We make . no claims of superior ability: for onr candidates; yet the citizens should have a' rightful representation; and we believe that no man or set of men should act on their own responsibilities.' Public -representatives are pub lic servants,-and their acts require publicity. We approve of the ordinances passed hy the late con vention and believe their adoption bythepeople an imperative duty ot the state of North Carolina, under existing circumstances. : As . regards the non-assumption of the rebel public debt in partic ular wer believe if rightfully placed before the peo ple the ordinance "wonld be unanimously sus tained. "' ! '.

L "MAIL. ...i THE AT NEW YORK. Panic Thei Movementi of the Health wrr commissi ouers. js-x - ,- .. The New York papers of last week come to us with details showing , the excitement caused in New York by the arrival of the cholera per the steamer Atlanta, at that city.. The Express says : : The Atlanta, arrived last evening, at the lower quarantine, and Dr. Watson went humediately on board. While making the medical examination, of the passengers,: he found .'s, large number sick, and .he soon ascertained, that .their, disease was Asiatic cholera. He found on' the second cabin eleven persons lying on beds, who had been strick en by'the scourge ; and others presented tokens of having the disease in a less violent form. Dr. Watson at once made inquiries in regard to the time the disease had first appeared on the steam er, and he ascertained that it had broken out two days after the vessel left Havre, where she took on board four hundred and forty-eight passenJ gers, and that a number had fallen victims to it, and were buried at sea, Having - proceeded through every part of the ship where persons were lying ill with the disease, he at once order ed that it should be anchored in the lower Bay, preparatory to ( further action. The vessel then steamed for the roadside, this side of Sandy Hook, where she remains, but all communication with her has been strictly forbidden by the health officer. . , ; MEETING OP THE HEALTH COMMISSION. Dr. Swinburne, the health officer; at once re ported these facts to the mayor and other mem bers of the health commission, and a meeting of that body was at once convened in tlieir office. Nearly all, the, members of the organization were present, and the attendance included the mayors of Jersey city and Brooklyn,, together with some medical gentlemen. The session was strictly private, but the proceedings were given to the press at the close. Dr. Swinburne having reported the detention of the Atlanta on the account of the Asiatic cholera on board, said there, were eleven cases of the disease on board the vessel, and that his assistant, Dr. Nelson, who made the medical ex amination of the ship, officially notified him of the fact. A discussion on the necessity of having a pro per quarantine accommodation for those afflicted by the scourge then took place, Dr. Sayers, Dr. Murphy, Mayor Gunther, and Mayor Cleaveland of Jersey City, participating in it ; after which a memorial to . the President soliciting Sandy Hook, br a poftion'of it," to be transferred to the Coinmission, for the purpose of -erecting hos pitals thereon, was prepared at a meeting held yesterday, when such a sudden appraoching of the disease was not anticipated, was taken up and approved. , , Dr. Sayers, Mayor Cleveland, and Dr. Murphy, were then appointed a committee to proceed at once to Washington to present the memorial to the President, with a view to have prompt ac tion taken upon it. The committee leave for Washington this eve ning. .. . ' The Commercial says : A resolution was presented by Dr. Sayers and adopted, inviting medical men and those ac quainted with the treatment of the cholera, to meet with the Commissioners of Health, and give them such advice and information, in re gard to the proper sanitary measures, as they may be possessed of. . The floating hospital ship Florence igh ten- gale, which' has been lying in thejUpper Bay, will at qnce be sent down to the Lower Bay, to receive the cholera patients from the Atlanta. Though the disease has been imported to our shores at this time, we do not think that any spe cial alarm need be felt at the present. - 4 As Dr. Snow siys, in an article which will be found on the first page of this paper, " vessels may have the cholera on board, and may land the sick on our shores, but the disease will never become epidemic, nor spread among' the people until that mysterious atmospheric condition is present." f ; mat mysterious atmospheric condition is not present now; how soon it may make its pres ence known, no human being can tell. It be hooves us, however, to prepare, immediately for me reception oi mis scourge. ioi a uuy is 10 be lost. ... . , ... ;-, i REPUDIATIONS Despatch from the President tot the Got " ernor of Georgia.

Looking at English politics from our independent standpoint, we seek in vain for a premier who can organize a permanent adminis- tration. Earl Russell is already suggested ; but he is particularly unpopular, and the opposition to him has. always been, and will continue to be, most vehement and determined. Lords Gran ville and Clarendon are mentioned; but they have no strength whatever, even with their own party. Gladstone has, been prominently named; but tlie recent election at Oxford showed that the aristo cracy of the English church were inimical to him, and his liberal suffrage speeches have arrayed all the conservatives against him.

An important case was tried before the United States district court, at Memphis, Tennessee, last week. It was that of Park against Hamilton, and its history was . as follows : In the year 1862, while the rebel forces still held possjession of Memphis, the defendant, Thos. A. Hamilton, was appointed by the rebel government an agent to seize certain sugars and cotton, the property of merchants whom it was believed were purchasing and holding such commodities upon speculation, m view of the probable surrender of Memphis t the federal forces, and against the laws-of the rebel congress, and the declared policy of that government, whose officers were ; instructed to prevent the undue accumulation of: articles of prime commercial value at points as' seriously threatened as Memphis then was. In obedience to instructions then given him, Hamilton seized a number of hogsheads of sugar, the property of Dr. A J. Park valued at 75,000 and turned it over to the rebel receiver or quartermaster, or , with other sugars at that time seized, sent it south by railroad.' No . vouchers were - given, but a memorandum was made at the time of the value and number of barrels and hogsheads, and in some cases, We believe, copies of such were fur nished the owners. Dr. Park now brings suit against Mr. Hamilton to recover the yalae of the property so seized. ,.-, . , , ... - ., On the, 28th ultimo the jury came into court and announced that they were Unable to aaree upon a verdict,' and the case goes to the next term of the.court; ' f. ., ,- ; r. -.-. Another case of . importance came up before the court on the 28th "ult. It' was' that of Thomas R. Chester against F. Titus, R. C. Brihkley, and others, members, of the-vigilance committee, of 1861. Mr4 Chester sues the vigilance committee, or such of its members as are now. living, to re cover the value of a steamboat ' seized by that body and afterwards turned over1, 'to-tlie rebel government and destroyed; and having been a residents St. Louis during the war, being all the while recognijfed as a,lojral man. If he es- tabl'shes tha fact oL seizure and destruction, ac cording to the.charge of JudgeTwiggin the case of Park Hamilton, he, will, it is, thought, recover the full value of .his craft from' the parties sued.
