During the past week quitea number of cases et cholera have occurred in a very filthy quar- ter of the city of Baltimore, inhabited by de- graded coiored people. A camber of deaths have occurred from tne: isease, mostly among the class of persons mentioned. Yesterday the rd of Health sent some twenty cases tothe Hospital fortreatment. Active measures have been adopted for preventing the spread of the disease. William A. Aldrich commenced a suit in San Francisco Friday against Chas. W. Brooks & Co, for an attempt at fra id im assigning to the creditors of that firm a claim against Aldrich for $157,000. which had been paid in full. Brooks & Co. publish a card which they deny the accusation, and den ce it as a ma- lignant libel. The Roman Catholic Plenary Council hada Public cession in Baltimore, yesterday, at the Cathedral; Archbishop Kenrick celebrated pontifical mass and Archbishop Purceli preached. The decrees of the Council were in Latin. Bishop Paraga, of Marquetie, Wis- consin, is lying serionsly ill from the result of @ fall received last Wednesday. The Republican congressional convention for the 14th district of New York has nomi- nated for Congress Hon. J.H. Ramsey, presi- dent of the Albany and Susquehanna lroad Company. J The order issued by the Board of Health of Richmond a few weeks since, prehibiting the introduction of fish, oysters, and clams, on ac- count of the prevalence of the cholera, has been revoked. A gang of six men robbed the railroad office apd store at South Union, Ky., last week, taking about $1,300, of whicn SSUW0 were in specie, ana also a large lot of dry goods. Three of the men had their faces blackened. Itis rumored and credited in New Orleans that Governor Wells bas recently issued, or is about publicly issuing a proclamation re- lie ving all the sheriffs elected last spring, and appointing ethers in ther places, The election in Memphis Saturday was quiet. Sefton was elected Mayor. Both Cen- servative candidates were elected to the Legis- lature. The indictment for treason against L. F. Bul- jet inthe U. S.

Private despatches from Lynchburg say that the railroad consolidation scheme, instead of bring approved, as announced Saturday morning. was rejected by 116 majority. The Western Pennsylvania railroad was completed Friday, and the first engine over the road from Blairsville on the Penn- syivania railroad to Alleghany Uity. Queen Emma and suite sailed on the steamer Varderbilt from San Francisco, Saturday, for Honolula. A despatch from Victoria says that Oppen- heimer & Co., of Frazer river,have failed, with liabilities amounting to $200.00. Cholera in timere The Sun of this morning says:—In most of the cities, and even in coun'ry districts, we continue to bear of cholera. While the disease prevaiisip Philadelphia and New York, and the chief cities of the West, it is not sarprisirg that there should be some of it in Baltimore also, but generally it is here traced to indul- ce in improper eating or drinking. Yester- y exaggerated reports were circulated in re- gard to epidemic cholera raging in the south- ‘Western section of the city. Inquiry into the ‘Matter led to the discovery that, though sever- al deaths bad occurred Within the past few days from disease of a choleric type, yet as an epidemic there was mothing to fear. The facts learned are as tollows :—Ot Elbow lane, a nar- Tow street, running from Little Green street to Fremont, south of Columbia, and densely in- habited by cclored oyster shuckers and other families, eleven deaths have occurred within 48 hours from cholera, attributed by theattend- ing physicians to imprudence in diet. It is said that many of these shuckers have pur- chased condemned oysters, and taking them home ate them, almost every case resulting in a diarrhea er cholera attack, the latter being attended with the usual rice water discharges and collapse. Among those who died were Samuel Wil- liams. George Harding, Mary Harding and two women named Diggs and White, who died on Saturday, a woman named Smith. who died on Friday, and Wm. Hall, wife, sister and two children, all of whom died on Saturday. Some forty persens, some ill and others thought to be infected, were yesterday placed in ‘wagons and were taken down to Mariae hoepital, ow the Anne Arundel shore. Dr. Morgan states that some of the houses on El- bow lane are in a state of indescribable filth, there being as many as eighty persons in one, and no adequate means of ventilation or clean- liness. To this, as well as to other causes, no doubt, is attributable the fatal character of the diseace in that vicinity. In addition to the above, the commissioner ot bealth reports the case of Ann Jones, white. at Locust Point, who ate raw oysters and died esterday morning. Also, the death of an un- isown man on Orchard street, and of a Ger- man woman, aged 40) years, in the same sireet, who worked in an oyster-packing establish- ment, and died on Saturday. Wm. Williams, residing at No. 18 Alice Anna street, died from cholera on Friday evening. Wm. Barnes, residing in the eastern section of the city, was also attended by Dr. Dwinelle for cholera, and died on Saturday. The same physician re- ports three additional cases, all of whom were reported as doing well last evening. colored man on Cross alley, running sonth of Franklin street, between Green and Paca, was taken with cholera on Friday and died on Saturday. Richard Hovington, tweuty- five years old, a band on board the schooner J K. White, was removed, in the early part of the week, tothe Baltimore Infirmary, suffer- ing from the diarrbora, where he died on Fri- day of cholera. Semauus Ceneungp tn Mosite.—A writer in the Mobile [ribune stromgly censures “Ad- miral” Semmes for refusing to resign his posi- tion as Judge of the Probate Court, whose functions he has been forbidden by the United States Authorities to exercise. The reasons assigned by Semmes for refusing to resign are examined scriatim, and one of them is disposed of thue :—“* Again,’the Admiral says, ‘if there are large estates of deceased citizens unsettled; if widows and hans are suffering: if our people generally are groaning under this op- pression, Admiral Semmes is not oppres- sor.’ But if Admiral Semmes could" remove that op paeasion, by resiguing, so that some other good, com) in his place, and the bi longer obstructed, and he refuses to do 80, is he not to that extent particeps criminis im the op- pression 1” Steam Fine EnGixes aT Tae Paris Exui- BITION.—The steam fire engine is, we think, ex- Fina foo American invention, vod there. fore roposed trips by one of our city com: jen and also by a New York company to the Paris Exposition, will be of ad- vantage to our European neighbors.

