in Kansas -MonigomeEy's Hen
Abroad.
A new order ofruflianism has been
inaugurated in Kansas. Captain
Montgomery, who holds a eommis'
sion. under General Lane, is bidding
for the lauiels of Atilla and Robin
Uoed. Tie charge Of ruiiianism has
freouantly been made against the
NIissourians living on the borders ol
Kansas; but this charge will hereaf-
ter be regarded, by every lover oI
rood order, as trivial and beneath
Tie dignity Of criticism. Monigom-
merry is acting under the orders oI
the leading northern agitators Of
Kansas. lie has, according TO all
accounts which have reached Us, a
powerful aud unscrupulous band OF
robbers and common pIuuderers in ms
employ. Their business is to phi
lage every plantation whose owner Is
suspected Of entertaining Southern
feelings, aad to rob, without regard
to the age or sex, the peacea0le emit
grants who choose to make tGeIr 1,,
homes in the distant West. we
hope little cfthat sympathy, which c
has been almost exhausted in favor
Of Greely and bis Aid Societies
will now be lavished upon the State
of Missouri, and, indeed, the Whole
South; for surely, such crimes and {,
such evidences ofrascality IN general
have never before been heard OF ID
Kansas, as have come to light N the
ease of this Freesoil Captain Mont
gomery.

THE OBLIGATION OF SECRECY IN
PHYSICIANS. The recent decision Of
Judge Welles of Rochester, in the
case of Ira Stout, derives consider
able importance from the fact that
it Was a judicial Interpretation of the
law Of 1858, establishing the law of
secrecy between physician aud pa
tient. The common law allows no
such relation but was construed TO
compel the physician to reveal any
disclosures made to him by criminals
under his care. Before the passage
of the law Of 1S2S.hlstances occurred
where physicians, acting under the PRO-
fessional code Of ethics, suffered the
penalties of contempt of court rath-
er than betray he confidence of
patients. After Louis Napoleons
Successful coup d etat, some forty
of Paris were arrested for
refusing to disclose the hiding places
of wounded persons whom they
we're attending. All of them persis-
ted in their refusal, and it is note
worthy that the courts sustained
them, although strong government
influence was brought to influence
their decisions.

The Federal Metropolis.

" Another murder committed in Washington
Is the statement, now almost stereotypGd, of our
telegraphic dispatches. Such announcements
are sufficient ex elanation of the extraordinary
debate in the U. S. Senate last Monday. Sena-
tor Seward, always exceedingly cautious in his
statements, described the condition of affairs in
Washington as reign of terror. Mr.. Douglas
declared that no mans life was safe even on
Pennsylvania avenue. Mr.. Iverson thought
the only remedy was in making the city mill
tary station for 300 or 400 soldiers. In short,
:here seemed to be entire unanimity of opinion
upon the point that Washington is the most de-
HIoralzed and the worst governed city in the
United States. With population ofabout Co.
900, the murders for some time past were sta
ted by member of Congress to have been at
the rate OF one and half per day.
Such state of things is disgraceful to the
whole country, because the condition of the
federal metropolis will be more or less taken as
representative of the whole country. We are
glad to see that Congress has taken the subject
in hand, and has SO increased the police force
as to arrest criminals, if not to suppress crime
But the inquiry Is pertinent, how came Wash
ington, favored beyond all other cities in the
Union, to its present bad eminence =" The
cause, to certain degree, is probably to be
found in the anomalous position of the city as a
capital, subject TO The control of body ofI
strangers The sluices of public patronage
disseminate a corrupting influence and attract
an element Of population already corrupt. In
consequence of this feature, magistrates that
would be lynched on the Western prairies, se-
cure of protection under the wing of party,
have had their own way without regard to law,
justice or mercy. A member of the House OF
Representatives committed murder, and the |
Judge remembered that he was of the same par
ty and that the victim was only an Irshman-
a Senator was murderously assaulted in his
seat, and the laws were silent. No wonder |
that such examples told powerfully and down |
10 the lowest moral strata of society. II will |
always be SO when merely partisan interests
are long made paramount to all other considera-
tlOns. And we are glad to see that the Senate
manifested becoming prudence on this point
by striking out from the new police bill the
clause which gave the President power to call
out two hundred extra men on any emergency.
1t was said that such force might be used to
oyerawe elections. or for other improper pur-
poses. We trust, now that Congress has be-
gun the work of reform, it will prosecute it in
the same spirit, until Washington shall be, as
its great founder hoped it wOeld be, the worthy
capital OF this great republic.
