DOWN WHIT TIIE WOMEN-DOCTORS! from th K. Y. Tribune. There is a point where forbearance ceases to be virtuous. We have reached it I If there be any ancient epell to lay a malicious spirit left in this work-day world, we demand that it be brongnt 10 ugrit ana tne irrepressi ble woman exorcised. Wherever men have found comfortable lodgment, place, or power, from Parliament or the wool-sack to jury boxes in Wyoming, there this unquiet, ubi quitous ghost thrusts up her hungry visage now-a-days to push them from their seats. Most men have wit or courage enough to cither wrestle with this greedy adversary or to find discretion the true valor and yield at once. But others are weaker. The last ap pearance of this female apparition (which is, we confess, but the ghostly caricature of the woman we used to know) was made in Phila delphia on Thursday last, in the midst of the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, there in solemn conclave assembled. No sooner had these grave and reverend doctors comfortably seated themselves, acoording to immemorial usage, to felicitate each other on the bless ings of vaccination and to groan over the successes of quack practitioners, than the spectre appeared among them. A certain Dr. Atlee, a Saul among his brethren, summoned her, demanding full recognition for her as a member of the pro fession, and admission to all its rights and privileges. We are not told in what ques tionable shape she came; whether fully chig coned and paniered cap-a-pie, or draped in the severe trowsers of our Florence sisters; but none the less did she strike terror and consternation to the souls of the good doc tors. The young and bolder members vainly tried to rally them and persuade them at least to parley with the enemy. They flut tered together in wild confusiou, like fright ened hens, as though a hawk instead of a dove had entered the poultry-house. Day after has passed without restoring equa nimity to their dismayed spirits. Vaccina tion, quacks, patent medicines, all are for gotten in this imminent peril. It is sad, indeed, to witness the discomfiture of such grave and ponderous dignity by so trivial a cause, and to listen to their wild cries of alarm and prophecies of disaster. Unable to cope with the female doctor even in this shadowy presentation, they attacked with virulence those misguided , men who had consulted with her, demanding that they should be thrust without the camp. "He that hath touched the unclean thing, let him be accursed." "In what college was she graduated ?" cries one feebly. "In what kind of Latin does she write her prescriptions ?" "Can you purr?" said the hen to Andersen's Ugly Duck. "Can you lay eggs? Then of what use are you in the world ? For these hens always said 'We and the world,' know ing that they were half the world, and by far the better half." One old gentleman, his hair on end with nervousness, gives us a picture of the female doctor and the disasters that lie in her Juggernaut progress, which is in deed lamentable enough to make angels weep. At one end of her road is a patient dying of cholera while awaiting her coming; at the other her household of infant babes making night hideous for the maternal nutriment, said nutriment turning to poison in her breast while she dodges from corner to corner gos siping with others of her sex. The assembly shuddered in concert at this picture of coming horrors. But our alarm is more immediate. What shall be done to restore these grave and re spectable gentlemen to calm and composure? If the mere shadow of the coming woman rendered them thus unfit to transact needful business when strengthened in conclave, what will they do when left to fight singly the usurher who would thrust them from their buggies and victoriously mount their saddle bags? How can Doctors Bell and Hamilton clear their eyes to vaccina Smith's child, or write a prescription in pure Latin for Mrs. Jones' "nerves," when this spectie in petti coats climbs the crupper, or nails her tin sign across the way, a prophetic handwriting dreadful upon the wall as that which said to Belshazzar, "Thy kingdom is taken from thee." We have not leisure to share with Dr. Bell his alarm for the families and patients of female doctors. They will share the fate, we sup pose, of the women in India, or those of other nations who for centuries were tended by their own sex. It is for ourselves we tremble, whose faith is given to the doctor himself and his panic-stricken brethren. These gentle men carry our lives in their pill-boxes and at the end of their lancets. Their courage and steadiness must be restored. Perish the whole race of women, but save the doctors ! The masculine half of the nation must take heart o' grace at last, and march upon this encroaching woman, bhe has brought chig nons instead of cigars into the judge's bench, and we have submitted; Ebe has substituted flippancy and flash