The Cholera.
Nine deaths from Cholera occnrrcd
from the 3d to the 7th iust on the Low-^
ton plantation on Hilton Head island.
Mr. Kline and Mr. Farmer, white men,
and even negroes were the sufferers.
They had communicated with the qnar-!
antiucd vessels. We regret to learn that
Doctor Hardett, late Post Surgeon ut this
place, died of this disease at Tybee
island, while attending the sick. He
was a noble, w.?rm-henrted gentleman,1
and we deeply sympathise with the be- j
reuved family.
There were eighteen deaths from cholera
in New York on the 8th.
jE?~The friends of lien. D. Saxtow will
be pleased to know that he Las received
from the War Department his well deserved
brevet of Brigadier General in the
United States Array.

Louwiaim Politics.
Nf.w Oklkans, August 8th.
Governor Wells has issued an address
to loyal Lotitsianiaua, speuk'.ng in scathing
t? rius of theex-Cou'.ederdes; approving
the Convention of 18 -4; placing the
whole responsibility of the late riot on
the M iyrr and police; endorsing negro
suffrage and embracing I be Radie.il cause.
Th* Washington correnpoudent of the
New York Chmi/tercial Advertiser very
sensibly declares that it is high time that
the practice * of baying flour at $34 p* r
barrel, and giving it to the Indians who
nise more grain than they can nse, was
unt a stop to. An appropriation of $500, WXf
was pushed through Congress in
January last to feed the destitute Indians
in the Sonth west Another appropriation
of the same size was stnek in at the
lust minnte by Senator Doolittle to the
regular Indian Appropriation bill. It has
passed the Senate. The fact is that
the Iudians, for whom thi*se appropriations
are nude, do not get twenty-five
per cent, of the amount, and further*
more do not need anything.

dispatch to the Ledger says: General
She: Wan, in a dispatch to General Grant
states mat tne iato riot iu new urieans
was nut the effect of an hastily congregated
mob, as has been represented, bit
was the result of a prearranged plan of
the rebels to slaughter the leading Union
men of the State, an .1 that there is evidence
that the pl.ia was concerted weeks
ago. Sheridan also gives it as his opinion
that it is bo the the commencement
of the rebel plan to rid the Slate of loyal
men.
| The Lynchburg Virginian foicibly anys:
"There ure vast numbers of yoting j
men iu the South living in idleness, j
which we regret very mnch to sec. This, 1
says a cotemp >rurv, w v* tolerable when;
they posse ?eJ fori true-; but uow that |
most of them are penniless, it is an evil;
of vast magnitude. We know thitiuj
many cases these yonng men would be
glad to g^t work -of a certain kind, j
They would praet co law or medicine, j
or engage in merciutile pursuits, 02 !
manage a farm, or get np and deliver a i
lertur*-; bat, finding no opening in these [
j occupations, they are lying on lh< ir onrs '
j and doing nothing. The young men of
; the South mn*t come down to UMt1n.1l
labor?they must come to the conclusion
| that honest work with the band* is better
i than no work at all."

CHIEF. JUSTICE BIKFIMS OPINION OF THE
rONsHTl'TiON OK NliBTIl (AKOLIM.
I We extract the following from the Eh- .
! leigh VN. C.) Stuiulanl. It will l>e rtmem j
l>cred that President Johnson, through
his Piovisional Governor HolJen, called
this Convention together to amend the
Constitution to suit the new order of affairs.
This Constitution as amended, is
the one spoken of by Judge Ruffia.
"I consider that this is no Constitution,
because you:: Convention was not ?
legitimate Convention, and had no |>ower
to make u Constitution for ut?, or to alter
tnat wnich we had and have; and that it
cannot be made a Constitution, even by
popul.tr sanction, if these p >sitiuus be
correct, it ought to l?e rejected by the
people, as the easiest, simplest, and most ;
efficient method of setting the points .at |
rest, and avoiding many perplexing ami j
dangerous questions before the Judiciary i
1 bject to the organization of your
body as a Convention, because it was
called without the consent of the prOple
of North Carolina by the President of |
! the Uuited States, or uuder feu unlers:!
an act of clear aud despotic usnrpat.on,
which could not give the U>dy any
autiiority to bind the State or its inhabitants.
If it be said the President, or his
satrap?his Governor of a Province?did
not call, orj rather constitute the couventiou,
bat the delegates were elected
by the people, and there the body was
duly constituted, I deny it directly and
positively. Mr. Johnson require 1 a Convention
to perfuriu certain specific acts;
to annul the ordinance of sccessiou and
tender a return to the Union, or claim
its continued existence under the Constitution
of the United States; to emancipate
the slaves, and ordain that Slavery
shall never kerealter exist in this State,
and to repudiate the State * war debt"
All these were don*; the two first proiujrtIv
and in satisfactory terms: and ti??
third, at the last moment, uuder sulw
jeecti??n and in conformity to order*,
after having once refna d to adopt the
rasasarc. All vox done, I say, that
i w ui required, and Mr Johnson pr claimed
he had got ail he wanted; ha: we w re
b .ck as a Stat-, and might ch ose our
Representatives in Congress in conformity
to oar rights as a State, aud to our
la* regulating election* Was there any- |
thing more l'dr that Convention to do ? j
Were they chosen for ao.v other purpose,
eveu by tbqse who were allowed to vote j
for members? How dare they, then, go;
on to frame a Constitution, a law lor all
time, which is to be binding on those
who elected them for the eyds, and also
on th it U ga portion of the patriots aud
herons?**anp >rdoned Rebel*,' who were

President Johnson?whose prondest honor
is that be is a Southern loyalist?
sneer* thus;
" The i?ha of calling Mich r. convention

farcical. It is called to htisiintde in Philadelphia

This sounds very much like Toombs
and \\ l^fall iu the good old days ol Piert e
and Buchanan.
The Charleston .Yeirs, of a *ate dat",
says that this statement is far from bein^
irue, aua it oein-ves tnat the convention
could meet in it* own city, and invites it
to do so.
We were of opinion that the Southern
people had gained wisdoiu in the last
few years, and tlamght the News eorr** c
in its statement, but since the New Orleans
riot our faith is considerably shaktu.
