The cholera Is still raging at Fort liarker. Garibaldi proposes to fight for the Capital of Italy. Lopez, who betrayed Maximilian, has been arrested. He will be executed. There were 277 deaths in Brooklyn last week, of which 79 were from cholera. It is again rumored that General Sheridan will soon be superceeded in command by General Hancock. General Sheridan ha? determined to remove Governor Throckmorton, of Texas, and appoint A. J. Hamilton. A murderous assault was made on V. J. Armstrong and J. J. Thompson, at Columbia, S. C, on the night ol the 2i)th, for participating in the Republican Convention. The Commissioners appointed to treat with the hostile Indians are expected to meet at St Louis on the Cth ol August for organization. The New York Herald1 special again puts In circulation the report that owing to Secretary Stanton's opposition to the President, his resignation is devoutly wished for. The statement that the President will issue a proclamation restraining citizens of the United States from violating the neutrality laws by an invasion of Mexico, is premature. A fire occurred in Cairo on the 29lb, burning oa twelve business firms, and destroying nine buildings. Win. PalocU., a clerk, was burned to death. Some Louisiana people who called upon the Presideut, were assured that, it had be n decided to remove General Sheridan from the command of the Fifth Military District. Twelve hundred people fled from Ellsworth City, Kansas, last week. The average mortality from cholera per day In that city is reported at nine or ten persons. Persons attacked with the disease die in from two to fifteen hours. Nathaniel S. Morgan, formerly a commander in the United States navy a cousin of Governor Morgan, of New York, and a near relative of Secretary Welles was arrested on a charge of bigamy, m Washington, on the 20th inst. It appeared that he married a wife iu Connecticut ia 18."7 and in lstiil, in Washington, married a Miss Martha Wroe. the first wile being still alive. He was held for trial in Ueceaiuer. IXDIAXA ITEMS. The IndianaStateConvention of Umverballsts meets at Terre Haute, on the ititti day of August. An unprecedented nunioe-o: lata, cases of cholera infantum have occurred in Cannelton, Indiana, this season. There are, it is said, one handled an J fifty retail liquor dealers In Terre Haute, of which number not more than forty or fifty pay a license. The people of Cannelton are moving in the temperance cause. A great meeting of the friends of that cause was held In that place a few days ago. The Winchester Journal reports that the cholera is prevailing to an alarming extent at Marion, and Jonesboro, in Grant County. Dr. Joseph Hitchcock, a pioneer aged eighty-eight years, died suddenly at his residence in New Albany a few days ago.

Miss Alexander, who was so seriously burned by the injudicious use of coal oil, at Bloom in gton, of which notice was made last week, has since died. The South Bend Regitter says: "Father Cotton, aged eighty-three years, and Mrs. Rebecca Reenter, aged seventy-flveyears, were married in Union Township on last Thursday." ..:; John A. Wilstach, Indiana Commissioner to the Paris Exposition, and family, arrived at home si the 26th .Inst. The revenue arising from the dog taxf In this State, for 1866, amount, to $154,000, with nine counties to hesir from. This fund is used to pay tor sheen killed by dogs, the surplus, If any remains in the treasury at the end of the currentyear,. goes to the School Fund. -j., On Thursday, a convict named .Jno. Reed, under sentence 'to the penitentiary tor burglarly tor twelve years, Jumped from a tram at Michigan City and escaped. He was from Wabash County. " Feed. Hauck, of Lawrencebiirgh, was poisoned by swallowing a bed. bug, and died. . JA An Artesian well is in operation at Leavenworth, Crawford County, this State. It 1 4 only 480 feet deep. Tha water is said to be the best quality of white sulphur. A little girt named Carrie Barringer, was run over in New Albany last Saturday b a horse and wagon, and badly Injured, one leg being broken, and the other very much braised. The injuries, it was feared, would prove fatal. KENTUCKY ITEMS. The Columbus (Ky.) Chrwicle has suspended publication caote: want of patronage. - A negro, who sails under the cognomen of Daniel Webster, attempted to lake riis own life, in Louisville, last Saturday, by shooting himself with a pistol. He made a failure. Caue assigned: he was a mean darkey. A large troupe of acrobats,1 gymnasts, dancers, danseueses. minstrel performers, fcc., has been organized in Louisville. It in the intention make a 'tour of 'the State, visiting the various Comity Fairs, and giving performances in ajrf the towns and cities of the State. The Lexington Gbxerver and Reporter says that news from General BreckiDridge has been received up to the first of Jthis month. His health had. very greatly 'improved, and his family were well. He will return to Canada early In the Autumn,' The Paducah Herald says there'ls a reasonable probability that a Rolling Mill and an Iron Foundry will be put in operation in that city this fall.

