DEMOCRATIC TEsTIMoNY.--Gen Harri-
son G. Hobart, was the Democratic candi-
date for Governor in this State in 1859,
and again 1855. He has been ON duty the
past year in Louisiana. He was home in
this State at the election, and voted for

needs only short experience of resi-

out of any Northern man.

The MONEY CANDIDATE.-We,don not learn
that MitchelPs ''foonds" succeeded in infiu-
encing voters in any of the towns in this
county outside the city, except one. In the
town of Paris, we are told, a half dozen were
tempted to erase the the name of Gen. Paine
and substitute that of the bondholder, bank
er and railroad king. Notwithstanding this
discreditable exception, our fliends in the
town of Paris did nobly, and the result meets
the highest expectations.

Pounding Hospitals.

IT is, humanity speaking, rather good sign Of
the times when the dainty spirit which re-
coiled before the contemplation of some of the
evils that infest, and always have infested,
society, are not Stunned by delicate females
and pruriently affected gentlemen. Society
now knows that there are evils, deep and
dark, from which it must no longer shrink. 1t
begins to realize that if the social atmosphere
is to be kept pure, or at least attempted to bs
kept pure, from taints which atilict the whole
body pslitic, that the way to remove, or, il
not entirely to remove, to mitigate these evils,
is to meet them boldly and unshrinkingly.
There was time, and that not so very long
ago, when, if a Miss Nightingale had sug.
gested the propriety Of delicately nurtured
and highly cultivated ladies entering into
the precincts and confronting the filthy
recesses of male hospital, such a proposal
would have been received with as much aston
ishment as if it had been suggested that ladies
Of this day should take in washing 1t was
only recently, we may say, that the public
press, conformity with ministers of all denomi-
nations, would allude in the faintest manner
to the disgrace and harrow of what is per-
hsps rather euphemistcally called the social
evil. Fortunately, if the remedy for its eradi-
cation has not yet been found, it is honorable
to the courage and humanity of the noble
minded ladies of our own city who were not
afraid, on behalf of the Rosine Association,
which they represented to attempt to rescue
from the path worse than that which leadeth
even unto the valley of the shadow OF
death, erring sisters belonging to the same
human family, created by the common Father,
and to whom the Voices Of these pure mis-,

column with historical and medical details
OF this child-murder as it is practised in
various FORMS but the regular readers of our
daily journals and court reports know enough
without our permitting ourselves to fill our
pages with these most repulsive particulars.
The very statistics are alarming to read. Oar
readers will know to what a frightful extent
this murderous crime has become in our
country. 1t is almost if the medical AMI law
reports are true, like an epidemic spreading
over the land. The question to be considered
is, would the establishment of found
ling hospitals prevent in any way
the commission of this almost uni
versal crime? Our own experience testifss
that it would not. We no more be
lieve that they would eradicate this evil
than the establishment of the ROsine Associa-
tOn would eradicate the evil it seeks to ame-
liorate; but like that, it is worthy of trial.
We think common sense would dictate that ii
woman should be so unnAturally inclined as
to seek to destroy her offspring, the very fear
of detection, ii not humanity, would rather
impel her to deposit her infant in place of
this kind than to incur any other risk. We
would, at all events, like to see the expert
ment tried.
