Report of the Committee qf Fipe upon Resolution Of
Mr.. Wild.
The deliberations Of your committee on the

CHOLERA AT THE WEsT.-At Nashville, on
the 18th, there were 81 interments, of which IA
were of cholera.
John B. Frentz, an old and esteemed citizen
of New Albany, Indiana, died Of the cholera
on "Wednesday. He was sick only few
hours.
There has been one case of cholera in Gin
ton county, Ohio, which terminated fatally.
Some eight or ten cases Of cholera are report
ed in different parts of Harrison county, Indiana,
about half of which proved fatal.
The health of Lexington, KY, where the cho-
lera appeared last season in its most malignant
type is reported to be excellent But one
death from cholera has occurred there this sea-
son.
The cholera has appeared in Clermont county,
Ohio, and three deaths occurred last week in the
little town of Bethel.
There have been a good many deaths from
cholera in Louisville, but the victims seem all to
have come from Drennon Springs. Drennon
must have had a tremendous throng Of visitors,
when the cholera broke out there
SLAVES IN CALIYoRNIA The Jo,sraui of Com
meree prints late letter from Sacramento City,
from which we clip the following:
"The bringing of slaves to this country is pro-
ductive of much trouble. Slave owners, in bring
ing their live property here, rely upon the fidelity
of their negroes or else upon dating threats,
as their main security. Some. of these negroes
are extremely faithful. / am acquainted with one
whose master has gone to the mines and left him
here at work. He had made money and is now
about to open a boarding tent. He told me that
he had been tempted, by heavy brides to leave hrs
master but, said he, .Massn has been good to
me, an bin guam good to massa. make all
money L can for UNI, ksse he tell me him make me
free niger when bin guam home A few days
since slave escaped from his master, and on
being arrested he resisted his captors and attempt
ed to stab his master with dirk. He was brought
before the authorities, tried and acquitted and the
decision has in. some quarters raised much dssas-
faction. i heard one slave owner remark that il
one of his negroes should run away he would
shoot him .whever he found him, If he was sure he
would be hung for, it the next moment. This
Slavery question seems to remain as troublesome
~ ever"

The NASHVILLE CONVENTION BODY
appears to haunt the waking dreams of politi-
clans and journalists most wonderfully. Before
it met, we could scarce open paper but the first
thing that met our eye was a denunciation of
the Nashville Convention. Every stump became
eloquent in defamation against its friends. The
Convention was variousy designated as Hart
ford Convention" Dsunion Convention
an assemblage Of traitors" and thousand other
disgraceful terms. Finally it was discovered
that the Convention would not meet at all--that
public sentiment, (being the carnations of am
bilious partizans and interested office-seekels)
had frowned it down; and it was even intimated
that the delegates must not assemble at Nash
vile! This is the estimate which political pet
tfoggers placed upon their slang against the
Nashville Convention. But the Convention did
meet. 1t was composed of experienced and
grave statesmen-they deliberated and acted
and they toere not driren out of Nashville.
The result of the Convention is known; has
been read by the people, and they will act in due
time. The scrub politicians, and unhedged edi-
tors however, continue to abuse and calumniate
the whole body. They discover "cat in the
meal tub" when there is no cat there. The love
Of pron,otion and profit have obscured their WIS.,
ion, and they descry mischief where there is
none. Now, gentlemen, if the Convention was
but a small matter why kick up such muss
Let it alone. Save your ink and paper and your
lungs. The friends of Southern rights intend
to hold as many conventions as they please, and
they despise the opposition of witless dema-
gogues and pointless editors. They are strug-
Cling for the accomplishment of great consti-
tutional principle, and they have left the word
fall off Of their banner. In the struggle for
the great and undeniable rights of the South,
under the Constitution, against the Northern free
solers, they cannot turn about to notice the
snarling of Southern submissionists. The Con-
vention has performed good service or we should
not hear it abused so much. Hold your horses,
gentlemen, no one is hurt-Mcmphis Inquirer.

