ExTEA oGDiSARY SURGICAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
weeks ago, in an editorial letter from Philadel-
phia 10 the LateEIigencer, there appeared state
ment concerning a horrible nonstrosity that
was then on exhibition at the Jefferson Medical
College, in the shape of a child having another

The parents, warned Of the danger, were yet
extremely anxious to have the frighttui parasite
taken off: DR.. Pamcost under whose charge
the patient had been placed, decided that the
use Of the knife would result in fatal hemorr-
baee. and determined to divide the caul-like
membrane by using French surgical instru'
rnent, the ecTaseur, which, by forcing down the
skin. and bruising the vessels thoroughly before
the chain of the instrument cuts through the
mass, eifectually prevents ali serious biee1iinS.
The operation was performed in presence of an
immense asscublage of medical men, students
and others.
The child was placed under the influence of
ether when all pulsntion in the parasite was
observed to cease. Tie instrument being APP
piled, the chain was rapidly worked until the
parts were well compressed, and nfterward very
slowly In fifteen minutes the tumor came
away with the instrument, the chain having
worked through the connecting membrane,
while scarcely a single drop of blood followed

LOCAL MATTERS.

e Ro66ing a Drunken Nan.-A villianous
piece of business was perpetrated at Henry Fos-
ter's drinking place, opposite the Custom House,
day before yesterday afternoon. An old man
named Bray, had check for $25, and was
showing it around to Foster and others. Foster
told Bray that as the bank was not open, he
would cash the check. Bray agreed to this, re-
ceived his money. and being pretty drunk, sat
down in chair and went to sleep. When he
woke up, two or three hours afterwards, he
found that his pockets had been rifled of every
thing they contained, including the $25 in
money. Bray made every effort to recover his
money, but finding himself unsuccessful, he
yesterday had Foster and the notorious Jim
Finn arrested and taken before AID Wright.
witness testified to having seen Finn take
the money out of the old mans pocket, and af-
forwards hand it to Foster Both of the parties
were committed to Jail for trial, when Foster
acknowledged to having the money. 1t was a
deliberate plan to rob Bray. 1t appeared that
Foster had deceived the old man as to the tune
the bank would be open, in order that he might,
by cashing the check, have chance of stealing
the amount back again.

so repeatedly and say 20 Lord!' so lond-so hys-

~ Charge Of Adultery-on Tuesday last
Anthony MollitOn was up before the Mayor Of
Allegheny City, charged, on oath of Edward
Miller, with the offence of ndultry with said
Miller's wife.
The wife was brought before the Mayor and
acknowledged that she had had criminal con-
nection with the accused since last Christmas a
year, and that on one occasion she had gone to
house of nssignation with him. Since the
time specified, Molliton has been n frequent Wis
itor at the house, and has been received always
with great cordially BY the husband. 1t is
broadly intimated that the husband knew the
fact of this criminal connection long time ago,
but supposing that Molliton had money, allowed
him to go on, with the intention of coming down
on him for his money The evidence doubtless
on the trial will provo this, although it does not
excuse the guilt of Molliton. MolIiton in default
of bail was committed for trial.

SAY what may, and regret it as we may,
yet it is nevertheless true, that the political
liberty and the politica, rights, which the Com
stitution Of the United States vouchsnfeS to
each and every citizen, are confined to
part of the States of the Union. It is not
enough, neither is it any answer to the asser-
ton that we have made, that man is allowed
to pray in the manner or style he wants to- or
to be otherwise orthodox or hetrodox in matters
of religion, anywhere and everywhere, in any
part of the country. This, Of course, is one oi
our great privileges, and many subject of des-
potIsl.i would be thankful all his days FOR so
great boon. American citizens besides this,
claim SOME political privileges. In short, they
claim as their birthrisht, full measure of
personal, political and religious liberty. Do
they get it in all the States of this Union p
Let this clip from Savannah, Ca, paper an
swer:
sI.lst week it became known that man by
the name Of Hazard, from Providence, had
written an account of the recent sale of tho
Wanderer to Rhode Island paper, in which
false statements were made, rejecting upon NJ
e. y. l.. Lunar and others. SIR. Lamar took
the fcariic>t opportunity, after learning his
whereabouts, to call on Mr.. Hazard Demand.
Tag Of him whether he wrote the letter attrib-
uted tn him, and receiving an affirmative answer
he promptly slapped him in the face with the
back OF his hand. Mr.. Lamar then stated to
Mr.. IL. that as he had slandcred him in the pub.
lie prints, he had resented the insul: bya blow,
and was ready TO give him any satisfaction he
might demand, but that he must leave the city
by the next train, which he accordingly did.
The ground of complaint in the above, is not
that Mr. Lamar took the law into his own hands
so far as to resent libeileous paragraph, by
slap on the face Of the libeer That is mat.
ter for him and the Savannah municipal laws to
settle. But what appears to us as the high
banded, and indeed, the fearfni part of the
matter, is the fact that. in any single State
of this Union, any me man should, for private
injury, have the power to Danish another from
the State; should have the power to usurp
successfully, the sovereign power-yea, more
than that which is:ves,eI in the highest officer
in the statc-and fora real or supposed private
injury, banish fellow-citizen INTO exile.
Tie conclusion is obvious to our mind, that a
society, or a public opinion, that tolerates such
,iesFtetisn, is altogether unworthy ola posi-

,nnnities called cI,ristianized and enlightened.

not a grumbler or growler about some matters,
but if the same thing occurs again to this
editor as occurred last Tuesday night on his

dark, and as We were quietly picking our
