LIVING WITH BULLET IN MS HEAD.
Mr.. Carruth. the Vineland editor
who was shot through the head by
Mr.. Landis, about two months since
still lives, and his case is remarkable
in the annals of surgery. The N. Y.
Herald says; Ills homeopathic doc.
tors, who were called in the case 10
the exclusion Of one of the most
celebrated surgeons Of Phila. have
given him but one medicine from the
beginning. They have administered
arnica internally with the view TO
prevent inflammation, and have not
yet attempted any surgical opera
ton. Tho orifice Of tho wound is in
fact contracted, and the use OF the
probe is considered injudicious.
The ball is supposed to have lodged
near the eye, upon the skull, and
should it become encysted there is
hope that the patient may recover.
That he still lives and is conscious
is either a marvel of nature or tri-
umph Of medical skill.
Since the above was written, Mr..
G, has still more improved and Mr..
Lands has been released on bail.

DENocRAcY has been tried and
found wanting. II once stood before
the people as party Of honor and
justice. But it turned its back on
freedom, prosecuted its champ ms
and became the mere tool of the
slave power. Il fid ,lity to principle,
brought CORFU ton into its admins.
tration, When the Nation rose in
1861, to cast it ont from its high
Office Of governmental control, it was
not tho political freak of an hour,
bu. the resolve of a people that had
no further use for a party that had
betrayed its trust. Its fall was the
death blow OF the power which sus.
tanned it. The grave OF Slavery
should have been the grave of De,
mocracy.
Asa political power it should have
been banished from the field OF
American politics. But the power
Of evil oftentimes outlives the insti.
tutions which generated IL. Slavery
10 dead, but its ripened fruit corrupt
Democracy, still lives to exert its
baneful influence on the destiny Of 4
nation. To resist the spread Of its
political poison, requires fidelity,
watchfulness, energy and thorough
organization on the part OF those who
love their country, and desire its
government 10 remain in the loyal
hands Of those who saved IL from
the deadly attack Of Democracy and
Slavery.

Is5- Senator Morton delivered a
speech at Greencastle, Indiana, on
Decoration Day,which contained this
noteworthy sentiment and promise
"While We have buried the animosi.
ties OF the war while We have for
given all the participators of tho re-
bellion, for none have been punish.
ed, and all but about one hundred
have been eligible to hold the highest
offices in the land yet, it does not
follow that we are to honor them CT
bestow upon them rewards. For
giveness is divine, but that does not
necessarily carry with it honor and
reward. I have never thought
should do such a thing, but | believe
now that am wiling to vote for q
bill next winter doing away and re.
lieving the last disability growing
out of the rebellion, to take effect on
the 4th Of July next. So that all
men, all races aud colors, without re
gard to previous condition Of servi.
tude or OF arms, shall begin the next
century on an equality before the
law. Applause. And may God
put in the hearts of the people every
where, North and South, to cccept in
all its fullness and ex tent, tho new
birth of the nation, to administer JUS
tice, humanity and charity, and to
exercise to each and to all those

JAMES =. BARR, editor of tho Pitts
burg Post, and Democratic candidate
for Governor, was sued by Moore,
the Chairman Of the Democratic com
mittee of Allegheny county, in 1873,
for asserting that Moore had sold
ont the party on that occasion. The
following from the Pittsburg Ecen.
ing Telegraph Of Saturday, tells the
result:
The arguments in the Moore ost
libel suit were concluded shortly af-
ter two o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when his Honor Judge Storrett,
proceeded to charge the jury. After
defining the difference between sian
der and libel, and privileged commu.
nications, he said, Accordingly we
are asked in this case to say that the
article complained of is libelous and
we instruct you as matter of law
that it is. 1t cannot be regarded as
a privileged communication it's pub
lication has not been justified or ex-
cused, and We are Of opinion, and sc
instruct you, that it is libelous and
actionable, and that your verdict
should be in favor OF the plaintiff
The amount which he is entitled to
receive is a matter wholly for your
determination, under the evidenc.
before you.
The jury retired, and on the open
ing of the Court this morning, cam,
in with a verdict for the plaintiff fol
$4,000.
The verdict was agreed upon las
evening, and on being opened thil
morning it was found to be irregular
The verdict awarded the plaintiff
$4,000 damages, and the jury as
sessed Mr.. Barr, $4,000, and divid
ed the remainder up among the othe
defendants. The Court instructe,
the jury that this verdict was not re
gular, and that they must retir
again and bring in O verdict agains
all of the defendants, without assess
ing any special amount on any on
or more OF them. The jury agai
retired and five minutes later return
ed with q verdict Of $4,000. A ver
dict in 30 large an amount was nc
: expected and occasioned much SUI

cured and order from the Court OF
Appeals for the release of their client

on the ground that the particulariza-

rant number OF sentences that
there was but one offence, and, a.
the period Of imprisonment awarded
to it has already expired, tue addi-
tional terms imposed by Judge Da'
Wis are without warrant OF law. II

twice rob the city OF New York, but
that his was one great and continu-
Gus robbery, and according to the
marvellous equity of the law less
heinous than would have been two

II is expected that he will be imme-
diately rearrested, this time in the
civil suit which the city now brings
against his estate, and il he cannot
furnish several millions bail he will
not escape yet for a season from
durance vile. Tweed may yet be
power in New York politics. Hys.
