The Denili nf Jiwriili Toynbee, I'. .*■
The (loath of this remarkable man,
who was tx.-tter known to the medical
profession than any living authority
upou aural surgery, was an unusual
instance of the conscientious dis
charge of duty. Before subjecting
his ixitlent to the violent remedy
which “would either kill or cure,” he
tried It ui>on himself. It was this
tliut led to his (loath, or he committed
suicide. No other hyi>othesis is ad
missible. An error crept into our
article, publlshod yesterday, in the
statement that Mr. Toynbee’s death
was caused by contain. Wo do not
know what the medicine was which
produced the fatal effect; the impor
tant fact is, that he died from the off rein
of inedicine administered by himself.
In another instance, in Paris, we
knew of a case which resulted in the
death of the patient; this was caused
by a very successful practitioner, but
belonging to that nondescript class to
which Sir Isaac Newton may be said
to have belonged -viz. : ‘ ‘quack*.
They make wonderful cures, but
never die from conscientious use of
their own remedies.
While writing on tills subject, we
can not refrain from uttering a pro
test against thu loose system preva
lent in our medical colleges of grant
ing diplomas and conferring degrees.
We hazard nothing in saying that we
have frequently met very illiterate
physicians. It seems to us that, it
ought to be necessary, in tills Stab',
for a man to attend and graduate at
a medical university before he is
licensed to practice. As it is, a young
man has only to read medicine a few
months, and go before the Medical
Board appointed by the Legislature,
in order to get his license to prescribe
and practice. Is the Legislature the
proper tribunal to decide who should
constitute a Medical Board ? In the
case of apothecaries and druggists,
the evil is ten-fold worse. Many of
us can recollect the case which hap
pened in Atlanta a few years ago, in
which an agonizing death was pr>
ducod by a mistake on the part of the
drug clerk In a store there. Thou
sand* of such cases must occur that
are never discovered.
In Paris, a man can not buy any
fatal drug—we hail almost said, any
drug unless he has an order from a
physician. We do not know what the
French law is on the subject.

The Cruelaii Church Is*.
In Pnissia every candidate for reli
gious orders, of whatever religious
body ho may be a member, must have
completed the course prescribed at
a German gymnasium, must have
studied three years at u German
university, and must have passed an
examination held by the State, before
he can take charge of a parish or
church.
The State has long required tliut
every lawyer, every physician, and
every teacher, of whatever grade or
pretension, should linvo pursued
these courses and passed these exam
inations before they were allowed to
outer ui>on their professions.
It is not, therefore, surprising that
a difference, amounting to persecu
tion, has arisen between Bismarck
and a Pope who claims to be infalli
ble and promulgates a theory like
that of the Immaculate Conception,
“Duly to fulfil the obligations of
our office, we hereby publicly inform
all those whom it may concern, as
well os the whole Catholic world, tliut
these laws, being completely at vari
ance with the divitie institutions of
the church, arc invalid from begin
ning to end.”—Encyclical of the
Boman Curia, issued to the Prussian
Bishops, extolling their resistance
and martyrdom.
“The Times is concerned about
the biographical sketch of John H.
James, which wo published the other
day; wauts to know who paid for it.
When our neighbor establishes its
interest in the matter, we will answer
nilreasonubloquostious.’'- fc'iK/nirer-
Sun, 10th.
In common with many others, wo
take a deep interest in the mode
of electioneering which Mr. James
seems to be pursuing. To advertise
his biography in several State papers,
some of them published in commu
nities who do not know him from any
other rnuii, seems to us neither mod
est nor good policy. Wo would be
glad to publish said biography as an
advertisement; would be sure to do so
in nongerril type, and would call it
an autobiography, if Mr. James did
liy for its insertion.

Kii-Klux at the \<>r(h.
Why does not the Government stop
the Ku-Klux in loyal Pennsylvania?
Almost under the shadow of tlio
White House bands of lawless and
armed mobs are making war upon
honest labor. If only two or three
get together and commit a lawless
deed in the South, we are threatened
with the presence of tlio military. It
is eminently proper for the Ku-Klux
in the North to be punished. Apply
a little of your medicine prescribed
for tlie South to your own sick, and
see how it acts.

This little State ought to be wiped
out. It is not much larger than a
bed-quilt, and is the meanest little
Radical hole in the Union. The i>eo
ple composing that village could not
afford to vote for a decent man, and
as a consequence they are always rep
resented by the dirtiest Radicals in
the country. She has elected another
batch of them, whose only ambition
Is to persecute the South and draw
their Wages promptly.

“Appleton’s Journal’’ Is devoted to
literature, science nnd art, and ranks
among the best magazines In Amer

particularly interesting. It lias an
illustrated chapter entitled, “Among

“Lippincott’s Magazine” is replete j
with fresh stories, and a vast amount j
of useful information. It ranks high
as a magazine, and deservedly so.
“Harper’s Weekly” is well illustra
ted with the Beecher trial and other
scenes of interest. Laying aside its
polities, it is a well edited and care
fully selected weekly, containing
more reading matter than uny other
published. It contains a fine sketch
of the crowd and the speakers who
figured in tlio great revival in Eng

“The Vox Humana” is a journul
devoted to music. Each edition con
tains fine music nnd a criticism and
lecture on the inspiring art.
(■icrninn Millet.
How Hungarian or German millot.
It will pay better than late corn. Se
lect good, dry, rich soil, and prepare
it as you would u turnip patch. Har
row it thoroughly. Then sow at the
rate of one bushel pcrncre, if you sow !
it broadcast, or proportionally less if j
you sow it in the drill. It will mature !
in ninety days, and will yield on high
ly manured land and naturally rich
soil upwards of two tons per acre.
The best manure for it would proba
bly be cotton seed, previously killed
before applying to the surface; then
harrow both millet and cotton seed
in at the same time. Do not put mil
let on poor land ; it is like throwing
your money away. It will probably
pay better than any grass, in this cli
mate. Once make it successful, and
it will hardly be necessary to pull
fodder for forage. The seed is not
good for horses, but neat stock are
fond of it. Cut it, therefore, before
it matures its seed. A good mowing
machine will cut. at least six acres in !
ten hours.
What is one man’s labor worth per j
day when it returns him twelve tons j
of good hay? You can cut this crop
; after the other crops are laid by. Try
it.

