Prosidont MacMahon rofuses to accord tho Carlists tho bolligorent rights for which thoy have sought formal recognition, and forbide Spnnish Ropublicans in France to sond thoir countrymon any aid. ———y Tho Apportionment Committeo in the Ohio Constitutional Convention has reported in favor of ndopting tho cumulative systom of voting nt plections in that State, s now practiced in Ilinois. e — No white man hns over boen hangod for tho murder of an Indian. James Pickott, of Idaho, 1 tho first man over sontenced to death for that ¢erime, ond, ns tho Attornoy-Gouoral has de- - plined to recommond him for pardon, ha is to be pxecuted to-day. e — All tho partios undor trial for tho kidnapping of Lord Gordon havo boon committed by Judgo Botournoy for trial in October. Tho very im- portant quontion whothor tho prisonora should bo reloased on bail until that timo ia now under congideration. Nancy nnd Verdun aro now the only places in France hold by the Gormans, Moziercsand Chaxrle- ville baving been evacunied yostorday., Naucy will bo Leld for a fow days longer, after which the Gerninn troops will maintain a formal stand 84 Vordun until tho 6t of Septombor. re——— The Ropublicans of Iroquois County, in this Btato, have concludod that this is a bad yesr for party nominations, so they have decided not to hold & perty convention. A gouoral convention of all votera without distinction of party has beon called to nomioate & ticket for county oficars. This is o virtual abandonment of tho party orgamzation, and a confession that regular nominations, it made, would bo dofeated by tho farmors, If tho intentions of tho Canadisn Government mny bo gothered from the iutterances of tho oflicial press, thero will bo no further investiga~ tion of the Canadian Pacific Railway scandal during this session of Parliament, and that body «ill bo prorogued in time to pravent any debate on tho subject. 'Thia policy ia ir noticenblo con- trast with tho profossions’ of the Cabinot that they have Leen foully slandered, and yoarn for nothing 8o much 88 an opportunity to meot their accusor Tundreds of mon are in pursuit of the Tows railrond robbers, who are hurrying as rapidly a8 thoir blooded horses will bear them- back to Miesouri, whence they camo. Thero scoms litllo doubt that they aro veritable Missourt bushwhackers. As the officors in purauit havo got botween thom and thoir place of refugo, and all the intervoning country is alarmed, their capturo moy bo reasonably hoped for. A reward of $500 ench has been offored by tho Governor e{ Towa for their approhonsion. PR ——— Tho Providence Journal says thatthe senti- mont in Rhode Island sgainst removing tho landed qualification for naturalized voters is nlmost unanimous, smong Domocrats a8 well ag among Republicans, and that every effort to re- move it has ouly left it stronger than before. Ity offect upon tho immigrant population has boen oxcollent, lorge numbers of them having purchased homestonds, which have not only been {good investments in & pecuninry point of view, Lut have also given their ownors s position and importance which thoy could have obtained in 1o other way. The Chicngo & Alton Railroad Las decided not to prosecute the suits which it instituted somo time sinco ngainst & number of farmors in MecLoan nnd Livingston Countios, who delayed tho Lusiness of tho road by refusing to poy moro thau tho legal fare, and also by declining to bo vjoctod from the trains, In a conferenco you- torday botweon tho reprosontatives of the read and tho Railrond Commiseioners, the former stated that its tariff would be rearranged within tho next four weeks so s to removo ol cause for the compluints of oxtortion ovoked by the prosont rateu. Aftor tho Alilwaukeo & 8t, Paul Railrodd ro- fused the Bt. Croix land-grant, tho Wisconsin Rallway Company was formed to accept it, bub thoy have failod o far to deposit tho socurition required by law, or to begin wotk. 