"This miserable slavery question" r"
said Senator Crittenden in his speech at
Louisville, tho other day, "should be
banished from the councils of the nation.
The Southern Senators themselves, only
the other day, agreed that there is no case
now calling for the exercise of Federal
power in behalf of slavery. The case
very probably will never occur There
is not now siuglc piece of Territory to
which slavery would go il invited. We
have nothing to quarrel about. Why
60 into distant futurity to borrow
trouble? Why squabblo over what we
should do in certain contingencies that
may not occur, even to our childrens
childrcn?"

NEW Books "A MEDICo-LEGAL TREATISE ON
MALPRAcTIcR AND MEDICAL EVIDENCE, Con-
PRIsING THE ELEMENTS OF MEDICAL JURIs
PRUDENCE. By John J. ElWel, N. d. Price
S5.
We remember when some years since, the Hon. ),
J. Elwell, the author Of this volume, was member
ofthe Ohio Legislature, and fought hard for the Med
cal Profession in all matters pertaining to its inter-
ests, especially in connection with the Penitentiary
and Lunstic Asylum; and from such examination as
we have been able to give the work under notice,
we judge that he still entertains the ssne respect
and attachment for the Medical Profession, althO'
now a member of the Bar. While he gives no
quarters to quaekery and carelessness on the pant
of the physician, he has fully shown in this wOlk
the difficulties which the physician and surgeon has
to encounter in the practice of his professOn,-a
knowledge Of which inspires a still higher appres
citation of the value of his work,
Being ourselves neither physician or lawyer,
aud never having given particular attention TO
medico-legsl eubjects we do not feel fully quail
fed 10 judge of the merits of the work, but we
can readily understand that writer on Medical
Jurisprudence who is only physician must neces-
sariy fail in the legal department, while lawyer
must be deficient in the arrangement of the medi-
cal elements entering Into the subject. In consid-
Grafton Of th is fact We recognize the peculiar
fitness Of the author to do full justice to both de-
paitments, qualified as he is by eminent Attain-
ments In both professions. While engaged in the
practice Of medicine he achieved position in the
first rank Of the profession, and since he became
member Of the Bar, his industry and ability are
acknowledged there. The work is, therefore, emi'
nently medico-legal work. the learning Of the
two professions being thus intelligently brought
together by one who has studied and practised
both. There being no such work on the import
ant questions involved in malpractice, it must at
once take a standard position in the libraries Of
the physician and lawyer. The need Of such q
work is universally felt and we predict for the
book large sale. The mechanical execution OI
the volume is excellent
