CHoLrRA.-The steaher Virginia. the YES

CHoLrRA.-The steat her Virginia, the ves-
sci which brought the cholera to our shores,
is still lying at the lower quarantine In New
York harbor. II is stated that within the
last four days no new cases have occurred
on board of this ship. During the passage
from Liverpool thirty-seven deaths oc-
Cured. A large proportion of the passen-
gers are Germans, and the mortality among
them has been much heavier than among
the Irish and English. The disease did not
make its appearance until the vessel was
eight days from Liverpool, and then in a
mild form. But It soon assumed malignant
type, and death followed death with fear
full rapidity. The breaking out of cholera
on the Virginia and, also, the, England in
the same latitude, seems to strengthen the
doctrine advanced by some physicians that
the choleraic influence extends in belts, and
that all ailments contracted in that locality
will assume the form of that disease.
We learn from persons recently in New
York, that great excitement and consterna-
ton prevails there in view of the threatened
epidemic. Families are seeking places TO
reside, during the summer months, in the
villages and country towns from fifty to one
hundred miles distant from the metropolis,
offering almost fabulous prices for rents or
boarding.
1t is generally believed, among medical
men, that we shall have the cholera in this
country, as an epidemic, during the APP
preaching summer, and whether it comes
or not, it will be wise to be in readiness to
meet its advent. The most vigorous sani-
tary measures should be adopted every
where. All should feel this precaution TO
be imperative. We are gratiiied to know
that our Board of Health is acting with the
utmost vigor and promptitude to secure
this end. Their commendable efforts should
be heartily seconded by our citizens. This
is the only way to avoid the ravages of the
dreaded scourge, or at least to mitigate its
virulence and malignancy. Let every one
''set his house in order" in time, and re-
member that there is not particle of time
| to spare.

Great Bank Robbery.

WHEELING April %.
About five o'clock Saturday morning six
burglars entered the residence ofthe Cashier
of the Harrison National Bank, of Cadiz,
Ohio, bucked and gagged the Cashier, and
compelled him and his wife 10 deliver up
the keys of the bank and safe. Proceeding
thence to the bank. they effected an en-
trance without much opposition, and robbed
the safe of 100000 in United States bonds,
and about $4,000 in deposits. Amer lock-
ing the watchman In the safe, they made
good their escape on hand car, cutting the
telegraph wires in two places. The robbers
abandoned the hand car at station near
Alexandria, on the Pittsburg. Columbus
and Cincinnati Railroad, and took TO the
woods. The surrounding country has been
aroused, and a large force is In pursuit.
$4,000 reward is offered for the arrest of
the robbers.

FIREs.-On Saturday afternoon last, the
Foundry building of Neff, Bennett & Co.
took fire in the roof, but the flames were ex-
tinguished with buckets before the steamers
arrived, although they were promptly on
the ground. The damage was trifling.
The stable belonging to Mr.. Kerfoot sit
uated on an alley in the rear of Jackson
street. was entirely consumed on Saturday
might. The steamers arrived in good time
to save the adjoining buildings. The prin-
cipal loss sustained was the destruction OF
the stable, which was not of much value.

PRoFANrrY.--We had the pleasure of be-
ing present at st. Joseph's Church during
divine service on yesterday. 1t has never
been our lot to listen to a more thrilling
exposition of the sin of profanity than was
delivered by the Rev. Father Young on that
occasion. He compared it to the 'roaring
tempest that sweeps from earth heavens
sweetest music, and leaves the heart and
soul of those guilty of it scared and
withered waste, where not glimpse OF
Gods eternal sunshine ever penetrates."
We will not attempt even synopsis OF
the earnest and eloquent appeal of the Rev.
Father against this sin of our age. We
wish Father Young could be induced to
deliver this sermon in some of the Public
Halls of our city, and that the aged and
the young might be there to listen.
We learn that it is the intention of Father
Young to establish society among the
youth of st. Joseph's congregation, whose
members are to be bound by solemn
pledge, to avoid profanity, as well as any
association with those who are addicted 10
its pernicious practice.

The reconstruction struggle
Radicals Jubilant : Two-thirds
Vote Can Not be Obtained-The
Propositions of the Resolutions.

