OUR LEGISLATURE.
The spenkership of the House,


The following highly commendatory notice of the
Hon. Henry G. johnson we clip from the Pittsbarg
Commercial of the Goth -
"From present appearances Hon. B. B. Strang of
Tioga and Hon. H. c. Johnson, of Crawford will
be the principal Republican competitors for the
Speakership at Harrisburg. Mr.. johnson is gentle
man of high personal character. He was Speaker of
the House in 1864. It Is Of the utmost Importance
that the Republicans in the Legislature should start
right, and in view of the past 1t would seem that
there ought 10 be no difficulty in doing so Let the
voice OF the people be respected"
The Plttsburg Gazette says
''Hon. H. &. johnson, or Crawford, is very game
rally suggested for the Speakership of the House
Ills election would crafty the Republicans of West
ern Pennsylvania" '0'
Mr.. johnson served term as Speaker in 1861.
and by the ability he displayed as parliamentaran
won golden opinions from members OF all parties
AT the close OF the session he received the rare com
pllment OF unanimous vote of thanks for his uni
form courtesy and fairness. AS a member he at
talned the highest rank and influence, and few men
have ever filled the Speakership with so much dignity
ana accepabillty. lie represents of the strong
holds OF RepuDlicanism, and his election to the
Speakershp would be very popular in the West
which is fairly entitled to that Office The above
endorsement from two of the leading Republican
journals OF the State will be generally endorsed bV
the press OF our party, and we have strong homes
that the election OF Mr.. johnson will be conceded
without much opposition. IL is due to the region
winch he represents, and ne merits this recognition
from the great party IN whose service he has abOred
emclently and earned an honorable distinction-

FROM BALTIMORE.

Anniversary of the Emancipation PrOclamn-
Iion-Grand Display by the COlored People of
BaltimOre-A Procession Two Miles Long.
Special Despatch to The EUeniilg Telegraph.
BALTIMORE, Nov. All darkeydom is on the
move to-day in honor of the emancipation, and
the grand procession of the colored population
is now consolidating, which is to march through
the city. The public thoroughfares are thronged
with negroes from the surrounding country and
adjoining States and the city, which pours out
her entire coored population. Some of the So
cieties and divisions, with banners, music, flags,
and all sorts of fantastic paraphernalia, have
already passed. and attracted general attention
Grand charots, drawn by four horses, bearing
men, women and children, are out, and country
wagons filled with whole families. The Masons
and Odd Fellows appear to excellent advantage.
The celebrated George II. Haskell is Chief
Marshal, with a full staff. He is on a white
charger, richly capariSoned, and himself COW
cred all over with ribbons, badges, and insignias
of honor. The other marshals are equally ele-
giant. Every participant seems in his best Sun
day 'go-to-meetin's, with extras. 1t is sup
posed there will be twenty thousand in the pro-
cession when fully formed, and probably fifty
thousand colored spectators. Many whites are
also anxious to see the parade.
Thus far all is quiet. The negroes appear
properly. All look happy. Flags and patriotic
emblems, with portraits of Lincoln, are innu-
merable.
The procession has just passed up Baltimore st.
1t was over an hour in passing a given point,
and probably two miles long. The throng of
colored and whites on sidewalks and in doors
and windows was immense. The chief attrac-
tion was triumphal car, representing the four
quarters of the globe and the Goddess of Liberty.
Masons, Odd Fellows, different trade associa-
tions with veteran soldiers and benevolent So
ceties were very numerous, and flags, banners,
and music innumerable. The car with colored
girls holding flags representing all the recon-
structed States was quite unique. Many of the
devices were highly appropriate.
The Knights Templar made a good appear
ance. 1t was, in all respects, highly creditable
affair, and perfect decOrum was observed. Thus
far there has been no attempt at disturbance or
molestation. There was one carriage in the pro-
cession containing four white men, including, it
is said, the Mayor of Washington.

CHOLERA.
FriehtrnI Ravages of the Disease in In

Writes a correspondent from Delhi, Sept 10:-
Having just tfaversed the line from Calcutta to
Delhi and writing from point only hundred miles
from Umrtsir am in position to give some reliable
details both as to the ravages OF cholera during the
present season and the severity OF the existing famine
in the Punjaub.
All along the road from Benares to this city the
cholera mortality during the past two months has
been very severe. Scarcely a place has entirely
escaped, however small; and all the large cities,
such as BenaTes, Alahabad, Lucknow, Agra, and
Delhi, have suffered more or less heavily. AT present
the pestlence is not raging with anything approach
ing virulence at any place except lucknow, where
the European deaths are averaging eight aud ten a
day. and at Umritsur the death rate has fallen to
twenty-five (natives) per diem. There is, indeed
great reason TO hope that the epidemic has for the
present year, pretty well run itself out. No exact
estimate can of course yet be formed of the total
mortality II has entailed during the past two or
three months, but the Official returns already to
hand show that 1t has been much larger than
hitherto expected. During the month of June alone
there were 90 200 deaths from cholera in the central
Provinces and for the following two months the rate
was not much less. In Eastern Bengal there have
certainly been 10000 deaths during the season. and
IN the Punjaub Upper Bengal, and RajpOotanana
the deaths have at the very least been suncient to
swell up the grand total to 100000 for the whole Of
Eastern and Central India. That a 1ac" of people
have died during the recent epidemic is certain pro-
baby this very greatly undertakes the actual figures
Six hundred Europeans have perished out OF a
scanty population of some 100000 -.

BYRON.
The Cnntr0yersy Euded,

According TO the New York Times London CORES
pondent, who writes the 23d ult, the exciting
dispute about ByronIand his wife and Augusta Leigh
is over:--
The Byron controversy is ended. Whatever Mrs.
Stowe may have to say further can only be said in
self-defense. Nothing that Lady Byron can have
said written TO Mrs Stowe Others in later years
can destroy the effect Of her letters written TO
Hon. Augusta Leigh on the eve Of the separation
while she was staying with Lord Byron In Picca-
dilly and subsequently.
These letters appear in the quarterly In them
Lady Byron says :-"1here is no one whose society
is dearer to me can contribute more to my happ!-
ness Should you hereafter condemn me, shall not
love you less" The day after Lady Byron left Lon
don, January l6, 1916, she wrote to Mrs. Leigh:-
"My dear A.. is my greatest comfort that you are
In Piccadillythat is, staying with her brother On
the 23d she writes :-"You have been, ever since |
knew you, my best comforter, and will so remain un-
less you grow tired OF the office"
These are followed by letters addressed ''My dear
est Augusta" and written with the strongest eX-
pressions Of confidence and aTection-leters utterly
impossible for Lady Byron to have written to Mrs.
Leigh had there been one word OF truth in the story
Mrs. Stowe has given to the world, and letters that
leave for Mrs Stowe but course to take-to con-
fess that she has been deceived by crazy woman
and to beg the worlds pardon for her i-judged pub
lication OF that Horrible deluson. She may find
some excuse for having given currency to the false
ho0d-to defend it as truth is no longer possible
