ChoIern md its Treatment.

The Rev. DR.. Hamlin, Missionary at Con-
stantinople, has written a letter to the Gin
ctnnatt Gazette, on Chorela and its Treat
ment, which contains, perhaps, the most
valuable information on that subject ever
presented to the public. So great has been
the demand for the Gazette containing this
letter, that it has been printed in conven-
lent form for preservation. Doctor Hamlin
has had great deal of experience with the
treatment of this dreadful scourge, and his
directions should be in the possession of
every person in the city. Barker & Bro.

row. among the German Catholics in the
city. Several eminent clergymen are ex-
pected tc be present and assist in these GER
emonies, among others, Archbishop Purcell

taken place in the city, will be performed
at Holy Cross Chruch, probably during first
mass, at about six o'clock in the morning.
At about 10 A. NJ, the rite of confirms

The site of this Church, called st. Mary's, is
on South Third street, between Keyser and

"An UncOnsIltnIiOnaI Amend.
ImenI.1 l

A journalist, who has undertaken the
business of enlightening the public on the
subject of agriculture and horticulture,
goes off into paragraph of ridicule over
the idea that there can be such thing as
"an unconstitutional amendment" If his
views are no more correct touching what
pertains to good farming, cattle raising,
gardening, fruit and flower culture, than
they are touching "unconstitutional amend E
ments," his publication will be compare
lively of little value.
There is such thing as making an /" "un-
constitutional amendment" to the Constitu-
tion. Every amendment to the Constitu-
tion that is passed by Congress during the
misrepresentation of the Southern States
is an unconstitutional amendment" By
the letter and spirit of that instrument
those States are entitled to representation
it is their right; and during such time as
they are forcibly excluded from Congress,
it is absolutely-to all intents and purposes
unconstitutional to incorporate into the
Constitution any amendment. That is the
fact, and no amount of sophistry or sneer-
ing will make it anything else than fact.

wendell PhIIIips, speech.

On the outside will be found WENDELL
PHILLIPS last speech. Neither the action
of Congress nor the President suits him.
PHILLIPS may be fanatic but that he has
penetration, must be conceded by those
who will dispassionately consider. He con-
tinues to declare himself in favor of Negro
Suffrage, and we take it for granted that he
Is sincere in his advocacy of that measure.
He does see, what most of his co-laborers
in the Republican party do not see, that il
suffrage shall be conferred upon the Ne
groes there is thereby conferred upon them
the right to be represented in the various
departments of the Government by men of
their own color. PHILLIPS says that the
North do not see this; but that the White
people of the South do see it, and hence
are opposed to making voters out of the
Negroes. He very truly says that the en-
franchisement of the Southern Negroes
would open the doors of Congress to Negro
Representatives from the South. There are
many Congressional Districts in the South
where the Negro population is cOnsidera-
bly, larger than the White population; and
while we are constrained to admit that the
Negroes would feel proud in being made
voters, it cannot be denied that they would
take much greater pride in being elected
to the Legislatures of their respective States
and to Congress, and if they shall once be
constituted voters, there is neither law nor
constitutional provision to prohibit them
from being thus elected,
Itmay be that the consideration of this
fact induced the committee of Fifteen
to ignore Negro Suffrage in their proposed
amendment to the Constitution. Not out
of any respect for the feelings OF the South
ern Whites-for they have none for them
would they hesitate to incorporate into the
Constitution such provision; but they are
disincliEed to receive into Congress Negro
members, or to parcel out among them the
Federal offices. They themselves need a
little educating up. The association would
be even too intimate for them.

"RnIIy to Your Party"

