To th Sanitary Commission now fitting at Memphis As a citizen, and somewhat in ti r, sU'cl in the solution of the questions be fore tbe commission, and seeing it is willing to hoar from the people, I desire to make a lew rimarlra nnd suggestions which, if they do cot facilitata iU labors, will at least, I hope, enlighten the commission as lo tome ttiicg vrr.ica, I apprehend, look a little s'.raco to scientist!! and euntleinen ofexpori enco and observation. The gentlemen of the commission, had they been in Metnphs one year h'ccp, vroaM have heard, as they did yexterday at tbe 1'eabody, such remarks as "Wo cannot atlord to have another yellow fever epidemic; it would ruin oar city for ever." 1 wrs torry to see th:s statement to tho commit s ou applauded; but so it was, and so it was last year. Ancther thine that has likely tH'oaishni tot only the gentlemen ot the ooiuuiiMi on, but the entire people of the United SttiH aud, perbars. portion of Europe, Asia and Africa, and that is the statement of a morning paper lately wad j in rgrnrd to the filthy condition of .Memphis!, find tbe prediction that nnlesa thoroughly s-wercJ at once, we were utterly lof, and that the yellow-fever would take entire possession ; that our trada was now be ing taken away on this account, and the claim row set up by it that we are second only to New Orleans as a cjlton mart, or any oth'r wirt, and that Memphis is no more filthy than any other southern city. The former assertions and otutenients were 83 constantly kept btfo.o the pub'io that the impression was finally made (oh stranger) that Mem phi was in a flat, with a slugtfi&b bayon, fall of Illation tilth, while every inch of soil was thoroughly saturated with it, and that its citi.eui wero public beggars, without shame or manhood. IKher remarks made (it $eems by autlwrity) to the commission perhaps no 111 tie aHtoniehed it, which were: "What this body shall propose the people of Memphis will accept blindly,'" and "this body should pay what we are to do, then we will do it." Now, with all due respect to the gentlemen composing the commission and the author of the remarks so made, I must say that I, and a great many other "good nnd lawful citi zens," are not willing to blindly accept the recommendations of gentlemen who modest ly (and I believe honestly) lay no claim to in fallibility, and who as gentlemen and scient ists are bound to admit (as come of them have) that certainly bo tar as the yellow-fever is concerned, any plan they may suggest or that may be adopted aa to drainage or the bayou will simply be an experiment, and as ' to that I will say, that while the cotton mer chant of Memphis may bo amply ablo to "do it," the average owner of real estate is neith er able or willing to carry out any plan which would entail an additional tax of more than per cent, per annum, and thry would, if Cossible, prefer to know that that was not to e absorbed by a ring. Real estate owners have been by a few threatened with an exodus of merchants unless they submit to their ' dictation in this matter, and gentlemen who entertained other views were not allowed to speak, when,, as a matter of fact, we cannot move our house) and lots, while they say they can move their money and trade. Un der these circumstances, it seems to me that the owners of real estate are more vitally in terested than the cotton factor, and we hope he has rights which the commission will con sider in their suggestions. Hit b oases and lota can be seen aud assessed, and by miator tune, misrule and theft ho has been ground to powder; and while the immense cotton trade, of Memphis has already filled the pock ets rf the n' 1-ch.uit, it has brought no balm of Ciilead to his wounds. He can't sell it, can't borrow money on it, or rent it at any profit, oicept it bo in the most eligible posi tion as to trails. These i thing? are true; and we horM the commission will, in any sug gestion. tht-y may make, consider the con Jit oi of the people, and remember that tho charter cf Memphis was taken away, and her ' name bandied as a repudiator, because sha was not able to pay fif ty cents on tbe dollar ot her debts. No one can deny tbe cauBe nor the fact; ond yet gentlemen will persist ii saying that we can "do it." If God had not made Memphis sho would long since have been destroyed by her friends, for they honestly believe what tbey Bay at the time, but they know not "what they do." I appre hend fto-u what has transpired that human excreta at nny ae or conditio is not con sidered by the whole commission as a factor la v'How-fever or hence as a very deletes iou article for it ha been utilised at points contiguous to human habitations on tho sug gestions of lain ot known science, and with out bad (fleet (a member of the commission in a published paper so recommended). It is possible lhat smelling aud breathirg it may (as in New O leant?) be less hurtlul than drinking it, as in Memphis cistern water. Yet no well read gentldman will say that either has produced yellow-fever, and I desire in this connection to say that since tin fever in 1873 we have lost a little of the great confidence that we deservedly had (as to other matters) in phj Kijians, tor they ould neither tell us the cause nor the cure of tho fever; and to this day, nearly if not all with wtom 1 have conversed, hate admitted that their remedies are t.rpcrttntnls, so that we have been forced to think for and take care of ourselves, and i .. - i . ; AAHnt...lA while "cleaalicess is next to godliness," and is really a good thing to keep, yet it will not prevent 5eliow-fever from coming here: nor being heft, will the fever destroy Memphis and we think by this time tbe gentlemen of the commission uavo reached the last con clusion, if not the first. In making sug gestions tho commission cannot rely upon the estimates of costs in filling vaults aa made to iU questions at the Peatody. The number - of v.tu.ts is estimated at nine thousand in round r.uuibers, aud even at the estimate mad) (riiteen dollars for emptying and lillinr up) it would cost in cash one hundred and forty-tire thousand dollars Hat Ibis etuumte is tar too low, as Mr. urn Cannon (who follows the business, nnd, ty tho way, from being a siokly youth has become hardy and stronv) will state. For ic stance, I tubrnit that, while the filling of a tew vaults would create no demand tor dirt or carts, yet a wholesale, peremptory and vigorous order to till nine thousand would Ciiuio dirt to sell by the pound, instead of the yard, and would stop commerce and raise tho once ot transportation beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. Besides this, the carts could not dump, in but tew