The people of Hancock County are now having an exciting campaign. There are two rebel Democrats on the ticket as candidates for Representative, both popular. One, Mr. Eli Brown, is a lawyer, the other, Mr. Robert Beacham, is a wealthy farmer. . Hancock County is to have a new Court House. The old one is too small. It will be removed and a neat and substantial structure win take its plauev The work is progressing favorably. Jno. Wells was drowned a short distance from Maysville, Ky., last week. He fell from the Steamer Golden Eia. Ills body was recovered. The Hickman Courier recoids the death, on the 9th inst., of Mrs. Polly Haynes, near that place, at the advanced age of 10a years. She had lived in that vicinity for 60 years, and was in full possession of her mind up to death. Xast Sunday, Mrs. Sallie Gibson, a worthy and respectable widow lady of Louisville, committed suicide by taking three ounces of laudanum. Disappointment in love, it is said, drove her to the commission of the rash act. She leaves a child seven years old. Last Thursday, about seven miles from Hickman, Mr. George Everett was found in his wagon with his throat cut from ear to ear. Evidently he had been murdered for his money, as he was a peacesble citi zen. ; The Courier has read a dispatch sent by the not always reliable " Mack," correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, denying the statement which has appeared in the papers all over the country in reference to the Lincoln Roman Tablet, and thereupon the Courier hastens to denounce " the Journal's story a base falsehood." Our statement which we published was in the shape of a letter from Col. Hoynton to the Cincinnati Gazette, based upon the action of Congress, and which has since been confirmed by. an actual examination. The cotemp.. rary shows very bad taste in the style in which it champions the caue of Mr. Johnson. The London correspondent of ti e New York Tribune,' says that among other distinguished Englishmen who think of visiting America this year, is Tom Hughes, author of Tom Brown's School Days at Rugby, and other popular works. No man in England would receive a heartier greeting in their country than Mr. Hughes. A distinguished Liberal, and a firm friend of our Government during its struggle with rebete.' he has endeared himself to the pi ople, who need only the Opportunity to show him the affection they entertain for him. "I look upon Mr. 'Johnson;"-' said Senator Wilson in his speech at'Saratoga, " as I look upon Butf Rua'. ' It was a great lesson to the ' couiUry. Andrew Johnson stands right there, t.nd every time he undertakes to do anything against the cause of liberty

