We would direct the special attention Of
those suffering from diseases Of the throat and
lungs to DR.. Hunters letter in another column.
The writings Of this physician have excited
much interest in this country, and he has ac
quired a reputation in the large cities north of
us surprising that Of any other physician. This
letter il the first of 3 series which he intends 20
publish, and this correspondence will. undoubt->
edly, be interesting and instructive 10 many.
All are aware Of the fearful mortality resulting
from CONSUMPTION. and there are probably few
families in this city that have not been visited
by il. and the mortuary reports show that il is
increasing. The statistics of the mortality Of
the city Of Paris Cor the year 1866 prove that,
exclusive Of those who died of cholera, nearly
oNF-BALr Of the deaths resulted from diseases
of the lungs. The mortality in our city is pro-
badly not so great. butts increasing in an alarm
ing manner, and il becomes all TO examine
closely every means which promise to prevent
or remedy SO great destroyer. particularly
when coming from physician of DR.. Hunters
reputation and experience.
DIR. Hunter has ioryears devoted his exclusive
attention TO the study and treatment Of diseases
of the head. throat. lungs and heart, and has
established an enyiable reputation by bis skill
and success in their treatment, and We trust has
efforts in this city, where he has established his
home, will be as satisfactory as they have here
tofore been. However skeptical the reader may
De upon the subject Of the durability Of Con-
sumption, he cannot doubt or dispute that il
may be prevented by remeiying in time those
diseases which produce IL.

RECONsTRUCTION.
Judicial Decision as to White and
Black JurOrs.


Black Jurors.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 16.-Judge Bryan, OF
the U. S. Court, in case to-day, testing
the validity of the panel of jury drawn
of voters and taxpayers, irrespective of
color, decided that although the Congress
of 1910 required the Jurors to be drawn
as prescribed by the Legislature of each OF
the respective States, yet that this must be
construed in reference to the changes Gre
ated by the war. He held that Congress,
as'now constituted, was the legal Congress
of the whole country; and that the recon
struction act OF Congress, comforting suf-
frage upon the negroes, was valid, and was
the provisional constitution and law of the
State. He held that President johnson
had no power to restore any seeding State
to the Union. He says:
81 say it with grave sense of respon-
sibility; it was not competent for the Pres
ident, by any act of his, to bind Congress
and restore the State to the Union, and
connect it by constitutional ligaments and
relations. | hold there was no legal gov
eminent or State constitution in South
Carolina, and that under the existing pro-
visional government, the reconstruction
acts of Congress were the supreme Law
and the constitution of the State. If there
was any constitution in South Carolina, OF
any legal State government, then the acts
Of 1910, commanding the Judge to accept
of jurors alone, those who are voters under
the constitution of the State, and who are
qualified by the act of its Legislature
would be decisive Of this question, and the
panel should have been drawn alone o.
white men, but it is otherwise"

MODERN PRoGREss IN THE MEDICAL PRoFEs-
sIoN.-The public have lately had presented to
them rather novel feature in the journalism Of
the day in the shape Of elaborate scientific trea-
tises medical subjects, appearing in consec-
utive chapters. in the columns of the daily and
weekly newspapers Of this city. These articles
are from the pen Of DR.. Hunter, the well-known
practitioner in pulmonary and bronchial dis
eases, and are distinguished by their thorough
acquaintance with the subjects treated Of, the
simplicity and cleamess Of their language, and
the domonstrative force Of the argument en-
ployed
Now, we know from the vast number Of
cases treated and cures effected by DR.. Hunter
during the period referred to. that his efforts
contributed, if not to produce ALL at sleast the
greater share Of this Improvement. The sever
ity Of the past winter would have increased, in
stead Of diminished, the mortality arising from
pulmonary disease, had not there been some
new and powerful counteracting influence at
work.

THE New York World Of tbe I


THE New York World of the 18th says
Within few weeks past there has been
in this city an epidemic of evening issues
Of seven-by-nine sheets of printed paper,
claiming to be newspapers, but in reality
containing no news, no evidences Of Journal
ism, no, or next to no, advertisements, no
markets-and, happily, limited market
of their own-and none of the character
istics of the generally received view of
newspapers. The number of these mush-
rooms is more bewildering than alarming
and so bewildering that it is difficult to re-
call their titles or their editors, but the
following may be mentioned The 1sls-
gram, by Mr.. Benjamin Wood; the Nelus,
by Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, Senior; the
Maj, by Mr.. Ahern; and the Evening
Gazette, by Mr.. Charles Fl. Sweetser. Peo-
pie passing along the sidewalks on their
way home, strangers in the city, the pa
irons of bar-rooms, and now and then a
ehambermaid, out on cher afternoon" may
occasionally try these exceedingly weak
evening issues, but the mass of the people
are buyers of newspapers.
A few copies of these sheets have been
received at this Office, and we think the
Worlds comments are justifable.

| New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Hearld's
| special says: Henry A. Wise made the ad.
| dress at the opening of the horticultural
and Agricultural Society of Virginia in
Richmond last night His remarks, oil
course, touched mainly on the present POI

young men of the State to become farmers,
do their own labor and get rid of the
negroes and European emigrants.
An immense gathering of Republicans
took place at Cooper Institute last evening,
to ratify the nominations of the convention
at Syracuse Speeches were made by
several prominent leaders, in which Gen.
Grant was hailed as the candidate of the
party for the Presidency in 1868.
The Metropolitan FIRE department has
ordered tax of 500 to be levied on the
chief engineer, and proportionste sums on
the employees of the department, to defray
the expenses of the Republican party at
the next State election.
There were 1920 voters registered in
New York and Brooklyn yesterday, making
the total number registered for two days

To pay the interest on 500 bonds which
fall due on the LIST of November, twenty~
four millions in cash will be required at

The forthcoming report of the Commits
sioner of Customs it is said will exhibit
a very satisfactory result of the preventive
and detective service. During the last
fiscal year, considerably over a million of
dollars have been added to the Treasury
from the seizure and sale of Struggled
goods.
The Times special says parties interested
are hard at work making up case to prove
the liability of the government for the
counterfeit 7-30s. The government will
resist the claim to the utmost.
Gen. Dennison testified before the Judi
ciary Committee yesterday that while the

On one occasion, calling al the store, and
finding the proprietor not at home, she
inquired where he was, and sent her car
riage and driver after him across the
bridge into the north division.
In February last she brought some dress

sum she should get for them, she drove off,
saying she should never come again. She
kept her word, and the pawnbroker heard

the most momentous questions Of the day, and

We deeui it our duty 10 direct attention to the
subject IL only the remotest probability Of
relief to suffering humanity presented itself. or
the progress Of these insidious diseases could be
but temporarily checked, DR.. Hunter should be
considered public benefactor; bat when they
offer a reasonable hope of cure, the subject de-
serves 10 be considered with care and attention.
