor Fvealao a lengthy history of the fever in the present epidemic, and it is belief that it can be traced to the purser and second engineer of the steamship Emily L-iiden, who died here of yellow fever,' one cnMay 23 the other on May 29." . . . The weather wes showery snd warm in the morning. A heavy rain and - thunder storm lasted from 3 to 4 p. m. - The streets were flooded throughout the city, and in some ?uarters impsssab'e for more than an honr. he Howard association to-day responded to one hundred and eighteen new applications for relief, and the Youri? Men's Christian association to 43 new cases. The funds of the last named association are nearly exhausted. The Telegraphers' Relief association report Benjamin F. Chisholm, operator, Port Gibson, and W. W, 'Wall, operator, Bayou des Allemandes. down with the fever. The society Union Francaise has formed a relief committee, and appeal to the French benevolent societies throughout the United States for contributions to aid them in taking care of their sick who have the yellow fever. ' " ' ' Mrs. Wall and two children are convales cent. Among the new cases reported in the city to-day are Captain Samuel Henderson and William Morrison, well known citizens. Sister Loretta, who, since the Incipiency of the epidemic, has been constantly nursing those 'down with the fever at the charity ; hospital, , died last night, after a few days' illness. Robert M. Potts, with Richardson fc May, died to-day. From noon to 6 p. m., 2(1 deaths had been reported at the office of the board of health. AT MTMPHIS. Memphis, Aug. 29. New cases to-day, !9; deaths, 70. At 2 p. m. to-day a drenching rain commenced falling, and continue! np to 7 o'clock. The death roll to-day exceeds that of any day during the scourge of 1873, but it is feared, owing to the wet, damp weather to-night, will in turn be exceeded by to-morrow's mortuary report. At Camp Jo Williams several deaths from fever occurred to-day. The sickness is expected to nread there more than in the citv hv reason of the rain, and, what is worse there, the facilities for caring for the sick are very poor, the only building in the neighborhood being an old barn which has been hastily fitted up for a hospital. Among the new cases to-day is the mother superior at Lasalette. The dead roll includes the names ot Fathers Martin, Walsh and McGarvey, whilst Fathers Bokel and Maher are in a dying condition. The corps of physicians employed by the Howards are do iDg efficient work, but have more than they can attend to. Information has been received that Dr. E. T. Eaaley, of Little Rocky with a corps of nurses started for this city to-night Scores of tenders of professional services have been received from phvsicians in different parts of the country. Numbers of deaths from fever are reported from country places adjacent to Memphis, the latest being that of 8. G. Ryan, a merchant of this city. At the board of health meeting this morning Dr. Lawrence reported a fearful condition of affairs existing among the colored people. In some localities they are crowded together in narrow, filthy quarters and are an easy prey to disease ana death. Hundreds of them have been sick for days without medical a'tention. Drs. Charles Baskerville, of Hornlake, Mississippi; J. E. Renner. Indianapolis; T. M. Smith. Evansville; F. G. Watkius, St. Louis; 1L II. Hargrave, Shreveport, and iC It. Williams, Woodburn, Kentucky, arrived in the city to-day, and will be assigned to duty in the Howard association medical corps. The following is sent in answer to many offers of serrices: Howard Association Roosts. In answer to many kind offers from phyBl- . rituis and nurses to be "nt to ns, we denlre to nay that the services of all such persons who are acclimated or have had yellow fever experience would be gladly received, but the aasoelatlon deems It unwltte to encourage any to come from northern latitude, an such persons are extremely liable to contract the disease. (Signed) . A. I). LASOWArr, Vice President. ST. LOCK. St. Loos, Aug. 29. The merchants' exchange fever fund now amounts to nearly $10,000. The St. Louis evangelical alliance make an appeal to all Christian denomina tions torougnoui Missouri to aid by Uoeral donations the fever stricken people of the south. The grand secretary of the masons and the deputy grand master of odd fellows make a similar appeal, which will be published to-morrow morning. Dr. G. Dowell, of Galveston, pased through here to-night en route to Memphis, whither he goes to give his professional aid to fev ir patients. Post No. 6, grand army of the republic. East 8L Louis, raised $115 today for ft.-ver nafferersnd expect to increase it to $000. Contributions are coming in to the merchants' exchange fund from all sources, and numerous sums are being forwarded to different places by various societies and individuals of the city. The interest in the matter increased, and the sympathy of all classes for the plague stricken people of southern cities is very earnest and sincere. Appeals for food and clothing are coming from different quarters, which will be promptly responded to. AT VICKSBCRU. VicKfiBrao, Aug. 29. One hundred &nd,C twenty-nine new cases during the past 2S hoars, and feventeen deaths. Among (he deaths at a late honr this evening is J. P. Allen, city editor of the Vicksburg Herald. Doctor E. A.

