Spread of the Disease in the Old World.
MARsEILLEs, July 3.--The Italian consul
at Toulon is recovering from the cholera.
At Marseilles three deaths from cholera are
reported since last night At least 5000
inhabitants have fed. -Four hundred poor
workmen from Toulon were sent back to that
city. The panic is unquestionably increas-
ing. In the face of this, however, physi-
clans and chemists Of the city held meet
ing and declared the alarm senseless. The
rate of mortality at present, they aver, does
not exceed that which is usual at periods of
great heat. They express the belief that
many deaths attributed to cholera are really
due to other causes. The municipal au-
thorities have decided to forego the Gus
tomary celebration July II.

PAREERsBuRG, July 3-[Speciall l.-Ro-
meo H. Freer, the editor of the Greenbacker,
of Ritche county, the fusion organ of the
Fourth Congressional district, has been
here for several days, Judging from ap-
pearances confusion held sway over the
brow OF the earnest apostle of Greenback
IDEAS and in company with boon com
panion from the Republican stronghold of
Richie county, Romeo was having jolly
good time, but they became so lumber and
noisy that it became necessary to conslgn
them to the tender care of Capt. Arthur
Boreman Beckwi;h, who in due
time turned the distinguished
guests over to the tender mercies of Re
corder Turner whose verdict was $3.50
each, total of SIS to the credit Of the city.
Romeo is still here but his fusion friend,
having enough change left, took the train
for Eilenboro and from there could be seen
vending his way home on foot, a sadder if
not a wiser man, and he swesrs Le will
never fuse with Romeo again. Mrs. L. B.
Hughes and children left this morning for
Mountain Lake Park, where they will spend
the heated term. Hon VIM Burke, one of
the two clever Republican members of the
City Council, went to Volcano on business

ton. Ed. is attending the Ohio Wesleyan
University at Delaware. The clear and in
teresting letter from this place to the Gin
ciBnati Commercial Gazette, by Col. Mus
sey, has been the subject Of considerable
comment. The letter was evidently written
from Republican standpoint, and while he
bit the nail on the head in some points he
missed the mark in several other points.
To-day at Harrisyille, while Samuel Gaitsell
was lying in dying condition, a dispatch
was received from Ellenboro. saying his
mother was dying aud requesting his pres

ruE rsEI.Ess CoNGREss.

This country has been afflicted with nu-
nerous failures this wear but the most la
mentable failure Of all is the present Con-
yress. Between the Republican Senate and
the Democratic House it has been the most
useless Congress that ever assembled. We
fail to recall a single measure Of Importance
that has passed, and the only one with any
merit, the Fitz John Porter bill, has been
pulli6ed by Presidential veto.
Theamount Of time consumed IN the use
less discussion of an impracticsble tarlH
measure could have been devoted to the
consideration Of measures Of real utility aud
r-acticsl results. But the majority OF
members preferred to advertise themselves
10 the country as wind bags rather than
common sense statesmen. One trouble has
beep that men who were capable of being
leaders were relegated to the rear early IN
the session by the windbaggers who were
in the majority, and consequently the seS-
sion has dragged itself along into midsum-
mer without accomplishing anything OF ben
eft to the country.
Even now, with dog days close at hand
the body shows no disPOsion to close ITS
session, the members preferring foreman
in Washington and wrangle over the annu-
Al appropriations which ought to have been
agreed to and passed long ago.
As the Republicans control one oraneh
ora the Democrats the other, neither Poht-
cal party is in position to gain any advan-
,age by the ineompetency Of this Congress
7, IL alike discredit to both parties, and 1t
will be a genuine refefto the whole ooun-
,ry when the news goes out that Congress
: .l.o,,rned
