enjoy as good health as they ever did, there
are, perhaps, some three or four cases of
bilious fever among US. There was, some
days ago, a stranger from the Canal, that had
something Of the Cholera. but he has entire

silence Of the disease IN the place. We have
no disposition to keep facts from the public

our duty to admit, and il is with modification
and shame that we do so, that official state
ments, such, are no longer worthy OF credit.
We do no refer to the numerous errors,
committed by the Treasury Department du
ring the last session of Congress, which have
been from time to time detected, and admit
sident Of the United States submitted to Con-
gress, in an official report, false estimate of

mate was prepared at his request for Tire
purpose OF controlling the legislation Of Con
gress; and that it was intended TO sustain that
act OF his administration upon which his. re

what we say Let the Globe deny she charge
We have the proof in our possession; and Il
our statement is denied. we with put the mat

.Mcine Election The news from Maine is
cheering to the friends of the Constitution,
aud appalling to the Vetoites. 1t Is as the
hand writing on the wall. 1t appears, from
the subjoiDed accounts, that. if our friends
