TrsURE-oF -OrrIcE LAw.-Senstor SHER-
MAN on Tuesday declared himself in favor
of the prompt repeal of the tonure-of-office
act, which he thought had operated injuri-
ously to the public service, preventing the
collection Of the revenue, and being great
Indictment to frauds. He wanted that un-
oonditionally repealed, and then he would
90 for psrfecting the constitutional amend
mept.
We have little doubt that this obnoxious
hill will DO repealed. Speculations are va
rious, however. Some leading Republican
papers-deoidedly GRANr-seem to be quite
uneasy for fear it will be left upon the
statute
The New York Herald says that if Con-
gress does not repeal the law General GRANT
will do what he thinks proper, regardless OF
IL. The Herald says: "The Senate can
"take the responsibility for much corrup-
"tion and be none the worse, and GRANT,
{" owing duty to the country, must then
eight that great defence of all official vii
"lainy-the Senate. lie will put good men
Gin place, or rogues out, without regard to
"this law, and make case for the Supreme
"Court to have deter mination on the
"valility of this mischievous statute" .

Nor so CERTAlN.-The New York Tribune
Is veSed OF disagreement between the two
Houses on tho subject of the constitutional
amendment about the negroes. The de-
cided refusal Of the House to concur in the
Senate's amendment makes the Tribune
" far less certain as to the future of the
amendment on which 50 many hopes have
/" been built"
Friend GREELEY is as troubled as a hen
with a brood of young ducks which have
gone into the water. The Republican
wagon is just now entering upon newly
cut road, full of roots and stumps, and it is
awfully knocked and Jared from side to
side. There is no telling what moment an
axle-tree may break or there may be a gen
eral smash. ,n rs.r -|/..t sf I

CoLps.--The Chinese have a remedy
which they cay is sovereign cure for
colds. They regard il Gs 8 breach of good
manners for any one to appear in public
when he is liable to cough or sneeze,
" because nothing would be easier than to
/" cure himself ct once by taking drug
which they call to GUAM 19hian, and
assert to be certain specific for cold"
AS some Of the greatest suh'erings Of
mankind grow out of colds, such a remedy
would be invaluable. If there is any truth
IN what the Celestials say (Which we doubU
the smart men in this country, who are
ever preparing nostrums for all sorts of
diseases, ought to import the remedy. 1t
would be q money-making business.

HYDRopHoB1A. - Our neighbor Of the
Whg yesterday gave us counterblast to
the wild cry of mad-dog." 1t is quite
timely, for the cry seems to be rapidly
spreading. Our New York exchanges
bring accounts of the dreadful manifesto
tions of hydrophobia thereabout. a Mr..
CHARLES LUDLAM died in Brooklyn Mon
day from the bite of rabid dog, and
"twenty mad-dogs had been killed in
Queens county in month y! Then, man
and two children were bitten some time
since at Fosters Meadow, L. |. They were
treated with the usual remedies, but one OF
the children was taken with the disease
last week and died and it was reported
that the man and the other child were both
afterwards attacked. TIMOTHY MCCARTHY,
a saloon-keeper in Newark, N. j., was bit
ten on Eew-Year's day, was seized with
paroxysms on Sunday, and died after terri
bic suffering.
These cases are quite enough to raise the
hue and cry against the dogs, and there
will be great slaughter. Probably not one
in ten will be, indeed, diseased. Yet the
fearful nature of rabies, and the hopeless
condition of one who has been bitten by "
mad-dog, naturally fill whole community
with alarm when one makes his appear
ance. Every poor, hungry, and tired dog
that droops and hangs his tail will be de-
cided to be mad, and put to death.

SHABBY CoNDUcT At RALEfGH.-The
newly-instailed "lyal 2 officials in Raleigh,
N. c., are behaving very badly. On satur-
day there was quite sensation in the town
because the Supreme Court threatened 70
imprison the Auditor for not obeying an
order issued by the court requiring him 10
vacate the room formerly occupied BY the
court, which he had taken possession Oh
The Governor HOLDEN took sides with .he
Auditor, and is Said to have sworn nke
blazes that his officers should not DC Sent 70
nr;son. ADAMS (the Auditory was at large
upon his own reoognizance TO appear OUT
the court was firm in its determination to
;noarcsrate him unIess be purged himself
Of contempt. -
The. Legislature on Saturday was quite
excited on the subject. The ultras at
tackled the Supreme Court, and one of them
"a carpet Dagger named Hayes wanted to
clear the capitol of the Supreme Court.
One Mr.. SEYMOUR moved to instruct the Su-
preme Court "to mol. pros. any sction they
had taken against the Auditor" The Senate
passed resolution referring the matter to
the Governor in which the House refused to
concur. But there were signs that the
Auditor would ceve in.
The Sentinel Of Tuesday states that the
Attorney General was able to appear in
court, but bore upon his head and face the

TRICHlANosIs.-Thi disease has appeared
in New York. Eight cases occurred in one
house. They seem to have been all Ger
mans. The people Of Germany are said to
be not particular about cooking pork we'll
done. They incline to take it little rare.
Hence the trichina are not killed in the
cooking, and after the meat is eaten they
leave il and 90 on flibuEtoring expedi-
ton through tho flesh Of the pereon who

Mississippi-T'he Old Game.

The truly lyal'' in Mississippi, being
apprehensive that the State would be
brought in on something like the PROPOSE
ton of the committee Of nine, are working,
after the old fashion, to prevent it. So they
do not fail to resort to that trick which has
been Of so much service in times past.
They get up paper setting forth that the
prospect of bringing in Mississippi on the
plan described has set the opponents of
reconstruction n" in happy gale, which
has led them to riot and outrage. This
preamble is followed by recital Of a num-
Der Of cases of cruelty. THE ia placed be-
fore the leading Republicans and the Com
mittee of Reconstruction.
OF course this was looked for and Con-
gress understands it as we'll as any one
does. All that is in 1t is that if Congress
will Cypress the State of Mississippi under
the pretext that these stories afford, il
would do so without them. Such patent
testimony can be of no real weight with in
telligent men. AS long as Congress lends
an ear to it there will never be an end Of il
All sorts of acts Of violence will be twisted
tc suit, and where those which do happen
are ecarce, there will be enough manufac'
tured to meet any demand. The war must
be kept up. 1t must be shown that the PEG
pie are still rebellious-still only fit to pay
taxes, and thus the salaries of the truly
loyal" who can alone be entrusted with the
business Of administering public affairs.
The trick is too transparent not to be under
stood by oil men, and will, we repeat, be
employed just so long aD Congress may
choose to give the testimony thus ccllated
q place in its archives.
We suspect the day is near when these
sleight-of-hand performers will give uE
their trade. If we ere to have "peace
they must withdraw. They are but making
war, and General GRANT promises to put
them all down in promising peace, which
can never come as long as they are an Oh
stacle in the way. 49,.
