The Trade in Buryfng Grounds.


The bill to authorize the sale of the Cath
erine-street Cemetery in this city, passed the
Senate on Tuesday, yeas twenty two, nays
eight. 1t is a striking instance of the way
that sanctity is warped to fit interest, that
it should be argued in favor of these ceme-
terry dissertations that respect for the dead
required the removal of their remains from
the heart of the city. Everybody knows
here that the removal is chiefly allegorical
but how could respect for the dead be bet
ter exhibited than to have permitted these
original cemeteries to remain in the care of
the city authorities, inclosed and planted with
trees, as breathing-places in the heart of the
city; ever if in time all traces of graves
should disappear, and they should become
parks, sacred both to the dead and the liv-
ing. Who that is living, if he could choose
for himself would not prefer to have his re-
mains undisturbed in grounds given up to
the reereations of the people, to having them
shoveled up as a nuisance and dumped some
where else as offensive offal. People who
argue that regard for the unknown lead re-
quires this treatment, do not understand
their own feelings. They merely suppose
that their repugnance toward the dead, and
desire to get every sign of them out of their
sight, is respect for the dead.
Had these cemeteries remained, as their
original donors intended, the city authori-
ties would have assumed the care of them,
and our city would have been dotted with
snots haautiful oosaa IN 4ba vast dos-
ert of brick and mortar, sacred to the dead
and refreshing to the living.t But the diff
Guilty was, these grounds became valuable ;
and religious societies, whose carnal desires
for fine churches exceeded their willingness
to pay from their own pockets, found the
temptation to realize out of their sacred
trusts, too strong to be resisted. As the
Babylonians spoiled the temple, so they
spoiled their sacred trusts.
A pretext of sanetity was never wanting
for any thing that promised profit. So, sem
timents of disgust were first excited by the
neglect and ~permissiYe waste of these
grounds, until it was pretended that respect
for the dead required their removal from
dissertation and the removal of those who
had living friends, was followed by a more
complete abandonment of the remainder,
until an apparent necessity was created for
completing the work. The city has aided
in the business of turning these trusts into
money by paying a large price for one Of
them, an act which showed an unaccounta-
Bile anxiety to pay a large bonus for what
there was no right to sell, in order 10 be-
CONF party to a transaction Of more than
dubiOus integrity,

Whatever difference of opinion there may
be in regard to the outset of the new AID.
mipis,ration, thereis perfect uusuimity upon
the outgoing President, that his Admins
srstion has destroyed the Government, de-
Iivered il into the hands of traitors, dismem-
bered the Union, and made treason a famil-
iar word in every department of the public
service, from the lowest ofice-holder up to
the very White House. Certainly, that is
sufficient for the Democratic Party to retire
on, But it can add to these %laurels, that it
has also broken down itself, and if it were
now left solely to the Democratic Party to
choose an Administration of the Govern
ment of tbe Union, it could not do it. 1t is
no wonder that John Cochraue and others
are trying to organize a new party, to get
rid of the name Democratic.

A new REMEDY FOR II DPrHERIA.-
A correspondent in Maine gives the following
remedy for this distressing disease, which
caused several deaths, until this remedy was
applied, and since that all have recovered.
II is as follows;
Make two small bags that win reach from
ear I pear, and fill them with ashes aud sllti
dip them in hot water, and wiring them out
so they will not drip, and apply them to the
throat; cover up the whole with a flannel
cloth, and change them as often as they be-
come cool, uRtil the throat becomes irc.tated,
near blisteIing. For children it ~ necessary TO
nut flannel cloths between the ashes and the
throat to prevent blistsriDg. When the ashes
have been on a sufficient time, take a wet
flannel cloth, and rub it with CASTLE soap
until is covered with a thick latheri dip Il
in hot water and apply it to the throat and
change as they cool; at the same time use q
gargle made Of one ~teaspoonful Of Cayenne
pepper, one Of salt, one Of molasses, In atea-
cup full Of hot water, and, when COOL ada
one fourth as much ~cider-vinegarl and
gargle every fifteen minutes until the
patient requires sleep. A gargle made o.

The strictly local and business view which

The Negro Business in the Ohio LesIsIa-

iure,
Mr., Nigh, who seems to class himself as a
Conservative Republieau-that is, one who
goes for breaking down the Constitution and
things-raised a question of privilege in the
House on Tuesday, in regard to the showing
that vas made in this paper that the Con-
servatives were chiefly responsible for agi-
tation Of negro measures in the Ohio Legis-
lature. Mr.. Nigh neither understood him
self nor the question very well. He en-
deavored to evade the responsibility by
showing that, in a particular discussion, but
one Conservative took part.
This is not to the point at all. We showed
by specifications which no one will deny,
that the negro measures which have occu-
pied the time of the Legislature were forced
upon the Republicans by the Conservatives
and Democrats; that those most objectiona.
BILE and most dcsti uctive ofal constitutional
rights originated with the Conservatives;
and that but for their detection from the Re-
publicans and their alliance with the Demo-
Gratis, not one of the Democratic negro
measures could have acquired force enough
TO agitate.
These are facts which neither Mr.. Nigh
nor anybody else will pretend to dispute
and they place the responsibility for the
failure Of the Legislature where it belongs.
