The CHOLERA AT TIE SoUTu.-The southern
papers contain frequent mention Of the appearance
of the cholera in various directions, and in some
places with extreme severity. In the village Of
Trinity, 80 miles from Natchez the fatality was so
great, that those who survived fed in terror Ieav-
ing the place depopulated. party of orty-eight
persons embarked at Memphis on an old "stock
boat and before they reached Natchez, on the
25th February, twelve of them died OF cholera. At
West Baton Rouge, La, there were cases of chol-
era OH the 25th February, but not very severe At
Montgomery, Ala, on the ID inst there was con-
siderable alarm, owing to the appearance Of the
cholera among slaves on the plantations near the
city Fifteen or twenty cases had occurred. No
thing IS said in the New Orleans papers about the
existence Of the cholera in that city.

Tho County Democratic Convent,


The proceedings Of this convention will lie
found in another column. So far as we have
learned, good feeling and harmony prevailed
The names presented to the electors, are, we
suppose generally known to them. So far as
we are acquainted with those nominated, they
are qualified for the duties Of the offices proposed
In the choice of officers like these, whose duties
are purely administrative or executive, quaIifcu-
ton for the particular place, should be the first
consideration and it is the duty OF any party
making nomination to see to it, that the nomi-
nces are in that respect unobjcctionabo and full
ly equal to their opponents. We hope then that
all good democrats, satisfied on this point, will
give their own ticket the preference.

D Senator Dodge has introduced a bill into
the Senate, which has passed to a second read
ing, providing for Constituting Wisconsin Sc
parate collection district, to be called the district
of Milwaukee, the port of Milwaukee to be the
port of entry, and Southport, Racine, Sheboygan,
and Green Bay, to be ports of delivery only. A
collector with salary of $3.50, and perquistes,
is to be appointed at Milwaukee, and sub-collec.

LATER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, March Goth p.

WASHINGTON, March 26th--7 p. m.
Mr. Preston King asked leave to offer res
oution to close debat. on the California bill
Speaker said it was ont of order.
The Telegraph gives Us L copy of a column,
from the Herald probably, being " scene in the
House " We condens3 it in us f3w words as
possible
Mr. Preston King rose to Il question Of pryil-
eye. He charged that tie Journal Of the 18th
had been mrnated by the Speaker directions.
Amidst considerable excitement, Mr.. Cobb left
the clair to Mr.. Winthrop, aid tock lis scat a
mong the members.
Mr.. King, being required to make his chafge
in writing did so, in the following terms: 81
charge that the 10, rial Of the l3th has been mu-
tated by erasing motion which made, and
inserting a motion witch did rot make"
Mr.. King explained that he made on that day
a melton to close debate on the California Till,
and the jurnal was made to read m sSa9e instead
OF bill.
He said that the subordinate Clerk told him
that it was done by the Speakers directions.
Objection was made that TO persons name
was mentioned in the charge. Several mem
bers declared that there was 10 intention of dodg-
ing the issue. On motion Of Mr. Holmes, the
matter was referred 10 a select committee of 9

THE WORLDS EXHIBITION.

From Our files of English papers received by
the last Steamer, we aic graf fed 10 learn that
preparations for the great VI orid's Exhibition ct
manufactures and mechanism. at London in
1881, are beng carried forward in the most vie-
oIous manner. We hope and trust that in that
Exhibition the skill and ingenuity of American
mechanics will be largely repro s nted but
whatever other cities and towns may GO, here or
elsewhere, we feel the utmost confidence that
Worcester mechanic vii! take the highest rrize
Our ingenious tcoW-toWnSman, Henry NJ.
Paine, will demonstrate to the entire saistac-
lion Of Uncle John, that u0thnr is impossible
with Jonathan that setting the Thames on fire
IS no chmera OF the brain, but an actual accom-
phshmcnt, which can be demonstrated to his en-
tire satisfaction, and that to- without the usa of
so much as pine shaving for kindng.
We were present few evenings since, at
private exhibition of the opersti ms OF Mr. Pane's
Ingenious machinery, for the dccompos ii IN of
water and the sepaIa.l' Of its component gass-
es, for the purposes OF light and fuel, and were
absolutely astounded at the results prodl c d.
by the decomposition OF Z quart or two of water
a supply OF gas was evolved which supplied gas
enough 10 light hall of the largest size for a
whole evening, and the whole agency required
in its production, was the winding Up of weight
by which the decomposing apparatus is set in
motion. The revoluti' rs and changes which
this wonderful discovery is destined to produce
in mechanic arts and sciences, it is impossible to
estimate But We hope ere long, to be able to
furnish a full description of the apparatus, and
tie scientific laws upon the action and existence
of which its construction is ba sed Meantime
we would advise our readers who may have in
vestmcnts in gas factories and whale ships, to
sell ont at the earliest opportunity for the time
IS coming when water will be the chief element
for all purposes Of combustion. When the

