The recent elections furnish the most convincing evidence that Radi calism is soon to be dofeatorl and crushed all over the country, as it has been recently in Maine and California. Here aro somo figures that ought to cause a thorough shaking of tho Radical dry bones: Democratic gin in New Hampshire in Connecticut, 12,000 (Lincoln's mnjority in 1364 was 11,000 Democratic majority now, 892) Kentucky, Maryland, Vermont, California, 27,000 Maine, 14,000. Philadelphia Ledger notes the fact that conscience money is not a contribution peculiar only to the United States Treasury. Tbe British Exchequer also has a conscience fund, which, during tho present has amounted 25,435, a sum largo enough to pay the salary of the Chancellor of tho Exchequer. This fund, like tbe conscience money contributions in the United States, is m.ido up principally of small sums.

It is a very singular tact that only the small thieves ever have pangs of conscience Hufficiently strong to compel restitution for neither in Great Britain nor tlw United Status do wholesale treasury plunderers appear to be troubled in this way. Guy Fawkei in South America A Gunpowder Plot in Montevido, The London News publishes au account compiled from official documents, of a singular gyupowder plot nt Montevido: It was discovered by the statement of a German that another German, Paul Newmayer, had offered him two hundred dollars for one night's work iu dinging under an old house biicls of the government house. Newmayer told him that he was engaged in an "engineering experiment," but could not tell bim its nature, unless he would pledge himself to score-ey. This mnde him simpicious. The police authorities were nt onoo notified, Newmayer was arrested, and the house was searched.

In a small cellar, newly constructed, they found two barrels of gunpowder, three sucks, and a Rumford's electric multiplier in working order, and capable, acoording to Mr. Oldham, of the teleuraph ofiice, of igniting gunpowder at a distance of six miles. The wall of the cellar was broken in two places, apparently for the puriose of driving mines. An English engineer undertook to push the investigation still further. His first work was to search tho sewers for an accomplice, whom he found ih the house drain.

Following the main sewer he found, at a distance of one hundred and fifty feet from the cllar, an opening, in the direction of tbe windows of the saloon in which the councilsof the state are held. From this hole a mine had been driven to within six fet of the wall of the saloon, and in it were found the tools used by tbe operator. Three persons could have fin shed the mine in aix or seven hours. The prisoners accused one Captain Bertram as their employer. Ho ha escaped, it it supposed, to Chili.

Bamlnisoenoes of the War. The following communication goes to the heart. Thousands weep with tho writer over the graves of our dturly loved and fallen braves the glorious private soldiers, who, though they bore tbe now forbidden banner, will live immortal in the coming ages, when those who have not the inagnuuimity to drop one tear over their" graves, though (they may now riot in the ill-gottau wealth which such men gave their patriot blood to defend, will be forgotten and obscured forever: For tho PuRLie Linosa.l Comrades I Although tho editor so kindly intimated that tho deserving private was equally as welcome to a place in the columns of the Public Luiqkr au his leader, and paid tho highest tribute of respect to tho worthy private himself; yet, so far, I havo purposely avoided iu tcrmixing in my "reminiscences of the war" individual obituaries. Comrades I You may attribute this silence to indif ference. You may imagino that I care not for messmates who foil by my side, aud now sleep in their shallow coflinless graves on the bleak, red hills of Georgia, or beneath the shade of tho dense cedar thickets around Murfrecsboro.

Although, many of those that are sleeping there shared with me their scanty blanket when I had none, and the North wind was piercing forget them never. The word mother, a word that should be indelibly stamped upon every man's heart would ns soon bo effaced from my heart as tho names of those men. But, com' rades, I cannot stand upon the grave of a messmate, bo ho ever so dear, and write his obituary, when, in imagination I see around me so many litllo hillocks beneath which rest gallant comrades equally worthy. How can I stand upon the gravo of poor, quiet, patient. Serg't Gallagher, a part of whose brains fell unnn mv lacket when his heud wns carried away by a shall, on the Kenesaw line, and recount his surprising pat.ienco (being an Irishman) under the bitter taunts of his comrades, tho majority of whom were his countrymen, on account of his, bad English.

How can I recount his good, soldierly qualities, when in imagination I seo the appealing blue eyes of poor, brave, little Frank Wilson, the Memphian, peering out upon me from between the folds of his tattered blankets. He seems to say, as" ho lies thero with that fatal red spot on his forehead" Jack, was not I your mess-tuute for these three long years, and during that time did you ever see me flinch from danger No, Frank, I never did. In advancing to battle, thero were few men in our regiment and the 5th CoufedenUe could number many gal lant mn that saw your face; and in retreat there wore fewer still that'ever saw your back. Poor Frank I I will drop a tear to your memory, and let you sleep on, for I cannot proceed further when the dark eyes of Porter, the tall, gallant Indiauian, are flashing upon me from his shallow crave in tho bloody ground in front of Franklin as they used to flash in battle. lean imagino I hear him say: "Jack, have we not messed together, and are any of those you have mentioned braver than I No, no, Porter, I did uot say that, for nono wero bruver than you.

