Asiatic cholera.
Mr.. Barnes. chairman of the demo-
c-aljc committee OF Wilson, North Caro-
Ina. is in the city to-day, on his return
from New York. He says the third
party has certainly lost ground IN his
State during the last TWO or three
weeks. and great deal Of it too, and
frat the democratic anxiety there has

A prominent Virginia republican

the prospects OF his party in his State
are bv means favorable now, and that
the national republican committee has
done and is doing nothing tor il, aud ii

Virginia is lost before it is begun.
The report OF the Collector at New
York giving the results OF his inquiry
into the case Of the steamer South Port
land. detained Oh the charge that she
j. laden with munitions OF war Tor the
Venezuelan insurgents, tends TO show
that there is no apparent reason iorthe

Aren't Bennett at South McAllister, In

pect Of termination Of hostilitIes. y

General Miles, of the Department OF
the Missouri to send the necessary
troops TO McAliistcr, to be ready III

bred Choctaws said to be under arms
Senator Carlisle of Kentucky is in the
city to-day. He is recently from New
York. That State, he says, gave nearly
lfly thousand democratic majority last
wear, and as the republicans have done
nothing to make their party more pop
ular. and the democrats nothing tC
make theirs more unpopular, since
then. and as no New York democrat
can help himself or his country By flop
ping now, he doesn'tsee why that State
is not safely democratic, and believes
that it is. Regarding the talk about a
break in the solid South, the Senator
SAYS the people of the South have too
much common sense to destroy the only
thing that has preserved them so far,
and especially now, when the national
republican platform declares for the
Force bill.
Among the visitors here to-day is Mr..
Mott. son of the republican leader of
North Carolina. He says that General
Malone and his father are the only
two southern men who ever helped the
republican party, but that the admins
tration is now against them. The nom
nation of a republican ticket in his
State, he says, has made State which
was doubtful. safely democratic. as it
either has drawn, or will draw all, or
nearly all, the democratic members OF
the Farmers Alliance back into the
democratic party. North Carolina is
now, he says, as sure to cast lis vote for
Cleveland next November as Texas.
Intelligence here to-day is to the eff
feet that Notwithstanding the fact that
Verhoeif was marooned BY the Perry
artic expedition, he may still be alive,
as r,skimos live farther north than the
point at which lie was left, and as he
had often said he was certain he could
live where they live.
A letter received at democratic head
quarters, here to-day from Texas, says
Cleveland's majority in that State will
be immense, as the fact that two dem
ocratic candidates for Governor are run
ming, will bring out every democratic
vote in the State, and every one ofthem
VIII vote the national democratic ticket.
Both the only two daily newspapers
of this city are now demanding the re-
moval Of Mr. S. P. Bayly, ir., deputy