for dull reason in the lec ture-room, and we have borne it; but now when she would lay a sacrilegious hand on the time-honored, gossiping old gentleman who has distributed the same jokes and jalaps to two generations, we rebel. "Part Pistol, part Poins, but don't part old Jack!" To the front, gentlemen ! Down with the women doctors ! THE STORY OF THE INDIANS: From tKe A. Y. Timet. Whatever differences of opinion may be entertained with reference to the claims which the Indians have upon us, the manner in which those claims have been brought to our notice during the last few days cannot fail to make a deep impression. We nave heard the story of the red man from his own lips. and if we can once bring ourselves to regard it in a candid spirit, and without violent pre judices towards the Indian simply on account of his race, we shall see some reason to sup- pose that the "wrongs" in the Indian affair are not exclusively on our side. There can be no doubt, for instance, that Bed Cloud, a chief over a score of tribes, never understood the true nature of the treaty of 18G7 until it was properly explained to him on Friday at Washington. All the Indians declare that tbey were told that the treaty was only in tended to "make peaoe" that the troops were to be withdrawn, and the Indians allowed to "raise their children. When they found the railroad going through what they regarded as their country, they believed the Government to be once more takimg an unfair advantage of them. Secretary Cox told them on Saturday that he was sorry "they felt badly upon finding out what was in the treaty." But is this the way the busi ness of a great Uovernment should be car ried on, even though the parties treated with are "only" Indians ? Is it any wonder that the Indians do not adhere to treaties if they are carefully kept in the dark aa to what those treaties really contain ? We are quite aware that there is a class in the country which simply settles all such questions by siring, "Any treatment is good enough for the Iudians. They are vermin, and must be exterminated'.' We trust, how ever, that this SAvage theory is not accepted by the great body of the people. We ought to be desirous of keeping our engagements with the Indians, even if they do belong to an inferior race. The "extermination" prin ciple has had its admirers, and some military men, as our readers will easily remember, have done their best to carry it out. -But we might almost ballenge any one to read Ked Cloud s speeches, and then decide whether the Indian is entitled to receive ordinary fair play or not. Ked Cloud is evidently a man of considerable natural aoilities. No amount of education could have enabled him to present his case with greater effect than he has lately done, drawing all his images and illustrations from nature, and breaking out now and then into involun tary scorn 01 our mode of perpetually discuss ing questions without settling them. "I nave become tired of speaking, he said on Saturday. And again he beRged not to be forced to visit New York. "The whites are the same everywhere. I see them every day." Some of his remarks are even more charac teristic of the red Iudian than any of the speeches invented for the "Last of the Mohi cans by t enmmore Cooper, "l ou promised ns many things," he said on 8aturcUy, "but you never performed them. You take away everything. Even if you live forty or fifty years in this world, and then die, you cannot take all your goods with you. The Great Spirit will not make me sutler because I am ignorant. He will put me in a place where I shall be better off than in this world." Again, is there no truth in the following sayings? "My Father (the President) has a great many chil dren out West with no ears, brains, or heart. The words of my Great Father never reach me, and mine never reach him. There are too many streams between vs" as fine an image as ever poet conceived. Listen, too, to these words of Brave Bear: "I am seventy-five years of age. I am old. When the Great Father created us, the white and the red men were all brethren, and we lived so; but now we are not. We are melting away; and the whites, who are increasing so fast and are great, are trymg to crush us and leave us no hope. The ' Great Spirit is looking upon them, and will make them give an account of their misdeeds." "The whites," said lied Cloud, "who are educated and civilized, swindle me, and I am not hard to swindle, because I do not know how to read and write." Are these groundless complaints ? We all know that they are not. If the Indians do not always keep faith with us, we have cer tainly not gone out of our way to set them a better example. Their lands have been taken from them, and when compensation has been promised, the money has seldom been paid. Some of the "streams which run betweeu the Indian and his Great Father at the White House intercept and carry oil' the