Some republican papers claim that the republicans are sanguine of carrying tbe legislature of Indiana this fall, and thus securing the gain of a United states senator. The democrats in the state have little fear of this, and express great confidence hi their ability to carry tbe state by a majority so large as to bring with it a democratic legislature. They do not close their eyes to the fact that republican gerrymandering has made the election of a democratic legislature a task of no inconsiderable magnitude. It was calculated at the time of the last legislative apportionment that the districts were so arranged that with a democratic majority of less than twenty thousand in the state the legislature would be safely republican.. They also remember that although they carried the state handsomely in October, 187ft, the congressional districts were so gerrymandered that they elected less than one-third of the representatives in congress. Bat they propose to give a little extra push this year and overcome these obstacles. The Outrage Denver Democrat. Tbe outrage mill has begun to work.

A SESTIXFX COMHISSIOHER AT FR AM KLIN.

An Interview .With J a da Wollen, the Demoeratle Candidate for Attorney aerl t bat lie Baa to Sax About tbe Jooraal' Article AltMklBK tbe "Woollen Family, Etc Fraskujt. Aug. 27. Having a little leisure at my command to-day. while in this little city of Franklin, it struck me that I would improve the time by writing a letter for the Sentinel. . , . ' ,. There are many, localities , foL' our state which will bear writing about, and Iranklin is not the least one of them. . Her citizens, I find, are of the opinion 'that if their city is not very large it is at .least very beautiful, and, really, a stranger can not well help sharing in the same opinion. Were it not for the wretched,, ragged, unkempt appearance ot the publio square and a part ot Its surroundings I even cotjld praise Franklin for its beauty. Bat that public square! Oh;' Lord, how long can,-any people he brought to bear so monstrous a thing? Let us wait and see. Bat, laying all jokes aside, while the public authorities have neglected the "square" the people have been'quite busy in planting shade trees, and now, with the clean streets, the grass and shade, Franklin is a place of more than average beauty." ' i 1 After transacting the special business of my visit I hunted up this law office pf Judge Woollen, 'the-democratic candidate for attorney general, and spent an hour or so in the judge's company. Like many another, I had read the Franklin article published in the Journal on the 23dinst.t,and,doy'oukDOW, there is nothing I like so well . as to call on the boys jnst after they have been .punched up? Weil, I found the judge sitting in his back office surrounded by his books, looking for all the world like he did not care whether school kept or not. He was smoking his after dinner cigar, and the manner in which he raised his eves to the ceiling ' warranted me in planting myself down for a good long talk. Besides he is a candidate, and if a 'candidate, and especially a democratic candidate, has any rights which any' sovereign voters ought to respect I am sure that I do not know wbat they are. "Thank you," said I to the ; 5udge as he pulled his last cigar out of his watch fob and banded it tome; and it was not long after that until I began to feel my way to the pith of the Journal article. " . . "I see," eaid I, "that the republicans seem disposed to wage a sort of personal liht this year" . J. W. Yes; such seems to be their tactics. t Have you seen the article' in the Journal of the i of this month? .. J. W. O, yes; my friends met me with it on the street the same morning, and half a dozen insisted on reading it to me. - Well, what do you think of 4t, anyhow? J. W. Think? (and here the judge puffed out a great cloud of smoke and looked long and steadily at the ceiling.) Think? Well, to tell you the truth, I'm afraid I do not exactly see tbe point to the charge. If I understand it it is this: That as county attorney I permitted frauds on the treasury of Johnson county without any effort on my part to prevent them. How was that? J. W. Why, that the county auditors, in their official capacity, did several things not warranted by law, such as issuing orders on the treasury illegally and whacking (I believe it is sometimes called) with the contractors for public work, and other things of like character. -I was county attorney, and the Journal now says it is fair to presume I knew all about these rascalities, and that I took no steps to prevent them. , When was your name first mentioned in connection with county