Of the great London daihes he has SHOWN

the ravages of the disease season In ana

York newspaper he states that inc choi'
era bacillus cannot i've IN temperature
lower than 20 degrees. If we couid
accent this statement as true we SHOULD
feel that the danger of any EXTENDED
rayages of cholera in this country were
very small this Season, for we have APP
preached The period when The thernome-
ter will be almost always below ~
But the New York World has a spe-
cial cablegram from Berlin in i's sun

that we refuse to have our cholera ba-

LAWYER REID.

Lawyer Reid, Of Fire Island is a dis
grace to his profession. 1t is such law
yers as he that cause the public to rate
lawyers in general as shysters and sharp
ers His clients did not, of their own
motion, refuse food and blankets to the
unfortunate people who were not per-
mittcd to land; they were inspired and
advised to it by him. To obtain some
sharper's advantage in the way of n
legal bubble in his lawsuit, he was will
ing to urge them into performing the
most heartless act of inhumanity that
ever came under our notice. We are
proud to know such a thing could not
have happened in Virginia or in any
other part of the South.

When these rare incidents occur IL Is
mucb better for the interest OF the whole

be worsted in his encounter and that bis
assaiIant shall be properly punished by
the law than that we shall turn oil our

way 30 prevent such incidents is to have
the laws face set against all pugilism

CoLONEL nAwEs, CASE.

Colonel Percy Halves case is one
that calls for some explanation. On the
statement made of it in yesterday S
Times it seems clear that he was entitled
70 Il court of enquiry, and it is not at all
clear how he could have violated military
discipline in favoring the passage of an
act of Assembly that he thought would
improve the efficiency of the military ser
vice of the State. All good citizens
ought to feel an interest in this, and they
should manifest their interest on all
proper occasions. The public would like
TO know the Governors reasons for fail
ing to order the court of enquiry asked
for by Colonel Hawes, and we should
be glad to hear some reasons why his
conduct was a breach of discipline. Col
onel Halves was an admirable officer,
and in his leaving her military service
the State has sustained a real loss.

says edtorially:
THE Southern Democratic senators
who went TO Chicago, or who before the
Chicago convention put themselves on
record as dcprecating and opposed to the

less to themselves and 10 their own repu-
tation as true and loyal Democr ITS

selves from every suspicion even Of luke
warmneSS in the present contest. The
senators from Maryland. from Virginia
from Georgia and from Alabama, among
others. are the leading Democrats in
their respective States upon whom the
people at this time have their eyes
In this the Sun has, unintentionally
perhaps, done the senators from Nir-
ginia great wrong. Both of them are in
the field battling hard for Democratic
success, and Senator Daniel, who as IS
well known was bitterly opposed to
Cleveland, is making consplcuously
mastery aud gallant fight. The Demo-
Gratis of the various States doubtless
have their eyes on him. as they always
do, and they see him, as they always do
