We have already reported a few of the more
Important and remarkable snrglsal operations
performed by Dr. J. A. Jones, 'pt New York,
•inoe his arrival in this city. The oases are
*Uke, Interesting to. the public, and creditable
to the skill and talent of the surgeon, who,
’ta of the increased demand for
his -services, has been compelled to prolong
his stay for a few weeks more, at the Monon
gahela House. He Is unquestionably one of
the most successful surgeons that has ever
visited oar city, and those requiring surgical
or medical treatment should endeavor to con
sult him before he leaves. We append a few
of hU oases not before published:
. Alphas tfyer,eon of Joseph Myer, of tho
firm of k Son, 434 Penn street. Be
moved four polypi from the tympanio mem
brane, leaving ine -ear sound ;and perfeot.
This was a very difficult and delicate opera
tion, and when performed the hearing was as
good as in tho perfeofear.
Miss Elvira Nealons, of Centre- avenuo.
Serious deformity of one eye removed, and
sight made perfect.
Moses Bobbins, residing near Greeneburg,
Westmoreland county. The patient is seven
ty-four years of age, and has becniquitc deaf
for forty years. He has been nnder‘ueatihont
but three weeks and reports himself perfectly
cured. This was a very difficult case.
Son of H. W. Bnffum, 26 Market street.
This boy’s eye had grown fast to the lid, hot
only producing deformity,but also interfering
with the motion of the eye. This required a
nice operation, which was performed in a few
minutes, giving a natural appearanoo, motion
and sight to the eye.
John Philiips,Coal YaUey,Allegheny coun-
Bight eye deformed and disfigured from
birth. Thu-sight was useless, and confused
toe vision oTtho other eye.-'Deformity imme
diately removed and eye mado natural! a ’
Beaaold Trererstright, 23 Carroll street,
Allegheny, cross-eye straightened.
Bon of Mrs. Allen, residing oh toe Yough
iogheny river, in this county. This patient
waa abont five years old, and had been olnb
feoted from birth. Deformity successfully re
moved. . ,
;. Misi Anna T. Young, wilding at SIB Krit
street, had both eyes straightened. The re
sult of this case was very gratifying; - ,
George Piper, Millward, Westmoreland
county, aged fifty years. Eye turned in from
. iafanov, and right impMred. Operstloa ro
.stored both sight and appearanoe.
' The persons above named ;oan be seed at
any timb, and they will, substaniiate what is
nere stated. ...Allwho-nre.affiicted.in any
way, bnt particularly those suffering fromeye
and ear eomplaints/ should'thotild not fail to
Mil upon Dr. Jones before he leaves the city.
J * A. Bid for the Supreme; Bench.
; The . Butternut newspapers jare lauding
greatly the recent opinion of Chief Justfco
Lowxie, in the case of Hodgson, of West
Chester, whose 'paper was suppressed by toe
United States Marshal, for disloyalty.
:So far as.l canJearn he is particnlarly em
phatic on the>iubjeot of perronol liberty, bad
treats the Government of the United States as
-•“forblgn’Vone. •
When he seised the Commissioners of -this
-county and carried them three hundred miles
away from home, and then fined and im--
prisoned them—regretting that; he ooutd do
no more—for their refussl to vxecutehlaw
Which he had himself solemnly. and
still believes to be uncoiatitntional—he does
not seem to have been quite so tender on that
.subject, .'a'
j -i" e hpyo not stated, however, why it U that
ho chareoteriasa our Government as a£* for
eign” OUei. . r-
Ti it because it is alisn to his sympathies
or is it intended as a bid for a nomination
for which he is understood to be a bandi
date? - - ; “
His chances are hotoing—as It Is admitted
on all hands—unless he can recommsud him
self to the Butternuts—or nnleaa-some .loyal
Republican newspapers will condescend to fire
a snot or two at him.
As I would greatly deprecate such a calam
ity, I, therefore, take the hint, and take my
self incontinently ont of the way. Z.

The final passage of toe Senate’s Conscrip
tion bill in the House, to-day, by the over
whelming majority of 116 to 40, gives grekt
satisfaction, contrary to the general expecta-'
tion. The bill was atleastpeanad to amend
ments, and was divested of two or three un
important features, on which the tory democ
racy have, for the last three days, based all
their opposition. The point to whioh they
urged toe most objection was that authorising
the Provost Marshals to arrest persons who
resisted or interfered with the draft, and hold
them till the draft was completed before hand
ing them over to the hivil authorities. It
was amended eo as them delivered
over at onoo for trial in olvil courts. Anothbr'
point authorising the Provost Marshals To
arrest for treasonable practices was wholly
strioken out, the existing legislation being
thought sufficient.
A vigorous effort was made to strike lout
the clause, authorising the Secretary of
to hire substitutes, drafted persons paying
not over three hundred dollars for
but it failed. A clause was added providing,
for the surer punishment of spies. Non# ef
the vital features of the bill are touched in
aoy way. An analysis of the vote, by whioh
it passed, shows some curious reaolti. Eefr
tucky, which has been pore dependent on