You threw down the officer's sword and rushed'for the private's deadly rifle, Behind was no pjace for you. Near Porter I see stretched the huge form of that brave Irishman, Dick Cahill, the infant," as we used to call him. An in fant only to his friends a giant to his enemies. And a giunt he almost was indeed, for he stood near seven feet, and weighed near three hundred pounds. A bullet pierced his great, noble heart at Franklin.

He was always there when wanted; and it is surprising that one who occupied so much spneo escaped so long. Comrades, I cannot proceed further, for near Dick lies Suyers, the young Louis- villia.ii, and around hi in, ntid on every battlefield, from the Ohio to the Roanoke, our dead are scattered. Wherever the Army of Tennessee uufurlrd its bunueis, or thundered with its guns, our dead there lie. Then, boys, us I canuot write an obituary for each of our gallant dead, let' gather together from the distant battlefields, where they lio sleeping, the Americans, the Irishmen, tho Knglish- men and tho Germans that composed the old fifth, and make one funeral pile of them all, and over th? urn that contains their ashes I will write for all, tho follow ing short obituary This urn contains the ashea of brave men and true patriots, who died ia defense of their own and adopted country." Then, comrades, as this is their wake, and rivers ot tears would not bring them back into linx, and hilst the spirits of our comrades are hovering around ns, let us drink a farewell bumper to their memory, ami our toast Bhall be May liberty uover have worse, or tyranny half so good friends as those have been whose spirits are hovering above us." J- C. Xemphis Doctors Reforms Demanded.

Correspondence LlncKS.l A curious statement, by some means, has found iu way into the columns of city papers. are gravely told that at last, in this hapless city, lithotomy is skillfully performed. There are absolutely surgeons in Memphis who can safely remove a stone from the bladder. There is no longer" bow down in gratitude and wondur there is no longer any necessity for those afflicted with to visit Northern iiJ JUJ Memphis surgeons have done the work, and newsmongers have made the welkin ring. Sciunce and skill are both required at the hands of those who have performed this operation successfully.

Both the principal and assistant surgeon in the case beforo us deserve all lhat is said in their praiso. They have established reputations which hardly required any vainglorious announcement of achicrmouts in professional art which other Memphis surgeons have often accomplished. Robards, now no more, Brown, Fenner, Avent, Ramsey, Keller, Taylor, and others, for aught we know, have performed this self-same operation. Avent, formerly surgeon-general of Tennessee, has often relieved sufferers like him who owes so much to the skill of these gentle-meui We would derogate in nothing from their claims to excellence in surgery, but can hardly admit that iu having a stono removed from the bladder, a new era has dawned upon the history and progress of surgery in this city. We were induced to advert to this incident by the reflection that in doing justice to the few there no aecessity for wrong to tho medical profession of Memphis.

Moreover, it has been said of this learned profession that its keystone maxim of ethics rested upon self-adulation. No step is taken without it Even reporters for the press, in violation of rules established by the American Medical Association, may hereafter be called in with midwives, dance attendance npon manakins, watoh processes of lithotomy and Csesarean operations. To the very extent that the medical profession has lost caste, to this extent have its members deemed self-adulation and detraction from the just claims of others their pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night, beneath which they gather ambrosial manna. Ponniless friends, seedy reporters, gossiping old women, constitute the stoek in trade of very many gentlemen of tho profession, whose genius for books and solid professional attainments is little as their dovotion to goose-gabble upon the etreots is tireloss. The idlest of all idlers are tho incapable doctors.

Having many hours of inaction, endless leisure is devoted to endless criticisms upon the conduct of rivals in tho'healing art. If there be thoso who condemu us in giving utterance to these reflections npon the habits of this learned profession, let them saunter for an hour or 'two along the Doctors Row" Doc tors' Commons "thoy will find the greater number of the sons of Galen bookless. Politics concern them more than physic. Progress in science and professional discoveries are rarely is- cu8.sJ. In fact it has been found, for this reason, impossible to maintain a medical association for local professional advancement hese criticisms upon doctors, as a cluss, havo no reference to gentlemen a.Vove named.

They stand descrvedlv high in public estimation. It only happened that the incident to which we adverted and the manner of its publi cation, gave an opportunity of suggesting reforms, which every educated gentle- uiun, who would dignify his art, must surely approve, and which are worthy the attention of tho legal and clerical professions as well. Galen. Oxford. England, and its Colleges.

