REMEDY FOR CHOLERA.

Every one has remedy for cholera
and vet it is admitted by physicians
fwha should know more on the subject
than other people, that no remedy can
be relied on. The plan is to treat symp
toms, and it is the safest, no doubt A
man who went on the Lady Gay, at Cairo,
last week, was attacked with cholera
Nearly all on board were stocked with
cholera medicine, and we're anxious for
the poor sufferer 10 try their remedies.
How many different medicines he swat
lowed before he was relieved by death,
we are not informed AS there was no
physician on board, he probably drank
from every vial and bottle offered him.
Still il is important for the people to
know as much as possible Of cholera and
its remedies, as physician cannot al
WAYS be obtained. Without recommend
ing anything on our own judgment, we
submit the following, communicated to
the Jackson Mississippian In case OF
an attack of cholera, place some good
brandy in saucer set the liquor on
fire and burn off the alchohol; then put
white lump sugar in the brandy; add a
tablespoonful of spirits of camphor :
amalgamate them all until 1t becomes
the consistency of syrup. Take a tea
spoonful every ten minutes, and in less
than an hour you will conquer the at
tempted attack upon life But, above
all, advise your friends to follow your
own example, and cast out fear This
advice. and foregoing recipe, from a
great physician, in tribute to his memo
~, | give to the public, that he may still
live among us

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.

The Philadelphia Convention will be
n great success or great failure. There
is only one question that will be likely
10 produce trouble, and that is in refer
ence to the admission Of certain politi
clans. The New York Herald is out in
favor of an indiscriminate admission OF
all who are opposed to the Radical party.
Ii says:
There appears to be an unnecessary
nervousness about the admission of dele
gates to the Philadelphia Convention.
Who shall he admitted and who shall not
be- admitted is q question which dis.
tresses q great many people. Now that
question Is very easily settled by admit

credentials from any body or Convention

point in the assembled council Of the
people upon this occasion This prin-
ciple will most probably be developed in
an address 10 the whole people of the
United States, and will embrace most
likely the admission of the Southern
States and review of the record of the
Radical Congress, and no more. II will
be, in fact, compact effort 10 accom-
plish what corrupt Congress has failed
TO do, and give us a chance TO start de
noureau in practical reconstruction, in
building up our governmental system on
a new basis, which basis is the suppress
sion of the rebellion and the restoration
of peace.
After saying that THURLow WEED need
not be feared, as there are no offices 10
manage" and VALLAYpIGHAM may be
silenced, the Herald concludes
The best plan to adopt, then, is to adj
init every one who presents himself upon
the principle that forms the foundation
of the Convention. The issue is broad
and plain. There can be no misunder-
standing it. tits reduced to the question
whether the country shall be restored to
its pristine condition, existing ante bel

the republic was burning. 1t is the peo-

they have won. Therefore let the voice

SOUTHERN RApICALIsM.

The Freedmen's Bureau and Radicals
generally are sending reports to the
North that Southern sentiment is be-
coming more rebeliouS, and that Union
men are afraid TO live in the South
Apart from the misrepresentation for q
purpose persistently made, there is no
doubt that the Southern people feel that
they have been betrayed. When they
surrendered TO the government, they ac-
quiesced in a restoration of the Union,
and not in that policy which treats them
as q subugated race The Freedmen's
Bureau il an institution founded upon
the idea of snbjugation, and nothing

Southern men have no civil

NEW ORLEANS, August l2-The report
of the Grand Jury published yesterday
fixed the responsibility OF the riot on the
Convenfionisis and others, for melting
the negroes. 1t states that by agreement
between the civil and military authori-
ties the Convention was to have been
protected by the police, acting in con-
junction with small military force, IN
til President johnson decided whether
the members Of the Convention could be
arrested after being indicted by the grand
jury. The police was on hand, but the
military did not arrive until long after
the riot. when martial law was declared.
The course pursued by the Governor
IS severely censured.
In reference TO the colored population

as q class, there is no hostility; on the
contrary there is a disposition enter

mitted without question. A caucus of
Southern delegates will be held in the

pursued toward Northern delegates.
While We fear for the result, we are not
without hope that harmony may be ar
rived at, and the Convention prove a
success. We cannot think that the OPP
position to VALLAYDIGHAM should cause
the Southern men to withdraw. Let the
North manage its own men. 1t is no