'The rosponsi- bility for this delay Is charged by Mr. J. W, Cary, ono of tho Directors, upon Gov, Washburn, who innint+, ho says, upon unreasonable and unwar- rantod nequiremonts, Thoso nre, in offeot, that the Compauny must have sixty miles of road in running ordor by Maxoh 17, 1874, failing in which thioy forfeit $260,000, Thoy are aleo roquired to construct forty milos osoh year theroatter till the rond Iy finlshed, The Milwaukeo & Bt, Paul Railroad {8 to be #uod in tho Fedoral Courts and the Stato Courts of Winconsin for its attompts to bLridge tho Mis- alssippl sbovo LuOrosse, in dlsrogard of the ordors of tho Bocrotary of War and the docislon of tho Wisconsn Loglalature, The United Btatos CGovornment is one of the prompouting partios, aud, through the District Attornoy, hos applied for an injuuction to provent any furthor work on the bridge, and for an order for the re- moval of the same aud othor preluniuary ob- structions which have alroady been placed in tho river. Tho Company fa also to ba sued for tho obstruction of Dlack River, to the injury of tho lumbormen, p — Gliono, tho Italian slavo-driver of Now Ilavon, hns boon held in £4,000 bail to snewer for his trostmont of four little Iiallan boys whom Lo held ne slaves. Thoy had boon sold to him for four yonrs by thoir parents, who wero to rocolve $20 o yoar, fnd woro bound to pay all exponses for modieal attention, and woro to forfeit all thoir enrnings and $80 if tho childron ran away. Gliono was doclared by tho littlo boys to have brutally malircated thom, and to havo imstruoted them to stenl if thoy could not othorwlse obtaln tho daily sum L oxaoted from thom. Ie was indioted undor tho Nullifloation not of 1854, passed by tho Cone nocticut Loglulaturo in opposition to the Fugi- tive Blave sat, but novor nsed till now. . The tenor and drift of ox-Bonator Yates' spooch at Qriggsvillo, on tho TFourth of July, was that, although ho may have had delirium-tromens, ho nover had tho grabs. Ho frankly confossed all Lis shortcomings and faults, but said they were offensea against himseelf, Whon at Washington, tho victim of his one unconquerablo woaknoss, tho various Credit Mobilior statesmon efthor looked down upon him with contompt, or, if thoy took any mnotice of him, it was to make an ostontations display of tholr Christian zoal for his roformation. In his epeoch at Griggaville, ho took up tho soveral actors in the Credit Mobilier, and varions othor frauds, and ventilated their history and their hypocrisy. It was rather sovero upon his old official associntes for him to call attention to the fact that, whilo porhaps thelr lnds did not 8bako, they wore not so cloan a8 his own. The partially-averted horror which the Yown baudits did their bost to prooipitato forthe gain of & fow hundred dollars may securo for us abrosd a roputation somothing like that of Grooco with its murderous ontlaws, but it ought, ot tho same timo, to remove the improssion which obtains in England that every man in this country kills » cortain number of his cncmios boforo broakfast, and thon picks his teoth with bis bowio-knifo. Ilere woro Eoveral cars fillod with people coming from the Wostern frontior, whero peoplo aro supposed to go with six-shootors hanging from thoir bolts, and, whon the train was attacked bya small band of robbers, six or cight at the most, there wnos only ono weapon found, and that sn indif- forent ono in tho possession of o small boy. This occurrence, which took place 1,600 miles from Now York,—which in England is regarded as tho contro of American civilization,—should indnco the Saturday Review to roconsidor some of its bristling ossnys on the rovolver os an Amorican vade mecum. —eee Tho Chicago produce markets wero rathor moro activo yosterday, Mess pork wag quict, and 250 per brl higher, closing at §15.60@15.60 onsh or sollor August. Lard wos dull, and bo por 100 Iba lower, at $8.00@8.05 for winter, and $7.50@7.60 for summor rondered. Meats were quiet and firmer, nt 75@7%c for shoul- ders, 9@9}e for short middlcs, and 10@12}60 for sweot-pickled hams. Lake froights woro active ond steady, at S¢ for corn to Buffalo, Highwines wore dull and nominal, at 91a per gollon. Flour was moro sctive, and unchangoed. ‘Wheat was rather moro active, and avoraged o shado lower, closing at 81.213¢ seller the month, and $1.14%¢ sollor August, Cormn waa activo, and 34o lower, closing nt 863{c ensh, and 8Gj§c sollor August. Oats were active, and 3¢ lowor, closing at 273(c cash, and 26340 seller August, Ryo was quist and 1o higher, closing at 580, Barley was firm and 1o higher, closing at 8o for