troubles? - J. W. Never until since I became a candidate. I have for a great many years been county attorney, sometimes alone and sometimes with associates. Dun ig tbe greater part of the time mentioned In the Journal's article I think it is probable I have been the legal adviser of the county board. Whether I was or not, I have for the twenty-two years that I have lived here in Franklin been very intimately acquainted with county affairs. When I came , to the county in 1950 there was no system of book keeping in either the treasurer or auditor's offices, and it was by my advice and by my assistance that the accounts were opened on a basis that showed in a business form the transactions of the county, so far as her finances were concerned.' I have known all the auditors and treasurers who have filled these offices in this county for the last 20 years, including John Herriott, the' father of the present candidate for state treasurer on the republican ticket, and Mr. Elijah Banta, both of whom were republicans, and . I do not hesitate to say that all these officers during that time were honorable men, incapable of fraud or official dishonesty in the management of their respective offices. There never was but one specific charge made against any one of them, as 1 now remember, and that was. against Mr. Barnett in 1874. when he was a candidate for clerk. Then it was said that be had raised a county order from $100 to $150, and, as Mr. Barnett's attorney,' I brought salt for libel aguinst the editor of the republican paper in this county, in which paper the charge was published; and prosecuted tbe case until the editor signed a retraction, in which he stated that the charge was untrue, I notice that tbe Journal . article makes a thrust at the Woollen family. Why is that? 1 J. W. Because I am a candidate, I suppose. 1 I am willing to submit the record of tbe Woollen family in Johnson county to the judgment of a fair and impartial public, and stand or fall by the Verdict. ' As for myself, I do not believe there is a fair minded, henest man in the county, of any politics, who believes that I was ever guilty, either by an act of omission or of commission, of any fraudulent act or practices in any official connection with Johnson county. Being a candidate, and asking the Totes of the people, they have a right to know all about me; and all I ask of those who undertake to give information is, that they deal fairly by me. So far, no man has ever thought of charging me with participating in or being benefited by any fraudulent act of omission or commission of any county officer. That Is not the charge: but it is, that I did not interfere as county a'torney and prohibit the. county officials from stealing. Why, the editor of the republican paper of this county is now charging that the sheriff is not doing his duty in tbe matter of advertising sales on execution, and Is endeavoring to prejudice the public agaiast me on account of it. He says that as county attorney I ought to interfere and make the sheriff do his duty. Now, just look at it. Suppose this sheriff and that the county officers, in times past, did not do their duty; now could my employment as county attorney make me responsible for the conduct of officers created by the constitution of the state, and having specific duties to perform under the law? I do not know the standard of competency set up by the Journal for an attorney general, but it would scarcely be considered a proof of my fitness for the office if I had assumed, as county attorney, to run all the offices in the county, and make myself responsible for whatever might have been done. If the Journal would look nearer home it would find that the board of commissioners and county attorney combined are not able to run one of the office j of Marion county in opposition to the wishes of the constitutional incumbent. What duties were you retained to perform as county attorney? J. V. I was the legal ad visar of the board of commissioners. 7neneYer they requested

