The Streets and the ChoIera.

THERE seems to be very prevalent opinion
that the cholera, which made such terrible
ravages In various parts of Europe during
tie past year, will visit this country in the
course OF the coming summer. This impress
sion is not confined to the general mass Of
the people, who are too apt to be led away by
what may be, not extensively, called their
ignorant fears, but it is participated in by our
most eminent medical men, who build their
anticipations in respect to the matter on their
own experience of the nature and habits OF
the epidemic. 1t is we'll remembered that its
progress hitherto has been from the East
westward, and that its passage, though sus-
pended at certain points of its route, and for
shorter OF longer intervals, has never failed
in the end to run its own course.
1t is also notorious that the cholera is yet
not completely understood by the medical
profession in any part Of the world, notwith-
standing its repeated appearance and the vast
amount OF study and investigation which
have been bestowed upon it. Its operation,
moreover, is as rapid as it is mysterious, and
in the presence of its fearful fatality the
public mind is so seized with panic as almost
entirely to paralyze all rational efforts to
check its march
This fact should be particularly effective in
urging on every municipal government the
Importance Of making all necessary arrange
ments to either avert the pestilence altogether
or to mitigate its violence when it comes. An
ounce of prevention in such cases is worth
- orI
foresight expended now will be richly COM
pensated for hereafter.
The streets are in shocking con 1ition Of
flthiness, and if they are allowed to remain so
until the hot summer sun begins to putrefY the
ohal in our highways and byways, and to
evaporate the noisoms posons it contains, SO
that the whole air of the city will be filed
with it, we may certainly expect that the de-
structiveness of the cholera, when it arrives,
will be a hundred fold greater than it could
or would be, were it not given the aid of
the powerful auxiliary agencies which it has
everywhere found in foul localities overhung
with mephitic atmosphere
The late action of the City Councils autho-
rizing the Mayor to have the city cleaned by
contract is a step in the right direction, though
it is to be regretted that it was not taken
months ago. This delay Of the municipal
legislature, however, requires that the Mayor
shall act with all prudent expedition in the
granting OF the contracts, as several weeks
must necessarily elapse after that before the
contractors can get ready with carts, horses,
and men, to perform the work. There will,
no doubt, be much competition among those
VINO may desire to get the contracts, in the
hope OF being able to make considerable
profit out of them; but they should be
awarded to those only who can be trusted to
execute them efficiently and faithfully.

the slave means equality with the white man

races may be prevented bv securing 10 the negro

them among the nations OF the earth, under
international action--as declared the only lust
course to pursue by the late King Leopold, aG

Majesty.
The President has intimated the action of Con-
gress, without Southern representation, Is void.
The people must go further, and admit the action
OF Congress null and void during the civil war.

South erred-the South in seeking independence
outside of Congressional constitutional action,
and the North In seeking the freedom OF the

BOARDING HOUSE PRoCLAMATIoNs.--Mr
Colorado" JEwETT walks to and fro on the
earth like the Wandering jew" (from which
root his name might have been derived,)
pausing only at the caravanserais on the
desert oil life known as fashionable hotels.
From each station he issues a manifesto,
treating Of Empire, Cattle Diseases, Recon-
struction, and other cheerful topics. We
have one of these bulls dated at the fremont
House, another from the Astor, while third
comes from the Continental and the last from
the Burnett House. Like its predecessors, it
is slightly confused in its utterances, and
some narrow-minded people cannot see any
connection between the different parts of its
contents. This last effusion is more radical
than its predecessors, and we greatly fear
that the conservatives of our land are about to
lose a valuable member of the party. We
hope that Mr.. JEwETT win pause before he
acts. His influence is great; the utterances
of WYKoFF, JoANNEs, and other great diplo-
matists sink into insignifcance when COM
pared with his. We therefore counsel eau
ton. The Burnett Manifesto" which we
give below, is incendiary in its tone, and re-
fleets but little credit on Mr.. JEwETr's
heart -

