CHOLERA.
Cholera, the scourge of mankind, is
again in the United States. Tt made
its appearance in the cities which suf
fered most from its ravages in IRGO,
Nashville and Memphis, thus going out
side of the rule laid down by Evgeni:
Su* for its progress—uamely, that hav
ing originally made its appearance under
the proprietorship of the Wandering
Jew who, for some reason unexplained,
always made his headquarters in the
jungles of India, and periodically made
journeys to the eastward of his place of
residence. From forte of habit, we
suppose, the cholera, until within a few
years, invariably adhered to the habit
acquired during its apprenticeship to
the Wandering Jew, and traveled cast
by regular stages, in the route followed
by mankind. If it adhered to prccc-!
dent it shouM have come from Vienna
to the ports of the Baltic, thence to
England, New York, via Cincinnati to
Nashville. Instead of this it has given
the intermediate countries the go-by, ;
and proceeded directly from Austria to
Tennessee. We suppose the Wander
ing Jew Las resumed his proprietorship
in the cholera,.and in a whim chartered ;
a steamer which took him directly from
Trieste to Nashville, or that the chole-'
ra has determined to be govermnod no I
longer by old Jules, but like other dis- j
eases to make its appearance upon suffi- j
cient cause iu any locality which will!
furnish material for its operations. We
will leave these points to be determined
by the medical profession, who will no
doubt settle the whole difficulty (us they
usually do when new phases appear in
a disease), by declaring that this is not
cholera hut something entirely ucw.
This jump of the cholera from Aus
tria to Tennessee has not supprised us
so much as might he supposed. So
many points that we considered settled
beyond controversy (when we were
boys) have been determined to he mis
takes that we are prepare’d for anything.
For instance, until within the past few
years we never suspected that the world
was more than six thousand years old;
that any man ever lived before Adam;
that we ever had a monkey for au an
cestor —and, though not endorsing all
these propositions now—the frequency
with which we hear of the prc-Adamic
man—the Darwinian theory and of for
mations which geologists toll us are
hundreds of thousands years eld, the
gravity with which these subjects arc
discussed, and the silent acquiescence
given by every one to these theories,
have staggered us, aud wo are at sea,
and have no idea what is the orthodox
belief in anything. Oh ! temjporo -

Something Meaner than the Back
Pay Steal.—A Washington dispatch
to the Times says: There has been a
great deal of indignation privately ex
pressed by persons interested at the
manner in which the volumes of the
Medical and Surgical History of the
War have Men disposed of by some
members of Congress. There were
from nine to eleven sots priutod for each
Senator and member of the House. One
would suppose that every member
-would have at least that small number
of physicians in his district to whom he
would esteem it a privilege to send the
set; but, mysteriously, a large number
of sets found their way into the hands
of dealers in second-hand books and
document brokers, and at one time they
were selling from nine dollars to ten
dollars a set. The price has since in
creased somewhat, but there are still
sets to be had at a very moderate price
compared with the cost to the govern
ment. There is no doubt that geveral
members sold their sots outright, or al
lowed persons connected with or depen
dent upon them to make sales and pock
et the price.
Says a New Orleans paper: “A
girl of this city recently ate a box of
castile soap to get rid of freckles. The
mourners remarked a very peaceful ex
pression about the mouth, at the funer
al, but the freckles were as numerous
Of over,”
GRANT’S SALARY SWINDLE.
Tho New York World urges that
this gigantic swindle may bo defeated.
Its view of the subject is this: “That
as no money can he paid from the Treas
ury, unless specially appropriated by
an act of Congress, no money having
been specially appropriated for the pay
moot of Grant’s increase of salary, the
increase enrmot therefore he paid to j
him. “The act,” says the World , is cu-!
titled ‘an act making appropriations for I
the year 1874,’ that being the limit of |
the fiscal year. No dollar can ho drawn
from the Treasury except what by this
hill is specifically appropriated. Sala
ries may bo raised or reduced, but be
yond the amount “appropriated” to pay
them they cannot be paid. The inereaso j
of the Executive and judicial salaries
jis in the first section. The President
I is to receive §50,000, payable monthly
—that is, in each month after the 14th
of March, 1873, ho is to rcceiv6 $4,100.
OG. Yet the whole amount specifical
ly appropriated (p. 115) is hut $25,000.
On the 4th of next September, if the
increased payment he made, the Presi
dent will have received $24,999 with- ;
in $1 of the whole amount appropriated.
