MEM! is no profession which should
engender higher or purer , aspirations,' or
-which maybe fraught with greater good
to human society, or be' more elevating
:and enobling to Its discipleas 'than the
LEGAL profession; and yet, perhaps, there
18 no other at the present trie, which,
standicondenined by the public general
lyui,does this profession, on account of
ittlinee-prostitution by those who have
taked'itsmantle upon theivand are us
ing it as an engine of power ta cloak and
practice venaland mercenary trickery.—
We claim that this profession should
atand equal to, if not above the Christian
ministry, in ;its public weal, for it ne
ceuarily - Combines the Principles of
Church and State in its practical opera-
trees se sus other profession or calling
combines them, in that it has a field for
moral mission equal to the Clergy,, and
added thereto a Mightier power to aid
in eivil'reform, public virtue and social
happiness. While the ministry hits to do
with the advocacy of DiviNe LAw,_aria
appeals only to the heart and consciences
of then with no power to execute penal
ties, enforce obedience, or relieve respon
sibility, yet the attorney in a great meas
ure possesses both, and when he obeys the
high Mandates of his profession, and true
to its teachings, is guided by the hand of
Justice, Honor, and virtue, he bevel - n . 68 a
public benefactor to society than whom
none has the power to tilanseend in any
other profession or culling. , Ou the other
hand, if he chooses to beconie a counter
feit on his profession, he is so situated as
to become preportionately as great a pest.
No person, however, should judge the
LEGAL PrioirEssiose by personallities any
More than he should judge true Chris
tianity- by its counterfeiters. Both are
alike belied. The rules and regulations
which-every ATTORNEY is compelled 'to
subscribe to before he. can be admitted,
are rigid and wholesome, and he who vi
elates them becomes as great a backslider
from the principles of the fraternity, as
he who violates Ecclesiastical "and moral
canons, and is no more the representative
of the one than the other. The mem
bers of the LEGAL PROFESSION as a body,
however, and the courts that preside over
them are not without responsibility for
the present condition of the bar, for they
possess within themselves a remedy to
circumscribe the actions of its defamers,
by virtue of a strict enforcement of its
rules, and we hold them culpable in a
great measure for tlseir deriliction of du
ty,
which has brought this reproach upon
it. We do not advert to this matter with
any persons or localities in our mind's
eye, or with any intention temake an
application, yet we admit that we were
somewhat astonished at the class and pet- ,
ty standard of some of the litigation
which we witnessed in a short attendance
at the kit session of our Caere. We were
forced to believe one of two things. Ei
titer that Attorneys who advised the
bringing of such =see as a few we heard
were guilty of gross professional negli
genes in not informing themselves as to
the meritrof their auks, or else the greed
for " business" led them to advise litiga-
Sion that was disgusting to the - dignity of
the Court and disgraceful to the parties.
The firstof which is no excuse to the
Attorney, and the last is simply it viola
tion of the high-toned obligation which
every Attorney suliscribes to, and that is
to be faithful and irne to the best inter
est& of his client. We were glad to hear
his, Honor, Judge Morrow, administer a
mild reprimand by saying, that "if At
torneys would advise settlement in many
cases instead of coming into Court with
them it would be a great benefit to the
parties and more creditio the profession,"
We are fully aware that parties who de
cide to go to law, are sometimes foolish
snough to think—or seem to—that if they
can make a good case by " coloring" it be- 1
fore an Attorney their point is gained, 1
and, lawyers. are grossly deceived in many
cases; but this is no excuse for, their ap
pearing-in Court with a "surprise," for
exptaience should teach them, and
their duty as Attorneys compels theinto
know-what their case is by some under
standinzof the evidence, before coming ,
into Mud. If this is practiced, whole
neighborhoods of people in distant parts
of the County, would not be promiscuous
ly subpamted to spend a week from their
business and homes to inform the Court
and Jury that they know nothing of the
matter at issue. Every party who yes
'town attorney for advice does so because
no needs a " Physicia n,"—o r thinks he
does, and alio because lid considers him
self ignorant as to the A!. remedy," Ile
should, therefore, be treated with just
eonshlenition and candor, and an Atter

Son TIEIMMAN, of Ohio says the
Pittsburg Post, is AO:day :one - of, if not
tho foremost and safest; leaders of the
Demobracy country. , In the recent
gathering in Columbus, when: Liberal
and Democrat met to exchange views on
the situation, the Senator read ati address,
in which the foliciwing ()ants:
*Free, independent thoughts is of the
very esscence of Democracy and true Re
publicanism. It created the Democratic
party in the beginning ; it has maintain•
ed it ever Since. It gave rise to.

