the subject of cholera abroad through Con-
! suls. The latest dispatches show that the
epidemic is disappearing from Palermo,
| where it has been more violent than
at any other place on the Mediterranean.
| The disease is evidently now going inland
and spreading over the Peninsula. 1t has
crossed the frontier of Spain and passed by
/ Portugal.
The cholera has completely ceased at Con
staBtinople. Also at Galatz and other parts
of the united principalities of Maldayia

! ~ DUTY on HOPS.
Some American citizens recently called
1 the attention of the French government to
I the fact that hops exported to France were
Fsubiect to higher duties from America than
from any European country, and asked for
| a modification of the tariff. The French
1 government said the tariff could only be
/ changed by a revision of the commercial re-
| lations of the two countries and expressed
its willingness to make any such change.
| At the same time it voluntarily reduced the
/ high tariff on new whale bones. This
discrimination is only explainable on the
ground that whale e-bOne is in greater de-
mand than hops.

WHAT THE POST SAYS.
, New YoRK, November 16.-The London
Post, of the LIST inst, says the American
Government first created their opponent
beIligerents by proclsiming the blockade
and that Mr.. Seward first made use of tn
term neutral" in official dispatches.
declares the American demand for compen
sation is not near as well founded as that o
Spain and Portugal in 1918, and closes b.
saving that Mr.. johnson can scarcely dem
the appropriateness of the precedent ere
ated by one of his own predecessors, an,
we may, therefore, reasonably expect tina
the course resolved upon by the Govern
ment at Washington will be one which
without compromising the natiQpsl dignit,
and honor, will amount to frank with
drawal of the demands which could no
equitably be sustained.
LoNDoNSEws. --..
The London Times of the Sd says that
Mr. Seward now wishes to say that the revi
val of the Great Republic after its gigantic
struggle which reflects such lustre on repub
lican institutions, that all other institution
on the American continent will promptly b.

should be left to stand alone drawing its sup
port from the recognition and gratitude 0
the people.