advice it was . my duty to give It-: It was also. my duty to attend to all suits in court wherein the county was concerned, and to prepare such instruments of writing as the board might from timj to time require. I wrote all their contracts concerning county affairs when requested, and when requested prepared entries for their records. This was the extent of my employment, but I always, on request, gave legal advice to county and township officers. - I see in the Journal's article that it states that there was an item of "incidentals, $!)00." in a bill of McCormack & Sweeny, which is in your handwriting. How is that? J. W. I know nothing about it. It is not true. I have no recollection of ever being present when a contract with McCormack A: Sweeney was made, or when 'any claim by them was presented or allowed. Well, what about tbe statement that there was a balance of county funds loaned : out that went into the hands of the Woollen familyat six per cent? J. W. There is not a word of truth In that, either. No such funds ever went into .the hands of the Woollen family at six or any other per cent This is about as truthful as tbe statement that the jail was bruit nnder the auditorship of 1-1 Jf. Wheeler, when the truth is the jail was built and paid for before he ever became auditor. The whole statement of the Journal is a tissue of falsehoods, made np either without an examination or on the information of knaves or fools, who wanted to injure their neighbor and had not the courage or honesty to shoot off. their own gun. ' ' What do you know about the report of the

examiners being suppressed, as stated In theJ Journal; i .,,.,-,, J. W. That report was copied on the commissioners' record at length. It was made a public record by order of the board of commissioners, and Dr. Bice, the auditor, has it and the report itself in his custody, and I know of no reason, and can not' imagine one, . that would . lead him to disregard the plain requirement of the law by suppressing or in any manner keeping concealed tbe original document or the record of it I never heard a like charge preferred against the doctor before, and I presume this one is wholly false. . .1 It was now growing late, and having got out of the judge all 1 wished, I went over to the court house, a dingy little old frame building located to the south of the public square, but the auditor had closed his office, and .1 was unable to see him. But I learned from others something about the difficulty under which the Journal's man labored in getting a peep at the precious document now on file in the auditor's office known as the report of the examiners. . It seems that on Thursday, the 22d inst, a gentleman called at a democratic law office of this town and inquired for O. M.Overstreet, Jr., who is the cbairman of the republican central committee of this county.and a cousin of George Herriott the republican candidate for treasurer of state. Mr. Overstreet'a office being pointed out, the stranger went there at once. Of all that was said and done no more than this is known: Mr. Henry W. Barnett, who is running for , the legislature oh both the republican and national tickets,, was called in and in a very short lime he and the ' stran per went over to the court house. There Mr. Bsrnett asked the auditor for the report made by the exammg committee, and it was handed to him. and by him taken away. About the time for closing the public offices Mr. Barnett returned with the democrat to the auditor and asked for the Erivilege of keeping it out over night Both is manner and his singular request excited the suspicion of Dr. Bice, and he inquired of Mr. Barnett who it was that wished the use of the report Barnett refused to answer, and then Bice refused the loan of the report. The Journal charges that its writer could not get access to tbe document without calling in the aid of some prominent citizens of the town ; but tbe auditor says that no man representing himself from the Journal; or from any other paper ever asked him tn see the document; that it is on file in his office and has always been (save when Hen. Barnett had it out), and open to the inspection of all persons duaing office hours. As the doctor is an Independent in politics, and was elected as such, it can scarcely be said that be is in the Interest of the democratic party. But he is a man of truth, and that is the tale he tells. . Walking along the street to day I noticed that the Hon. Milton Robison Is billed for a speeoh hereon next Thursday evening. Now there is nothing in this worthy of record, perhaps, for there are too many fellows orating over the land for all to have a notice. But the matter of the Hon. Milton's bill deserves a little notice: 'HEMIIL SHOW MR. MTERS U 15 niS TRUE ' LioirrV' .; . These are the identical words. What do you think of i that for "taste," "decency," "good manners" and all that? The Hon. gentleman has not written that bill, of course. It is not to be presumed that he knows anything of its contents, and from what your correspondent knows of him, he does not believe that Milton will sail in to any great extent just in that way. Your correspondent is loth to believe that Milton has not some of the instincts of a gentleman, and would be sorry indeed were he to learn that he