Surgical Journal of the 18th, says;
"Tbe course taken by DR.. Uhl, in the remark

born child with the view of obtaining posses.
SION Of the n, operty of DIR. Burdeli, has been
tbn spbiect Of corn1..cnt by several medical
journals The american Medical honthtyi IN

duct ON the ground that in pretending 10 con!l-

lis commission, lie was rendering q service 10
lie community BY bringing the Ierpetrator 10
Justice The honthly compares Dr, Ghl pro-
ceedings to those OF a servant WHO ahorGs as
sistance to burglar by giving him the key oil Il
lock which he is unable to pick, having IN the
meantime given information to the police, vino
are thereby enabled to arrest the offender tue
moment he enters the house. So far as we
have noticed the Monthly is the only medical
journal which nnquaiificdly approves ofDr.. Uni $
conduct.
We do not think that the circumstances re-
ouired DIR. Uhl TO play the part of special de-
tective officer in this drama. BY giving inlor-
nation of Mrs. Cunningham's intention TO the
prosecuting officer, proper steps could have been
taken to detect the crime If committed, or, what
would have been better in this case to have
prevented its being attempted. The testimony
Of a respectable medical man that his aid had
been sought in the preparation Of such an inia'
nous crime, would have been a, fatal bar to the
success of Mrs. Cunningham plot, ii attempted
but # seems hardly possible that she should
have attempted it, knowing that her intentions
had been revealed to the police. II seems TO us
therefore, that while DIR. Uhl was bound to make
known Immediately to the proper authorities
the criminal intentions of Mrs. Cunningham,
there was no occasion for him to take an active
part in the proceedings which led to her detec,
tinn, especially since the character of those pro-
ccedings was such MS TO give rise to preiudices
against him personally, and against the profes-
these remarks we wish to state that we believe
DIR. Uhl to have been actuatcd by no other than
the purcst motives, and though we think he
erred in judgement, we have no doubt that he
was satisfied that under the circumstances his
connivancc and assistance in the
crime was demanded by the necessities of the
case"

IMroRrAHr TO PosTMAsTERs AND CoREEsPoE-
nGNrs-ldiling Letters .tSr France, de-, By the
French NaiL.-It is reported that large num-
bers of letters addressed to France and coun-
tries beyond, and intended for transmission in
the French mail, are received at New York from
the interior offices mSuficieutly paid by stamps,
and are in consequence forwarded by that to
their destinations, charged with. postage as
,cholly unpaid.
The attention of postmasters generally, and
particularly those at the large cities of the in
terror and West, where most of such letters
mailed. is specially called to the importance of
collecting the proper amount of postage on let
tiers to be forwarded from this country by the
French mail, as by the provisions of the Postal
Treaty with France all letters insutticiently pre-
paid are treated as a0hOfly unpaid, no account
being taken of partial payments of postage.
Postmasters should be particular to rate let
tiers for the French mail by the quarter ounce
scale, charging a single rate for each quarter
ounce or fractional part of quarter ounce. As
this scale is applicable only to letters despatch
ed in the French mail, great caution is necessary
to prevent mistakes and collect the proper post

The FRIENDS or HUNTER LAsHED INTO SnENcE.
1t is Notifying to reflect that the Enquirer
has succeeded in lashing the friends of Hunter
into the profoundest silence imaginable. Not
one of them but seems afraid to open his mouth
on the subject of the Senatorial election. Not
one Of them will dare reply tie the EnQuire,'s
sharp and covert attacks on their favorite.-
Poor Hunter His organs are all dumb, and the
Wise mems mouths are all stretched from car TO
car at the sorry plight in which they have put
him Poor Hunter What do yOn really
think of such friends as yours? OF what pos
sihle service they be to you, if they sit
and shut their eyes, and let the Enquirer and
other Wise organs have their own way? We
have heretofore frankly and solemny warned
you of the danger that besetS your Senatorial
and Presidential inspirations from the Wise
conspiracy which has been formed against you.
We repeat that warning once more. We say
unto you and your friends-'Awake, arise, or
be forever fallen."-Rich. Wig.

