Frightening InvaIids. >

The pupular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured. has no doubt fastened the
death of many inyalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted
with pectoral disease should be supported By
every assurance of cure, not alarmed by
the gloomy, forebodiug conntenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe
that consumption is incurable, and let physi.
clans theorize as they will, we have a mass
of evidence to prove that persons having all
the symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expeetora'ion, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrh9a, night sweats, burning
ing fever, &C., have been permanently cured

NO TIME FOR DISCUSSION.

But for the distress and peril in which hun
dreds Of our best citizens are involved In con-
sequence of the prosecutions under the Fed
eral election laws, we might afford to be
amused at the good-natured innocence In
which some of our most reliable Democratic
exchanges at the North have been discussing
the propriety of the action of Congress in
lacking the repeal of the test oath and the
election laws on to the appropriation bills
With rare exceptions, these papers have de-
precated the summary process adopted by
Congress. They all agree that the laws which
it is proposed to repeal are unconstitutional,
as well as inexpedient, oppressive and an un-
necessary expense They insist that the pro-
position to repeal them is one which concerns
the North not less than the South, and in
support OF this assertion they instance the
oppressive uses Davenport subserved in New
York. The main object which these laws
were originally designed to compass, we are
told, was to enable the Republicans to control
and defeat the Democratic majority in New
York city. To this purpose they have been
as mercilessly and unscrupulously used in
New York as they have ever been in the
south, and always to the deprivation of thou
sands OF American citizens of the free and I'M
-, noS'rlcted exercise OF the right Of suffrage.
nhese papers go even further, and assert that

FThe movement of the New York clergy to
break up the Oneida community gathered
additional strength from the recent decision
OF the Supreme Court OF the United States
against polygamy. Unlike the Mormons,
who have meny wives, the Oneida people
have no wives at all Everything Is in COM
mon. and the children belong to the entire
community. This social anachronism has
not been destroyed heretofore, because no
law could be found with which the peculiar
features of tho community came In conflict.
1t is proposed to open vigorous war upon
the Oneida iniqulty, and for this purpose a
meeting OF the clergy is to be held at SYRIA
cuse to concert measures looking to It's extir-
patton. The wonder is that this was not
done years ago, when the Oneida people first
gathered together

We desire to call the attention of the City

prevails of driving loose stock along our

Inconvenience of pedestrians. There is not
day that lot of wild, unbrOken mules are
not driven down Canal street, at midday,
when that thoroughfare is crowded with
women and children, endangering the lives Of
multltudes OF people. These animals, wild
from their unaccustomed freedom from re-
straint and frightened by the yells of their
drivers, rush in On the neutral ground