has turned himself into the blackguard tliat these Franklin fellows seem to require. , Plito. STATE INTELLIGENCE.' Loogootee: James Atwood was arrested here yesterday while trying to sell a horse. He afterward acknowledged having stolen him from Sylvester Hanna, 15 miles north of Bedford. ' , - . .. " . The post office at West Liberty was entered by burglars Wednesday night and robbed of $500 from a Hall combination safe, tbe combination being left open. Special Agent Cameron, from St Louis, is investigating tbe case. New Harmony:" Professor Richard Owen, of the state university, and his wife left here for Bloomlngton on Monday morning. They are in excellent health and spirits. After this year Professor Owen will probably resign his professorship- at Bloomington and again become a resident of New Harmony. Ft Wayne Gazette: Jim Haines, conductor on the Plymouth accommodation, is going to die. So says the immortal "J. N.," because Jim wouldn't pass him over the road. J. N. went down in his sock and brought up 30 cents, but Jim wanted 60 cents, which he received after having J. curses heaped upon his head. ' Liberty, Ind.: Several deaths have recently occurred here from flux, and quite a number of persons have been afflicted with the disease. One of the simplest remedies is new milk heated (not boiled) and drank, hot two or three pints a day. If treated in. its early stage it can be easily cured, but when allowed to run on for several days it has proved generally fatal. f Winchester: John Alvey,' living south of this place, was kicked in the mouth by a vl cions horse Wednesday. " His jaw is broken and face mutilated iu ' a horrible manner. His recovery is doubtful. George Horn, the boy who was kicked in the head last Saturday by a horse, living in the Eouth part of this county, is reported dead to-day. His head wfes literally mashed and his brain partly knocked out Greenfield, Ind.: The teachers' institute, which convened here on Monday last has enrolled 125, 90 of whom are teachers. Much interest has been manifested in the subjects presented far discussion other than the regular work of the institute. We were entertained to-day by a talk from l"rjfessor Dennis, of Richmond, on the opening exercises of the school, which was the right thing said in the right place.

HARRISON AND OhTJI.

A Tame Reception to the Former by the Friend 8 of the Latter. rib Beenta Victory frem Afar, bat lie Will KcTer Get a Good M hlfl. Regular Correspondence of the SentlneLl Lafayittk, Ind., Aug. 2G. Well, we have had your little-gret-man Harrison here to enlighten us in routers political, and I hazard nothing' in saying that those who listened to him were very generally disappointed in tbe man., Instead of a man of enlarged and comprehensive views, showing a decent respect for the opinions of others, as real gentlemen never fail to do, we were enter tatned with a surfeit of republican flapdoodle well calculated to disgust the fair minded of all parties. He commenced by . eulogizing the "grand old republican party," as he called it, averring that it had never done anything wrong from its 1 inception .to the present day, and it was bound to work out a' still "grander" deutiny than it yet had done. . The "grand old party" has of late come to bequ'tea favorite" expression with your popinjay republican orators, who are fond of emitting high sounding words without regard to their truth or appropriateness. If there is any thing so very "grand" about that party I fail to see it; and I know it is not very "old," for I recollect very well when it was hatched from the egg of know nothing! sm a little over a coupleof decades since. Certainly that is not so very "old," is it? From "the grand old party" the general went at the Potter investigating committee, which he vehemently denounced as ."revolutionary." It .was the .original intention, he sail, .to unseat. .Hayes by means of this committee, and the plot by no no means yet abandoned,not withstanding the resolution of the house disclaiming any such purpose. ; He next tackled the finances, which he handled with that profundity which comes to republican greatness such as his. It is scarcely worth while to , follow the little-great-man through all1 his labyrinthine twaddle for the purpose of proving that John Sherman and the great money power were the only reliable forces to work out a better destiny for a long suffering people. Suffice it to say that there was nothing whatever that bore the least resemblence to originality ot thougtt except, perhaps, his suggestion that Plan Buchanan and his followers of the national- organisation .were all idiots, and ought to be colonized