APoIiticaI Panic.
From the NeW York Post Of Tuesday.

laws, in order to let the FenlanS freely
into Canada.
AT first sight one would say that so
disreputable an attempt could not find
"a dozen supporters in the House. Ger
tainiy when the Tribune the other day
blamed the President for taking meas
ures to guard our neighbors, with whom
we are at peace, from being attacked by
men armed and organized within our
border, and setting out from here, we
thirteen members of Congress could be
induced to give their votes for a resolu-
ton to the same general purpose.
One hundred and thirteen members
of Congress voted against the motion
to dismiss Mr.. Ancona's resolution.
Does it then follow that CongresS-or
this part of it-would have Canada in
vaded from Buffalo and Cleveland? Is
il TO be supposed that these one hum
dred and thirteen would, as the IrI-
bune the other,day suggested, treat Eng
land with the same evasion with which
she treated us, and thus themselves
commit the fragrant wrong of which
we all for four years SO bitterly com
planned? We do not suppose anything
of the kind. We suppose only that
mem bers were thinking of "the Irish
vote" and they voted, as some of them
speak, for Buncombe.
Politicians fear that the Fenians will
revenge their defeat in the next election;
and so they act a part which is prudent,
even if it is despicable. But we advise
Republicans and Union men not to be
led away by their fears. We do not
know what dreadful thing the Fenian
monster may do to those who do not
timely propitiate il, or what important
favors il may grant its friends or adula-
tors. But, one thing is certuin-the
copperheads can afford to bid higher
for its favor than any respectable Union
men; they have more to gain and less
to lose: their antecedents, as the sup
porters of filibustering against Cuba
and Central America, as the palliatorS
of New York riots, the defenders of the
rebel leaders, and the would-be de-
stroyers of the very principle of law
and order on this continent-these an
tecedents will of themselves recon-
mend them 10 the more lawless and
desperate of the Fenian leaders. Mr..
Ancona had better chance of securing
the Fenian vote, in his district, than
his Republican opponents; for The sim
pie reason that they know Mr.. Ancona
to have but little respect or regard for
law and order, and they presume the
opposite of any member OF the other
party. -.----.. a..-..
But If any Republican politician is
really desirous OF securing very inn
portant vote, let him take ground with
Mr.. Hale in support of the President,
of law and order, aud of the good repute
of the nation. Mr.. Hale's resolution,
which could not even get reading un-
til Mr.. Ancona's had been referred to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, is
right and pointed. 1tis
'.kesofUed, That the honor and good faith
of the uiJed States i'm Peratlvely ueInand a
ity laws, and thai tins House will entertain
no proposition looking TO their repeal, re-
vision or violation"
That is what the mass of the Ameri
can people hold; they believe in honor
and good faith, and good repute, in law
and order, and they abhOr violence and
lawlessness. The people universally
approved OF President j Johnson's procla-
nation and glow of qualification
was felt by the whole country on read
ing General Grants order, recommends
ing the State authorities to ''call out
the militia on the frontier, to prevent
hostile expeditions from leaving the
United States, and to save private
property from destruction by mObS.",
There are many "votes" which poll
ticians are tempted TO court ; the "Irish
Vote,n the "liQuor-drinking vote," the
"southern votes" but 1t will be found,
in the long run, that the heaviest vote
in this country is that of the people
who desire their country TO deal fairly
and honestly with all nations, and who
love liberty and equal rights, and sup
port law and order ut home.
The DeerIng uurder---A surgical Lee
ture over the Dead Body of PrObst.
From Me Philadelphia North American,
June 10. -Ni --..
An autopsy of the body of the exc
cuted murderer Probst was made IN
the clinic room of Jefferson Medical
College on Saturday afternoon, in the
presence of as many persons as the
apartment would contain, all of whom
were present by invitation, and most
of whom were members of the medical
profession. al
The occasion was the subject of a
lecture by Prof Pancoast, son to the
veteran Professor, now unfortunately
suffering badly from Inflammation of
the eyes, and not able to be present.
The lecture and the operation lasted for
two hours, and was TO the medical stu
dents and physicians assembled an oc-
casion of special interest.
The body, dark and discolored at the
extreiniLies, was placed upon a revolv-
ing table on the centre OF the amphi-
theatre. The professors occupied the
nearest seats, and up to the highest
bench every inch of room was filed.
The result of the examination showed
that, aside from its ignominy, the man
neEa Oh fFODSL 3 ueaIu pEOuuSeu puJ one
single pang. He died not from conges-
ton, from asphyxia, or from the frac-
ture of the Vertebrae of the neck he
died from an immense shock, that
shattered in an instantt the entire nerv-
GUS system. There was livid mark
around the neck made by the rope.
Where the knot had been, there was no
discoloration Whatever, and this show
ed that the construction WAS only
around Il portion ofthe neck. There
was no laceration of the structures or
the tissues discernible when the neck
was opened. The jugular was distend-
ed with blood. Tue weight of the man
was i76.pounds, and the surgeon ex-
peCted that q fall of his body three feet
and half would have sundered every
part in this locality. Not even the
delicate veins were injured.
The cavity of the chest being exam
ined, showed muscular development 10
a high degree, and the presence OF strata
of fat. Death was not caused by want
of air, for the lungs were fully distend-
cd, and even perfectly healthy in ap-
pearance; and the right side of the
heart, usually congested under these
circumstances of death, was found in
its natural condition. The digestion
WIS perfect. Though the prisoner had
breakfast upon bread and butter, with
two boiled eggs, the whole were found
W udNG anu
absolutely empty.
The brain was healthy, but of less
than average size. Its weight WAS thir-
ty-six ounces; that of Green, the Nal
den murderer, was four ounces less.
Looking over the whole ground, the
young Professor pointed out the inev-
liable conclusion that Probst died from
the effects or the nervous shock result
ing from the fall, and from the COM
preston of the nerves and arteries.
