NEW books.

We are indebted to Messrs. Taylor s
Maury for a copy Of new and beautifully
printed duodecimo Of rs pages, entitled
/" Etiquette at Washington" of which they
are publishers The style Of the author is
easy and pure, and the information conveyed
is useful to all who desire to observe the re-
quirements Of good society.
Mr.. Disturnell, Of New York, has also
laid before us two excellent hand-books -
his "Map Of North America, showing the
Routes to California;" and his !" Railroad,
Steamboat, and Telegraph Guide Book. I"
The latter is a work worthy Of public conf
dence, for it contains nothing but what is
authentic. The map, showing the connect
ing lines of travel, is valuable adjunct -
This Guide" is corrected every two
months. We commend both these books to
the favor Of the public.

The Senate did not sit to-day, having yesterday
adjourned over until Monday.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Mr.. Fries, this morning. withdrew the resolution
which he offered yesterday, TO compel Daniel Walker
TO testify before the Select Committee appointed to
investigate the official conduct Of Mr.. Medill the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs II being under
stood that the refractory individual has consented 10
do so.
Mr.. GoggIn desired 10 take up the bill to enact
uniform rate Of postage five cents for the purpose
Of having amendments printed; bur objection was
made.
The House then proceeded to the consideration Of
the motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill
pay the representatives of Antonio Pecheco a thou
sand dollars, as payment for negro slave, brought
in with the Seminoles and sent to the west OF the
Mississippi by order Of General Jesup.
Mr. Collamer spoke against the bill, and denied
that General Jesup had the authority 10 send the
slave away.
Mr.. Meade supported the claim, and said that nc.
cessy induced the South to tell the North that the
discussion of slavery must stop with their own will
and Accord not that the South would attempt to
curtail the liberty Of speech, but that they will re-
quire il condition of further continuance in the
Union; or they mus, leave them.
Mr.. Dickey said that when such claims were
brought here gentlemen must expect them to be re-
jected
| Mr. Meade replied that the Union would be of no
advantage TO Southern men, If such principles were
acted on; and, having finished his speech
| Mr.. Hail. OF New York addressed the House
against the BILL and replied several gentlemen who
preceded him.
Mr.. Toombs obtained the floor, and then,

THE CHOLERA.

1t was rumored, yesterday, that person
died at Wilards Hotel of the Cholera.
On inquiry, it was found, that there was no
truth whatever in the rumor-there not
having been case Of sickness in that house
for the last three months
But though, i is not in town yet, we
know not how soon il win break out. The
duty of the city authorities is, instantly to
establish sanitory system, by which all
the streets, lanes, alleys and private premises
shall be forthwith thorough cleansed There
is no time to be lost Why does not the
Mayor take the lead in the matter, call the
Councils together and send them message,
recommending the immediate establishment
Of such system The public, to man,
will sustain and applaud him, if he will do
so. We repeat, there is no time to be lost,
and we call upon the Mayor to move in the
matter without delay. The weather Is
moderating, and we know not how soon the
enemy may be upon US. Let us be ready
for him, by removing the filth upon which
he feeds

INAUGURATION BALL.

The most extensive preparations are on
foot to make this Ball worthy Of the occa-
sion. A pavilion, one hundred and sixty
feet long, fifty feet broad and twenty feet
high to the square, is to be erected forthwith,
for the dancing room, on the open space
west Of the City Hall. The floor, which is
to be Of the best North Carolina pine, will
be as smooth as glass, and the ceiling and
walls will be lined with white cotton cloth.
The whole area will be without column to
obstruct the movements Of the company.
The gable Of the pavilion will be opposite
the large west door Of the City Hall, through
which the company will pass in entering the
Ball Room. The public Offices Of the city
authorities, on the second floor Of the west
wing Of the City Hall, are to be converted
into dressing rooms, for the occasion, and
the spacious Council Chamber on the same
floor win be used as the supper saloon. The
whole premises will be brilliantly lighted up
with camphine and thoroughly warmed with
spacious stoves. The entrance TO the dress
sing rooms will be through the large south
door Of the west wing Of the City Hall,
thence along the corridor Of the first floor to
the man star way that leads to the second
story The price Of tickets has been fixed
at ten dollars, and II there be any surplus,
after paying all expenses, it is to be divided
between the two orphan Asylums in the city.
