Dr. James Kevins Hyde repeated to the Medical society yesterday afternoon, at Ko. txx South Clark street a lecture deliv ered by him at Kush Medical College, Dee. 21, in regard to a ease of leprosy in this city which he had then just discover ed. He exhibited the patient, the first lep er that a good many of the doctors had ever seen, and gave* the history of the case. He couldn't describe the livatineut, as unfortunately, there is no treatment of the disease. The leper is a man 42 years old, and was bom in Oswego, X. V. Ilis lather was of Frcneli ami his mother of Dutch descent. lie was always healthy, and the whole family were healthy. At the age of Hi he ran away front home and weut on a whaling voyage in the Okhotsk Sc:i. On the cruise fie spent a fortnight at Honolu lu. On his next voyage lie deserted his ship at Honolulu, and stayed there seven months. In the course of another end-e he si>ent tive months there, and it must have been there that he contracted the dis ease, though it dill not develop itself until after many years. Leprosy is an epidem ic in the Sandwich Islands, and at Mole ka there is a hospital for lepers. The patient returned to the United States in 1MC1, and enlisted in the Fourth New Hampshire Volunteers. In IMC.'t he was transferred to the Vary and served in the Minnesota and the Qiiccii. In the same year he was -sent to the Asiatic station, when1 he served on the Iroquois, which stopped at the various Asiatic ports, but it is not likely that the patient had any op portunity of contracting the disease at this t in In lMti t he served on the Tuscan.' ra for the West Indies. Since lHtU lie has been cruising on the coast of the United States. The disease began to make its appear ance lour years ago, but lie had no idea what it was, ami no one else discovered it imtil Dr. Hyde saw him early last Decem ber, a few months after he arrived in this city. His disease is aim-the tie leprosy. He has no eye-lashes or eyebrows. His hands, feet and legs, as far up as his knees, an- utterly without sensation. Neither the lancet nor any degree of cold has anV effect on him. The tint of the skin is yellowish bronze, and the whole body is covered w ith white, or yellowish white spots, caused by the implication of the nerves, which always occurs in this form of leprosy. The eruption is in the form of large blisters where the white patches occur. The earn- is beyoud hone and the patient is in a most pitiable condition. He was in the county hospital, but was put out when It was known that he had leprosy. Tl.e disease is not in the least contagious, but the hospital authorities thought it was. The mail is without friends, Ibml, clothing or shelter, and is absolutely dependent on what charity sonic physicians have given him. This miivsthetic leprosy is tlie white or Asiatic leprosy, ami is the same that is described in the Pentatench. Absolutely nothing is known of the cause of the disease. There arc not over list lepers ill the United States. These arc fotmil in a small colony In South Carolina, among some of the Creoles of Louisiana, hi a Scandinavian colony in Norway, Minn., among the Chinese of California', and the rest are scattered cases in New York, Maryland and Illinois. This is the fifth ease of which there is any record in this city. Two were found among the Scandi navians; one was found in the comity hos pital several year- ago, and one was ex hibited by (>r. Ilolmbod of Stockholm, who was visiting here. In Sweden there are quite a number of cases of leprosy, and a hospital has lieen provided for them. Four eases have lieen reported from Nor way, Minn., and two from MimieajHilis.

He is sound in principle, an anti-slavery man and a republican from his lioyhood, a good hard-money man, and sure to have convictions mid follow them. Tliis much his chief com petitor takes pleasure in writing hastily at the late hour which announces his nom ination." In Illinois, the republicans of the legis lature have nominated Gen. John A. Lo gan. The vote stood in caucus: 80 for Ixigan, 20 for Oglesby, the present incum bent of the seat. Logan served in the Senate from 1871 to 1877, and was then succeeded by Judge Davis. lie distin guished himself in the army, served well in the Senate, but was thrown out of his seat by local political disturbances and complications. The republicans of the Colorado General Assembly have nominated for the Senate, 1W. M. 11. Hill, of Denver. Ho will suc ceed Senator Chaffee. He was nominated on the fourth ballot. He is said to be an able, energetic, basiness-liltc, refined and scholarly gentleman. There is no doubt of tiic election of the above-uamed nominees, or tiiat each will serve the country and the republican part) faithfully ami with ability. Protection for Working-Women. We hare received a circular ofthe Women's Educational and Industrial Union, of-Boston. The object of the Union is to promote the interests of working-women, by providing them with legal protection from the frauds and impositions of dishonest employers ami others, without charge. This institution has in the fifteen years of its existence adjusted over six thousand vases, and collected by le gal process and paid to working-women, in sums varying from a few cents to twenty dol lars or mure, upward* of twenty-one thousand dollars.

