CHOLERA IN CINCNNATI--The Enquirer
of Tuesday says; "We found, upon appli-
cation yesterday to Or. CIendenin, that
there had BEEN reported to him several
deaths of persons who had died of the
cholera, which we give as follows: One
was Mr.. Thomas Rogers. thirty years of
age, resided on Third street was sick only
thirteen hours; another, Geo. Hunter
lived at rs Baymiller street. aged thirty
two years, was sick three days, aud is re-
ported TO have died Of epidemic cholera !;
the third is Elizabeth Riley, thirty yearsaof
age, resided corner of Gano and Lodge

was Mr.. G. Groves, aged forty-six, who re-
sided at the corner of Everett and Provi-

on Pete street. whose names we failed to

LADY DRUNKARDs.-Do you believe iii
IL is "A hard story about the drunken habits
of New York ladies, old and young. Some
try TO account for the shocking phenom-

shOddy accessiOns to the aristooracy Of
riches and fashions. We hope it is not
true, or at least is greatly exaggerated
We take the story with large allowance,
Drunken womenl Staggering IN silks
through broadway 1t is too horrid to
think OF.
And yet if women drink liquor to ex-
cess, they win be drunk And II they
drink often, they will be apt TO drink to
excess sometimes. And they win staeger
and fall aud sprawl, In Broadway or else
where, just like drunken men. And women
and girls, with overllowing purses, and
seanty education, aud no refined or moral
feelings aud nothing to do, may fall into
this snare, as well as the men. But we
will not believe it common, without fur
ther evidence.

The Political ImbrogIio.

In the discussion of the Presidents
speech. the first and main point Of objec-
ton is its lack Of dignity. This is said by
all those republicans who can find no
other objection, and by such of the press
as fear they may say something or agree
to something that may receive the appro-
baton Of the copperheads. II the Pres
ident was undignifed and indiscreet in his
expressions and denunciations, he has the
excuse Of speaking impulsively and extern
poraneously before an enthusiastic and ex-
cited crowd; and being q man more dis
tinguished for force Of expression, honesty
of sentiment. and frmness Of position, than
elegance Of diction, courtesy Of manner, or
the bending knee and mincing words that
usually characterize the successful poll
tician. But if he was indiscreet in his ex-
pressions under such circumstances, how
much less c have governors, legisla-
lures, and editors Of leading republican
papers, to so hastily take sides in denoun-
cling the President and endorsing Congress,
as if clarifying in the prospect Of a rupture
in the party-a rupture which they at the
same time so sincerely deprecate-and as
If they feared each would be late in getting
into the lead Of the radical wing opposing
the President. The turbulence manifested
by radicals and extremists, show an evil
disposition on the part of a great portion
of the population ; so anxious to take sides
which promise excitement and the renewal
of difficulties between the two sections Of
the Union. It is now the duty OF the

head friend, D. J. Oullahan, who -four
ished quite conspicuously among the
snakes in Gold Hill last Summer, as
many will remember. He seems to have
become disguised with his former pursuit,
and turned his attention to q morerespect-
able and lucrative business. Barring his
politics, you will no doubt wish him sue
cess. At IL o'clock we mounted the cars,
and were spirited away by the iron-horse
in q most luxuriant manner, compared
with our mud wagon experience of the
past three hours. The next place we
reached was what was once Latrobe; but
now it seems sad and deserted, every
thing passing it by in silent contempt. It
has outlived its usefulness, and succumbed
to Single Springs, which will in turn give
way to some other place, as the progress
Of the iron.horse towards Nevada will
leave It in the lurch. Barely stopping a
moment at Latrobe, we sped onward to
Folsom, which also seems to wear that
cherries and deserted air that character
ICES Latrobe; as if in mourning over the
departed prosperity Of former days. Our
stop at Folsom was FIVE minutes. The
next and last place worthy of note, and
at which the aforesaid iron-horse gave an
expiring shrek, was Sacramento, the
beautiful "City of the Plains" from which
this letter is dated, and from which you
will again shortly hear from

from out the locks Of tho doors 4: the few
remaining dishes threw violent somersaults
from shelves to the floor. A last attempt
was made to set the table yesterday for the
Sunday dinner in vain ; the plates jumped
of the table and went to atoms against
floor and ceiling, 90 the hapless family ate
their Sabbatical dinner from their laps,
A daughter Of the family, on her return
from church yesterday. on entering the
parlor, had her Bible torn from her hands
with such force as to tear the covers en-
tirely of.
Even the bread became endowed with
life, and went spinning over the table in
the most eccentric manner. During yes
terday afternoon there was comparative
quiet; there were rumbling noises, but no
movements Of inanima.e objects. Our re-
porters visited the house during the after
noon; they heard the strange unaccount-
able noises, but saw nothing in transition
through the air. Broken dishes, shattered
mirrors, damaged books, and the absence
of all ornamental furniture, bore ample
evidence of the strange annoyance to which
the dwelling was subjected.
Several spi~ritualists have visited the
house and expressed themselves confident
that evil spirits were at work. though who
invoked their power they were unable to
tell. None Of the mediums seemed to
have sufficient power to lay the disturbed
spirits beneath the waves Of the Red SEQ.
By the urgent requests Of the family we
suppress the number Of the haunted house,
as it would become uncomfortably crowd
ed with curious visitors. The facts are
substantially as above stated. The pas
tor of the church to which the annoyed
family belong passed last night in the
haunted house. One of the attaches Of
the Inquirer shared his yigils. The fam
lily in this house are all opposed to the
dogmas Of sp~iritualism, are COMMUNE
cants of the Baptist Church, and bear a
high character for Christian integrity and
rectitude.
The only theory advanced thus far by
the superstitious to account for the out
break OF these mysterious manifestations
is that they are caused BY a lady who
boarded in the family for some months,
and left the house on rather i'll terms with
its inmates. The woman is reputed to be
q s~piritualist, and it is said by some that
she had conjured the evil spirits into the
house. Those in the immediate neigh
borhood who profess sp~iritualism are con-
siderably exercised over these manifesto