There is considerable comment
throughout the State on the removal
of this distinguished carpet-bagger
and ex-Governor of Idaho. All ex
press great surprise at Grant for
turning out. his faithful friend, ami
stand amazed at the coolness display
ed by Bard on hearing the news.
! They wonder why he stills stands for
Grunt for a third timo. In our opin
ion it Is a made up thing. Bard is t,o
be established In a newspaper by the
Administration, and the paper is to
advocate Grant for a third term. Tills
suits Samuel better than the cares of
Ia post-office. His salary ami printers’
bills will be iiid by the Government,
and, of course, ho w ill succeed.

TmrPK, J.—-1. The Mayor and
Council of the City of Columbus were
authorized by tlio act of November
17, 18U4, to prohibit the sale by retail
of freslt meats and vegetables during
market hours at any other place than
tho market house. By a subsequent
seetion of said act, it was provided
that no person should be punished
under any ordinance passed by vir
tue of said act, except such persons
as shall usually tiring marketable
articles for sale by retail at the mar
ket house.
Held, that said act is not uncon
stitutional.
2. Whether any person prosecuted
for the violation of such ordinance
conies within tho exception, is mat
ter of proof on trial, and cannot be
enquired into on the hearing of a
habeas corpus sued out by one who
is in custody under a judgment of
conviction for violating tho ordi

so applied and mo used, the guano was
in the production of his said crop of
no benefit whatever, nnd was whololy
useless und valueless to tilts defend
ant, la not a good idea in bar of the

The Enforcement Act.
ARGUMENTS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT
INVOLVING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF
THE ACT.
; Washington, April 2. -During tlie
| argument yesterday before the Bu
; premeConrt in the Grant Parish case,
involving the constitutionality of the
Enforcement act, Attorney General
Williams contended that by the thir
teenth and fourteenth amendments
and the Civil Rights bill the people
of the United Htates intended to se
cure to tlie colored man, under tlie
protection of the General Govern
ment, tlio right to make contracts, to
sue, to hold property, and the various
other rights of citizenship. On the
other siao it was contended that the
fourteenth amendment was nothing
I more than an empty formula and
amounts to nothing-nothing but
empty and vain words. Even before
the adoption of the lute amendments
Congress had the power to protect
the right to vote for Presidential
Electors.
Mr. Justice Bradley said : Suppose
Congress should enact a law making
it a felony to steal the property of
another. Congress has tho undoubt
ed right to punish the stealing of tho
! proixTty of tlie Government, or of
property in the service of the Gov
ernment; but beyond that the law
j would tie unconstitutional. Now,
when a law is so framed that one part
is constitutional und the other un
constitutional. and tho two are so
blended as to be impossible to sever,
can you hold one part constitutional
and the other part unconstitutional V
Tlie Attorney-General replied that
the law could be enforced as to those
offences which it is admitted are
within the legitimate power of Con
gress to provide for. As to the power
assumed in the Enforcement act to
provide jieiialties for interference with
voters at Congressional elections, tlie
very existence of the Government de
pends on these elections. If Congress
has no power to protect the voters
then the White League of Louisiana,
a minority of the jieople, can stand
around the polls and prevent the ma
jority from voting. The fifteenth
amendment confers upon the colored
people tlie right, to vote, and unless
Congress lias the power to enforce
that guarantee it is of no value what
ever.
Mr. Justice Clifford said that in his
State (Maine j the colored man always
had tlie rigilt to vote. Ho would ask
tho Attorney-General whether, if two
indictments wore found of conspira
cy, one to prevent a colored man and
the other a white man from voting,
would the Circuit Courts of tlie Uni
ted States have jurisdiction of both
eases.
Tho Attorney-General disclaimed
asserting that negroes iiavtf greater
rights than whites, but these amend
ments took the negroes from a condi
tion of slavery, guaranteed them
equal rights with tlie white man, and
undertook to protect them against
all discriminations. An indictment
for depriving a white man of the
right to voto at a Congressional elec
tion could lie maintained in the Uni
j ted Htates Courts, hut lie could not
insist that it could be maintained if
! the deprivation of the right to vote
was ut a State election.
Mr. Justice Strong asked if a con
spiracy was formed to prevent a man
from voting because lie was tin' son
of an Irishman, would the United
States Circuit Court have jurisdiction
of that? It would certainly lie a race
discrimination.
The Attorney-General said lie had
no doubt; that. Congress had the ilower
to provide for such a ease, but he did
not say that it would come under this
act.
Mr. Justice Strong Suppose tlie
State of South Carolina, where tin
majority of the people are colored,
should change its constitution, ami
say that no white man should vote,
| would a remedy against t hat lie in
the United Htates courts?
| The Attorney-General said lie had
no doubt that it would. His idea in
tlie main of these amendments was
j that any and every right guaranteed
by them mav lie Protected in the
j courts of tlie Uuiteu States.