privilege Of protecting the lives and property Of
the people that our troops had shown themselves
unable to protect. What state Of things must
exist when American citizens in their own coun-
try, are compelled to beg of Mexico protection
from national enemy There is no telling how
long these Indians would have held that country,
had not the citizens themselves turned out to hunt
them down. The merchant left his counter ; the
doctors and lawyers closed their offices !; and the

must here give faint description Of scene
that we behed while on their trail, although it is
one not at all uncommon with the Indian vet,
from the fact of my being acquainted with the
lovely being upon whom the outrage was commit
ted, It was imprinted so strongly upon my mem
DRY as will keep it from ever being effaced. Above
Brownsville the Indians had taken three female
prisoners, two Of them full grown women !; and
young girl who had not reached her fourteenth
year, whose innocent and virtuous soul, whose
bright, sweet, and and playful countenance made
happy all upon whom it deigned to cast a smile,
the father of that lovely and, but a short time
previous, happy being. Judge Of the horror, Of
the feelings Of that old man. Of the feelings of all
of our party, when, as we were brought to halt
by coming upon resting place of the Indians at
noon, we found many pieces of a dress, which the
father recognized at once as beng parts ofthe one
his daughter wore; and little further on Eve
found, by handfs, the dark silken that had
been torn by the roots from the lovely head that
they had but few hours before so gracefully
adorned Then, like lightning, flashed the awful
truth upon us, there we saw the green grass
trampIed and broken down, as if the struggle had
been one for virtue or death ; and there was still
visible the moccasin track OF FIVE or six Indians !;
which plainly showed that they had all participa-
ted in the outrage, and that it had required all too
succeed in their hellish acf and there, still upon
the grass, was the virgin blood OF that pure and
spotless being still looking fresh, as il the earth
refused to entomb or swallow it up within itself a
thing so pure, but left it TO rise to the heavens as

admission If the people on Tiger Island should
send us delegate, he would vote against him. II
John Ross or Peter Pitchlyer ask admission from
the Choctaws and Cherokees, he would vote
against them. II the hunters and trappers on the
Rocky Mountains should send their delegate here,
he would vote against him.
In all this proceeding he should govern himself
by no sectional feeling, but by the sternest princi
pies. Whenever delegates came here, as they had
come in the earlier and better days of the repub-
lie, from Ohio and Mississippi, from Alabama and
Indiana, from Arkansas and Michigan, and in
deed, from all the territories, he should vote to
admit them and ask no questions as to whether
they or their constituents were for or against
slavery.
He would not persue this subject. He had
risen simply to reply to remark of his friend
from Tennessee. He feared that the popular idea.
that government and representation should go
hand, when propagated by a gentleman, so dis
tinguished, as the honorable member from Ten
nessee, and coupled with the question in hand,
might mislead the public mind. He had, there
fore, felt bound to point out the clear distinction
between the case before us, and the one assumed
by the gentleman TO exist, mAA IA
He concluded repeating that, whenever dele
gates presented themselves from territories, formed
by the United Siates, and elected according to
law, he should vote for their admission. Beyond
this he would not go. sQ
Mr.. ROOT expressed qualification, because Mr.
WoopwARp had assumed the grounds held IN his

THE DEFALCATION,

The Washington correspondent of the Pha-
delphia North American states Gen. Wetmore's
case as follows:
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is.
The accounting officers have at length terminated the
investigation OF Mr. Wetmore's accounts upon the
vouchers presented by him. very few of whcf-perhaps
not morethan $500-have been disaIlowed. Allowing
him the advantage otthese credits, and some 1923 900
paid over to Mr. LIE Roy the present Navy Agent, and
there still appears his debit the sum of $l8I $50 49,
which regularly certified by the Comptroller and Au-
dol Upon these official abstracts treasury draft will
be Immediately issued Tor the apparent deficiency and
it is protested recourse will be had to the six
teenth section ofthe Sub Treasury Act, which applies
to disbursing agents who are in default.
Informal overtures have been made by distinguished
politician OF New York. to pay over portion OF this
balance, and TO retain $40 600 claimed for COM
MISSIONS, subject to legal adjudication. OF course no
such illegal proposition could be entertained in any
event, and more especially, when announced not
to be warranted by authority from Mr. Wemore. The
act creating the office of Navy Agent and the law Of
1912 expressly forbid any extra compensation such as
that now set up and it will be readily perceived that
office holding would be about the best business gen.
tleman could follow, if in addition to $4,000 perannum
he might be allowed at the end of four years to trump up
commissions for 900 more. Who would not be q
Navy Agent on such terms!
