THE CHOLERA.

l[From Chapman's Principal. vol. IL
That the cholera is but slightly infectious is seen
in the fact that those who do fear seldom take it,
no matter how much exposed. This fact is confirmed
by its frequent sudden disappearance, after few in
dividual cases, without spreading from places where
the panic, which usually attends its first visitation
had been chiefly disspated by its previous prevalence
at those places
The effect Of this fear or panic is illustrated by an
Eastern adage, in which the cholera, on leaving a
city, is represented being accused of having muir
dered 80 900 persons; and as replying, 1T is talse
only killed 3,000-fear killed the other q, 000,'
do not advance this adage as proof that during
the prevalence of the cholera, precisely out
of ten the result of fear but Us the adage had its
origin in that section Of the globe where the cholera
first appeared where its ravages have been longest
continued and most destructive. and where expert
of the malady in all its phases, had the best
chance for mature, correct decision. it is probable
that the adage designed to give an indefinite idea
OF the vast preponderance of fear over every other
in the spread of the maady, based on obser
walton and experience.

well supplied with light and air. and the free use Of

The Negro Suffrage Bin.

On Thursday last this bill was brought to a
vote in the House of Representatives, as origi-
nally introduced by Mr. Kelly, of PennSylva-
MIA, and reported back by Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa,
from the Committee on the Judiciary, without
amendment All efforts to qualify suffrage
failed, and the bill was passed in the following
form-yeas1l6, nays "a.
Be Il enacted By The Senate and House Of
Representatives. Of the United States Of Ameri-
"a IN Congress assembled, That from all laws
and parts of laws prescribing the qualifications
of electors for any office in the District OF
Columbia the word "white" be and the same
is hereby, stricken out, and that from and after
the passage Of this act no person shall be dis
qualified from voting at any election held in the
said District on account of color.
SEC. Ind be u further enacted, That all
acts of Congress and all laws of the State of
Maryland in force in said District and all ordi-
nances of the cities of Washington and Gec rye
town inconsistent with the provisions Of this
act are hereby repealed and annulled.
Messrs. Hubbard and Latham, members from
West Virginia, voted against the BILL Mr..
Whaley was absent.
To have the right to vote under this bill, a
negro must have the same qualifications as a
white man. He must be a resident of the Dis
trict of Columbia a certain time, pay school
tax, and be properly registered in the ward or
election district in which he resides.
1t is doubtful whether the Senate will pass
the bill in this form but there is ittle doubt as
to the President putting his veto on any other
than limited suffrage bill.
During the discussion, and at the time of the
passage of the bill, the negroes were intermin-
gled in large numbers with the whites, and the
shouts were loud and the odor abundant.

Fertilizer.

We desire to call the special attention Of our read
ers to the advertisement in another column, Of
Baugh's Raw-Bone Phosphate" which is sold by
Mr.. Dugdale, the agent in Baltimore, and by his
agents throughout the State. Sincethe high price
of Peruvian Guano has put it out of the reach of
farmers generally, the attention of the agricultural
community has been turned to some of the FertiIi-
zers most prominent before the public in order to
find less expensive and equally efficient substitute.
Baugh's Raw-Bone Phosphate" the article al
luded to, can be safely recommended to all who de-
sire fertilizer sufficiently active TO forward the
growth of the crop, and permanent enough to in
sure heavy yield Of grain, as well as to leave in
the soil sufficient quantity of fertilizing material
for the action Of future crops. We therefore re-
commend those of the community who have not
used this popular fertilizer to give it trial. As to
those who have used il this hint will be unnecessa
