Mr. Berghs view of hydrophobia and of the
present dog war was doubtless stated I'D the
lecture by Mr.. tombstone, delivered last
night before the Liberal Club, and else
where reported No doubt his state
ment is literally true that intoxicating
liquors kill more people in New-lork
alone in a month than hydrophobia kills in
the United States in century. Nevertheless
in the present alarmed condition of the pub
lie mind, more interest will attach to the modes
of treatment which he describes.
The Wesleyans, the next to the winners IN
last years college regatta, are the subjects OF
description in letter which we print to-day.
This year they will mako strenuous efforts,
and if mere strength and energy are to decide
the contest, their chances would be excellent;
but with single exception their crew are all
new men, as yet deficient III acquired skill.
While in any case it is much too early TO
prophesy the ultimate result. it may at pres
ent be safely said of the Wesleyans that their
hopes must be largely based upon the improve
ment of which they are evidently susceptible
The removal from Bellevue Hospital OF
patients exposed to puerperal fever was
ordered none too soon. Indeed, with the facts
given in the article in another column before
them, it is a matter of grave doubt whether
the authorities will be warranted in ordering
the return of such patients to the hospital for
a long time to come. Its walls seem thor
oughly permeated with the germs of the dis

a place to cure patients, spreads disease, be-
comes an uncomfortable nuisance instead OF a
noble charity.
The Administration party in Wisconsin Is
suffering from bad nightmare The night
mare is Senator Carpenter. AS they struggle
under the oppressive agony, they turn over
the points of bis career-opposition to Civil
Service Reform; opposition to the repeal or
the Franking Privilege defense of railroad
before one of the Departments, which law
of Congress forbade defense OF Senator Cald-
well defense Of the back pay grab; defense
of Credit Mobiler vote for initiation; OPPOSE
ton to civil rights; Long Branch. What they
| think they can do about 1t, Is clearly told by
thoroughly weIl-informed correspondent,
whose letter is printed this morning on our

The last strike has demonstrated the fact
that among the bricklayers, as in other trades,
there is at least an idle man standing ready
to take the place of every man who
chooses to quit work. Naturally the
men out of work are not in all cases
the best workmen, but there are more
than enough good men to do all the work
now in progress. 1t is the clear right of the
| bricklayers, as of other classes, to continue
their strike as long as they please; but 1t is
a pity to see labOring men throwing away
their money and damaging themselves, in
these hard times, in trying to throttle the
| growth of New-Y York.
Mr.. Sawyer, late Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, is person of great staying" powers.
He hung around the Treasury Department for
several days after the new Secretary came in,
and rather insisted upon being retained, though

that nobody wanted him there And now

When we reflect that the Pope has adhered
with rare determination to his claim to tenn
poral authority. we are astonlshed that any
person. high in authority under the King OF
Italy. should expect to change his purpose.
After all, perhaps the person to whom the
Pope referred in his recent address to the Car
dinals had no such expectation, but merely
hoped to derive advantage from an offer of
reconciliation which was certain to be re-
iected. The German Government, too, is likely
to profit by this proceeding; it has pretext
for continuing the contest with the clergy OF
the empire because the Pope has exhorted the
clergy of Italy to pursue the same course OF
opposition in ostentatously refusing formal
offer for compromise.
The Illinois Republican resolutions, as re-
ported from the Committee contained the
words: eve are opposed to any increase in
"the amount of legal-tender notes, and favor

Increased" The majority in favor of strik-