THE FLINT FORGERY. The Philadelphia Ledger of this morning Publishes s statement in regard to the swind. ling dispatch passed upon that paper, which &t now appears was the work of ene H. M. Flint, of tms city, the notorious “ Druid,” of the New Yerk News. The dispatch was re- ceived throngh the New York correspondent of the Ledger. That paper says: “Our correspendent says that the original viet ce was given to him by Mr. H. M. Flint, or Washington, whois one of three or tour persons whe aid Bim in ring Wash- ington news. Mr. Flint confirms this, and the substance of his statement is as follows :—He Says thata ‘person in office’ told him that a paper dated at the Exeeative Mansion was seen on the table of the Attorney General, con- taining Inquiries on the subject of the dates and powers of the President in his retations to the present Congress, and relating to its legal- ity when so many States excluded trom a sentation, and requesting the Attorney Gen. eral’s opinion in writing, and that the ques- tiens sent to the Ledger are the same, in sub- —_— as those seen On the Attorney General's further says that another «person in of- fice’ told him that the President had been con- versing with an intimate friend in the Execa- tive mansion about the same time on the same questi or thesame subject. This statement of Mr. lint was subjected to a long and searching examination yesterday in Washing- ton by & person riaed t© speak for this paper, and the interview resulted in several material modifications of his original state- ment Mr. Flint now says that the ‘person in office’ told him that another person had told the ‘person in office’ that he, the other person, said that he bad seen the paper, and t hie informant about the alleged conversation in the White Honse between the President and sn ‘intimate friend’ said that the intimate friend had told another friend who had told still another person, and that this fourth per- vrs had relatea the conversation to him, Mr. int. “It will thus be seen that the character of \bece intormants of Mr. Flint is of but little consequence, as they were not narrating what came under their cial’ notice, but merel what they had heard other ple say. itis but fair to Mr. Fimmt tosay that he claims to have had a firm conviction of the truthfulness, accuracy and good faith of his informants, and oy he still claims to hold the same convic- on. «Thus far we have spoken of these all informants in office’ as though they have real existence, and as if Mr. Flint had acted in good faith, but we now come to a feature of the transaction that shakes that theory to the foundation. “Mr. Flint admits that having no more pre- cise information than the general and rounda- bout re} and that rot having 4 single note of the ed ‘questions’ in writing, that he deliberately sat down at his table and framed tn his own words what he ew to be the questions—professing to give text literally, with sorcerers ‘ing reierences to articles and sections of the titution—and sent this off for publication as the specific language of in- quiries submitted to the Attorney General by the President on one of the most serious topics that it is just now possible to raise. It is diffi cult to find proper language by which to char. acterize and condemn so unserapuiou transaction. and we leave it to ali those who read it to apply terms such as they deem most fitting to such @ subject. “In view of these admissions by the man to whom the story of the question is thus ulti- mately traced, we confess to having serious deubts as to how far his statements about hay- ing any informants at all can be credited, and 4s to whether he must not be considered es hay- ing manufactured the whole story, from be- ginning toend. He has been informed, indeed, that this will probably be the verdict of the public, unless he gives the names of the myste- ‘sons in Office, which he has thus far “In finally meng ory d of Mr. Flint, we have tosay, tbat if we had known the dispatch con- taining the questions came from him, they would never have appeared in the Ledger; but coming through a correspondent who has been connected with the paper for upwards of twen- ty years, We gave it tbat credit we thought it entitled to from his general accuracy.” Tare Worws axp LaGer Brer.—During the past few months the successful treatment tor the tape worm in thts city has been th ject of newspaper notice and complimen' the La Crosse s Democrat, although these maty customers are very frequently dislodged by appropriate prescriptions. But now profes- sional aid is unnecessary, the practitioner must seek new fields of conquest to gain no- toriety; cowhage, turpentine, mercury, and all the drastic and ble drugs se often pre- scribed for tape worm must be ignored. Lager beer, that much abused beverage, has proved itself equal to the emergency. A prominent citizen of Vernon county, Ual., whose health aedehie ese See eo had, at times, been poeee b impaired, recently exhibited symptoms induc! ing him to believe that «-worms™ was the cause of bis sufferings. a like, he eschewed food for three days drank noth- butlager beer. Having thus fasted and be bad the satisfaction of witnessing the result of bis prescription in the expulsion of a large tape worm measuring over thirty feet. This fact is worth the attention of medical men b: ‘whom tape worms are looked upon as so dif- ficult to master, and the successful treatment for which has been deemed worthy of especial notice. And as for lager beer, whether intox- icating or not. as a remedy for tape worm it will tau, “bear the palm’’ as a medicai ne of the most disgusting ailments to which fies! eir.
