DEAR ENoUlRER: As it is some time since l
have written any thing for you, 1 avail myself OF
O. leisure moment to send you q short letter from
the city.
The communications published in the daily pa
pers from the City Register and Dispensary
Physicians, have set OF rest the exciting question
of the existence of Yellow Fever. Whatever iso-
lated cases may be supposed to have occurred
last week, we are now free from any indication
of its presence, and absent citizens are daily re-
turning from their travels, without any misgiv-
iugs or unpleasant consequences.
The Broken-bone fever is still prevailing. It
attacks all classes Unfortunately, but it is not
dangerous, unless through negligence or impru-
dence, it is allowed to run into Typhoid, which
disease was q week or two ago, very malignant
and fatal. I have seen very few persons who
have not felt O touch of the Broken. bone in som e
form, if only a slight indication Of some Of its
Rheumatic symptoms. Pains in the head and
back, and between the eyes and shoulders, are
as common and as pertinaciously ~of6cious, as
young candidates for the Legislature.
Apropos of Legislative candidates, the ap-
preaching October elections have forced out a
formidable amount of hidden talent, hitherto
wasting its sweetness in digni6ed retirement
We are entitled now to two additional represen
t~atives, and the number of a~spirants for the dis
~tinction, increases daily. Log-rolliug has COM
menced in good earnest, and the groups of would
be .politicians talking at the corners ofthe streets,
appear to be getting up to the boiling point, az
the thermometer goes down below summer heat.
Every candidate touches his beaver to you as
you pass enquiries after the health of each of
your household, and hopes you have not had the
broken bone fever

Dear Enquirer: Surprising that you and your
numerous readers would like to hear what is 60
ing on in Texas from one who is in the State, 1
have thought it not amiss, while engaged in CIV
ing the same information to others in different
parts of the country, to write to you, also, of
passing events in the "Lone-star" State. We are
in the midst of q servile war instigated by the
Devil, planned by hellish fends, and waged by
fanaticism and q false religion. 1t seems that
Texas has been chosen as the field for operat-
ions during the Presidential canvass; and that
the Kansas war is to be re-enacted on @ grander
scale, but for the same political purposes, that
a howl may be gotten up in the Republican camp
to advance L%incoln's election. These are the
conclusions forced upon our minds; and proven
almostb beyond a doubt by recent developments.
On the 9th July the town of Dallas was fired
and entirely consumed and on the same day,
about the same hour, several houses and stores
were burned in the country. Several suspicious
persons were arrested; and here was the en-
tering wedge that laid bare one of the deepest
most effective and hellish plots ever concocteo
by fends incarnate. We have not yet got hole
of any of the principal leaders but the comics
sions of the negroes strikingly corobborate each
other all over the State-revealing a plot TOT
horrible to contemplate, especially when VI
think how near, while we slept securely, the
time of universal murder and rapine was upor
Us.
The emisssries are in the shape of ~itineran
Methodist and Baptist preachers, colporteurs
book.agents, %peddlers, patent. rights vendors ant
humbuggers generally. These chaps have can
yassed the whole State, and enlisted in thei
cause q number of Northern mechanics, some o
whom have been here for years. In this wa.
they have gained access to many of the most in
telligent negroes, whom they decoyed into thei
plot, and to whom they gave the plan of opera
ton but the mass of negroes we're to be kept il
the dark till near the fatal day.
strychnine was distributed largely among tn
negroes, with instructions to poison the well
and springs, on Sunday the 9Th Augustine do.

tallized into a party again. The organization is
perhaps stronger in the Canadas and other Brit
ish Possessions in America-being farther from
the center of English power-than they are in
the old country.
Now, as the Prince of Wales advances on his
tour, it is natural for every party to make de-
monstrations in keeping with its character. The
Orangemen have erected, at different places,
arches decorated with the picture of King Will
liam, the names of the chief Orange battle fields,
and notices offensive to the young Prince {;
and the Prince declared at last that he would
not enter any town where such displays were
made. At Toronto, however, the excitement
has broken out afresh-the Orangemen having
erected a huge arch over the street where the
Prince would pass to church, and decorated it as
above. The Prince and the Duke of Newcastle,
his .guide and FRIEND" avoided the arch, taking
q roundabout way to the church; but the mob
crowded upon them at church, threatened to
drag them under the arch, and followed them
to the government house with shouts and yells'
and boots and curses.
1t is said that the prime intent of this royal
visit to America is to further o plan, which has
been on foot at least six years, to establish an
English Vice-royalty on this continent with the
Prince of Wales at its head, by grouping togeth-
er the Canadas, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
New Foundlaud, &c., under a common govern
ment with q new name common to them all. These
countries, it is said, wish a national name and a
national character, though they do not abate one
jot their devotion to the queen and the mother
country.

THE PRINCE OF WALES IN AMERICA

Notwithstanding the English queen has ex
pressed her qualification at the reception with
which her eldest son has been greeted and al
though his presence on this side the Atlantic has
nigh enough turned the heads of the people, both
of the United States and the British Possessions,
vet there is a class-the Irishmen scattered over
the continent, in the territory of both govern
ments-who have not been at all enthusiastic on
the subject. He is to them a kind of index-6n-
ger pointing to the wrongs and outrages which
the English government has committed against
the Emerald isle" Consequently, they refuse
to welcome the young Prince to America, lest it
should be construed into sanction of the wrongs
done to their forefathers. The portion of these
Irishmen more violent in their demonstration
than the rest, are the Orangemen.
These Orangemen are a society for upholding
Professionalism. In a few years they swelled to
the proportions and prestige of a great party
so that in 1886, it had to be crushed by the
reigning king. Yet, while the organization
crumbled to dust, the spirit which created it re
manned alive and active and has gradually crys

NEGRO-sUFFRAGE IN NEW YORK.

The negroes of New York have the privilege of
voting now, provided they possess property to
the amount of $3.50; but the freedom. shriekers
desire to place them on perfect equality in this
privilege with the white man. This is logical
consequence of Northern sentiment; but so re-
pulsive is it to their better sense and better feel
ing, that many are r~ecoiling from it in disgust
and dismay. The New York Herald has taken
up the cudgel against it and the Sunday Times,
abiding to its agitation in the next Legislature
of that State, calls it "the coming tribulation."
The Times makes the honest confession that the
negro is not regarded an equal socially that he
is lazy and worthless and that he cares go little
for his privilege of voting that he will not save
the small sum of $3.50 to enable him to exercise
it.
1t is a little curious how the Times slaves off
the main question of the negroes political infe
riority, and speaks of the change merely as an
unwarrantable extension of "the most dignifed
privilege of freedom " Already, that paper says,
many decent people stays away from the polls
for the sake of decency; and, if they had to ell
bow their way to the ballot-bo1 through q crowd
of impudent buck negroes, many more would re
main at home. But if Cuffy is born ''free and
equal" with the white man, he should not forfeit
this ''digni6ed privilege" simply because he is
black, or because he doesn't happen to own two
hundred and 6fty dollars. No! there is lurking
in the Northern mind, far beneath their shallow
philanthropy and ~fanatical agitation of the
slavery question, a deep, mate and ineradicable
conviction of the superiority of their own race.
And the wisest and best of them, when they con-
template the monstrons results of a social and
political admixture of the two races, on equal
terms, shudder at, indeed, o looming tribula-
ton"
