PHILADELPHIA.--There is no portion OF
the public press Of Philadclp phia that takes
ground against The banishmenl Of the traffic
in liquor. The Philadel phia Ledger says Of
Mayor Conrad's Inaugural:
"lf he succeeds in but this one reform,
the city will have reason 10 rejoice in his
election, for no more fruitful source of pub
lie disorder and private misery exists than
the streams which flow from The bar.room
and The grog-shops. These places are the
chief resorts of the idle, the thoughtess and
the dissolute upon the Sabbath, and the chief
sources of pecuniary gain 10 the tavern is
the money which is spent in them on Sun.
day, by those who can Ill afford 10 waste
their wages in that way. Ether they have
families which must suffer privalion from
such lndulgences, or they have parents and
friends TO grieve over The ruin OF every
manly hope in him whose Sunday devoions
are offered at that shrine. The closing OF
taverns on Sunday, will, therefore, be gen.
eral advantage TO the public. Besides, our
laws are equal in their operation, and there
should be no exemption in favor OF one bus
mess, and that the most to the injury Of The
public, ovy another. There is not as much
necessity for tavern being open on Sunday
as there is for bakers shop or a grocery.
both OF which are usually closed"

SUPPOSED TRACES OF ARRlsoN.-We learn
from gentleman just arrived from Chicago
that person answering in many respects
the description OF Arrison, was arrested in
that place on Monday night last, but from
some cause or olher not explained, he was
allowed to depart.
The person arrested had arrived on the
evening rain, when the cars we're lmmedi-
aiely boarded by the officers Of ,hu, city. He
was noticed to take hack instead of an
omnibus, as the rest Of the passengers did 10
drive TO the Rock Island Depot The off
Ger suspeciing him, called the driver and
jumped into the hack, making some excuse
for The intrusion; al tho Depot the suspected
person was informed tina, he must be
searched, which he gently submitted to, bu.
turning pale as death and acting very strange
ly. The train was waiting, and the officer
imagining that perhaps he had the wrong
man, allowed him 10 depart. +4'
On the following morning some officers
from Cincinnati arrived al Chicago, and q
further and more minute description OF AT.
rison being given, the officer who made the
arrest seemed to be satisfied that he had
hands on the right man.
Our police are now on his track, and if
he was The person, they will esure 10 cap

The CHoLERA.-From all wo can learn,
we are well convinced ,ha. the cholera is
about 10 visi, portions Of this country again,
this summer, as an epcdemic. Unmis.akabIe
evidences have been given OF The existence
Of cholera atmosphere in many places,
east, west, norih, and south. The deaths
have nowhere been so numerous as in for.
mer years; but the victims have generally
been Of what is called the beuer class. Most
Of the deaths which have occurred on tho
the river, for instance, have been among the
officers instead Of the crew, as formerly. In
the cities and towns, many prominent CHI.
IONS have been carried off, while there have
been comparatively few hospital casos. Al
Inst accounts. the disease was raging as an
epidemic in ST.. Louis--the deaths reaching
as high as eighty per day. While we advise
all 30 evoid any hing ike (ourr We think it
would be we'll 10 observe duo caution in diet
and habits.

The X enlucky Trust company.

The report that the Kentucky Trust Com.
pany Bank was in falling condition obtain.
ed currency in this place last week, and we
understand some sacrifices were made in
order to dispose Of iIs paper. We presume
the panic was based upon paragraph IN
the Cincinnati Gazetle oil Monday, TO the
effect that The railroads relused lis paper.-
The same paragraph. however, stated that
The notes Of The Trusl Company were still
taken by the Banks Of The city as usual
The Gazette Of Tuesday gave The following
however, which again restored confidence,
and shows there was no good ground for the
panic:
"We see II stated in the Gazette That the
Little Miami R. r. Co., had given instruc.
lions 10 the Conductors 10 refuse The notes
Of The Kentucky Trlst Company Bank
We learned to-day that this order was issued
some days ago on account of reports then
in circulation that the Bank had suspended
payment, but twas this morning Withdrawn,
and the paper Of that Bank is now taken The
same as other Bank notes. ~.
The rumors, 10 which we have referred
gained some currency, consequent upon the
stoppage Of Messick g. Co., and Watts &
Colburn. We are informed by gentlemen
thoroughly acquainted with the affairs of the
Bank, that the Institution is good and sol
vent beyond all question, and gaining ii
strength daily; also that within the las, sixty

MIAMI UNIvERsITY.--Dr w. c. Anderson
has resigned his position as President Of this
Institution, and the Trustees have elected
Prof. McGuffoy, now Of the Virginia Uni
versity, TO fill The vacancy thus occasioned.
DR.. Anderson demanded two things as the
condition on which he would remain: l..
That his salary be raised from fourteen to
eighteen hundred dollars per annum. 2.
That the salaries of other Professors be
raised in proporsion with his. The Trus-
tees would no, yield. DR.. A. was exceed.
ingly popular among the students, and a
large share Of the credit for the prosperity
ofihe Institution must be attributed TO him.
One reason, perhaps The chief one, for the
objection Of the trustees 10 the increase OF
the salaries Of the President and Professors,
was that although the college during the