ed, then, is not erimioation and recrim=

quarter niillions of electors have protest.
ed by their votes against Radical misrule,
Under which- the, country has suffered, and
which threatens to overthrow the very
foundation of the government. The rea
sons for their protest are as potent to-day
es they were when they cast thei: votes.
By every consideration of consistency and
just principle these men are bound to
continue to act together. The necessity
for reform is likely to increase instead of
diminish.
tiII'ADVOCATES OF CENTRALIZATION
are likely to - become more audacious than
ever in their attacks upon local self-gov
ernment. -Exactions of_combined wealth
and corrupt use of money in elections
are likely to become established usages if
not spedily rebuked. It is no time, there
fore, for any lover of free institutions, of
purity in elections and government, and
equal laws to relax his efforts; nor is it
intelligent or wise or manly to despair of
suce.ess."
Pending the discussion, which - took un
restrained range, an eccentric Liberal
Republican made a violent
,call
ingithe Democratic party a putrid &mimic
and Attributing the late defeat to the
stench attaching to.the name Democrat.
This brought Senator Thurman to his
feet. He egad., "It may one day be left
to others to bury the Democistic party
and write its epitaph, but, God helping
me, I will take no part in its funeral cere
menies." He said the change of name
was absurd; that while it was true that
A "ROSE DY ANY OT7IIIR ITA3IE
would smell as sweet, 'twas also true that
the Democratic party would smell as vile
with another name, if 'twas already pu
trid. It might be true that parties, like
men were doomed to die, but his hand
should never help the death of the Dem
ocratic party. He said the Democrats
had been unsuccessfial in their new de
partures and they were done with them."
'This mao:ir may not be true. Parties
have sometimes adopted names and at
other times they have been given them.
The principles of the Democratic
.party
will always survive, for they are founded
upon truth, and will be eternal ; its organ
ization might adopt the name of Liberal
to-morrow without diminishing its power
or weakening its vitality. No Democrat
would feel that he made any surrender of
essential principle in being called a Lib
eral, any more than when denominated a
Conservative, Democratic. Republican,

foen. Jefferson - admitted the necessity
for frequent changes in the Constitution,
that it might be adopted to the waists of
a people, developing power in the politi
cal and material order with such marvel
ous and exeeptional rapidity.. We are
confronted with issues at this hour never
dreamed of in the philosophy of Jeffer- .
son, not affecting the principles of gov
ernment, but requiring a different mode
of treatment. The change of name will
not answer any good purpose, unless ac
companied with good works. What is
wanted is organization in every school

He has forbidden the railroad companies

There were 481,620 votes cast in favor of

The amendment haVing been voted
by two successive Legislatures, and rati

the Gemantoretu Chronicle justly re-
" The constitutional convention has be
gun is a very bad way, by surrendering
to the party.caucus. It is a matter of no
possible consequence to the public to

are of very importance, as indicat
ing the spirit by which the delegates are
governed.: It seems almost incredible
that in a body of men, presumably the
wiiest in the State, chosen on a distinct

that the majority should assume that the

scurvy of the human subject. The blood
is so deteriorated that it escapes from' the
Vessels into the cellular tissues under, the,
skin, so as to cause large ecehymoSis into
and through the mucous utembranees, ,
giving rise to bloody discharges, and even
into the cancellated portions of the.biine.
The red glotibles are in a state 9f &sin-.
tegration, and the serum escaping; from
the vessels collects under the skin in .the
most dependant 'portions of the body,
causing the appearances known as drop
sy. The collections, if bloody, under the
skin and the discharges from the nose
have been mistaken for the swelling and
discharges peculirr to glanders. This
destruction of the integrity of the blood
seems to be largly due to the effect of the
preceding fever, especially in the case of
horses which have previously been poor
ly fed, over-worked, and kept in illventil
ated and filthy stables. Another
,and
powerful exciting cause is excessive medi
cation during the fever and too early ex
posure to cold, wet, itt.d, fatigue, with a
*poor 'and unnutritious diet during the
convalescence. These fatal complications
are mostly found in horses which have
been sick under the circumstances above
mentioned, and rarely is horses which
have been carefully kept previous to the
attack and well attended during and after
the fever. Horses convalescing from this
epidemic should have a highly nutritious
end easily digested diet. To counteract
the tendency to scurvy iron compounds
are useful, and such foods should be es-
pecially selected as are rich in the nor
mal saline constituents of the blood and
in arnylaceons compounds. Such are the
various bulbous roots, viz., turnips, car
rots, ruts bags, potatoes, &c. These to
be 'readily masticuleted and digested
should be boiled and mixed with bran or
other mash.