BLoODY TRAGEDIES IN TExAs.-We find the
following in the Dallas HeguLl of the 2gth ult :
It becomes onr duty to record one of the
most desperate and hcartrending tragedies that
has ever been enacted in this region of country.
John Robinson, living some four or five miles
from Birdyille, Tarrant county, on Friday
morning of last week, without previous provo
cation as we are informed, almost without an
intimation of his fendish intentions, shot and
killed dead two brothers, George and James
Anderson, brothers of his wife, then attempted
the life of his wife, and falling in that, proceed
cd deliberately to his neighbours, old man Sub
lett, a distance Of nearly two miles, and while
the old man was begging for mercy, shot him
dead. Returning to within short distance Of
his home Robinson finished this horrid and I'M
natural tragedy by placing the mnz2le of his
gcn against his own forehead, and pushing the
trigger with his ramrod, put an end to his own
life instantly The whole affair occurred in less
than an hour.
Robinson previously had n difficulty with his
wife, aud had agreed to separation. Her bro
Tiers were assisting TO remove her things, when
he shot them both with rifle and musket.-
Some time ago Robinson committed brutal
assault upon old man Sublett, and was punished
with several months imprisonment, which was
probably the cause of his luminosity against
that individual.

REPgAt OF THE UsuRY LAWS We notice
with pleasure several able articles in our ex-
changes, from all parts Of the State, one and all
of which tend to show, not only the i'npolicy,
but the absolute suicide Of our best interests,
by means Of the usury laws. 1t is needless to
tell intelligent readers that thelaw against usury,
and nnnulling and prescribing all contracts for
more than six per cent interest, has long been
felt as a very sore cril and the wonder has been
that midst all the sagacious monicd men and
monetary inonScrs, who have filled the halls
and the Iobbies Of our Legislature, that no one
has succeeded with bill for the entire abolition
OF all nsury laws. The persons who revised our
code in 1si0, MS n sort Of compromise, suggest
ed that 8 per cent should be allowed, that is, as
high as eight per cent, on actual loans, and that
six per cent should still remain as the ordinary
rate Of interest THIS provision, milk and wa
ter as it was, was rejected by the legislature
1t is estimated that at this time there is not less
than thirty millions of cash capital driven out
or the State by this impoitic resolution.
II is apparent to any one upon moments
reflection, that law prescribing that money
shall be worth rental value of so much per an
mum, can operate only injuriOusly where the
rental value assessed is not uniform. II money
is worth seven per cent in Pennsylvania; eight
per cent. in Ohio, where is it likely that the
money of IhiSpart OF the country will seek
Investment We know of one corporation alone
in Brooke county, holding capital of many
thousands of dollars in their hands, which they
have invested in Ohio, merely because they
could get eight per cent, instead of the six to
which they were limited at home. We have
heard, during the last few days, of several sim
liar private investments. These are the facts
which are of the class that go to upset all fine
spun theories about a system of checks and
balances. We must wake up yet, from great
many theoretical delusions and this thing of
limiting the value Of money to six per cent is
by no means the least.
Another thing, incidentally operated upon by
this restriction, is an injury to the sale of our
State stocks. II is well known to most newspa-
per readers, that Virginia State stocks are get
tingto be rather drug upon the market, not
withstanding the creditable promptness with
which the interest is met, and the confidence
which people abroad have in the conservative
uniformity Of the State politics. Our stock is
now selling at IS cents, while few years ago it
was Mt par Does a man want to invest here in
his own State, he looks at Virginia bonds, and
he sees, first, that they bear but six per cent,
aud second, that he must pay to the State
tax upon what he has loaned them. It
gives an advantage to the stock dealer in the
East, as he has no tax to pay, and, of course,
discouragcs home capital from investment
s1The more we look at the subject the more
We surprised that the people long since, have
not demanded repeal of what are known rs
usury laws

TnEsESAEoRlAI. STnrE.-It is becoming ques-
ton, now that thedisputc between the friends of
Hunter and of Wise is each day becoming more
and more serious and determined, as to when it
will end Will i: create division in the party
lon the one side Union men, on the other set
of South Carolina Ultraists? That is the ques-
ton, which seems now appropriately before the
public 1t is evident that a feud, however
ephemeral, is springing up between the two di-
visions The people of the West, and a great
many Of the East, suspect Mr.. II. NJ. T. Hunter,
with being fire cater, and We think that the
suspicion is very well founded. Whatever poll
cy may eventually determine him to do, Or rath-
or say. in vciw of his dangerous predicament
before the next Legislature, We .beievc that,
heart and soul, Mr. Hunter is with the Ultraists.
On the other hand Governor Wise isplcdgcd to
the Union, to the course of the administration as
regards Walker in Kansas, and between two
such men, however, unacceptable either Of
them may be, no patriotic man can hesitate to
choose.
