NEW AHEsrHETIc.--At q meeting of the
Philadelphia County Homeopathic society, ip
Philadelphia Monday evening, new liquid
for local anesthesia was shown by Dr.. James.
II has recently been discovered and 10 called
rhigolene. 1t is the lightest liquid known,
having specific gravity Of O,625, while
ether, which has heretofore been used for
that purpose, has a specific gravity Of 0,T6Q
only. 1t was applied by novel apparatus,
which is manufactured by Mr.. Gemrjg, the
surgical instrument maker Of Philadelphia,
by which the liquid Is thrown on 70 the part
Of the body to be operated upon In the form
Of spray, and by its rapid evaporation boz
puwbs the skin in five seconds, 90 that II
can be punctured or cut without The least
pain experienced. He put 1t to q practical
test on his own hand, and then pricked tho
arm to which 1t was applied number Of
times with O needle without feeling any
sensation of pain. Other members Of the
society tested il in similar manner with q
like result. The rhigolene spray of vapor
will In warm room bring down the ther-
mometer to 10 degrees below zero Ia two
minutes and in the same length of time

tube. II is extremely volatile and inhamma-
BILE, both the liquid and the vapor. II boils
at 70 deg. Fahr. II seems destined TO super
cede anesthesia by inhalation of ether and
chlorcform In many surgical operations.

Tue Missouri TEST OArH.-Hon. John
Hogan, Of Missouri, has addressed note 10
the Hon. Reverdy johnson, Of Maryland.
asking him what was his knowledge regard
ing the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States on the Missouri test-oath case.
To which Mr.. johnson replies under date Of
the 3oth ult., as follows:
"The main question in the cases of Cares
che and Cummings, to which you refer, was,
whether the test-oath required by the consti-
tuition Of Missouri was constitutional. On
the part Of these gentlemen, my associate,
Mr.. David Dudley Field, of New York, and
myself maintained that 1t was not because
of the provision in the tenth section in the
first article of the Constitution of the United
States that no State shall pass any bill Of
attainder or lex post facto law To This
conclusion majority of the court came, as
was well known few days before the close
Of the term. 1t was also known, certainly
was known to me, that the failure to announce
the decision was not because any one of the
Judges constituting the majority then doubted
upon the question, but ] suppose that 1t was
mainly owing to the fact that the Judge Sc
lscted to deliver the opinion had not time
before the close of the term to prepare such
a one as the importance and gravity of the
question required. That this will be done
during the recess, and that it will be doliv-
cred at the next term, have no doubt. And
cannot foi bear to add that, when Il will be
done, the cause of constitutional liberty
ana religious freedom will be secured against

and do their whole duty, as they have here
tofore done IN two wars. But they desire
peace above all things, and they take very little
interest in politics. They have gone TO
work 10 mend their fortunes and are deter
mined TO prosper, whatever the political con-
dition Of the country. They believe that
the Northern States have possession of the
Government, and are determined at all haz.
ards " keep IL. They therefore look TO the
support of their families and are Indifferent
about general politics. So long as they can
make living, in spite of the tax collector,
they may be quiet But II the State should
be rejected, as the others have been, should
rather, have any other Office than tax gather
er. Taxation without representation is ty-
ranny, and they 50 regard IT. in my judg-
ment.
Q. Do they expect admission at once to
representation, and will they elect loyal men
to Congress?
A. II by loyal men, you mean such as
could take the test oath, or iron-clad, Is they
term it they would not generally. We
have not respectable material for that pur-
pose, II 50 disposed. One or two men, such
as Judge Hancock and Judge Evans, who
have been spoken Of for the Senate, and who
have preserved their integrity and respsct for
their people, though dissgreeing with them
In the matter Of secession, might be elected
as a compromise; but they understand an
election as giving them q choice. and they
could not choose the men they had been
fighting, and who have aided Ia their subju-
CATION. Certainly they expect admission on
reorganization, as part Of the bond, but
will not be greatly disappointed at rejection,
common to the other States. If they are re-
admitted they will deem Il but in accordance
with the plan they accepted in good faith
If not, there are many who will say, "that
is just what We said before; We are out Of
the Union; and many would be very glad Of
the result IL could be done with peace;
perhaps three -fourths of the State. But they
all desire peace above all things and they
will do nothing to provoke further trouble
This they have amply proved by submitting
to much unreasonable exaction rs they think.
The only method of staying the Obj tide Of
good feeling would be at once to withdraw
all troops from among the people of the
South, except at the coast and frontier gar
risons to disband the entire negro force, to
abolish every vestage Of the Freedmeas q
Bureau, and to admit the representatives of
the revolutionary States, upon the single con-
dition of their taking the oath reqired by the
Constitution. Time will doubles, In this case
assuage feelings that have been too intensely
enlisted to subside at once.

