DISTRICT MEDICAL SOCIETY.

The District Medical Society, of the County
of Cumberland, had its regular meeting on
Tuesday last, at Davis Hotel, and was attend
ed by members from almost every section of
our County. ~
The President, DR.. Wm. Elmer, Jr., took
the chair, and the regular business ofthe meet
ing proceeded as usual. The reports from the
different parts of the County, showed that no
epidemics had prevailed very extensively dur
ing the last six months. 45,ssi ...
Some cases of Small Pox had occurred in
Bridgeton and vicinity some of Measles in
Fairfield some of Whooping- Cough in Downe,
and the usual Autumnal fevers had been no.
ticed by all present. To make these reports
more accurate and interesting in the future,
each member will be required to render writ
ten statement or synopsis of epidemics which
may have come under his observation.
In order to aid the efforts now made to Sc
cure to the people of our State the benefits
arising from wholesome sanitary restrictions,
the medical men of this county will unite in
signing petition to our next Legislature, for
The passage of such sanitary laws.
This Society, having been founded in 1918,
is now approaching its sem-centennial ami

The Italian question has taken different
shape from that apprehended by the wise men
of politics, in either the old hemisphere or t he
new. Itwas not believed that Louis Napo-
leon would risk another forcible Intervention
into the affairs of a foreign power, after his
disastrous experiment in Mexico; but it ap-
pears that he has decided to take the risk, and
has commanded Victor Emmanuel to enforce
the terms of the old treaty, by which France
was bound to sustain the Pope. The Italian
troops bad been sufficiently successful to place
victory within their grasp, and secure the ex-
pulsion of the Papal temporal power, but this
aspect of affairs compelled their withdrawal,
and the whole question reyerts back where it
was before. In spite of all this, however, the
question of Italian unifcation is but question
of time, and Louis Napoleon cannot always
be in position to force a religious despotism
upon an unwilling people. Mexico gave far
greater promise of success than Italy does
now, and yet Mexico has completely defeated
his schemes, banished bis armies, loaded his
government with that most unpopular of all
debts-one contracted in prosecuting an un.
just war to an unsuccessful issue-shot the
emperor he attempted to place over them, re-
duced the empress to pitiable insanity, killed
off large number of the best soldiers of
France, and rendered the throne of his empire
far less secure than before he intermingled in
their affairs. Heis now, in a different form,
repeating the same experiment with even less
prospects of success.
The last advices from Italy show that the
I ceiling is increasing, several battles having
been fought, mainly resulting in success for
the revolutionists. The French troops have
sailed from Cherbourg, to support the cause
of the Pope. 49,

THE srTuATrou


NOW that the haze of the late h...,. =
''ear'ng away, the different political contest
an's are surveying the field, and making nm
s'nelr conclusions, which seem amusing rather
tnan otherwise, to us, who claim the nosit;on
OF an independent lookcr-ou. In these bat
'es, tne Republicans have lost the governors
OF the states of Connecticut and California no
mean disaster to their power, for an immense
amount OF power is lodged with these iudivid.
uals' In the event of a national question being
submitted to the arbitrament of force. They
nave lost seven members of the House of Rep-
resentatives, which renders their two-thirds
majority more doubtful there, and they lose
soon two United States Senators. In The
states which have voted, they have lost in
round numbers 107, 900 votes, as compared
with those polled last year. These facts seem
10 point to still further losses in the states
yet to vote, and appear to assert that a very
considerable change has been going on in the
minds OF large numbers of those who have
heretofore voted their ticket. On the other
hand, except in the single state of Connecticut,
the Democrats have made no actual gain in
votes. Indeed, they poll from six to eight
per cent. less than in 1867. The Republicans
poll from ten to thirteen per cent less, so that
if it were admitted that the recusants of both
parties still hold their old opinions when once
they were brought out to vote, the Democratic
increase would about equalize the matter, and
. .
the contest would be close enough to satisfy
betting politician. The so living of this
problem, on terms favorable to their own pe-
culiar view, will no doubt now be the work Of
the parties until the election. In any case,
however, as it appears to us, the Republicans
are sure of the material success of their plans
of reconstruction. They are sure of major
ity in this and the next house OF representa-
tives, and equally sure Of the Senate, even if
the states should all GO against them (Which
is not likely for at least six years to come, so
that, as We said, in any case they will hold
the power until the South is reconstructed,
and the basis of the currency and national
bonds made unassaiably secure. In addition
to this, il is almost certain that the southern
states, SO far as they may be reconstructed,
will send Republican Senators and Represen-
tatives, in which case the situation becomes
more and more complicated as the days roll on.
One thing is certain, the Republicans in look
ing somewhat blankly, at the unanticipated re-
suits of the next elections, predict victory
the rest of the campaign, from the rude arous-
ing which they have received at the hands Of
their opponents, and even if they lose, point to
the significant fact that in any event they hold
the power. The Democrats anticipate victory
also, and insist that they have just learned
how to defeat their political antag gonists, and
that by the coming elections they will so far
have improved their lesson, as to wipe their
opponents out of any appreciable existence.
What the end WILL be, the facts of course
alone can determine. -'st- 9 ~

"talk'' has been held, at which Senator Hen
derson was the chief speaker upon our side,
and various Indian chiefs with unpronounca-

substance of it all, is that the savages agree
to accept new reservation where they are to
