The United States Consul stationed at
Paris under date of October 81, informs the
Department of State that there Is no longer
any doubt that the cholera has reached and
commenced its rayages in that city, but for
tunately as yet in very limited degree,
having apparently either lost its violence by
the long course it has already traversod, or
been modified and contracted by the changes
of temperature and weather, consequent on
the near and rapid approach of tho winter
season.
The Consul states that the Moniteur has
just published u report to the Emperor from
the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce and
Public Works, giving the conclusions gath
cred by medical commission sent to Egypt
to study the origin, causes and nature of the
cholera, showing that the present epidemic
was brought to Egypt by returned pilgrims
from Mecca and other holy cities of the Ma
hommedans. They state that Mecca, par
ticularly where more than 200, 900 pilgrims
of every age and sox, exhausted by the
fatigues and privations Of travel, and sub.
jected to the intense heats and pestilential
minsmas of the country, congregated at a
great religious festival during the summer,
and where the remains of more than one mil
lion Of oamels and sheep slain for sacrifice
were carelossly left to decomposition, was,
without doubt, one of the chief points where
the contagion was bred, and from whence it
was brought by the pilgrims on their return.
The Consul at Jerusalem sends information
to the Department of State, under date of
Sept. 25th, that the cholera, which has com
mitted such ravages oil over Syria and Pal.
estne since last July, has struck the city
with panic, and many Of the people have
abandoned their dwellings. He states that
the nominal population ofJerusalem is 2S, 900,
and more than half have fed. The Governor
of Jerusalem fed from his post of duty.
The Consul at Florence, under date Of 0c-
tober %, states that the Asiatio cholera has
greatly diminished in the infected districts
in the southern and eastern portions of the
Italian kingdom.
The Consul at Barcelona, under date Of
October rs, sends information to tho De-
partmont of State that the official list Of
deaths from cholera, from noon of the 18th
instant to the same hour Of the goth instant,
amounts to ffty-hve, and from common dis
eases and colics one hundred and sixty mine.

IL NORTH CAROLINA it appears that Mr..
Worm is elected Governor by very large
majority. 1t seems to bo admitted that his
record the last four years is less open to crit.
icism than that of his competitor, Gov. Hot
DEN, but his real strength came from the
report which he made as Provisional State
Treasurer, in which he took decided ground
in favor of assuming the rebel debt.
1t was this that gave him the nomination
just before the President threw his fifteen
inch shell into the convention-snd it was
this which so sndoared him to. the ruling
class of the Old North State that they gave
him all they had to give-.-their votes.

Death has stricken down during the pres.
ont week two men who have made their mark
in literary journalism. GEoRGE SPENCER
PHILLIPS, who has been known in this coun.
try under the assumed name of Ross DIX
for the last eighteen years, was an Eng lish.
man, and who has supported himself by con-
tributing to the columns of newspapers and
periodicals, died in Brooklyn on Tuesday and
was buried by the hand of charity. lie was
. clever writer, but erratic in his habits, and
died in extremely destitute circumstances.
He was buried by the hands of charity, after
having been taken care Of freely for some
time by his landlady, a poor widow.
JoHs Ross DIX first attracted attention in
this country as a writer by his pen.and.ink
sketches of eminent persOnages whom he had
met. lie wrote the life of JoHN b. GoUcH
soon after the latter became famous as a TEN.
perance lecturer, and for some timo con-
tributed to the columns of the press of Bos
ton. OF late he had been writing n series of
personal sketches for the New York Lt0dsr
onThursday morning last GEORGE ARNOLD
died at Strawberry Farms, N. j., at the age
Of thirty-one years His was one of the
bright spirits and genial minds that win the
love Of all who know them. His stories
poems, essays, reviews and witticisms, were
all written in felicitous style, and some Of
them were marked with much briIlancy. He
contributed TO the pages of VANITY Far, the
Leader, the Weekly Rcpiew, the SaturaoV
Pres, Ha,pey's Maga=inc, etc. His latest
poem, entitled September, appeared in
Harper'S and has been extensively copied, as
was also his poem Of The Pedagogue." His
"McArons" letters, written for Vanity Fir
and the Leadsr have afforded entertainment
TO hundreds Of thousands. A contemporary
writes of him in the New York TribMne:
lie did not attempt lofty imaginative
flights, but he wrote songs, Of which uerriGk
might have been proud; and rural poems, in
which nature could see her own face reflected;
andgenial, hearty utterances Ofthe sentiment
Of good fellowship; and delicate expressions
Of what is sOrrOwful in the wasted love Of
youth, and Of what is beautiful in the seren.
ity and faith OF age II is as a poet that no
will be remembered hereafter. But Just now
while he yet lies unbured, 1t is the thought
Of his winning personal characteristcs that
most will fill tho minds of those who knew
him. They have our deep sympathy. None
bOttor know than the writer Of these hurried
lines bow tender and true the heart was that
now Is at rest forever.
Mr.. ARNOLD was buried to-day at Red
Bank, New jersey.

