A Boston Woman Dies of Hydropho-
bia.

The case of Mrs. Elizabeth Webber,
of IA Getting street, whose death by
hydrOphobia occurred on Tuesday night
at the city hospital, proves of much in
terest to medical men. Mrs. Weber
was bitten by her own dog on the 31st
of July, the animal having previously
bitten six persons who had worried it,
all but one of whom had their wounds
cauterized Immediately. Mrs. Webber's
wound was through the nail of the sec
ond finger of the right hand, and she
delayed three hours before going to the
Massachusetts Hospital, where the at
PENDANTS informed her that cauteriza-
ton would then be useless. She thought
little more about it, though as pre-
caution against further danger, the dog,
an excitable one, was killed. No bad
effects were observable from the wound
until last Friday, more than two months
having elapsed, when Mrs. Webber
complained of bad headache, which
soon passed off. Saturday she COM
planned of a pain extending from her
right shoulder down her arm, to the
finger that was bitten but this was at
tributed to rheumatism. Chills were
complained of Oh Sunday, which were
succeeded by violent beating of the
heart and pain in the right arm, which
did not yield to applications of mustard.
Difficult breathing followed, with a
choking sensation. Several physicians
were successfully called, who agreed
that the woman bad b id cold. She
kept her bed Monday until afternoon,
when she arose, and, putting her hands
in water, felt an aversion to it, and i'm
mediately drew them out. In the even
ing she had violent shock. jumped
from her bed, and attempted to go
| from the room. On Tuesday morning
she combed her hair, but persistently
refused to eat and drink, as she had
done since first attacked, even after
calling for nourishment. She was COM
Portable and rational during the fore
noon, but gasping for breath and at
tempts to put the clothing of friends in
her mouth, required at intervals, she
assuring them, however, that she would
not bite. Several physicians who were
then called agreed that the case was
not one of hydrOphobia, but soon after
the patient went into commissions, NOR
phine atfOrding only temporary relief.
Hot water was poured upon her head
and feet, which she bore without finch
ing. She grew gradually more violent,
and on Tuesday afternoon was taken in
an ambulance to the city hospital,
strapped to a mattress. On the way
she barked like dog, and after arriv-
ing the symptoms of hydrophobia be-
came even more marked, and she died
in three-quarters of an hour. The ply
sicians ut the hospital were unanimous
i'll deciding that hydrophobia was the
cause of death, the deceased passing
away during what they termed ''spasm
of the DISQUALIFICATION Transcript.

The results of the harvest in Cali
fornia are turning out much better than
was expected. The grain crop has been
good, although showing a falling off
from last year. A larger amount of
Oregon grain is at San Francisco for
shipment than usual on account of the
unprecedented low freights from that
State. The fruit crop shows an abun-
dance of all kinds. A large amount
will be exported both in a fresh aud in
a preserved state. The crop of grapes
is the largest ever known. 1t is esti-
mated that some ten or fifteen million
gallons of wine will be made, while ii
large amount of the crop will be sent to
the East fresh and the balance cured as
raisins.

entered the bar, and was soon made
States Attorney for the counties OF
Frederick and Winchester. At the first
sound of the late conflict he abandoned
everything and went with the first
troops to Harper's Ferry. He was after
wards captain in the Thirty third Vir-
ginia, Col. Cummings "Stonewall" Bri-
gade. At the reorganization of the
army, in 1862, he was made O field off
Ger; and after ping through the battles
Of Winchester, Port Republic and
around Richmond he lost his arm of
Cedar Mountain, never having missed a
battle or been absent day from his
command.
He was held in the highest estimation
by Stonewall Jackson, who offered him
a position on his staff, and desired to
make him brigadier, but he was dis
qualified for service by his wounds.
After the war he resumed his profess
sion, but he has always taken a deep
and active interest in politics, and has
repeatedly been urged to accept a
nomination for Congress, but has al
ways declined all political advance
ment. His canvass during the last CAM
paign was very brilliant and effective
30 much 80, indeed, as to provoke com.
parison with that Of Gov. Wise during
the Known othing campaign before
the war.
What contrast is presented in such
gentlemen as Col. Holiday and Gov.
Nichols to the miserable wretches who
preceded them as Governors Of South
ern States since the war. Who now can
have doubt of the future that is before
US. when we see the true representatives
Of a gallant and noble people being
placed in charge Of their public affairs?
Whatever mistakes Of judgment such
men may make in the administration of
the high trusts confded to them, they
will always command the respect and af-
lection Of their fellow citizens, as well as
their unbounded confidence in their hon
esty and purity Of purpose. But the high
est praise that can be spoken of these
men is that the greatest power may be
entrusted to them neutrality-suspicious.
They know how to lay aside the gaudy
renown Of the soldier and take on the
higher but more sombre attributes Of
the civilian when duty commands them
so to do. There Is not in all this land a
more splendid specimen Of the Southern
soldier than our own Governor, and
none have right to look back with
more pride on the history of his achieve
msnts in the field. 1t would be fault
easily pardoned had he carried into his
executive administration of affairs some
of the habits of thought and manner
isms OF the soldier, but all such things
have been laid aside and are buried
with his good arm at Winchester and
his leg at charlottesville.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