appropria tions. There seems to the Indian to be no chance of getting justice, ne is entrapped into making all sorts of treaties which he cannot understand, and which are misrepre sented to him by those who induce him to sign them. We trust that Secretary (Jox will do all in his power to see that a more honora ble policy is pursued in future. It may be the destiny of the red man to be "stamped out," but while he does remain upon the earth it is scarcely worthy of us as a people to make mm the victim of superior cunning. NEW WORLD OF WONDERS AN ASTO NISHING DISCOVERY. From the -V. Y. Sun. The microscope has been called man s sixth sense. After exhausting all the natural powers, unaided by science, there yet re mains an unknown world of nature to which the senses have no access. The microscope opens this amazing creation to our vision: and we find it teeming with organized life and beautiful forms, in comparison with which the grosser structures seem quite im perfect. ine eartn on wmcn we tread is in many places simply the remains of living things which nee moved, and felt the sunlight, and died to build up a world of variety and use fulness for man in his turn to live and die upon. The city of Richmond is built upon such a graveyard. The chalk cliffs of England are made of dead infusoria. The rotten stone with which we polish metals is only the shells of minute creatures whose day of existence was millions of years ago. The dirt-eaters of Lapland, of North Carolina, and of , California devour the remains of organized life, and de rive nourishment from the animal matter which has survived countless ages for these wretched beings to feed upon. All these things come to us through the little tube upon which science has conferred these marvellous powers; .and science is yet ceaselessly working on to results still more surprising, llie last advance, wnion nas just been made in this city, is a very large one Until now the best microscope magnified an object not more than two hundred million times its actual size, and very few microsoo pists ever saw such power, iho President of the Royal Society of England last summer showed a shell magnified one hundred and forty-four million times, ' and this excited the astonishment of microsoopists throughout the world. . But the new optical combination just completed in this city exhibits the same object under an enlargement of nine thousand million times its natural magnitude. If an ordinary domestio fly could be seen entire under such magnification, it would seem to cover a space as large as the whole city of New York below Wall street. A man would appear more than a hundred miles high, and a lady's hair would reach half way from New iork to New Haven. This wonderful instrument is so sensitive that aloud word spoken near it destroys all distinctness of vision, from tne tremor lux parted to it by the motion of the air, and a footstep on the floor shakes it out of adjust ment. The field of view that Is, the area which can be seen at onoe is a circle only the one twelve-thousandth of an inch in diameter, but it appeurs to the eye to be eight incnes In diameter. A microscopio shell 7 called an angitlatum, of which about one hundred and forty placed end to end will reach an inch, and which is simply marked with lines of tne most exquisite delicacy when examined nudtr ordinarily powerful powersul microscopes, exhibits under the new instrument half globes of white 6ilex, whose diameters appear to be an inch and three quarters, and of which only fifteen can be seen at once. In reality the point of a cam- brio needle is larger than the circle upon which these fifteen half globes exist, and yet that circle appears like a dessert plate covered with ladv-anile8. Theee wonders we have seen; but how they are produced only men of science can fully explain and understand. The honor of the invention belongs to Mr. Edward N. Dicken eon, tie dibtinguitshed lawyer and engineer of this city. As a microscopical expert, novv- ever. ne la but an amateur, and not a profes sional devotee of the instrument; and he has arrived at this miraculous discovery by a pro found study or tne laws of optics, and by elaborate and exhaustive mathematical calcu lations. We should add that he is a member of the Bailey Microscopical Club, an associa tion composed of the most skilful mioro scopists of the country, which is doing muoh to advance this department of science, so in teresting and so useful to humanity. A MEMORIAL TO DICKENS. Fom the A'. Y. World. A correspondent favors us with the sugges tion that steps be taken at once to organize a publio meeting for the purpose of "giving expression to the sorrow felt by tne American people on the death of Charles Dickens." We desire to speak with all respect of the senti ments which doubtless prompted this propo sition. But from the proposition itself we confess that we shrink in unfeigned