 The conclusion to which the writer comes is the inevitable one that the only permanent remedy for southern anarchy and barbarism is to be found in popular education. One of his characters in conversation upon the subject thinks it past controversy that the Government might distribute fund fin the proportion of illiteracy." Here is view of the matter put into the mouth of southern man:
 Perhaps the chief incentive to the acts which have disgraced our civiization-which have made the white people of the South all most unit in opposing by every means, lawful and unlawful the course of the Gov ernment in reconstruction, has been deep and bitter conviction that hatred, envy and resentment against them on the part of the North were the motives which prompted those acts. Such measure, planned upon a liberal scale, would be vindication of the manhood of the North an assertion of it's sense of right as well as it's determination to develop at the South the same intelligence the same freedom of thought and action, the same equality of individual right, that have made the North prosperous and free and strong while the lack of them has made the South poor and ignorant and weak.
 This book will of course have large circu- lation, and will, like "A Fools Brand, ? do much to give the people of this country a better understanding of the southern question It is now nearly ready for publication by Fords, Howard & Hurlbert, of New York to whom we are indebted for advance sheets

HOW TT WAS DONE.

The history of the Cincinnati effort to force General Hancock to declare his views concerning southern claims does not add to the impressiveness of that declaration. It is stated that after attempt made in the East to draw him out had failed, Mir. w. c. Neff, of Cincinnati, wrote him an earnest letter on the subject, prompted by the knowl- edge that his attitude in the matter was giv- ing business Democrats there much concern as well as dissatisfaction. It is understood that MT. Neff's letter was very specific as to the kind of claims as to which he desired to know General Hancock's views The friends of Mir. Netf say that he desired the letter for use among his Democratic mercantile friends for the purpose of proving to them that their fears of General Hancock were unfounded. The reply to MT. Neff's letter, which was written about the middle of the month, was regarded by those business men who knew of it as altogether evasive. It inclosed slips from the New York World, taking the ground that the Fourteenth amendment barred rebel claims, and that General Hancock was com mitted to the support of the amendment. The knowledge of the evasive character of the letter to MT. Neff became quickly known in business circles in Cincinnati and the consequent demoralization among business Democrats was unmistakable. Thereupon MT. Theodore Cooke, chairman of the Ham ilton county Democratic executive commit tee, recognizing the full gravity of the situa- tion, undertook to procure decided express sion of opinion from General Hancock. Mir. Cooke's letter was only part of the enor- nous pressure which was brought to bear, and General Hancock was made to see that
 without prompt action on his part this subject, great and irreparable damage would be done the Democratic cause in the North.

Protest From q Freshman.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In your Monday issue appeared an article entitled Freshman Societys Caper," in which the freshmen were made solely re- sponsble for the destruction of the flag. It seems impossible that any one who knows anything about freshman society limitations should commit such an error, but that is nevertheless the case. For, in the first place, freshmen being ''fresh' would not be likely to know of the unfriendly relations existing between Sigma Fps Society and the Jeffersonian club and therefore they could not be charged with t'maliciously'' tear ing the flag. Secondly, they were under going the process of being initiated and had their eyes bandaged as you were pleased to state. Moreover, they were made to do the will of the initiators. Even if they did all that you said, the blame would not have fallen entirely on them. How unjust is it, then, to charge the whole affair to their ac count without the least qualification and ex- tenuationl Besides, only little more than 8 third of the class were initiated into that so- ciety, and it is probable that only very few of the freshmen knew anything about it at the time. AS to what is implied in ''glori- ously signalized their entrance into college" etc., say it is false As matters now stand, the really guilty ones can now have a chance to show their fine sense of honor and justice by exonerating the freshman class from the blame.

NEW HAVEN, July 9.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years had been troubled with a catarrhal complaint which was very annoying and often interfered with my swa1- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to eonsid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in. creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthill's s pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill efectually removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all its attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. LighthilI's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. LighthilPs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min ! utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of his profession.

