The McHenry case is, in effect, prosecution
for perjury against witness who swore to
names. dates, places, and other particulars OF
the bribery of the Internal Revenue Commits
sioner and his Deputy by whisky dealers.
The Jury had not agreed on a verdict, up to
the adjournment of the Court, yesterday even
ing; but it is safe to say that, on the evidence
as presented, the public has already made
up ats verdict. Whether or not the man
NcHenry is guilty of perjury, it is very clear
that his charges against the Commissioner and
Deputy are disproved. 1t is so hard to drive
out the dishonest Revenue officers whom all
the thieves combine to praise, and so easy to
blacken the reputation of an honest officer by
hiring the thieves to swear against him, that
we hold it good deed done the public service
when calumny of this sort is thus shown to
he utterly and absolutely groundless.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-02-20

We thank Governor" Hoffman for his resoIute
stand against the curse of special legislation.
He very truly said in his first veto message
that special action by the Legislature should
never he taken upon cases which were or ought
he covered by general laws. We cannot afford
to have the time of our Legislature taken up
by private bills nor can we run the risk of
fraud which in such bills is so easy. If the
Governor will persist in vetoing all such
measures he will do public service.

reserve fund against an accidental monetary
depression. If the asylum, hospital, or school
is established for q purpose not originally
good, but adapted to the wants of the present
day, and if it is managed properly and on just
and liberal principles it will always receive
correspondingly ample support. If it does
not answer this description, the sooner it
comes to an end the better for all parties. If
$1,000 is left to an orphanage, it is wiser to
admit at once as many children as that sum
will provide for and educate than to invest it
and add one more to the sum total of
orphans.
If $1,000 is bequeathed to some hospital, it
is better to fit up as many more beds as the
money will pay for within the year, provided
there are patients ready to occupy them, than
to buy a field and with the rent paid for it
support one solitary bed in addition. The
conviction is already widely entertained that
all charity, as such, is a mistake; we will not
undertake to decide this question at present,
but at any rate it is an error to make it fixed,
rigid, and perpetual in its nature. 1t has
been said that by benefcent law of Provi-
dence every theatre is doomed to be burned
down once in seventy years, and it may be
that our endowed charities would do their
work better if their lease of life were short
ened. If the change we have referred to be-
comes inevitable, the governors of hospitals
may adopt the epitaph which, slightly altered
we suggest for their considerations
What we spent that we had,
What we gave that we have
what we saved that we've lost.

DEAR SIR When about to leave your city in
December last, you desired me to communicate
the degree of success I should attain in the use
of your Artificial Arm" 1 now do SO with
pleasure; first, because it is but just that you
should enjoy the benefits which properly ought
to accrue to the exertion of ingenuity SO humane
in its designs and beneficial in its results to the
MANNED; and because the benefit l continue to
enjoy from its use, places me under obligations
to the author of so great boon to man. am free,
therefore, to say in all candor that your Arm is
decided success, and affords me cOnreniences and
comforts quite beyond my most sanguine expec-
tations. l was staff officer in the late Confede-
on Sd April, 1865, and suffered its amputation on
May Sth following. My stump is only two and
. half inches long. Your Arm was attached De-
cember 22d, since which time have worn it every
day, and frequently at night while asleep, with
out the slightest Inconvenience or annoyance.
believe it to be superior to any which have yet
heard of. With its aid l manage easily round
rule in keeping set of books, and the ordinary
silver fork at table. 1t serves to keep my paper
in position while writing, and grasps a watch
with sufficient frmness when winding it up. It
is easily gloved and ungloved. In fine, l enjoy
many uses from it which, to the untutored, would
seem impossible. You are at entire liberty to
use this letter in such manner as you desire.
With much personal goodwill,
remain, truly yours,

A Sign of Progress.

= One ofthe most surprising things in this
age OF wonders is, that the Turks are begin
ming to discuss the question of educating
their females, whom they have always re-
garded as slaves, without minds or souls,
A 1siri<isn Isey visiting london IN q letter
criticised the Turkish ladies of the better
class, as compared with English ladies. A
Turkish lady replied, admitting the truth
of the charge, but laid the blame and the
disgrace entirely upon the Turkish gentle
men. She demands that they give them
books and female schools under competent
female teachers, and then if they do not i'm
prove the opportunities for education, they
may justly accuse them of ''utter vanity and
frivolity," and they will take the blame to
themselves rI. ,4I

wholly beyond my expectations. The limb has
given no pain or trouble in all that time. l walk
with perfect ease and comfort, without cane,
and person not acquainted would not notice

has had no repairs, except little attention given
to it by myself, in twelve years. and it is now in

have just supplied find eyen more perfect in its

to inform you that the trial have now given
your Patent Leg, leaves me no reason to doubt
that It deserves all that has been said in its praise
am convinced that it is the BEST Patent Leg in
the world, and l shall be glad to learn that my
mutilated friends in the South are SO fortunate
as to select this incompatible substitute. My
limb was amputated within two inches of the
knee in consequence of wound received in
battle in front OF Richmond. On the first trial
Of the PALMER LEG, l was able to walk without a
cane, and with the utmost comfort and facility.
shall avail myself of an early opportunity TO
show the limb to Governor ORR, from whom l
had the honor to receive an introduction to you,
and am sure the Governor will gladly recognize
the great superiority OF your benefcent invention
and send others to you for relief
