Letter from Washington.
Mr. Stephens’ Testimony— 'rocress of the Politicians’
War—Manenvermg f..r a Position—lho Situation of
Parties—i'rospect in tho Future.
[rauK our ow.v c irrksfoxukxt ]
Washington, April 14th, 18G6.
Mr. Stephens’ testimony before the Recon
struction Committee has done good. Indeed,
bis sojourn here has been highly beneficial.
Ho has, in his evidence and private conversa
tions, placed his views of the condition of
affairs at thi South in such a light as to
make an impression.
The present moment in politics here is one
of observation and deliberation and expect
ancy. Ihe President and Congress have
come together in hostile collision, as Gssian
would two black clouds, fuP of
tierce-flushing lightning. After the first
shock, they are at a pause now. The Con
gress, encouraged by tbe late elections, and
their two-third Civil Rights Bill, passed in
spite of veto humbled in the dust, consider
themselves masters of the situation, but wish
to make sure of their game, and hence they
are deliberating. The fact of their holding
power compels them to develop a plan of re
construction. In doing this there is a cer
tain degree of difficulty. The majority in
Congress are not of precisely the same reli
gion in reference to the blacks. One wing of
the party are real negro worshippers; they
think tbe heavens are hung in black, and tbe
angels are of the same color. But this in
tense faith does not pervade the whole pii ty.
And yet the problem is, to introduce meas
ures on wbicn tbe party may vote as a unit.
Some of the party—l mean some of the ma
jority in Congress—would be wi ling to let
the question of negro suffrage rest in abeyance
at the South sot tbe present; others consider
this as the question. A few days since I
heard the inquiry made of a leading Radical,
under circumstances that required a candid
answer on his part —‘‘What would satisfy
tbe party opposed to the President on tbo
subject of Reconstruction?” Be replied
“Negro suffrage.” Be further stated that
there were forty men in the House who made
this a sine qua non. About one third of the
pariy in the Senate occupy the same ground.
Tbe unconditional negro suffrage men are
therefore in a minority in Congress, in point,
of numbers. But it must be remembered
that this minority represent tbe great idea
which occupies Jbe Northern mind at the
present time. No people ever are possessed
of more than one great idea at a time. This
idea now at the North is tbe negro. Hence,
the power of the extreme Radicals in Con
gress is far beyond their numerical strength;
they represent the absorbing idea of the
times. For this cause, wo see that by tho
universal consent of the public, the leader
ship of Congress is fe’t to be in Thaddeus
Stevens and Charles Sumner. In revolus
tionary eras, tbe extreme men rule. The
French revalfc'.ion commonced-w ; th Mirabeau:
it ended wi h Robespierre. Our revolution
is approaching its culminating point, for
Stanton controls the War Department; Holt,
military justice; Chase is at the bead of the
Judiciary, and Stevens and Sumner dominate
over the Legislative and Executive Depart
ments. Under these conditions, though tem
porary obstacles may be in the way, we can
not resist the sad impression that the ship of
State is steadily drifting in thn most danger
ous direction. But we of the South, who
have so greatly endured in the past, must
still bear our fate with sublime patience. To
do this is to conquer it.

Tbe Causes and Propagation of
Cholera.
In 1848-’9, when the cboleria was so fatally
prevalent in England, all attention was paid
to its nature and symptoms, which excited a
spirit of inquiry which was not allowed to
subside when the epidemic itself had ceased,
and tbe conclusions drawn from the peculis
arities of the disease throughout Europe only
confirmed tbe deductions already made du
ring the years 1817-’l£>, when the cholera
spread like a burning flame throughout Brit
ish India.
Dr. Max Pettenkober, the Professor of
Chemistry nt the Munich University, pubs
lisbed in 1855 a work entitled “Investigations
in Regard to tbe Propagation of Cholera,” in
which he showtd that there was no contra
diction in the data furnished by any of the
reports on cholera, excepts such as were nats
urally due to peculiar and modifying circum
stances, and tri>iims toj have established in
dubitably the following facts:
That cholura is not contagious in tho usual
sense of tbe word; but that it can neverthe
less, be carried from one place to another;
That no contagious cholera matter is float
ing in the atmosphere, and that consequently
the disease is not propagated by currents of
air;
That it is not propagated through the
water, and is propagated through the earth;
That the earth receives and develops the
cholera contagion from the excrements of
cased persons;
That the gases disengaged by the decompo
sition of organic substances, especially ol ex
crements, penetrate tbe earth, rise to the sur
face, and become then Ihe cause of levers and
of cholera.
That there has not been a single case ot cbol.
era observed in Bavaria that could not be tra
ced to that species of infection.
He also ae-ei iSThat, on rocky fonnda ions,
granite, or sandstone, cholera never becomes
epidemic ; that the cholera poison may be in a
person from twenty to twenty-eight days with
out manifesting itself ; and that choleia is al
ways carried to a place where it has not yet
appeared by a diseased person, and commuui
caied through excrements brought in contact
with the eaitb ; and that there is no other way
of propagating the disease. Immediate con
tact with the paiient, inhaling the air of the
sick room, wa.-hiug of tbe dead body —nay,
even dissecting it alter death, does not commu
nicate the disease.
These statements are to us ns n ivvl as they
are evidently important, and it the medical
profession cannot e ntrove. t them, tfietr ri tno
dies ami preventatives should bo based upon
their teachings. It. would »«■ m that if Protes
sur Pe tenko'ier’s theory be correct, it dull rtc
oneile most of our [ire ent d'ff rene> s ot op u
ion upon the sin j of cholera, an 1 prove that
its tn evi tnion Ij.-e, :o ag < at. ex -tr, wi'b >IL -
Selves, Tliete c«n be in Imtm 1U pre .-trim,
and it ie r-c iniiieuued i bat. Ihe stools ot chol
era pain nis before tie i g emptied bo dis n’-ct
ed by gireu coi periw, vitriol of iron,—which
is far better timu chloride ol lime, which only
purili-s tbe air. Io rooms and corridors, tur
pentine, spread on paper, and exposed to tbo
atmosphere, generates . z die, which is the beet
atmospheric purifier.
Not Necessary.—The Louisville Journal
says:
“The famous Kentucky Devil, they say, has
been lassoed and put in prison. Now let
Tennessee lasso and cage Brcuvnlow, and tho
two States will be even.”
In the Bouse a joint resolution for tho
lief of Mrs. Gen McCook, was pas.n d. It di
rects the Secretary of Hie Intel lor to pay her,
in consideration of the services to their
country in the late war, of liar husband and
eight sons, four of whom perished of wounds
received io battle in tho line of their duty,
an annuity ol two hundred and fifty dollars,
to be paid somi-anuuully.