Will the Treasury dare to pay him
more, even though Congress has raised
hid inadvertently forgot to j
provide for it? We think not. It.
must go into a deficiency bill, next year,
or an extra session will have to he call
ed which even General Grant, bitt-er as
may he his pecuniary disappointment,
will not venture on. Avery careful j
examination of the statute lias led us to '
the conclusion we have thus endeavored
to state, and to which we earnestly soli
cit the attention of our readers. If we
arc right, the salary swindle may yet
he frustrated.”
.Mixing in the New York Schools.
—Threo colored girls were admitted to
the Normal College of New York on
Thursday last, aud ten were admitted'
\ to the grammar school in Twelfth street. j
The Sun says at the opening of the
College on Friday morning Mr. Thom
as Hunter, the President, addressed
the pupils, saying that the colored chil
dren had as much right there as the
whites if they were found equally com
petent after an examination made by
him. lie approved the law which gave
| equal rights to all in the schools, cars,
theatres, hotels, and all public institu
tions.
j University Record. —We acknowl
edge the recejition of several numbers
! of this neat weekly college paper, pub
lished at the University of the South,
Suwanee, Tenn. The Record shows
! the steady growth and progress of the
University. The marticulants for 1873
number lifty'-three, and the w hole num
ber of students exoecd two hundred.
We recognize among the marticulants
many familiar names, such as Kershaw,
DeSaussure, Alston, McGowan, Sim
lvins, Scabrook and llhett, from South
Carolina. Texas, Alabama, Louisan a,
Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi are
also well represented.
The Record shows that Mr. Hugh
Craig, tf Cambridge, Eugland, has been
added to the list of professors, as Pro
fessor of the Language, aud that
Mr. Thos. Williamson, of Virginia, has
been assigned to duty as Assistant Pro
fessor of Latin and Master of the Gram
mar School. These acquisitions must
add greatly to the popularity and suc
cess of the University.
A Scnday Scene in the New York
Tomiib. —The Sun of Saturday says :
Edward S. Stokes and Frank Hardin
Walworth passed, a quiet day in the
Tombs yesterday, no visitors being ad
mitted on Sunday. The ltev. Mr.
Heath, an Episcopal clergyman, held
divine service in the raorniDg on the
second tier of the male prison. The
cells were all closed and doors closed
upon the prisoners. The preacher stood
on the bridge between the oorridors.
His congregation huddled in the nar
row cells, with fingers clutching the
bars of grated doors, and ears bent to
the low casings. The auditors, although
invisible, were Stokes, Walworth, Scan
dcl King, Simmons, Sharkey, Roscnz
weig, and a host of other criminals of
less degree. Eight ladies formed the
choir, and sang several hymns, the
chorus of which were sung by the un
seen prisoners in the cells. After a
discourse by the clergyman lasting half
an hour, the services were concluded
with the singing of “There is rest for
the weary,” In the afternoon there
were like services in the women’s prison
THE FARMER'S MOVEMENT
There is a deep significance, says tho
Louisville Ledger, fti tho farmer’s move
ment, begun in the West, nnd which is
spreading throughout the Southwest,
and promises to bocomc general. It
imports a realisation upon tho part of
the great producing masses, that while*
they have boon trusting puhlio affairs
to tho politicians, they have boon sold
-out; and a purpose upon their part U>
cnjpin the delivery of the property. In
other words, tho movoment means that
tho peoplo of tho country have opened
their eyes to tlic strides which thoso
holding official sway have been making
toward centralism and despotism; and
that they have determined to call a halt.
It is a protest against corruption, usur
pation ond disregard of constitutional
obligation upon the part of thoso in
authority. It is the people rising iu re
bellion against monopolies—the masses
moving to sever the chains which have
been silently drawn about them, in the
shape of special monopolistic privileges
during these later years.
We need not say that uv are in full
sympathy with ‘he objects of the art all
igation—for it lias assumed organized
form. We have always entertained aud
advocated just the sentiment which un
derlies this movement. Though it is
non-partizan iu its confession of faith—
that is to say, though it assumes the
name of no political party —yet it is
substantially the old-fashioned, siinon
pure, genuine article of Democracy; an
assertion of the right of tho people to
regulate their own affairs in the own
way, subject only to tho constitution ; a
denial of the right of Congress or of the
State Legislature, to transfer the right
and liberties of the many to the few
handed together as incorporated com
panies. If these objects he kept stead
ily in view, and the movement kept in
proper hands within proper bounds, it
will work a restoration of the suprema
cy of the Constitution, which means the
supremacy of the people. There are
many dangers to he guarded against.-
Excess and extremes must he avoided,
the counsels of impracticable, rash men,
who will aspiro to lead, must he disre
garded ; in applying antidotes for one
poison another must not bo injected
into tho body politic. Liberty does not
mean license. In denying the validity
of unconstitutional legislation, care must
bo taken to enforce respect aud obedi
ence to all propCrly enacted laws till
regularly repealed. The leadership must
he kept out of the hands of nolitioal
hummers and broken down party hacks.