terror. what need of public meetings to express a sorrow which has been uttered ere this in Erivate and in public wherever two or three ave met together in all the English-speaking world, from London to San Franoisoo, from Gibraltar to Quebec, from Bombay to Cal cutta? It is the incommunicable privilege of a great name in letters a privilege which neither the prestige of colossal wealth, nor the splendor of place and power, nor the pomp of ancestral rank can command that it nakes its possessor a par taker in the quiet inner life, the daily hopes and fears, the hidden personal experiences and emotions, of those whose verdict gives him fame, ihis privilege it was the fortune of Dickens to enjoy in the fullest measure. It was on Thursday night that he drew his last breath under his orn roof near London, in a spot made immortal by the genius of bhak9peare. Before the dawn of day on Saturday, the news, flashed east and west, and north and south, by wires upon the land and by cables under the sea. had been carried round about the globe. It was magnificently said of the morning drum beat of the British forces that, "following the sun in his course, it circles the whole earth with one continuous strain of the martial airs of England." And it may without exagge ration be said of this calamity, which even move truly than the death of the "Iron Duke" "mado all England tremble And groan from snore to shore," that, passed on from meridian to meridian and parallel to parallel, the tidings of it have circled the whole earth with one continuous lamentation for the noble dead. It came to men's lips with their greetings on the crowded Exchange of New York and in the halls of Congress at Washington not less promptly than in tbe clubs of Loudan or the factories of Manchester. It crossed the American con tinent with the travellers on tbe iron way which links the Atlantic with the Pacific. It c'imbed the Himalaya and the Cordilleras. What need of public meetings here or there to formulate a grief so universal, so simple, and so unfeigned? Charles Dickens was prized not by an order, or a caste, or a clique. He was above all others of his time the people's writer; he belonged to the general family of his race. It is in the households of the people, not upon the hustings or the plat form, that his loss is felt, and there shall it be most fitly mourned. If anvthmg be wise or well to do in the way of a public recognition of this sad event, it maybe, perhaps, to take steps for securing a monument to the great novelist in some such place, for example, as our noble Central Park. Nowhere could his statue be more appropriately placed than in this great plea- saunce and paradise of the democratic people of the world's one great democratic capital. For who in our time has labored more con stantly, more sincerely, or more effectively than this lover of men simply as men, this partaker in all sorts of simple human hopes and fears, and joys and pains, to spread abroad throughout the world that true spirit of democracy, that true law of liberty, which consists in the practical, genial, natural re cognition of the common humanity in us all, underlying alike tbe aristocracies of nature and the accidents of fortune? GEN. GRANT'S FISHING EXCURSION. From, the A. 1". Herald. One of the most serious drawbacks to an inland fishing excursion is too much water, and this is the very drawback which com pelled General Grant and party on Friday last to beat a retreat from his trout-fishing excur sion among the trout streams of the Pennsyl-' vania Alleghenies tributary to the west branch of the Susquehanna river, in the neighborhood of West port. "The rains descended and the floods came," as they oome in the rainy sea son in the Alleghenies heavy outpourings from the lowering clouds, in rapid succession, night and day. lhe mountain brooks swollen into roaring torrents, the larger streams into rushing rivers, and the Susquehanna itself expanded into an inland boo, simply Hooded out for the time being all the fishermen in those regions. So it was that the President and party did beat a retreat back to Harris burg; but even in his retreat he was tempo rarily, at one point, beaded on by an ava lanche of mud and rocks swept down from the mountains upon the railway track. The excursionists, however, after some deten tion, got under way again, the rain pouring down, and towards the sunset of the eventful day were safely housed in Harrisburg, under the hospitable rool ot uenerai uameron. And thus ended the trout-fishing excursion of the President and party to the lovely Allegheny regions of Central Pennsylvania, for the President and party returned yesterday 10 Washington. , . GEARY'S APPEAL. The ivcrnor Unhappy Officially anil Per aonnlly llovr Wis-Wax, Ilia Ureal Kueiuv, a. aptured (be Prealdent. Governor Geary is unhappr not without cause and restless, though we are glad to say in a right