The CHOLERA CONTINUES TO RAGE IN
EUROPE, notwithstanding the reports that have
reached us to the contrary. A cable despatch
from London last night states that it has not
abated, and that the cases in Russia alone
number one hundred and fifty day. Another
despatch is singularly corroborative Of this
statement and gives an account of its ravages
on board an American vessel. The ship
Lowell had arrived at Cardiff from Hamburg,
and when the despatch boat boarded her it
was found that four of her crew had died from
cholera since the time of her leaving Ham
burg. IF such havoc could be made in few
days it is reasonable to suppose that had she
been out to sea for two weeks the vessel would
have been cleared of her entire crew. Ham
burg has considerable business with New York,
through the North German steamers, and per-
haps this information will be Of service to the
Health Officer at Quarantine.

Turkey Setting Her House In Order.

A cable despatch, dated Constantinople,
September l2s informs us that the Porte
is already taking alarm at the prospect Of
war. Mustapha Assim has been appointed
Governor of Albania, and it is expected that
the appointment will have the effe1 Of putting
an end to the disorders which still prevail in
that province. Albania is one of the most
difficult to manage Of all the provinces Of
European Turkey. The population is not
large, only slightly exceeding one and half
millions. But the Albanians are mountaineers
and, like the Swiss and the Scotch Highland
ers, and mountain men everywhere, they love
liberty and are not without liking for war.
The Albanians on more than one occasion
have done good service to the Turkish en-
pire, but they have also sometimes given it
trouble. 1t was from this province that went
out the famous Mohammed Ali, who made
himself master of Egypt in the early years of
this century, and who threatened at one time
to make himself master of the whole Turkish
empire. His descendants, by adoption, and
the heirs of his fame and fortune, are still
well for the Porte to provide against the evil
day; for, unless we greatly mistake the signs
of the times, the evil day is not far of. Aus
tria and Germany promise to deliver her from
the terror of Russia, but whether Austria and
Germany will prove more agreeable neighbors
is question which the future alone can an
swer. Evidently the ''sick man" is again in
danger OF dissolution.

pertinent.
In a recent number Of the Pail 1faS Gazette
there ls an able and suggestive article ON
French and American constitutional expert
ments. The concluding sentence deserves to
be reproduced. Speaking of the French ex-
pertinent, the writer ys:-''We in this
country have the strongest reasons for inter-
esting ourselves in the experiment Of freely
revocable Chief of the Executive, siace that
is form Of government to which we seem
to be drifting" This. from the Pts0 MaM
Gazette, a journal of most unmistakabls
arstocratic leanings! IF anything were
wanted 10 show that even England is rapidly
drifting toward republcanism We should
point to this sentence. The truth is, tho
Crown in England is but name. 1t does
nothing 1t is responsible for nothing. The
House of Lords, which has long kept up a
show of authority, has ceased to command
any respect. All power has centred in the
House of Commons. An unpopular occupant
OF thc British throne and stapid resistance
on the part of the Lords, it would DO the SIM
plest thing in the world for the Commons
House of Parliament to usurp all authority,
to dispense with he Crown and with the Upper
House and to make the Premier the Chi.f of the
Executive. Oar experiment has been so sue
cessful that we have convinced Europe that
crowns and thrones are more ornamental than
useful. France, in imitation of our example.
IS again experimenting; and if France can
only hold on little longer the result cannot
but be republican gain all over Europe.

and misgivings in regard to the elections of
this fall of any consequence are in regard to
the November result in New York. On the
10th Of July last It appeared to be reasonable
supposition that Tammany would carry the
State by at least fifty thousand majority but
on the llth and the 10Th, from the new issue
raised in that Orange procession, the whole
face of things. in the city and the State, was
changed, and there was visible opening for
the republicans. Then, Immediately following,
came this war upon Tammany, with Its sweep
ing charges of corruptions and robberies of
the public funds. At length these allegations,
pushed to legal prosecution, have assumed
form which threatens not only the defeat of
Tammany in November In the State, but posi-
bly, the overthrow Of the Wigwam as the con-
trolling political organization Of the city.
There would be little room for doubt upon
the subject were there no intractable malcon-
tents and no clashing cliques or factions in the
republican camp. But, while the democracy
are at last terrified by this terrible war upon
Tammany, the New York republicans have
nothing to boast of better than the
harmony of Donnybrook fair. Mcssrs.
Conkling and Murphy have their party
of followers and Messrs Fenton and
Greeley have their party. According to the
evidence furnished by each Of these parties
against the other the Conkling- Murphy men
are the Custom House republicans and the
Fenton- Greeley men are the Tammany repub-
lcans. The evidence on the subject, too,
shows that while considerable number Of
tAe Copklpg- Murphy Organization age enjoy.

assured, give rise occasionally to
some little grumbling, but even
these are managed in the same
naethodical style. The first prin-
ciple is, that the gifts are for the
''young household not for the
young lady. Accordingly they
are invariably adapted to the
rank, station, and means of the
young couple, and arranged on a

UNCHALLENGED IN THIS CITY.
Our readers will remember the
little scrimInage which the Board
of Registration had a week ago
on the question of allowing the
registry of women. The name of
Mrs. NanetteB Gardner had been
put on the list in the firstprecinct
Of the Ninth Ward, and an effort
was made in the board to have it
struck off, but the effort was IN.
successful.
Yesterday Mrs. Gardner voted.
She came to the polls in carri-
age, accompanied by her little son
and two ladies. She offered her
vote, and the inspectors of cleo
ton decided to accept it. The
inspectors were Aid. Hill, B. G
Durfee and w. S. Bond. Mr.
Bond protested against the vote
being received, but the other in
spectors declared in favor of re-
ceiving it, and it was accordingly
deposited in the ballot box There
were but very few persons around
the polls at the time, and the
affair seemed to create 10 excite
ment.
After her vote had been accent
ed, Mrs. Gardner presented to the
Board of Inspectors, a beautiful
boquet of flowers in china vase,
and also handed in a large and
elaborate device representing the
capitol of our nation, with crowds
of joyous and cheerful men on its
steps, with streams of light pour
ing in upon them. In the centre
OF the picture was an arch inscrib-
ed Liberty" upon which was
peTched All eagle. The gates were
thrown wide open by Columbia
and the Goddess of Justice. Al
large crowd of women, all in dark
ness, except the front one, were
just ready to pass the portals. Tile
leader held in her hands a scroll
labelled "The Fourteenth Amend
ment," which she was presenting
to Columbia. In the corner at
the right were imps of darkness
representing war, vice, etc., and
barrels of whisky were being roll
ed into the darkness. Black
clouds covered the whole of the
picture, except the illuminated
capitol and the fire ground.
Underneath was the following
verse
eve come, free America, five million strong.
In darkness and bondage for many. years
long;
We've marceed in deep silence, but now we
unroll,
The Fourteenth Amendment, which gives rs
soul,
Glory, glory hallelljah, as we go march
ing on
Recommendations, beloved daughters,
Take your places beside my sons"
After depositing her vote Mrs.
Gardner re entered her carriage
and returned home. As before
stated, she is a widow, and quite
a heavy taxpayer in the ward,
and she claims the ballot in ius-
tice as well as by law. She insists
on her right to vote under the
Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. |