The nomination of Col. Holiday for
Governor Of Virginia seems to have al
layed all the threatened schism in
the party. Of which we heard so much
prior to the meeting Of the convention.
On the first day Of the convention the
country was given a lot of sensational
dispatches to the effect that the Malone
party opposed the pledging Of all nomi-
nees to the support Of the platform to
be subsequently adopted, with view to
a bolt ana an independent canvass with
Malone at the head Of the ticket.
We were not disposed to put much
faith in these dispatches, and are now
glad to see that they were entirely with
out foundation. Gen. Malone withdrew
from the contest while he was yet the
leading candidate, and thus proved him
self entirely without any unworthy per-
sonal ambition In his quest for the dis
tinguished position of Governor Of the
old commonwealth. Col. Cameron, the
manager of Mahone's campaign, in
withdrawing his name expressed per-
sonal preference for Col. Holiday, "the
sleeveless hero Of the Shenandoah
Valley" and this secured his nomina-
ton. The canvass for the nomination
was very close and excited, several Of
the candidates bringing into the con-
vention strong and devoted supporters.
Among these John w. Daniel and Gen.
Malone had. perhaps. the strongest and
most pronounced adherence.
Col. Holiday is a gentleman Of abili-
ty and high character, and entirely
worthy of the honor conferred upon
him by the Conservatives of Virginia.
Upon the debt questions he expressed
himself as opposed to reputation. In
this connection he used the following
language:
| would no more have such stigma upon
my State than | would upon my private fame.
But, whilst lam thus opposed to reputation,
for the same reason / am in favor OF some
speedy settlement of the debt-honorabe to
our State and satisfactory TO the creditors. /
have not sought the high Office OF Governor
with, at this time its tremendous response
bilities. My friends have done me great
honor by thinking me worthy Of it; but ii the
people of Virginia are now resolved to go
back upon a renown hitherto ultarnished by
the reputation of her plighted faith, they
must find some other than myself to do their
bidding.
The following short sketch will show
that In her selection for Governor for
his nomination is equivalent to an cleo
ton Virginia has chosen wisely. After
graduating with high honors at the

WHERE THE SWAG COMES IN.

We some time since thought we dis
covered that the Calcasieu log war was
nothing more than squabble between
two rings of mill-men, one of which
was trying to obtain an advantage by
the vigorous enforcement Of the law,
and the other endeavoring to do the
same thing by raising clamor about
the sufferings OF the log-men, and for
this reason we have avoided the express
sion Of any sympathy with either party
to the fight, and confined ourselves to
the legal points Of the controversy an d
the urging of whatever might relieve
the people, the only sufferers really en-
titled to any sympathy.
The seizure of the logs no doubt
operated almost universal suffering, but
the two rings Of resident mill-men are
scarcely less responsible for this than
the government, and infinitely more so
than the marshal, upon whose devoted
head very large amount of unneces.
sary and undeserved abuse has been
heaped. We can readily perceive how
the government agent all along could
have had a fat thing in pressing the
rights Of the government in the interest
Of these rings. Yet, 80 long as he was
merely enforcing the law, over-zealous-
ly and with unnecessary rigor perhaps,
we could not pass criticism except such
as we have passed, upon the government
and the folly and wrong of it's policy in
regard to the disposal of the public do
main. We could not see any tangible
suggestion Of peculation in the seizure Of
logs, 80 long as they were held subject
to the orders Of court and disposed Of at
last by judicial award. We can very
readily appreciate, however, how there
might be good deal of it In the arbi
trary release Of these logs. There is
precisely ,chere the seoag comes IN, IL
there Is any to be made out Of this bust
ness by an abuse Of the forms Of law.
We do not propose to do more than
suggest this fact and that it is kept con-
stantly before the eyes Of the public.
These reflections are suggested by q
peremptory order from Mr. Carter, the
special agent Of thu Interior Depart
ment, to whom the conduct Of this
matter is confided, to the marshal to
release 1900 Of these logs belonging to
certain ones OF the persons interested.
This order the marshal declined to
obey, until he had been further in
structed by the district attorney. Ia
this he was perfectly right, but there
can be no doubt that he was equally
right in releasing them when ordered to
do 50 by the district attorney. There
can be no doubt Of the power Of these
representatives Of the government to
release whatever portion Of the proper
ty seized they may see fit, but we cannot
see the wisdom or necessity Of such
partial releases at this time when the
acceptance Of the bonds is pending and
the release on security is imminent.
We have been awaiting, and we may
add, expecting, some such event as this,
and we shall keep very close eve on
whatever releases may be ordered other
wise than on bond and in the regular
way.

