FREE CIRCULATION OF NEWSPAPERS.
"A writer in the '.Old and New" I'M
doubtedly hits the nail on the head
when he warns the country press that
the recent act of Congress abolishing
the free exchange list and free circulation
of newspapers were published, is not
only blow at them, but at that liberty
of thought and intelligence which is the
life of republican institutions. The
great city papers which aim to control
public opinion are not affected by the
restriction.-It is in fact a discrimina-
tion in their favor. They will not only
supply the reading public more cheaply
but almost exclusively with news. as
we'll as the comments by which that
news is often colored if not misinterpret-
ed. It's for their interest that the
country press should become the mere
chornicle Of its own local gossip. which
nobody cares to read in the next town,
or at best but the echo of some city daily
whose opinion is often kindly telegraph
ed in advance for their guidance. All
this interference of Congress with the
liberty of the country press has done
much to promote. That press showed
its power and Importance in the recent
Presidential contest, when SO many of
the so-called leading papers of the coun-
try undertook to elect as we'll as make
a candidate, and to defeat as well as
denounce the choice of the country.
They should refuse now to accept the
subordinate position to which it is at
tempted to assign them, and demand a
restoration Of the time approved privi-
leges of which not the press only but
the public have been deprived.-Ports-
monty Journal.

SPAIN AND CASTELAR,.

Poor Spain, which has to struggle
with SO many enemies at home and
abroad, has been passing through anoth-
er throe. The Ministry resigned on
Friday last, and Senior CASTELAR,, the
brilliant statesman and orator, was called
upon to assume the reins of government.
He consented to accept Office on certain
conditions, viz that the Cortes take
no recess until all important and press
ing measures are disposed of, and then
that it adjourn, which it should be able
to do about the 1st of December; and
that he be empowered to increase the
army, purchase 100000 rifles, organize
the militia, and impose forced loan or
be furnished means by which he can
obtain 5OO,O0o,OO0 reals to meet the
expenses of the war against the Carlist
and Intransigente insurgents He also
demanded authority to suspend constitu-
tional guarantees and deprive ayuutona-
seatos of the powers they now exercise
when in his judgment such measures
become necessary, and that he should
have absolute powers in dealing with
insurgents. The Cortes unani mously
voted to confer all the powers demanded.
With CASTELAR, at the head of the gov
eminent and the powers of a dictator
conferred upon him by the unanimous
vote of the Cortes, we may look for a
vigorous administration of the affairs of
State, and its vigorous defence against
the enemies of the country. He is a
true patriot, and has the freedom and
the prosperity of the people at heart
If he is sustained by the Cortes and
those whom they represent, new phase
will open on the state of affairs, and
those who are plotting and fighting
against the country must find their field
of action outside of the peninsula The
heartiest wishes of all free nations are
for the establishment of a good, sound,
strong government in Spain, one which
shall not be in the interest of King or
Pope, but of the people. The success
of the Carlists would be the re-enslave-
ment of Spain to Rome, and the success
of the revolutionary insurgents would
be anarchy. CASTELAR, just now seems
to be the hope of Spain. not as an abso
Lutte ruler. but as the head of people
struggling to be free and to perpetuatt
their freedom.

EMBoLIsM. Since the dispatch an
nouncing the death of Napoleon, there
has been a universal enquiry among nom
medical newspaper readers as to the
meaning of embolism," which was stat
ed to be the direct cause of the death of
the ex-emperor. The word is derived
from the Greek word embolus," which
as used in pathological science, means
the formation Of clot, either in the heart
itself or in one of the large blood YES
sells, which operates as plug and pre-
vents the circulation. After this, we
presume, cases of embolism will be as
common as other diseases with less pre-
tentious names, although it is asserted
not to have been, after all, the cause Of
Napoleon's death. Competent physicians
assert that he died from the effects of an
anasthetic, and that the fatal syncope
from which no efforts could arouse him
is what is witnessed by every physician
in cases where patients are influenced b,
anasthetics, only with great difficulty.

rhe Great STORM In MINNESOTA.
TERRIBLE AND FATAL EFFECTS.

TERRIBLE AND FATAL EFFECTS.
The st. Paul Press gives painful de-
tails ON the terrible storm which prevailed
in Minnesota during the first week IN
January, and the consequent large loss
of life. 1t says that while every section
of the State contributes portion OF the
narrowing details, the entire western
frontier of Minnesota sends up return
of dead, missing and manned which
seems more like the carnage of battle
than the result of any connection Of the
elements. The accounts agree in repre-
senting the storm as travelling with re-
markable velocity, and enveloping those
caught in its deadly meshes almost be-
fore they could turn their steps home
ward. The statement is made that sleighs
we're overturned and men Frustrated as
though they we're nothing more than
straws in the path of the gale. The des-
truction of life is greatly attributable to
the suddenness of its appearance and It's
tremendous motion-the degree Of cold
not being as great as in many proceed
ing storms which did not cause 1.-THE Of
the loss of life.
At New Ulm man was found frozen
standing by his barn door. AT Litch-
field there was remarkable change of
the weather. In less than twenty min
utes it changed from warm spring tenn
perature to the worst wintry storm. The
wind blew perfect hurricane, and the
snow filled the air SO that person could
not see more than twenty feet. One
woman living near Alexandria remained
two nights and one day in sleigh, and
was found alive, but so terribly frozen
that death is certain. Her husband and
father, who started with her, were found
near the spot where she was discovered.
A school teacher at Judson, with great
judgement, refused to permit his schol-
airs, thirty or forty children, to leave the
school house, and kept them there forty
eight hours in safety and comfort, pro-
curing food and bedding from a person
living near by. One man saved his life
by remaining in straw stack twenty
four hours.

The VT. DELEGATIoN.-The Vt. del
egation in Congress have made a record
in the halls of the capitol credible indeed
to our State. Senator Edmunds is quite
prominently before the public, and re-
ceives no little attention from the Wash
ington press. Judge Poland's former
experience in the Senate adds much to
his fame and efficiency. Mr.. Morrill, is
shrewd, thoughtful man, of fine intel
ect, and social, pleasing manners. An
accomplished gentleman and tolerant
Christian, free from the ungenerous pref
udices of the age, he ranks above the

stature and comprehensiveness of mind
