In 1854 the drouth was general, and al though during the month of July there much rain, yet the year altogether a very dry one, and from the com-mencementof March extraordinarily warm.

Till the middle of July hardly a case was known, but before the ot that month the deaths had risen from five to 133, The disease went on in creasing from week to week, till, in the eighth week it reached its maximum mor tahty ol 2,050. It took thirteen weeks fall again to five and during the whole period of twenty-one weeks there was no fluctuation in its progress and then in its decline. This feature is one of the most striking characteristics of the plague, and harmonizes with the theory that both are imported diseases, iividently, therelore, the hrst duty ot the government is to watch the ports, for, whether contagious not, cholera is not an epidemic of home growth. It is an unwelcome guest, which can best be dismissed at the very thresh, old. Pall Mall Gazette.

various States Colorado has chosen a Legislature almost unanimously Republican, and has elected iho Republican candidate for Delegate to Congress by a largely increased majority over that of last year. The majority for Chaffee over Miller, last election, was 302; and a large gain seems certain. Thus far the campaign has certainly been most cheering. And Still Another If ew Mexico, which nearly everybody conceded to be Democratic, has followed the example of all the other States and Territories, and elected a Republican Delegate to Congress, as also a majority of the Legislature.

The mines are much nearer to Louis and their markets, by the Atlantic and Pacific avoiding the roundabout' way and reshipment at Kansas City, and if that corporation does not hold the trade, with Neosho as the'n sup-ply point, it will show that it is managed in a very unbusinesslike way. The Fort Scott road cannot compote- with it in any natural advantages, and it will bo only a niggardly spirit that will allow a pound of load to1 be shipped that way. As we Fluted last week, the present shipments of lend froti Jopliu are made from Neosho, a lid our merchants1 should bo' alive to the.

The lead nfjercfit of Baxter will bo so much developed soon that illie matter of shipments from the Joplin mines will bo 'small compared with fWom."

The worst is, that while our forefathers and the French were driven by dire necessity to this form of 'repudiation, we would now enter upon it with the wealth and com merce or a conunenc in our Keeping, (ien. Ewing glides orer this by saying that, after all, his paper money is not a debt. It is a promise to pay money.

Before leaving Gen. Ewing, I must an swer one question he puts to me, and asks the answer here. I said that one of the benefits we derived from the national ban king system was that they paid $9,000, uuu in taxes to the btates.

lie asks me if they were driven out of existence if they would not pay all of these taxes, ex cept on circulation. I auswer, not one of them, he national banks now keep, and are required to keep, from ten to forty per cent, more of their capital in United States bonds than their circulation. These bonds, General Ewing admits, are not taxable at all. When they are made the basis of banking capital they are. The very moment the national banks are de stroyed, these bonds are the property of tne stocunoiaers.

and that which now pays 118,000,000 of tax will not pay one dollar to either the State or the National Government, Beautiful Customs.1 A correspondent of the Missouri Repub lican, writing from Nuremberg, under the date of August 21st, says: All turnout as a sacred duty to "decorate" with flowers and evergreens the last resting-place of their beloved dead.

Having beggared New York they are now making a big effort to obtain control of the National finances, and thus have a larger field in which to exercise their wholesale plundering operations.

Some shrewd editor has expressed it exactly, in the following condensed statement of the action of the Ohio State Democratic convention; "Whereas, it has become painfully apparent that we cannot carry the North unless we endorse the amendments to the federal constitution, and cannot carry the South if we do: therefore, be it llcsolved, That we cordially accept the cursed, ill-begotten 13th, 14th and 15th constitutional amendments and earnestly beg the American people to elect 'us to office so that we can prevent the enforcement of said amendments. How to Destroy a Town. Horace Greeley presents the following as a sure means of destroying the prosperity of the most promising town. There can be no doubt of its efficacy: If you wish to keep a town from thriving, don't put tip any more buildings than you can conveniently occupy oursclf, If you should accidentally have an empty dwelling, and any one should want to rent it, ask three times the actual value of it. Demand a Shylook price for every spot of land that God has given you' stewardship over.

the nioneyod girls IihVo the bitint admireix a and enthusiastic meeting at White's Hall, which was addressed by Hon. John Mierman. Senator Sherman's speech was an able review of political issues of the clay, and, throughout, was listened to with demonstrations of approval by the large audience; THE EWINO FINANCIAL DEPARTURE. Referring to that portion of General Ewing's Columbus speech which treats on the national finances, Senator Sherman said: 1 He (General Ewing) proposes to isssue $1,000,000,000 of paper money, make it a legal tender, destroy the national banks, pay off the 5-20's, and thus make money eaty and interest light. Before we examine this New Departure it is well to inquire whether it is a Demo cratic departure.

If it is merely an Ewing departure, we can properly leave it to console its author. It this is but a new edition of the paper money schemes which inspired John Law and the South Sea buble, those fictions of flimsy romance those tissues of folly 'which fancy has wo ven, we can leave it to the brief life and ruinous decay of the thousand such schemes that have risen and fallen within two centuries. Is this the financial plan of the Demo cratic party? It we look to the South, they want no paper money, but open re. pndiation and specie payments. It we look to New York, California, Connecticut, and New Jersey, the Northern States where the Democratic party has power.

we find they utterly reject this scheme, and all schemes of paper money, and demand a return to the hard money of the constitution. The voice ot the party in other States is ominous. If we look to General McCook, the nominee for Governor, we nnd no counte nance for such a scheme, it we look to the Democratic Judges of the Supreme Court, we find that they held all legal tenders to be unconstitutional and void If we look to Vallandingham, whom Gen eral Ewing eulogizes, we find he demand. ed prompt specie payments in his Dayton resolutions, nut uenerai jawing says this is the Nev? Departure of the; Ohio Democracy. The only resolution of the Ohio Democracy that bears on the subject is the twelfth.

That squints vaguely at the payment of the bonds' in greenbacks and a three per cent loan, and, perhaps' it may uphold General Ewing's magnificent scheme. I am sorry he assumes the bantling. As we had a Pendleton departure that was summarily throttled in the house of its friends, General Ewing should have taken warning from this example. But let me state the fatal objections to this scheme 1. The four Democratic Judges ot the Supreme Court pronounce any scheme of legal tenders unconstitutional and void, while the five udges who sustained our present Legal-Tender act "rested itfttpon the war powers of the government- and pot otfc of them would uphold as constitutional new legal tenders in a time of peace, in violation of our loan laws, and designed solely to cheat the public creditors.

This scheme would then meet, at the outset, the unanimous judgment of the Supreme Court as unconstitutional, null and roid. '2. This scheme is an express violation of our contract with the public creditors. These laws provide that the custom duties should be paid in gold, and that in no event shall the amount of United States legal tenders ever exceed $450,000,000. It is, therefore, an act of open, palpable repudiation, and a crime against civilization.

3. The only doubt that ever existed as I to the payment of the debt in legal-ten ders, was whether the notes already issued under the acts creating the public debt could be tendered in payment of the principal of the debt. They are now so near par in gold that it would be idle to raise the question, even if it was an open one but it has been by the "act to strengthen the publio that no such credit shaflj be made until paper money shall be on a par with gold. This settlement of a dangerous question has been approved and acquiesced in by nine-tenths of tho American people. 4.
