Journal OF Commerce SAYS that two or three years
ag, he was an apprentice to Mr.. Pye learning the
trade of locksmith.
We trust TIA, this death will lead to an invcs
tigation Of the whole subject, and to adequate
remiJical measures. Thomsonianism, properly
understood and practiccd, may, tor aught we
know to the contrary, be as salutary and lite sa-
wing a system of medicine as any other exfant
The difficulty is, that so many Prctcnders SO many
nero charL0kans attempt to pIactlce under IT,
without either the slightest acquaintance Of
botany, chemistry, any other principle OF med
icinc whatever. How can such men, having no
knowledge Of pathology or anatomy, be supposed
capable Of administering remedies for the dcsca-
ses of the human frame? As well might !:
shpwrisht, with no knowledge Of tho law, at
tempt to practice as an attorney, or a baker to
make boots. Thomsoniansm in the hands Of
scientific men, may be, and VIC doubt not Is, a
salutary system; but in the hands of the igno-
rant ana unprincip'ed-mere ic!crs and vaga-
bonds. too indolent to work for an honest liveli-
hood, it is indeed, dreadful engine Of imposition
and death.-Bicknell.
INITIATING THEIR BErrERs.-There is report
Of certain proceedings before the Mayor, given IN
Tuesdays Express, which shows that the gentle
men of color in Cincinnati, have been initiating
their white brethren in the administration OF sum-
mary Justice They tried Mr.. Joseph Kite, one
Of their own color, upon sundry charges, and
without hearing him, passed sentence OF lynch
ing An attempt was made TO execute this SEN
tence, which resulted in experimenting the sup
posed lynchcrs. Owing to some mistake, one
only Of the party was brought up, and he was
recognized to answer Tho Express gives a
musical account of the testimony, from which we
make this extract.-CIn. GaZ.
ssDe week before last, at the Moral Reform So
ciety, which l'sc a member Of, revolution were
Richard b. Phillips, (if I don't disremember) to
lynch dose persons was prove guilty OF Ger
tn immortal and undorpestcatn acts, sich rs
enticin dc ladies' Of the ncighborhood. De Moral
Reform Society, which mentioned, IS for keep
i'm straight do members, and discussin questions
Of abolition AMI education, ana de bindin rules OF
conscossiated christians. Well, as was saying,
at dc meetin dis night two weeks, a revolution
was exposed to de effect Of discoverin what per-
sons were premiscuously engaged in cmbellishin
from the path of virtuous concoursc certain anin-
territorial young ladies, as well as the crime OF
kidnappi in general.
Question by compliments counsel: Do yon
mean to say that the question OF lynching Ger
tain indiv iduals was discussed by your Moral Re
form Society?
Witness: Dc question were Discriminatory dis
cussed by Mr.. Crissup-dat gemmln (pointIng
to one Of the deienlants) wild his head tied. And
when he sot down cotchcd dc thread of his con-
tendiu observations. Says /, after few prlma-
cious words-says j, for den began TO grow un-
common ho:-says !, its my opinion dis revo-
luton is indistinctive Of christian virtusy. Soto
prove dis proposal, Iquotcd some varses of Scrip
ture and such like Mr.. Crissup followed me in
course, and he stuck out, as dc Moral Reform
Society couldn't gender its principles by spiritual
contortions, the only way left for success was
physic and force-(phvsical force.) 1riz once
more, and argufed dat dis was de genus OF mob.

SIGH notions desarved do meefin's censury and
should be discommunicated from de Siety. l
said no more, for I got clean out Of sorts and
went away to lawyer Piatt's Office to ax his
opinion wheder the laws should be cultivated
or no."
PoRrRArr PAINTING AND PaRExoLoGy.-We
observe that the first number Of the United Suites
Magazine and Democratic Rericr-the political
and literary monthly lately established at WASH
contains full length portrait of COL benton,
in the act ofinfictug speech on the Senate. The
most graceful rhetorical attitude in which VIC ev-
or saw the Colonel, was in his attempt to repre-
sent himself with the mid of book cover and
lead pencil in the act Of ciphcrng out the amount
Of the surplus revenue, which would accure to
every inoiv idual in the country in the event of n
per capita div ision. If the sketch in the Review
equals that which We give below, it will be well
worth the price Of a years subscription. We
