THE CHOLERA.

We call attention to an article on our first
page, from the National lntelliseneer upon
the prevention aud cure Of Cholera. When
this disease was in Paris last year, the Empe-
ror Of the French appointed commission of
the most distinguished physicians, to superin-
tend all the hospitals, aud report upon the
nature Of the disease and its treatment, and
the best measures for its prevention. Among
other remedies which were found most bene-
Scial, great stress was laid upon the use of
acids, both vegetable and mineral, and lemon
Juice entered largely into the remedies pre-
scribed for the patients.
Our people arc deeply interested in this sub
ject; and considering that Information respect
ing this dreadful scourage is much needed at
this time, we have given space to this article
in the hope that its suggestions may be use
full and effcacious.

RECONSTRUCTION.

We published yesterday the report made
TO both Houses Of Congress by the Committee
on Reconstruction. The design seems to be
to shut out the South from representation for
four years, at least, or more probably for ten.
We reproduce the essential features of the
plan, condensed from the report;
First-No distinction on account of race or
color in civil rights. Second-Representatio
to be founded on population, excluding all
males above twenty.one years of age in States
where they are not allowed to vote Third
All persons who participated in the rebellion
to be disfranchised until after 1870, so far as
voting for federal officers is concerned. Fourth
Reputation of the insurgent debt Fifth
The power Of Congress to enforce these de-
mandy is declared
1t will be observed that these measures are
proposed in the form of amendments to the
Constitution and representation in Congress
cannot be regained by any Southern State
unless they are first ratified as condition
Congress to be the judge as to the acceptable
ty OF the members elect, in all cases.
One Of the bills reported, as part of this
plan-the whole ofwhich we regard as very
little calculated to lead to reconst,uction--is
sweeping in its character, and restricts the
right of holding Office under the Government
Of the United States; as well as the right o.
suffrage, within quite narrow limits. This
bill excludes forever from holding Office the
President and Vice-President of the late Con-
fsderacy; its agents in other countries head.
of departments of the United States, officers
OF our army and navy, and persons educated
at the military or naval academy, judges Of
United States courts, and members OF the
Thirty-Sixth Congress who gave aid or COM
fort to the late rebellion; also officers of the
Confederate army and navy above the grade.
of colonel and master; governors of any
OF the Confederate States; aud those who
treated captured United States officers, SOL
diers and sailors, otherwise than lawfully as
prisoners Of war.
-. We learn that this report reeeirsd the as
sent Of twelve out OF the fifteen members
who composed the committee, Mr.. Senator
johnson, Of Maryland, and Messrs Grider
and Rogers, Of the House, alone voting against
it. AL that is further necessary to say; at
present, is, that we hope, trust, and believe,
that no Southern State will ever. ratify it.
Let US wait, with patience, upon the in.
fuence, and trust t.. the wisdom Of the Presi-
dent Of the United States We cannot be-
ieve that he will ever give the sanction Of
his approval to this infamous scheme to keep
the South from representation for long years,
and meantime to treat her people as con-
quered enemies.

UNITED STATES AND AUSTRIA The Ma
tional Intelligencer publishes the advertise
ment of the Austrian Minister, offering his
furnished residence for sale or rent. This is
taken as an intimation that Count Wyden-
bruck contemplates being recalled at an early
period. He must be, if Mr.. Seward adheres
to his declarations to Mr.. Motley, for the
Austrian troops destined for service in Mexi-
co are surely coming over. 1t is said that
the recent decision of Attorney General
Speed, that arms may be sent across the Rio
Grande to the Juaists in Mexico, will be made
the subject OF an immediate diplomatic cor
rsspondence between the Marquis De Mon
tholon and Mr.. Seward.

CoTToS-The steady decline in cotton
both in this country and in Europe, indicates
very clearly that when the new crop comes
in, that important article will not range
above twenty-five cents per pound Indeed,
if the crop of the present year turns out as
well as some anticipate, we shall not be sur
prised to see it reach even lower figure.
The effect of this decline in cotton upon
the interests of the country will be very
great, for there is no production of the earth
except those articles that constitute the food
Of man, that enters so largely into his neces-
sites and comforts Its Consumption is uni
versal among the rich and the poor, and es-
pecially indispensable to the latter, the most
of whom are strangers to the silks, satins and
broadcloths which are common to the more
opulent. That cotton should reach low
figure, therefore, is of the first importance tc
the masses Of our people, who are little ableat
this time to indulge in the luxuries of high
prices for the common comforts and necessa.
ries of life. Previous to the war, it was only
eight or ten cents per pound, and everything
into which it entered as an element of manu-.
facture was cheap in proportion. Cotton
cannot be expected to reach these figures
again for several years, but after the next
year, it cannot be expected to exceed f fteer
cents -Lynchbvy Republican.
