CHOLERA NOTES.

The news from JonesbOro grows more
and more favorable day after day. Only
one death-that Of a negro woman-oc-
CURED Wednesday night, and up to noon
yesterday no Others were reported. The
cases that remain are of very mild
nature, and the few new cases that are
developed from time to time are easily
manageable. Intelligence of a very se-
we're case of cholera at Rogersville juno
ton was brought by the noon train yes
terday-that of an engineer named
Drane, on the Rogersville branch rail-
road. His condition early yesterday
morning was pronounced very critical.
A report reached the city yesterday that
the cholera in violent form has reap
peared in Chattanooga, and that much
excitement prevails there. The mayor
has issued a proclamation prohibiting
the sale of melons and all vegetables ex-
cept tomatoes and potatoes. Though the
rumor Is apparently well-founded IN fact.
yet We trust it is incorrect, and that
Chattanooga may not suffer from a sec
ond visitation of the scourge. Il RnorUilIe

When, How, What For, and Who Got
the Money?

WASHINGTON. August 10.-There
is only one question connected with the
Virginius which is considered of suffi-
cient importance to justify an examina-
ton, namely: whether that vessel was,
about two years ago, sold to one of the
South American republics, as stated at
that time. If so, the Virginius is Low
sailing under papers Of the United
States, to which she has no right, and
for which OfIense she would be liable to
capture by our own authorities.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT,

By very singular accident Conductor
Campbell, of the South and North-Bend
road, came within trifle of losing his
life, at six o'clock yesterday morning.
The mail-agent on the road had been
using small pocket-knife, which, when
he had done with it, he laid upon his
table half-elosed and with the blade
pointing upward. A little while after
ward the conductor entered the car, and
being fatigued, doubtless by his labors
during the night, threw himself languid-
ly down upon the table In such a man
ner that the upturned blade entered his
right side near the heart, up to the very
handle, say two inches. He sprang up

CHANGE OF GAUGE.

We learn from a reliable and undoubt-
ed source that Colonel A. S. Buford,
president of the Richmond and Dam
vile railroad, has called special meet
ing of the directors of the North Carolina
railroad, to take place at the company's
shops in this city. While it is not GER
tainly known what the real object of the
meeting is, yet it is currently reported
that Colonel Buford will surrender the
lease of the North Carolina road which
was made to the Richmond and Dan
vile railroad, and thus put an end to
the litigation now going on touching the
legality of the lease and the right of the
Richmond and Danville road to change
the gauge of the North Carolina road
from Greensboro to Charlotte. This act
of the president of the Richmond and
Danville road, If the report turns out to
be true, cuts the gordian knot which our
judicial officers have not yet unraveled.

DEATH FROM A BLOW WITH A STONE.
Monday last, election day at Elk
Spring precinct in this county, number
of men drank whisky to intoxication.
A quarrel arose between William Beck
ham and a Mr.. Lowell about a horse
swap. Joseph Shives became involved
in the quarrel, and was shot by Beck
ham in the wrist. w. d. Larke, being
drunk, was quite boisterous, threatening
to shoot some one. Archie Howard, the
constable, undertook to arrest him, and
seized him, when Larke drew his pocket
knife and inflicted with it two somewhat
serious wounds on Howard. The con-
stable then pushed Larke away from
him, whereupon Larke made at him
with his knife, when Frank NJ. Wright,
who was aiding the officer, pitched a
heavy rock at Larke, with a view to i'm
peding or stopping his plunge at How
ard. The rock hit Larke in the fore
head, telling him to the ground. From
the effects of this blow Larke died the
following morning at eight O'Clock, de-
spite skillful medical attendance

and we give below what may be con.
sidered an authoritative answer. A gen.

to the comptroller propounding the fol.

care county warrants bought up by
shavers taxable?
HSecOnd-Are county warrants in the
hands of individuals to whom they are

"Third-Apply the same question in
regard to comptroller's warrants, and

To all of which the comptroller an.

