A DRuNKARDs BRAINS. The startling
doctrines taught in Youman's I" Scientific
Basis Of Prohibition" are fully coorrobora-
ted by the following passage from u late
number OF the Boston Medical Journal
What u trade Of guilt and horror is that,
whose Legitimate effects upon tho heart and
brain Of its patrons are so unnatural and
monstrous
"Hyrti, by far the greatest anatomist oil
the age, used to say that he could disting-
uish, in the darkest room, by one stroke Of
the scalpcl, the brain Of the inebriato from
that Of the person who had lived soberly.-
Now and then no would congratulate his
class upon tho possession Of drunkard's
brain, admirably fitted from its hardness
and more complete preservation for the pur.
poses Of demonstration. When the anato-
mist wishes to preserve human brain for
any length Of time, he effects his object by
keeping that organ in vessel of alcohol.--
From soft pulpy substance it then becomes
comparatively hard. But the inebriate an
ticipating the anatomist, begins the indura-
ting process before death II begins it while
tho brain remains the consecrated temple of
the soul, while It's delicate and gossalner tls-
sues still throb with tho pulses OF heaven
born life. Strange infatuation, thus to dcs-
ecrato the god-liSo! Terrible enchantmcnt,
that dries up all the fountains of generous
feeling, petrifes all the tender humanities,
and sweet charities Of life leaving only q
brain Of lead aud heart Of ne."-Pro-

A Roland for an Oliver.

The Washington Union has started very
interesting legal point, whether Col. Bliss
ell is eligible as Governor of Illinois, be
cause there is a clause in the Constitution Of
his State requiring him, on entering upon
the duties Of his office, to take, in addition
to the oath to support the Constitution Of
the United States, and the oath to support
the Constitution Of Illinois, an oath that
since tie year 1913 he has not been engaged,
directly or indirectly, in a duel, the proba-
bio result Of which might have been death !;
that be has not acted as principal or second
in duel; that he has not sent challenge,
and that he has not accepted one. q. e.
The Union will have !: that Colonel Bliss
ellis affair with Col. Davis makes him liable

KIDNAPPING CASES. We copied few
days ago an Appeal in behalf of n frc'
colored man, late q resident of Rochester
and now held in slavery, near Macon, Geor
gia. The kidnappers demand seven hun,
dred dollars AZ ransom. We learn tha
cases OF this kind arc not rare. There ar,
four applications now on the file in the FIX
ccutivc Department Of this State, praying
for the Governors interference in rcscuinI
free citizens from Southern bondage. The
evidence is conclusive that the unhappy mer
were once freemen, and residents of the EN-
pire State.
In one case, the Governor of Virginia wa,
appealed to by Gov. Clark, but he answered
through his Secretary of State, admitting
the facts, In this case, it Is believed thu
Executive has no power to Interfere" In
another case, North Carolina gentleman
writes, " II the boy left your State for any
improper conduct, (Which was not tho fact
it may DO as well to let him have good
master, and try few years of wholesome
plantation labor" Gov. Clark has exhaust.
cd his power in efforts to redeem these poor
colored men from bondage. Whether any
further legislation is necessary to meet such
cases, we are unable to say.
1t is said, by the way, that Governor Dc
Witt Clinton, after unsucccssfully appealing
to tho Governor of Virginia, many years
ago, to restore kidnapped man. threatened
to send an army Of New York soldiers into
tho Old Dominion. to bring him away by
force, and that thereupon the slave was
delivered up and restored to his homo and
freedom. In this case, we are also told, the
negro had been playmate of Gov. Clinton'S
when they were boys tosether.-A1any

REPRESENTATIVE AND ELECTORS IN 1860.
The Philadelphia Bulletin estimates that
the representative population in 1860,
throughout the Union, will DO about 81
0OO, 900, divided rs follows FREQ States,
q, OO0, 900; Slave States, IL Geo. 900. The
number Of representatives being 234, the
ratio Of apportionment will DO about 1872
600, and the House will consist Of Isl rep.
rcscntatIvcs from Free States, and 80 from
Slave States. BY the present apportion.
ment, there arc IA from Free States, and
30 from Slave States. The Bulletin distrib.
utes the members as follows Southern
States, So; New England States, %; Mid.
die States, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania So: Western States, lin.
GLIDING California and Minnesota,) 20. In
case Of the admission into the Union Of Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, or new
State from part OF Texas, these figures will
be somewhat modified, Us each new State
will have ut least one new member, and the
older States will lose in corresponding de-
grcc. 1.-THE calculations Of the Bulletin
are correct, the Presidential Electors for
ls6O will number 296. Of whom lbs will b
from Free States, and lI3 from Slave States.

tho affair with Col. Davis occurred in the
city Of Washington, where there is an act
Of Congress in force making it q penitentia-

did not occur to the editor Of the Union,
who shares so largely in the speculation,
whether Col. Bssell will " d.fanily render
himself hable to an indictment for perjury"
that Col. Davis must first have de6antly
rendered himself indictable for q penitentia-

Col. Bissell could have had opportunity to

not very obvious what the Constitution Of

TnE BosroS ATLAS. We observe by a
prospectus in its columns, that this valuable
political journal entered upon a new volume
the first OF this month. Tho Atlas, as our
readers generally know, was formerly whig
paper, aud ever exertcd an important in.
agenec in the party, as also in the State
The past year, believing that tho wing par
ty, as such, had had its day, and that the
question of freedom was the great and all
absorbing issue in the national contest, the
Atlas, true to its ancient iaith-thc faith OF
the wing party in its palmiest days-at once
unIurlcd the banner OF freedom, and bat
tied zealously in the cause of human rights.
This Is its present position. aud occupying
this, We commend it to tho notice of our
readers who are disposed to take political
journal published out ofthe State. The week
ly is ofthc largest class papers. printed in
good style, contains large amount of COM
Eiercial, financial, and general news matter,
and is furnished At cheap rate. The new
year Is a good time to subscribe. Though
il is desirable 10 sustain local PAL crs, We, i!
our readers wish to take those from abroad,
the Atlas will be found worthy OF their pat
runage.