Secretary Seward TO tho Governor OF
south Carolina.


The following is copy Of dispatch just
sent to Gov. PERRY:
To his EIncllencg b F. Perry, Provisional Coz.
trnOr NJ South GdrOLino:
Your letter of the 4th instant Is just now
received. While much has been done in
South Carolina that is conducive to peace
and restoration, the President still thinks
that it Is impossible to anticipate events. lie
expects. therefore, that you will continue to
exercise the duties heretofore devolved upon
you as Provisional Governor of South Caro-
lima, until you shall be relieved by his order
lie observes with regret that neither the
Convention nor the State Legislature has
pronounced debts and obligations contracted
in the name of the State for unconstitu ional
and even rebellious purposes to be void.
He equally regrets that the state seems to
decline the congressional amendment of the
Constitution of the United States abolishing
slavery. l telographed to you yesterday as
follows: 'The President directs me to write
to you that an early adoption of tho con-
gressional amendment of the Constitution Of
the United States abolishing slavery by the
South Carolina Legislature Is deemed pecu-
liarly important, and especially desirable
with reference to the general situation Of the
Union.n 500
have now only to say that the President $
opinions, before expressed, remain unc hanged.

The ONO SESATORsHIP.-A columbus cor
respondent of the Chicago Republican writes;
noticed u paragraph in the paper few
days since, that the contest between Senator
Sherman and Gen. Schenck in this State was
very close, and that Gen. Schencks friends
claimed small majority in the Legislature.
Well-iniormed friends Of Senator Sherman
deny, however, that the contest was at all
close, and claim a large majority Of the Le-
gislature as friendly to Mr.. Sherman's re-
election.
But it is hard to tell, where there is really
so little ground for choice az between these
gentlemen, what will be the result, particu.
larly as the election will very probably be
put OF till tho adjourned session, and both
gentlemen, holding important and respons.
ible positions, will have ample opportunity to
improve or ruin their prospects in the time
Intervening. And in this crisis they will be
tried too, as with fire.

THE RECORD OF CHIEF JUSTICE
CHASE.


The Washington correspondent Of the Dos.
ton Journal, who is generally very correct in
his statements, does us great injustice in
commenting upon our editorial in Thursday e
REPUBLICAN, entitled "The Trial Of JrrFER-
son DAVIS" whom he says:
"Ths friends Of Chief Justice CHAsR are aston. .
ished by this semi ofcial publication Of his con-
psrsdtfoHs," &c.
The italics are ours. Notwithstanding the
Chief Justice had long conversations with
President JOHNSON, on the subject of the pro.
posed trials for treason, We carefully and
purposely avoided the conversations, " and
passed at once to the official documents on
the subject. The friends of the Chief Jus.
tice therefore ought not to be astOnished at
our acts but at his.
