Sec'y. : HYDROPHOBIA. [From Hall's Journal of Health for April] lowed by what ie ealled “hydrophobia” | ner, | The bite of a dog, while being bea- en or misused, inducing in him a feel ing of irritation, anger, or excessive al arm, may give rise to hyvdrophobin in man, if the man is himself in a state of anger. A few months ago a man commenced whipping a dog, and was bitten ; his wife was litten at the same time, but was a mere spectator, In a short time the man died, with the ordinary symptoms of hydrophobin, while his wife suffered on ill effect.” An accour® of this was given in the June number of last year. Within a week of this writing, Mr. Ludlam, a respectable and worthy citizen of Brooklyn, died of hydropho- bia, who had been bitten four weeks before by a dog while he was whipping it : the wound healed rapidly. The dog had given no indications of mad- ness before the whipping, nor after wards, PHRENSY. After the first few seconds have possad in battle, a kind of phrensy takes prassession of the soldier and he fears nothing. Cases are given where a man has killed another, and yet, after knowing that the vietim was dead, continued hacking the unresting body to pieces, or beating out the brains without be- ing able to give any other reason for it than he seemed “possessed.” Some parents may remember a feeling of in- creasing anger, of rising wrath, while chastising a child and sometimes have so lost all sense [of reason and judg- ment, as to continue the beating until the child was dead. A case of this kind occurred in this State not a great while ago, remembered by many who read ALL this, Whether this phrensied condi- tion of the mind has any influence on the physical condition of the blood or nervons fluid, rendering the body lia- ble to certain symptoms, on certain conditions, has not as yet been deter | mined ; but one thing seems to be very certain, and every reader is interested i knowing the terrible fact that there is such a thing as IMAGINARY HYDROPHOBIA, | which is as terribly and as surely futal | as the more real form of the disease. | Some years ago we gave a notice of a | cuse of then recent occtrrence, the | facts being known to us personally, | where a tena year before by a dog, but the | wound had healed and had been for- (a friend of his was suffering from hy- ener died with all the generally be- lieved symptoms of the disease. { os . . “pr . | consciousness of an inability to do it, i | when the symptom is observed the | as hydrophobia as a matter of course; | but the actual fact is that dogs who | suffer from real hydreophobia do not | have a fear of water more than once in Blaine observed it but ounce in several hundred cases, a handred cases. < | his whole hfe. Wheng Mr. L. was taken ill, a month | after the bite, and after the wound had he Chad a dread of it; that his mind had terrible disease.” This shows that | | been dwelling on the subject ; that he [ wis nervously sensitive on that point. | Almost every one believes that a hy- | drophobic man*{shudders at the very | sight of water, and that he will bite We have seen that | the fear of water is not | others if he ean. ¢ . t characteris- | tic symptom of the disease; and we know, further, that men never attempt ‘to bite others until they become de- Y ot, Mr. L., believing that | the fear of wat ranged. 3 + was a symptom of the | disease, could not swallow a drop; and believing that the hydrophobic where { inclined to bite others, he warned his | family to keep away, lest he should hite them ; thus he had the symtoms, he thought peculiar to the disease, but in striking prominence, which i | which were not necessarily any part of Lit; hence, itis clear that he died of a | disease induced by the imagination, | Only about one in twenty of chose bit- | ten by dogs actually mad became hy- drophobic themselves, Children are attacked within thirty days after the | bitéd ; grown persoos, whe have greater | power of resistance against the ill ef fects, are not attacked for several | months, Mr. John S. Roads, an aged and re- spectable eitzen of Marblehead died on I'riday last from the eif:cts of the bite of a eat, which happened four weeks before his death. to punish the animal for scratching a child, when the animal bit him, and the bite resulted in his death as stated. Here a cat, under the irritation, of a whipping, gives a fatal bite. The fang of a rattlesnake is hollow; at the bottom of it is a” sack or pouch which is filled with its venom, but this venom is ejected through the fangs into the wound which the fang first makes only when the snake is alarmed, irrita- Ile was attempting ted or angered. After Mr. L. had whipped his dog, and had been bitten, he sat down on the sofa, and the animal as if to meke friends, came up to Mr. L. and crouch- ed under the sofa behind his feet; a little child attempted to pull the dog out, and was bitten, but no ill result followed the bite. Y'hese narrations seem to show that “hydrophobia,”” or rather death by convulsions, occurs in winter as well as in summer. That it follows the bites from convulsions. That animals not mad, may inflict wounds while in fear or anger, which will cause death by the, same convulsions which end real hydrophobia. That dogs and cats are a nuisance anyhow. That there ought to be no dogs and cats. That if you want to wallop dogs and cats, it is bet- ter to do it at a distance witha long pole, and not be holding them’ up by | the tail to be vexed and irritated, There are a good many people who would bite as vigorously as the ani mals, if treated similarly, But if you will have dogs and cats swarming | around you, aud will hold them up by caudle extremities, and will whip them, land are bitten in return, why then | “As ye make your bed, so ve maun ile doon.” i mp tt —— Lisson, April 6,—<The mail stea- 'mer from Rio Janeiro has arrived.

