TIE CITY HEALTH.-There have been
three or four deaths In the city within as
many days with symptoms closely resem.
bling cholera, though the physicians arc
divided IN opinion as to whether they
were genuine cholera or severe cholera
mOrbus. Those cases have naturally
created some comment and given rise to
much rumOr and exaggGratiOn. Wepre'
sume a report OF each case, as in other
cities, is made by the attending physician
to the Health Officer; and we suggest that
it would tend to quiet rather than excite
the public apprehension il that officer
would furnish daily report OF cholera
cases, or deaths from cholera, II any oc'
cur, TO the daily. papers. In tho absence
OF such information the facts are sure to
be much exaggerated and perhaps alarm
created Tor which there is no real occa-
sion.
In this connection ii cannot be amlss To
remind both citizens and physicians Of the
vital importance in all cases where cholera
ia even suspected, of seeing that all dis
charges Of the patient arc thoroughly dis
injected. II this Is unIailingly attended
to, tLerc is little danger Of the disease
spreading. In cases of dlarrhea before a

Ir has been suggested that the ruling
of the Supreme Court in the PenitenIisry
Case furnishes a solution Of problem
that has long puzzled the Democracy Of
this city, viz What to do to get the
sherifAlty OF this county into Democratic
hands. The people have persistently re-
fused to place 1t there but now the court
has opened up way for the Legislature
to doit. That body has only to annex "
Il to some office In reliable orthodox
hands. For example il the Supreme
Court should appoint the editor Of the
Register clerk Of that august tribunal
aud II they do not after the service he has
rendered them, we shall conclude that
Republics arc destitute of gratitude-the
Legislature might "annCx" the Sheriff
atty to him. This would be a cosy little
arrangement, and with due amount Of
addition, division, &c." itmight be
made TO contribute to the Democratic ex'
chequer in this county, which, sad TO
relate, Is Just now at lew ebb.
