THE CHOLERA.

There was perceptible diminutlon of the
cholera in the city yesterday, as Is shown in
the oilscia1 report this morning. An uu-
founded impression prevails more or less cx-
tcnsivcly that these reports are " "doctorcd"
before they are given to the newspapers,
and that there is an intentional couccalmcut
Of the truth. This is an entire mistake.
Such an attempt, If il were made, would
certainly fa'l, and would result In worse
panic than any publication of facts could
produce.
The existing state Of things is quite
solemn, and nothing can make it more SO cx-
ccpt popular terror. Probably our advice in
the premises will not 60 very far to al!ay ap-
prehcn>ions, but ne give 1t nevertheless. It
Is that every man and woman shall keep
good conscience, abstain from Intoxicating
drinks, avoid taking cold, cat moderately
and trust the remainder to Providence. Per
sons who have philosophy enough for this
will probably escape the cholera. Those
who get in panic. and give their entire at
tention 10 their bowels, will be much more
exposed 10 tlle disease.

THE nI:-E:AE:tTION or COLrAx.
The reelection Of Hon. Schuyler Co1tax by
The splendid majority Of 6, 1Gs In the face Of
desperate and nuscrnpnlous opposition Is
the crowning triumph of the Indiana clcc-
ucn. The Coppcriohusons felt very sure OF
reducing bis majority to few hundred, anu
many Of them calculated on his defeat and
the election Of Turpic. Four years ago he
had but 80 majority. Two years ago he had
1850 majority, which WIS chiefly due to the
votes Of the soldiers who were home on fur
Tough. The Cops. asserted that lie ncvcr
gould get so large majority again. Large
suns Of money were sent from Washington
and New York, anl llsburscd In the district,

Tarn!e. johnson took personal interest in
tllc, light, and desired the defeat Of Coliax,
very Intensely. All Of ILLS satraps and un-
dcrstrappers were set at tue work Of de:rac-
tion and colonization. The election laws Of
Indlana are exceedingly loose and susceptl-
bic Of fraudulent voting. and the Copper
johnsons did not scruplc to cheat and rspc-
lay on large scale. But they expended
their corruption fund In vain. Their money
failed to accomplish the end in view, The
noble and true Representatives. Is returned to
give counsel In Congress and preside over It's
delibcrations for two years longer. He has
reason to feel proud of the splendid vote hc
received In his own county. It shows also
that where Colfnx is best known he is most
popular. Dave Turpic and his hackers must
feel cheap nt the a,16S majority for Cultax.
