DIR. SIR !!

DIR. SIR
I read in your last paper a communication
signed by some respectable members of the
community, merchants and proprietors Of hous-
es, converting a public meeting.
I attended this meeting and saw but a small
number of persons, comparatively speaking
the influential and more wealthy portion being
absent.
This e%vinces, Mr.. Editor, great indiffer-
ence and reflects disadvantagiously on a class of
people, who should be uppermost in taking part
in all measures tending to the benefit of the
community and aiding the authorities in carry
ing out order. No one present that night Of
the dreadful conflagration can conscientiously
say that order prevailed-that the engines and
fire implements were efficient-and that any
preventive measures against robbery and the
destruction of furniture and other things could

LIQUOR in the Capitol.

On Wednesday resolution was adopted III
the United States Senate prohibiting the sale
OF spirituous liquors in the capitol building.
Very possibly this was done because of the
!" gay and festive scenes of the past week
within the walls of that now very much
abused temple The liquor of these days is
not good. Adulteration always increases with
the rise in prices and there is no champagne
in this country, ii is said, but that which is
manufactured in New York With such
stimuli to enliven the capitoline orgies of the
congressman, 4 number of them must have
ieit Inadvertently well the days after their ex
cesses. II Is probable that they were rs ready
a any Vi the rest 10 exile liquor. 1t does some
creoit 10 the present habiiues Of the buiiiing
mat the scenes alluded 10 have cxcite ed disgust
In the course OF 4 short debate on the resoln
ton, Mr. WILSON made "A curious s,at.no,,
10 the effect that during the last few wears a.
employees Of the capitol had been taxed ~
keep members of Congress In whisky Duita
natural-they know how 10 tax others for
their comfort He stated further, that whisky
had been kept in the committee ROOMS and
other parts of the building for members.
Mr. McUoUaALL, who seems TO be )0sial an,
independent declared himself in favor o
"wines, whisky, and war This radica
creed seemed TO startle the members, and thu
bare apparition of grim yisaged war drove
them TO vote out whisky and wine,' lest
they might have TO take Mr.. McDousALLs
three Jfats together.

Pennsylvania Politics-Andy Stuart

Pennsylvania Politics-Andy Stuart.
We begin TO hope that the Conservatives
will be able TO carry Pennsylvania next fall
when the Congressional and Gubernatorial
elections take place. There is good ground Tor
expecting that such Il result is, ifnot probable,
at least possible, when we learn, as we do
from our exchanges, that such veteran Repub-
licans as ANDY STUART, of Fayette county, are
taking a stand in favor of the Presidents
st,iicy. ANDY lives but a few miles from the
Virginia line--less than twenty-and has made
many speech in this State He is political
war horse and ''snufis the battle from afar.
He is one of the best rough -and-tumble fight
ers i'm the keystone State. Years ago, he was
the great champion of the tariff, the stauhch
friend of HENRY CLAY, and bitter enemy 10
everything savoring of Democracy. He is
quite an elderly man now but we doubt not
that he can rally large force in the noun
counties. We are therefore pleased TO repeat
that he is out in full support of President
JOHNSON and belabors the Radicals with con-
siderable spirit. Mr.. STUART, in Il recent
speech, said :" he had served several years in
Congress with ANDREW JOHNSON. He knew
shin well, and he never knew fiTmer, purer,
cor more patriotic mana man who, by his
talent and unaded efforts, had raised him.
"self by regular steps, from the very lowest
I" TO the highest position in the world. He had
"good sense and good principles. His instincts
:" are all right, and he cannot do wrong. You
scan neither drive nor seduce him."

. The Disease OH the England probably noi
Cholera"

The New York Herald, under the aheTc cap
ton, argues to prove that the numerous deaths
which occurred on the steamship England
during her last passage from Europe to Anne
rica were very possibly caused, not by emo
lera, but nv ship fever. Certainly an undue
and unnecessary alarm has been occa"ioned
nv the report for even If true. ii does not
follow that n like malignancy will character
ize the disease on land in places where peo-
ME have wholesome food, fresh air, anu pure
water The Herdd says:
In times like the present. when m anticl-
nation of the appearance of this dreaded dls-
ease is \ subject of public anxiety, there Is Il
tendency on all hands, and even on the part OF
certain professionals to pronounce everything
cholera that looks like it, or has any one oil It's
MORE striking symptoms. Cholera is not re-
ported as prevailing ut the port from "hich
The England sailed, and ii is therefore rN-
plained that il was probably brought pS tht
herman passengers. But 1t did not appear ON
the Hausa all Of whose passengers We're ,Ict =
mans of the same class. Inc point vi mn
renee between the ships was, that one M''S
greatly crowded and The others were not nv
crowded state Of the ship was enough 10 III
ducr disease which was, perhaps, 4 deeP SP'
nr shin fever. that, with improper 1000 OF
,y,tor had severe abdominal complications
There was perhaps, no more ChOleTa on Tue
ENGLAND than on the atlanta few months
a0o All the probabilities are against IL. We
ar, disuoSrd to believe that Il NIrulent form OF
shin fever has been called cholera without Il
sufficient consideration of its true chilract"r'