CIVIL Service Reform save the Harris
burg Pritriol,sii thientened with a decid
ed- check in the hones of its Mends.
When ra-elected President Grant took the
framers of the Philadelphia platforth •at
their.word. With singular appropriate
.nesa his application - of civil service reform
is made in the post ogee of that city ih
which it was proclaimed by the assembl
ed representatives of the party. This
was well enough fora platform, but it is
evident enough that the Pennsylvania
ring were completely taken by surprise in
its suddin application to themselves and
their friends. Following the example of
the PresidCnt, Commsssioner Douglass
has prepared a draft of a bill for refor
ming the reveauo service by sweeping
away the whole army of • assessors. No
sooner is his. plan announced than it en
counters the opposition of the radical
members of congress. The threat is
made that the bill will encounter the op
ositior. of every member of Congress who
as a fri-nd.to serve among the assessors.
As this is the case with most of the radi
cal members the fate of Commissioner
Douglas plan of reform may be easily an
ticipated: Senator Sherman has already
declared his hostility to the plan. The
assessors worked bard for Grant at the
last election, and this attempt to sweep
them away on the very heels of a great
victory is regarded as rank ingratitude.
It was the assessors who held the whisky
ring so &illy up to the snpport of the
administration, and now it is proposed
to turn them adrift at the close of their
ardnons and patriotic labors. Could John
Sherman, who owes so. much to the reve
nue assessors of Ohio, be expected to ens
bin such a proposition ? Will Senator
Cameron go back on his faithful hench
man in 'Pennsylvania? Commissioner
Douglass is n citizen of the state. Re
should have a care how he meddles with
the revenue assessors of Pennsylvania lest
he find them powerful enough to reform
him out of his position. He should re
member the fate of Secretary Cox and not
permit himself to be deceived too much
by the PresidAnt's action in the matter
of the Philadelphia post office. That was
quite enough in the way of reform to last
a good whip. The assessors are not to
be trifled with.
Keep Ulm Obil.
We notice that several prominent deco.
auntie journals are urging The caucns of

Death from a Wandered Dane.
The 2'4 reiaitafitni, sacs' that a
glandered horse belonging to -Itosviell C.
Hiner. Stenben in 4 blowing
from his nostrils, discharged a portion of
the mucous, is drop of which entered one
of Mr. Miuere, eyes . . lie immediately
wiped it ii : nt; - as he supposed, - but within
twenty-fiitir hours his eye_was• math swol
len, attended.with greatpain. Medical
aid waaprncured and his was pronounced
a hopelesS - one. ' The - virus bad so per
meated his system_ thit,' his recover sins
pronounced impossible; his flesh. turned
purple and was thoroughly impregnated
with the rxiiiov. Ile lingered in agony
about twenty-Raw days. and died a most
wretched dealt.. His friends were
cam
pelled to bury him immediately, and with
him the entire bed and budding on which
he had lain.
Instances of 'human death .from con
tact with_ slandered . horses arc by ..no
means unComilitlit';.;and owners of glass
tiered horses should be compelled by law,
under heavy penalttAs, to destroy • them
immediately upon the discovery of the dis
ease. The late .lamesH. Wilkins; one of
the heaviest planters in : Mississippi, in
1836 -lost seventy..six heiseS with this fell
disease. and was compelled to burn his
plantation stables . .. .which:-had -cost over
eight thousand dollars.
A Nzw'Youx -paper publishes this as a
trne'account .or :the clomestic economy of
an intelligent family in that city:
For several yeari We have been much
annoyed by the recklessness of our !ser
rants. Lusk January, in desperation, we
dismissed the young lady who kindly as
sisted us with the work, and '"herself" to
our ribbons and . Sincethat time,
my taro sisters and . l (with the ocealsional
help of 'atltUrvrontau). have done the
housework, lud we are so comfortable
that our present arrangement will not be
altered for softie time.' What we have
saved in coals, candles, butchers' bills,
&c, no one would believe lint those who
have tried the sumo thing. There is.an
other advantage, too; we have no fol
lowers dangling inecesmntly at the kitch
en doors! Nornre we attired in ging
ham and largeuprOns all day.,By 'divi
ding the works and doing it "ith a will"
we have generallythe afternoon for sew

Cameron In fad Odor.
The New York -correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says: News from
the Constitutional Convention indieltes
that Cattieron will .rethrti from Washing
ton to find himself Snubbed a second
time. • A correspondent writes _that after
the Convention capnized,Senatin White
and Wayne McVey, .Cameron's son-in
hew, promptly, only to find that
President Meredith ..was coolly, uncon
scious of. their , distinguished greatness.
and that the same lack of discernment
that characterized the President was pain,.
fully apparent among the memberS gen
erally. The design to rOn the Conven
tion in .the interest of. Cameronism by
introducing the owns system has proved
a failure of tbe,ring,anil the • result: ill
be that, in a- feri ibiyi, White, and his co
terie of small politicians will 'have spent
themselvei, and will. move to the rear,
where they belong, and bruins and inteli
,,ence march to front . It is predict
ed that the COnventton will stump oft
the ilifamons Cameron- system, but this
seems top sanguine by half.
