Joseph X. Barnes was born in
Pennsylvania, and appointed in
1910 an assistant surgeon in the
army. He served in the Medical
Department until his death. He
was ranked as captain in 1S47, and
as major in 1856. In 1868 he was a
medical inspector of volunteers,
ranking as lieutenant and colonel ;
and in August of that year became
inspector general, with the rank of
colonel. He was appointed surgeon
general on August %, 1864. On
March Is of the following year he
was made brevet major general for
faithful and meritorious service dur
ing the war. A bulletin just issued
from the War Department says that
he inaugurated the medical history
of the war, founded the Medical
Museum, and brought his depart
ment up to the highest standard of
efficiency. At the time of the as
sassinatien of President Lincoln and
the attempted assassination of Sec
rotary Seward, he attended at the
death bed of the n and ministered
with untiring energy and skill to the
successful restoration of the other.
SO during the long illness of Presi-
dent Garfield he was one of the sur
geons who for days and nights serv-
ed with devoted duty in the sick
chamber of the dying President.
During these long %protracted hours
of anxiety and care his own health
gave way, and from that moment to
the time of his death he was an in
valid. His career vas n of honor
to himself and of great service to his
country.

THE sire, pass" business has
doubtless been abused by railroads,
and possibly needed some restric.
tons placed upon it, but the devel-
opments of last week have turned
the laugh upon u grave and con-
scientious Senators, and it will lead
many persons to think hat they
were not just quite sincere, but were
misled by the spurious cry of re-
form, in passing the bill prohibiting,
under severe penalties, the granting
of free passes, or passes at a dis
count, by railroad OF other trans
portation companies. When the bill
was passed declaring that, the grant
ing of free passes was contrary to
the provisions of the Constitution,
and criminal in its character, most,
if not all of the Senators voting for
it, had at the time free passes in
their pockets, which they had used,
and therefore by their votes they adj
mitted that they had been criminally
violating the Constitution. And
when Senator Aul offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was refer
red to the Railroad Committee, in
stead Of being promptly adopted, it
, placed the reform Senators in an un-
pleasant position:
Whereas, The Senate of Pennsylvania
having decided, by q vote of the majority of
Its members; that tie granting of free passes
is contrary to the provisions Of the Consti-
tuition and criminal in its character, there
fore be it
Resolved. That it is the sense of this body
tissk eli its Representatives too conscientious
| TO enjoy .be courtesy of free travel should at
once return their passes to the source from
which they essrate. and hereafter pay their
fare like honest her who are disposed TO
practice what they preaaL.
! If the Senators who votsG for the
biz. did SO conscientiously- and
we DO set doubt but that they did
they should have at once return
ed their passes ta the respective
companies, and thereby given evil
dencs that they practice as ttey
preach. But when they refused to
adopt the resolution of Senator Aul,
and thereby reduce their precept to
practice, they placed themselves &c
a false position and subjected them
selves to the charge of being sham
"Refermers." If the principle is
right, and il It be unconstitutional
per Sc, to grant psSSes, the Senators
who have them, and VIC believe
them to have been issued in viS,a-
ton of the Constitution, need not
wa< for the bill to become a law,
but should surrender them at once,
or the principle j. the same wheth-
er enforced by law or &c, To vote
TO make the issuing Of the pass ECU
have in your pocket, apenal %offense,
is a traves.i;e on morality, but not to
surrender the pass Immediately, is
TO give countenance sS .he charge
msae by the uncharitable, THAI The
average legislator can be bought
with a pass.
As VIC said on q former occasion,
"he 10 Q very cheap rooster thai can
be bought by . railroad pass" but
if the bill does not exactly indicate
that there e such cheap legislative
roosten, what does it indicator We
fear that a majority Of our Senators
have placed themselves in al ayk-
ward dilemma from which there ia
no escape.

Senator Cameron's Health and Inten-
tons.

Senator Cameron was in this city
yesterday, preparing his business so
as to take an extended tour In
Europe. He will be accompanied
by his wife and daughters, and pro-
poses to remain abroad until the
next session of Congress. The party
will sail in May. The Senator said
yesterday that he did not intend to
resign his seat in the United States
Senate, and the thought was never
entertained by him, because the leg
islature would choose a democrat to
succeed him. His health, however,
was paramount at this time, and he
proposed to take the best care OF
himself, and not allow the least mat
ter Of business to worry him. 1t is
hardly probable that Mrs. Cameron
will return with the Senator in the
fall unless his health continues bad
She viii remain abroad for a year OF
more.-Record.

One of the most striking eyiden-
ces that the reign of Democratic
reform and good government has
begun in this State is the present
Senatorial apportionment bill now
before the Legislature. 1t is the
most outrageous measure of the
kind ever laid before the Repre-
sentatives of any State. Counties
are grouped together without regard
TO anything but the making up of a
Democratic majority and, in addi-
ton, the ratio and population in
Republican districts averages $4,000
while in Democratic districts it only
averages 5000. But, we wanted
reform so badly last fall that we
put the Democratic party into power
and we ought not to complain now
if they give it to us in large quanti-
ties.-Mercer Dispatch.
