The philadelphia Convention.

The mongrel convention of Southern
rebels and Northern doughfaces con-
vened at Philadelphia yesterday, pursu-
ant to the call of the "my policy "
party, and after the preliminaries were
gone through with, Gen John A. Dix OF
New York was chosen temporary chair
man, and corps Of Secretaries appoint
ed. The weather seems to have been
unfavorable to the gathering, and there
was very slim attendance, notwith-
standing that it has been heralded by
the New York World and kindred cop
perhead journals that it would be more
largely attended than any convention
ever held in the country.
Postmaster-GeneralR Randall called the
convention to order, and in company
with Senator Doolittle, appears to be
running it, for the benefit Of the John
son clique.
Vallandigham, it is understood, has
agreed to withdraw from the convention,
he probably not considering the compo'
sition thereof loyal enough for his as
sociation.
Doolittle will, in all probability, be the
permanent chairman of the convention

pany with one Of the women who had
previously been with him. He remained
in the room for some time, and after he
came ont, which he did smoking cigar,
he called the landlady and told her that
his companion was tired aud sleepy, and
asked that she be not disturbed until he
returned, which he promised TO do In
little while, In about an hour after the
departure of the supposed murderer Mrs.
Tyson was called up stairs, and on her
way up tried the door of the room al
alluded to, and after knocking and re-
ceiving no answer, thrust the door open
Mrs. Tyson observed that the room was
very dark, and that the shutters had
been closed and locked aud the curtains
drawn together 80 as to exclude all

approached the bed. She observed that

examination 1t was revealed that the
unfortunate woman had come TO her
death through violent struggle, She
had been choked with O large portion OF

CHOLERA RRpoRTs.-While cholera Is
decreasing in the eastern cities, there
comes bad reports from the west, Twen'
ty cases of cholera-four of them fatal
have occurred since Friday morning
at Chicago, city which has hitherto
been free from the infection. The In
crease of the epidemic AZ Cincinnati,
has been steady and alarming. Fifty
four deaths from cholera on Saturday,
sixty.eight on Sunday, and a total Of
6l0, all from cholera, since August l,
make Cincinnati by far the worst chol-
era field in the country. Every precau-
ton is employed to check the spread Of
the disease. The number Of sanitary
police and district physicians has been
largely increased, and measures have
been adopted for cleansing all the tene-
ment houses, streets, alleys, &c. suita-
BILE medicines will be prepared and fur
nished gratuously to the poor The
steamer Continental, which passed Cairo,
ILL.,, Sunday night, with a detachment
of the 10th colored infantry, had sixty
cases OF cholera on board, caused by
eating raw Cuba sugar. FGty.one deaths
occurred before her arrival, Monday, at
st. Louis, when there were besides TWEEN
six cases on board. Only those who ate
the sugar were taken sick. Three ia
tai cases of cholera have also occurred
on the steamer Canada, of the northern
packet line, from st. Louis to Lacrosse,
Wis, and there have been seven cases
and two deaths on the steamer Henry
Ames, which has arrived at ST.
Louis from the South. In the city OF
st. Louis, flfty-nine cases and twenty
six deaths occurred in the "a hours end,
ing Monday noon. The mortality from
cholera in New Orleans is increasing
daily at the rate of 10 per cent. There
were fifty deaths during the forty-eight
hours ending at 6 o'clock, Monday

CANADA.-The late Fenian invasion,
and the rumors of an intended renewal
of the attempt to capture Canada, have
alarmed our neighbors, who are pro-
viding for the purchase and maintenance
OF gun-boats on the Lakes and the River
St. Lawrence; not, however, without
some opposition in their own camp, on
the score Of the expense. Hitherto the
burden of defense has fallen mainly on
the Mother Country. Now the Canadi-
ans must help themselves. They will
soon discover to their cost, that if con
federation has its benefits, it brings it;
responsibilities along with it-and pref
ty heavy ones they will prove.

A SwINDLE.-A young fellow named
Robert L. Guise, and his two sisters,
one Of them divorced woman, who has
run away with major Eldridge," have
recently perpetrated q series Of frauds
upon an old man named thinner, living
near Buffalo, by which they sWindled
him out of $4,000. Guise and the sis
tiers Wormed themselves into the OLD
mans confidence, and under one pre-
text OR another Guise got mortgages
and other securities transferred to him,
while his sister Nancy actually acquired
a title deed to Zimmer's farm of three
hundred acres. AS fast as the young
scoundrel got the property into his hands
he expended it in the most extravagant-
" riotous living. While Guise pretend
ed to thinner that the property which
he obtained from him was either invest
ed in some way or deposited in Buffalo,
he accounted for his style of living by
stories of a wonderful rich man who had
made him (Guise) his agent in certain
immense transactions, and whose liber-
atty of compensation was prodigious.
Poor thinner most devoutly believed in
this mythical man of gold, especially
after Guise had exhibited to him, as he
did once, what seemed to be $4,000
bank bill, which had been given to the
said Guise by his extraordinary patron,
one-half to be paid to thinner on Guise's
debt to him, and the other half to be
jointly expended by Guise and thinner
in a huge spree. Guise even went sc far
in the development of his audaeious
fable, as to pretend at length that he had
married his rich friends daughter, and
actually brought home some prostitutes
from Buffalo, whom he introduced IS
his wife and some OF her friends. Finally,
the neighbors of thinner took the mat
ter in hand, had Guise arrested, and
made him disgorge his ill-gotten funds.