GEN. JOHN G.. ANGELL.
A few days ago we announced to many

A few days ago we announced to many
anxious friends that Gen. John G..
Angeles health was rapidly failing, and
to-day 1t is our sad duty to record his
death. Gen. Angel was one of natures
noblemen, whose pillar of smoke was
duty and whose pillar of fire, honor.
He was kind and generous to q fault and
brave to temerity. When barely twenty
years old he leaped up in arms
at the voice Of tho Southern Confed-
eracy calling her sons to battle, and
left this city for the seat of war in May,
1861, as orderly sergeant of the Cres-
cent City Guards. He had scarcely
been in the field a few months when he
was elected captain Of the company,
and whilst occupying that rank he
many time acted as colonel, and led
the gallant Fifth Louisiana Regiment
to the charge.
After the war he settled down 10 the
practice Of the profession for which he
had been educated, and acquired quite
reputation as @ dentist and physician.
When usurpation had laid heavy
hand upon Louisiana he was foremost
in joining and organizing that nucleus
OF militia whose brave hearts and
ready weapons at last succeeded in free
ing the State from oppression. He con-
tracted the terrible disease that carried
him away, on the nights of the 18th and
14th of September, when his regiment was
in line to repel the hired metropolitans
of Kellogg, and his attendance at the
heavy guard duty which followed the
ninth of January last, greatly contrib
uted to break down his already shat
tered health. He may really be said to
have died, as he lived, in the perform
ance of his duty. No nobler epitaph
can adorn a citizen soldiers grave.

The presence Of W. P. Kellogg in this
city to supply information and respond
to inquiries respecting that large hiatus
in the receipts of the tax. collector of
the First District is as necessary and
important as that of Fulton. Mr.. Pack
ard, too, might throw some light upon
the disposition Of the warrants paid in
by tax collectors, or which were in the
hands Of the Treasurer or Auditor when
he was 80 hard pressed for funds to pay
his police mutineers.
The Auditorial Committee has her
culean labor, which it is performing
with zeal and earnest devotion, but it's
effective work is hardly begun. 1t has
got on the trail, but has long chase
before running to the earth the various
varmints that have been depredating on
the State treasury. The present admin
istration will not have redee med its
pledges and fulfilled it's duty to the
people until some Of these raseals are
brought to justice.

nAnATARIA SHIP CANAL.
THE REBELLION or THE COLLECTOR

We referred last evening to the re-
turn to the city Of the two politicians
from st. Landry. who, by virtue Of their
alleged sponsorship, managed to secure
the present Collector the office which
he 10 striving to fill. They are Ander-
son (Tom) and CAN'T, a veteran and
notable political chief from that very
prolific parish Of st. Landry. Forty
years ago CAN'T was Democrat of the
extremist sort. About the same time
Anderson was a Wing. They are now
St. Landry Republicans Of O peculiar
breed, who have managed for some
years past to influence the politics and
run the offices In their parish, with
large followings of both parties.
The present Collector was not very
decidedly Of either party, but had been
taken up by their chieftains to be used
in an emergency for their own purposes.
This appointment was claimed as a
concession to Tom Anderson whose
notoriety in connection with the Re-
turning Board made his own appoint
ment a dangerous and embarrassing
one.
His ''next OF kin" was, therefore, pre-
ferred, and Anderson and CAN'T, the st.
Landry big dogs, were appeased. King
would do as well. He would belong to
them body, soul and boots, and 80 King
established himself In the granite
palace. A little time was given him to
look into things and digest his RESPONSE
bilities and the Presidents civil service
scheme. His bond was promptly fur
nished him by his st. Landry sponsors.
Leaving him alone for little while the
big dogs returned to st. Landry to
abide events.
Suddenly unfavorable news reached
them. Their Collector was panning out
badly; was detected in talking and
writing great deal of nonsense about
civil service reform, cutting down, and
holding TO tried and experienced officers
and leaving out the promised ones in
dorsed by his makers. This thing must
be stopped. So there was q sudden de-
scent OF these chiefs and their staff from
st. Landry upon the verdant, expert
mental and sentimental Collector.
An interview was had at the lodgings
OF the Collector on Canal street. The
sponsors were fierce, emphatic and
mandatory.
What does this mean exclaimed the
vigorous and autocratic CAN'T; "You
were appointed through our influence
and under an engagement to do our
bidding. Your salary of seven thou.
sand dollars was to be yours. Your ap-
pointments and patronage were ours.
We gave bonds for you, put you Ia the
place you occupy and now you are
prating your nonsense about reform,
appointing Tom, Dick and Harry and
rejecting the persons we have named,
and doing many other things without
our sanction and approval.
In mild, gentlemanly, lisping, argu-
mentative strain the Collector deliver
ed himself of one OF his old-timed Wing
speeches, replete with patriotic senti-
ments In vindication of the Presidents
policy and OF the non-partisan distribu-
tion Of patronage, etc, etc.
Tut! Tut! was the contemptuous re-
