Death OF Hon. Lazarus w. Powell.


By a notice in another column, it
will be seen that Hon. LAZARUS w.
POWELL, of Henderson, Kentucky.
died at his home, yesterday. We an
nounced, a few days ago, his danger
Gus illness, resulting from a stroke of
paralysis. Governor POWELL is we'll
known, not only in this city and in
Kentucky, but throughout the politi-
cal circles of the country, having been
In public life for more than thirty
years. He was a native of Kentucky,
having been born in our neighboring
county in 1872. He received his col
iegiate education at Bardstown, and
graduated in the law at Pennsylvania
University; and was admitted to the
bar in. 1885. The year following he
was elected to the Kentucky Legisla-
ture, and from that time forward he
was quite actively engaged in political
affairs. In 1874 he was a Presiden-
tial Elector. In 1851 he was elected
Governor of Kentucky, defeating his
townsman and law partner, ex-senator
ARCHIE DIXON. In 1859 he was sent
to the Senate of the United States,
where he was succeeded by Hon. JAS.
GUTHRIE in 1865. At the last session
of the Kentucky Legislature Govern
or POWELL was the choice Of the
Democratic membe s to fill the seat
now occupied by GARRETT DAVIS in
the Senate, but he withdrew his
claims in order to secure the defeat of
the Union candidate, by a coalition of
both the Conservatives.
Politically, Governor POWELL was
a State Rights Democrat, and during
the war was recognized as a friend of
the South. But while he was a strong
partisan, he always, even in the times
of greatest excitement. maintained
the most amicable relations with his
political opponents, and was always
recognized az a gentleman Of high So
cial qualities. Indeed, therein was
his greatest strength, and the secret
of his almost uniform success with
the people and his party. He was
well known in this city, where he had
considerable property interests, and
will be missed by a host of friends
here. He was probably the most
prominent citizen in our neighboring
city of Henderson, and in the social,
political and business circles his
death will be seriously felt.

A gentleman who left Memphis this
week, informs us that it is prevailing
there as an epidemic. and that it is
not confined alone to the negroes and
lower orders of society, but is effect
ing all classes. We have heard fire.
quently of rumors about its preva-
lence in Louisville, but the papers
give no accounts of its presence. The
New Albany Commercial, however, in
warning the citizens of that place of
their imminent danger, says:
I'VE are cr~editably informed
through private sources that quite a
number of cases have lately proved
fatal in that city (Louisville). In
deed, it is represented that the fatal
ity is unusually great"
We have no disposition to need
lessly alarm our people, but it is
well to know the facts. 1t is highly
proper at all summer seasons that the
police regulations of the Board of
Health be strictly enforced; but it is
more especially so now, and we hope
that the police officers will be e%njoin-
ed to a faithful discharge of their du-
ties. 1t would be well also that the
people should remember the preva-
lence of cholera SO near US, and prop
erly regulate their diet and habits of
living. The New Albany Commercial
on this subject, says:
1t will do no good to argue the question
whether or not the cholera is contagious.
There are well established facts, which all
point to the same results, n If we heed
their lessons, 1t does not matter whether it
be said that cholera spreads by malarious
influences. by means of minute animal or
ganism, or by direct human intercourse.
Wherever there are accumulations of filth
of any kind, foul e~xhalations, impure air
or water, the seeds of cholera find foothold
and spread with fearful rapidity. 1t is.
then, the part OF wisdom for our citi-
zens, n especially the city authorities, to
see to 1t that these exciting causes which
to its spread, shall be at once
removed. 81

Prepare for the Cholera.

1t is useless to disguise the fact
that Evansville is greatly exposed to
a visit from the cholera. It is better
that the people and the city authori-
ties should know the facts, and there
by be the better prepared for it. Thus
far wehave not heard of a single case
In this city. and we sincerely hope we
may as fortunately escape the rayages
of the scourge as we did last season.
We hear of its prevalence at various
points on the river below US; and if
we escape it, it may only be by thor
ough system of cleansing and purif-
cation of streets, alleys, and premises,
and by proper attention to diet.
There is no doubt of its existence
at Memphis, although the papers are
silent on the subject. In the Nashville
Press and Times we find the follow
ing dispatch to the Commissioner of
the Freedmen's Bureau:
MEMPHIS, June p, 1857.

Commissioner:

cholera since June 13-seven "a deaths re-

Our Views on the Tariff.

2 The New Albany Ledger copies a
resolution of the Wisconsin Press in
favor of the abolition of the duty on
printing paper, which we published,
with the following comment on the
part of the Ledger: asa5 sdt $3.50 &
Well, Journal, IL Justice and sound policy
demand the removaI of the duty on inn
ported paper, why do not justice and sound
policy Tenant the repeal of the present
enormous duties Oh other articles cotton
and wooden fabrics, iron, &C., &C.? Is it
because that in this instance their own OK
is gored that the Republican editors in
Wisconsin want the duty on paper re-
moved? Or will they be consistent and
advocate a reduction of the duty on arti-
cles used by farmers and mechanics as
well as printers? We hope they will not
be as inconsistent as Horace Greeley, who
advocates, through the Tribune, the en-
couragement of American industry, and
at the same time imports shlp-loads of
paper from Belgium.
Briefly and candidly we can state
to the Ledger our views on the Tariff
question. We recognize the sacred
ness and binding validity of our Ma
tional Debt. We favor the prompt
payment of the interest, and look
forward to the day when we may be
relieved altogether from both princi-
pal and interest. To accomplish this
desirable result, and pay the current
expenses Of the Government, the peo-
pie of this country must bear the
burdens of taxation. 1t may be true,
as a certain school of political econo-
mists assert, hat the proper way of
raising taxes is by the internal and
direct method. But a portion of the
needed revenue a we believe, be
obtained more easily and with less
apparent burden by means Of import
duties. And for this reason we are
in favor of a reasonable tariff; such
an one as will raise the most revenue,
making that the main and controlling
idea. In the adjustment of the
duties, it may be possible, without
disadvantage to the revenue, to dis
criminate in favor of certain kinds of
goods, which can be successfully
manufactured in America. But, theo-
retically, we are not the ardent advo-
Gates of a Protective Tariff. We be-
lieve the manufacturing interests of
the West, at least, can maintain them
selves without special legislation for
their own profit. We do not,
Ike the recent Pennsylvania Dem
ocratic Contention, abuse Con-
gress for not increasing the already
high duties. We strongly advised the
Republican Congressional delegation
from. Indiana to resist the influence of
the strong lobby interest of New Eng
land and Pennsylvania manufacturers.
We are glad to know that the Repub-
licans from Indiana, with hardly an
exception, did use their influence and
vote against a higher tariff. We wish
we could say the same for the Penn
sy!vania Democrats. We believe
Congress will consult the interests of
the mass of the people, and at the
same time increase the revenue by
the reduction of the duty on manyJar-
ticles of prime necessity and general
use.

did, indeed, secure the latter, but
failed to obtain possession of the
former. Our readers, generally, may
