DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

The New York Herald has quite a lengthy
article on the "Presidential Chances" which
affords the most encouraging exhibit that we
have seen for the Democracy. 1t is true the
Herald cOrrectly.remarks that it is year and
four months yet before the Presidential cleo
ton will take place, aud that many events
may occur in that period to change entirely
the present outlook. We are not disposed to
attach too much importance to calculations at
this early day about the "chauccs"; but they
are Of course, interesting, and may help us,
at least to form an opinion, even if it be not
a very decided one, with regard to the great
battle to which We look forward. The Herald
remarks:
"There are BIT electoral votes. A candi>
date must get $50 to be elected. If We take
the States that are generally acknowledged to
be Democratic aud those which were carried
by the Democrats at the last election as an
indication Of what the vote of the Election
College may be, the result would be about as
follows:

Asiatic Cholera.

This dreadful scourge seems to be on one Of
its periadic piIgrimages around the world, and
1t would be wise for the authorities in all the
cities and towns Of the United States to take
proper precautions to prevent It from destroy
ing their citizens. The towns should be
cleansed from all filth and putrcfyins matter.
An ounce Of prevention is worth more than
pound of cure.
This dreadful disease, which for two years
past has been lingering in Russia, where it has
become winter disease, has reached the Bal.
tic ports, and has crossed the Russian frontier
into Prussia Poland, in spite of rigorous
sanitary Gordon.
The hrst invasion Of cholera known to this
country, saysthe Bait San, was in June, 1882
when it appeared in the early part of the
month, in Quebec and Montreal, aud on June
q in New \ FORK, the intermediate districts es.
Gaping its visitation. The disease spread in
various directions, reaching Philadelphia, Al
bany and Rochester in July, and Boston, Bal
tlmore aud Washington N August. In Octo-
Der 1t spread from Cincinnati to New Orleans.
The European route by which it then came
was the line of the Mediterranean, spreading
north through Europe, whence it travelled to
England, and then came to America via Que

1884, there was another visitation to the Uni.

since. In 1866 its European route was some.

by its progress thus far. At that time, as now.
line OF steamships crossed the North German
ocean and landed their cargOes of emigrauts
at Hull, whence they were taken by rail to
Liverpool. aud then by steamer again to New
York. The contsgion was thus conveyed
from Russia to the North German ports
Hull and Liverpool both suffered notable cpl.
denies. aud the tiua! depot was in New York
harbor. Cholera has already made its appear.
auce at Hull, Liverpool will come next, and
1t IS not an idle apprehension to suppose that
it may next reach New York, or some Ameri,

European localities where it has just made itl

THE CONVENTION QUESTION.
E1eotion Dey, 4a 22wsdey, 2sM August.
THE BALL MOVING.

The people Of the county are becoming
thoroughly aroused to the importance Of the
Convention question, and it is but reasonable
to hope full Conservative vote will be pOlled
iS Its favor. 1t is so long since the mass of
people of this county have taken any part in
elections, that an apathy aud indifference, not
to say disgust, has come over them, aud it will
require all of effort aud exertion to keep the
people awake to the importance of the in
terests involved. AN exchange thus sounds
the alarm to every county in the State, to
none Of which is it more applicable than our
own:
sit Is time that the Democrats and Con,
sentative men of this and every other county
in this State were waking up to the import.
ance of the question to be voted upon on the
2ith inst, considered as q party issue. The
apparent apathy thar pervades many localities
where the friends of the Convention are largely
in the majority must be shaken of. If tho
Convention is beaten, that result will be sub
stantially a radical triumph, and will be so
claimed. 1t will also indicate the probability
of the election of Radical Legislature next
fall. A Radical Legislature under the pres.
ent Constitution aud having the Courts under
control, will inevitably restore the disfran-
chisemsnts and all the OdiOus legislation Of
the past The defeat of the Convention will
be the entering wedge to restoration Of the
old order Of things, the re enactment of the test
Oaths, the prescription Of the citizens, the ty.
raDny of the Registrars and the whole cata.
logue of ihiquities from which the State was
freed by the Democratic victory last year.
Can you, dare you entrust that party with
LII, IL
amended rs to render forever Impossible q
reputation Of the abuses of the past 2"
In obedience to the call through our last
paper of the Middleway precinct were in
council on Saturday last, largo in number and
enthusiastic in feeling, of which the following
report has been furnished us:-

TRIBUTE TO VIRGINIA.-In a speech made
last week at Louisville, KY, Mr.. D. W. vOOr-
hees, of Indiana, said:
"lf I, on the other hand, was calling wit
nesses for the Democracy, would point FIRST
to the old State of Virginia, the most afflicted
Of all, the most torn to pieces of all, with her
male population driven away, her bosom
thEashed with the Neutrality-suspicious. Of death
from one border to the other. She has emerg-
ed as from FIRE OF ten-fo!d heat, but she has
fallen into the hands of Conservatism and not
OF Radiealism, and no Radical, not even Ben.
Butler, dares wag his foul tongue or point his
ieIOniOus finger At her. ECheers. And this
l said TO him, too, on the fOor Of tho House.
Virginia, the ve:y head aud front of the s,ruc,
gle on the part Of the SOuth-she in whose
bosom lies more buried Valor than in any other
equal space of ground the sun shines upon
EaPplause where heroes surprising those
that Homer sung of met and clashed their
swords and bled and died-she on whose fate
the whole South hung, who never faltered,
and when her great leaders laid down their
swords all others Wero laid down."

Meeting at LaatoHn.

There was quite a numerously attended
meeting at LeetOwn on Saturday last-which
was to have been addressed by Messrs. Isbell
and Kennedy, but owing to some mistake Mr..
Isbell was not pTesent-having gone to Smith
field. Mr.. y. Z. Kennedy was on the SPOT,
and addressed the assemblage for nearly two
hours upon the needs for reformation of the
Constitution Of the State. There were, he
thought, many good features in the Constitu-
ton and several of the bad ones could be, at
least temporarily, remedied by legislative ac-
tiOu; but there are so many others that worked
such outrageous wrong upon the greatness of
the people-wronSs which could not be relicv.
ed by the legislature no matter hOwsoever
willing its members might be to do justice in
the premises-that required the knife to be
applied mercilessly. 1t was absolutely aud
imparatively necessary for the general good
that Convention should be called, aud he
appealed to those present not only to vote for
this call, but to see to il that their Aeighbors
were brought to the polls.
He had no fear of the result, except in the
apathy of the people. He believed that the
good sense, aud the good hearts Of all the citi-
zeus, save the corrupt radical ofice-hOlders,
were in favor of new Constitution, and If the
proper steps are taken to bring out the vote
the majority in the State would be sufficiently
large, and overwhelmingly SO in the county
OF Jefferson, whose people probably had more
wrongs to endure thaa that Of any other
COUNTY,

JUsr SO!-In republishing from the
"SPira" the history and the iniquity as to
the origin of West Virginia, the Alexandria
Gazette remarks:
Tho history of the proceedings which took
place relative to the formation of the new State
Of West Virginia, in another column, will be
useful for present information and future
reference. We have always regarded the
creation Of that new State, under the circum>
stances, including the ''aunexatiun" of Jeffer,
sou county, &C., as one of the most indefensible
of the war measures-for it may be called
war measure-Which was carried into effect.
There was nothing about it which the Com
BtitutiOn authorized or which can be justified
under the usages and principles of our govern,
ment and laws.
