CHOLERA NEW YoRK

The New York World of the 9TH con-
tains the following editorial paragraphs:
We must protest against the course Of
the Board of Health in trying to keep the
facts respecting the spread Of the cholera
in this city secret. The honest plan is to
tell the number of cases and deaths daily.
Then people know what 10 expect Under
the secret system the country will he filled
with lies about the prevalence of the dis

70 be alarmed at, as the facts show.
"The cholera seems to have obtained a

There are, however, quite a NUM- Der Of
deaths from diarrhesl disorders, and peo,

THE COOLIES.

The announcement that twenty>three
coolies had arrived here, per brig VIM.
Robertson, from Havana, has been pub
lished, and drew forth many comments and
sensational kilograms TO the effect that an
attempt is about 10 be made by our plant
ers to revive slavery in a new form. Mr.
f. T. Wickes, who has them in charge,
called upon us and explained that these
coolies are all intelligent men, and know
perfectly we'll what they are about. He
engaged their services for gentleman of
the highest responsibility, DR.. Kittredge,
of Bayou Lafourche, about nine miles from
Donaldsonville. He entered into regular
contract with the men for a period of eight
cen months at the rate Of Sl4 per month /;
gave them in advance a months wages
each in gold, and paid !heir passage from
Havana. 1t is a plain, legal, business
transaction. Mr.. Wickes declares no
threats, force, or wrongful means have been
IN any manner exeried to induce them TO
come TO louisiana Still his coolies are
not permitted TO land, and United States
District Attorney Torrey has seized all his
| papers touching upon the transaction. He
declares his inability TO obtain satisfaction,
yet he has continued 10 subsist the coolies
on board the ship al a cost Of sixty cents
| per day each man. This is a hard case
and We hope to hear that it is speedily de-
cided.-N. Q. Tines, Aag.7.

and his supporters; or would you have had
dividends sent to you-even to your pri-
vate residences by proxy hunters.
If these efforts are required TO sustain
the present administration, we would like
| to know what earthly power could save
them after twelve months more Of bad
management?
In conclusion, we ask you not TO sdeeeived
by any statement of proxy hunters, or
others in the interest of the Burns party,
to the effect that the road will be seized BY
the government, or that the lawsuit will
be dismissed if the Burns ticket is not re-
elected. We assureyou that the candidates
opposed to them will have more influence,
and 90 less bad trading with the govern
ment Nor is any one of them whatever
interested in the event of thelawsuit against

WASHINGTON, August l0.-It is said by
gentlemen who have seen the communion
ton handed by Bradley to Judge Fisher,
that it first refers to the affair in the court
room, early in July, and quotes the ex-
preston attributed to Judge Fisher, to the
effect that Bradley knew where the Judge
lived, and that the latter would receive a
communication from him st any time. 1t
then states thatthe writer can give but one
Interpretation to the declaration by Judge
Fisher, referring to the misunderstanding
between them, and suggests that the
Judge should appoint as early day
as convenient, to meet Bradley outside of
the District for the purpose OF settling this
difficulty. Mr.. Bradley further suggested
in his communication that if they met
within the District, they might be inter
fered with. The letter was dated July 6,
but was not received till the conclusion of
the trial.
Returns received at the Commissioner
Generals Land Office, show an aggregate
disposal of 79,02l acres public land, at
Ionia, Michigan; St. Peters, Minnesota (;
Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and Browns
vile, Nebraska. The greater portion is
for actual settlement.
