- ~Advices from Panama. ba4ec
Advices from Panama present a picture
of anarchy and military despotism in Co
lumbia. Mosquera had finally broken up
Congress by military force and imprisoned
6S Senators and Representatives, among
them eX-President MurillO. his rival at the
next election. 1t was expected that his
next object of attack would be Panama,
and that the state of that name would in
all likelihood declare itself free and mde-
pendent.
From HOnOIuIu-QuestiOn of a Reel
-.e5Esa prOcitY Ireaty. pa sss
The Herald's correspondent at Honolulu,
Sandwich Islands, writes that Admiral
Thatcher, U. S. N, has been decorated by
the King with the order of Kamihamiha
First. There had been a meeting held to
erect a monument to Captain Cook.
The Chamber of Commerce of Honolulu
was agiGating the question of a reciprocity
treaty between the Islands and the United
States. From the statistics of 1866, it ap-
peared that the exports from the United
States were larger than those from any
other country. General Morgan L. Smith,
the new American Consul, had arrived at
Honolulu.
Declines to serve.
The Herald's special says: VIM. O'Con-
nor, on Friday, sent to Senator johnson re-
questing him to associate himself with
counsel for the application in the matter of
the Georgia INDUCTION. Mr.. johnson re-
sponded that he would have to decline. in
asmuch as he designs to aid the South, and
his opinion is that these proceedings must
end in Injury to that section OF the country
rather than good. -
Louisiana Affairs.
The Times special says: Advices receiv-
ed here from Louisiana state that Gen. Sher-
idan has, by the effect of his recent orders,
absolutely tied the hands of the civil
authorities, so that Gov. Wells, who, under
the Constitution has power to make remo-
walls and appointments in certain offices,
can do nothing without first obtaining his
consent. The old police force are retained,
but are more respectful towards Union men
and freedmen than before. Col. Thomas
Adams Monroe, Chief of Police, is con-
tinued i'll that office, although an effort is
being made to secure his removal, and the
appointment of Gen. Sypher, formerly Col
I onel of cOlOred regiment, i'll his place.
Prominent Radicals in New Orleans will
soon petition Sheridan to- allow Wells to
make removals and thereby flank all at
tempts OH the part of the ex- rebels to pre-

Fatal Disease. HTn
A fatal disease, termed Meningitis
has prevailed for some time past in sever
al places on Long Island. It attacks per-
sons in robust health, and is generally
fatal in forty y-eight hours. The membrane
of the brain and spinal chords are inflamed
and the whole muscular system is subject
ed to strong contractions. Reaction and
stupor follows, into which the patient
sinks and dies. In every case so far heard
