The views of the Holy Land which will
be shown at Meonian Hall in this city, this
evening, come to the city endorsed by clergy
men and others who have travelled in the
places represented, and who are therefore
well able to judge Of its merits. We have no
doubt that the entertainment is really very
fine ,one. The representation OF scenes
around the Jordan, views of Nazareth. Beth
lehem, Jerusalem, &c, are highly interesting,
giving the beholder an idea of these places,
such as they could CLEAN in no other way,
excepting by actually visiting Palestine. In
the afternoon at four o'clock, matinee will
be given for the benefit of the school children.
The exhibition will also be repeated on Sat
urday evening.

THE FOREIGN NEWS arc not import
ant except that the Prince of Wales is
lying at the point of death with typhoid
fever. Excitement, trouble, and per-
haps an outbreak would result upon
his death. Tho health OF his mother,
the Queen, is very precarious. The
Prince, If living, would of course be
the successor Of his mother in the event
of her death, unless prevented by revo.
luton, and in case of the death of both,
the son of the Prince would be the heir
to the throne. The latter is yet in
swaddling clothes and the nation would
therefore have to be governed many
years by regent or regency.
The people of Brussels have compel.
ed the King of Belgium to remove an
obnoxious Governor appointed over
them.
Russia is largely increasing her army,
for the supposed purpose OF compelling
Prussia to keep the peace.
The King of Italy has finally fully
established his capital at Rome. 1t is
announced that the Pope will not leave
Rome, as it was said he would If the
King took possession of that city as his
capital.

HydrOpllObia.

WE have often invited the Faculty to

which cases of nervous disease are ac-
counted for by ancient dog bites, five,
six,seven, or even twenty years old. Nay,
it may be doubted whether recent bites

late the conventional symptoms of
hydrophobla; and it is well worth in
vestigation whether the Imagination is
not the seat of the disease, in most cases.
In New York, Il case of hydrophobia
was lately reported as consequen on a
bite from man! In the same city a
case has accurred of which the Courier
des EtatS UniS gave an account. A lady
was bitten by a squirrel. On the next day
she displayed every symptom of hydro.
phobia in its most violent form. The
inability to swallow liquids, the parox-
ysms of fury were all present. Happily,
however, on the third day all the symp.
toms yielded to medical treatment, and
the lady recovered. This case is remark.
able; first, because there is no dog in il;
second, because the symptoms followed
the bite Immediately; and third, be-.
cause the patient promptly found relief,
in treatment that is not stated with
sufficient particularly to be worth re-.
peating. But the case, as well as the
whole subject, is worthy fthe attention
of men of science, who ought to rescue
hydrophobia from the domain of super.
stition, in which this disease is public
terror and constant alarm, when, in
truth, a well authenticated case of it
rarely ifever occurs. Age

thrown into confusion when four of its
members are charged with fraud, with
the publication Of evidence that fraud
has been committed, though there is 40

Not by the President or the Governor
for that would be placing the liberty of
the citizens at the mercy Of the very
executive authority against the wrong
full exercise of which it is created as q
protection; but by Congress or the Leg
islature. They are the sole judges
whether the public safety requires its
suspension, 1t is a power that they
may exercise, but they cannot delegate
It. In that, the Ku Klux law delegates
to the President not only the power to
suspend habeas corpus, but to determ.
inc the necessity for 1t, 1t is plain and
palpable violation of both the spirit
and letter of the Constitution, and un-
authoritative, null and void.
Well, right in the face and eyes of all
this history, and all these facts, Ulysses
S. Grant, President of the United States,
has done what no king, what no queen,
what no regent of England, has dared
to do for two hundred years. In viola.
ton of the Constitution, and in viola.
ton Of all law, he has suspended the
writ of haboas corpus in nine counties
Of South Carolina, and, by one stroke of
his pen, he has deprived population
larger than inhabits all that great part
of the State of Maine which lies east of
the Penobscot river, Of all the guaran-
ties and protection of law. lie has
given over nearly two hundred thous-
and people, men women and children,
to the unrestrained license of brutal
soldiery, Of thieves, of plunderers and
robbers.
Already the telegraph begins to tell
the tale Of suffering, misery and distress
that prevail throughout those afflicted
counties. Innocent men, by scores and
by hundreds, have already been seized
and flung into prisons and dungeons
and compelled to herd with loathsome
negroes imprisoned for murder, robbery
and theft. All business is suspended !;
crops are left unharvested property is
given over to negro and carpetbag pill
lage, and citizens are fleeing into adj
joining States by thousands, to escape
the walls of prisons from which there
is no hope of deliverance.
And When and ichere is this thing to
end? Is it to stop with nine counties in
South Carolina? Or is it TO pursue
those fleeing citizens wherever they
have gone, and the limits within which
habeas corpus is suspended, shall em.
brace sixteen States, and the whole
South be once more declared in iasur.