upon some one of the Guano islands, there to work out in practice their theory of fiat money, by themselves. Tt is brilliant sally of fac'.tiousnes was received with very audible smiles by numerous of the grand old republicans present among whom was Mr. Orth. In fact they were quite uproarious with delight at the originality and quaintness of the suggestion. . - ' ' " " ' ;-! ' . At tbe close of ' General Harrison's speech Mr. Ortb was called for and came Toward and made a few 'remarks complimentary of Harrison's speech, and said that be had started on the road to Washington and he expected to get there, never .yet having failed to do so , when he once got started. . Mr. Orth is always very" confident in predicting success whenever he is up for office. Everybody recollects when he ran as the republican candidate for circuit judge here several years ago. In his speech accepting the nomination he said he "felt it in his bones" that he would be elected. But his "bones" deceived him: he was badly beaten by Andy Ingram. And two years ago he "started on the road" to the gubernatlonal chair, at Indianapolis, but he didn't get tkere "very muchly," according to the best of my recollection. He Las now commenced making sorties into the rural districts, where he agitates that nasty old bloody shirt with fearful vigor. - But I have not heard of his offering ' any Hort of explanation of those Venezuelan complications, which, unexplained at that time, were powerful enough to hoist him oif from the ticket for governor two years ago. Why don't he get that "padlock" off his mouth, as he threatened to do, and speak out about these veratious charges that have been and are btill so very damaging to him? Observer. PUBLIC LANDS, En(rlM from 1S63 to XH1S. (Washington Special to New York Trlbune.J A table has 'just been prepared at the general land office showing the number of entries made upon the public lands in each state and territory nnder the homestead and timber culture acts from May 20, 18G2, to June 30, 1S78. The aggregate number of entries in each year were as follows: Yr. Entries Yr. Entries Yr.Entries Yr. Entries 1J3...J3;55 1864 7,9-2 1 lS67...-IJ,3d!l ix..3.&42 im 30,054 1871 -.42,694 1K72...3K,:)H lK73...34,b70 IX7t. aljKNtt 1NT7 23,(W6 1S78...24,013 1S3...12,W 1806 1573,' 1B7C 34,413 Total 384,84ti .The figures for 1878 include only half the year, from January 1 to June 30, inclusive. By states the entries were as follows: State. - Entries. Alabama !M.2.i2 Arkansas........ ..33,bi0 Arizona............. 147 Florida Illinois. 63 Idahe 1,161 State. -Colorado . Entries.

Wisconsin 21,437 Wyoming..., California........... 164 Total. ,.,,.34,848 .17,146 In ' 1803- entries were made in only 14 of the states and territories, as follows; California, Colorado, Dakota, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, Wisconsin and Washington. No entries were made in any of the southern stab until 1866, and in Louisiana not until 18!7. The entries for the first half of this year nearly equal those of any whole year since the panic, with a fair prospect of exceeding any of the years that have preceded it. The change in the tide of emigration at different periods is quite noticeable. In 1875 Colored) received 825 entries, and in the first half of 1878 there were 4,123 entries. Kansas shows in the same period a gain from 2,356 in 1875 to 5,320 in 1878. Minnesota has gained from 2,034 to 3,502 entries, and , Washington from ' 309 to 582 entries. California, under tbe influence of the general prostration in the east, ran ud from - 1,521 entries in 1873 to 3,400 in 1875, but fell off to 1,746 entries in 1877 and 023 during the first half ot the present year. Michigan, Wisconsin and Alabama sh)w a great decline, which is doubtless due to the fact that most of the desirable lands in those states have been taken. In the above statement no account is taken of pre-emptisn entries or cash sales, but these, it is believed, will be offset by tbe claims abandoned under the homestead act. Tbe settlements on the lands granted to railroads are not taken into account in the above tables for lack of sufficient data. In the state of Texas the tide of immigration has poured iu freely, but as all the lands belong to the state the general government has no record of the emigration thither. Each entry in the above table probably indicates the addition of at least five persons to the population of the locality. This movement of non producers from the east to the new I tales and territories, where they become producers, is regarded as an essential element in the restoration of general prosperity ia the country. .. .., t
