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. ———i * 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. Uhoile iMlaml. 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.

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.

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.

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. | Tlio Semaphore, dwell known Miu j seilles journal, by no means addicted to the publication of canards, an nounces that the sovereign of Japan intends paying a visit to France, will start at the end of August witii three ships and a numerous suite, and will come by way of Suez and Marseilles.
