A seoundreI and . Tooth PulIer.

A sufferer writes to the Sunday Her
aid, of Indianapolis, and complains OF q
quack dentist who recently come there
and took a large number Of orders for
good, sets of teeth at one dollar q set
His trade was lively and he "ysnked'
every old snag on the street, leaving q
large number of the residents toothless'
and, getting the money informed them
that several days would have to elapse
before they could wear the new teeth
as he would be obliged to make them,
and then he wanted their gums to get
well. For week they ate nothing but
cruel and spoon vituals, vainly looking
for the tooth carpenter. As he failed
to put in an appearance one old lark
became impatient, and whitfield set Of
teeth out OF pine board, and put them
in, but the first drink Of whisky he took
set fire to them, and before he could
spit them out the flames and turpen:
tine ran down his throat and kille d
him. All of which goes to prove that
the cheapest is not always the best.

THx' Constitutional Convention in
Pennsylvania is having almost as much
trouble in determining upon the mode
of voting in popular elections as were
experienced in this State. A PROPOSE
ton to require the name of the voter to
be endorsed on the back ofhis ballot
came very near adoption, but in it's
stead i. was agreed that the number OF
the ballot in the order ofits reception
shsuld be marked upon it before its de"
posit in the box. A poll book is
kept in which the names Of the voters
ia recorded in the order Of their voting.
A number is set opposite each name
and this number is marked upon the
ticket. By this means,
although the secrecy OF the
ballot is virtually destroyed. it is easy
to detect and reject the illegal votes.
If is found that JOHN SMITH who was
the 94th man to vote was not duly
qualified, the ballot "9T is rejected
from the court, no question being raised
as to the legality OF the other votes cast.
This system will doubtless have the
effect of diminishing the number OF
contested elections by doing away with
the notorious abuse of rejecting the
vote of an entire precinct because Of
the admission Of few illegal ballots.
It seems almost impossible in this age
of fraud to preserve the secrecy of the
ballot and its purity at the same
time. There is too much
lust for office; too great anxiety to en-
joy not only the legitimate rewards but
also the opportunities for plunder which
Office affords; to render men content to
abide by the free and unbiased judg-
ment OF the people as expressed at
perfectly fair and secret election. But
if it be necessary to sacrifice secrecy in
order to secure the proper recording Of
the popular will, we believe it ls better
to make the ballot as open as the Penn
sylvania Convention contemplates than
to submit to the frauds which seem inr
separable from the former system.

MEMPHIS, June 4.-For the past ten

physicians as cholera morbus, or mala-

alarm was felt until yesterday, when
physicians generally agreed that it was
cholera, some CHASING it sporadic,
and others Asiatic. Thus far its raw

the absence OF an organized Board OF
Health. It is difficult to estimate the

Reminiscence or the John Brown
Raid.

"Reminiscences or the John Brown
Raid.
Everything connected with the late
Chief Justice Chase becomes Of peculiar
interest now that we have seen and
heard the last Of the dead jurist. And
when any new developments are made
bringing such historic characters al
John Brown and Chief Justice Chase
into juxtaposition, new interest is added
When the John Brown raid occurred
Salmon P. Chase was Governor OF Ohio
Pending the execution OF Brown and
his companions, Governor Wise, ol
Virginia, was led to spprehend an in
vasion OF armed men from Ohio, for the
rescue OF the prisoners, and wrote Gov.
Chase a letter, apprising him Of his sp'
prehensions, and notifying him ths,
necessity may compel US (Virginians)
10 pursue invaders OF our Jurisdiction
into yours"
The answer OF Gov. Chase is commu-
ncated to a Northern paper by Rev.
II. B. Ridgaway, who states that he
obtained the original letter from Fed
eral soldier. soon after the capture Of
Richmond. 1t is as follows:
STATE OF OHIO,
E1EcUrIvs DEPARTMENT.
COLUMBUS, Dec. lst, 1859.
".Sr Your letter OF the 25th ult.,
post marked Goth, together with copy
OF one OF the same date, addressed by
you to tn. President, was received yes
terday. No intelligence other than that
contained in these letters has reached
me OF any such preparations az are
described in them, and the letters them
selves convey no such information in
respect TO place or persons as is neces-
sary to enable the authorities Of this
State, in the absence OF other intelli-
gence, 10 interpose with any certainty
or effect. Whenever it shall be made
to appear either by evidence transmit
ted BY you or otherwise, that unlawful
combinations are being formed by any
persons or at any place in Ohio, for the
invasion OF Virginia, or for the com.
mission OF crimes against her people, it
will undoubtedly become the duty OF
the Executive to use whatever power he
may possese; and that duty. it need not
be doubted, will be promptly performed.
II observe with regret an intimation
in your letter that necessity may COM
pei the authorities of Virginia to pursue
invaders OF her jurisdiction into the ter.
ritory Of adjoining states. 1t is to be
hoped that no circumstances viii arise
creating 10 their opinion such neces-
sity. Laws Of the United States, as
we'll as the laws OF Ohio, indicate the
mode in which persons charged with
crime in another state and escaping in
10 this may be demanded and must be
surrendered and the people from this
state will require from her authorities
the puuctusl fulfillmert OF every obli-
CATION to other members Of the Union.
They cannot consent, however, to the
invasion Of her territory by armed bod
les from other states, even for the
purpose Of pursuing and srresting fugi-
tives from justice.
Il have the honor 10 be,
VERY respectfully yours,
