Tho Habsas eorlas.

The Importance Of this great writ has
been duly acknowledged over since 1879
in the reign Of James IT, Of England, ex-
ccpt in periods of temporary national in
sanity, when il has been trodden nnder
foot Of tyranny One Of those exceptions
is found in the history Of our own country
during the term Of our iatenecinc war,
when, under the plea of 0necessity" it was
stricken down, together with every other
right Of man, as occasion or no occasion
required But, the writ Is again respect
ed, even in the doubtful case Of ne Dis
trict Court in favor Of Hallett Kilbourne,
the recusant witness, in the custody of the
Sergeantat-Arm Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, for contempt in not revealing
the names Of his accompliees in the real
estate ring in Washington. On Monday
last, the House, BY vote Of 165 TO 20,
ordered its Sergeant-at-Arns to obey the
writ, and the person Of Kilbourne was
yielded up to the demand of the Court.
The Republicans, who spnrned the writ,
only short time ago, now assume to be
its special defenders. The New York
World, in speaking of this subject, says
SIT seems that Administration statesmen
think there is at least one emergency in which
the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus
should never be disregarded--to wit, when it
can be employed in behalf of Republican
rogue. AT all other times it is good for moth
ing but to be suspended.
Whatever may be the legal merits Of the
question, there can be but one opinion on the
partisan issues involved. The Democrats
have shown an anxious solicitude for the pre-
seryation of every right of personal liberty,
and a wholesome reverence for the preroga-
tives Of court, even when overshadowed by
suspicion of completely with the greatest set
Of rascals Of our time. Thus they have been
true to the traditions aud the instincts of the
party. The Republicans on the other hand,
after having trampled on the writ of habeas
corpus with open scorn throughout the period
Of their power, now come forward as the
champions of that venerable process, claiming
for il potency and privilege beyond the verge
of anything heretofore asked or conceded, in
the hope Of making it serve to hamper inves-
tgation. The gentlemen who only last win.
ter fought fiercely for the arbitrary suspension
Of the writ in all the Southern States of the
Union, now that it is made use of to prevent
the exposure Of the operations Of the Presi.
dent and his friends in the real-estate pool,
stand up and appeal with touching eloquence
for its sanctity. 1t has become holy thing
in their eyes since !, has been invoked to
shelter knaye. They never appreciated its
virtues until they saw that it might help to
conceal party rascalities But now they are
thrilled with the memories of Stephen Lang
ton and the glories Of Runymede. We know
Of no recent event quite SO entirely perfect
in its kind, as this ineiiable hypocrisy of our
political enemies

Advertising '0agariss.


We notice that many Of our exchanges
are turned into mere handbills, 10 crafty
the whims and ianeies Of advertisers. The
two-colamn advertisement, in large poster
type, is much affected, and very often the
breadth of three aud four columns is oe-
cupied, while some, with still more expan-
sivc ideas, spread their advertisements
clear across the page The cOmeliness of
a newspaper is thus very much married,
and the advertiser not one whit benefited
A neat and welldisplayed advertisement,
10 one column, may as easily be read as
if il extended across the entire pa &c, aud,
to our notion, is much more attractive.
Large, unsightly advertisements, are wor-
rying ID newspaper readers, who throw
down the paper in disgust, declaring it is
no more than common handful. The
value Of any paper, MS an advertising me-
dium, depends upon the degree of favOrit-
ism with which il is regarded by its pa
irons If the paper is popular, aud its
arrival greeted BY the family with pleasure
and delight, every word Of it will be eager
ly read, advertisements and ALL But, if
its beauty be married with big poster type,
and especially if it be badly set up and
badly printed, little or no interest is felt
in it, and it is tossed aside with the con.
temptuOus remark "there is nothing in it
Loud and obtrusive advertisements are
not the things to render newspaper
popular. Not unfrequently they lessen
its circulation, aud advertisers ought to
know this fact, for they defeat tho very
object they have in view, which is to have
their advertisements read by as large a
number of people as possible.

Fine Professions Won't Do.

Mr.. Curtis, in Harper's Weekly, keeps
up his fight on Roscoe Conkling. One Of
his last thrusts in that direction is, that,
Fine professions Of Reform with candi.
dates which are themselves constituent parts
Of the thing reformed, viii not carry the
country
This statement viii apply to nearly all
Of those prominently mentioned for can
didates for President in the Republican
party. Conkling, Morton, Bristow, Blaine,
all have been associated with the Grant
regime, and are more or less responsible
for its scandalous maladministration. Be
sides, all the State conventions 50 far held
have endorsed Grant, and the Republican
party has thus confirmed its responsibility
for Grantism, which according to the rule
Of common sense attached to it fully even
without such endorsement. To undertake
to select reform candidate from the ranks
Of the supporters Of the present Admins
sration, would bes gross an absurdity, that,
we should say, with Mr.. Curtis, such pro-
fessions Of reform twill not carry the
country"

A Specific for HrdrOphobia,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr :
In looking over your paper | saw a case
Of hydrophobia, copied from the Detroit
Free Press. Enclosed / send you two
pills that are certain preventive and cure
for the disease. The pills will prevent any
animal from having the hydrophobia that
does not chew the cud, if taken inside of
nine days after being bitten; or they will
cure the disease if taken between the
spasms in rational moments. One pill is
enough in every case. 1t must be taken
whole and unbroken.
Please send one ofthc pills to the person
that has the disease, and, if he is not dead
it will cure him. Now, this is no humbuc
The recipe has been in my family over a
hundred years, and was never known to
fail in one single instance. lam no quack
doctor, but farmer, and what | tell you
is true. can give you references from
the most respectable men of the State of
Delaware.
The pills are perfectly harmless, and
any one taking them can eat or drink any
thing he chooses and feel safe from hydro
phobia. W. H. TOWNSEND.

President Grant has done one thing
which we cordially approve, he has vetoed
the bill to reduce the Presidents salary
from $4,000 to $4,000. The salary now
paid is not too much, in view Of the ex-
pensive living in Washington and of the
fact that the President has necessarily to
spend a large part of his salary in dispens-
ing public hospitality.

BY the existing laws of New York State
it appears that the Poormasters are paid
certain sum per head for all poor whom
they relieve, and thus it happens that the
more tramps they care for the greater the
profit to themselves. As most Of the
Poormasters are about as worthless men,
bers of society as the tramps themselves, it
is not surprising to learn, as we do from a
report Of the State Aid Charities .Associa-
tion, that they have been encouraging the
tramps to make tours Of the whole State.
10 some instances, il is stated that Poor
masters employed runners on the roads to
guide tramps to the poorhouses. These
are Poormasters indeed, beside whom the
British beadle, with his cry Of "You can't
die ia my parish, is model of official
propriety. Naturally the Charities Asso-
citation has sought remedy for this, and
1t has been presented to the Legislature in
form Of bill making 0verseer Of the Poor
an appointed, not an elective officer with
long term to serve on a fixed salary.
This may not wholly relieve us Of tramps,
but it will go far toward discourasing
them.-N y Tribune.

HoRsE Down WELL--A fine roam

The mare escaped injury by the fall, and
