The political situation in
Kinds is so very mach mnddled
that the political leaders are in
doubt as to what they viii do.
The Democratic county Con.
vention which met last week re-
.jectcd by a small majority the
proposition of the colored Re-
publicans for a division of the
county Offices. This action has
created intense dissatisfaction
among the Democratic advo-
Gates of fusion and they are
elamoring for another Conven
ton. They assert that there
has been o reaction in favor Of
fusion and that proposition
would now be carried. On the
other hand the friends Of the
straight ticket oppose another
Convention and insist that the
question has been finally settl-
ed. The upshot of the whole
matter win probably be that
there will be four tickets In the
field and the Democrats will be
badly beaten.

Ed, EAGLE: 1 wish to say a
few words to the candidates for
the Legislature, through your
columns. The tax payers Of La
Fayette county have to pay
taxes to ran the Circuit Court
to try to enforce the laws of the
State. We don't like to be tax
ed to have a man indicted, tried,
found guilty, and then sent to
Jail, and after staying ter days,
take the pauper's oath and go
free and have the tax-paying
citizens to pay all cost, ] wish
the candidates for the Legisla-
ture to give this matter their
careful consideration and seeif
they cannot amend the law III
some way so that We will not be
imposed upon in this way. 1
think if a man is able to work,
he should be compelled to work
out his fine on the streets or
roads or be sent off to some
farm.

THE CHOLERA.

This dreaded disease has
made its appearance in Egypt
and is destroying thousands of
persons. 1t broke out in the
month Of May in Bombay, a city
in India and from thence il
gradually worked " way to
Egypt. 1t is generally believed
that the most ofthe great chole-
ra epidemics have originated in
the valley of the Ganges.
Great fears are entertained
that ii will extend to Europe
and from thence to the United
States. The European govern
ments are taking vigorous meas
ures to prevent it's reaching
their people and they may pos
sibly be successful. A vast
of European vessels
are constantly g ,ing to and from
Egypt AND it will be a very diff
ficult task to prevent them from
bringing the dreaded disease
Ito their shores.
If it oree becomes an cpl.
demic IN England, it will will
be almost impossible to keep it
out of the United States.

/. The repeal of the lien law
(sec. 1859 Code 18S0.)
2. That as there can be nc
vested rights in legal wrongs,
we favor the unconditional re-
peal of all class legislation, par
ticularly such as exemption from
taxation and ooher special priv
ileges granted railroads, manu-.
featuring, and other joint stock

lation, by the authorized agents
of the people, of all chartered
institutions of the State. II
4. Stringent and searching
laws for the prevention, detec-
ton, and punishment of tax
lodging, and that the revenue
laws be so amended rs to sub.

and all debts not returned as
solvent credits should not be

5. AS the best civil service
reform, we favor the election
by the people of all civil officers

ordinations in charges by rail

ers, and the granting by them of

that, whereas, farming operations

BY reference to a dispatch

it will be seen that the cholera
has appeared in London. The
close and frequent intercourse
between the ports of this coun-
try and London, gives this fact
q very important and alarming
aspect to us. The utmost vigi-
lance will be required at every
American port to keep ont this
fearful plague. The cholers un-
like yellow fever, is no more
partial to hot climate than a
cold one, and as rigid measures
ofquarantine will be necessary
at New York, Boston and bther
Northern ports Ms here.

Tho New York Herald has a
very kindly opinion Of President
Arthur, and commends him in
this style:
"The most remarkable phe
nomeaon in our present p litics,
is undoubtedly the general, and
indeed almost universal, favor
with which MI. Arthur is re
garded by the people of both
parties and by those political
leaders who are moved, not by
personal ambitions or disIikes,
but whose Judgments are foun-
ded upon facts. When it is re
membered that Mr.. Arthur be-
came President by the accident
of Gen. Garfelds death and
that his accession was an extra
ordinarially disagreeable cir
cumstance to an important fac
ton of the Republican party
which did not pretend in the

even tolerably fitted for the I'M
impol taDt position of Vice Pres.
ident, it is certainly proof of his
very great ability that in less
than two years he has been able
to gain, and indeed to compel,
the confidence and esteem of
the general public and even of
his opponents in his own party.
