THE DEGREES ofthe Catholic Plenary coun-
Gil, held in Baltimore in 1854, which have
long been looked for are now ready for publi-
cation. In their essential features, the
changes are not 20 radical as might have been
expected. The church reiterates its views
on divorce, declaring there is no power
on earth to dissolve Christian marriage.
1t renews its former stand of de-
ploring the marriage of Catholic and
non-Catholic, and declares that per-
mission for it will only be granted when
there is an explicit understanding that the
children Oft the union will be reared In the
Catholic faith. on education the DEGREES
require that parochial school must be
erected within two years in every parish,
and Catholic parents are bound to send their
children to them unless lawfully exempted
by those having spiritual authority. The
great field of missionary work among
the colored people, numbering s,00O,-
600, is adverted upon, and secret
societies are placed under the ban.
A free space in every church is Or
dered for tho poor, and picnics, excur-
sions by night, etc, on Sundays, fasting or
feast days are rigidly prohibited. In fine, all
events OF this kind for raising money are
severely frowned upon, and fairs for the
same purpose may only be held under a
special permit from the bishop OF the dio-
cese

Horses Diseased From Ipjudiciou. Feeding

horses diseased FROM lDJudtcious Feeding.
Bulletin No. 10 ofthe Michigan agricultu-
raj college treats of a disease that is liable to
effect horses that are kept too high with too
little exercise. These cases are those in
which the animal is "killed by kindness,
something which might perhaps occur where
animals are much thought of
When the disease begins 10 show ITSELF it
will be in case of horse in good condition
and well fed being allowed to stand in its
stall days at time. When brought out it
may appear in the best of spirits but after
being on the road a little while will begin to
show signs Of distress and of extreme pros
tration. 1t may occur at any season of the
year but is usually more prevalent in the
spring.
The symptoms are usually well marked {;
as rule horse after being driven and
allowed to stand will tremble sometimes
violently. The eyes will present very
anxious look perspiration will run down
the face and sometimes the whole body will
be bedewed with sweat At this stage the
animal will paw with its fore feet and soon
lies down, or will crouch behind and appear
as If inju across the back, having difficulty
in using its hind legs in walking, when it
lies down in many instances it is unable to
rise. AT this stage the urine is il voided or
drawn away, OF a brownish red color; the
breathing becomes hurried, the nostrils
dilated and red the hind quarters will have
hard, board-like feeling
The treatment recommended i'm such cases
is to give an active purgative consisting of a
quart of linseed oil the affected parts
should be covered with clothes wruug out of
hot water and the whole covered with oil
cloth or a close fabric to keep the heat in.
An enema may be given every hour or two
until the bowels begin to act. After twelve
hours the hot cloths may be removed, but
the body should be kept clothed according to
the season, The urine should be drawn
several times day. After a day or two the
horse should be got upon his feet and exer-
cised little to stimulate the blood vessels of
the legs The disease should be treated by a
veterinary surgeon.

LANCASTER, MARCH Is, 1855.
Courageous and Sensible.

We have not always agreed with ex-
Gov. VIM. M. Bum, late of Idaho and
now again Of Philadelphia, upon questions
of public interest but the letter which he
has written to the persons interested in the
scheme of rearing monument to the late
actor, John Mccullough, is entitled to at
tentioH for its directness and for the use
full lesson it teaches. Mr.. Bum, being in
vited to meeting of persons interested in
" the erection of such monument as will
not only be a tribute of respect to the
memory Of deserving cilizen, but an
ornament and object of interest to the
city," very emphatically declined to attend
1t or to aid its purposes. In so doing he
expressly disclaimed any lack of respect or
affection for Mccullough, with whom
he seems to have had pleasant personal re-
lations and whom as an actor he holds
in high regard; but Mr.. Bum recognizes
what must have become apparent long ago
to persons of good taste and discriminating
judgment, but without Mr.. Bunn's cour-
age to freely express their opinions, that
the movement to have McCullough's "hon-
est grave loaded down with pretent:ous
public monument, is a misfit; and that
the erection of such pile as has
been projected would only "painfully
tell what he had not done TO
deserve it," Mr.. Mccullough was genial,
generous man, having and deserving to
have many warm friends in his profession
and outside of it, whose sympathy was
quickened by the sad mental infirmities
that closed his later life. But he was not
q great original actor, as Mr.. Bum re-
minds the public, like Edwin Forrest or E.
L. Davenport, for neither of whom we be-
lieve has Philadelphia undertaken any
monumental work; and until after it does,
the Mccullough movement may either be
profitably pondered over or reduced to its
fit dimensions.
The incident which has evoked this CON-
ment, however, is salutary in a broader re-
lation than its effect upon the movement
to which it Immediately relates. 1t will
not be gainsaid that the American public
Is all too stingy with its monuments and
memorials. We would be glad to see every
town and hamlet blazed with tablets and
statues, like the places of the Old World,
of the men and women whose genius or
benevolence have conferred distinction
upon the places of their birth and works,
whose lives and character taught some
new lesson to humanity or conferred some
new boon upon their race. But the spirit
which builds sepulchres, even to prophets
who were stoned in their lifetime, should
be guided by discrimination and apprecia-
tion. The fitness of the thing in the selec-
tion of subject speaks as much for a
community as the profuseness of monu-
ments or the lavish expenditure of money
on memorials. Neither Philadelphia nor
New York has displayed unvarying good
taste in the subjects of their park monu-
ments; and any voice that calls for more
considerate selections is entitled to be
heard.

Open and secret Sessions.

The newspapers are generally in favor OF
the secret sessions of the Senate being
made open. The Senate is not likely to
oblige them, and it is not clear that 1t
should. 1t is probable that more business
will be done in secret than in open session.
Our legislative chambers, since daily re-
ports of the proceedings are published in
the newspapers, have largely become places
for the public display Of the talents, or
imagined talents, of the members. 1t is
undoubtedly good thing that the public
are made acquainted with what is being
daily done in their legislative chambers,
but yet it has this drawback of tending to
make the members work for show. The rec
ords of Congress are burthened with long
speeches, which have no effect on legisla-
ton and are not intended to have, being
often printed without being delivered.
They are designed for circulation among
the speakers constituency, with the view
of impressng them with the fact that he
is doing big business in their behalf and
is very influential member of Congress.
In executive session the Senate discusses
nominations, treaties, and all business
which in its judgment the public in
terest requires to be considered with
closed doors. There is no doubt that
much of its business is of this character.
And it is very doubtful whether any good
result will flow from considering openly
the fitness of executive nominations to
public offices, as is now proposed If the
Senate should publicly discuss such nomina'
tions, like logic would require the presi.
dent to detail his reasons for making
them. That there would be any advan,
tage in this is not clear. The president
duty is to make good nominations, and ht
is responsible for the proper execution
of it.
The Senate's duty is TO confirm sucl
nominations, and it has like response
bility. General Logan proposes that i
shall give the public not only the reason
for its action, but its debate about it. Tht
general knows how the thing is done il
executive session, and it may be that th'
method is not good but it is doubtful
whether the publicity would improve it.

WHAT great many shortsighted states
men cannot get into their heads is that edu-
cation will not of itself extirpate crime. As
the London Spectator puts it. there is moth
ing in the mere development of intelligence
to remove the original causes of crime or to
cure either malice, or lust, or greed. Edu-
cation rather changes the form of some kinds
OF criminality than extnguishes criminality
ITSELF The educated man swindles when the
boor would steal, but the instinct OF thievish.
ness is the same in both, while greed is
slightly increased by education. These are
some facts which the unwise ad vocates of the
Blair bill should keep firmly fixed in their
minds.
