Coin CAUSE OF DISEASE. Let
those who are disp' sell to discourage
warm air in our houses, or to call our
present mild winter unhealthy, read
the following extract from an editorial
in a late number of the London Ian

There is cause of disease which
used to be greatly considered, but
which has of late been rather neglect

interesting address on Public Health

published, we believe, separate suggest
ed that, in the strength of our new
convictions of the necessities of fresh

evil of having too much of it, or OF
having it at a low temperature. The
older physicians thought more of cold
Ms q disease than of almost anything
else. And, indeed, it is a mighty pro-
Queer of diseass and death, which has
of late been greatly overlooked. II

winter months, into which we are just

bronchitis and pleurisy in people who

shock. 1t is no friend to any diathesis.
In short, it is lethal influence to be
feared as much as an epidemic poison
like that OF inhnenza OF cholera.

MONEY PREMIUMS AND
DIPLOMAS.

Recently we have heard several me-
ehanics express themselves on the sub.
jeet of the premiums awarded at the az.
ricultural fairs, both County and State
These premiums are now, in many cases,
paid in money, aud it Is only those arti.
cles which take a second prize, or others
that are regarded as of little value that
take prize in the shape of diploma.
The manufacturers with whom We
have conversed, say they would much
rather have their premium IN the shape
of certificate or diploma than in money
They argue that the value of the prize
does not compensate them for the labor oil
getting up their articles for exhibition
and where the money is paid they soon
spend it aud have nothing to show that
they took a premium. 1t is not the
value of premium that causes them &c
compete for the premium, but it is the
benefits to be derived FROM an increase oi
custom; or, in other words, the premIum
is an advertisement. The dealer would
much prefer a diploma, which he could
frame and display in his salesroom. Ir
that shape it would be constant remin.
der to the customer that articles made al
that factory are of the FIRST quality. Nor
does it seem that manufacturers alone
would be pleased 10 see this change made
The industrious housewife would prcfeI

A base ball club would prize more highl,

the articles in money.

HON. WIN. M. EvEARTs ON THE
MISSOURI TEST OATH.

In his argument in tho case which Gen.
eral Frank p. Blair has before the Uni.
ted States Supreme Court, Ox.Attorney
General Esarts quoted from the the 10th
section of the constitution of the Uni
ted States to show that no state can
pass any bill of attaiudcr, or e1 past tdcto
law, aud that such prohibition was q
prohibition against condemnation aud
punishment of citizen excepting by ju.
act by which General Blair was prevent
cd from voting was IN the nature of bill
<of attainder. Mr.. Blair's exclusion was
not in consequence of any judicial pro.
ceeding, but was through the exercise of
of the political power OF tho State in i'm
posing extraordinary conditions. Mr..
Evarts concluded very able protest
against the Missouri Test Oath in these
manly words: "I am not claiming as =
matter of federal control or judicial inqui.
ry, any interference that does not rest up.
on political considerations no interfer-
ence except such as is within the letter
aud in the true spirit of the upright aud
firm maintenance of the share OF common
liberty that is defended by these two
clauses of the Federal constitution. II
they do not include within their grasp
the right to correct the wrong, your hon.
ors arc discharged from any obligation or
from any fault; but If they do, then let
the Federal constitution stand though
that of Missouri fall. If they do not let
common right prevail though political
animosi,ies may be put to slccp."-Pitts-

DAMAGES AWARDED.

The telegraph informs us that, on
the first instant, jury awarded Dan
.iel d. Bell, of Rochester, $40, 900 dam
ages against General John A. Dix, on
account of Imprisonment in Fort La
fayette. We are glad to see this, and
we trust that other men who were i'm
.prisened ia the various bastiles of the
land, VIII seek and obtain redress in
the same manner. During the war
hundreds of men, and even some wo-
men, were imprisoned by the military
tyrants then in power, in total viola
tion of the plain and positive proyis-
ions of the federal Constitution
Many of the victims of this tyranny
died while in prison-their death be-
ing produced by the i'll treatment
they had received at the hands oil
their merciIess keepers. The mills
of the gods grind slowly but surely" +"
Heavy damages is the least reparatlon
that can be made to these victims
of oppression and cruelty.

FOREIGN WAR PROBABLE.

We have but little doubt, judging
from teleglaphic dispatches and 9TH
er significant facts, that Grant is anx-
ious to bring about a collision with
some foreign power, notwithstanding
his celebrated declaration-"Let us
have peace" A war with England,
or France, or Spain, or all combined,
would be of immense service to him
and his party; for it would divert the
attention of the people from them and
their acts, to the fuss and pageantry
of war. The financial condition of
the country is none too good it is .
knotty question which none can salts
factorily solve. Turn it which way
you will, it presents decidedly ugly
appearance-oncrous taxation and con-
slant toll and privation for the labor
ing classes for generations to come
Although Grant and his fne lers affect
to believe that the public debt can be
paid, and paid in gold too, yet they
don't believe half what they say, and
they know that there is danger that
the debt viii be repudiated, an toto,
while they are in power. a foreign
war would serxeto strengthen Grants
administration by silencing opposi-
-tion and causing the people, irrespec-
tive of party, to rally to his support
and if reputation should como it
could be charged to the war rather
than to him. And the same reason
ing applies, with more or less force,
to all the great questions with which
he has to grapple. Foreign war
would be god-send to him; and we
have no doubt he will do what he can
to stir up one

WHAT NEXT ?-If the Fifteenth

TREASON. Whoever dares to call
in question the motives of those who
prosecuted the late war for the avowed
purpose of preserving the Union are
denounced by the Radicals as copper
heads and traitors. Senator Sprague,
a Radical leader, must now come in
for his share of abuse. In speech
ON the Tenure of Office Act, Sprague
boldly declares as follows:
], for one, in looking back on the
past history of the conntry-and the
people, whatever philosophers may
say, viii come to the same conclusion
have came to the belief that your
war has not been won for the liberties
of any class of people; your war that
you have just partially concluded has
had no high virtuous principle at the
bottom of it. It has had simply con-
tentions for power, for place, and for
occupation, commencing here In this
body, and permeating throughout the
country.
Treason must be made odious'' and
the signal must be given for Radical
batteries to open their fire on one OF
their own leaders.

PHILLIPS LAST Wendell
Phillips Is an advanced Radical it is true
yet never has taken position SO advanced
but that in time the "party of progress "

has barely managed to keep ahead. Every
demand that he has made in behalf Oi
the negro, though himself out of Con-
gress and without authority, has been ac-
cedcd to by his followers, until he has
become sort of Radical guide board
BE it said to his credit, he has never
thus far misdirected those who have con
suited him as to what was ahead. His
utterances are oracular in all matters APP
pertaining to the future course Of his par
ty. 1t may be of interest to the country,
therefore, to know what Mr. Philips pro-
poses for Congress TO do next, which is
merely equivalent to prophesying what