Notes of "A -Four through New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia.


The trip from Boston to st. John takes
only about thirty hours in steamer.
Following the rugged sea shore, stopping
an hour at Portland, we found nothing
peculiarly interesting before we came to
Eastport, Me, the scene Of the late Fe-
MAN exploits. AS we remained con-
siderable time at this place, We had a
good opportunity Of glancing at Campo
Bello, and what first surprised me is
that the would-be revOlutionists did not
take possession of that island, which is
only half mile from the American
shore. If they had really been in earn
est they could have got to it, even by
swimming. AS to their retaining it,
that is another question, this spot not
happening to be neutral ground, as their
leader, rather rusty in geographical lore,
had confidently supposed
The Fenian excitement had not entirely
subsidized at the time MAY 12th,) in
PASSPORT. We had the visit Of one on
board who seemed toIbelong to the frater-
nifty, and who replied to our inquiries
about the movement, in g. rather mystic
rious manner. However, there was no
danger; the two men, of-war, American
and British, which were in sight, were
well calculated to keep things straight.
When thought Of the preparations Of
the Fenians, their threatenings &C., and
the way the expedition ended, / could
not help saying to myself;
''Beaucoup de bruit ct fort peu de toison,
Disait celui qui tondait son CoChOn."s
Campo Bello is a fine Island, about
twelve miles long and six wide. 1t is
said to be pretty fertile, and seems well
settled. 1t should belong to the United
States, being much nearer American than
British soil.
Although the wind was not high,
there was good deal Of motion to the
boat, and consequently more or less com
motion among the passengers. 1t is
strange that travellers are sometimes
more sea-sick during short voyage
than in crossing the ocean. To be sea-
sick in earnest is certainly no enjoy
ment, but there is at least this redeem
ing feature about it; when you get over
it, you feel that you have had the seTvi-
ces of skillful physician, and then
you can devote yourself to the duty Of
self edifcation with a certain degree of
pleasure. But on short trip, sea-sick-
ness has net time to mature, and it
leaves you with the disagreable feeling
Of unfinished business. While you are
too sick to enjoy the voyage, you are not
enough so to reap any benefit from it.
1t is a kind of intermediate state in
which predominates a feeling Of gane-
ness and aotE6agness.

Louis Napoleon and the French
Frontier.

Our latest advices from Paris are to
the effect that the willy Emperor Of the
French, had formally demanded from the
Prussian Government q cession OF
large portion of its territory to France.
In a note addressed to the Prusslan
Chambers he says that the political
changes in Germany render an accession
to the French frontier absolutely neces-
sary, and in e previous communication
he had formally demanded of Prussia
the restoration of the French frontier as
il existed in 1914, when the Rhine was
the boundary line between Germany and
France; and though that portion Of
the Germanic Confederation lying be-
tween the Rhine and the present boun-
Diary of France had up to that time only
been under French rule for fourteen
years, it is well known that for CEN
turies past it had been the aim of both
the rulers and people of France to make
the Rhine their eastern boundary, and
for this object the people, or large
portion of them would willingly take
up arms to-day.
On the other hand, the Prussians are
lust as anxious to maintain their pres
ent prestige and empire as Napoleon Is
TO wrest it from them, and his demands
upon the Prussian cabinet have been met
: With most decided refusal and appear
a tees indicate that unless he makes a
di sgraceful back-down from the stand
he Sas taken, a war between France, and
Prr ssia is inevitable.
7 he present Napoleon is fully as am
Ditto WIS to acquire territory and power
whel ever he can, as was his uncle, a
fact OF which we have full illustration
by tile Austro-F French occupation Of
Mexico, and though our government
have been t&rdy in resenting the insult
offered it, or been placed by eircum-
stances in a position where it could not
do so, we trust that Prussia will per-
sist in her refusal to his arrogant de-
mands, and, if necessary, deal blow for
blow, until Napoleon LII has received a
lesson, the memory of which will last as
long as the one taught the first Napoleon
on the eventfal field of Waterloo.