now No. 2, sellor Septembor. Thore was fairne- tivity in tho hog market but tho fecling was onsier. Sales at 84.50@1.95, The cattlo trade was active at unchanged pricos. Shoop met with & good demand at 260 per 100 1bs advanco. Thore is a very gonoral religious rovival in TFrance, which has boon progressing ever since the cossation of tho Franco-Prussian war, and which takes tho form of sacred pilgrimnges. The favorite resort this soason is at Paray-lo- Montal, where is located the Convont of the Visitation, colobrated during the last 200 years for the lifo and death of Marie Alacoque, This was & holy woman who claimed to have had ‘miraculous interviows with tho Savior, who ap- ponred to her in person, and made her a portial partakor of His Bacred Heart. Honco tho religious coremony of tho dovotion of tho Sacrod Hoart of Jesus, which tho French pil- grims aro now colobrating. Thoso pilgrimages are rogarded as possossing o political signifi- canco, and cortalnly, s compared with the roligiona condition of the peoplo under tho Em~ pire, they indicate o growing strongth among tho olergy. Tho Empress Bugonio is nid to look upon thom as practical demonstrations in favor of Imporialism. DBut the Logiti- mists alto nssumo thom to bo in their ifutorest. At a recent dato, fifty of tho Con- servative mombers of the Assombly, represont- ing their party, made a pligrimage to the Bacrod Honrt at Paray. This proceoding cortainly hod o politieal significanco, Ono of tho Fronoh Journals puts on frreligious mot {nto MaoMalion's mounth, who, whon it was ropresented to Litn that tho pilgrimages woro dangorous, replied, #All a mistake. Tons of holy water aro less dangorous than a quart of petrolenm.” e —— MINNESOTA POLITICS. Tho result of tho rocent Minuesota Ropub- lican Btate Convention oxomplifies the truth of the old ndage, ‘*There's many a slip "twixt tho cup and tho Lip." - It has now transpired that Mr. W. D. Washburn was reslly nominated on tho third ballot, and yet Mr. Davia is the Ro- publiean candidato for Governor. This ballot stood ¢ W. D, Washburn,. 63 0., Davls, 49 Horaco Austin. 1 Heattering, . 4 Tho four scattoring votes woro cast for W. W, Dillson for Attornoy-Genoral ; but, as thoro was o bargain botwoen Billson and Washburn, by which tho mutusl support of the respestive forcoa was pledged, the four votos, oronly ono of them, would have nominated Washburn if they had beon cast as they wero intended. Tho blunder was in roality a doublo one, Tho frionds of Billson made & blundor in supposing that tho time had come to vote for him, and thon the tollora mado o blundor in classifying tho four Dilleon votos s scattering. If the result had ‘beon proporly returned, these four votos, which wora glven for Attornoy-Genecral whon he wag not votoed for, would havo boon thrown out, and ‘Washburn then would also have bad a majority. Tho 8t, Paul papors montlon soveral othor facty, which go to show that it was a very bad day for the Washburn family, sud that ill-luck mot tho Minnosota branch at every turn, It sooma that tho Conventlon adoptod n rule that, when any of tho mombors of a dologation woro absent, hoso romalning might cast tho wholo vote, The Lo Buour dologation stood two for Washburn ond two for Davis, At tho timoof the socond ballot, tha two Davis mon woro abnont, and the two Washburn mon cast tho vote of tho wholo four for Washburn, nnd on this ballot Davis lind 106 and Washburn 144, Whon tho Davis men roturnod they were vory indignant at tho triok which had boon played upon thom, and doclarod that if they woro not allowod to cast the wholo four votos.for Davis on tho third billot thoy wonld oxposo tho trick. The Wash- burn mon reluctantly consonted, rather than meot the oxposure. Iad thoy voted, however, 88 thoy desired to, Washburn would have boon nominated on the third ballot, as ho neoded but ono voto to have a majority. Simllor blundors havo happened bofore. In ono of the Doemocratio Btate Conventions of Ohio, in which McCook and Ewing woro the compotitors, tho lattor lost the nomination by an accident, but ho hnd the satisfaction of seeing MoCook beaton by a tremoendous majority in tho placo of having to moot with tho dofent himself. Mr. Washburn may dorivo somo consolation from this