reported to this government that onIy one
medical practitioner had died of Cholera
in England, although at a moderate COM
putatiOn LOCO or more had been in con-
slant attendance on Cholera patients.
And, according to The Medieinie Cairuro-
zeal Reriel1, for April, 1882, not a single
medical man was affected by the cholera
IN Sunderland, Newcastle, or Gateshead.
When the Cholera prevailed in its most
virulezt form among the armed vessels

ny's fleet in the waters of Tennasserine

inhaled their e~tluvia, and mingled his
breath With theirs-with the impunity he
expected. So likewise did his assistants.
No precautions were taken against con-
tagiOn, because contagion was never
thought Of among men who annually re-
newed their acquaintance with Cholera.
We believe that physicians and nurses
are, catsris DaTibRs, less liable TO the dis
ease than other classes of persons. because
by constitution as well as habit, perhaps,
they are less liable TO that sort of anxiety
and alarm-because in the midst of the
disease their minds are actively and whole
somly employed-and because they are
continually impressed with the Importance
ofhygienic care, and necessarily Injured to
the practice of It.

s@p We can assure all concerned
that we have no particular anxiety to

Railroad Companies at issue,

Quite spirited contest is now going
on in the Supreme Court of this State
between the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the companies parties
to an agreement for extending the At
lantie and Great Western through this
State, SO as to make a new through
line from the west to Philadelphia and
New York. This route would pass
over the Philadelphia and Reading,
East Pennsylvania and Catawissa
roads, and thence pass through Union
and Centre counties westward. 1t
would take some reading to arrive at
the merits Of the points at issue, save
that it is warfare for rail supremacy
or competition; as the lawyers on both
sides make the case so clear that il is
and is not blow at Philadelphia, as
almost by necessity to leave the impair
tial reader on the fence.

a candidate for Governor, on March

Negro Insurrections.

Since it has been demonstrated by
the Government that negroes will
tight, the people of the South seem
considerably agitated on the subject
ofnegro instructions. Ifthere should
be an uprising of the Southern blacks,
it will be because they have been either
tempted, melted, or driven to it by the
whites themselves While there is
scarcely anything said about the mat
ter in the North, the Southern people
and Southern press are constantly agi-
tating it, and in their discussions ofthe
question suggest to the negroes motives
which they would otherwise have never
thought of, besides creating the false
impression that there is party at the
North ready to CO operate with them.
1t is said that an ostler was once asked
by priest at confessional whether he
had ever CREASED the teeth Of horses
to prevent their eating the allowance
OF oats. He replied in the negative.
On subsequent occasion, however, he
acknowledged that he had done so,
stating that he did not know that
greasing horses teeth would produce
that result until the priest informed
him. In like manner, it may we'll be
doubted whether the colOred people
would ever have thought of an insur-
rection if the whites had not so persis-
tently kept the idea before them
1t is the opinion Of many Northern
men now in the South that there is
deep plot, tacitly formed perhaps, to
bring on an insurrection of the blacks,
in order to furnish pretext for mas
sacreing them, and obnoxious North
ern whites with them. After the hor-
rors perpetrated at Andersonville,and
Fort Pillow, we are prepared to give
credence to such report. 1t seems
confirmed by the fact that, in their in
tercourse with the colored people,
Northern men generally, and even Off
GERS of the Government, are followed
by spies and informers, in search, prob
ably, of some plausible pretext to be
used against them in case Of an out
break. In one instance this needless
espionage was deservedly chastised. -
A detective employed by the Freed
mems Bureau, in Wilmington, n. c., |
was arrested by the chief of police in
that city, and was on his way to the
watch-house when they fell in with a
squad of soldiers "Take this man to
the guard-house," said the detective.
The soldiers, recognizing the detective,
and acting upon previous Instructions,
obeyed, and the chief of police became
himself prisoner
But, should the Southern people fail
to either tempt or incite the negroes
to insurrection, they may yet drive
them to it. The frequent murder
OF unoffending colored people in some |
localities, the burning of their churches
and school-houses, the shameless viola |
ton OF contracts made with them, and |
other fiagrant aliases, tend in this di-
rection. We wish not to see it, but
should there be an uprising of the
blacks, it will be the fault of the South.

Pennsylvania Legislature.

Hon. III. S. Quay, of Beaver county,
has introduced a bill in the House,
which provides for an act of Justice
to the defenders of the Government
that cannot fail to command the sup
port of every just man in the Common
wealth. In plain terms, says the Tel
egraph, it provides for exempting ev-
cry officer and private honorablv mus
tered out of the service of the United
States, since September 1st, 1861, from
payment of taxes levied to liouidate
debts incurred by the payment of mil
itary bounties. The money borrowed
to pay bounties, was disbursed to save
entire communities from the draft
Those who were exempt from service
in the army by filling up the quotas of
entire districts by the payment of
bounties, are the parties responsible
for the debt thus incurred. These par
ties have reaped the benefit of the
bounty system. They were enabled
to remain at home, safely in the pur-
suit Of their business. Itwould be do
ing violence to equity to ask the sol
diers who received these rewards, to
pay any portion Of the taxes to meet
the debts incurred by the payment of
these bOunties. The taxation can only
justly be paid by those for whose ben
eft bounties were offered to volun-
teers.
In the Senate, on the 18th, the con-
tested election case of McConaughy

allowing banks to charge seven per

ordered to be held Tuesday next, to
consider resolutions in reference to the
death of President Lincoln. A reso
luton to close the hall of the House
on Sunday was laid on the table Res
olutions were passed returning thanks

Senator Householder, of Bedford, on
Wednesday last, offered a resolution

such other improvements as they may

Proceedings of Congress.

Congress is still engaged in devising
ways and means to properly legislate
for the chaotic States south, and though
nothing has yet been perfected, the
House occasionally gives unerring in
dications that if the late rebels will
not quietly find their level, Congress
will teach them where it is. The late
vote making suffrage democratic (ac-
cording to Wcbster) IN the District
shows that that body will not be tri-
fed with. Some important amend
ments to the constitution will be pro.
posed, and until these are perfected
and adopted, we do not believe either
House will admit any reconstructed
southerners into the councils of the
nation.
