KING CHoLERA.-If it be true-and
there seems no reason to doubt 1t
that cholera OF a pure Asiatic type is
ravagiug the plantations along the
Lower Mississippi, and has actually
made it's appearance in New Orleans
then we should speedily turn our at
tention to the sanitary condition OF our
city. The papers speak OF the estab-
lishment OF a quarantine atWest Louis
vile, and rumor has it that the disease
has appeared at Cincinnati, which is
big advance in our direction. Should
the coming Summer be as hot
a one as the last, King Cholera
will find in the streets OF
this city, a harvest ready for his sickle
The Health Officer in his report to
Council, on Saturday afternoon, says
some portions Of the city contain stag
nant ponds over which green scum ia
already gathered and over which how
ers a malaria almost as insidious as
that of that Roman campagna. When
the sun begins its ardent work who can
doubt but that disease and death will
spring up luxuriantly in such fertile
soil 4? Now is the time to heed the warn
I ing, for in little while it will be too
late. Wheeling, although latterly ex-
empt, is no stranger to this pale spectre
from the Asian steppes, and should he
come, his visit will be fearful one if
our streets and alleys are not kept as
clean as it is possible to make them.
During the time that the use OF water
| is forbidden on the streets aud alleys
by the ordinance to prevent
the use OF street hose, filth
will accumulate Of necessity; and
more than ordinary care must be used.
Why cannot a plan OF sweeping up the
dirt in the streets into piles and having
it carted off every night, as is done in
Philadelphia, be adopted This would
afford come relief. Let the Com mittee
on Health take the notice given by the
Health officer of the arrival of cholera
at New Orleans, and strive to avoid
any visit of this companion Of the
Wandering Jew to Wheeling.

DAMAGE TO THE WATER POWER

The destruction of the dam at Dayton viii
proyc serious loss to the manufacturing in
terests of Ottawa. This dam turned supply
of water into the feeder, which supplied the
canal at Ottawa, and thence through the side
cut furnished water power for the several
manufactures along the side cut and basin
Of course all the mills, &C.. have been stopped
and the hands al each thrown out of employ
ment. AZ Riggs chair factory about 3j men
were forced into an involuntary rest; al
Maierhofier 6 Dents probably IS men are in
the same situation; at the cutlery works %
at Jekylls u similar number; at the starch
factory about 100; at Strawn e Powell's 20
The t1ree Touring mills are also idle
OF the numberonly two establishments can
readily put in steam engines-Maierhoiler X
Dent and the cutlery works-whllc the Others
viii await coming events. The loss to the
starch factory is about $500 per day in time
and business. They have 1000 bushels of corn
in soak and 1000 boxes of starch in the vari
Gus stages of manufacture. All Of this corn
and unfinished starch will be a total loss

machinery and run it for a week or ten days
They were promised enough water from the
main canal to do this, but there seems to be a
hitch somewhere, as the water has failed tC

Superintendent Thomas hopes to be favored
with low water in Fox river early in tho
spring He thinks this, and all other crcum
stances equally favorable, will enable him to
put Golfer dam in the river and turn enough
water into the feeder TO move the machinery
along the "cut" and basin.
The dam at Dayton had become very Old
and lcaky, and the side cut and basin filed
up with every manner Of rubbish, the walls
along the banks have fallen down by being
undermined or washed out This will be a
good time to repair and clean out the basin,
And now, while the state is obliged to put in
dam, it should do the work well and make
il a permanent job.
The great mass Of ice, in its irresistible
power, has pushed off some few sections of
the Illinois river dam at this place, and dam

on either side of the island Exactly how
much damagc has been done cannot be de

CASEY.

| About the most refreshing illustration OF
the manner in which the president proposes
to observe the civil service rules has occurred
| in the case of his brother-in-law Casey, Col
ector of the port of New Orleans, For the
last three years complaints from New Orleans
have been almost ncessant, that the great 70.
mentor of mischief and cause Of 9-1Oths of all
the trouble in that quarter was this same
Ibrother-in-law Casey, and the President was
besieged with endless petitions and dclega-
Itions asking his removal; to all of which, with
his invariable doggedness when a relative is
involved, he turned deaf ear. The scandal
became so great, however that congress was
finally induced to interfere and sent COM
mittec to New Orleans to look into the charges
against Casey. That committee, though com
posed of radicals and friends of the President
with, we believe, but one democratic eXcep-
ton, reported the charges against Casey fully
sustained. The testimony taken before the
committee showed any amount of corruption
and rascaGty by Casey, Packard, Pinchback
and other custom house officials, including
cases like the following; The custom house
ring, for numerous. corrupt reasons, desired
the election of Pinchbacl as President of the
state senate To this end a fund was raised,
and it was proved that $4,000 were paid to
one Lewis for his vote, and $4,000 to one Gal
hap The report further says
Casey Is clearly proved to have been inter,
rstrG in and the holder of a corruption fund
Of $4,000, part of 100000 fund raised by
himself and others to brihe the Legislature to
pass "A bill in which he was IN incorporation.
Herring, his deputy, was at the time Il Sena-
tor: and when the Governor vetoed the bill
Casey unlocked the safe in the Custom-house,
and Herring took out of il and returned SlS,-
600. 1t seems that the $4,000 was for the
Senators, and the balance OF the $4,000 for
the Lower House"
The report is crammcd with other instances
of corruption equally fragrant, in which this
man Casey figured.
The scandal became SO great, that on the
suggestion of the committee and the Presi-
dents most intimate friends, he was induced
to ask Casey 70 resign, and Casey promised TO
do So There was no appointment, however,
made in his place, the Presidents plea being
that he was unable TO find a suitable man, and
so Casey was allowed to remain in the Once
using its influence and pcrquisites TO promote
other schemes of corruption in the interest oil
the radical party and to choke down the VIII
of majority of the people of Louisiana, cur
minating iinallyin the present infamous Mel
logg usurpation.
With all of which the President is so well
pleased, that he has had the audacity To re-
appoint Casey to the Collectorship at New
Orleans, not daring, however, to send his
name to the Senate AT its present session. Tor
fear of is rejection; but the appointment OF
course, gives Casey safe lease for at least an
other year As a case of nepotism in the most
disgusting form, this has few parallels in his

SENATOR BOGY's CASE.
Mr. Bogy, the newly elected senator from
Missouri, on taking his seat in the senate on
Tuesday, rose to personal explanation. lie
said that charges had been made at Jefferson
City that he had used money to procure his
election, and he had demanded an immediate
investigation, which had been made, and the
committee had completely exoncrated him.
Yet, in spite of this, memorial had been sent
| to the senate, repeating these charges. He
felt mortified and Inundated in being placed
in such position, and asked the committee
on elections 10 investigate the charges at once,
and summon every one who protested TO
| know anything about them. In conclusion
Mr. Bogy expressed his purpose to refrain
from voting on any question affecting the
status of other senator's while his own was in
doubt; IA declaration that ought to have caused
Senators Clayton, Spencer, Patterson ct al,
who have been voting to screen their fellow
rogues on every occasion that offered, to suf-
fuse with a slight blush.