A GEORGIA paper extols the Southern
live oak for ship building. Vessels
built of this timber are almost indie
structiSle. 1t has all the qualities OF
the iron wood OF Borneo, which turns
axes, and is almost impossible TO fell.
These live oak trees are SO hard as al,
most to turn the edge of the keenest
axe. To drive a nail into one Of them
is well nigh impossible. Aud even
when Frustrated by the hurricane and
deeply embedded in the yielding coil o
the coast, they seem impervious to time
and the attri,ion OF the elements. They
remain bleaching upon the earth just as
they fell generations ago. For ship
building no material can compare with
this description Of timber.

TIE Chicago Times. discussing the
prohibition movement, says: "Govern'
ment is not the authority to decide.
Government is not the interpreter Of
liberty. Justic is that interpreter, and
justice is the offspring OF the law Of
equity, which tells us that the only
rightful limit to the liberty OF any man
be he tippling.house fanatic or temper
ance fanatic, is the equal liberty of all
men. This is the best European and
the best American idea OF liberty which
will no. concede to government any
right OF positively regulative interfer-
ence with mems private conduct, but
which maintains that the whole duty
of government is to guard individual
liberty and enforce individual response
bility according to the equity; that lie,
for the general good"

The farmers OF Polk county, Iowa
held convention recently, and among
other things resolved: "That the action
of the members of Congress, increasing
their own salaries. was highly dishon-
orable, and all members OF either Con-
gress who have accepted or shall &C
cept, appropriate or cause to be appro-
priated, this extra salary to any pur-
pose except to its rightiul place in the
United States Treasury, deserve our se-
verest censure, and prove themeelves

CoMMENr1Ne on the dullness of trade.

COMMENTING on the dullness OF trade,
the Shoe and Leather Reporter says:
Now here is just where the difficulty
lies. We have little or no market tor
our productions outside our own conn-
try. Our manufacturers acknowledge,
by their acts at least, that they cannot
compete with England and continent Of
Europe, even, with the advantage OIL
machinery, and go but little effort is
made to overcome the prestige obtained
by European trade in supplying even
the foreign markets which lie almest
at our own door, not taking into &C.
count the advantages which would nat
uIally accrue through our direct COM
muuication with the Japanese and Chi
nese empires now being opened to the
trade OF the world. There is no doubt
that foreign market will have 10 be
found, and that at no very distant day
Our own country cannot consume more
than half Of the amount that could be
manufactured, and those who carry on
the business are aware Of the fact.

IT is said that fifteen thousand per-
sons have visited EDWARD s. Stokes
since bis confinement in the Tombs.
In fact he has held on certain days
quite series OF levees. Upon the news
of the granting Of new trial two hum
bred persons called upon him with their
congratulations. The other murderers
confined with him are said 10 rejoice at
his respite-s selfish joy, probably, as
it seems to strengthen their chances Of
escape through the laws technicalities
and delays. AZ we eaid before, we do
not dispute the justice Of the final der
c,sion. If the man is executed, let him
be executed by a fair, legal trial and
conviction. The damaging fact is that
the law, after two years endeavor, has
not brought most notorious and brutal
murderer to the scaffold. And why 2
Nixon was hanged for the want, as he
himself said, "of three Thousand dol
lars" Foster was hanged. Stokes
still lives, and chats and jokes with his
friends; wants speedy trial, and eager.
ly desires to give bail. The inference
drawn by the general public will be
apt to be that Of the New York Herald,
given below. Says the Herald:
The ghosts Of Nixon and Reynolds
rise up to reproach US. Had they money
to fee lawyers beyond the rating Of the
Police Courts, who can tell that they
would not to-day have been receiving
congratulatory visits from their friends
in the lower wards upon decisions OF
of the Court Of Appeals granting new
trials. 1t is a theory OF q republican
government that there is one law for
rich and poor alike, but we must con-
fess without any slur upon our Judicia'
~, that its loop holes have golden keys.