A MILD WrSrER.-Old settlers in the
mines generally predict that thi, will be
. dry winter, and the prediction is based
upon their experience for many years in
this climate. We have now had " win
tiers In succession in which larger quanti-
ties Of rain and snow have fallen, and q
greater degree Of cold was felt than during
the average Of our winters. Experience
has proven that every third season or
fourth. in California, is . dry n and
therefore it 10 likely that this will be so.
The extraordinary wet winter Of lS6l-62
was followed by one Of unusual dryns,s,
and the next was also quite dry, and the
rainfall was below the average, while the
two succeeding onss have been more wet
and cold than the average. The severity
Of the winters since tina. Of the foods in
lssl-s2, has gradually increased until the
heavy rainfall Of last winter. Another
fac. observed BY old settlers is. that when
We have severe winters they show some
thing Of their character before the middle
Of November.

AMERICAN COLONIZATION OF LOWER
CALIroRsIA.-Ths Cincinnati Gazette Of
a recent date says:
The Constitution Of the Mexican Re-
public does not permit the alienation OF
any portion Of the territory belonging to
that Government. But an arrangement
has been entered into by Jose Maria Igle-
sia, Minister Of the Interior, and Mr.. Ja.
cob P. Leese, an American citizen repre-
ssnting the Lower California Colonization
Society, which may ultimately affect the
national boundaries. An abstract Of the
agreement, which 10 stated to have receiv-
ed the "express approval" Of the cons,itu.
tional President, Juarez, appears in the
Periodico Official, Of July 9th. published
at Chihuahua, though it was signed a.
long ago az March Both, 1864.
According to the terms specified, all the
land, Of the peninsula between the TWEEN
ty-seventh and thirty-6rst degrees Of lati-
tude, comprising about forty Thousand
square miles, are granted to the society,
with the conditions that one-fourth shall
be reserved for native Mexicans, the Pc
cuniary confederation named being $780,
900 in gold. To attract settlers, lands are
promised for the asking, and many PRIV
ileges extended. Should the society fail
to comply with the conditions. the con-
tract is void, but they shall still receive
fifty square leagues (2,3Oo,00O acres.)
How far the agreement has been executed
is not stated, but, according to the Alta
California, $4,000 have been actually
paid, and time has bsen granted for the
payment Of the remainder.
As the case now stands, none OF the
transactions have much validity or practi-
cal value, but they may become important
in a political point Of view, and give rise
to questions Of ordinary magnitude.

Tuesday, the 9th instant, two men, VIM.
Anderson alias Norwegian Bill, and
Richard Duval, alias Chapman Pirate.
were burned to cinders in the cabin Of one
Billy Walker, near Woods'de, San Mateo
county, Cal. Drunkenness, from the free
use Of 's~chnapps" was the probable cause
Of the Gre and Of their inability to escape.
When discovered, the bodies had mainly
been deveured by dogs-the lungs and
heart Of one Of the men having been re-
covered from q dog which had partially
dsvoursd them. The Coroner's jury,
after hearing all the evidence, rendered q
verdict that "the two men were burnt to
death in Billy Walkers cabin"

When Peggy's arms her dog imprison,

Oh, don't I wish that I were those2
l see his last a~ppendage drag,
And wish I had a tail to wag,
Why must I pine and long for that
A dog can ne'er appreciate
But | will never own to her
I'm jealous Of ar ugly cur.
All, Peggy, is it really true,
That you Just as others doa
You hug and pat that dog Of yourn,
Yet wish the while that he would turn
According to a better PLAN
Into a real good.looking man.
And, while I'm getting on so swimmin',
I'd like to know if you young women
Hug your dog, and hug again,
Just cause you amt got nary man
II so, you girls are sort o mellow
To hug a dog, when any fellow
Would gladly get down on his knees
Just for the tiniest little squeeze.
I'll bet q coon I'll not be missin'
When you are in the mind for kissin'.
So, Peggy, it 10 wrong to waste
Your huggin' on an ugly haste,
A man can hug you back, he's stronger
