Important Meeting at Cincinnati for the
Erection of a Theological
Seminary.

CINCINNATI, July S.-Representatives
of about fifteen Hebrew congregations
of the west and south met in conference
here this morning. Martez 10th, of this
city, was elected permanent chairman,
presidents-Henry Adler, Cincin-
natl; A. Bloom, LOUSY ille; T. Silver
man, Chicago; D. Mayer, Charleston,
West Virginia; II. E. Stern, Peru, Indi-
ana. Secretaries-L. Levy, Cincinnati;
L. NJ. DemlUtz, Louisville. M. 10th,
in taking the chair, said that the object
of this conference was to form a union
of all the Hebrew congregations, under
whose auspices iC is contemplated
establishing a Hebrew theological insti-
tuition. He earnestly plead that the ten
commandments should be upheld with
the same reverence and high esteem as
Of olden times, and maintained that to
teach them to the rising generation, to
impress them upon their minds and en-
force them on their hearts, teachers and
ministers were needed who are convers-
ant with the language of the Lord, and
to educate such teachers he believed a
Hebrew theological institution was es-
sential. The address was well received,
and the remainder of the forenoon was
spent In appointing committees and
getting ready for work. A resolution to
form union of congregations was un8n-
imously adopted.
Ia the afternoon letters were read from
various congregations, west and south,
not able to send delegates, but favOring
the union. A resolution limiting the
union to the founding of aseminary, and
disavowIng its purpose to establish a
creed, excited opposition, and was in
definitely postponed. Another resolu-
tion, declaring the union to be for the
better discharge of the duty of Hebrews
to humanity, had the same effect, and
was laid over till tomorrow. One dele
gate is allowed for every fifty members
in congregation. Two hundred dele
gates are present. A ride in the sub
urbs and supper in the park is the pro-
gramme for tomorrow afternoon and
night.

The committee appointed by the rail-
road convention held in this city on the
third instant met at the Office of the
Planters insurance company yesterday
afternoon, and cut out some important
work. D. T. Porter, Esq, occupied the
chair, and George W. Gift was elected
permanent secretary. The following
committees were appointed: On rail-

the necessities Of the south-Minor

These gentlemen propose TO go 10 work
with a will, and get up facts and pre-
pare plans for the great convention to
be assembled here in September next.
Business men and capitalists seem to be
taking hold Of this matter in a way de-
noting esrBestness. We hope they viii
fan the fires they are just now lighting
until they glow and burn throughout the
whole country. We must have 8 big
city, and we can have it only through
the additional railroads in eontempla-
ton. Such being the fact, the great
quest ion is how to get the railroads.

LOUISVILLE, July s.-A large audi
ence assembled in Public Library hall
early this morning to witness the draw
ing connected with the third gift con-
cert. The process of drawing was ex-
planned by Colonel R. T. Durrett, presi-
dent of the board of trustees. Ali the
tickets have been sold, and the drawing
was for the full scheme, distributing half
a million dollars in cash gifts to the
tieket-holders. There are great many
people in the city from distant portions
of the country. The drawing has been
the principal topic of conversation for
some time past, and as the day ap-
preached the interest grew more intense,
until it absorbed almost every other
subject. Yesterday and last night the
offices of the several agents who had
tickets for sale were crowded with pur-
chssers, the supply at headquarters be-
ing exhausted. At the opening of the
hall at six O'Clock this morning a large
crowd was already in waiting at the
door, which grew into perfect jam in
the hall. By nine O'Clock number of
leading citizens and officials of the city
were on the stage. As the drawing pro-
gressed the greatest interest was mani
tested, and the announcement of the
larger prizes greeted with applause. The
following numbers drew prizes of one
thousand dollars and upward:

THE CHOLERA.

It is subject for congratulatiOn that
the chOlera has almost wholly disap-
peared from Memphis, there being only
three cases reported for the last twenty
four hours. With a continuance of the
present weather we may reasonably ex-
pect it will die out the present week, and
that we will be able to announce that
even sporadically the so-called y has
no existence here.
1t has, we are glad to be able to say,
cessed altogether in Nashville. The
telegraph elsewhere announces the graf
flying fact that not a single case
has been reported for forty-eight
hours. In Lebanon, Gallatin, Green
vile, Chattanooga, and other
towns and cities of the State
where it has ragged most violently, it is
disappearing rapidly, and we hope to be
able to announce its total disappearance
from Tennessee, within few days.
In other States it still maintains a
foothold. But thoroughly aroused by the
fearful experiences of East and Middle
Tennessee, ,thecommunities afflicted by it
have managed to confine il within mar
row limits by timely sanitary reguls-
lions, such as John johnson refused to
give Memphis until we had lost so
many lives that the public at last COM
peIJed action in the appointment of
hnarEi of health.

The capital prize was not drawn till
half-past six in theevening, and created
an immense sensation, the entire au-
dience rising to their feet and applaud
ing. The same scene occurred, slightly
modified, with the drawing of the other
prizes. Colonel r. t. Durrett, presi-
dent Of the public library, said, in a
speech TO the audience, that with the
funds derived from the present concert
payment for the magnificent building
we occupy viii be completed, and it
and rental, amounting to about thirty
thousand dollars per annum, will be do
mated for the purposes Of free public
library, museum and kindred depart
ments. He also said when the present
concert is over we shall issue the pro-
granme Of another, which will be
the grandest of the kind the
world ever knew, and it viii
startle nations by its magnitude, and
will be so arranged that every fifth
ticket-holder win be bound to draw a
gift. We shall give no less than twelve
thousand cash gifts, amounting in the
aggregate to one million and half dol
lars in money. The capital gift viii be
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
This scheme viii secure a free library
and museum in our city which will
eclipse all on this continent and rival
some Of the century-grown collections
Of the old world. We have a library
containing some forty thousand vol
umes, while the museum contains no less
than a quarter of million specimens,
and gallery Of art containing several
hundred pictures, statues, busts, etc,
which are open every day and night for
the free use and enjoyment Of every
body, but we want TO increase these col
lecti0ns to many times their present
number, open an academy Of design and
establish reading-room filed with the
leading papers and periodicals of the
world, and make this the finest in the
United States, where each season a
course Of lectures by the most eminent
scholars Of the age may be delivered at
our cost and free to The people. o. A.