nationality and Independence on our part
A central Government ignoring State rights
and the destruction of slavery on the part
Of the United States.
Q. You speak of the terms of submission.
What terms do you mean2 A. Those stip-
ulated In actual surrender, Of protection in
person and property, so long as we should
obey the laws and those sumitted by the
President of the United States in his procla-
nation andlplan Of reorganization. Thus far
we have endeavored to comply with all re-
quirements, resopable and oppressive, and
held our peace lest complaints might be mis-
construed into disloyal,y, as they have been
elsewhere.
Q. Is the present feeling the same as here
tofore2
A. think not. The return of good feel
ing has been greatly oppressed, think, by
the rejection OF members from States already
reorganized. There seems 10 be q suspicion
of bad faith, and fear that they have been
decoyed into the steps they have taken, and
much apprehension, And should this be
continued after the Texas Representatives
get here, there will be, fear, q great revul-
sion Of feeling.
@. What will they do in that case?
A. 1 cannot answer. They cannot resort
to arms because they have surrendered them.
They are tired Of war and utterly brok,
en- il fortune. But they are not without
the spirit that feels indignation at broken
faith and continued oppression.
q. In case of \ war with any other power
how would your people act2
A. cannot answer directly. Should theJ
not be admitted into the Union, as expected
they certainly would not fsel called upon y
resist the enemy. II admitted they wan
! peace above all things, aud would not unit
, in an aggressive war upon MEXICO, Canada
Cuba, or any other nation In case ofinvss

Sewerage.

MEssRs. EDiToRs So Our citizens
are at last becoming conscious of the
fact that complete and judicious sys.
tenn of sewerage is the thing-and
the only thing--that will enectually
relieve our village Of its surplus filth.
Acting upon this desire of our pco.
pie to have the town placed in a dry
and healthy condition, the Town
Council have had the matter under
advisement, and will doubtless take
the proper steps, at nn early day, for
carrying out the project of scwering
the town.
The matter, however, has not been
as fully discussed, nor is it as geher.
ally understood as it should be by
our citizens. There is more opposi-
tion TO the building of sewers in our
different streets than would have been
expected, or than the matter calls
for. There is no one project for the
building up Of our town that seems
80 little understood Us this.
The most common error, and that
into which nearly all the opponents
of the measure have fallen, is this
that the property adjoining to, or ly-
ing Immediately along the line OF any
sewer, must pay the entire expense
of construction. Now, allow me to
call the attention of all concerned TO
the act Of the Ohio Legislature passed
March %, 1864, o. l.. vol. Gl, p. is.
Without quoting all, or the exact
words Of that act, 1t is therein pro
vided that all property within any
sewer district, shall be assessed and
pay q proportion of the entire costs
of constructing any sewer, according
to the benefits derived from the same
BY this provision of the law, every
parcel of property in any district shall
pay some part of the cost of sewer
ing, and the amount paid by eacl
does not depend upon the location
(whether upon the line Of the scwe
or not, but upon the benefits derive,
by each from the sewer. Now /
seems to me when this is umdcrstoo,
by all, that opposition will at onc'
cease. 1t Is the duty OF all to exam
inc the law, which is accessible Il
every one, and Judge for themselve
whether or not it is proper to thro,
obstacles in the way of this muc
needed improvement. HEALTH.

TuRIvISG BUSINESS Young Amer
lea entered into quite a speculation
on Monday last. That was the time
set for the deprivation Of the liberty
of swine, and the boys patroled the
streets.from an early hour until nearly
noon, driving to the pound such luck
less hogs, sparing neither age nor
sex, as they found baskihg in the
various mud holes which our Town
Council will allow to remain in the
different streets and alleys. Quite
large sum was thus realized, and con
siderable profanity was indulged il
by the owners of the obnoxious pro
perty.
One thing in relation to this mat
ter should be looked after. Anxious
for the shin plastcrs, some Of th'
more vicious lads prowled about hos

ASTRONOMICAL OnsERvATIoNs.--In
Marathon, N. V, they are favored
with q scientific gentleman Of some
note, who lately entertained the ed.
itor OF the LEADER, who tells the
story, as follows:
by politencss of Prof. Lewis Swift,
we were last evening permitted to
take look at the heavenly bodies
"and things" through his telescope.
For the benefit of those who don /
know what q telescope is, we will
here state that it is long ''length'
of stove pipe, smaller at one end than
at the other, or larger, we don't
recollect which. 1t is stepped up
with glass, and will draw things to.
ward you like the traces of an India
rubber harness in o thunder shower.
This is mounted on something very
much like a "wcll.swcep." We first
took aim at Saturn, and--we hit him
lie looked very much like cart
wheel, tipped over, and with the
spokes knocked out. Professor said
there were three fclloes or rims to
the wheel; but as Sat. felt rather
"edgewise," he would show but one,
Professor said eight moons danced
attendance on Mr.. Saturn; but We
guess seven Of 'em had gone TO ccle,
bratc the Fourth of July, as but ono
was visible. Next turned our atten-
tion to old Jupiter, who, in mytho.
logical genesis, calls Saturn "daddy."
Found him 90 X" except two dark
stripes across his "physiog." which
Professor said were clouds, but they
looked suspiciously like tobacco
smoke, Wonder If Jupe pays revenue
on his "vicious luxuriesl" lie was
accompanied by four young Jupiters,
which Professor said were MOONS
: We next drew "bec line" Oh the
North or Polar Star, accompanied by
a very small pole. II this is the "stal
! of destiny" for the Poles, they have
nothing to fear from the "war and
, rumors Of war" now rampant IL
: Europe, as their star is bright one
Professor next directed our attention
: to some nebul@, and we concluded
=, to "risk one eye" on them. To tn