Of the Success of pr. Light hills Practice in New

NEw HAVEN. August 20,

NEW HAVEN, August 20, 1880.
 Permit me to add my testimony of Dr. LighthilPs skill and success to that of Mr. Cox and others, as have every reason to speak in terms of the highest praise of his successful efforts in my behalf When a month ago I applied to him for relief was a great sufferer. A catarrh which had af- ficted me for some time past, recently be- came so aggravated that it impaired my hear ing and gave rise to such agonizing pain and distress in my head that it nearly drove me nsane. In fact, such a result could scarcely have been otherwise if Dr. Lighthill had not afforded me such marvelously prompt relief. One treatment proved the efficacy of his method, for when I left his office was in condition of comfort and experienced the most inexpressible relief. That night rest ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like new man. Ever since then steady im- provement has taken place in my case, the most stubborn features yielding readily to Dr. Lighthill's skillful management. The pain has entirely disappeared, my hearing is restored and troublesome cough, which se- rlously alarmed my friends, is almost entire ly gone My whole system, in fact, has been so much benefited that all my acquaintances notice the favorable change Like many oth- CTS, I had spent much money and time in fruitless efforts to obtain relief before I ap- piled to Dr. Lighthill, and I can therefore recommend the doctor with the confidence of long experience. I am an employe of the Boston and Air Line Railroad Company, and reside at 267 Atwater street. and will cheer fully substantiate in person what have here put in writing. J. H. MEHAFFEY.

For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- riably be given as to the possibilities of 8 cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present a reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lighthilps professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill and an ex- tensive experience.

 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthill's success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efcial that I cheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthill per- manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hav- ing at their command the services of a phy- sician so skillful Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh

A writer in the New York Times boldly dissents from the prevalent practice of ''as- cribing the origin of every disease to mala- ria" ''The truth is,' says he, ''that the term is only the exponent of a theory by no means accepted or proved to the satisfaction of the present day. With most physicians who use it, and who are too indolent or too much engaged to thoroughly analyze their cases, it is term used to cover their own ig- norance or carelessness.

The revision of Mississippi's laws by Judge J. A. Campbell, which goes into effect November 1, gives married women the freest property rights. It is provided that mar riage shall impose no disability or incapacity on the wife in the ownership, acquisition or disposal of property of any sort. Husbands and wives may sue each other, and the wife can will her property, real and personal, as if she was not married. Each inherits the property of the other, if there be no chil- dren, and each child's part if there are children or their descendants.
 The last census of the city of London proper shows some curious results. It was taken in the evening, when only 60,o00 peo- pie were found within the city limits out of the 800, 900 who inhabit it by day. For in- stance, upon the census night there hap pened to be-as 1odgers from agricultural dis tricts in the city inns and hotels, forty far mers besides three farm bailiffs and twenty. three gardeners, so that in the ratio of agri culturists to area London city appears as the champion agricultural district of the king dom. It also appears that out of 6,OOO mer, chants who are by day something in the city, only 356 habitually sleep within the city bounds; and that out of 5000 brokers only thirty-three breakfast under the shadow of St. Paul's.

Now will these gentlemen think General Hancock has insulted them?

good story is told of the President il connection with the recent appointments
 made to fill vacancies in the army. gentle man who is distinguished in social life was extremely anxious to have the son of warm friend designated for one of the vacancies He called upon the President and made known his request s'You see, MT. Presi dent'' said he in advocating the young mans
 claim, "his father is distinguished ex-army officer His great grandfather was a gallant
 soldier of the army, and his great great
 grandfather was an officer in the navy during
 the Revolutionary war" These points were
 pressed with force upon the attention of the
 President. All of sudden the President said: FtAnd this young mans father, great grandfather, and even more remote grand father have all been officers of the United States ?" 'fYes," came the reply. ''Wen, replied the President with merry ehuckle,
 ''don't you think it about time that some one in that family earned a living for himself p
 According to the new British burial law any one responsible for the DuTlh1 O4 OcGOdoO0 RCA5OA1J nAANA that the service shall not be that prescribed by law and the Church of England, may give notice of such intent, and of the day (other than Sunday, Christmas, or Good Friday) and hour fixed for the interment, to the off, ciating minister in charge of the graveyard where the deceased has the right to be in tered. Such minister has the right to indi- a&a &f,a, of ko ho mony not more than 24 hours in case of a church service or funeral having been pre- viously appointed for the same time, and to see that all the proceedings are Christian and orderly" There his power ends, and he cannot direct what the service shall be, nor whether there shall be any service. nor can he prevent even layman or woman from conducting any services they choose which are professedly religious and Christian. It is also further provided that the Church of England service may be used in unconsecra- ted grave-yards, and a new service is author ized in the cases of the unbaptized, the ex- communicated and suicides, all of whom have previously been refused the last rites of the Church. Four hundred clergymen of the Established Church have shown the spirit that is in them by signing an urgent remon- strance against the new measure, not neglect ing to abuse the bishops who helped to pass it. They will not, they declare, tread the service over a Nonconformist, be the legal consequences what they may" In other words. as the PGH MGH Gazette explains, they propose to punish individual mourners for 8 bill passed in Parliament which they insist insults their Church.
