Mr.. WOODBURY. then went into an analysis
OF Mr.. Cox's middle name OF Sullivan, and
denied that gentleman claim that he was
a descendant Of Gen. Sullivan Of revolu-
tionary fame.
Mr.. Cox said that he had been advised
by friends on both sides OF the House 10
pay no attention TO this nonsense. For
many years this book, "The Buckeye
Abroad" had been quoted against him on
many subjects. Though young man, he
had in that book indicated, rs every
young American should, the doctrine Of
our constitution as 10 religious federation.
He had paid visit 10 Ireland, and had
paid tribute 10 the people OF that coun-
try. The gentleman should have made
this attack upon him during the debate
on the tariff. The bullet had gone by, and
the gentleman did not know enough at the
time 10 know that he was hurt. He did
not know il, because he was an incarnate
supprcssio veri. That was Irish for man
who did not tell the truth all through.
laughter lie admitted the gentleman's
assertion that he was better lawyer than
he Cox was lilo had, therefore, referred
10 Blackstone, and found that when the
grand jury had heard the evidence and
found the accusation groundlcss, il formal
ly entered on the back Of the bill ''igno-
ramus." II the gentleman were indicted
for intelligence and for telling the whole
truth and the grand jury kept TO the old
custom, II would write on the back Of the

motion OF Mr.. Sherman the Senate
proceeded 10 the consideration OF the
fisheries treaty in open executive session,
and was addressed by Mr. Gray in support
OF ITS ratification. II lac knew himself no
partisan consideration could influence his
Judgment rs TO the merits OF the treaty.
The Senate was bound TO presume that
this treaty was the outcome OF an honest
endeavor and an earnest and patriotic de-
sire on the part of tie executive to make
a satisfactory and advantageous settlement
OF the vcxed question TO which II related,
and that the President was correct until
the contrary appearcd), when he said that
II had been made on a basis honorable and
Just to both parties lie was proud TO be-
lieve that there never had been an Ameri-
can President 10 whose performance OF tho
high function of treaty-making this pre-
sumption did not rightiully attach; and he
greatly mistook the temper and sense Of
the American people II they would tolerate
any other discussion OF the pending treaty,
but one which appealed 10 their sober
judgment, not 10 their prejudices or pas
sions and not 10 class or section, or II they
would countenance arejection Of IL for any
reasons which did not concern the interests
and welfare OF the whole country, or the
honor the prestige or the dignity OF the
republic. The Democratic party today
was on the American side OF this question.
The Secretary OF State and the ncgotintors
OF the treaty wcp on the American side Of
the question. Those who defended IL in
the Senate were ON the American side.
The President was ON the American side,
and the American people would recognize
the courage and sclisacriicing devotion 10
their highest interests with which that
brave, honest, straightforward and sagn.
cious man had sought 20 serve them. II
in obedience TO party caucus, which sat
with closed doors and kept yelled in secrecy
the real motives OF opposition, the treaty
should be defeated by bare majority, nm
appeal would be made Ia the sober judg-
ment Of 5000, OOOof people; and the brave
and honest fishermen themselves would
b. appealed 10, whose rights and interests
were secured and maintained by this
treaty.
Al the close Of Mr.. Gray's speech Mr.

consideration Of the fisheries treaty was. ON

Not a Paradise for doctors.

The Chinese penal code provides that
when an unskillfu physician, in admins
tering medicines or using the acupunc-
ture needle, proceeds contrary to the
established forms, and thereby causes tho
death of the patient, the magistrate shall
call in other physicians to examine the
medicines or the wound If it appear
that the injury done was unintentional,
the practitioner shall then be treated ac-
cording to the statute for accidental
homicides, aud shall not any longer be
allowed to practice medicine. But if he
have designedly departed from the estab-
lished FORMS and have practiced deceit
in his attempts to cure the malady in or
der to gain property, then, according to
its amount, he shall he treated as thief;
and if death ensues from his malprac-
tice, then for having thus used medicine
with intent TO kill, he shall be beheaded.
There appears to be nothing in the
Celestial" code answering TO the laws
Of barbarian nations concerning civil
damages recoverable by parties made to
suffer from "unintentional" malpractice.
