CHOLERA IN JACKSON, Mo.-The following we
extract from private letter to physician in
that city. Ii is dated June %:
DEAR SIR During the past two weeks the
cholera has been rigging most awfully in and
about this place. Up to this date forty nine
persons in town have fallen victims to ii, besides
between thirty and forty in the county. At least
one ixth of the town population is swept away.
1t now seems to be abating at least in town.
Three were buried this morning. About week
ago, when the disease became very fatal, our
citizens, with the exception of seven or eight
families, left in the greatest CONSERVATION, hur-
rying either TO Cape Girardeau or the country,
leaving corpses unbuTed and their nearest rela.
tons to die.
People living in the country, except two or
three, did not show themselves. Indeed it is
difficult to say how we should have passed
through this awful period had not assistance
reached us from Cape Girardeau. Many of our
most valuable citizens have died of it, Among
others, Dr. Davis and wife and DR.. Dennison.

PREVENTION AGAINST RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
The practice of placing looking glass before

way as to enable him to see the whole train be-.

universal on the continent of Europe. Many
roads in France have adopted the plan; the great

Brussels to Antwerp have been just fitted with
the necessary rehectors. Should car or any

The Anti Rssr AFFAIR.-Mr. Wait has re-
turned to his home, but he bears about his flesh
some of the slugs which he received from the
shot which 30 nearly cost him his life. We are
glad that the miscreants were saved from the
crime Of murder; but yet we cannot see that 1t
lessons the enormty of their conduct, or the re-
proach that should attach to the authorities In
defiance of whom such things are carried on
We are aware that il is extremely difficult to
reach the evil, when whole district is In sym.
pathy which incites to it. But this anti-rentism
has borne the character of an organized rebel
lion long enough for the Legislature to have
made some efficient provision for its suppression
That this has not been done, can be owing only
to the corrupt and dastardly spirit which leads
political demagogues to pander to the vilest and
meanest passions of men. Thus not only the
execution of the laws, the dispensaton of jus
tice, and the conservation Of the peace are con-
trolled by those who defy law. disregard justice,
and violently and murderously disturb the peace
but even legislation itself 10 made TO defer to
their influence. Anti.renters are of the SOW
ereign people, we can not deny. But Demo
crazy does not consist in making tyrants Of the
people, and has no right SO to do. 1.-THE ruling
power is to be of the character and spirit of
Nero, we prefer that it should be concentrated
in man rather than to be subject to the passions
and freaks of IN indefinite number Of Neros.
We are glad to learn that there is some pros
pect that the governor of New York will offer
reward of $1,000 for the detection of the guilty
parties We hope it will prove effectual. The
persons are sufficiently known. and could be
brought to justice undoubtedly but for the GRIM
inal Indifference of the local authorities and the
dread which their desperate character strikes
upon all those who live among them.

and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany

Implement makers and Mechanics orhe United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
