CHoLERA.-We are not at all alarmed
and do not wish TO scare any body. or send
abroad the impression that our city ia in
s'flthy and unhealthy condition. But
we are in favor Of having the city thor
oughly cleaned up and as near as can be,
every disease-breeding place in il thor
oughly renovated. The word has gone
out from New Orleans that seveal cases
cholera hhave occurred there thls
season, and that owing to the fact that the
colored people refuse to take proper pre-
cautions against the disease, and TO the
refusal of many ofthe whites 10 do the
same thing, Il is feared the terrible
soourge may spread, and IN case it should,
there is no telling whore it would end.
New Orleans Is The starting point for
cholera and yellow tsver, and when New
Orleans is thus afflicted, Vicksburr and
Memphis arc almost sure to be, and i.
might occur that Cairo might come in for
her share Of the scourge. We throw out
these hints that the board Of health may
comprehend the importance of redoublng
their Efforts TO prepare the inhabitants OF
the city for the season when these terri.
bic diseases 'do most prevail" We are
aware OF the fact that the police and
health officers have worked diligently
, and have accomplished much good in the
! direction aimed at, but there is yet much
to be done and 1t can't be done too soon.
