"A DIFyIcuLr SURGICAL OpERArIon..-- y
From the Detroit Tribune we learn that
most sipguIar Incident has jusk traos-
pired at Vienna, Genesee county, the par
ticulars of which are as follows:
A young man named John Briggs, who
had a young and beautiful wife, lefs that
place in February last TO avoid the draft.
On his return home, not long since, be
found rumors prevalent, sustained BY ap.
pearauces, against the fidelity Of his wife.
Upon charging her with The offence she
tearfully but persistently protested her
innocence, yet there were growing indica-
tions going to refute her proles, ations.
Briggs at last separated from her, not
withstanding that her intimate friends did
their almost TO deter him. Mrs. Briggs
at last consulted the most skillful physi-
clans she could 6nd, and after examipa-
tion il was agreed that tumor had
formed in her abdomen, and Ter life de-
pended on its successful removal. The
difficult operation was performed about
three weeks since by DR.. AFFORD, former
ly Of this city, now of Flint, assisted by
Drs. Kamond and Curtis, Of Flint, Far
rand, Of East Saginaw; Lathrop and
Salisbury, Of Vienna, and Beagle, Of
Otisville. The patient was put under
the influence Of chloroform,, an incision
made, extending from the pit Of The stom-
ach the entire length, Of the sbdomen,
and tumor nearly three feet in circum-
ference, and weighing l93 pounds, was
removed, and can now be seen in the Of
fee Of Dr.. AFFORD, iu Flint. The pa
tient has so far recovered as to be able 10

fprtitude and heroism through the whole
affair never surpassed. The operation is
considered one the most dangerous on rec
ord, and is q signal triumph Of the sci
ence Of surgery, adding much TO the pre-
vious renown Of Dr. aAxford, = ~

cushioned backs Of the seats, attached by
slide hinges, may be raised and securely
clasped, so as TO form an upper tier for

We are gratifed to see that our honest
and outspoken contemporary of the Carson
Appeal this morning seconds u position
on the manner, or the mysterious causes,
which resulted in the verdict of the jury
in the prosecution of the Road Agents,
Harris and Waterman. There was some
thing rotten in that verdict, " bet yer life"
But we do not attribute anything "out
of the course of events" to the Court, al
though it reduced the bail of Harris to
$4,000, which he gave by deposittng the
coin. although, before the robbery of
Wells, Fargo s Co.'s treasure-box, he
could not have hired the sum Of five hun
dred dollars upon all his earthly effects.
Harris has all along been a resident of
Carson City, where, abovea all other places,
he was best known. Here is what the
appeal says of the verdict of the jury in
Storey county:
The News is right when it says ait is
about time that there was some straight ou.
talk in such matters as these" II the testi-
mony in the late trial at Virginia convicted
anybody, it convicted Harris. We venture
TO say that there is not one honest thinking
man in Carson who does not believe him
guilty, after reading the evidence. We should
like to know what there is as productive Of
such verdicts." Is it that this people are
afraid Of these desperate characters? Is
whey-faced fear at the bottom Of this tender
heartedness? We have never said one word
against this man nor any Of his accompliccs
since his arrest. We rather chose to let the
law have its course, uninfluenced by anything
we might say. But we understand that he
has been admitted to bail in the paltry sum
Of six thousand dollars. This amazes US
more than the verdict did. What does Judge
Rising mean BY such an act Of unwarrented
elemency: Does he not know that it needs
but a feather to break the back Of the peoples
patience with Courts aud criminalsf II he
does not know it, we will tell him that such
is the fact. We understand that Harris Is a
vindictive man, and prone to wreaking his
vengeance upon those who cross him. His
home is in Carson, and we may reasonably
expect him here to await his next trial. We
warn. him against acts Of violence. The peo-
pie of Carson are in no humor to be triAed
with.

WHERE THEY CAN VorE.-At present
negroes are allowed to vote in only six
States, viz Maine, New Hampshire, and
Vermont, subject to the same conditions
as white men; in Massachusetts, they must
be able to read and write; in Rhode
Island. must be worth one hundred and
thirty dollars in real estate; in New York,
must be worth two hundred and fifty
dollars over all membranes. In radical
Kansas, and under the new radical Con-
stitution Of Missouri, they are not allowed
to vote. Until lately, Maine and New
Hampshire were always under control Of
the Democratic party, and that party gave
the negroes the right to vote in those
States. 1t was also the Democratic party
which conferred the right Of suffrage upon
negroes in New York. That party, which
has done more than any other to establish
negro suffrage, now seems to be endeavor-
ing to do more than any other to prevent
it. though the New York Ners, a leading
Democratic organ, comes out in favor OF
the doctrine.

that there are circumstances in the present

the country, inclOsing small sums OF
money to be given as a reward to the per-
son in the service who should be the hrst
to plant the Stars and Stripes over the city

was $500. AS Richmond, however, was
not taken by assault. General Grant con-
cluded that the donors wishes would be
bes. carried out BY dividing the sum be-
tween the three soldiers most conspicu-
Gus for gallantry in the final and success
full assault on Petersburg. In accordance
with this decision the money was dis
tributed in equal sums to Sergeant David
W. Young. Sergeant Thomas McGraw'
