HYDROPHOBIA AGAIN.

The report of new case OF supposed
hydrOphobia now under treatment at Bellevue
Hospital will doubtless intensity the popular
interest in the subject, although there Is YET
abundant room for doubt whether this is case
of true rabies, the symptoms being rather in
dicative of fright than disease. 1t need, how
ever. add nothing to the fears of the timid
who dread the vagrant dog of the sidewalk.
since in this case, as in all Its predeces-
sors this year, the animal had home
and an owner. There is another feature
which, strange to say, is common to all these
cases; in no one of them is there any con-
elusive evidence that the dog was mad; and
in tho case of Mccormick, from the statement
we present this morning, it clearly appears
that the dog was and is perfectly healthy.
Il now is shown that the original
statement that tho dog was taken to the
pound was mistake; the animal has re-
NAMED in the interval in charge of its owner !;
md the testimony of our reporter and OF the
medical expert who accompanied him in ex-
aiming the dog is conclusive as to its con-
dition However contrary to established no
tons respecting hydrophobia these facts APP
near. it cannot be questioned that they must
form an important feature hereafter Id Its
consideration.
Bnt the interest Of the Mccormick case is
still further and very greatly increased by the
additional results of DR.. HammOnd's post
mortem investigations, which we publish to-
day with diagram. 1t is only the science OF
very recent years that is capable OF con-
Quoting the delicate manipulations and re-
searches with the microscope That are requisite
to throw light upon changes in the structure
of the nerves and brain. The present exam
ination has clearly developed the fact that the
medulla oblongata is the seat of serious LESSONS
in hydrOphobia, and. the most important OF
these LESSONS are found near the origin OF the
pneumogastric and spinal accessory nerves.
In its ultimate stages, therefore, bydropho-
bia is a form of brain disease; and this
knowledge must set at rest forever the
methods of alleged cure by charlatans who
talk of saving the patient even in his ex-
tremity by some methed of treatment applied
to the wound or the surface of the body.
An acquaintance with the intrinsic character
of malady is the first hopeful step toward
its treatment. The eminent success which has
of late attended practice in cases of diseases
of the nerves and brain has chiefly been
founded upon such knowledge. The alarming
rapidity with which hydrophobia, fully
developed, proceeds to its fatal termination,
certainly constitutes difficult feature in the
management of the disease; but we may yet
hope. now that something definite is known
az to its seat aud character, that prompt man
agement and vigorous remedies may bring it
under control

Personal GOVERNMENT.

II will be strange if, out of the recent trans
actions in NewYork and Washington, We do
not learn needed lesson as to tie character
of our government. 1t has always been q
popular belief in the United States, nOurished
by three quarters of century of Fourth of
July rhetoric. that here alone of all countries
in the world the will of the people is the su-
preme law, while Presidents, Governors, Mayors,
and other executive functionaries are merely
the agents selected by vote to carry out the
wishes of the multitude. We have been wont
to look down with pity from the serene eleva-
ton of our superior political institutions upon
benighted lands where the despotism of q
One Man Power holds industrious millions in
slavery, and taxes them without mercy for the
benefit of favored individuals. We have
pointed with eomplacency to the spectacle of
q whole population quietly recording its de-
crees at the ballot-box, and system OF
administration so beautifully divided into
executive, and judicial branches
that every wrong has its speedy remedy and
every right an ample guarantee. And so we
have called ourselves the freest people on
earth. yr..
But the truth seems to be that no constitu-
tional government whatever intrusts such ex-
traordnary power to single individual as
We commit to certain executive officers.

THE MONARCHISTS At VERSAILLES.

1t is premature to assigE any decisive i'm
portance to the action of the Committee of
Thirty of the French Assembly on Monday
last This body resolved by vote of IS
against to reject the constitutional scheme of
NJ. Casimir- Perier, which was referred to them
two weeks ago by q small majority of the
Chamber. The essential portions of this plan,
as our readers will remember, are those which
instruct the Committee to be guided in their
constitutional labors by NJ. DufauIe's bill of
last year, constituting the Republic definitely,
with two. Chambers and an executive chief
with the title of President; the full recognition
of the law establishing the Septennat with
Marshal MacMahon; and the adoption of the
provisions of the Constitution of 1S4S in regard
to amendments or revisiOns of the Constitution.
This scheme was referred to them by vote
comprising nearly all of the Left with enough
from the Right Center to give majority
reported as four, but reduced by notifications
to one.
There was some premature rejoicing over
the former vote, but it was not reasonably
to be expected that the Committee of Thirty
would carry out the instructions of that for
tuitous majority. Out of the Thirty, % are
Monarchists, and in this vote of the 10Th of
June, 20 of them voted with the minority
against the reference, and they found them
selves in the irreproachable company of four
of the ministry in opposing the consolidation
of the existing government. If the Assembly
ever come seriously to consider tho necessity
of the organization either of the Republic or
the Septennat, they will probably begin by
dissolvng the Committee of Thirty, even if
they have not the nerve to face their own dis
solution. 1t is simply derisory to refer any
plan of organization to this body of monarch
lists, who are pledged by their engagements,
their preudices, even by their honor and con-
science, to take no steps which shall preclude
the future possible monarch of France from
coming to his kingdom in his own good time.
construct constitutional scheme of their
own, and for this purpose they have appointed
three of their number as Commissioners, NJ
Ventavon and Count Daru, well-knOwn Mon
archists, and NJ Charles de Lacombe, who is
pronounced Conservative. All this seems
absurd enough after the vote of the 18th. but
there is evidently no very sharp sense of in
congruity in an Assembly which is not sur
prised at seeing the Duke dc Ia Rochefou-
cauld-BisaccIa leaving his post as ambassador
at London to present resolution in favor of
the establishment of the monarchy and the
suDversion of the Government which he
represents in England. f5 l..la... y

THE TRIBUNE yesterday spoke of the late Marshal
Concha as Marquis of Havana, which may have
puzzled some of our readers who know that the
Captain General of Cuba has that title. In fact.
both brothers were Marquis of Havana, though the
elder was in bis later years called oftener by his
newer title of Marquis of Duero Nowhere in the
world are titles so little thought of as in Spain.
probably because they are so easily gained. An En-
glish peer is never mentioned but by his title. The
Duke of Wellington was never called General
Wellesley after he became Duke; but Marshal Prim
was scarcely ever called Marquis OF Castillejos to
the day of his death. Every one has heard Of
ODonnell, but few know who is the Duke OF
Tetuan; and Serrano is infinitely more famous
name than the Duke de la Tore In France, also.
titles are little used socialy it is only tradesmen
and toadies who continually saying " Monsieur
lie Comten and Monsieur 10 Baron" A reason for
this may be that in England the title has still i'm
portant and valuable privileges attached to it, while
in other parts of Europe it is chiefly useful to enable
its wearers to marry an American girl-which, after
all, is privilege.

Mr. Fl. R. Hawes, the English clergyman, in re-
cent sermon told an entertaining story of well
dressed, unhappy sort of gentleman who habitually
calls upon young ministers to talk about his re-
lglous difficulties. In mournful tones he first in
quires whether he ought to pray in spiritual diff
culties, and having that question answered salts
factorily he makes the same inquiry as to temporal
difficulties. 1t then appears that these last are en-
comprising him in very painful manner, and that,
having prayed persstently without effect, he Is on
the verge of total skeptcism. Young minister, of
course rushes to the rescue with pleasant sum,
and the sad sad victim of temporal difficulties goes
gratefully weeping to the nearest other young
clergyman until his little income is acquired. Mr.

man at the house of brother in the church, and

for he bounced desperately to the door and was seen
