A oRrTIQUE ON CONSULAR APPOINTMENT
A Bucharest letter In tho ARgssueSne
ZteEung criticises the American system Of
appointing Oonsuls whose salaries are de.
trayed from private sources. The writer
says that in 1866 the Hungarian emi-
grants in New York induced the Wash
ington government TO appoint one Of their
number to q Consular office, they paving
his salary in order 10 avoid charge on
the United States Treasury when the re-
lations between the two countries lus.i-
fed no such outlay. The Hungarians
called this office "our Consul" but when
Hungary and Austria became reconciled
this officer became superfluous, and the
post will probably be abandoned. The
Jews Of New York obtained Mr.. Peixot-
tos appointment, they paying his salary.
An article in Jewish publication in New
York representing him as the only pro-
tector OF the persecuted Jews OF Roumania
has produced much irritation at Buchar-
est. The Roumanian government claims
TO have done all that was possible to pro-
tect and improve the position Of the Jews,
and tho success Of Its efforts is declared to
be manifest in the cessation Of the exodus
OF the Jews and in their steady immigra-
tion to Roumania from Austria and Rus.

Colonel Wilson and the Intelligencer.
In one oiihis speeches last night Colonel
WILSON not only charged the editor oil
this paper (Mr. A. W. CAMPBELE) with
pursuing him in a malicious and vindic-
tive spirit, but broadly insinualed that
GoFF money had influenced our course
toward him in the. present canvass. To
deny this vile insinuation Of q public
demagogue is entirely needless. To the
Colouels charge that we have pursued him
in q malicious and vindictive spirit we On.
ter positive disclaimer An old politician
like Colonel WILSON should know by this
time that when man seeks the suffrsges
OF his fellow.citizsnS for high and re-
sponsible office, he must expect 10 have
his political career looked into. In fulfill.
ing our duty as public journalists we have
freely spread before the people the leading
points OF Col. WILSON'S political record.
That they are now unSavory to him we
doubt not, but for this We are not respon.
sible. 1t Is his record, and not ours. Sin.
csrely believing him to entirely lack the
qualifications necessary for a trustworthy
and capable Representative wo have per.
sistenlly and earnestly opposed his cleo.
tion. 1t Is the solemn and imperative
duty Of a public journalist seeking the
highest veal Of his country 10 point out
the political character and tenets Of men
who aspire 10 make her laws, and this our
duty we have endeavored iearlessly to
perform. Tho unprejudiced men who
witnessed the artiul ..dodging ol Col. BEN
last night need no further proof Of his en-
tire lack Of political conscience. And
this man, when driven to the wall by
Gen. GoFF, dedAntly declared that II the
Richmond Convention were once
more in session, and the Ordi-
nance Of Secession before 1t, he would
again ask to be excused. Fourteen years
have passed, four ot them written in blood,
since that Convention achieved for itself
an immortal iufamy by passing the exc
cradle Act Of Secession. Shall the man
who then lacked sufficient nerve to express
his sentiments on vital question now be
chosen to Congress over the fearless,
patriotic, eloquent General GoFF2 We
predict that the verdict Of the people on
next Tuesday will be that Colonel BEN
WILSON will never again need to ask 10
be excused.

The New York Tribune gives a WELL
authenticated case or cure of hydrophobia.
A Mr.. Burt True, of Flint. Michigan, was
bitten by rabid dog in May, 1871. The ami
NAL left the impress of several teeth in the
center Of his right hand. The wound was
cauterized about twelve hours sfterward. 1t
healed kindly, but in January, 1872, we'll
marked symptoms of hydrophobis devel-
Ioped themselves, and DIR. Axiord was sent
for. The following course of treatment was
pursued: One grain of morphina sulphas
was injected under the skin every four
hours, and half drachm of castor oil was
given per orem, mixed with sirup. The
effect was the alienation ofconvulsions and
repose, when, two days thereafter, Sunday
morning, the patient was wrapped in a
wooden blanket saturated with a warm
solution of muriate of ammonia. Excepi
the occasional inhalation of small quantities
of chloroform, the entire treatment has been
given. Vomiting proved troublesome for
several days, but on Monday the patient be-
came comparatively quiet, and gradually
convalesced from that time. DIR. AFFORD
had treated a similar case with the same re
suit some time previous. During the con-
vulsions the patient would seize the pillows
with his teeth, shake and tear them like an
angry dog, and the strength OF i've men was
required to hold him.
