Cholera and Trade.

New YoRK, Sept. 15.-Cholera
has landed and the business of New
York goes on exactly as if it had
not. Cars are as crowded with
passengers and the streets as badly
blocked. with cart-loads of mer-
chandise, as they were on this day
of the week one year ago, which
means that the heaviest trade ever
known at this season is now in
progress. The same is true of
other cities, almost within excep-
tion and the outlook for Fall trade
Is 1T all points regarded as exceed
ingly good. But many people are
afraid that ell other people will be
efraid, and consequently specnlat-
i've markets have declined. There

POLITICAL BRICK BATS.

1t must be that while Marion
Butler (who draws pay as President
+ the Farmers Alliance) is out
stumping for Weaver, he lets the
boys in his Office do the writing, of
which the following is a brilliant
interrogative specimen:
''The Democratic machine and
its supporters and sympathizers are
highly elated because the Republic
cans have put outa a State ticket. Why
is this? We pause for an answer
Marion, himself, has written some
very foolish things lately, but it
discredits his intelligence to sup
pose that he would coolly and de-
liberately propound and publish in
his paper such silly inquiry as the
bove. But it is possible neverthe-
less, for ever since he Topped he
has shown a decided lack of mental
balance, in trying to show that he
is pure and unselfish patriot, viii
ling to immediate himself for the
dear people, and that LIE has loaded
no more sprinciple" in the past few
weeks than he toted in all his life
previous to his flop. But if he did
ask it and still 'spauses" for reply
we would suggest that a level head
ed general who goes out to meet op-
posing armies, which combined may
outnumber him, would be "highly
elated'' to see him split in two under
rival leadership, and go to pegging
at each other, while they are pegging
at him, and then, like leTel-head-
ed fellow, he'll go in and walJop 'em
both in detail Marion shonld no
longer "pause for an answer"
The indications are that DR.. Ex-
um, the Third party candidate for
Governor, will withdraw from the
canvass, as he has given up all hope
of being elected since the Republi-
cans have put a ticket in the field.
He puts the voting strength of
the Third party at Il 900; 10000 of
whom, he says, in sthe event the
Third party ticket was withdrawn,
WOulU fOIe WIFI the O6uOCTdtS ana
5000 with the Republicans, which
would, in his opinion, give the VIC
tory to the Democrats. Although
he lntimates tLat be will withdraw
when convinced that his remaing in
the field may contribute to Republi-
cans success he does not directly say
so, but as he says he would regard
Republican success as calamity to
the State, he cannot be long IN
doubt as to the course he should pur-
sue. 1t is evident from the tone of
his conversation that he is disap-
pointed in the outcome of events,
that he expected Republican sup
port. that he is not at all satisfied
with the position in which be is
placed, that he is making the can
E7ass much against his own lnclina-
tions, and that if he acted an his
Town volition alone he would with
draw from the field at once Wil.

