New Orleans, Sept. 28.—The yellow lever situation here contin ues exasperatingly the same. A daily average ot 18 to 20 cases and two deaths has kept up. But while there is no sign of an epi demical visitation, the slow pro gress ot the disease puts obstacles daily in the way of the merchant public, who are anxious to again re sume trade with the surrounding country. The record to-day was not unlike that ot many other days, in that it showed a death through sheer neglect of the patient. Twenty-one cases up to date have resulted fatally. The facts are in controvertible that at least half died through neglect or lack of at tention. During the 24 hours ending Tues- day, September 28, at 9 p. m. there were: cases ol yellow fever, 19; deaths, 2. Total cases of yellow fever to date, 179; total deaths from yellow fever to date, 21, AT MOBILE.

Governor Kllerbe Orders Countable* I® Send Them la. (The State, Sept a»th.) Governor Ellerbe yesterday fol lowed up his official proclamation in regard to the removal of the constabulary by issuing the follow ing circular letter, which has been sent to every member of the force in the State: Columbia, Sept. 27, ’97. Mr. , State Constable: Sir: Governor Ellerbe directs me to notify you that your com mission as State constable expires on the 30th day of the present month by virtue of his proclama tion of this date revoking all such commissions. You will at that time send me your badge and pis tol and any other property you may have belonging to the State; also ship to the State commissioner any contraband goods you may have seized and on hand at that time. Very respectfully, W, W. Norris, Clerk. When asked yesterday if he had officially noticed the authorities of Charleston of his action in the metropolitan police matter, he said that no notice had been given. The law simply required when such proclamations were issued that the proclamation be published in offi cial form at least once in some newspaper at the capital of the State. This requirement had been complied with. Private Secretary Cooper stated that as an act of courtesy he had sent official copies of the proclamation to the Charles ton board of police commissioners and to Marshal Martin. On every side the action of Gov. Ellerbe has been most heartily ap proved by all classes of people. Down at the dispensary yesterday Commissioner Vance would have nothing to say about the result likely .to follow the change. He said, however, that notwithstand ing the original package stores, the dispensary was still shipping out the usual amount of goods and the money was coming in regularly. He does not seem to think that the opposition is amounting to any thing. For Sale. Mr. James Alleu’s residence on Irby street has been placed in my bauds for sale.

This in crease in pension payments he ex plains as due chiefly to the fact that there are about 200,000 old claims pending, which are being adjudicated as rapidly as possible. W hether the increase in the rev enue will be snfficient to prevent a deficit at the end of the fiscal year would seem to be doubtful, though the commissioner thinks the fond will be sufficient. F.
