The APPROACH OF THE AsIATIC CHOLERA
Our foreign advces have, of late admonished
US of the progress of the Asiatc cholera thro'
Europe, and its speedy, inevitable invasion Of
the shores Of America. The New York Cour
Ter and Enquirer speaks Of the danger that
awaits this country in strong terms. The ene-
my that has twice visited US, coming each time
from distant home by the same route, is again
on its way at rapid rate of progress, and has
already accomplished two thirds of its Journey.
The Cholera again started last year from Asia
and it has since been advancing westward, ex
tending over large portion of Russia, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and Northern Germany, ,il
now it has reached England, first making its ap-
pearance In the near neighborhood of Newcas-
tie, and in Southwark, London, the former of
which was the very town it first invaded in 1881,
and the latter the very spot where it burst out
in 1913. Now, as then, quarantine has had no
effect upon its progress. 1t has been indepen.
dent of all material conveyance, and has need
ed no barrier. 1t has travelled through the mir
unseen and unchecked The epidemic is of n
more vrulent type than ever, and deaths are in
most cases very rapid. In Newcastle, which
has population Of only about eighty thousand.
the deaths were on the last day Of which we
have accounts one hundred day. In 1881, the
victims the first fifteen days. was sixty one m
lS4l, not half so many; now two hundred and
fourteen. In the little city of Christiana. in
Sweden, eight hundred have been already swept.
away, in the north of Europe. Generally the.
disease it is said, is at least fully as fatal MS ever
before. No encouragement is to be taken from
the fact that cold weather, which is usually
thought checks its ravages, Is fast approaching.
The first appearance of the pestiIence, in Is4i,
was as late rs October; in l84s about the samo
period and now at the last Of August. The.
winter did not then arrest it, but only abated its
violence; at the return OF warm weather it
again ragged with full force. In 1881 il took
about eight months to traverse the Atlantic in
lS4S, 1t came in less than four months: how
speedily it may come now, no man can affirm

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES
GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN:
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 26, 1858.
Eyfrn Session.


The discussion under this head, which has
been so general for few weeks past, is still
continued by portion of the press. From all
we can gather, however, the friends of the meas
ure are fast losing ground, and we have no Sc
rious apprehension that they will receive any
favor at the hands of the executive.
There are, doubtless, some deficiencies in our
existing laws that form proper subjects for leg
islative action. But that there are any such rs
would Justify the Governor in exercising pow
err that can be consttutionally used only on extra
ordinary occasions is far from being our belief
Many of those in favor of an extra session call
for the passage of a general railroad law and
others for a general banking law.
These, and law for the more effectual
management and disposition of the swamp
lands, together with acts amending certain char
tiers and some Of the general laws, makes a
full list we believe of tho objects that have
been presented in this case for the Governors
consideration. The immediate adoption of the
more important Of these measures, is TO wide
extent, regarded as Of questionable expediency,
and whatever might be the action of an extra
should any result, would be more than counter
balanced in the establishment of an evil prece-
dent leading not only to enormous expenditures,
but also to the hurtful effects resulting from a
system of too frequent legislation The new con-
stitution provides, and wisely we think, for ben-
NAL sessions. AT all events let this provision be
tested fairly From it let there be no depar-
ture until called for by some public necessity
of an urgency great enough to be generally rec
ognized.

50 Further intelligence from Europe is
now awaited with the most intense interest
That already received though conflicting in some
particulars, is of thoroughly warlike character
The report that war had been declared on the
part of Turkey seems to have been contradic-
ted on the arrival Of the Asia. Yet there was
strong probability that such an event would
soon take place, and that hostilites would short
ly occur between the Russian army and the
forces of the Sultan. Beyond this all is left in
uncertainty. What would be the position as
sumed by England and France in relation to the
matter, and what mighty consequences would
be likely to result therefrom, are now only sub
jects for the most unsatisfactory conjecture.

Speech OF Mr.. Howard ON Mock Auctions.
There was an important omission in our telegaphic
report of Mr. Towards speech on mock auctions.
We therefore give that part OF that days debate
an act of justice to that gentleman
Mr.. HOWARD moved that the Committee on Com
merce and Navigation be instructed to report forth
with to this body the bill introduced by him to ex-
terminate mock auctioneers in the city Of New York
Mr.. Howard said that the mock auctioneers of the
city OF New York, and their friends had undertaken
to intimdate him, in relation to this BILL by threats
II he persisted in advocating its passage and they
had threatened to whip him in the public streets of
New York-a proceeding that he did not believe thew
could execute. He wanted them to understand that
when necessity required it he was a fighting man
himself and did not for their threats nor fear
their attacks He believed the chairman of the
Committee on Commerce and Navigation, (Mr. d. b.
Taylor had not the courage to report the bill. If
so, let the bill be sent to select committee, and
will report it, ana not afraid to do my duty how
ever II may be with my colleague.
Mr.. d. b. TAYLOR said that the committee had
had the bill under consideration, and found it to be
so awkwardy drawn that it could not be reported as
it Stood This matter should be sent to the Judiciary
Committee.
Mr.. HOWARD hope, Mr.. Speaker, my colleague
will be compelled to report either for or against the
drawn by the District Attorney of the city of New
York, Mr. Blunt Is there man in this house can
draw more correct bill than Mr.. Blunt? / do not
believe there is. Can you addressing Mr.. IT,
draw bill better than he can? intend to close
every mock auction shop in New York and hope
the resolution may pass. And the resolution did
pass.
