Jacrsox, Miss., Oct. 26.—The weather to-day isdry and bot. No frost in four nights. Num- ber of deaths to-Gay, 2. Nusber of new cases to-day, 15. Total number of cases under treat- ment, 814. Deaths to date, 53. Total number of cases treated, 373. When the fever appeared in this State, the residents of Jackson made up a local relief fund of a few thousand dollars, which is the main dependence now of the Howard Association liere. Jackson being among the last points at- tackea, and the flow of contributions having ceased, the officers of the Assoclation express great anxiety to get tbrough without outside Dielp. Jackeon has made no call for aid; butis. certainly needv. I learn there are twelve or fif teen localities in this State where. the fever still prevails. There is much destitution, having received but comparatively little of the general relief funds sent Soanth to larzer cities. Jackson being the Capital of the State and intersected by railroads would be the best distributing voint for the interior towns of .the State, and the oflicers of the Howard As- sociation bere would cheerfuily undertake tbat work, or the Governor of the State mizht @esignate a special committee for that parpose. ‘The generous people of Chicagoun dtbe country generally have noidea of the extent of the destitution and suffering which now prevails, and will continue during the next three months. The greater portion of the relief to the interior towns has been expended by the Masons and Odd-Fellows of the country through Grand Secretary J. L. Power, who Las distribut-~ «cd these funds upon his own acquaintance with the localities, without regard to race, color, or creed. About $£40.000 har been thus distributed. e has recently given public notice that thedis- tribution wmust be confined henceforth as far as possible to the relief ot the widows and orphans of Masons and Odd-Fellows in the infected towps. Many of these he has already assisted, and durieg pext. monoth will visit the several places with a view 10 a more judicious distribution of the funds intrugted to bim. The Howard Association and 1he citizens who have remained here hold them- selves in readiness to assist all afllicted ) oints in the State by forwarding supolies and facili- tating transportation. The Association com- plain bitterly of the conduct of Dr. Riley, who accompanied-the relief-boat Chambers, and who claimed to represent the Chicago Relief Com- mittee, in_ proflering much-needed supolies which he failed to Turnish, although requisitions for the same were made at his request.” The suoplics needed would have been fur- nished from some other sources but for his officiousness, The Chicago, St. Louis & New Orleans Railroad have arreed to extend the round-trip tickets of refugees from this sec- tion until the $0th day of November, and mavy «fthe conpnecting lines have already signified 1beir consent to this arranzement. A beavy, Lilliog frost is not looked for until ‘about the 12th of November. J. C. TuCKER, Special Correspondent. To the Western Assuctated Press.

INpraNaroLss, Ind., Oct. 26.—Tu an interview to-night James . Anderson states that the dis- patches from Washington to the effect that he had made overtures to Judge Shellabarger, at- torney for Sherman, are utterly untrue. IHe bas made no overtures whatever other than to say that if be conla have the opportunity he would go upon the stand aod testily to his present conviction touching the authenticity of the atleged Sherman letter. He repeats that he behieved the letter to be genuine until Weber failed to produce the original before the Potter Committee, and told liscock and Wells the story of its disappearancey There- fore hie has nothing to recant or rake back of his former testimony. Ile then told what he betieved to be true, and now tells the same thing ON THE BASIS OF NEW EVIDENCE. Shellabarger has no “authority for what he is reported to have said about overtures. The statement he sent to' Washineton about a week ago was prepared at the instance of a friend, and it does not contain the name of A. M. Gib- son, the Sun correspondent. Ileknows nothing against Gibson, and bas made no statement af- fecting him. Anderson’s wife said her husband had kept a copyof the statement, but when asked himself he denied baving it. As to the letter written to Maddox, which s published as a polite attempt to blackmail the Democrats iuto doing something for him, An- derson says he was aporoached some time azo oy Maddor, who represented Gibson, the cou- fidential avent of the Tilden Democrats in Washington, and by Maddox. OFFERED TEN DOLLARS A DAY 5 to go South .and ‘bunt up testimony for the Potter Committee this winter. That was the ostensible purpose, but it reality he was to be sent South aud keep still about his presert idea of the Suerman letter for that amount of money. Maddox having failed to write to him siuce he left Woshinston, he.(Anderson) had written the letter recalling the proposition, and urging that something be done, s be needed help. S ¥ .Anderson represents himself to_be a much- abused man; and is going South soon, but for what purpose he declines to state. He renews his anuouncement that he s ready to testify be- tore either 'the Poiter or Allison” Cominittee f ne shall be summoned.

To the Western Assoclaled Press. WasmINGTON, D. C., Oct. 26.—Sccretary Sher- man says of James Aunderson’s retraction that he had always been satistied that the truth of history would; in the end, fully vindi- cate him from all churzes and aspersions in the matter of the so-called Sherman letter, und he would prefer o assist, rather than to delay or (rfl./slmct, 4 thorough examination into allthe acts. WHAT RELLOGG SAYS. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. Des Moings, la., Oct. 26—Ex-Gov. W. P. Kelloge is in the city, and, in response to the Associsted Press dispatch from ludianapolis last murht, says Anderson has been probably talking o his cups. ‘Tlicre fs nothing in his pretended statement, absolutely nothing, Ile knows nothing of the allezed Sherman Jetter, ucver saw it, and don’t believe his sceretary ever saw it. The best evidence that a Philadei- phiu gentleman has is the production of it. He says he has no intcrest in any Louisiana ap- puintments. On the contrary, they are all made and confirmed, except ~ perhaps a -few minor Post-Olfices, in which he has no interest. ~ As . to the dispatches, e savs he is willing every dispatch he has written or sent, regarding the Louisiana elee- tion affairs, should be published to the world. What Anderson says of Sypler may be true, and is probably a discl re of their private af- fairs, us they have re Iy had a fatlinz-out. ‘There is nothing in it, uud’ it is the talkof a mau 1n his cups.

The Committee in- formed Bristol and Sharpe thut thev had deter- mined to allow no one to speak there in opposi- tion to their party, and any attempt to o so would end in bloodsted. Bristol says he saw numerous shot-guns in the crowd on the street, aud citizens informed him there were seventy- five or 100 armed_mien present, ready to earry out the threata of the Committee.