To treat these (questions as they should bo treated would certainly take ly by and see her rights trampled upon, i i abridged, aye, sir, her very existence as wrong as it is debasing, as outrage- t is trae, as has been asserted here that article five of the Federal Consti- tution provides for the amendment of that instrument, in precisely the man- ner that this so called amendment is proposed to be made; but it is equally true that that same constitution limits ters only as come within the jurisdie- tion of ths General Government. Two of made in the same article which provi- these limitations were expressly ded a mode of amendment, and others result from the general character of the within it. Among the general principles under- lying our Federal Constitution, which operates as a limitation upon the right of amendment, is the fact that ours is change in the Constitution, or any ad- dition to it, which would transform our (rovernment into amonarchy would be a legitimate amendment. Such a change, instead of being an amendment would be rank revolution ; and even if the revolutionists were able to pass it through the prescribed forms and put it into practical effect, its validity, if it had any, would not result from the legitimate right of amending the Con: stitution, but upon the despotic prin- ciple that might makes right. Another general principle which operates as a restraint upon the right of amendment is explicit]y expressed in article ten of the amendments, which declares; “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitu- tion nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively or to the people,” And section eight of that instrument sets forth plainly what powers were delegated to the law making power of the United States, as well as those prohibited by the States, and nowhere, at no place, or under no construction, can there be found au- thority for this attempted usurpation of the reserved rights of the States. The question of suffrage—the elective franchise—to which this proposed amendment relates, is precisely one of those questions which have been “re- served to the States respectively or to the people.” By no word or syllable of the Constitution has the Federal Vol. 2.—No. 1. | Gevernment heen invested with any power or authority in regard to this | subject. The two Houses of Congress, | even by a unanimous vote, have no more constitutional right or power to propose such an amendment—no, not amendment, but revolution—as that which we have under consideration, then the Parliment of Great Britain, the Corps Legislatiff’ of France or the Cortes of Spain. It is a subject not within its jurisdiction, and the people of the States, whose rights are to be trample] upon and crushed out by this infamous surpatioun, would be justifia- ble in revolt—will be cowards if they do not resist. Why, sir, if three-fourths of the Sta- | tes, through the General Government, | have the power to strike the word | “white” from the Constitution of Penn- sylvania, as this pretended amendment proposes, has it not the right to strike out any worl, sentence or section with- | in it? Ifit can strike out the word | ewhite,” can it not strike out the very first section of the first article, which creates this body, now ready to admit by its votes that thes powers belong to the General Governmant? 1 ask you, in all eandor, where is the assurance that the same power that now seeks to annul one of the provisions of our | State Constitution, will not, before an- other year, attempt to annull all ? If Congress, endorsed by the Legislatures of three fourths of the States, can say who shall vote within our Common- wealth, eanit not also say who shall be our judges and our jurymen, our v i office-holders aud our law makers, as | well as what rights we shall enjoy an | what religious fuith we shall profess ? If Pennsylvania, ounce proud, peerless Pennsylvania, has not the power to fix the qualifications of electors within her own bread borders, pray tell me what power she does possess ? The fundamental prineiple of our Government is, that governments “de- rive their just powers from the consent of governed,” or in other words, that governmental authority is inherent originally in the people themselves. In forming their governments they delegate certain powers to those gov- ernments and give them a certain gen- eral or limited jurisdiction over certain governmental questions. The powors of the government are limited by the instrament by which those powers have been delegatad. Hence neither the State or Federal Government are absolute over all questions. The pow- ers of each have been delegated by the people—the sovereign source of a 1 po- litical power; and in the written Constitutions is expressly = declared what powers are delegated, while ths omnipotent voice of the people, like the voiee of the Almighty addressed to the sea, has said, “Thus far mayest thou go and no farther; and here shall they proud waves be staid.” We, Mr. Speaker, the immediate representatives of the_people of Penn- sylvania, have no power over this sub- ject. Our own State constitution de- fines the qualifications of voters in thie Commonwealth, and this Legislature has no power, cither directly or indi- rectly, to change its provisions on the subject 30 as to be binding upon our own people, much less have we the power to bind the people of other States by any authorized action of ours. To amend our State Constitu- tion requires that two successive Legis- latures propose the amendment, and then that a majority of the qualificd voters of the State ratify the amend- ment at the next general election. We have taken an oath to support that Constitution, and yet a majority of this House, with that oath still fresh upon their lips, are ready to violate if, by voting to allow an unauthorized power to strika from it the most im- portant provision it contains. This question of suffrage isa question whic! even tha States as States in thoic gov. ermental capacity have no jurislic tion over. It is fixed and regulated by the Constitutions of the several States, and no power save the power that made them—the people—— an al- ter, change or ame:d. Why, Speaker, this act of usurpation part of the Goneral Government awe the State Logislatur.s, to fix the quali- fications of voters in the several States, is assuming authority over sunjects that even the crowned beads of Europe fear to exercise.
