New Cure for ChoLera.

The foreign papers by the last steamer
state that DR.. Macrae, in the hospital al
Howard, has. according to the Indian News
discovered new and most successful mode
of treating cholera patients He causes them
to inhale certain quantity of oxygen gas
which contributes a Stimulating effect and fin
ally throws the patient into a refreshing sleep
On awaking he finds himself restored to
health, with the exception of general weak
ness which always succeeds any physical pros
tration DR. Macrae had tested his mode o.
practice upon fifteen European seamen, who
had been carried to the Howard Hospital in
the last stage of the disease, and the patient
has in every instance recovered.

Fremont TOwn COUNCIL.

Atthe corporation election last Spring, this
honorable body of officials were elected with
direct reference to cleaning and purifying our
town Of all filth and nuisanccs that would be
likely to aid the cholera. and other diseases,
lin their destruction of human life. In fact
their names were displayed on a piece of pa
per, headed aAnti-Cholera ticket, and the
nearly unanimous vote which they received
showed plainly what our citizens expected at
their hands. But so far, they have beea re-
miss in the performance of their duty--haye
failed entirely to do that which they were
elected to do, and have gone after strange
gods-doing that which no one expected o.
them. Now there are several cellars in town
as we are informed, that "ought to be atten-
ded to- considerable filth on some of the
streets that ought to be cleaned up, together
with other nuisances that want remedying
But the most important thing. and that which
will conduce most to the health of the place
to wit: limeing the streets, has nearly been
entirely neglected They should be lined
twice every week. VIII the town council see
to it
The cholera requests us to say that the
town couneilmay think the above article ra-
ther hard, but that if it comes here it will be
harder.

This Monday morning Gen. Loudon, q
Brown county, introduced preamble and re-
solutions to the effect, that when the Conven-
ton adjourn tomorrow, II viii adjourn to
meet 10 the city of Cincinnati on the first
Monday of ofDecember next Several attempts
were made to amend the same. Il was moF-
led to strike out Cincinnati and insert Colum-
bus. This failed-about twenty-four votes
being in his favor After much debate the
previous question was sasto5ned, and the vote
on the main resolution stood-for adjourn
ment -one against andjournment tioensy-
sai,te.
The convention then adjourned, 10 meet to-
morrow morning at Eve O'Clock
And so the constitutional convention stands
adjourned I'll the first Monday Of December
next, when il viii assemble 10 the city OF
Cincinnati
We have before expressed our wish that
the convention would finish the agork before
adjournment. We confess that affairs have
moved on much more slowly than we desired
sor expected.
Il has seemed to US that much time hiss
been uselessly spent. The Convention has
found itself in The commencement of the tenth
week of its session, with nothing definitely
settled, and with put part Of the reports con-
sidered in committee Of the whole. AS Gen.
Loudon very properly observed the convention
$50 far has done nothing; and, as he argued,
there was no probability, EVENT. they remain
ed in session during the whole summer that
the work would finished so that it could
be submitted to the people this fall
We presume this consideration influenced
many members to vote for adjournment
The apprehension Of tbe cholera, which now
prevails to some extent at Cincinnati, no doubt
prompted many members to vote forit

Mark thatl Ohio State Journal
Yes, mark thatl There is no difference d
opinion in Ohio on the subject Of the admission
|of the new States of California and New Mex
co, and the sooner the better. Gen. Cass has
greatly mistaken the feelings Of the great
Northwest in placing himself ii hostile atli-
tude to the action of the people of New Mexi-
co. and in aiding to load down California with
questions having no proper connexion with her
admission into the Union.
The following resolution was ullanipaossky
adopted by the Ohio Democratic State Con

the action of the people of California and New
Mexico, in the formation of Governments for

Law Reform-Latin Terms.

the Indication are favorable to very important
sand useful amendments. Provision will we
think, be made for codifying laws, and
Krendering them more simple The propriety

Fed, with considerable force on both sides We

Toledo Republican.
y Mr. Sawyer moved to amend the section,
hby striking out of the third and fourth lines,
the words quo warranto, mandamus, habeas
kcurpus, and procidendo"
He desired to have inserted in their places
the equivalent English words. He thought
they might with equal propriety insert in the
Constitution the same number of German
words. Certainly they would be understood
BY more persons. He said he understood
that quo warranto meant, BY what authority !?
Mapdamus was sort of compulsory process,
an English name to which be thought might
easily be found by the gentleman from Frank
lin. Quo warranto' is a sort of forcible writ,
bringing fellow out of jail, or

Il Mr. Sawyer Now, Mr. Chairman, you can
see in my ignorance strong reasoniifor putting
Rthis in English.
d Chairman The gentleman is out of order
AThe question before the committee has not
Kbeen stated.
Mr. Sawyer That l take to be the fault
Bofthe Chairman-not mine. Langhter.l
Mr. Sawyer proceeded: That last name
Mr. Nash. Procedendo!
Mr. Sawyer don't know what it means
Mr. Stanbery Itmeans ''go ahead"
Mr. Sawyer Then why didn't you put it SC
in the report2 Laughter.
Suppose !, on my return, were called upon
by some captious constituent, who could find
mo other objection to the new Constitution, tc
inquire the meaning of these words in foreign
language Issheuld Be obliged, with blushing
face, to acknowledge that did not know
Then why, says be, did you put in words that
you don't understand? Now what could
answer? Ifthese words were put in German
some of us could explain it. Now, am SER
ious about this. If these words were put il
a mere law of the Legislature, it might be
less Objectionable: bn! this law goes to the
people, to be read, understood, Judged of, and
voted on by them and it seems not in good
taste to put words in it that the people cannot
comprehend.
Mr. Reemelin in reply said:
The attempt to translate the Latin terms
proposed to be strikeu out, or the other words
of Latin derivation into pure English would
make it a most ridiculous compound of terms
which hardly human being at the present
day could understand. doubt even if il
could be done. / know that it is common
sentiment with many people to get clear Q!
latin terms, and such an idea strikes every
reasonable person viii come to the conclusion
that as the English language has done fol
ages past, SO we will do well to keep using
those terms which most briefly express our
IDEAS and which are short and comprehensive
n their meaning.