instances, and the dirt would hava to ba handled twice, and wheeled to its destination through alley-ways, buck-yards and cellars. So we can safely double that estimate1, and wo have cash out, two hundred and Einoty thousand dollars for thnitem. iuen Air. Cannon cuars to fur bis'ii tQe barrel and move it tor one dollar per tr.o il j, or twelve dollars per year (and this is cheap enough), and we add cah for one year. one iiuuareu nnd ciut thousand dollars, inakioLf a grand total ot three hundred and n.ue:y-evv.ht thousand dollars for the first year, una not a sewer, nor paddle, uor an ousce oi dirt or lime for deouurizing, to say nothing of bu.ldiritf perhaps lour thousand out-houses to put tee barrels under (tor we could not ke 'p them in cur Swellings), and then we leave out in the cold all those stores and d;vel!inL's which havo no room to build an out-house on, and wa have toi yet filled up s. rue six thousand worthless cisterns and dog aa many new ones. We might very well doul le the figures already made, and will gentlemen still say lhat we can "doitr" Tho erdinanco to enforce this has already paired one or more reading;, but we hope it will bo ttayed until the commissioners shall have reported. The earth closet system is a larci) and a irauu so tar as a cit.y is concerned, for if put in practice here we will indeed "smell to high heaven." Hut all say ct nuiKt do something with the vaultn. Verv good. Lt t the engineer take a map of the city and trace hit lines, showing in every part the rise of the river or bayou as affect ing vaults just "as if he were jotting the soundings in shallow water), and where that map shows that the water will not rise from rirer or bayou within, say eighteen inches, of the surface, then if there is not such a vault on that lot, order one to be dug to whit sand or good water, walled up with good brick, six inches above the surface, the last six feet to be laid iu the best cement to keep oat rat . holes and rain water. Then order every cistern within thirty feet of it or the old vault filled up, and allow none to be dug any nearer. This in all probability would reach the main business and four-fifths of the dwelling houses. Aa to the one-fifth, if no other better plan could be devised, let the earth-closet law be applied, and as the vaults of these are necessarily very shallow, it would cost but little to remove and fill op nntil we can perfect some tile or other cheap underground drainage, which should first be applied to such unfortunate localities; and just here I might add that the ninth and tenth wards of the city were lately very willing to be remitted to the county, and I see no reason for a change of ideas since, so that the question asked by tbe commission about remedies for remote localities might be answered in a great measure by reducing tbe city to its old limits. As to surface drainage, nature has given us undulation end the bayou. It would very much add to the efficiency of the latter if it had a brick bottom or was straightened, or both. Then, as no fecal matter could get into it, it would be perfectly innoxious by a little flushing, but as it is, and with no privies debouching in it, I think as we have stood it forty years, we could then endure it a little longer. Many thick that, as we never had fever to any extent until the wooden pavements wero put down, that they were the cause ot the fever. Be this as it may, many more (and a great many) believe that the wood has absorbed much tilth, and that in its rotten state, with sprinkling-carts, water-squirts and the hot puu playing ou it, there arises a vapor by day aa wtll as by night, that is not only unp!eas-ant, but de cidedly more deleterious tbaa the vaults. Now, the commerce of the city as well as its health, we think, is involved in this p va ment question, and it seems to me that the privy-yaults being settled, the pavements or puro river water ought to be next. As the cost of theso will be utterly beyond the ability of the people to meet and live, it will be necessary to have some outside aid, and without going from our own fit ate, I believe she can constitutionally, and will with alacrity, remit or apply such revenues due or to come due from us as will enable us in time to do nil that the commis eion may suggest, and if "Memphis rises from her ashes" she will, by tbe enhanced valued in her borders, more than repay the bounty, and in the meantime, the people in other counties will not liva in the daily fear of sporads. I am, gentlemen of the commis sion, vry respectfully, c. w. fkazer. . November 25, 187l. A Complaint that Hhonld be Investi gated. Editors Appeal I desire space in your valuable paper to make a statement to the publio in reference to a d fhcutty that oc curred near my basinets place yesterday afternoon, iu which 1 conceive that I have been cr jelly treated. It is this: Late in the afternoon a difficulty occurred in my immedi ate vicinity, and recognizing some of my friends involved, I hastened to the spot, simply in the hope of being able to suppress the trouble. My sole otject was to act in concert with the policemen, and simply asked my friend to go quietly with the officers, and that I would see that he should not sutler, or something to that effect. One ot the police became somewhat irritated, and ordered me to attend to my own business. In order to avoid trouble with the olhcer. 1 immediatelv started home, leading my two little children, aged respectively tour and six years. Just as 1 reached the sidewalk in front ot my door I was brutally seized in my rear by a huge po liceman, who grasped me by the back of tbe neck and between two officers, who twisted my arms so as to prevent the use ot them, and was violently hurled to the ground, la the meantime my wife with an infant in her arms, as well as a daughter fifteen years old, were clinging to me and crying most piteous- ly in my behalf. Heedless of the teara of my tamuy or entreaties of my friends, 1 was ruthlessly marched through the center of the street from my hoase to Shelby street, when 1 was permitted to walk on tbe pavement. Up to this time one of the policemen had held a firm grasp upon the back of my neck. 1 came to America thirty-one y:ars ago, and nave endeavored to be a good cit z.n, and through all these years I have never seen a murderer even treated with more brutality than I conceive I was this evening. I claim that I havo been cruelly treated by parties who are supposed to be the guardians ot the people. KM CASTAGKINO. Young Ladies' School AND KINDERGARTEN, 10 THIRI NT.

It is the purest, fafest, and in every way the most effectual alterative medi cine known or available to tjj public.