AsHTNGTON. Aprll y.
The Committee on Reconstruction, after
hard struggle, to-day succeeded in agree
ing, by Il vote of twelve to three, upon
joint resolution to be reported to Congress,
providing for an amendment of the Consti-
tuition. The three negative votes were
those of the Democrats, Messrs. johnson,
Grider and Rogers. The radicals are jubi-
liant over the result, but 1t Is matter of
wonder what they have to exult over, since
their main proposition, demanding i'm
mediate and universal suffrage, was de-
feated.
1t is not believed that a two-thirds vote
can be had In Congress in favor of the res
olution in the form agreed upon by the
Committee. The resolution embraces the
following propositions:
l, No State shall make or enforce any
law, abridgiug privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States; nor shall any
State deprive any person of life, liberty or
property, without due process of law, nor
deny to any person within its jurisdiction
equallprotection of laws.
2. Representatives are apportioned ac-
cording to their respective numbers, count
ing the whole number Of persons in each
State, excluding Indians not taxed, but
wherever, on any State election, franchise
was denied to any portion of male citizens
not less than twcnty-one years of age or in
any way abridged, except Tor participation
In the rebellion or other crimes, the basis of
representation in such State shall be re-
duced in the proportion which the number
of such male citizens shall bear to the whole
number of male citizens not less than
twenty-one years.
3. Until the 4th of July 1870, all persons
who voluntarily adhered to the late insur-
rection, giving it aid and comfort, shall be
excluded from the right to vote for members
of Congress and electors, President aud
Vice-President.
4. Neither the United States nor any
State shall assume or pay any debt or obli-
CATION incurred in aid of the insurrection.
or any claim for compensation for loss of
involuntary service or labor.
5. Congress shall have power to enforce,
by appropriate legislation, provisions of
this article.
The committee will also report bill pro-
viding that whenever the above amend
ment shall become part of the Constitu--
ton, and any State lately In insurrection
shall have ratified the same, and shall have
modified its constitution and laws In con-
formity Herewith, Senators and Repre-
sentatives from such State, if found duly
elected and qualified may, after having
taken the required oath of office, be admit
| ted into Congress as such.
| In addition they will also report a bill
declaring ineligible to offices under the
Government of the United States the prin-
| cipal Confederate executive, legislative,
foreign and judicial officers, both general
and State, and others.

SOUTHEASTERN MARKET House. - The
formal opening of the Southeastern Mar
ket House took place on last Saturday eve
ming, and the affair was a complete success.
The market has seven butcher stalls on one
side, and seven vegetable stalls on the other,
all of which were rented some time ago at
a premium. Every stall was fully supplied
on Saturday night, by the butchers, gar
deners and hucksters, but such was the
crowd ofpeople in attendance, that the sup
ply was not nearly equal to the demand.
This fact goes to show that the new market
house is an institution greatly needed in
that populous portion of the city, and as it
is matter of such great utility and con-
venience, there can be no doubt that it will
be well sustained.
The regular market commenced this
morning, and was again well supplied and
well attended 1t will be continued here
after on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
mornings and Saturday evenings.
The new building is one hundred and ten
feet long, by forty feet wide in the clear, is
tastily constructed and conveniently ar
ranged. 1t is entirely paid for, and the
rents, after paying all current expenses,
will yield an income of seven per cent. oil
the investment.
The Board of Directors is composed OF
Joseph Hoole, President; N. L. Aull, Sec
retary; Philip Waltz, Treasurer; George
Gagel, w. N. Love and George Wuichett
to whose efficient management the people
are indebted for this desirable and much
needed improvement in that thriving por-
tion of the city.

THE MENAGERIE To-MoRRow.--Van Am
burgh q Co. will make their grand entree
into Dayton tomorrow morning, and with
all their superb travelling paraphernalia,
principal streets previous to proceeding to
the place selected for the exhibition, which
will be on Main street. near the wire
bridge. This will afford our citizens a
spectacle well worth seeing, and at the
same time enable them to gain from per-
sonal observation an idea of the magni-
tude of the establishment. The big tent
win be open to the public both afternoon
and evening, when visitors will have an
opportunity of seeing such a collection of
living wild beasts and rare and curious
birds as seldom presents ITSELF the enor-
nous cost of importing animals having of
late years driven nearly all the old me-
nagerie proprietors out of the business.
Indeed Van Amburgh & Co. are the only
firm who now pretend to keep up regu-
lar. legitimate menagerie, although there
are several small collections travelling with
circus companies. Their exhibition, the
present season, is pronounced, by those
who have seen It, superior in interest,
variety and magnitude to any thing they
have hitherto brought before the public,
while the number OF extremely rare species
comprised in the collection Is a feature
which has attracted general attention. A
variety ofpleaslng performances by highly
trained animals viii be given both after
noon and evening.

SUPERINTENDENT OF LITTLE MIAMI, Co
LUMBUs AND XENIA Rail RoAD.-Our rea-
ders will recollect that few weeks since it
was announced that Mr.. E. w. Woodward,
the indefatigable Superintendent of the
Little Miami Columbus and Xenia Rail
Road, had rendered and insisted upon the
acceptance of his resignation as General
Superintendent. The company, although
10th to comply with Mr.. Woodward's re-
quest, did so. and rendered the position to
Mr.. Alexander Lewis, of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Rail Road. This gentleman could
not be spared from the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Rail Road, and respectfully declined
the new position. The company again
pressingly urged Mr.. Woodward to con-
tinue in their employ and take furlough
for four or five months to recuperate his
health. The public will be pleased to learn
that Mr.. Woodward has consented to this
last proposition, and that during his alb
sence on recuperation trip until fall, the
duties of the Superintendency will devolve
on Mr.. S. Woodward in the office, and Mr..
%. S. Pease on the road. Both of these
gentlemen are well qualified for the posi-
ton, and having the universal respect and
confidence of the community, will perform
the duties with vigor and entire satisfac-
ton.