Oxford is a town of some thirty thou sand inhabitants; but most of the houses are two or three hundred years old, quaint enough, but pretty uor convenient, and there is a surprising lack of spacious and elegant residences. But the whole towa seems but an adjunct to the University. The University is Oxford. Take that away that and its belongings, and you would have lolt only a shabby old country villnge. The University covers, I believe, mora than a square mile of colleges, all built neurly upon too same pattern one, two, or three great hollow squares of massive buildings, including chupel, dining hall, chambers, recitation halls, etc.

It is a city of collezes, with stately churches, great libraries, museums, all the magni ficent appendages of the grandest university in the world. There is nothing in America with which I can compare Were every cojlege in tbe united States gathered into one group, it would not be much by the side of Oxford. Oxford is very learned, but it does not know how old it is. It can't remember. It is all clear enough as far back as Alfred the Great He lived at Oxford a student king, and some say he founded the University; others that he only rrstored it after the destructive incursions of the Danes.

However that may be, if you care for English antiqui tics go to Oxford. All the old colleges wpre once monasteries. They grew ont of the monastic system. In fact, those lazy and ignorant fellows, the monks, nppoar to have founded every famous university in Enrop. Take Christ Church at Oxford for example.

8l. Krideswide founded a monastery herein 710. The Prior (iuimond commenced the cathedral, which is the college chapel. in 1120. a part of which, and many think the hot part, still remains then that magnificent Cardinal Vvolsey, in ua.

founded the college as it now exists, a monument of his princely character. I do not wonder at all that Oxford is High Church, with strong tendencies to ritual and Rome. The glories of Oxford, in her colleges, churches, foundations, libraries and architecture, being almost i Lpntireiy to tne aarx ages; ana wnaiever nas been well done for three hundred years past has keen in imitation ol mode's ot an older date, bnquesnon ably, whatever the visitor to Oxford finds most noble and most beautiful belongs to tbe twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and earlier half of the sixteenth centuriea. After that you come to debased Gothic, mongrel, Anglo- Italian, and the urecian and mixed styles of architectural abominations. Cor.

NO. 14. An Incident in the Tallow Fevtr in Texas. By permission we publish the follow-ing brief letter from one of the sufferers by the dreaded pestilcuco in Texas, to his brother, a well known and respected citizon of Memphis. It portrays but one of the thousands of heartrending instances of suffering among tho smitten communities in the fever districts, and can but be read with sad interest: II ill, Tex ih, Sept.

3, 18(17. Dear Brotp.ek: I am sitting propped up in a chair, and will attempt to answer yonr letter which came to me more than a woek since, but was not nblo to 'read it for several days. I left Houston, three weeks ago, to escape yellow fever, which was killing everybody as it went I gave op my business to save my life, but have narrowly escaped. I was taken down with the fever as soon as I got here, which was tbe same day I left Houston. I was not allowed to stop at any house where it was knows that I had fever.

I found an old barn at the edge of Chapell Hill, and crawled iuto it to die. I have no bed, but some old army blankets which were sent tne by an old negro. I have not seen a soul sinco I was taken down, which has been two weeks, except one doctor, who camo to me at first, and said he would treat the cu.se for one hundred dollars in gold. I huvo suffered a thousand deaths in this lonely old barn, with no one to cheer and comfort me but rats and bugs. Houston is almost entirely deserted, aud business is completely suspended.

Your brother, The New Delegate to Congress from Montana. James M. Cavanangh, the recontly elected Democratic delegate to Congress from Montana, is a character in his way. He is an Irish-Yankee by birth, combining the rollicking humor of one nationality with tho keenness of the other. He was one of the firat Representatives in admitted from the new State of Minnesota, in 1859.

After serving for two years in the House, Cavanaugh was defeated for a re election, and becoming disgusted with the black look of politics in Minnesota, migrated to Montana, Mr. Cavanaugh was a Douglas delegato to tho Charleston Convention in 18G0, and after its sessions wore over, being himself from Lowell, was selected to follow Ben. Butler to his home, where ha exposed to an immense crowd, who refused Butler a hearing, how the since famous "spoons" Bold oat Douglas for Jeff. Davis. Butler was hooted from the mooting, and Cavanaugh remained the hero of the Y.

World. Zxoitlng Scene in a Hew York Court. While the examination of Dan Noble, the prisoner in the Royal Insurance bond robbery case, was proceeding at the Tombs on Monday, before Jndgo IIo-gan, a scene occurred which for several minutes created the greatest, sensation. A Mrs. Gilchrist waa on tho witness stand, and was undergoing a cross-examination with regard to her former husband, John Keene, who the witness testified was dead.

She said he was her second husband, and had just finished relating the circumstances of her marriage, and the subsequent death of her husband, when the counsel, glancing towards the door of an ante-room, called "John Keene and the man "(or the ghost, if the witness told the truth) walked forth.
