an intensity capable of spreading

of the city, and if neglected streets,
filthy alleys and corners, tenements
reeking with dirt and Offal, sewers
filled with noisome smells, and an en-
tire neglect of everything calculated to
purify and cleanse, be doing full duty
then our city authorities deserve high

doing here you may thank our mag
mates for it, as prompt, vigorous
measures would have stamped the
out of existence a week ago
We can but hope our Ohio towns may
be spared. Cholera began here among
the negroes, who ate stale fruits and
was very fatal. But now it is carry
ing of many of the better class of
whites who seem to have lived in con-

The amount of Idres paid by Rail-
roads in Belmont County is as follows:
Missouri is one of the States in which


the Liberals" triumphed last fall
They have had fair chance, there, to
demonstrate their capacity to carry on
a government, and the result is not
complimentary 10 them. The Treasu-
ry of the State is bankrupt, and the
prospect of fresh supplies is poor and
discouraging one. The obligations Of
the State are maturing, and there are
no funds to meet them, and no means
at hand for obtaining any. The Cover
nor has disappointed every one in
choosing his officers, and disrule and
misrule appear to prevail throughout.
Weare not surprised, therefore, to hear
that the Germans who were inveigled
into the Liberal" movement are dis
contented, dissatisfied and uneasy. Let
them come back to the Republican
party, where they properly belong
The Liberal" movement was u hum
bug and imposture from the start. 1t
held out vast promises that could not
be fulfilled, and its followers mistook
pretentiousness for craftsmanship
They are finding out their error, now,
and as fast as that is discovered, ''Lib-
eralism'' will vanish away.

APPLEGATE HOUSE, CLEAR LAKE,
June $3.50 p. MA series of prolOng-

ter the departure Of my last courier.
General Davis, Gen. Wheaton and 9TH

the house and tents to find the cause of
the uprOar, and at once the whole camp
was in cOmmotiOn. Down the level
plain north of the house was a grand
cavalcade of mounted hOrsemen. The
s:eeds rushed forward at once at a furi-
GUS rate, and soon neared the groups oil
spectators scattered about the premi-

The mounted command was that of
Perry. He had returned from q scout

the mouth of Willow Creek, at half
past ten O'Clock this morning, the
Warm Spring scouts struck "a hot
trail" After brief search the Mo-
docs were discovered, and Col. Perry
the Indian retreat. His
men were bound to fight.
Suddenly Modoc shot out from the
rocks with a white flag. He met q

to surrender. Three scouts

green bay tree, and your able and tai
ented correspondent was forced to ex
claim in the language of the tearfu
Jeremiah, "Oh, Lord, why do the
wicked sin and prosper. They stink
in my nostrils and yet thou visiteth
them not with judgment" Gamblers
took one side of High street, and pros.
titutes walked in sweet unmOlested.
ness on the other. Young members OF
the Legislature from the Rural dis
tricts come up here and are swept into
the whirlpools of sin and lost. Two OF
them having had snakes in their boots
at two of the prominent hotels during
the winter. There was perfect carni-
val of sin and no person to stretch out
the strong hands of interference and
say $50 far shalt thou go and no
further" But a change has come o'er
the spirit of our dreams. Luther Dom
aldson wanted to. be the Republican
Mayor, but failed of an election. He
became peevish. Because he couldn't
be Mayor himself, he was seized with
a desiie to rob that office of all its
power. He went to that bold bad
man, Senator John Thompson, and had
him sneak Columbus into the prOvi-
sions of the Metropolitan police act
which passed the Legislature last win
ter. Luther, who lacks the eminent
piety which distinguished the celebrat-
ed German reformer, was appointed
one of the Police Commissioners. Now
comes reform, sweeping, complete,
stringent. The gambling hells are all
closed and hung in mourning. The
click of the faro chip is muffled. The
patrons of these places now make their
ingress and exit by the back doors and
alley entrances. The Mayor has issued
a proclamation closing up all secular
Institutions on Sunday, Jew clothing
stores, barber shops. gin mills, every
hing. Even the State Journal, under
,he proclamation will not be able to get
,ut its Monday morning edition unless
it gets permission from the Cincinnati
Gazette, for preventing smoke from
coming out of its stack on Sunday af-

CORRESPONDENCE.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., May %, 1873.
DEAR CHRONICLE:
Memphis, seemingly, has peculi-
arity for having and organizing first
class sensations at almost any season of
the year, and to a superior degree in
comparison with very many of her
sister cities. Prior to the war the
greatest steamboat explosions occur
ring ON the Mississippi River were
here. 1t was here, during the war,
where over eighteen hundred Union
Soldiers were sunk upon one boat
through the almost criminal stupidity
of General Dana. Since the war, riots
on larger scale, more shooting col
lisions, etc., ETC., have been placed to
our credit than any other town of same
size in the country. Just now, after a
heavy scourge of epizootic-loss of
trade and business from that, small
pox, and the fuel failure of the winter,
pure, genuine Asiaticc cholera has made
Its appearance, and adds another page
TO our chapter of sensations. At first
the medical profession derided the idea
But now that each physi-
clan has had more or less of cases ter
minating in sudden death and exhi ibit-
ing all the characteristics of cholera,
their scepticism has given way, and
all without exception acknowledge its
presence.
While the disease has not assumed
an epidemic form, yet the attacks are
not now confined to the suburbs and
negroes, but are gradually making
their appearance in the better portions
of the city.
On Friday morning last / had busi-
ness with a gentleman and on Sunday
at 5 o'clock he was dead, af-
ter sickness Of twelve hours dura-
ton. The attending physician who
has had extensive experience with
cholera assured me that he was unable
to distinguish between the exhibitions
in this particular case and that Of the
epidemic years ago. OF nine cases of
negroes four died, one 80 quickly that
he was unable to administer remedy.
and in all the form of disease was un-
that Of cholera. Whether
we shall have cholera here us an cpl.
iemic, which will sweep the city will
soon be determined. The authorities!

The Japanese Mission.

The Cincinnati Gazette in comment
ing upon the recent change in the jap
anese Mission says that there is general
regret among the American residents
of japan over the removal of our Min
lister, Mr.. De Long. His acquaintance
with and relations to the natives SEEM
ed to render his longer stay peculiarly
desirable. Our government has DEEM
ed it bast to make a change, however,
and this having been done, it would
have been hard to find a man of better
intellectual qualifications than the
Hon. John A. Bingham, The new ap-
pointee.z The trust is a peculiarly re-
sponsible one. japan is in a transition
state from sort of medieval feudallsm
to "a conformity with the spirit of the
age. 1le japanese are proud, iras-
chile people, and yet are very apprecia-
tive of kindness. They are to be dealt
with kindly, cautiously and intelligent
ly. Our country was the first to break
down the wall of non-intercourse be-
hind which the Japanese had secluded
themselves, and the transaction was
one which could not be made to as
sumo a wholly pacific character. New
ertheIess, the japanese have shown a
marked partiality for the United States
and every pains should be used to
strengthen this friendship. We claim
to be pioneers in the practice and in
culcatiOn of the greatest religious and
political freedom, combined with the
most perfect obedience to law. We are
thus more than enterprising claimants
for large share of trade with Japan;
we are missionaries in no sectarian or
restricted sense, the ENJOYS of liberty,
humanity, and morality, the fittest
counselors of State newly awakened
to all that is progressive. "A man of
Mr.. Bingham's $ rare ability will have
every opportunity in his high office to
strengthen the ties which bind us to
Japan, 10 assist the islanders in their
onward march, and to add to the ldur-
els which he has won in his long and
brilliant congressional career.
