The special correspondent of the 0incin-

( Volney Dorsey, State Treasured, Of Ohio,
was arrested last evening, on a warrant Isl
sued by Governor Anderson. The Governor
also issued his proclamation declaring the
Office, vacated I The amount of bail re-
auired was six hundred thousand dollars,
which, was furnished by Dorsey. His Sc
curities are Messrs. Bartlett & Smith, Geo.
M. Parsons, Goodman, Kelley and Others,
all bankers, we believe. 1t is also stated
I that an appointment will be made to-day.
This prompt action on the part of Gov

IT is edifying to observe the sudden
ness with which the New York Ford
and all its echoes have silcnced the
clnmor which they begun little while
ugo against the exemption Of national
securities from State taxation. They
were just fairly launched upon II high
tide of obligatory declarations relative
10 "bondocmcies," state rights, &c,
when cruel tIunderbolt, bcaring the
form Oft legal opinion, from the pen Of
that eminen,ly conservative" jurist,
George +. Curtis, struck them instantly
dumb. To dispute an authority which
for the last four years they have been
putting with all the might Of their pc.
litical bellows machinery, as the au-
thority of authorities, above my appeal
III questions Of constitutional law, was
more than with ull their ctTrOntery
they could venture to undertake. So
they meckly subsidized at once, and
hastily dropped the new cpitlIet of
"Bondocrncy" which they had invent
cd, with secret malcdiction upon the
fate which thus cruelty destroyed so
pretty II catch phrase.
Happily, Mr.. Curtis was called upon
to consider the question of the ex-
emption Of national bonds from State
taxation as a lawyer, aud not us poll
tiCiail, and 1t was in his professional
capacity, us legal counsellor to the Me-
tropolItan Bank OF New York, that he
gave the opinion which so ellectunlly
qnclched noisy section of the State
Rights Repudintionists. Reviewing
tho Supreme Court decisions which
bear upon the point in question, he
concluded unhCsitntingly TINT the
bonds OF the national government can
not he taxed by the States, md TINT the
National nMnEing Associations whose
currency Is issued upon those securi-
ties cannot, on that account, bc taxed
as c6rporutionS, but that their shares of
capital stock may bU taxed, on the
technical ground that such taxation Is
not IL tux upon government bonds.

regret to lie Obliged TO state that tho
Cholera continues 10 extend Its rlvnges,
notwithstanding the efforts making by
the Government to arrest its progress.
Whatever may hc the opinion Ormcdical
men, II is evident that Il is propngated
by cOMtagiOn, MS II fixed itself IN the
locality where the first deaths from an
Egyptian mam-of-wHr took place, and
IlaS thence gradually extended itself
over the Christian quarter Of Perm, ind
through StnmhOul, (COnstnMtinOple
proprr.) In the most infected region.
JasSim rncIla, where II originally broke
0ut-a quarter inhabited chiefly by
wOrkmGn connected with the navy yard,
and situated IN u low valley, encOm-
passed by high hills, with imperfect
Ilrnimngc-it has been very filtHl, hnv-
ing attacked almost the entire pOpuln-
ton. Such have been lis rnvngcS there
that the Government has ordered nj
the large khnnS and buildings, orcuW-
cd by many persons together, to hc va
Gated, and has provided tents for them
OH the heights surrounding the city.
Had proper quarantine measures
been taken 1T first, the introduction Of
the Cholera from Egypt might have
been prevented. 1t seems to me, from
our experience here, that 1t will I've adj
vlsuhle In the United States To guard
against Il liy the most rigid quarantine
regulations. Otherwise, il II once en-
tiers the country, il will be very fatal,
in consequence Of the great drstltutiOn
prevailing in Virginia and other Of the
southern States, and Of the diseases
which always follow in the train Of
war,
The published number Or deaths per
day now IL about one hundred and six
ty, hut they are known 10 largely cx-
coed that number. The whole numher0f
deaths from the origin 0f the disease to
the prcscm thine is about two thousand.
4 great panic prevails among the
population, particularly thu Christian
portion Of it, and people ar" fleeing by
thousands III every direction from the
city. II iS hoped, however, that tile
sanitary measures adopted Ivy the Gov
ernmcnt, and pursued with great cnCr-
Nv, will have the effect sooner or later
to arrest the epidemic.

A WOMAN of BAntford, c. W., II few
days ago, OH lIer death.bed, confessed
that she haa poisoned several persons
including two Of hcr'own children. She
added that she felt m almost irresisti'
BILE mania to deprive Of life by poison
those with whom sho was on terms OF
friendship.
Another wretch of the opposite sox
has confessed to an equal degree OF
guilt. The correspondent Of the Chi
cago Republican writes from st. Louis:
Daniel AndreNs, late postmaster nj
Glencoe, in this county, who committed
suicide Il short time since, left II confess
sion acknowledging the C0mmlttAl Vi
several hOrrid deeds. He cOntrsseS
that lie murdered returned CHlifOr-
uiun, some eight or ten years ago, and
robbed tho body Of about $4,000, and
buried his victim ut his own expense,
without mourning suspicion, ana re-
ceivlng credit for his generosity. lie
also robbed the mails al various times;
was the means of killing two Of his
children, and meditated the murder OF
his wife.
These cNses, with those of the quin.
tuplc murderer in England, the female
poisoner, Mrs. Grinder, in Pittsburg,
and the South Dedhnm murderer, Mrs.
Marston, make u fearful chapter of
crime for the summer of 1865.
