Extraordinary sickness Mt Washington.


Our telegraphic dispatches from Washington
of Wednesday night disclosed an extraordi-
nary number of Senators on the sick list
Senator Howard, who was unable to leave his
rooms on Tuesday, still continued very i'll !;
but, in addition to his case, Senator Grimes, of
Iowa, was reported as suffering from an attack
of paralysis; Senators Conkling of New York,
and Morton, of Indiana, as having been
attacked with symptoms of gastric fever, and
there was a rumor that Senator Nye, of Ne
vada, was also quite indisposed. The reaction
from the tremendous Senatorial nervous excite
ment on this impeachment, eliminating in the
awful shock among the impeachers from the
proclaimed opinions of Crimes Fessenden,
Trumbull and Henderson, on Monday night, has
doubtless had much to do with these remark
able cases of Senatorial sickness. In February,
1857, a strange epidemic broke out in the
National Hotel at Washington, from which
number of persons died, and from which Mr..
Buchanan, then as President elect lodger in
the house, had a narrow escape. That dsor-
der was traced to a poisonous sewer, the gases
from which Qhe outlet of the sewer in the
canal being frozen up) came back into the
hotel and were diffused through the whole
establishment, from the cellar to the attic.
This impeachment has, perhaps, been ope-
rating the same way in the Capitol, and, from
present appearances very disastrous epi-
demic among the rank and file of the radical
party will be the result

Bergh and Observation-Disclosures and th.


Law.
Some of the papers are making great deal
Of fuss about an alleged squabble between that
eminent philanthropist, President Bergh, and
Justice Bowling, of the Police Court and Court
of Sessions. They imply that Judge Bowling
has not properly carried out the law in cases
that have been brought before him by the Presi-
dent of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals; that he has suffered men
who own fighting dogs to go free; that he has
not committed to Jail certain monsters who cut
the ears of black and tan terrier pups; and,
above all, that he has attempted to throw ridi-
cule upon the name and calling of the great
champion of the brute creation. Our indig-
nant contemporaries appear to forget that JUS
tice is not only blind, but exceedingly indif-
ferent to the sensitive feelings of philanthropic
philosophers and nervous ladies of certain
age, and that before citizen can be deprived
of his liberty, even though he may be guilty of
owning an UNDERLYING bulldog or crop-eared
spaniel, he must be proved by competent wit
nesses to have been engaged in a violation of
law. Justice Bowling has the reputa-
'tion of fearless, upright and impartial
Judge, and he has never yet been
accused of favoring rowdyism or lawlessness
of any kind. We have great respect for Mr..
Bergh, whose humanity deserves the praise of
every good Christian; but at the same time
we are disposed to question the dogmas that
turtles are tortured by being turned over on
their backs, that turkeys suffer by having their
legs tied with cord and being carried to
market head down, that it is more brutal to
cut puppys ears than to pierce those of
young lady, and that clans and oysters should
not, in Christian country, be opened alive.
President Bergh has certainly done good
work in securing comfortable carts for sheep
aud calves to ride in, instead of having their
legs tied and their heads hung over the sides
and back OF common truck, and his efforts
in behalf of car horses are deserving of COM
mendation, provided he does not insist upon
substituting them in our markets for beef and
mutton. But we nevertheless believe that our
great philanthropist would do better to turn
his attention to street cleaning instead Of look
ing after isolated instances OF cruelty to ami
mails. If he would devote his energies to
securing US clean streets he would benefit not
only the four-legged creatures, but those who
go on two legs as well, and would deserve the
nothing of the inferior portion of creation.

of the country, Whatever his personal feel
ings toward the President may be, he should
not allow himself to be made an instrument
in any way Of the great national iniquity
which violent faction would bring upon the
country. BY taking q bold and Independent
course against the infamous attempt to depose
the President on the frivolous and absurd
charges trumped up he would save his own
high character from reproach, would make
himself more popular than ever and might
even save the republican party from annihila-
ton. Never had popular public man bet
ter opportunity to acquire lasting honor and
fame. On the other hand, should he let this
opportunity slip and 60 with the Jacobin fac
tion in their iniquitous course, he win be dis
honored and probably defeated at the polls
next November. 1t will be most inglorious
end to brilliant career, and the people, look
ing at him with pity, win ever after say, ''How
are the mighty fallen !"

Thad Stevens to His Celored Friends-He
Gives His Author.
Old Thad Stevens made speech the other
day to the General Conference of the African
Methodist Church, in Washington, doing more
honor to his colored brethren than he did to
the Senate Of the United States, by remaining
standing while he was speaking and being
spoken to. In the course of his remarks he
admitted 1t was lin measure through the
agency of the Internal regions that his colored
friends had become free and were at liberty to
call themselves men," 1t has been suspected
for long time that Old Thad was in league
with the Old Harry, but there is no proof of
his acknowledging the fact until the present
moment. This is tangible evidence of his ap-
preaching end; for it is notorious that the
worst sinners hold back their important con-
fessi0ns until the hour Of dissolution. There
fore, having acknowledged the real author and
inspiration of his many Internal doings in this
world, his hardest hearted adversary cannot
help wishing him an easy transit to blssful
hereafter. He may, however, after all, cheat
the Devil as Richelieu cheated the king, and
obtain longer lease of power to do evil. But
this deathbed confession is on the record
against him, and whatever of the Satanic kind
he may do in the future will be attributed to
the fact that, like poor old Daddy Rice in his
well known character of the colored Fra Dia-
volo, he has ''sold himself to de debbil"
