HYDROPHOBTA.

The rapidly increasing cases of hydropho-
bia among the canine species is growing truly
alarming. We can remember not long back
when case was almost wonder, and people
would ride miles to see a captured "mad dag !"
but now such things are SO frequent that there
is no longer curiosity attached TO them, but
absolute terror and horror.
1t is almost daily occurrence to hear of
some dog travelling through whole stretch of
country biting and emitting the maddening
saliva into the veins of other dogs, cattle and
people. There is scarcely section of our
county that has not been visited by this terri
bic scourge during the present year. A large
number Of cattle have been killed and human
beings stretched upon bed of terror await
ing with intense agony for each moment to
bring symptoms of hydrophobia.
What is the cause of the diseass2 Medical
science stands before ii unknowing and baffied
In vain have its eyes attempted to penetrate
the mystery; il is as far from discovery to-day
as the moment it undertook the solution. Blu;
whether or not the cause can be known and q
preventive contrved, there has beer found 9
certain cure IL the medicine is administered
Immediately after the bite. The secret of ,hi,
cure lies in the breast of man in Pennsyl
vania. We understand that that State ha
offered him an immense fortune, many thous
and dollars more than he will ever make GU
Of his mixture, TO disclose the Ingredients
This he has refused to do, and persons bitter
are subjected to the danger of delay in going o
sending to Pennsy lvania for the medicine. II
the interest of humanity, il 1t cannot be &C
complshed in any other way, we think thi
man ought to be stretched upon a rack an,
compelled to disclose his secret.

DEMoCRITES.

AN IMPOVERISHED SrATE.-It is impossible not
to sympathize deeply with the present poverty
of the State treasury Of Virginia. The auditor
reports 10 the finance committee that he has
not enough to carry on the government there
is but the small sum Of SOB in the treasury,
and none coming in, inasmuch as the taxes
are paid in coupons, and the State is unable
to borrow any further from the banks. That
this state of affairs is due in part to unwise
financial legislation is beyond question and
the clamors Of portion of the people for
partial or total reputation have still further
Frustrated the credit of the State. Yet though
these are in part the cause of the depleted
| treasury, they are not the only causes. The
State has suffered great wrongs from the
| federal government since the war. The State
| of West Virginia was cut off from her, but the
| debts Of the whole were left upon Old Virginia
The State was desolated by the war, her barns
and fences destroyed, her forests cut down,
her roads and bridges aud dwelling-houses in
many cases destroyed, her cattle and horses
slaughtered and driven away. She had not
like the cotton States, a magnificent harvest
every year of staple that brings in vast mill
Inns, and thus her recuperative powers are not
so great. But in addition 10 all these 6isad-
vantages, federal legislation has la1 upon it
a heavy burden. Virginia contributes more
than twice as much to the internal revenue as
all the New England States put together. In
| 1871 Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts. Connecticut and Rhode Island, in
the aggregate, paid on internal-revenue taxa
ton So 92s. OPS, while Virginia alone paid
ST, 932, 22l. This heavy tax is laid chiefly on
tobacco, which is the only great crop that the
State can count upon as source of wealth.
| While Massachusetts, with a population OF
| l,457. ISL, pays 50 COS, 1877 of internal reve-
nue., Virginia, with a population Of |. 225. 500,
pays nearly Ss.0o0 600. Since the war she
paid in internal revenue alone, chiefly on to-
bscco, over 500, 000 900 enough to pay the
whole debt Of the State twice over. No won
| der, then, that the State Is poor.