The witness did nut know the ruffians: he was frightened away, and is now working on the river. J. Koss Stew art, a prominent colored poli tician of Tensas, and member of the Legis lature, testified that threats of violence pre vented the republicans from nominating a ticket: at the democratic convention Col.

In regard to the establishment of a color line by negroes, the w itness explained that he got friends to re port him for the i (flee of Sheriff: they signed a paper to that effect, but instead of putting his name on the paper, they simply wrote, "A colored mailthis was the only fact upon which was bused the ri port that he persuaded negroes to promise to vote for none hut col ored men: it w as on that report that the whites announced that Stewart and Fairfax had drawn tile color line; on the contrary, said the witness, “we nominated a ticket composed of wldte and colored people: after ward it got so hot that we bad to take tin* negro names off of the ticket, and nominated a full white ticket; this was the Douglass ami Bland ticket: A.

I overheard Judge Cordell say that the white men liad only to go around with shot-guns on their shoulders, and ali ordinary negroes would he sufficiently fright ened; such men as Stewart, however, would have to he killed: I got warnings; mv wife heard that on the night before the election I was to lie hanged: I at once left the house and fled over the Ipvee: I heard mv dog harking, and looking over the levee, 1 saw the Sheriff and twenty-five men nt my door; my wife says they asked for me; I went over into Mississippi."

C. whose leg was broken some time since by being thrown from his mule while out hunting which was ampu tated and his life for some time despaired of afterwards, is reported as rapidly recovering, and was able last week to sit on his porch for some time and give some attention to writing. He will probably be able to take bis seat in the U. S. Senate, in March, to which he has recently been elected. Judging from the tone of recent telegrams from Kaleigh, Gov. Vance of N. C., may be his associate. At a caucus of the democratic members of the General Assembly held there on the 13th. of January, Hon. A. S. Merrlmon withdrew from the contest for United States Senatorship, leaving Gov. Vnnce in posses sion of tlie field, who has probably before this been nominated. I forbear making any c omments. The record of these men and of North ami South Carolina during the war and since, is well known. Since the reassembling of the Virginia General Assembly, the all-absorbing subject lias been tbo State debt and bow to dispose of it. It will be well for the State when this vexed question which lias been agitating tlve political water* for the last few veers shall he set at rest. Its indebtedness is over *33, UOO.iKV) of interest bearing bonds, ut six pier cent., held cldetly by Itaring Bros., Brown Bros. Botliehilds and others in Louisiana. For a long time a conference with the bond holders has been looked forward to ami de sired, when the amount of the State debt, the revenues derived under the present tax available to meet it, the impoverished condi tion of the tax pavers, losses sustained bv the war, Ac., should be freely and fully con sidered, that if possible au adjustment might lie agreed upon with the creditors on the basis of a three or four per rent, bond in Heu of those now held. After much debate, and several amend ment*, a long preamble nnd resolution was finally adopted, on the 13th, by the Senate, having previously coins from the House, in viting the creditors to a conference in the city of Richmond, on the 22d inst. Last week, in harmony with the sugges tions of the Kvangelieal Alliance, evening prayer meetings were held by the pastors of tlie different churches in tlio city of Danville. They were held in rotation at the different churches, and led in turn bv the different pas tors. The exercises consisted of Scripture readings, short lectures, prayers nnd hymns, ami were participated in by lay members, and pastor* a* well, and It is believed tliat much good wa. dune in asakening a deeper rejig louf fcciinjr in flic oniircJi cxclt ing thought awtftiactioo. «>ut a broad. r and more Catholic spirit in all. “Blind Tom,” tlie great musical prodigy of the age, discourses sweet music to thu Dan villian# again 'to-morrow nfglit.

