HYDROPHonra.

There IS no other disease TO Whlch
man is liable, about which less is known
than hydrophobia by the medical pro-
fession. So far as statistics have been
collected ON the subject, they go to
prove that not over one person in twen-
ty bitten by a rabid dog or cat ever has
the disease at all. Nothing like this
remarkable immunity ia witnessed
when one is bitten by a poisonous snake,
or other animal armed by nature for
defense or attack, as the sting Of bees
and bite of spiders. The logical infer
enee from the facts known seems to be
that both dogs and persons may die of
rabies, and either never develop the
virus, or it soon loses its power as
fatal and obscure poison.
How else shall we explain the fact
that so many escape where all are inoc-
ulated by the same sick animal, with
the same virus, and on the same day?
But if one in ten or twenty is killed
by the eontagion, whatever it may be,
can we say there is no contagion though
ninety mine in one hundred should es-
cape every trace Of the malady? The
known exemption of many bitten by
rabid dogs opens wide and lucrative
practice for quacks with their mad
stones (so-called) 70 extract poison
FROM wounds, or TO apply other RENE
dies, and obtain full credit for cures
that were never made.
1t is believed by many who have
studied hydrophobia that no well au-
thenticated case can be found where
true rabies was ever cured; and the
disease is probably not less fatal to
animals than to man. How does the
virus originate in the first instance;
and what is it? Let learned physi-
ologist or chemist attempt to answer
the above simple questions and he viii
soon discover that science fails to throw
any light on the subject. A dog bitten
and poisoned by reptile cannot i'm
part snake virus to another dog by
biting him. The poison is not con-
tagious. Unlike rabid dog the snake
is not diseased. Beware of all dogs.
In them, nature in some unknown
way, develops a mysterious poison
which may spread as contagion; as
when sick dog ticks the sore or wound
of his master, and inoculates his sys-
TEN with virus of canine madness. 1t
is one of the greatest mistakes IN our
struggling civilization to keep and pet
so many worthless dogs, not knowing
how soon they may become diseased,
bite our children or others and do inf
mite harm.

WHERE THE SHOE pINCHEs

The Kentuckian has the credit of
being the Yankee of the South. Ger
tain it is that they are among the most
thrifty of the populations south of the
Ohio. By some means they got through
the war without any great damage
have escaped Radical rule, and are, to-
day, without a State debt. Meanwhile
they receive their share of the British
gold paid for Southern cotton, by
raising grain, hogs and mules for the
South. Taken all in all, they are a
shrewd people. Hence their views de-
serve consideration. We append 4 set
of resolutions recently adopted by the
Democratic Congressional Convention
for the Frankfort District:
Resolved, That the present tariff is
the chief cause of the depression ex-
isting in the agricultural portions of
the country. Its effect is to enrich the
manufacturer and impoverish the farm
er and planter. 1t is a source Of rev.
enue to the East, while it is an onerous
burden upon the South and West.
The latter are not only taxed beyond
precedent in our history to sustain the
Government, but also for the benefit of
mOnopoies Of the East.
Resolved, That the true interest of
the South and West demands free
trade, or at least that so much of the
tariff as imposes 4 duty upon articles
manufactured or grown II this country
should be repealed.
Resolved, That the theory of 4 rev.
enue tariff is delusion and 4 snare,
for it Will ever be manipulated in the
interest of protection and monopoly.

MrNICIPAL TAXATION.

The NelC York Bulletin remarks:
''The Memphis and Chicago papers
have grown to immense size lately by
the publication of the list Of delinquent
taxpayers. One would think that
there was going to be general clear
ing-out sale of these cities. If the list
of private mortgages was also made
public, we fear the effect would pos
itively be still more lugubrious. Be-
hind this is the fact that our municipal
governments, as a rule, are running
too rapidly into debt. The fact is being
made use Of abroad as sort of offset
to the immense warhke preparations
and budgets of European States, with
the bankruptcy which must sooner or
later follow in their train. There is
such a thing as pushing municipal tax
ton to a point that will kill the goose
that lays the golden eggs-and % that
point Memphis, New Orleans and
Charleston, if not Chicago, appear to
be rapidly approaching"

SOME circles in New York seem des-
perately anxious to prove the new cur
rency bill a contraction measure. Ger
tainly it is difficult to say what it may
become under the rulings of the Treas
ury. 1t seems settled, however, that
several banks of New York city have
determined to retire their circulation,
and realize on the Government bonds
at the present high prices. Two such
banks, aggregating a circulation of
Sl,50O,O00, have already taken this
course. So much for the abolition of
redemption cities. But it is limited
from Washington that these banks can
take back their circulation ut any time
they wish. Here is nice chance for
speculation in the national credit
They retire their notes now and sell the
bonds at high figures. Others do like
wise till the market is glutted and Gov
eminent bonds decline a few cents.
Then they buy back the bonds, and re-
claim their circulation from the Comp
troller of the Currency.
Nor is this the worst. Under this
new system the Eastern banks can con-
tract or expand the currency at their
will. 1t is another Illustration of the
folly of Radical legislation on the
finances.

JAMES T. BELL, one of the oldest

recently connected with the UNION

as the Democratic and Conservative
candidate for County Court Clerk Of

deserved; no better man could have
been selected, and we must say that,
complimentary as the nomination may
be to him, it does equal credit to the
good sense of the people who bestowed
It. Mr.. Bell is well qualified for the

everywhere, and we hope he will be
elected.-ManchcSter Democrat.

The NeiC York tHdRcler says OF the

The "re-districting" scheme in the
bill is folly now, rs it always was. Cap
italists who wish to organize banks IN
the South and West must buy bonds
in the East, at about ll5, for which,
when duly deposited. they will receive
80 per cent. of their face IN circulating
notes; this will require about $4,000
900 of currency paid to the East in or
der to get the new SIS 100000, the I'M
mediate result being to transfer money
from the needy" and debtor sec
tions to the greedy" and ''creditor"
ones. And Of course the ''Te-distribu-
ted currency, which, to complete the
absurdity of the whole scheme, is prob
ably circulating in the West and South
rather than in the East, will not stay
for a single hour in the equal adjust
ment which the bill proposes. Further,
no good would accrue to the poorer
sections if the banks there were stuffed
full Of paper money, for that is not
wealth; it is useless to point this fact
out, however. to a body of politicians
who came together with the idea that
! paper is wealth and have not learned
better after seven months of talk.

THE notion of the Brussels Congress
to remodel, modernize and codify In
ternational law, is an excellent one, if
done impartially. When first mOOted,
we remarked that the present is an In
opportune time for hopeful results.
All the western powers of Europe are
PROSTATE, while England and Austria
can barely hold their own, leaving
Russia and Prussia free and able to
make Eastern interests predominant in
the adjustment. The debate of the
British Lords published yesterday in
dictates that they fully appreciate the
disadvantage at WHICH they are placed
in this ostensibly benevolent and most
desirable work.

The new law makes important
changes in regard to postage. From
the LIST of Jan. 1875, the postage on
newspapers Will be prepaid by the pub
fishers at the rate of two cents per
pound. Subscribers will, after Jan. 1,
be subject to no postage. Papers will
be delivered free in counties where pub
hshed. Under this regulation weekly
papers will be within a fraction of 10
cents per annum, and dailies go cents
per annum, against 20 and 100 cents
under the present law. This new law
will force all publishers to adopt the
advance system of payment. They
cannot afford to furnish the paper on
credit and, at the same time, advance
