TOUCHING the new movement in Louis
lana movement, Attorney General Williams
is reported TO have said che was not pre-
pared to give an opinion on the action of
this committee, rthe character of their re-
solutions. He thinks there is some Interior
object in them, and is disposed to wait for
further developments-a dispatch, for in
stance, from Governor Kellogg. On the
whole, the Attorney General is of opinion
that the best thing the people of Louisiana
and of the South generally can do is to
mind their own business and let politics
alone" That is about as supercilious treat
ment as the McEnery committee received
from this "Oregon lawyer" last winter. On
the contrary, the Philadelphia Press, de-
cided administration journal, says of the
resolutions: "More manly and bold utter
ances were never adopted by political
body in this country, certainly not at the
South. They breathe an earnest and pro-
gressive spirit of reconciliation that would
almost sound strange coming from a 'Rad-
ical' club or Faneuil Hall meeting in olden
time" The bigoted partisan sticks out in
every thing Williams says or does.

FOOL OR KNAVE?

Gen. John f. Mosby, of Virgins, has
grown into sort of sel:imp Jrtance that is
really amusing. For instance, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes, June 10:
k"Col. Mosby has again been interviewed,
and is represented as having said that he
desires to win the Conservatives of Virgin
Ia over to the Administration: that Gen.
Grant agrees with his [Mosby's1 policy,
thou the Radicals are opposed to it; that
Grant is the Sblest mau in America, that
be will stump the State fer Grants third
term, that he will take no part in the ensu-
ing gubernatorial election; favors ex-Gov.
Wise or MIR. Lyons, and so does Grant; and
that he Mosby1 is an Administration Con-
sentative, and is eternally opposed to car
pet bsggers and plunderers."
The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette represents Mosby as
saying:
"Gen. Grant has been liberal in appoint
ing his friends TO Office, and has done it to
show his earnest desire TO conciliate the
people Of the Sonth. He has secured from
the President appointments for some Of the
best officers and men under his late COM
mand, and in his (Mosbys) opinion, there
never can be genuine reconstruction uhtil
the Federal offices in the South are filed
with men who at same time are true to the
national Government, and also to the people
Of their own State. He thinks the Conser-
vstive party en- masse ought to go over to
Grant, and, in his opinion, four years from
now Grant will be the candidate of the
white Southern people for President"
Because he has turned fool or knaye,
Mosby affects to believe that the people of
toe South generally will follow his example
But be will find that they are not SO easily
led TO kiss the hand that is continually
shifting them. His pratiRg about Grants
friendship for the South, after his action in
the Louisiana matter, is simply silly.

ABOUT PRUPAGATING CHOLERA

ADVOA EAOFAUANAN0 ChOLEhA
We have in previous number of this pa
pers copie a paragraph from the address of
the President of the American Public
Health Association. and added words of
commendation. 1t is how our duty to crit
icise the following remarks in its Circular:
ats progress 1.-THE cholera] from New Or
leans 10 Memphis and Nashville has been
rapid, and is significant of its onward ten
dency. That it is being propagatcd as in
former visits by the excremental discharges
of persons affected by the choleratic poison,
aided by local causes, is as true now as in
the former visitationts."
Is there any evidence to warrant the be-
lief that the cholera that prevails in this
city was brought from New Orleans to
Memphis, and thence to Nashville? If so,
who has the evidence? These gentlemen
assert that the epidemic is "being propa
gated by the excremental discharges of per-
sons affected by the coleratic poison" This
may be so; but is there any proof that ex-
cremental discharges in this city has had
any connection with the mslady in Greene
vile or elsewhere in this State? Such a
theory is not in harmony with the facts as
they exist. The spread of the germs OF
cholera requires no such assumptions, no
moro than the wide diffusion of the germs
of red rust on wheat aud cotton. The doc
tors have not studied sufficiently the vitali-
tY of cholera.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
reported to have adopted a rule in refer
eDce to the sale of merchandise on its cars,
which cannot fail to meet with the approx
al of the travelling public, and ought also to
be adopted by every other railroad in the
country. No articles are allowed to be sold
by the peddiers, who periodically invade
the trains during their transit from one
point TO another, that will injure the cloth
ing Of the passengers, neither are these
commercial travellers permitted to offer their
candies, fluits, books, etc, in manner
calculated to annoy, in any degree, those
whose patronage is solicited. This regula-
ton is an admirable one, and if properly
executed will relieve travellers Of many an
noyances to which they are now subjected.

not likely to be SO any long r, and p;obably
its use develops disease more or less IN
winter as well as summer. The unwhole-
someness of wells and cisterDs in crowded
cities, Is generally recognized. Natural
springs are subject to the same Influences
Pure water ought TO be as free as air;
God made II so.
a, 1t is evident that the hordes of ne
groes who crowd the filthy heVels in the
lowlsnds furnish most of the fuel con-
sumed by the epidemic. Their unhealthy
location is intensified by poverty, self neg
lect, the lack of needful attention when at
tackej, and the horrible panic that prevails
among this uneducated class.
{ g.. We canuot omit from list Of prob
able causes the element of fear itself. Our
candid opinion is, not that Nashville is the
sickliest city in the West, but that 1t is The
most escary." One great re son for this is
that we have a very large proportion OF
population in independent circumstances,
who can run away whenever they choose,
and vino are in the habit of spending their
summers at,rural retreats every year. The
scare in 1866 was not rear so great as the
present, the epidemic then developing in
August while this large class were abroad,
and simply delaying their return. But COM
ing so early this year, we have had the great
annual exodus crowded into few days, all
going at once, and thus demoraliziug fearful
ly those that remain. Those who go, just be-
cause they can, of course magnify the dan
gers that incite them, and urge their friends
and acquaintances to do likewise by all
means; those who are gone write back be-
seeching letters to relatives to come ont
from this city of destruction. And so the
deadly game goes on: the disease breeding
panic, and the panic multiplying the disease.
When Nashville becomes great industri-
GUS, manufacturing city-when our capital
lists own mills and factories in whose con-
ii ued operation they are interested-when
every man has something to do and some
thing to think of besides propagating ru-
mors this source of scare will be materially
diminished. But now, we are commercial
or nothing; this is the dull season with
merchants; and so the crowd of flying re-
fugees is multiplied, scattering sup er1uous
terrors in all directions.
