For all this, presume, the cholera viii! take
up its abode in town whenever it suits rs coANe-
nieace. The best physicians consider that tie
appearance Of the disease IS only delayed By the
present spell Of cold weather Within ten dAy7
after steady heat begins, the cholera VIII break
out in spots all over the city, and, bT the 18th
of June, it will become epidemic. These pre-
dictions are net in accordance, however, with lie
opinions of the Herald which did its best FIRST to
create panic, and now argues that there VIII be
no cholera here this year.
The lame and impotcnt conclusion arrived at
5y the Congressional Reconstruction Committee
&as excited the general deriSiou Of the New York
press Oaly one paper-the Tribunc-supports
.eAesCommittees report and does it grnmblugv,
too, because it wanted negro suffrage. The
Times, the Seward Weed organ had a very strong
header on the subject, which completely Gcmol
Sshed the position Of the Committee. II was
even more vigorous in its denunciatcrs than the
Word aRi News. 1t is nov q settled fact that
the current of popular opinion has set in strongly
against Congress When 81 h extreme Radicics
as Secretary Stanton abandon Congress and go
over TO the President, it is sign that the oppo-
sitiou is breaking down. The effect Of public
opinion on the Radicals may be seen in their
abandonment Of the principle of negro suffrage
in the Reconstruction committee report There
are also signs Of late that both Sumner ana Thad.
Stevens are weak in the knees. If an election
<ould be held throughout the North to-day the
Presidents majority would be overwhelming.
AS to the opinion of Northern Journals upon the
report of the Reconstruction Committee the fol-
lowing from the Brooklyn E'g!e tone Of the
R5lest Of the Democratic organs) Will serve rs
sample:
eIhis amendment excludes nine-tenths OF the
Southern people from taking any part in tie
election of President for eight years. AS the
amendment proposed cannot be adopted without
the assent of several of the Southern S;atcS it is
not of course expected nor desired, tllatthc South
will agree to proposition diStranchi>ing her own
people, and uuder a Bill proposed to accompany
This amendment, none OF the States lately III re-
bellion can be admitted until they Go. Another
Bill dsfranchises all officers Of the detunct Con-
federacy and all who served in the rebel army
sbove the rank of Colonel, SC. Tie jG2cst race
tRGt acaS eper SHfered to crjSt earth 1so!G not
purchase cirI rights on these camdj!;onS Tie
South will not, ard the Radicals know it. Hence
the scheme involves permanent dis lHiGn, unless
o. the people iRterpoSe. The a7cwed declaration,
taat under no circumstances can the Southern
people vete until 1870 tOr members Of Congress,
or uuta 1872 for President o! the JnitcGStates,
is SO apowedly partisan that 1t is impossible to
say whether its ShauleiesSneSS or the aGdaciy CT
the men who make the proposition IS the more
astonishing. We trust the Radicals will pass
Gheir scheme through Congress. We want the
opinion Of the people upon it. We want TO hear
what the creditors Of the Government have got
to say. Come, gentlemen, give Us your ultima
tum, and if the people ale willing TO sustain you,
we will prepare ourselves for the rule of the
treacherous oligarchy they viii impose On them
selves and u.s.
On Monday night large audience Of roughs
assembled in the Broadway Theatre to witness
the first appearance of Adah Isaacs Nenken.
She made her debtt III her famous character Of
'Aazepna," which, according 70 Manager Wood,
has already netged her upwards OF t~9 hundred
thousand dollars. She cannot lay the slightest
claim TO the titc Of actress. Her voice IS thin
and unconditional, her gestures either awkward Or
extravasant, and size has not the least idea CT
She rules of elouQtion. Her attractiveneSS, Snch
as It is. is due solely 10 the beauty of her face
and form and these being her stock in trade,
she shows as mteh as possible As the Byronic
hero, Mss NeEk2a appeared in fc$h-coored
tights, with the smallest apology for n sash tied
about the hips. The exhibition was rather worse
than ''medel artistic" show.
. As before remarked, there was a large audi
encc present OF the class which admi.rs this Pc
culiar kind Of drama. Two or three females
were visible III the boxes and most OF the critics
of the daily papers, hexjcd by Winter, Of the
Tribune occupied seats near the stage. Rom
their editorial remarks the nextmorn:ng, should
Judge that they got too near, and were CORES
pondingy di<guS,ed. Ncnkeu'S engagement is
= for twenty nights Mr. Wood adErrtiSes that be
avs her ten thousand dollars and gives her a
, benefit besides Even at this rate he will make
money, for he can c0ant up n 0FeTE!oWlrg houses
every night What a commentary upon the taste
ard morals Of New York, e az th"usandS OF good
girls are permitted to St&rse for their rMoleS:ya
while this woRan has grown rica hy exposing
her pecson.
That pretcntious ard inflated sheet, The Ma
ton, :" has changed its issue from weekly TO
scmi-weekly. It las been sinking aGgTcat deal OF
or.chody's oney since it Was started, "!!d has
not vet attained either a commanding position
among political or. literary Journals. The ilcavi-
ness Of its leading articles is only relieved by tie
spice OF fanaticiSm which perv21eS them. 4 son
OF Garrison, the Abolition agitalor, is one Of the
principle editors. It is strange thH: literary men
in America have never been able TO produce
weekly journal 20 compare III ability and read
ablenesS 10 the London Saturday Review and
London Spectator. These are the standards 10
which they aspire, and the history Of, American
journalism is Strewcd With The wrecks OF the fail
ureS. StNIEK.
