New York and Philadelphia. In
Cincinnati it is rapidly increasing its
ravages In London during the week
ending July 23rd, there were 346 deaths
from this disease. 1t had created great
alarm. The mortality in London is
less than in Cincinnati during the last

representation Of the Southern States.
Thomas j, Turner, of Illinois, chair
man of the Central Republican Com
mittee of the State, has resigned his
position as chairman, because of his
