ELIzABETHTowN, July 14.-Chol-
era has at last made its appearance
hers Il first broke out among the
colOred people living on Race alley,
in the tenement houses owned by
Mr.. Bryant. The main Cause of it
starting there Is attributed to the
uncle8n condition in which the
premises were and the large number
of persons crowded into those small
houses. The first death occurred Oh
the sth, since which time five more
deaths have OcCurred--all ColOred
excepting one, which was the wife
of Mr.. James Emmett who died
Sunday night At the present time
no new cases are reported and it is
thought that the disease will not be
likely to spread here.
Our board of trustees has ordered
those premises cleared and had them
thoroughly disinfected, and no fear
is entertained by our people of the
disease becoming general.

AnIncisive Companion.

This is the way the leader of the
womau's reform party movement
puts the case anew:
Suppose some one should take a
beautiful thoroughbred horse, with
a slim body and fine rounded, form.
twist up it name tightly on the top
of its head, and fasten to it live
pounds of hair and with fifty hair
pins; put a dozen blankets over and
around it so that it could not stem
without coming in contact with
them; put belts around its body so
tight that full breathing and circu-
lation of the blood are impossible and
vital organs are pressed out of their
natural position; and then take il TO
the race-cOuTse TO run beside y
strong, heavy-built horse. with no
impeachment but its weight. Then
if he should say: Nonsense, absurdI
that horse is out of its sphere: take
it back to the stable; il is only fit Ia
raise colts would you not say thai
such a man was an idiot or insane?n

BEAUREGARD.

A number of Tennessee newspa-
pers are abusing Gen. Beauregard
for his course in proposing to divide
offices with and admit the negroes
in Louisiana to hotels and cars and
other public places. Considering
how wisely we acted in TENNESSEE,
to get our hands out Of the lions
mouth, Tennesseans ought to be &
little more charitable in their criti-
cisms and just put themselves in the
places of those poor doWn-trodden
Louisianians. 1t smacks very Ike
the kettle calling the pot black
Beauregard's course is statesman
like in taking a straight shoot out
of the woods. 1t may be very he
roic, in the opinion of some, to lay
on their backs, and appeal to the
Resolutions of '9S to get them out
of their misery, but it would be like
calling "spifits from the vastly
deep" Abstractionists may be very
honest in their principles, but they
are usually very mprHCtlCaDtS-4ss
leaders. The South has been cursed
with them, especially since the close
of the war. They have led us into
all of our troubles and prevented
sensible, practical men from extri-
eating us from the mire in which
we were floundering. They are
eternally prating of principle, in
stead of taking any and all means
to get themselves on their feet
They lie on the ground in the mud
trampled by negroes and carpet
baggers, spit at and reviled, and cry
for the Virginia and kentucky Res
olutions and Tom jefferson, as if
the dead old statesman in his grave
could come to their aid and remove
Grant and his bayonets. Out upon
such pulling craftsmanship! Beaa-
regard has struck the right track.
He will be the Moses to lead the
Louisianians out of their degrade
ton and we applaud his sense and
his pluck.
The whole matter in a nutshell is
this. The Constitution of Louisi-
ana guarantees equal rights to all
colors in all public places and con-
veyances. There is no evading it.
The carpet-baggers rule the State
and the obstinacy of the impracti-
cables has driven the negroes into
al uhhdbUI d COdAAllOh VIII IlIGLA'
Beauregard wisely proposes to d.
vide the public offices with the
eolored people, to detach them from
their alliance and govern the State,
and Beauregard is right. All of the
talk about social equality is bosh.
That regulates itself in all countries
and is above all law, and there is no
sense in worrying ourselves about
that. No man is compelled to have
any one at his table, or in his house,
or to associate with him at hotel,
or in car, or to marry any of his
family to a negro, or a Chinee, or a
Malay, or any one else.

the farmers, want no reader in
struments, no more willing tools 10
execute their mandates than the
demagogues who now appear in
the garb Of the flock, but who
when this garb is removed, as it will
be, will prove themselves ravenOus,
merciless wolves. Their exterior Is
fair to look upon, but in their hearts
they are enemies to farmers, enemies
TO honesty, friends of corruption,
and will prove trescherOus to their
professions.