There should he no secrets connected
with the movement. In a republican
government, that which can not stand
the light of day, and free and full dis
cussion, Las not merit. All the people
have a right to know all about any
movement relating to puhlio affairs.—*
Secret political organizations are prone
to become narrow, dogmatic, proscrip
tive, vicious and corrupt. Tricksters
and bad men will get control. We cau
tion the laboring masses, the producers
of all our wealth, tiie farmers and me
chanics of the country, while organizing
for the protection of their rights against
despotism and oppression, to avoid the
pitfalls above poiuted out. Move cau
tiously, move openly. Proclaim your
purposis upon the house-top, and carry
your motto at the front.
The imports of raw silk at New York
for the month of May were of the value
of $94,803, against $284,380 in the cor
responding mouth last year. At San
Francisco for the last month the imports
were s2Bs,s2s,against $193,725 in May,
1872 —a decrease at both ports of $97,-
777. Uneasiness pervades tbo silk mar
kets of the East, and prices are gene
rally reported as very irregular. The
depressed tone of the silk market thro’
out the world, as the season is closing,
and settlements being made up, would
geem to indicate, outside of other dis
turbing causes, speculative overtrading
for the season last past in this valuable
article of tbo world’s commerce. The
home market carries forward a much
larger stock than last year. The im
portations of manufactured silk at the
port of New York for the first five
months of the current year are placed
at the value of $12,824,304, against
$16,705,030 in the corresponding time
in 1872.

A BIT OF SUPREME COURT HIS
TORY.
HKCHUONB KNOWN IN WALL STREET BE
.FORK PROMULGATED FROM THE BENCH.
It has always been difficult to obtain
access to the public records of the Su
preme Court. Tlio clerk lias largo fees
for copying tlicm, and as all inspections
of papers tend to decrease bis inconio,
it can bo readily understood why every
public paper about that office is guard
ed with zeal. Whilo this condition of
affairs has long been ad annoyance, and
justly deserves public censure, since the
public has full right to oxamiuo a cer
tain portion of the records at will, the
secresy observed by the judges in re
gard to their consultations and deci
sions has been regarded on all sides as
eminently proper and highly commend
able. Occasionally inklings of votes
and decisions in theso private consulta
tions have been obtained in advance,
but heretofore the Supreme Oouit has
beeu the only important body or de
partment in the government service,
the confidential business of which the
press at the capital has not been able to
furnish liberally to the public. But
great railroad corporations seems to be
approaching the omnipotent in civil af
fairs throughout the laud, and, iu this
Memphis and El Paso case, to have en
tered the inner council chamber of.the
Supreme Court itself.
The decision involves the title to
eight millions acres of the choicest
lands in Texas. An enormous issue
of land bonds awaited in Wall street
the effect of the decision. The opinion
was agreed upon by the judges three
weeks before its announcement from
the bench. It was written out in formal
shape ten days before its delivery, and
immediately became known to those in
terested among railway officials.
Such an instance is believed to be
without a parallel in the history of the
court. Opiuious in regard to politi
cal issues have been foreshadowed at
times with considerable accuraoy, but
this is believed to be the first occasion
when a decision of the Supreme Court,
upon Which immense values were de
pending, has been at the disposal of the
operators in Wall street long before the
public learned of its character in the
only legitimate way.
Prussia has settled on a lino for a
canal which is to conucct the North Sea
with the Baltic. It is to be thirty feet
deep, sufficient for the very largest class
of vessels. This will give to Prussia
another outlet to the Baltic, and add
immensely to the naval and commercial
importance of United Germany.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says :
The Chicago gamblers have subscribed
SSOO for a monument to a deceased
member of their craft who, we arc told,
will bo raised from the c.omuion bury
ing ground and interred in another.
We hayc heard of raising a live gamb
ler out, but we have' never heard of
betting being so high as to raise out a
dead one.
Mrs. Lottie Palmor, a pretty little
widow, some time ago established a
photograph gallery in Racine, Wiscon
sin, and so many married men got into
the habit of going to sit for their pic
tures that their wives inferred the affir
mative from the negative, and incited a
mob to break up the gallery last week,
and to expel its fascinating proprietress
from the town.
