LONDON, Nov. 16-The letter from General
Gordon, dated Nov 4, and published here yester-
day, is not accepted as conclusive evidence that
General Gordon was safe at that time, and

London say that it is impossible that a messen-

Gorden wrote the letter on the 4th instant, and
it was delivered to General Wolseley on Friday.
The distance is 206 miles as the crow flies, and
the camel route across the Bahinda desert is
much longer. Some pessimists insist that the
date must have been Oct. 4. The four tele
grams received regarding the letter stated that
the date was illegible. The Tories do not hesi-
tate to say that the date was Oct 4, and that
the government officials in giving the letter to the
press falsifed the date for purposes of their

his way from Khartoum to Dongola in ten days

Another anomaly in the present cholera scare
is that the municipal authorities of Paris are APP

the hospitals and elsewhere are almost wholly

THE CHOLERA.

PARIS, Nov. 16.-During Saturday there were
twenty-five deaths from cholera in the city, and
fifty in the hospitals. Between midnight and
this evening there were four deaths in the city,
and seventeen in the hospitals.

Nominating Convention.

The executive committee of the Addison Coun-
ty Temperance society, after mature deiberation
and wide consultation with temperance workers
in different parts OF the county,arc convinced the
time has fully come when men ought to be put IN
nomination for the various county Offices who
will exert their whole official influence for the
faithful and impartial execution OF the laws OF
the state in regard TO the sale of intoxicating
drinks.
For succession of years, the friends of pro-
hibitiOn have endeavOrcd to operate through the
two leading political parties OF the county, to Sc
cure this end, only to be disappointed in the re
suit of their labOrs, the last nominations being
more conspicuous failures in this drec ion than
those by which they have been preceded. They
therefore invite all those who agree with them in
these opinions to meet in

WAYNE MACNEAGH, Garfield's attorney

WIN. Brooks, now confined in
our Parish Jail, and who is to hang
on Friday next, is growing more
tame and submissive as the day of
his execution draws near. Since
his Imprisonment he has been a
constant source Of annoyance to his
keeper, at times threatening that
individual with dire vengeance. He
has made several Intellectual at
tempts to get free, filing and saw
ing his shackles that bound him,
in every one Of which he was de-
ted and prevented from furthur pro-
ceeding. No later than Saturday
did he dare and warn the jailer
not to come near him, as he said he
would kill anyone or anybody
who would dare to place their
hands on him. He had contrived
a sort Of slung shot,, made out of
an old paddock, which he had care
fully wrapped with cloth, thus pre-
venting its identity, which he con-
ceeled on his person: There is no
telling what harm he might have
accomplished with this same instru-
ment. To show how he courts des-
peration, he was overheard to say
that should he make his escape, he
could easily free himself Of his
manacles by lying near the railroad
track, and let the cars run over
them. They would quickly snap
into and he would then be loose.
Heretofore, fears have been enter
tanned that he would make q break
when being led to execution, or
when placed on the scaford to bel
hung, but such is not now the case.
He is, as we previously assert in
this paragraph: growing more mild
and meek, {religiously inclined if
you willy and even went so far on
yesterday morning as to ask his
keeper for a copy Of the, New Tes-
lament. AS yet, however, he has
asked for no spiritual adviser Or
friend, having always said that he
had no fears for death, and that he
wanted to be hung. Between now
and the day Of his execution, he will,
no doubt, become reconciled to his
fate, and be ready as most poor
mortals IN his place generally are,
to meet his maker. His will he the
second public hanging that has ia
ken place in this Parish since the
close Of the War.
