The Salt-mines of Poland are
said to be most beautiful and ex.
tensive in the world. Visitors
walk over four miles in the long,
open galleries, and there are many
that have not been entered for
years. These galleries undermine
a whole town, and are places of
popular amusement, whore bands
play, balls are given, and refresh
ments ofall kinds may be had at
the buffet. A splendid chapel is
fitted up in one mine, where mass
is celebrated once year. The
ceiling, walls, altar, ETC., arc all
cut out of tho solid, glittering,
greenish salt.

The New York Herald does not
exaggerate the matter when it de.
clares that "such corruption and
anarchy as exist now in the South
are not only injurious to that sec
ton, not only check its progress
and material interests, and there
fore prove damaging to the bust
ness interests of the North, but
they are infectious, and must in
the end demoralize the whole re-
public. 1t is, in fact, a long step
toward Capitalization, despOtism,
and military rule. 1t is the way
in which all nations have marched
the liberties and institutions Of
which have been subverted or
overturned.

r A UNIVERSAL ARTICLE OF FAITH.-In
these days of religious contention it has
been thought impossible to indies an ar.
ticle of faith upon which ALL sects and
classes were united. There is one, howev.
er, and very noted one, too, viz: belief
which is implicit and universal in the
paramount etfica cy Of that matchless house
hold tonic and recuperant Plantation Bit
tiers. The constantly increasing patron
age which it receives has, it is true, excit-
ed the petty envy of certain splenetic ad-
vertisers of pinchbeck panaceas, who hope
to make market for their own stagnant,
watery wares, by decrying all spirituous
medicinal preparations. But the public
can stomach neither their arguments nor
their potations, and consequently reject
these very weak limitations Of the enemy
as entirely too thin

Mysteries Of the Campaign Unraveled
FRO M the New York Sum-

Some of the mysteries of the late presi.
Dental campaign are in process Of rapid
unravellng. The Sun called attention O
few weeks ago to some significant facts il
| connection with the election Of Judge Mer
rimon, the Conservative candidate for
governor of North Carolina, TO the United
States Senate, by Republican votes in thu
legislature We have now another step il
that remarkable transaction in the bring.
ing forward of Senator John Pool Of
North Carolina for cabinet appointment,
and his support by Senators Morton, Scott
and others of the inner administration
ring.
North Carolina was the first state ia
hold an election after the presidential
nominations were made. 1t was all-impor-
lance to THE, administration TO carry it,
They failed. The legislature was Con-
servative by large majority, and Mer-
rimon, the Conservative candidate for
governor, was elected but after week IS
delay, to doctor the returns, he WINS coun-
ted out. The effect was felt in Maine and
in the October states,was never counter
acted, and in the event accomplished tn G
result aimed ut, the defeat of Greeley and
the election of Grant.
The frauds by which Merrimon was
counted out were hardly denied. But
when the legislature assembled, though
he had strong case and friendly court,
he offered no contest. His law partner
was appointed solicitor-general by the
president. The senatorial election took
place John Pool was candidate for
reelection. Gov. Vance was nemina ted
by the Conservatives. There was bolt in
the Conservative ranks, and for several
days no choice. Then John Pool withdrew;
the Republicans went bodily for Merri-
mon he was elected and John Pool tele-
graphed to the president that it was a
great triumph, and had strengthened the
administration. And now John Pool is
expecting cabinet appointment, and is
supported by Morton and the ring mana
gers, who understood this whole plot from
the beginning.
One other fact Of Significance, and it
can be stated still more briefly. 1t was
absolutely necessary for the administra.
tion to carry Pennsylvania. 1t was car
ried by frauds which the friends of the
president themselves confessed were I'M
paralleled in their magnitude. Only one
man was prosecuted for illegal voting. He
was convicted and sentenced to eighteen
months Imprisonment. President Grant
pdrdoned him last tceek.
Charles Francis Adams was right when
he told Thurlow Weed that his own nemi-
nation would have made no difference in
the result. 1t made no difference who was
the candidate. The Credit Mobilier par
ty meant to carry the election. They did
1t.

Fred Douglas was Grant candidat,

greater mistake could be committed BY

CHOLERA In NASHVILLE.
The Exodus of PeOpIe-The Situation up TO
Thursday.

The Nashville Banner of Thursday
says
There was considerable exodus out of
the city yesterday, but not so many as
might have been expected, large MAORI
ty preferring to remain where they can re-
ceive speedy treatment in case of an attack.
1t is estimated that not less than 10000
people have departed the city since the 9TH
instant. The city looked very dull yester-
day, wearing the general appearance of
Sunday. 1t is the belief of many that had
5000 been spent in April in the way of
putting the city in thorough sanitary con-
dition near million dollars might have
been saved to our commerce.
There are between eighty and ninety
convicts sick at the penitentiary, the ma
jority of them with the cholera. So far
there has been only two deaths. They are
generally in good condition.
Some citizens have been compelled to
clean their premises after the imposition
of heavy penalties for their negligence
The feeling against nuisances never was
stronger, and the popular voice says all
must be abated. To place q nuisance in
front of ones premises, is now equal to q
challenge for fight
a good deal of fatality has recently re-
suited from change of physicians. A case
in point happened Tuesday. One physi-
clan was called in and prescribed. Not be-
ing satisfied however with his treatment
the friends of the patient calledin another,
whose treatment was almost entirely di-
ferent. 1t exhibited the fact that one
should not "swap horses while crossing
q stream.n
Physicians say that cholera infantum
should not be classed as cholera, as that
disease was usual to all infants teething.
Harry Boyers and G. Friedman, letter
carriers, Were Frustrated with the disease
yesterday. There are now five of the ear
riers down with the disease, including
Carr, Fuller and Lewis. The delivery of
mails on their routes have been suspended
until further notice. e..
Three colored drivers of the city scaven-
ger carts have died of cholera during the
past three days.
During the past two days hacks and car
riages have been kept constantly going to
funerals and the various cemeteries. They
have been so busily engaged that most all
the stock have been driven down.
