Sts duties with the firm conviction that he

to draw upon, can not fail in proper dis
charge of the duties committed to him. ten
der to you n. thanks, Mr.. Chairman, for the
kind expressions you have made. and l offer
you and your fellow-committeemen my most
cordial greetings.

ments conveyed in his address. The menu

1T was believed on the 10Th that Colonel
Burnside, late disbursing officer of the
Post-office Department, began stealing in
the first year Of his term. It had been
learned that he appropriated $32, 900 re-
sceived for waste paper and material, in
addition to taking $4,000 from the treas

BY the recent collapse of Middleton's

The Cholera.

THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS AT T0ULON.
LONDON, June Dispatches from Paris
state that great alarm exists in every sec
ton of France over the outbreak of cholera
af ToulOn. The cities adjacent to TOulon
are believed to be in imminent danger, and
their inhabitants are little short of panic
stricken. Since Saturday last it is esti-
mated that about ninety persons have fallen
victims to the plague. All who can leave
the Inflated city are doing so, and unless
there is marked abatement ofsthe malady
the place promises to be deserted within a
fortnight
ToulOn has been in bad sanitary condi-
ton for long time The authorities, how
ever, have been negligent, and have con-
tented themselves with the local shiftings
OF troops. Little has been done to remove
the causes Of the evil. Proper sewers
do not exist, and the town being
built on piles, many houses are with
out drainage arrangements. The sewage is
emptied Into streams and not swept away
by the Mediterranean, which is without
tide at this season, and in calm weather at
all times the emenations are insupportable.
ROME, June 24-In the Chamber OF
Deputies the Prime Minister said that as a
precautlOn against cholera the Government
had forbidden French ships free pratiQue at
Italian ports and had instituted quarantine.