incident, aa it ia highly probablo thab Davis would have run for Governor oven if ho had not beon nomiunted by tho Gonvention. The * boys" wero dotermined to smash tho ring this timo, and it thoy Liad not done it in conven- tion they would have dono it outside. Mr. Washburn's frionds eovidently tako this same viow of tho case, as they have acquicaced in tho nction of the Convention, and do not propose to put any obstaclos In the way of the succossful nominco. — PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA. Thero has boen an impression, oven among educated mon, that Asiatio cholors, when it comog, comes liko o simaom in a Byrian desort, sweoping everything beforo It in itadeadly forco. But it tho disoaso now provalont in cortain por- tions of Tennosseo, Missouri, Ohio, and Ken~ tucky bo cholera, n it isxoported, thon cholora has ita vagarioa liko othor mortal attributes and conditions. Itis not strango, porhaps, that it should have first made its apponrauco in Now Orloans, 0a it might be brought into tho coun-~ try thoro aa woll as at any othor scaport. In 1849, tho clhiclora camo from this direction. But tho disonse of tho prosemt year, after having been carriod to Memphis, seomed to take an or~ ratic courso, jumping ovor cities and large towns, or nbandoning them with but a slight visitation, | and spreading out among tho smaller towns and villages. Whon it crossed the Ohio it attncked the town of Mount Vernon, Indians, moro 6av- agoly; and 8o in Missourl it picked out a little town called Louisinnn for its vietim, in both in- stances loaving the large cities of Cinein~ natl aod St. Louis comparativaly freo from its ravagos. - Evor sinco it began to* sproad, it hus taken atrongest hold upon small sottloments, and it is from obscure villages such as QGreenville, Tonn,, Princeton, Ind., and Cromwell, Ky,, that tho roports of tho dis- onso como most froquonily., Though it long sinco loft Now Orleans, tho local papers roport it a8 raging in 8t. Jamoes, Asconsion, and noigh-~ ‘boring parishes. Whilo this seoms to bo an- snomalous condition, it is not without rea- son that tho country towns suffer most whon' tho clolora onco breaks out among them. Tho great ndvantago of largo cities in denling with the disenso is to bo found in thoir artificial underground drainago. It was long sinco ascertained that tho groatest dangor of infoction In cholora soagon ia in the evacuations which contain the poison. In large citios, with nn adequato seworago system, thess aro quickly carriod off beforo they have had tho timo to oxhalo their poisonous mattor, and the roceptacles in which they are deposited aro immodiatoly cloansed with running water. In villages nud small towns, howover, thera is no roady means of disposing of the poison which mokes its apposranco in this form. Tho peoplo gonorally have not & full approcintion of tho neceasity for hurrying it away, snd, if thoy had, do not possesa tho menng. As o rulo, tho ovacuations are troated in tho usual way, and tho poison thoy contain is cought up'by tho air and spread about ; peoplo inhalo it unsuspectingly, aad it is thus commu-~ nicated so gonorally and rapidly that it ontruns all tho offords to chock it. This is the main ad- vantago which citfos hove ovor the country towns in cholera times, but there are others. Tho ety markets ave, as a rulo, puror and bettor thon those of small towns, for the ohoicest produce of the gardens is sent whero it commands tho bhighest prices. Tho quality of now vogotables oxorts an important influcnco on tho conditions which make poople ‘mora or loss suscoptible to the poisonous attack, The medieal sorvico of the citios is also moro officlent and experiencod,and tho auxilinry monus of caring for the sick and preventing tho spread of tho disoaso are superior and moro ample. Those circumstances ghould commond thoms solves, not merely ag an explanation of the fact that tho cholera thin scason Ia making greator havoo in small towns than in largo citios, but aa o roason why the residents of the cities should avoid tho gonoral rush to the country which Is mado whonover tho approach of tho diseuse is announced, It will bo woll to keop this in mind if tho cholera shall threaton Chicago this year, No other city in tho country has