They were persuaded. On the following morning. early,
they called, and were inforaed that the mother had
died, but the girls were getting better. Thy

TIE CHOLERA, COMPARED WITH THE YELLOW FEVER
MORTALITY.
In 1898. the yellow fever visited Philadelphia, when
the population abont $4,000; Of these H. 600 fled
from the city leaving but about SO 600 Inhabitants.
but Mr. Matthew Carey estimated the real number OF
deaths by that disease at 1000.
This Is much larger proportion OF deaths than has
taken place. at St. Louis Cincinnati by cholera.

The WATERING PLAcEs.-Great efforts have been
made to draw people to the fashionable watering
places; but they have not been, as yet, very sue
cesstul. But the places Of resort in the neigbor-
hood Of this city attract great many visters
The hotel at Long Island is quite crowded. At
West Point, where Mr.. Cozzens has his hotel, two
hundred and fifty visters sat down to dinner two
days ago and, almost every other day, that estab-
lishment is crowded beyond its capacity. Other
places In the immediate nifty of the city-Fort
Hamilton, the retreats the Jersey and Long
Island shores-are also D attended. Out West.
along the lines of trave The hotels are doing a
poor business, and can hardly make both ends
meet.
But the present panic will subside, and the
stream of travel and pleasure will flow in all the
usual directions. The cholera is decreasing here,
and, indeed, the visitation has been mercfully
mild Ia the fall, We have no doubt ample amends
will be made for the dulness and distress at the
watering places in the early part Of the season.

character of his position. The purity, patriotism,
integrity, and f-mncss Of the old hero at the
head of the government are just the same that
they ever were. But his administration is Sc
riousy assailed His success has been put In
jeopardy. From the causes to which we thus
alluded, public confidence begins to fater. With
the prospect now before US, one hope for
a majority IN Congress in favor Of the present
cabinet. That is quite certain. What is to be
done The hero of the field Of Buena Vista must

comprehend the real nature of his position He
is not party President, but he has been used
as If he were party President The only safety
for the President is, to relieve himself from the
embanassments and difficulties into which he
has been preclpltated, by men who have placed
him in a false position, and made him appear to
have violated his own frank, voluntary and So

He cannot be ignorant of the proper mode of free

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY

The failure to effect the "indispensabe re-
union OF the Democratic party of New York has,
OF course, embitered the factions and rendered
their future amalgamation more hopeless The
ifunkers considered themselves inSulted by the
proceedings OF the Convention of the other party
and adjourned sine die in great rage The State
elections will be permitted to go by default. And
yet, it is very obvious, that the partition between
them was too thin 10 have kept them apart if

views, were consulted. What possible difference
IN sentiment between Hunker and Barnburner
do the proceedings of the two Conventions dis
close Does not the Hunker declare he is unal-
terably determined to oppose the extension of
slavery-that he has no doubt of the constitution
al power OF Congress to legislate upon the subject
OF slavery in the terrtories-that he is WARMLY in
favor OF the Wilmot Proviso-and, in short. that
he is as good Free Soiler as Van Buren, him
sell, and differs from him and his friends only in
'h'nking mat the good of the great Democratic
party is not promoted by platform which must
necessarily lead to sectional organization. We
do not see what the South has 10 hone for from
the Hunkers more than from the Free Soers.-
AS to all that we of the South, rising above all
party considerations, think important, there is not
particle OF difference between the sentiments of
the two factions. We have indeed less TO dread
