he neahR ur ned

Dates from New Orleans to the 18th inst, state
that the fever continues to rage frightfuly, and
owing to the unfavorabIe weather, is rather on the
increase than otherwise. 1t has become a
matter of difficulty to find workmen to dig the graves
and 1875 bodies haze been burned is areek for sant of
places of interment-This distress exceeds any thing
before Witnessed and the affrghted inhabitants are
fl ying to escape tie devouring pestilence Business
is almost entirely stagnated, and many merchants
have closed their stores The number of deaths for
the last 48 hours were AS, of which 1913 persisted
from fever The total for the week up 1882,
of which 1861 were from the fever.
The Howard Association during the last four
weeks have ministered to the wants of 5000 unfor-
Inmates, and they expect soon to have under their
care 900, at cost of $40 each. They earnestly
appeal to the citizens of the North and the friends
of humanity every where, for aid.

a cent settled on himself, but the young coore,

OUR POST OFFICE.

We are gratifed in being able to state thai
the administration of the Dubuque Distributing
Post office has undergone great improvement,
of late land we are led to hope tina I complaints
for the future will become unnecessary. We
are as much opposed 10 a frequent change OF
Post-masters as Of Judges and think the coun-
try would be better served if rotation in this de-
partment was very considerably cutaed.-
The difficulties which we have experienced
were nothing more than expected they are
unavoidable SO long we, the people, suffer
Post-mas,ers to be appointed instead Of elected,
and encourage such frequent changes. We
have no enmty, whatever against Mr.. Corke-
ry all we wish is an efficient management OF
the business entrusted TO him, and we shall be
as ready to defend him, if we think he merits
defense, as to denounce his management if it
should prove inefficient We hope for the best,
however, in this matter, satisfied that there has
been very evident improvement. Our readers
will remember that the Dubuque p. .. is not
the only one that has changed hands aud we
have good evidence TO lead us to suppose vthat
the faults and mistakes that occur for 100 miles
around are not all attributable to Mr. Corkery
and his clerks. We believe the great majority
of the failures and irregularities are now due TO
the country Post masters, and not to the Dubu-
que office. The evil lies deeper than is gener-
ally supposed, and must be laid to the charge
Of the system, or rather want If system, in the
general manageme Mt ofthe F. .. Department.
A letter is mailed from Davenport to Dubu-
que, another from Rock Island, another from
Leclar, another from Muscatine, &c, and at
every little insignificant county post office that
the mail bag passes through on It's way to Du
buqu-, it is emptied out on the floor, with doz-
en- persons standing around, assorted (save the
mark) in great hurry, the papers, letters, and
packages bundled in again, and the whole pitch
ed back again into one oil those curious rattle
straps yclept Frnk e. Cos stages.
So long as this course is pursued letters must
and will be miscarried. All letters from ST.
Louis, Chicago, Galena, Davenport, &c, should
be put into department by themselves, and
acrcr opened until they arrived at our post office,
and if this was done, our word for it, we should
hear less of mail Irregularities than we do. This
IS subject which we think demands revolu
ton and renovation, and we earnestly COM
mend it to the deliberate consideration our read

WIrn JAPAN A California paper has the fol-
lowing
"a business transaction took place few days
since that is likely to be productive OF important
results in the history of the commercial world.
A purchase of one hundred thousand pounds Of
rice was made by one Of our most respectable
Chinese merchants, VIII .ch it is proposed to ship
to Japan on board The ship Hamilton, which IS
now under Chinese colors, having been pur-
chased from her American owners by two veal
thy Chinese merchants. The Chinese have
long been on trading terms with the japanese,
and their vessels are allowed to enter their ports
and trade. The undertaking is novel one,
and, in the event of its succeeding, il would not
require the foresight Of a prophet to predict a
very sudden increase in the mercantile marine
of China, whc h would soon be able TO show as
handsome a fleet of clippers as any nation in the
world 1t would not be strange were IT to hap
pen that the opening the ports of Japan should
be brought about by the Chinese who have set
tied in California Indeed, we are strongly in
clined 10 the belief that slch will be the case,
and that the world will yet have to acknowledge
themselves indebted to California for it all =
The powerful changes going on throughout the
world-the result of the gold discoveries-are
every day becoming more and more apparent,
and it would not be presumptiva to suppose
that the ports of Japan would be as free to The
world before three years as are those OF China

LONDON, Saturday, July 80, 1888.
The rebels captured Annoy on the 10Th OF
May, after severe fight. They are most friend
ly to foreigners, and protected the factories and
British Consulate.
They profess desire TO trade in all articles
except opium.
ANY decisive success on the part Of the rebels
in the North would apparently cause gradual
raise, and lead TO convulsion of the Empire. -
An attempt to retake Annoy had failed.
Canton was quiet. Trade going on as usual
Teas were coming down from the interior
Business transactions were, however, but small.
Goods of all kinds were cheap. Freights were
expected to be high for first teas.
AT Shanghai, business was trfling. Teas
were expected to rule high.

argument. Bail was set at 81 900.

had been received from the Government Com

the Exploration had been partly completed, and
would probably be finished soon-and as their
return is daily expected, the motion for con-

TUE LATE stDUEL" FARCE in BosToN-
Captain Bernard S. Treanor and Pat.ck O.
Donahoe appeared at the police court yesterday
to answer to the charges-ihe former of sending
and the latter of accepting challenge. From
the testimony of William F. A. Kelly, it ap.
peared that O'Donahoe received a letter, o,
rather challenge, requesting him to meet Cap
tain Treanor the next morning in New Hamp
shire, but tina, the letter was signed by MAJOR
Mulcahey for Capt. B. s. Treanor. The wit
ness could not say that O'Donahoe accepted
the challenge, and it did not appear that Capt
Treanor ever authorised Major Mulcahey L
write the letter. The Court was of opinion tina
the case was not made out, and therefore order
