The CHAUvIN CtAIM.-This mammoth land
claim, which was rejected by the Government
on the 9th of last September, A. H. Evans,
Esq, of St. Louis, Missouri, being then the
Attorney pressing it, has again been present
ed, Colonel Benton having undertaken its
management here. The assignee Of Madam
Chauvin, the widow Of an; original grantee,
claims, in this case, that her grant of some
thirteen hundred acres, about six miles from
St. Louis, is enormously located though, in
1882, when the survey was made, he is under
stood to have consented to the location given
him. He now asks, through Col. B.. as lately
through Mr.. Evans, that it shall be changed
to position Immediately on the outer or
fields lots adjacent to St. Louis, many of which
have long been claimed by others under old
Spanish grants. As the holder Of this claim
asks that its location may be changed, if ac
csded to, the value of the claim will be in
creased hundred fold. 1t is resisted on the
ground that the original location was correct.

THE CURRENT FEVER IN New ORLEANS.
The yellow fever now raging in New Or
leans was doubtless imported from Rio,
where it was brought over from the coast
of Africa in the cargo of slave ship
Itsgreater virulencc than usual, arises from
the fact that it has not yet undergone the
common climatic modification, which all
imported infectious diseases undergo
sooner or later. 1t will be remembered
that the cholera as it now manifests itself,
is very different complaint from that
scourge as it was first received by us from
Russia, almost direct.

TThe Baltimore Sun remarks that
:" is fact worthy of notice that the
supreme judicial tribunal of Mississippi,
which has just decided that the State is
bound to pay the Union Bank bonds, was
elected by thepeople; and is dependent upon
them for reelection. The people, a short
time since, had voted not to pay the bonds.
If this does not prove the independence,
firmness, and honesty of an elective
judiciary, let disappointed judges be ap-
pealed to make those qualities apparent.

U The Baltimore Sun and Patriot, in
noticing our paragraph about the yellow
fever in Philadelphia, say:
s'The Philadelphia papers make no
reference to this, but, on the contrary,
report the city in the enjoyment of I'M
usually good health"
The fact of the Philadelphia papers
making no allusion to the existence of the
yellow fever in their midst, is no proof
that our statement is incorrect. 1t is
we'll known that the Philadelphia papers,
as we'll as those of Baltimore, and other
cities, keep such things dark as long as
possible, for fear of creating a panic.
We learn further, from the gentleman
who gave US the information about the
yellow fever, who has since visited Phil
adelphia, that he knows of four recent
cases, each dying in less than three hours
with the black vomit.

The Union is again upon wing dissen-
sions in New York, doubling the accuracy
of the Albany Registers prediction that
the wing party of that State will coalesce
in the approaching fall election, and
quoting the New York Express to show
its impossibility. The same paper con-
tains an able and interesting Paris letter,
treating of European affairs generally.
The Intelligencer presents its readers
with London letter upon the CONNER
cial affairs of England, English current
literature, and general English news. The
writer devotes much of his labor to the
work of proving that free trade has in
deed been blessing to England, even
though it may not be wise measure for
other countries. The Intellige'lcer further
contains an interesting extract from the
proceedings of Parliament on the Eastern
question, Paris letter, &c.
The Republic discusses Georgia politics,
rejoicing over the probable condition Of
affairs there, which the editor conceives
to be indicative of an entire disintegration
of parties-a new shuttle, cut and deal all
around. We submit that our neighbor
is rasping his old friends awfully hard,
in indirectly calling them federalists, one
and all. It's cruel in him to be casting
slurs on " bank" protection" &C., now
that they are down in the world-very
cruel, indeed. The Republic also treats
us to an able and elaborate essay on Ca
madam or Colonial reciprocity, introducing
therein review Of the interesting report
of MIR. Andrews, our Consul at Halifax.
The Clipper discourses of celibacy in
the Roman Catholic Church, grayely re-
publishing report that one half of the
nuns die raving mad before they have
reached the age of twenty-five" The
same rule of nature, to hold good, would
send to their graves, raving mad, one
half the women of America who remain
single to the age of twenty-five.

more Patriot, compliments the President

mating Col. Joshua Eansant to be the
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Third District of Maryland. In this con-
nection, we take the liberty of adding,
that better nomination could not have
been made. Mr.. V. is a selfmade man,
in the prime of life, distinguished for ex-
cellent sense, true public spirit, modesty,
industry and thorough business habits.
He is fair type of the institutions and
character of our country; and, as such, if
elected, he cannot fail to prove very SER
viceable representative.
