If there were any military commanders in
the .N0rthern States, We 1oai ia view Of ~eY
ersl orders aud directions uc have lately seen
published ia the Sonth in relation to the reg
isteIing aud voting by coloreL men, request
them TO take Il list and make !, hntt. Of The Whifr
men " no are discharged by their employees in
that section OF country, heaau> they will not
vote i heir employers wish them to vote, or
are absent from work in attendance political
meetings. Don't let the matter be q one sided
one, altogether If white man in the South
works for 60 much day, aud chooses not to
work, but to attend to business OF his own, he
does not complain because his employer prefers
to obtain the services OF Il man who will work
regularly, and will not be absent when his SER
vices are wanted. Why should difference be
made against him. by military orders As 10

Tie Richnond Wing says "Of the many
thousands of the ex-Conlederates who have
registered and expect to vote there are, per
haps, not one thousand who would not hail
with a satisfaction approaching enthusiasm the
election of General Grant to the Presidency,
and who would not cast their votes for him in
preference to any man IN the North.
The Wing has perfect right to express its
opinion-but others have the same right to cx-
press their dissent. We do not believe at all
in the satisfaction approaching to cnthusi-
osna." A very large number Of the Southern
people prefer Gen. Grant to land many would
vote for him. any other prominent Radical at
the North In so far as the defeat Of Wade,
Sumner, Stevens, Butler, or any Of that set, is
concerned, it would simply give Satisfaction. "
But he is not the choice of the Southern peo-
pie "over any other man at the North"
There are fifty men at the North, they would
prefer to Gen. Grant. And we say this without
the slightest personal disrespect to Gen. Grant
but simply in reference to public and polit-
cal views and sentiments.
DR.. Harris, of New York, has sent commu-
nication TO the president of the board of health
on the subject of cholera, containing facts in
relation to the disease in the West and show
ing the necessity Of using efficient sanitary
measures every where. He says, at no point
east OF the Alleghenies or north of the Ohio
has cholera yet become epidemic this summer
but there is much significance and timely warm
ing in what are termed sporadic cases of cholera
III various towns where it prevailed last year.
Intelligent sanitary officers are fully awake to
the necessity of perfect hygienc care Of the
first cases, without awaiting i decision upon
the question whether such individual cases be-
long to q coming epidemic This dutv of
stamping out the reproductive sources of the
fatal scourge is no longer doubted by reasonable
men,