There were objections urged by Repub-
lican members in the House to- the third
section OF the constitutional amendments
dlsfranchIsing the Southern people who
bad participated in the late civil war until
July /, 1870. Some of them wanted it
stricken out, and some wanted it modified;
but when THADDEUs STEVENS closed the
debate, he told them that without that
third section as it stood the amendment
amounted to nothing. 1t would save the
Republican party, and without it the party
could not be saved and obedient to his
command, 81 say rally TO your party and
SdUe it, " every Republican member voted
for the amendment as it came from the
hands of the committee OF Fifteen.
1t is not pretended that any inter
est of the country demands that such
au amendment shall be incorporated into
the Constitution in violation of the Consti-
tuition. Rightfully, it was put on party
ground. A few days before the House
passed this amendment WENDELL PHILLIPS
sent the message up to the Republicans in
Congress: "If you can safely remain IN Con-
gress, continue in session Jorecer; but sec, at
'ohGteUer cost, BY THEEXERCIsE OF WHATEVER
DEsPoTIsM, the nation is safe" That is,
see to it that the Radical ideas of the party
are carried out. To carry them out usurp
power, disregard elections, impeach and
depose the President. This is the spirit of
his discourse. Itwon't do to say that he is
a fanatic, and that his voice is powerless
to prompt action. STEVENS reiter-
ated the idea in only different
language, and the whole of the Repub-
lican members present in Congress voted
obediently to his command. BY appeals to
the passions of the people, they will under
take to justify their conduct and seek re-
election; but if they shall be defeated-if
the people shall decide against them-then
STEVENS and his followers will do what
STEVENS and some of his followers under
took to do in Pennsylvania, under Governor
RITNER's administration-treat the cleo
tions as though they had not been held.
He may rest assured, however, that his dis
comfiture, under such circumstances, will
be greater than it was in the "Buckshot
War"

Funeral of Mr.. KeIIOn-MeetIng of
Merchants and Business Men.

At meeting of large and respectable
number of the merchants and business men
OF Columbus, held at the Neil House on
Friday evening, May IL, 1866, to give ex-

nenth off. KeItnn.

Mr.. F. G.. Kelton died at about twelve
O'Clock on Thursday night, of the terrible
injuries received on Tuesday morning by
his fall from the third story of the Gwynne
Block. The primary cause of that fall, and
thus of his death, it is generally thought,
was the injury received in his head during
his late journey to Mississippi after the re-
mains of his son, Oscar.
The death of Mr.. Kelton will be felt by
all our citizens as great public calamity.
Estimabie alike in public and private life,
for his business capacity and enterprize,
and his many virtues and social qualities,
his memory will be long cherished and held
sacred by multitude of friends and ac-
quaintaDces.
He came to our city when quite young
man, and had been in business here for the
third of a century. He was pioneer in
the wholesale business, having opened the
first establishment of the kind in our city.
1t was the spring or source, from which
numerous other wholesale houses have
sprung into existence, contributing i'm
mensely to the business, wealth and pros
perity of our city, ef|E.f ..n1H
:. The funeral of Mr.. Kelton, as will be
seen by a notice elsewhere in this paper,
will take place at two o'clock this (Satur-
day) afternoon, from his late residence on

Struck by Lightning ana Burned.

During the violent thuuder storm yester-
day afternoon, the stable of Peter Igel,
near the south end of Third street, was
struck by lightning and entirely consumed.
Before the arrival of the steam fire engine,
such was the apprehension that the dwell
ing house of Mr.. lgel, situated only few
feet from the stable, would be set on fire
from the burning structure, that the furni-
ture and all the movables were taken out
of the building during the most violent part
of the shower.
The engine from the South Engine House
arrived on the ground, and played on the
dwelling to prevent it from taking fire from
the burning stable. The water thrown by
the engine, together with the abundant rain
that was falling at the time, was effectual
in preventing the house from taking fire,
although in close proximity to the stable.
Fortunately, Mr.. Igel's three horses we're
not in the stable at the time, but out in
pasture. The principal loss he sustained
was that of the stable, which will probably
amount to several hundred dollars. 1t was
fortunate that his dwelling escaped with
out serious injury, though it caught fire
several times. ....t ...

The shower and Hail storm Yester-
day.

day.
About the middle of the afternoon yes
terday, our city was visited with heavy
shower ofrain, attended with thunder and
lightning, and severe storm of wind and
hail. Soon after the rain commenced fall
ing in torrents, the wind blew fiercely, and
hail stones, about the size of large chest
nuts or acorns, fell thick and fast, rattling
on the roofs and against the windows OF
houses like gravel stones.
The falling of hail continued for some
time, and if the storm extended far, must
have caused considerable damage to the
youngand growing vegetation. The show
er lasted for an hour or two aud during its
progress, it was attended, especially at the
commencement, with loud thunder and
lurid flashes of lightning. As noticed else
where, the lightning struck and set fire to
a stable in the southern part of the city,
which was entirely consumed.
1t was the most sudden and abundant rain
we have had for some months. The water
coursed down the cutters in rapidly swell
ing torrents, and in many places, over
flowed the streets, so as to render them
almost impossible for pedestrians. But it
came in good time, as such fall OF water
was greatly needed both in town and coun-