WHY tbe "ycw peparture. Failed.

The Louisville Jegersonidn Democrat
says it is not very satisfactory answer
TO this question to say, because it met
with too much opposition from old-line
Democrats. 1t had at first q ute an ap-
parent success in Democratic conven'
tions. Many influential Democrats
gave it credit, and for a time opposition
to it in the party seemed feeble. Still
it did not flourish. This journal and
others said: "If argument will not con.
vince you of its impolicy, wait till the
fall elections come off," Toanswer the
question with the reason, and not with
the fact, it will be necessary to PROFOUND
and answer another question: Why
was there an attempt at a new depart
ure? We answer: The Democratic
party is divided into two wings; one
is for rugged issue of republican gov
ernment for the States and federal un-
ion between them, and the other is in
favor of national government orer the
States, administered conservatively.
The new departure was an endeavor of
the Conservative Consolidationists in
the party to commit it to an acceptance
Of the "New Nation" The New De-
partureites pledged themselves to &C.
cept and administer it faithfully but
conservatively.
Old-line Democrats opposed this
movement for two reasons: First, it
was an apostacy, and they were not
ready to abandon the States-union prin-
ciple; second, it was impolitic, provld.
ing no remedy for the evils afflicting
the country and inadequate as a means
of proselyting Republicans. 1t failed,
therefore, in both its undertakings. 1t
could carry neither the party nor the
country. If the proposers of it had
put it out as basis of union between
themselves and the Conservative Con-
solidationists of the Radical party,
such as Chase, Greeley and Schurz, and
not attempted to carry the Democratic
organization with them, we see no rea-
son why they should not have been
successful in forming third party of
respectable numbers.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1871-12-01

THE smal.fry Radical journals are
jubilantly quoting the London Times
in support of the denomination and
election of Grant. That is characteristic
and right. The Times is the inveterate
hater of the United States and her in
stitutions; and cannot fail to be pleased
with his despotic course towards the
South, as well as Grants foreign policy,
which has suited England exactly. The
British government has found in the
present Administration convenient
tool for carrying out English designs,
and therefore the Times is anxious for
its contlnuance.-Lancaster LnteNigen.

A DEBT of Fifty Millions oppresses
the municipality of Philadelphia. This
burden is far heavier to the people Of
that city than the indebtedness of New
York city is to its taxpayers. Nor have
the Philadelphians the magnificent
public Improvements to compensate
them for the immense interest paid by
them annually on their debt, of which
the New Workers may justly boast.
They have only the doubtful satisfac.
tion of knowing that the millions of in
debtedness piled upon their shoulders
has been created merely to fill the pock-
cts Of favorite thieves whom they de-
light annually to place in public office.
The Bunns, the Marcers and the Manns
are the only monuments of the OPEN
handed generosity of Philadelphia tax
payers. AT last, however, some of the
Rip Van Wrinkles of the drowsy old
town are waking from their prolonged
slumber. A Reform Association has
been organized, which is about to un.
dertake an investigation of the man
agement of the financial affairs of the
city. Already defalcation on the part
ofthe City Treasurer, Joseph F. Marcer,
has been discovered, by which the city
will lose one third of a million of dol
lars. Marcer has been indicted and ar
rested, and similar proceedings have
been instituted against his banker,
Yerkes. Great excitement prevails in
the city in reference to these cases, and
the Pharisees who have been pointing
the finger of scorn at New York, have
little to say, just now, about Tammany,
while even the complscent souls who
have hitherto pretended to imagine
that Philadelphia loilty could do no
wrong, for once startled from their
equanimity, rub their eyes and affected
ly wonder what all the trouble can
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1871-12-01

HAD the Reform Democrats of New
York chosen to initiate the example OF
their Radical adversarles, and buried
their opposition to the dishonesty of
Tammany, and coalesced with it, the
Radical ticket would have been largely
defeated. But despising thievery as
much in those who profess Democracy
as those who oppose it, they chose rath-
er to risk defeat than countenance an d
abet fraud and corruption. This is the
simple story of the New York election,
and vindicates every claim to honesty
set up by the Democratic organization.
