AN INNOCENT LAMB.

Upon recent festive occasion at
Norfolk, Va, the Secretary of the Navy
and several members Of Congress and
other officials being present, some re-
marks were made by Col. Lamb, who,
it is said, commanded Fort Fisher at
the time of its capture. A correspond
ent, describing the Colonel's effort as a
" significant Speech" says that he re-
marked in closing that it was desired
"to bring together under one roof the
"two sections of the country, and have
"them know that they are in their faith
GERS house To accomplish this, the
"voung men who were in the Confed-
"erate Navy should be appointed to
"positions in the United States Navy,
"and its old veterans should be placed
"on its retired list" This, he said
would be ian evidence of friendly feel
"ing" Commenting on this fresh evil
dence of sectional fraternity, a leading
daily pertinently remarks that, in order
to get the full sense ofthis proposition it
may be necessary to read it over, and
read it slow" We do not know whether
the check displayed here by Col. Lamb
is his natural endowment, or an abnor-
NAL growth which has developed since
the fall of Fort Fisher; but this we do
say unhesitatingly, that an officer with
such an extent and such hardness of
cheek as that has no excuse for not so
distributing it over his defences as to
make them impregnable. 1t is abso-
utely bomb-proof You couldn't dent
it with the ram of an ironclad, and as
for preaching it with artillery, it would
shed cannon balls as duck does water
We have seen exhibitions of what
might be called assurance before, but
they were as the shrinking modesty of
maiden compared with this. What
we may come to, later, when our South
ern friends feel little more at home, {"
as it were, we cannot tell but at pres
ent Col, Lamb takes the palm for can
dor as well as assurance

ton. Without doubt the inspiration Of
their action was fixed belief that the
Emperor is personally responsible for
the evils from which the people suffer,
and against which the Socialists make
bitter and determined war Like all
other crimes of the kind, these We're not
only atrocious and Infamous, but insane
ly impolitc They will bring down
swift and terrible punishment upon the
perpetrators, and they have already had
the effect to urge the government to the
adoption of severe measures for the
suppression of Socialism. Instead OF
loosing the bonds Of the people, these
outrages have draw them tighter, and
good men who might have given their
sympathy to a cause which has ele-
ments of Justice in it, are driven to
protest against it by the murderous
character of its methods Even if the
Emperor William should be removed,
the system of which complaint is made
would remain. That relief would come
to the masses sooner or later if they
should wait patiently and strive earnest
ly by lawful and manly means to find
disenthralment, is almost certain, but
its coming has probably been delayed
for many years by crimes at which the
instincts of just men revolt and which
compel society to seek selfprotection in
more rigid enforcement of existing laws.

eous crimes, then medical education
must be given up, though its abandon
ment should send us back to the limited
science Of Galen and Hippocrates =
Although we do not hold the idea en-
tertained by some, that the province of
physician is to amuse the patient
while nature performs the cure, yet the
sensibilitIes of society are not to be
wounded SO sorely, even for SO admra-
BILE an institution as the medical faculty.
We do not envy the position Of the
Ohio medical faculty, at Cincinnati,
since the country at large holds them
responsible for so revolving an insult to
one Of the strongest instincts of man

these parishes, and justified the rejec-
ton of the returns On legal grounds,
and believed further that, for the faith
tuI performance of their duty as super
vlsors Of election, they were in peril of
their lives it would have been equally
consistent for him to assure them that
their fidelity would be recognized and
rewarded. Aside, then, from the vio-
lation Of Mr.. Hayes theoretical and de-
lusive ideas and notions on the subject
of Civil Service there is nothing dam
aging in the letter unsustained by other
and corrohoratve estimonv. The most
that can be said Of it is, that it stulti-
fieS the \ administration, in that it pro-
misses a political reward for a political
service, which the sclfrie htcousness of
Mr.. Hayes repudiates in theory, but
toIeratcs and encourages in practice.
Indeed it seems to US that Mr.. Sher-
man would have been more likely to
write this letter as an innocent man,
and in doing which there was no rea-
son for concealment, than were be guilty
of completely in fraud, since ordinary
prudence would have suggested to him
the risk of putting any thing on paper.
While we are neither the apoIogists nor
the defenders Of the Hayes Adminis-
tration, we confess that we believe that
Mr.. Sherman's treatment of the letter
will prove more preiudicial to him than
the precious document itself can posi-
blv prOve.

THE CRIME OF BODY SNATCHlNG.

Fifty or hundred years hence, when
the world becomes more civilized than
it is at present, it is to be hoped that
such a revolving incident as recently
transpired at Cincinnati may have be-
come impossible. The dead body of
the Hon. j. Scott Harrison, promi-
nent citizen of North Bend, Ind, had
been decorously entombed there, with
all the observances suggested by Gus
tom and affection. Indeed, the burial
had been conducted with unusual pre-
cautions. His tomb had been overlaid
with heavy stone slabs, and a special
guard had been placed over it. Yet
within twenty-four hours after the in
terment, Mr. John Harrison was horr-
fed by discovering the naked body of
his father dangling at the end Of rope
in the Ohio Medical College, at Cincin-
natl, whittier he had gone in search of
another body known to have been stolen.
Seldom is it that more painful story
is authenticated by actual fact, aud the
indignant public reasonably demands a
condign punishment for these reckless
invaders Of the sanctity Of the tomb.
1t is an instance of sacrilegious theft
that admits of no paliation or argu-
ment, and if the liability of the inva-
sion of the graves of the dead is the
condition upon which medical colleges
are to exist. an outraged public will no
longer tolerate their existence. 1t is
true that the general run of young doc
tors are not now overburdened with
knowledge of surgery, or of medicine,
as was attested in the recent trial of
the Rev Mr.. Vosburgh, at Jersey City,
for wife poisoning, where the attendant
physician, when put upon the stand,
did not know the difference between a
suporiic and suderic, and spoke of the
duet leading from the aimentary canal
to the liver as an "aqueduct." But
profoundly ignorant as many empirics
are as to whether man, like an air
tight stove, is perfectly hollow on the
inside, or is equipped internally with a
complicated apparatus, society will at
least forgo the luxury of young doctors
if every man is to carry about him the
consciousness of his liability to become
victim of the resurrectionists, when
he shall have shutlled off this mortal
coil But there is no possible excuse
for these shameful dissertations of Gem
eteries in the supposed interest of as
necessary science as that of surgery.
In all our cities, the seats of medical
colleges, legal means have been pro-
vided to secure the use of the bodies of
certain classes of persons, friendless
paupers in our aims houses and public
asylums, whose exemption from custom
airy burial will give no shock to the
living. There is, then, no necessity for
body snatching, and such violations of
the rights of the living as well as the
dead are brutal instances of vile and
abominable dissertations of the tomb
which merit condign punishment

The recent visit of Mr.. Creswel and

were the result. The President said to one
of the anxious ones that no alarm need be
felt, as he did not propose to have repeated
during his administration the souabbles
over the Maryland offices, which were such
an annoyance to Gen. Grant, and that no
removals would be made, unless the public
interests were to be subserved. 1t is stated
here, in behalf of the gentlemen who made
the visit to Col. Wilkins, that the alarm