In the Ohio Penitentiary.

COLUMBUS, July 14.-Cholera has
broken out among the convicts in
the Penitentiary. Up to this time
five cases are reported, and two have
resulted fatally. One Of the fatal
CAGES was that of Thomas J. Law
renee, OF Bucyrus, an old man OF
seventy, who had been in poor
health for years. The other was
Samuel Behn, a lifetime convict

A SURE REMEDY.
Asiatic Cholera in China.

TUNGCHOW, China, Aug. ., 1866.
Messrs. PERRY DAVIS a. son:
Dear Sirs-During a long residence in
China, / have used your invaluable Pain
Killer. both in my own family and among
the Chinese, and have found IL a most ex-
cellent medicine. In the summer OF 80 and
90, while residing in shanghai, found IL
an almost certain cure for Cholera, If used
in time. Indeed, using IL in a great many
instances, do not remember falling in
single case. For three years have been
residing In this place, more than fifty miles
from a physician, and have been obliged
20 fall upon my own resources in cases OF
sickness. The Chinese come 20 us in great
numbers for medicine and advice. Though
without medical knowledge ourselves, the
few simple remedies we can command are
sOmuch in advance even OF their physicians,
that we have almost daily applications. We
allow them to come, because II brings US in
contact with them and opens door TO use
fulness. In diarTb9a, collie, vomiting,
cholera, coughs, &c. your Pain Killer has
been my chief medicine.
Yours, very truly,
T. P. CRAWFORD.

a FLORENCE LEGEND.-The fol-
lowing legend relates how a certain
Grand Duke of Florence built a
bridge without expense to the State:
The Grand Duke issued a procla-
nation that every beggar who
would appear in the grand plaza at
a certain designated time should be
provided with new suit of clothes
free of cost. 1.-THE appointed hour,
the beggars of the city, all assem-
bled, whereupon the officers caused
each avenue of the public square to
be closed, and then compelled the
beggars to strip off their clothes and
gave to each one according to prom
Use, new suit. In the old clothes
thus collected enough money was
found concealed to build a beauti-
full bridge over the ArnO, still called
the begs Rrs' bridge.

c5T The Dyersburg Progress -
which sometimes progresses like a
crab-doubtless speaks from its
own experience, in the following
sentences, which we clip from its
issue of the 10th inst:
cit is a fact that may not have
been generally noticed, that the
large majority of newspapers of the
present time understand it to be
their duty to uphold to the last day
the position they may have taken,
whether they be convinced of falla-
.cy or not. 1t may appearSto them a
duty, or 1t may seem an abandon
ment of all manly pride to vacate a
position once taken up"
After thus relieving itself the
same paper further says:
1--WE are led to these remarks bv
the course of the Memphis Ava
lanche, the Jackson Wing and Tri-
bune, and other papers of less sig
niticancc, towards the assessment
and funding bills passed bv the last
Legislature. They drolled out their
protests against the passage of these
bills before they were passed, and
after they had become laws, these
papers still kept up their drawing
opposition to them simply because
NJ was their position" and surely
not because they were yet too blind
TO see that the two bills were ucces-
sary, and that they could not be
much improved. Can either of
these papers offer reasonable cN-
cuse for the great noise they are
making for the repeal of these laws?
Could either of them draft better
assessment law? Would either of
them he unwise enough to think
funding bluuder? Who can think
this OF intelligent papers like those
mCutiOued?'
The WING AND tribune, speak
ing for itself, is of the opinion that
ii could draft better assessment
law than the one now before the
peoplc-and needn't half try at that.
In regard TO the conundrum wheth-
er We would "be unwise enough TO
think the present funding law a
blundcr," we say very decidedly
now, as we have said from the be-
ginning, that we think it is blum
der, if not n crime.
But seriously; has it come to
this, that it is an evidence Of
a want of wisdom to call in ques-
ton the acts of our public servants?
We maintain that the assessment
law was "bungle" of the very
worst kind, and the funding bill is
of the same piece of recklessness
and Stupiditv.