VI 4 row occurred in our streets on Tues
day last, occasloned by several drunken ndyid-
uals who issued into the street from one Of the
many groceries in our midst, Several Of the cl-
items who gathered round for the purpose of
preserving the peace, were assaulted and badly
bruised. The rowdies were arrested, and after
trial, couple of them were fined on two counts,
one hundred dollars in the aggregate, the other
forty-five. Served them right We hope may
have atondency to check the spirit of rowdyism
which has been rampant in our midst recently.

~ We see by the dongs Of the Democratic
Convention, at Salem, that l. n. Stoddard, ESD.
has been putin nomination for the Office of Coun-
ty Judge for Kenosha county. This election
cannot take place until some weeks after the ge-
neral election. We believe that Mr. Chaticld
who is tho present Judge of Racine CO., has not
yet determined upon removing to Racine We
are very confident however, that il he had ma
up his mind to remain in Kenosha, he would
have reccivco the nomination of the Democratic
Convention as unanimouslya as ne did that o tho
Mass Convention. If he shall conclude to re-
move to Racine, we have no doubt but that Mr.
StoLda7d will be elected to tho Office for which
he is nominated by an almost unanimous vote.
To those acquainted with Mr.. Stoidard's ia
Tents and qualifications, not word need be said ::
to those who have not the pleasure of his ac-
qnaintanco, we recommend the pcrusal of the
following notice, which we copy from the Perry
Democrat, June 8th, 1916: c.
"APpoINTmEST.-Floyd a. Haywood has been
appointed a Supreme Court Commissioner, in
place of |. n. Sloddard, removed to Wisconsin
This reminds us to say a word Of Mr.. Stod-
dard. He left this village few weeks ago with
n s amy, for the purpose of making new
homc,' in the west. We are pleased to hear that
he has settled at Southport. As a lawyer we
hear ii universally admitted that he had few if
any superiors in this part OF the country, and his
loss to this village where he has resided many
years, is acknowledged by all who knew and ap-
preciated him. 1t would be strange if man
possessed of his talents, popular advocate, con-
tnualy called before the public in support or
condemnation Of all the prominent measures that
agitate our day, should have made no enemies
but we venture to say thatif he has left any such
behind, they will be found in the ranks of the
jealous ephemera, having little worth themselves
and therefore incapable of approaching it in 9TH
ers. We sincerely wish Mr.. S. all success and
happiness"

" We call attention to the article in another
column from the Christian Citizen, relative to
Paine's discovery of simple process of produ-
cling light and heat by the decomposition of wa
ter This account is the most authentic one from
adisinterested source, that has yet come to hand,
and We think, puts the fact of the discovery be-
yond question. There is one point not yet ron
dered clear, and that is, whether the process is
cheap enough to bring it within the means of the
masses. The idea has always been held out that
it was, and we trust such may prove to be the
fact. If the discovery comes any where near in
character the expectations we are authorized to
indulge, from the accounts, with reference to it,
we look upon it, as by all odds, the most impor-
tant single discovery in the physical sciences,
ever made. AS will be perceived, i: will enter
into all the business relations of life, and tend to
facilitate and cheaper the production and trans
portation OF almost every thing. We know that
thus far in the history of the world, all great in
ventlons have tended rather to the oppression
than the benefit Of the Masses in consequence of
their being monoPolized by capital, and unless
this invention should prove to be so cheap as to
be either above or below the influence of capital
the result may be the same. We hope, howev-
err that such is the case, in which event, its effect
in almost immedately ameliorating the condition
of the race will be apparent.
