Seeing the very large number of deaths
which result from errors made by druggists in
the hlling of hysicians' prescriptions, would
II not be the part of wisdom and prudence TO
abolish, either by agreetneat between the d.
DIS or by legislative enactmeut the use OF La
tin, and also of abbreviatIons In prescribing
medicine! II only the English language were
used. and that plainly written out At full
length, there would be, we feel quite cerSain,
fewer fatal mistakes Of this kind than IS thugs
are managed now.
An instance which only too forcibly Illus
tIates the need of some reform in this respect
occurred but few days ago in Philadelphia,
where a woman met instant death through the
error of druggists assistant, who mistook the
sboreyiation of the word dssafesid tor that of
G'ropiG-a different and poisonous drug. Now,
does anybody suppose that this fatal blunder
would have occurred If the word had been
plainly written out We know answer NAV
be made that druggists ought TO be competent
ard careful men, ana ought also to provide
competent and careful assistants So they
ought. But physicians are none the less
bound 10 use every means in fh.ir power 10
guard against danger from this cause, for igno-
rant men may OCCASIONALLY b. employed. un-
Willingly, and the most careful ara l.7bI> to
blunder sometimes
The fact j., the use Of Latin in such case is q
relic of superstitlous or credulous age, when
Itused to carry good deal Of weight As between
the sheep skin and charlatan branches of the
profession. But it don't 90 so far now-a-days $,
when nearly every school boy has a smattering
of it. II looks stylish, to be sure, and we dare
say it is qualification to patients TO know that
their doctor knows Latin; but a majority OF
them would at the same time, we have no
doubt, be glad 10 exchange this qualification for
a feeling of absolute security from mortiferous
mistakes growing out of its unnecessary
dis play.

IL seems to be settled that the faur pas COM
mitted by Mr. Reverdy johnson thus early in
his diplomatic career will occasion his recall
1t the earliest moment that he eau be reached
by new administration There is little doubt,
too, that the present administration considers
him so much of a failure as a representative AZ
the Court of 81. James that il would gladly
avail itself of any genteel mode of dispIacing
that could b. managed without too great m srCi-
hca'ion to himself Unfortunately there is no po-
sltiOn in the gift of the Government equivalent

10 which he can be transferred; so IT is probable
that he will be permitted to stav in England

The full reports of what transpired at the
Liverpool dinner puts Mr. johnson in a posi-
uon more Notifying TO our national pride than
did the cable kilograms. The apologies for NJ.
johnson have excused his course in 5 .ttIng IL
the same table with MIR. Laird on the ground
that 10 would have been unseemly and undig-
mined m him 10 make scene 81 public dinner
because particular guest was present. But
n seems that Mr.. johnson went the extraordi-
nary length of seeking Laird out. and asking
TO b. introduced 10 him; aud that the friend
ship struck up between them was of so cs-diaI
nature that the next day Mr. LAIRD Joined
MI. JOhDsOns party during an excursion on
the rIver.' This extraordinary course of Mr..
Johnson following close upon his previous
hob-nobbing with Mr.. ROebuck and Lor
WharDcliffe, two OF the most bitter and I'M
sCrupulous enemies this country has in Eng
land. mortified English Liberals aud surprised
even the Tories, who had sense enough to

ton IN this country, aud rouse all the ILL

The Cabinet makers are hard at work with
their 'slafes," and have considerably taken all
he trouble from General Grants shoulders Of
selecting his official advisers. Probably, the
only 0fhculty he Will have, Will be in selecting
from their selections, for they have rather
oyerdone the business in point Of numbers. 1t
tales away somewhat from the infallibiiity
That should attach 10 announcements, go pre-
Cisely and positively made, that the number of
Cabinet officers thus given out should BE- con-
sIderably beyond the number prescribed by
law. Thus. no less than nineteen persons are
Iamec TO be Secretary of State, twenty-one to
b. Secretary of the Treasury, eighteen 10 be
Stcre'aryof War eleven to be Secretary of the
Navy, nine to be Secretary of the Interior, and
thirteen 70 be Postmaster General There is a
certain degree OF uncertainty about all this
that causes an unpleasant doubt whether the
utterances in regard to the new Cabinet are
altogether orscuIar.

What shall be said OF reconstruction in TexasP
Briefly that every effort In that direction has been
mere neabite except in the matter OF expense ana
that puny partisan tricky policy OF national recon-
struction can no more effect the desttnies OF that
mighty empire than q Limple on q man,s
nose can stop his running foot race. Texas must
continue to cost five millions year for military
reconstruction than Boutwell, ever planned or Ste-
vens advocated is put into effect. and until the hard
common sense OF the people s brought to bear upon
this subject as 1t has been upon the Presidency.
The politicians have tried reconstruction and have
signally and miserabiy failed. The people must now
take the matter in hand.