and justice the country rallies and goes farther than ever it would have

gone before. - ' Tie Election in Tennesee. The lection in Tennessee takes place to-morrow.- The contest has been -one of the warmest in the history of the State, and not unattended with bloodshed.. The old passions awakened 'by the war of rebellion, which in Tennessee were heightened by home feuds and internal dissensions, have been kindled anew in this canvass, which has been marked with -so much of animosity, and sometimes ef bloodshed. It is the contest of the "battle-field transferred to the forum and the ballot-box. The Union and Rebel parties are arrayed against -each other just as they were during the war. The contest would be decided in favor of the rebels were it not that the Union party have resorted to the same tactics which they used sueeessfully in the war. They have clothed the negroes with the full privileges of citizens, as they clothed tbein with the uniform of the Government, and called them again to their aid. If the Union party of Tennessee is to-morrow saved from the defeat which has come upon the loyal men of Kentucky and Maryland, it will only be on account of the aid given them by the negroes. The election, will be looked upon with much interest by all parties, from the fact that it is the first State election in which the colored men have exercised the. elective franchise, and will be regarded"' as some indication of their political affiliations in the other Southern States. . The "Radicals " of Tennessee confidently rely upon the support of the large majority of the negro voters, and expect to elect then ticket triumphantly. The' "Conservatives " have been making an active canvass, and are hoping for success, but with not so much confidence as their opponents. Besides members of Congress from the eight Congressional Districts, there will be chosen a Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Republicans have. nominated for Governor, W. G. Brown low, and for Superintendent, John Eaton, Jr. The rebels have nominated for Governor, Emerson Etheridge, and for Superintendent, Charles S. Cameron, formerly a Chicago copperhead. The Congressional candidates are as follows: REPTTBLICANS. COPPER-JOH !fSO. ' 1. Judge R. R. Butler, White. 2. Horace Maynard, John Williams, 3. Wm. B. Stokes, Capt. Fleming, 4. James Mullins, . 'Edmund Cooper, 5. John Trimble, Thos. N. Frazler, 6. Sani'i l. Arnell, Donsey B. Thomas, 7. -IsaacR. Hawkins, Wm. P. Caldwell, 8. David A. Nun. John W. Leflwich. "Members of the present Congress. There is also a United States Senator to be chosen in place of Patterson, the President's son-in-law, and if the Republicans succeed it is said that their choice will probably fall upon Horace Maynard, while Gen. J. A. Cooper will be .chosen to fill his seat in the House. The N. Y. Tribune calls the Union Republican General Committee of that city which put General Grant in nomination not long since, as the candidate of the Republican pnrty for President a soup". "society. The Society differs from most other similar organizations, the Tribune says, in that it asks for soup instead of giving it away. It thinks every member is presenting his ladle to General Grant in an attitude of eagerness and hunger, which is piteou- to behold. Seriously, it believes this premature nomination of General Grant is in ! the interest of the Democracy. It affirms that since Lee resigned at Appomatox Court House, the General has received n o ?uch attack as this. The truth is, -Mr. Greeley and Mr. Weed hate each other with such bitterness and vindictiveness, that we doubt whether any candidate can receive their united support. Championed by 3Ir. "Weep, any candidate could not depend cu Mr. Greeley's supporting him with any spirit or( enthusiasm. On the other hand, should Mr. Greeley betaken into his councils, a candidate could safely count ;n Mr. Weed's oppositionr-indirectly, it' not directly." 1 Thus it w:i! h. seen that General Grant is between two fires, so far as the State of New York is concerned. Nothing will save him except his well known reticence. t , The Nt v Yurk'Constitutional Conr Ji l vention has adopted an article difranchisi'ig deserters and those who aided the' rebellion; II 'Arfcthex rtic-!o providing for challenging at the polls in accusation of contributing or paying money for the purpose of influencing an election, was also carried, these proisions are excellent. All of

The Coolie Iracj. The old slaveholders are unwilling to reconcile themselves to the changed system of labor brought about by the war. It has been -noticed from the dispatches that a movement is on foot in the Southern States to intro duce coolies, under the plea of the scarcity of labor. As is justly stated by the Chicago Tribune, the South is not suffering for the want of labor. There Is an abundance 'of labor, but there Is a lack of capital to make that labor productive. There is a spirit of dogged ness in the late slaveholders, which finds a natural expression in hatred of the negroes they can no longer own. This . spirit seeks to avenge, emancipation by a refusal to employ negro labor. It also seeks to defy the judgment . which the world has recorded against slavery, by resorting to that form of human bondage which is the nearest approach to the system which has just been abolished. - The people of the United " States have abolished slavery in all possible forms. It can no more be tolerated under the name of coolie trade than under any other name. The people have declared that henceforth all men in the United States shall be free, and be invested with an equality of civil rights. The coolie trade is a system of supposed voluntary slavery, but it is not the less slavery, and the contracts under which these unfortunates may be introduced in this country will be repudiated by the courts and by the people as violative of the spirit and intention of the constitutional guarantees of personal freedom. We think: the time has come when the traffic in coolies should, like that in slaves, be outlawed by civilized nations as piracy. I . .' Omar Pacha has at last the great satisfaction of telegraphing to his master, the Sultan, that the Island of Crete Is tranquil, and there is every reason to fear that his dispatch is true. The dispatch is received . by the Sultan while he is enjoying the hospitality of Her Most Christian Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain. Some idea, may be formed of the manner in which the tranquilization has been brought about by the following extract" from the Elpis, (IlopeJ'a paper published in Athensi" Greece, under date of June 15th: The last acts of Omar Pacha, after his unsuccessful expedition against Lassithion, surpass every. known atrocity. He has burned fifteen, villages; he has ordered the martyr's death, by crucifixion, ol many unarmed Christians; he has forty Christians to sign petitions composed by himself. Such are the fiendish deeds of the great General who has at his command a large fleet and powerful army of 40,000 men, with many fortresses, to cru'h a handful of naked and half-starved Cretans, who have nothing to sustain them but their love of liberty, Christianity and civilization, aud who depend upon the Charity of the Christian world to help them. . , r. Things have got jstrangely'-turned about in this world, when a Christian people honor and toast a Turk, who is, at the time they pay him such honor, engaged in burning Christian villages, and crucifying their inmates. What estimate can be placed upon the intelligence or morality of a people who vilify the Mexicans for destroying the life of a usurper and invader of their conutry,' and' at the same time receive, with open arms and every 'manifestation of enthusiasm, a ruler whose garments are dripping with the blood of Christian martyrs and patriots. It does seem as though justice had fled to brutish beasts, and men had lost their reason.

