THE CHOLERA.
IFROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
LONDON July 2S.-We are still good deal
in the dark q ont the Ballot bill and its probable fate
Vas told Yesterday by person who is not often mis-
taken that Mr.. whbreads feeler about Autumn
slon has proved 80 successful that Mr. Gladstone had
made up his mind and that he would announce his plan
-adsy ia the House. But be merely said he had not vet
rltaincd 70 his satisfaction the opinions of the Lords
o. Of Difference very Characteristic Of Mr. Gladstone
l, OF at all pleasing his Radical supporters. Nor
ir Forstrl's statement look if the Cabinet had
decided on anything He went through schedule
OF prov sous hat are be retained and provisions that
are to dropped but Mr. Disrael said the concessions
announced were shadowy, and would save no time ;
which latter remark means that Mr. LOwther and the
two Bcntincks, ANA Mr. Beresford Hope, are as much
Icnf fihDusteriug ever. There is considerable
apparent progress but the end is really almost as far of
ever Mr. Gladstone could settle il all in two minutes
by that the Ministry had resolved TO hold an
Autumn session unless the opposition gave way Then
whether they did not the bill would equally be saved
course, members do not like Autumn session, for 1t
means quitting their country seats in the midst OF the
y season. aud coming up to London in the fOgs and
being bored for month more, and going back and
tel coming up again in February Human nature--0r

&C reports which, though apparently quxe distinct,
really complements of and explain each other have
at been published. One is all imposing document from
Prank Ives Scudanore, who runs the British Post
Doe and-exoept that the word expresses much
gsed to DO used in connection with his management
no Postal Teleguaphs well. This document is a re-
ft of the financial results Of the telegraph admins
alton It states The gross revenue for the ftist
urtesn mouths after the Government assumed charge
~ the telegrsphs being nearly seOOO 1t is not
ssy&o discover what the expenses have been, for Mr.
suoamoIe feels himself under the necessity of present
hga good balance sheet and has exercised wide dis
saetion what must be called current expenditure,
aud what may be charged 20 construction accounts
phrase which has a sinister meaning here well In
America, and has coaked a deal Of wastefui and
tseompesent In both countries BY help OF
shis convenient distribution Mr. scudamore gets
ssnated expense account OF only o. 10000 The balance
q Neeo6o has TO the interest the capital an
vested by the Government in the purchase OF the te
graphs amounting TO together with the cost f
sAIehsol restrations, and what called general Ina
po1SeneHs. The expenses charged TO construction
count appear to be $4,000 about million dollars
sefe Than fhe receipts Of the fourteen months and Mr.
seamcre wants loan Of S. 10 enable him 20 pay
Oh ese debts and carry out his plans for the future
nut Let us assume that Mr. ScudanOres statement Of
accounts is correct that he has charged only what
eught 70 be charged 10 construction account that his
sam or VI $4,000 excess Of receipts In the fourteen
months, over proper working expenses, is cooked
N fictitious, and that his balance does really cover the
iest account and leave genuine profit 10 the credit
hls management. Admitting all this how did he yet
ia oasheei We shall find help in answering this
