KENTUCKY ELEcrIoN The election in this
State took place on the 9th, 9Th, and 9Th inst's.,
and partial returns have come in not sufficient
however, to determine, with certainty, the re.
suit Fears had been justly entertained, that
the efforts which were made BY the whole
posse of office holders, assisted as they were by
the patronage of the General Government, to
control the State, and to influence tho local
elections, might meet with partial success. To
effeC, that object, no means were left un,ried,
mat offered any hope Of success. Money was
IavlShIy expended, Office holders occupied their
time IN riding about the country and IN writing
eIeclloneering letters; and copies of .hc Extra
Globe, more numerous and pestilent than the
Frogs of Egypt, swarmed over the who're coun
try, and were found by every mans fire side
who would allow Of their intrusion. Added to
all thls, was the fact, thai the National Repub
!lcan candidate, Buckner, belonged to the Pres.
byterlan denomination, against which strong
prejudices are entertained BY the mass of the
people of the West, and particular pains was
taken, by his opponents, TO inAame those pref
udices to the utmost extent He had more
over made himself personally unpopular, while
member Of Congress, by voting against allow
ing the mails TO run on Sunday. Under sucI
disadvantages, although confident of Clay
majority in the State, which would be brought
forth on the Presidential election, we still fear
ed that the present election might 90 agalns
us, particularly as respects the Governor. Til,
returns, however, so far as they have come in
look WELL and we think we may now calculate
with confidence, that the National Republican
have elected their Lieut. Governor, and stron.
mojorltes in both branches of the legslatur,
/ 1t is, also, much the most likely that they hav
aso elected their candidate for Governor Com
! pletc returns from II Counties, aud partial re
turns from II Counties more, give net re
publican gain of above 1000 votes, since tho Ia.
election, whom Gov. Mclcalf was chosen b
about 700 majority.

CHOLERA. The following extract of n
letter from a gentleman in New York TO hi,
friend in this city has been politely commu
nicated to US for publication:
NAV York, Aug. 6, 1889.
81 took a dose of magnesia and rhnbartI,
which left me in confirmed state of dar :
rhea, which lasted for three days, during
which time could find nothing to check it.
ION the third day began to have a diff
ferent feeling, such us dizziness in the head >,
a ringing in the ears, cold chils, very thirs q
ty, and il continual disposition to cascade.
Il then called in my doctor, who gave
directions TO have my body rubbed well with
spirits of camphor; and then laid flannel
moistened with it on the stomach and or
deIed me to take every hour four drops. |
was then covered with six or eight quilts
aud blankets. In about an hour and half
| was in Il profuse sweat, and the cholera,
as well as the diarrhea, soon became ex-
tnCt.
II rested quite well that night, but was
so weak in the morning as to he unable to
stand. The next day felt much better :;
ate becfsteaks at heakfast and dinner, drank
port wine and went to work again.
doctors differ much in the mode of
treatment. You may rely on the use of
camphor. 1t has become universal resort.
Should the cholera appear in your city, do
not fail to rub your body particularly your
stomncb) well with it on going to bed. II
you are lceI, let toeH alone it will take care
of itself Bleeding is considered danger
Gus knew an instance oflmmedlate death
from it,"

LATER FROM EUROPE.

By last evenings mail, accounts from London to
July IA we're received. Don Pedro had landed at
Oporto with his expedition from Tercera. 1t was
generally supposed, that Miguel could not oppose
any successful resistance to his progress, and some
were of the opinion that he would attempt to es-
cape to America, in one of our National ships, of
which two were lying in the Tagus. The Chole-
era was increasing in Paris. There was no other
news Of importance.

From The .Nsw York Dnilu .adreriiser

From the .Ne0 York DAILY Advertiser.
The cholera first made lis appearance in
this city about the Goth June, in the family
OF poor woman and her two children, said
to he from Quebec, who lived in Cherry
near James street. 1t made but little pro
gress until the 81 July, when the Board OF
Health first made their official report, an.
nouncing that several deaths had occurred
of disease resembling in some measure
the Cholera then prevailing in Canada
The disease fingered where it first broke
out, for several days, when 1t appeared III
another section Of the city, and on the op
poslte side of it, viz, at the foot of Reed
near Washington street. In a few dav $
after, it broke out in Laurens street. an d
the streets in that vicinity, and almost i'm =
medlately afterwards al Greenwich village.
Orange, and other streets about the Five
Points, and Mt Manhattan Island. Thes g
dtferant sections are distant from each 9th
er some half mile, aud some one or tw o
miles. They are all inhabited by crowd
ell population.
The cases have been by far the most nj
merons in Orange, Mulberry, and Laurens
streets; each of which have reported fron
one TO two hundred cases. For instance :.
in Orange street, No. 90 has had 10, Nos :.
81, Z; 80, 10; No. 81, IL; No. SO, 8; and
many other dwellings 4 and each. Fou r
houses in Little Water street, Nos. 3, 4 =,
), and Z, have had 80 cases. The street 5
in the Sixth Ward, at and near the Five
Points, furnish about eight hundred case
within the last weeks; and if those take n
to the hospitals from that ward were addict
it is probable that the number would amour t
to full twelve hundred. By the late censu. :,
the Sixth Ward contained 1850 inhab :
ants. five deduct those residing in tn e
ward in high and respectable streets. an,
also the number that have left the city, r
ward, the number left in the crowded an d
filthy portions will he about 10000, of thi
number, at least 1900 have had the disease
and full half have died: degree of NOR
tality seldom equalled in any country.