The Eufaula (Ala.) Times of a lake
date says : This country is running
away with grass, which in some instan
ces threatens to destroy the crops. In
consequence, lsbor is in' demand at a
dollar a day and rations. Nevertheless
it is difficult to be obtained. A friend
tells us that such offers from him yes
terday fell like “water on a duck’s
back.” in a crowd of twelve colored
men, which he found “plumping the
middle man from taw” in the suburbs of
the city.”
The German Reichstag has placed
in the hands of a responsible commis
sion* the sura of 187,000,000 thalers,
from the French war indemnity, for the
purpose of pensioning the invalids
and widows and orphans of the
war, of which there are 901 officers,
88 staff and assistant surgeons, 497
widows, and 916 orphans of officers,
32,660 invalids of the lower classes in
the North German army, and the in
valids of the Bavarian, Wurtemburg
and Saxon army corps
Loaves and Fishes. — Tho Nation
gives tho following definition of the
Republican party. “It is held together
as an organization solely by the posses
sion of tho Government offices. This
makes it a real busiuess concern, with
accounts to keep, earnings to make,
dividends to distribute, and claims, to
adjust. It consequently docs not need
opinions, and, to do it justice, makes no
body of political doctrine in existence
which will furnish authority for the poli
cy of. the Administratiou in Louisiana,
and yet the party papers all defend it.”
Export of American Iron. —A
Wolverhampton, England, trade report,
under date of May 28, says : The pre
vailing high prices are bringing about
extraordinary results. It t ran.spires on
’change here, this afternoon that a con
sumer in this district is.about to import
from America 1,000 tons of strip iron,
wholly made iu the country, and that
the railway axles also made in the
United States are selling there at £3
per ton under the quotations of the
leading English markets. The iron or
ders are fast running out here, and there
is much underselling. Inferior lots arc
offered in lots of two hundred tons, £l2
10s. per toD.
The Traffic in Italian Children.
—ln regard to the recent publication
of the trade in Italian children in this
country, Consul General Lucca, of Italy,
publishes a card in the New York pa
pers of yesterday in which lie asserts
that the sufferings of the children
brought here as slaves have not been
exaggerated in the least. So far, how
ever, from his being to blame iu the
matter, he says that he has been doing
his utmost to stop the inhuman traffic,
and refers, as one of the re-ults of his
labors to this end, to the recent act of
the Italian Parliament making trading
in children a felony, and severely pun
ishing not only those who employ them,
but parents who consent to their e:n
plojment.

Another Back Pay Congressman
Heard From. —Mr. Jasper Packard is
a member of Congress from tho 11th
Indiana District, and when he returned
home from the 42d Congress he took
his back pay with him. A county con
vention in his district did not approve
of this, and requested him to resign,
lie has written a letter declining to do
as requested, and claiming that his bac k
pay is no burden upon his constituents
since it is borne by the whole country.
In order to appease them, however, he
has estimated that the share taken from
the people of his district is sl2. and
this he offers to deposit for the benefit
of its 140,000 inhabitants. AH of
which has greatly increased the dissat
isfaction with Mr. Packard, and con
firmed his certainty for retiring from
political life at the end of his term.
Spanish Finances.— Senor Tutaiijhe
Spanish Minister of Finance, has pub
lished a balance sheet which makes
rather a bad showing for the finances of
the country. On the one side he shows
a national debt of 10,686,830,263 pese
tas, and on the other national resources
of 2,856,663,032 pesetas. ThU leaves
a balance of debt over resources of 7,-
830,150,003 pesetas, or $1,830,000,000)
even if the State.should collect all its
outstanding assets and should sell every
scrap of the national propetty. Senor
Tutan has been cugaged in devising
plans for the payment of the two-thirds
cash portioji of the coupons due on the
Ist of July, aud the above exhibit of
the hopeless condition of the Spanish
treasury may throw some light on the
rejection of his linanco bills and the
resignation of the Cabinet on tho 10th
instant.
—
The Presidency of France. —The
Paris correspondent of tho London
Neuss describes President McMahon as
“a man of military appearance, his
carriage erect, but lie walks stiffly in
consequence ot the hip wound h e met
with at Sedan. His blue eyes, which
are set close together, express quicknoss
of observation, but neither keen pane-,
tratiou nor intellectual power. Tho
physiognomy is Irish, but without a
gleam of Irish mirth or liumor, the
countenance being sorrowful.” The
same writer declares that “McMahon
has not the faintest perception of tho
ludicrous, and that his imagination is
easily led away by the pomps and shows i
ot life- His mind has a certain epic j
tcndoncy which, if allied to intellectual |
power, would make him one of the!
greatest men of of the century. But 1
unfortunately his will aud intellect ire j
both feeble.”