Political. John Minor Botts has taken the stump in Virginia to win over his old Whig friends to the Republican party. They were almost all opposed to secession, and many remained Unionists throughout the war. He tells them they have no business in the ranks of the secession, State sovereignty Democrats, but exhorts them to join the party of equal rights and national sovereignty. A well-informed Washington correspondent states that Andy JohnSDN actually believes that the Democratic party will nominate him to the Presidency next year ; and he reckons ca his great persona! popularity with the masse, and his immense hold on the affecti ns of .the Copperheads and Confederates, for ah election..,'., ' Mr. A. II.i.SxEPHEN is. reported "v"T6rre3poT(3 Times, to liivef-u;:'J a recent conit i if, !

The Xenia Torchlight remarks: " It

appears to be almost a foregone conclusion that George II. Pendleton is to be the Democratic candidate for next President. George is eloquent, and elegant, and polished, and doesn't smell of any of your ' demnition'. blood of the ' unholy war.' " v " A special dispatch to the. Cincinnati Gazette, tyi that a leadipg Republican member of Congress, heretofore opposed to impeachment, called on Stanberry andSe6reary McCUL-r loch, , and, plainly, told them that they and the President had been putting obstacles in the way' of the execution of the laws all along, and if that course was continued, the first business of Congress at the next session would be impeachment, and the thing would be brought about. Both, gave assurances that they would favor a faithful execution of the laws, and especially of the Reconstruction law. Mr. StAnberry said the President was in great fear of impeachment, and said, moreover, that he had made

up his mind at the expiration of his term to .go to Tenuessee and offer himself , as a candidate for United States Senator. Another fact connected with General Grant's evidence before the Congressional Committee has leaked out. He says, in reference to the Presidential tour last summeT, thai he was invited to go by the State Department and declined, and did not waive his objections and consent till he had been personally urged by the President to accompany the party. Senator Wilson, in his Saratoga speech last week, stated that Grant, Thomas, and Sheridan were not only in favor of negro suffrage in the South, but all over the country. Senator Fessenden, of Maine, h: declared himself in fuvor of General Grant's nomination for President. The Pope of Rome graciously ordered a Mass for the repose of Maximilian's soul. The ceremony took place in tha Sextine Chapel in the Eternal; City." , - ; ; One of Webster's Speeches. The following went the rounds of the newspaper press years ago, and was attributed to Webster. Daniel was evidently somewhat tipsy when he spoke this "piece: " "Men of Rochester. I am glad to see you, and I am glad to see your noble city. Gentlemen, I saw your falls, which I am told are one hundred and fifty feet high.- That is a very interesting fact. Gentlemen, Rome had her Caesar, her Stipio, her Brutus, but Rome, in her proudest days, had never a waterfall a hundred and fifty feet high! Gentlemen, Greece had her Pericles, her Demosthenes, and her Socrates, but Greece, in her palmiest days, never had a waterfall a hundred and fifty feet high! Men of Rochester, go on.
