"OLIvA" writes letters from Washington
10 Forney's Press. She has undertaken the
task of writing up BEN. WADE. In one of
her letters she says of him:
Massachusetts spared him room to be
born, but the great West nourished him
upon her broad bosom, and there his mind
drank in the grand landscape of dimpled
lake and sunny, dew-kissed prairie, and
there he learned, irrespective of color or
sex. devotion to his race"
What BEN. "drank inn is known out
here in Ohio by the name of Whisky, and
not by the names of "dimpled lake, and
''sunny, dew-kissed prairie )" but then,
nowadays, in the East they have new
names for old things.

contained in the bill shall be so construed
tering cat-mint to infants. The motion
was not agreed to.
The question recurring on the passage of
the bill,
Mr. DANGLER doubted whether the
people of Ohio were prepared for meas
ure of this kind.
Mr.. HUTCHESON argued in favor of the
right and duty of the Legislature to pro-
tect the people against quacks in medicine,
though it had no right to make distinc-
tion in favor of any particular school of
medicine.
The vote was then taken and the bill
passed by the following vote:

This bill makes it unlawful for any per-
son to practice medicine in any OF its de-
partments, including surgery, within the
limits of this State, who has not attended
two full courses OF instruction and gradu-
ated at some school of medicine, either in
the United States or some foreign country,
and who cannot produce certificate of
qualification from some State or county
medical society, unless he has been con-
linually engaged in the practice of medi-
cine Ior period of ten years or more-a
person who has been in continuous prae-
tice for five years to have two years in
which to comply with the provisions OF
the bill.
The penalty for a violation of the provi-
sions OF the bill is fine of not less than
$50 nor more than 500, and for second Of
tense, in addition to the fine, imprisonment
in the county Jail for thirty days. The bill
does not apply to dentists. ss
The bill now goes to the House for its
concurrence in the Senate amendments, on
which the foregoing statement as to the
provisions of the bill is predicated.

the anomalous stagnation and condition
of the times, we must concur with OUT
correspondent in his view that the inte'
rests of the city require a present and
considerable reduction Of rents. And
we believe the interests OF tho landlords
as much require the same thing. They
have legal and perhaps q moral right
to the highest rates they can get. But 1t
will be suicidal at this time to exact
them. 1t is somewhat difficult, we know,
for men to drop their old accustomed
figures of four thousand down to one,
But, if that will retain population, capt.
tai and business as we believe it will do
in very large degree, it will be the best
and wisest thing for all concerned which
can be done. Let no business man leave
Memphis with a just reason for saying
that there was no obstacle to his success
here but rents too high to be afforded
If they do, we shall all have reason to
repent and regret together.
We are informed that considerable
portion of the landlords Of New Orleans
have, unsolicited, reduced their rents
twenty five per cent within the last few
days, making the reduction in all fifty
per cent. at least from last years rates.
Not less should be done here. And 1t
that is not enough, it is even more the
true interest of landlords to make the
reduction greater still than it is import
ant to tenants, who are free to 60 where
they will, and may choose other places
for business. Let landlords at once
adopt such liberal and magnanimous
course as will show that they are not
f" penny wise and pound foolish sharp
in the greed of gathering in to-day at the
expense of the great harvest of to-mor-
row, their own permanent interest, and
the promised great future of our city,
which can be destroyed by impolicy as
well as built up by following the dictates
of common sense.

Utility Of Ants.

In reading of the destructiveness OF
ants in tropical countries, we are often
tempted to question their utility and
object. A recent traveller, however, in
forms US that, without their agency, the
entire region would soon become unin-
habitable by being ehoked up with veg
etable growths; but that by the inces-
SAINT activity of countless hordes all &c.
cayiug interchangeable and animal
is speedily removed from off the face Of

Union is indispensable, with concerted
action, vigor and thorough organization.
The Convention must be fair, without a
uuirk or dodge, or the influence OF any
CLIQUE. And this FIRST assured, it must
and will be obeyed by every man who
will not incur the disgrace of setting up
his individual and personal interest at
the expense of the success of the white
man party of Shelby county. Wewould
not vote for such man if we knew it,
now or hereafter.
Let every candidate present himself
and his claims before the people to be
fairly considered between now and the
18th of February, so that the ward and
district meetings and the Convention may
be prepared as fully as possible to make
a fair and best selection. But if man
presents himself as a candidate, let him
be required to answer first of all, whether
he is pledged to abide the action of the
Convention. If he is not, tell him he il
no white mans candidate, and that ht
NAV as well come down from his perch
We intend the Convention shall be al
impartial as honest men know how t
make IL. The effort to make it so will b
earnest and determined. But whatevel
the result may be, candidates must taxi
their chances and abide by it. 1t i
q fixed fact and sworn thing that nj
personal considerations whatsoever shall
take a Conservative vote from the nomi
nees Of that Convention, be they who the.