suporior moans for holding it in chacl. There is also a popular error in regard to the troatment of cholora, Itis generally bolioved that tho first aud mast necessary thing in an altnck of cholors is to chock the movemonts of tho bow- olg which aro the usual ovidencos of the disoase, Ina treatiso on Modorn Moedicine, in the current number of the North American Review, this’ mouner of procoeding is shown to be radieally wrong. Itis now known that cholora is o polaon, absorbed in the blood by inhalation or through food or wator. A blood diseaso is thus produced, the particlos of poisen rapidly multiplying thom- solves, and tho coplous dischargos aro the offorts of nature to throw off the poisonous mattor which has Infectod the systom. TFormiorly it was the practicc of physiciann to check tho profuso fluxes by oplum, asutringents, nnd stimulsuts. This practico wns so gonoral that, when Dr. Qoorgo Jobuson first jntroduced the new and prosont thoory to tho Medico-Chi- rurgicsl Boclety of Tondou, in 1800, it was recoived with the ntmost dls- fovor. A hoatod coutroversy onsued, but tho ro- gult was that Bir Thomas Watson, the Prosidont of the Bocloty, was finally convinced, adopted tho opinions of Dr, Johnson, and naunounced that tho new trentmont of tho disenso had hoon fully ostablished by reason aud exporience, Tho now practico i to facilitate, though not to excite, tho dlschargos from the mucous surface, and thus oliminato the poison from the systom. "I'hiy treatmont eadily commonds itsclf to the rongon, If tho dimchargos haston the unf- lapso, thon tho collapse should Do tho moro suddon whonevor the dischorges aro more than usinlly coplous. The fact.is that pationts como out of the collapso while ovacua- tions are going on, but that & cossation of tho dischargon 18 o fatnl sign. Xxperionco has also domonstratod that tho most daugorous attacks, ‘and thoso that most quickly prove fatal, are in cnsos whoro thore are no dischargos. In oholors timo, it in usunl in overy caso of suspeotod -cholora'to commonce a home troatmont whilo waiting for tho physiolan, and this homo treat- mont i usually just tho revorso of what it ought to bo. —e Eaoh frosh involoo of news from Spain only adda to the confusion and anarohy which provail in that country, and indioates tho rapid-approach of that time whon tho Ropublia munst give way to tho Monarchy, loaving to Don COarlos tho un- enviablo task of reatoring order out of chaos. The sacking and burning of Igualads, following 80 closoly upon the rocont sovoro dofoat of thoRe- publicans and the Intornationslist insurroctions b Alcoy, Malaga, and Cartagens, show that sinco Don Osrlos ontorod Spain his causo hag pro- grossod with incronsed rapidity. Iguslada, the city destroyod by tho Carlists, is about 83 miloa from Barcolonn, and has s population of over 10,000 inhabitants, Its chief public bulldings aro o parish church, college, hospital, and cavalry barracks. In addition to thisit has manufactures of cotton goods, cotton and woolen thrend, hats, and firoarms, and many distillorics and paper- mills. Porhaps the bost comment upon thoe in- efficioncy and confusfon of counsels which pro- vails smong tho Ropublicans i tho action which has boon taken with roferonco to tho crows of cortain Spanish men-of-war. Tho orews of alx war vessols rovolted, whereupon the Govern- ‘mont donouncedithom as pirates, and authorized tho world to treat them as such,—an act of au- thority which is not likely to involvothom in any spocinl dangor. Upon thia subjoct tho Ropubli- can Cortes was divided, and for o timo hosl- tatod whother to expross disapprobation of tho conduct of the crows or tho Government itself | Buch ehilly-shallylng as this, in the faco of sn nlarming danger, is the strongost possiblo proot of tho utter incompotency of {tho Governmont, and the Cortos also, to deal with tho situation, Tho rallroad kings in the SBouth sre just now having o spioy time among themsolves, ponding that timo when the people will commenco to en- gogo their attontion, as thoy aro now doing in tho North. A yearor two ago, whon the Hon, ‘W. A. Bmith was Presidont of tho North Caro~ lina Railrond, ho wrote to tho Hon. R. R. Bridgors, Prosidont of the Wilmington & Wol- don Railrosd, for o pnga over his line, which Bridgors rofused to grant. Recontly Bridgers and family arrived at Salisbury in his gorgeous Pullman car.