CHOLERA.
An Answer .. q Plain Qae..ien.

The Kansas Chief, published at Troy, asks
" Is there any cholera in st. JosephP We will
answer the question rs it is asked. There is moi
now, nor has there been this year. . single ease
OF cholera in st. Joseph. In the past month and
a hall there have been two deaths from cholera
morbus-both persons advancrd in years, and OF
feeble eonstitutiOn-and the mortality among
children, oceasioned by teething, darrhea and
cholera infantum, has been larger than usual.
There has also been general tendency towards
every instance they have readily yielded to prop
er Treatment. At this time, however. the health
OF the city is fully as good as it generally is at
this season of the year
This is the plain fact. We do not think there
has been a case Of genuine Asiatie cholera west
of st. Louis this season-at least none west of
Fayetfe. in Howard county; the epidemic seems
to have wenden its way eastward, .visitiHgtth
smaller towns, instead Of the cities and revisit
ing these towns oftsn.-St. Josspk Gazetts.

HERE'S BACKBONE FOR YoU.-Tbis big talk is
from a late number of that backbone promoter,
the Troy Republicans:
"A Democratic paper thinks that the Radicals get
ting into tight hx because President Grant signed tne sa
tight Every who vOted for thai bill and the Pres
who signed IL instead of killing as he could have
done by vstoing IL had hand in perpetrating sw1nde
and don't how much how often the TACT s refer
red to"
You don't care, ehi How long is it since you
who took his back pay-Judge Lowe-and cbarg-
ed that we did so because he refused 10 make
certain Post-of6ce changesi Howlong is il since
you sneeriDgly asked why didn't denounce
the President for approving the billf This de-
nnnciation from you is all yirtuous and honest,
is it, while from US, it was for spitei What has
50 suddenly aroused yOur virtuous indignation !
Do you find the current of public opinion running
swiftly in that direction, that you must float
with itf Has that old thief Intidel, bribe-taker;
that s. 900 man-has that paper without infu-
ence forced you to express an opinionf But In
this matter there is one fact that is significant.
The Republican never dared deDounce the salary
grabbers until it read that the Kansas Congress
men had apportioned the State among themselves
for the control of patronage; that DoniPhan
COUNTY came under Cobbs supervision; and
that Lowe has no voice in the appointment Of
Postmasters in this County! Cobb can't do any
thing wrong, as long as that little arrangement
exists.

II Ex-Gov. Robinson is getting to be a regu-

~ The Republican is troubled about our in
uendoes. As we have refrained from mentioning
names, it thinks that persons cannot tell who are
meant, and that when tackled on the subject,
we have left creeping ont place, so that we can
say we did not mean this or that one. The beam
ty of it is, that it Is entirely unnecessary to ask
whom we meant; for by common consent of tine
persons themselves and nil Others, the saddles
have been put on the right horses.

After an ON nous silence of several days, in
regard to the legal proceedings in the Park pur-

no argument will be had before the Chancellor
before September, and that the whole effort to
acquire the property desired is practically fall

profoundly regretted. The gentlemen who have
caused it must incur the blame OF having lntilet-
ed upon the public interests of the city OF Will

the consequences of which will be painfully and
bitterly felt
chancellor Bates is about leaving for SUM
mer vacation, (going first to Saratoga.) In view
of this and impelled probably by other consid-

agreed to defer argument until September In
the meantime, the order of the court, directing
the CITY not to proceed in the purchase remains
in force. 1t docs not, however, affect the
sellers of the property, and the Messrs. Tatnali

Fire ON r.. II. Avenue.

BURNING OF FRAME HoUsE-sUPPosED TO HAVE
CAUGHT FROM A LOCOMOTIVE.
Between one and two o'clock, this afternoon,
Just after tine New Castle passenger train had
passed out, the roof of frame house on Rail-
road Avenue, few doors East of Market street,
was discovered to be on fire.
The alarm was sounded and the fire depart
mant, as usual responded promptly, and soon
succeeded in stopping the headway Of the flames
and finally in extinguishing the flames.
The building belongs to Homer Barry, and
was occupied by family named Parry. The
extent of the loss is not definitely known. no
other damag was done, however, than the burn
ing of the roof.
1t is but justice to our iremen, to say that their
promptness in getting to the scene and the
quickness with which they worked, prevented,
doubtless, an extensive confas ration, as the fire
broke out in mass of the most infammable
material.
FALSE ALARM.
The engines and hose carriages had not yet
reached their houses on their return from the
above fire, when a second alarm called them
back This alarm was caused by q fire which
broke out in Grubb's stables, Front and Market
streets, but was extinguished before much harm
was done.