direction. Ilia recent address, or appeal, or procla mation, whichever it is, maae in tne exercise or what he calls "one of the prerogatives or his posi tion," on the subject of tbe danger of the I'ennsyl va nia sinking fund, is a most remarkable paper. Our memory does not furntoh us with any other instance of such executive Interposition, and be must have been grievously exercised ana alarmed when he took this unwonted step out of the routine path. It la a solemn warning to the people, now on the eve of making their nominations, not to re-elect to the Legislature those who represented them last year, or, if they do, to bind them strictly by instructions, under no circum stances, either of their own motion or "through the evil Influence of affiliated corporations," to rob the treasury or despoil the sinking fund. This is the plain English of it, and hardly more plain than the Governor's vernacular. Now, when one remembers that the Legislature, whose return to Harrisburg the Executive so strongly deprecateB, was overwhelm ingly Republican, of precisely the same way of thinking as the Governor himself, and brlmlul or loyalty and love for the negro, the wonder grows apace, and we can perfectly understand tbe stupid amazement with which the horror stricken managers or the radical cause In our sister State regard this acrobatic performance. Forney rubs his eye, and, not knowing what to make of it, (liHtmsai-s the matter with hail a dozen lines mere dull and unmeaning than usual. Eveu the independent pre is puzzled luto silence. The next election, It should be remembered.

Oomr la8' ronnoel In the nnie city 10 the Philadelphia negroes not to consider themselves bound to vote the Republican ticket, nd tie consequence must be to puzzle sorelv the new citisc n. It It be b rne in mind that, id stating tho practical embarrassment likely to result from tho present abnormal state of things, we do not mean In any way to censure u v ernor Geary. So far from this that we applaud what he has done; and lr It redound, as of course it must, to the advantage of the l)cmocrt or Penn sylvania, who, unless except i'Hially, had iisught to do with these plunderlnjrrtevlc.es, we shall hot on that account abate our pralso. It Is really heroic; for not only does the Governor by tot course array against him the compact phalanx of Individual lobbyists and adventurers of his own party, bur he throws down tho gage of defiance to "the atllllated corporations" - which, he snyv threaten the honor and virtue of the cora monwenl. "Has not," the Governor boldly says, "has not the time come for dntermlulng the ques tion of title to the sovereign power In this Common wealth? Is that power a rightful and Indefeasible estate of the people, or does It reside In Incorpo rated companies enacted by our laws? Shall your Government be the Instrument of corporate ambition and avarice, and an object of jest, ridicule, and reproach; or. In other words, shall corporations supersede the Government and become masters of the people 7 ' This is brave talk, for If. Is a bold thing to defy th mira nioth corporations which now bind Pennsylvania: and It Is a healthy social algn that Geary he who trembled and fled wheH he thought he heard the rumnle of Jackson's artillery over the Blue Htdee docs not fear these "arrogant corporations," which from hast and South and west, marshalled by ex pert strategists In this sort of campaigning like Scott and Cameron and Cass, may at any moment march upon Harrisburg. It may be that the Gov ernor, being an ancient jars son man (Andrew, not Stonewall), feels within him something of the an cient spirit which vanquished the Hank of the X nlted States, and Is will to try a fall with the giants of cur day, aiongs'deof whom the "Fiscal Agency," with us paltry tiurty-uve minimis, was a dwarr. It Is certainly a hold experiment. In one respect only, as sincere well-wishers of Pennsylvania, do we see cause to regret the sharp issue Governor Geary has made, ills language is this: "The nuei- tit n (of the sanctity of the sinking fundi Is In fact u nutted for your jongroenr. m ne issue la now before you for your arbitrament- If you are alive to your interests and nonor you win sustain tne anneal now sent to j ou from the executive chamber." It is surely tot necessary for us to say why we dreaJ the decision of so precise an issne. It Involves the whole credit of the State, and we see (and we Incline to think Governor Gesry sees too) but one safe path out of this grievous perplexity the repudiation of the whole radical majority, ami placing the legisla tive control In the hands of Geary's ancient and yet uncorriipieu iiienua, ine ueinouruuc party. In sober earnest, Is it not a sad sight, an awful proof or tne demoralization or tne tunes, when a Governor has to make such an appeal In order to avert actual ana certain tiisnonor 7 Thus much for Governor Geary's restlessnos".