* Ho there spplied to Bmith for a pass, which Bmith refused to grant. Bmith fur~ thermore sent for his conductor and informed bim that if Bridgors wont ovor tho rond in that car ho was to pay $25, bosides actunl fare for him- s0lt and overy momber of his family, and if it was not paid, the car must bo switched off tho rond ot the first turn-out. Another refreshing time oceurred rocently af o meeting of tho stockhold- dors of tho Atlantio, Tonnosseo & Ohio Road, of ‘whioh Col. William Johnston, of North Gnrol(iu, is Presidont. At this meoting, one of the prom- inont stockholders charged tho Prosident with spoonlating in tho bonds of the road,—n charge ‘whioh the President said was ‘' infamous, falso, blacl, and damning aa holl iteolt,"—whoreupon the atockbolder told tho Prosidont ho waas o liar, and took the papors out of Lis pocketand proved thochargo. Tho othor stockholdors thon ousted him and olectod & now Prosident. Times are evidontly geiting lively for the Bouthern ronds, but they aro vory dull compared with wwhat they will be whon the Granges got sftor them. The oditor of the Frankfort (Ky.) Feoman is not pleased with the way in which the Louisville Courter-Journal {8 odited, and lately gavo notice to the propriotors of that papor that ho was not to bo oxpoctod to lmow, or hunt up, any of the irresponsible writers for the Courier-Journal, and, as the editor, Mr. Wattorson, was in Europe, ho would hold tho propriotors porsonally respon= sible for what appoarod in thelr paper. To this notico Mr. O. E. Boaxs roplies that, when Mr. Wattorson was loaving, the editorial conduct of tho papor was placed in his (Soars”) nands, and ho ia respousible for the articies which the odi- tor of tho Yeoman, Mr. B.1. M. Major, docs bite hig thumb at, What next ? Anothor ease of editorial amonity is furnished by n tomporanco paper in Madison, Ind., which alsplays the motto, ** With malico toward nono; with charity for nll,” and thus rofers to tho edi- tor of enother paper printed in the samo town : A man who will abuso and tyrannizo over hia poor, nicldy, but kind, Isdy-liko and afXcctionato wife might ‘be oxpectod to uphold whisky aud gambling.

Ho is now known as ' Gen) M. B. Littloficld, and was formerly s rosident of Clicago. Mo loft this city at tho outbreak of the War in company with the Marino Battory, an institution that also came to griet, if wo romomber aright. Littlofield found his way into Tloridn,whore he conceived the iden of building a railroed, known fow a8 the Jackeonville, Ponsn- cola & Mobile Rosd. ThoBtate of Florida, sadly in noed of internal improvements, Issued $4,000,- 000 bouds in aid of this rond, It did not take vory long to exhaust this fund, however, for whon ninetoon miles of tho road were completed tho contractors had to suo for tho money, and tho rond was ordered to bo sold undor an execu- tion. This was but tho firet of » sories of com- plications, with tho final result of an application of the holders of -tho firat-mortgage bonds for o foreclosure, and tho courts have jssucd a do- croo for the salo of the wholo conmcorn, Its condition may bo inforred from n statomont now mado that thorond is without any first-olaus enrs, tho last £wo having boen sold by tho United Statos Marshal, “ Gon.” Littlefiold In said to bo proparing to loave the Stato in disgust; but what haa become of the §4,000,000 will probably be found hereafter, Tho English journals are commonting sovere- 1y on tho doclsion of the Buprome OCourtof the United Btates in the New Orloans caso of dis- tilled spirits, One Mr, Honderson, in 1808, ‘bought s hundrod barrels of eplrits, aud in order to guard sgalust tho dangor of fraud Lo took thom from the bonded warehouse and paid the rovenuo tax himsolf. On arrival at 8t Louls, whero ho had shippod thom, tho spirita wore seized on tho ground that they , “werc manufsctured at somo place within the United Btates to tho sald attornoy un- known, and woro removod from the placo where distilled with intent to dofraud tho United Btatos.,” Aftor.golng through all tho courts, tho Supromo Court deolared tho spirita forfoited, although tho tax had boon pald on thom.
