The suttering in the interior has been very great, owing to the want of physicians and | roper nurses. These wants Memphis and ew Orleans and other cities have sought to supply within the past few days, and much re- Nef has been afforded. Atall save a few lo- calities the record of deaths and new cases continue large. The board of health of Mem phis officially reports 22 deaths from yellow Jever in the ay for the twenty-four hours ending at 6 o'clock last night.

Itiaca, Oct. 1] —Serator Conkling spok= here yesteraay for about two hours to an im mense mesting. The principal topic was finances. He answered the attacks upon the ee Rs System. and explained tke nded debt and the paper currency of the nation, and denied emphatically the assertion that there had en any contraction of the currency since 1808, five years before the crisis came. He showed there was more pa culation now than in 1873, and twice the amount of 1°50. He gave a minute history of the issuance of bonds and the organization of the nat onai bank system, what led to it, and its advantages to the peopie. He showed that the taxes imposed on banks were greater than the public were aware of, so that banks from their cireulation netted not over three per cent., and that by the banks under the system the loss to depositors was less than by savings banks in a single year, and not a dollar had ever been lost by the bi holders, aud that the biils of the nati banks were the safest ever devised. If tiese banks were wiped out of tence the Treasury and taxpayers of localities would lose more than all the profits made by all a banks in the Union.

THe } RETUKN OF TIE § A telegram to the era d from Detroit, Mich.. October 4, says: The hearing of the Harland-Tilden case before Commis. s oner Davison was continued today. The time was spent in long arguments by @. V.N. Lothrop, ‘land's counsel. and Harland him- self in support of a motion to dismiss the charge on the ground that there had not been | sufficient evidence produced to support it, but | at the close of theargument the commissioner | refused to grant the motion. A rather sensa- | tional scene in connection with this ease oc- curred in the U.S. cireuit court this after- noon, Yesterday afternoon Mr. Sherman, assistant U. S. attorney, submitted a petition to Judge Baxter, of the U. S. circuit cor rt, asking an order to show cause against Law rence McClosky and the oflicers aud servants of the New York mine why they should not return to the office of Mr. Maynard, of Mar- quette, the four books stolen on the night of September 28, and restraining tho: sent from otherwise disp Z of the books. Judge Baxter zranted the petition and issued the “t . r M to-md t the books wi some parts of them id if the order was liced J by the e Bux- and carry away the books per Way to raise the stion ty of evidence. and went on to athrop, this is ne way to try cases, now it is not a proper mode of serving a writ of replevin—to have horses and car- riages in readiness, with the attorney in the vase on the box, and then to attempt to seize papers and books legally before an officer mony, aud to remove € ce and custody of that officer. I think Mr. Tilden is too xood a law- yer to sanction any such proceedings, and I have no doubt that if you will telegcaph to bim he will give up the books. Ata’l events E think the power of this court ample te compel their return, and if necessary I will exhaust that power.” Mr Lathrop made some endea- yor to have the judge modify this ae. but in vain. It is not understood that Me- Closky had telegraphed Tilden for instruc. tions as to whether he shall surrender the books, but so far asis now known no answer has been received. To-night it is said that the present custodian of the stolen books will to-morrow agree to return them to juette in the condition in which they wore teens they were captured. Bowre’s Lock —The maturity stakes, won at Jerome Park, New York. on Tuesday, by ex Goy. Bowie's Maryland filly Oriole, wei > worth $4,000. The race was for three miles, and the starters were McGrath's Leonard, P. Lorijlard’s Zoo-Z00, Beimont’s ~juebanna, Snedecker's Cuba, Clalaugh’s Cloverbrook: and Bowie's Oriole. The latter went to the front from the jump, and was never headed. Cuba and Leonard broke down before the race was over. Cloverbrook, also a Maryland horse, was quite shaky on his hear foreleg as he walked back to the judges, after the race, for the joekey to get weighed. having come in third, while “Z00-Zoo, although souod in the legs, was not what she should have been for a ‘Dner.
