E. Stevenson, the democratic Vice
Presidential candidate, opened the cam
paign in North Carolina here to-day.
There was large gathering and the
speech, which was an admirable one,
was warmly received and applauded.

southern States is of deep import andi is
far-reaching in its consequences. 1t is,
shall they have peace and protection to
life and the prosperity which results
from stable government ofthe States by
their own people, or shall the evils
with which they are menaced by repub-
lican success be but repetition ofthose
of the reconstruction period ?" He
took strong grounds against the Force

Mr.. Stevenson was escorted from his
hotel by distinguished citizens ofNorth
Carolina in carriages and large pro-
cession Of mounted men from the

Tic Cholera in New York.

New YORK, Sept. 15.-This morning
opens bright and frosty and the city is
thus enjoying just the kind of weather
toprevent and spread of cholera. The
few case which have appeared here and
which were concealed by the board of
health. have in no way alarmed the au-
thorities or the citizens. The city is in
too healthy condition, it is argued,
and the people are too intelligent to al
low any serious visitation OF cholera to
take place. However, this will not
prevent the authorities and public in
general from redoubling their efforts to
prove that an ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure. During the
past is hours there were no new or
suspected cases reported.

The cholera is having q serious effect
on our farmers. No wheat is being
shipped abroad and consequently the
price is low with little or no demand for
it. The same IS true of pork, which
was bringing fairly good price until
the quarantine against foreign vessels
was established. With frost, however
these difficulties will be removed, and
we hope to sec the price OF wheat and
pork o. up.

As THE owners of the coal mines in
the Pittsburg district have large sup
ply of coal on hand, and want ~ ex-
cuse for raising Tie price thereof even
higher than it is, they have reduced
the wages of their laborers so as TO in
duce them to strike and thereby afford
that excuse. And no less than eight
thousand OF the miners have been fool
ish enough to do just exactly what
their avaricious employers desired
them to do. They have thus not only
helped their employers, but abandoned
employment at the commencement of
winter, and increased the cost of coal to
thousands of other laborers even worse
paid than themselves.
