An Unprecedented Surgical Opera
ton.

Gen. Fitzpatrick, our late Minister to
Chilli, was obliged to resign his position
and return home on account of declining
health. The disease seemed to be a
swelling on the left side of the lower part
of the neck. 1t made its first appearance
about two years ago and was undoubtedly
aggravated by much speaking in the Pre-
sidential campaign then pending. 1t was
induced by over excitement in the army.
Without receiving any permanent aid the
General returned to Chill. The forma-
ton in the throat increased. The most
skilful medical men in that country were
bafHed in their efforts to master the diff
Guilty. They drugged the General nearly
to death. They could not decide what it
was.
The General returned to the United
States about ten days ago, and stopped at
the A-tor House With his family. His
first business was to consult some of our
most skilful physicians. DR.. L. f. Sass
aud his associate, Dr. r. P. Lincoln, were
called in. The latter made 4 careful ex-
animation Of the General, and decided
that he formation VS. an erectile tumor.
Without making known the result of his

testimony of near relatives, and, for a
time the jury were utterly bewildered by
the strange confusion of stories. Cumu-
lative evidence, however, was IN favor
of the Haseman identification. Hoas-
mans wife swore that his name found
written in indellible ink upon some OF
the dead mans Undertaking, was in her
handwriting, and DIR. Ellis, examining
once more, found that the deceased had
dental cavity corresponding exactly
with tooth lost by his former insa ne
patient In his charge to the jury, the
coroner gave unhesitating credit to all
the witnesses for perfect sincerity, and
could not discern that there would be any
benefit to any one of them in legal veri-
fcation of his or her identifying testi-
mony; but it was evident that some OF
them must be mistaken. and the strongest
circumstantial evidence was with DIR.
Ellis and the Heasman's. The jury
agreed with him and gave verdict accor-
dingly yet, as may be seen, it was pos
sible that the dead body should have been
some man not once named at the inquest
The case was new illustration of the
grim saying that dead men tell no tales.

after dying nearly to the ground, have
started up, blossomed, and now bear 3
second crop of "green peas" The same
is true of tomato vines. We noticed
several days ago pear tree which was
then in blossom second time. In the
garden of Mr.. Marchisi, on Blandini
street, strawberry vines are in blossom.
At the county Jail at Rome black rasp-
berries of the second growth were exhib-
tied. As will be remembered, a swarm OF
bees was found making comb and honey
on the naked branch of tree, near Rome
a short time since. Evidently Nature
has lost her almanac and is going right
on with another summer. Before this
time last year, several snow storms had
passed over.

THE BURDEN RAILRoAD.-The cor
respondent of the Bennington Free Press
writes as follows from Montpelier in re-
gard to the Burden railroad
Mr.. Horrobin has, true to his word,
started the ball rolling. One of the most
serious drawbacks last year was the late
hour at which the bill was entered, there
fore it only passed the House. Mr.. Park
and his friends are not on hand as yet,
and the people don't seem to think that
he will fight the road at this point, but
try and get the Troy and Boston railroad
into Vanderbilt's hands, 'least-ways" they
seem to think there will be no opposition,
and if this is the case, it may go to the
Governor in week or two. These are
only rumors, and it would not be a sur
prise, at least to q few, if it should meet
with the most desperate opposition,
though it seems improbable that this will
be the case. Next week tells the story.

Servants and Ladies'.

Freedom and Equality we under
stand to be the excellent motto of our
Green Mountain State. 1t il expressive,
in literal sense. In it we comprehend
all the blessings and advantages of social
communion, of equal rights, of free and
untrammeled speech and action. Now.
we do not propose to pronounce an Gu
logy upon our native land, founding our
speech upon the above motto, but to de-
duce from the above subject, merely the
social equality existing between a servant
and lady. We recently overheard the
remark, lean servant be a servant and
a lady," made by an educated gentleman,
and being of a meditative turn of mind,
we kept repeating the question until
convinced of the possibility
of the fact, we resolved to give our views
on the strange question to the light.
Our lamented A. Ward tells us "a lady
Is female, feminine gender and positive
case" Our maidservants enjoy the same
blessings. Our ladies are supposed to do
the smallest amount of useful work, spend
the greatest amount on frivolous fashion,
to set the example in all kinds of indul-
gence that idleness invents through life,
while the maidservants wash and stew.

eral argues that Government employees
should receive at least as much pay for
competency and integrity as they would
command in private business.
There is likely to be much delay, if
not serious difficulty, in carrying out the
provisions of the act of the last session of
Congress in regard to the transportation
of goods in bond to Western cities. The
title of common carrier, as construed by
the Secretary of the Treasury, has not
thus far been sought, as no railroad,
steamboat or express company has applied
to the Secretary for an appointment as
bonded carriers of merchandise to be
consigned to interior destinations. Sec

requirement also meets with serious op-
position, as the Government selects the
locks and contractors pay for them.

The Next Congress

The Democratic papers have been COZ
graduating themselves and their party %
w. elections of last week, ana nave
aI.ined that the result is an lnolca''oh
that the next national House OF repre-
s ,mD will be controlled by the op-
nosition to the administration of Gen.
Grant.
Tbe fact is, as any reasonable person
must admit, that the Democrats have not
the least shadow of chance OF being IN
majority in that body. The House Of Re
nresentatives, when full, as it undoubted-
" will be in the next Congress, consists of
some over two hundred and forty mem
bers. In the present House the Repub-
lioens have a majority of eighty-three.
Elections were held last week in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska,
having sixty one members, nearly one
quarter of the House. In the present
House the delegations stand as follows

The ENGLIsH MIssION.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston T}a-
geiler gives what be calls the four reasons
of the administration for the recall Of
Minister Motley from England. The
first is that Mr.. Motley did not obey in
structions, but undertook to run the mis-
sion according to his own ideas; the
second, that Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. Motley's
next friend, opposed the San Domingo
treaty after he had given the president
reason to think that he would 90 for it :;
the third, that Mr.. Motley refused to ap-
point Hamilton Fish, jr., as his secretary
of legation, at the presidents request ;
and the fourth, that he conducted him
self 80 uninterestedly, and talked so free
ly about English politics that he dis
gusted prominent English statesmen
whom it was desirable to conoiliate. The
only reason here given which has the
merit Of freshness is that relating to the
appointment of Hamilton Fish, ir., as
secretary of legation, and whether this or
any other of the statements made have
the semi official authority that "Scott"
claims for them may we | be doubted.