A Rattlesnake Plague,

Two gentlemen Of Wilmington
who have been down in Shallotte
township, Brunswick county, about
tifty-fYe miles from this city, bring
the news that there is much alarm
in tha. township over rattlesnake
plague. There has been very lit.
tie rain in that section recently
and bay in the vicinity of Mr.
Valentine Smiths place has be-
come almost dry. This bay ii
infested with the monster rattle,
snakes peculiar to this section and
they hare gone out of the bay and
crawled all through the neighbor-
hood.
Within the past sixty days three
negroes and one white woman have
been bitten and killed by these
venemous reptiles besides scores 81
horses and cattle. Mr.. III. @. Smith
Tossed a fine mule a few days ago,
and many dogs have been killed
by the bite of the rattlers. The
snakes crawl into the residence in
many instances and many haye
been killed in and under the cabins
of the negroes. The white woman
who was bitten heard a noise in
her honse, and got up 10 see what
it was and was bitten as soon as
she got on to the floor. She died
in terrible agony within a few
hours. The fatality among cattle
IS especially great and the people
have to keep their COWS penned up
at home to prevent them from
grazing on the borders OF the bay.
A number of persons have bes
come panic stricken and moved
away from the vicinity of the bay,
which is near Waccamaw river.
People who drive along the road
can hear the wicked singing of
the snakes rattles in the grass and
bushed and many large snakes
have been killed in the roads. The
informant of the Messenger drove
along a portion of the road near
the bay spoken of and they heard
several snakes rattling as their ve-
hicles stirred them from their lair.
Some of the snake in this sec-
ton are of enormous size and five-
feet.one-inch,ratler~ killed two
miles from the city day Or two
ago is pigmy alongside of some Of
these Shallotte reptiles. The story
told By the two gentlemen is true
in every respect, except that they
cannot vouch for q statement made
by one of the residents that a huge
rattler with sixty-three rattlers and
q button was killed there q few
days ago. This was told to them
by reliable man and if it is true,
this is the oldest snake ever heard
of in this part Of the country. The
statement, however, that four per-
SONS and numbers of horses, cattle
and dogs haye been bitten and
killed, is ABSOLUTELY true and
vouelled for, and there is nc diff
Guilty in believing it when every
body about here well knows what
enormous rattlesnakes are often
killed even within a few miles OF

Let the Old Flag Float.

a recent ACT Oh OOnSFeeS iudk-
ing it unlawful to use the United
States fiag for any advertising
purposes, has been very violently
construed By some sensitive par
tisans who assume that political
party is excluded from hosting the
stars and stripes with the names o
their candidates thereon. The
Prohihitionists OF Kennett Square
lately flung out their flag to the
breeze with the names of Bid well
and Cranfield, their national can
d dates, attached to it. This aroused
the anti-prohibitionists, who noti-
fed those who had hoisted the flag
that it must be taken down or the
lanes of their candidates cffaced
f:om it. The prohibitionists being
law abiding people took down their
flag. Since then the question has
been raised in Chester, where an
enthusiastic supporter of Cleve>
land has hoisted the flag over his
hotel on which he had strip of
muslin containing the names Of
Cleveland and Stevenson, and he
has been notified by the perturbed
Republicans that this flag must
come down or the names of his
candidates erased.
It seems like an absurdity- to ass.
suine that the use of the United
States flag by political parties
could be any abuse of that sacred
emblem of our nationality; and
while we do not assume to cons
strue the law, we doubt whether
any court would entertain the
question of forbidding the use of
flags BY political parties however
CO 7ered with the names of candi-
dates or declarations of principles.
On the contrary, it is highly COM
mendable for all parties to assert
their devotion to the flag of our
common country, and the use OF il
should be encouraged rather than
hindered by onr national laws. The
American flag should be every
where; in business, in politics, in
homes, on highways, on mountain
tops, in the valleys, over our
schools, colleges and churches,
where it was seen during the trys
ing times of our civil war, and we
do not for a moment entertain the
belief that Congress meant to pro-
hibit the use OF the flag for any such
purposes.
Ii this severe construction Of the
law can be maintained, no party
procession or club headquarters, or
party headquarters of any kind can
use the flag Of the nation to in
epire their followers, and all busi-
pesshouses would be precluded from
from attracting attention to their
establishment by the stars and
stripes unless they efaced eyery-
thing relation robustness. 1t ia simply
an absurdity, and we sincerely re
gret that the Prohibitionists of
Kennett Square did not DEFY their
disgruntled neighbors until the
decree of the court commanded
them to surrender their flag con-
tanning the names of the candidates.
Of course, the use of the flag could
be abused for advertising purposes,
but aii political action in this coun-
try is presumed to be patriotic. It
10 meant to be honest in support Of
the flag of the Union, and there is
no more fitting emblem of patriotic
people of every faith to hoist over
their marching columns or on
which to print the names of their
candidates, than the stars and
stripes Of the Republic.-Phild.
