Theau- thorities have detailed police aud ranitary officers 1o examine vacant lots and wisit buildings in search ol nuisances, while thousands of bushels of preparations of lime aud other disitifectants have been scattered sbout. A larme gang of men is busy at night removing dead fish from the harbor that bave been killed by theimpurity of the water. ‘The deathrate in Baltimore shows a more healchy condition at present than for several previous years at this time. 1N NORFOLK the authorities last mght decided upon a com- plete quarantine against all passengers und bag- jzage coming from Memohis or any infected districts.

NasaviLLe, Tenn.; Aug. 17.—The Board of Health bas made application to the City Coun- cil to enact a law authorizing the establishment of an eflicient quarantine. \While they are im- pressed that the actual outlook does not war- rant any rudical measures in that direc- tion, yet the strcam of travelers which hus set in from the infected districts makes it necessary to adopt and put in immediate operation measures to prevent the importation of the disease into Nashville. A meeting of tne City Council has peen called for Mouday morning to pass such an ordinance. At a meeting of the Edgtield Board of Health to-night _they recommended the calling of the Council Monday nizht to authorize active sani- tary work. LITTLE ‘ROCK.

New Yonk, Aug. 17.—The Tribune created s political seusation this morning by publishiut certain telegrams -sent by Maotan Marble in November aud December, 18i6. These dis- putches, partly fu cipher, huve ben lnid before the Potter Committee. In the Tribune's opiniou they lead to - the conclusion that, though Marble was in Florida, he took an active interest iu the formation of the Cronin Elec- torat College, ana was in frequent commuica- tion on the subject with Gramerey Park. The article puts Marble forth as the famous *Gob- ble.” Tke disvatches are curions The first is to Col. Pelton, und shows that Mar- ble preferred to be left alone iu the manage- ment of Florida affairs. It told Pelton to try and bave certain documents which the Associ- ated Press would receive sent over the country by the Western, New . Eogland, and other sgents. The second ouc says o Pelton: *‘Please yourself about the econ- omies suzgested. Cogle exceedingly use- ful hitherto. Mention names of Florida friends when you wish to learn how much weight their several requests deserve.” It is asked what were the economies, and in what was Coyle useful. Then follow the dis- patches respectiug the Orezon business, with some of the Tribune’s comments: The Hon. Lujavette F.

New Yorg, Aug. 17.—Senator Ferry, of Michizan, who Is on a brief visit to this city, suid, in reply to a question concerniog the po- litical prospects in his State, that the indica- tions were flattering for a decisive Republican victory at the approaching election. «Jiow about the National and tbe Labor party? Do you thiuk they will poll as large a vote as they claim they will 7 «wThey are working very hard, but I do. not think they are nearly us stronie as fs iven out. Tiie nominations by the Nationals for Congress in the different districts are already, causing much discontent among the disappointed ones, and this element of discord will tend to ereatly weaken their cflorts. Many of the ‘nominces are really strong men, but they will be defeated. The Republicans are thor- oushly orzanized, have placed su- perior men in the ield, and will work as one man. Kearneyism does not find much favor among the sober-minded laborers of Michizan. They arc not easily led astray by such arcuments as he uses. No, I repeat, everything Jooks bright in our State, aud throughout the West.” - Special Diwatch to The Tribune.