Among the pardons granted last year was one accorded to a girl who had committed larceny. She was released that she might at tend the funeral of her sister.

Here is a novel question in ethics which we never remember to have seen touched upon. —Unslon Journal Illustrating the predicament of the Potter Committee, Heed of Maine, a member, tells a story. Potter was advising with him as to wliat should be done when Heed exclaimed: “(lit! this ain’t our funeral! l)o as you like with the corpse. I’p in Maine,” continued Heed, “there was a country funeral. The master of ceremonies, owing to the healthy nature of the country, was a little green ns to the course of precedure. Having delivered a short exhortation he addressed the relatives of the deceased, exclaiming: “The cousins of the corpse will now advance and look at him!’ In this affair,” says Reed, “we want it dis tinctly understood that we are not the corpse’s cousins.”— Washington Special. The Maine Industrial School for Girls, un der the charge of Rev. l)r.

It averages thirty-one in mates. having had eleven eommittuls and discharged nineteen during the year. It has sent out thirty-three girls who are now in com fortable homes, and doing as well as could he reasonably expected. Its conveniences for receiving girls should be enlarged. It is far cheaper to prevent crime, and to educate ami train neglected children, than to attempt to cure it and to punish criminals.—Ziuns Her ald. MA TXE LEGISLATURE. SENATE. Monday, Jan. 20.

A large and interested congregation was present at the Free Baptist church, last Sab bath evening, to listen to the lecture by the pastor on “True Heroism.” A most interest ing social meeting followed in the vestry. Mr. Penney announced that the subject of the lecture next Sabbath evening would be on Temperance. Prayer meetings are hclil this week, at the Methodist vestry, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings. Gen. Hall, Hon. Josiah II. Drummond, Hon. S. H. Illake, Congressman Mnreh and (too.

Shea of this city walked fifteen miles in Town Ilall, Waterville, Saturday evening, in the remarkable time o,' 2 hours and 5 minutes. Ills opponent was Mr. Stone of Portland, whom he beat by 2 miles and 2 laps. Shea made one of hi* miles in# min utes, the fastest time of any Augusta pedes trian. Many of the young people in this city pat ronize the skating rink at Hallowed. This ia to be a busy week in Augusta. On Wednesday and Thursday, the men and women of Maine, will meet in mass temper ance convention at Granite Hall, to consider the present aspect of the temperance cause, and devise incans to successfully carry it for ward. This will draw together a large num ber of the thinking men and women of the State, who arc interested in tbi* noble cause. There will be several very important hearings before legislative committees. The Commit tee on Fisheries have assigned this afternoon for a hearing on the porgy bill and for the protection of the shore fisheries. On Wod nvs •Uy evening, the druggists' hill will be considered by the special committee on tem perance, in the Senate chamber. There is an opportunity for both those who are opposed and thoac who are in favor of the bill, to appear and lie heard. The annual meeting of the Maine editor* and publishers is to be held on Thursday evening, and continuing through Friday. The literary exercise*, open to the public, will be held in the Senate chamber, Friday afternoon, and a grand reception has been tattered the member* of the Association and I adieu in the evening, by P. 0. Vickery, Esq. Mr. W. E. Easily, who w as lu re last fall, is reading in Aroostook county. Attorney General's Report The report of the late Attorney General, ITon. L. A. Emery, was yesterday laid before the legislature in printed form. I.ike nil of Mr. Emery's reports, it is written clearly and understanding!)-, and will be read with interest by all. During the past year there hare been in the State three trials for murder, besides several for manslaughter. Mr. Emery thinks that this furnishes no reason or argument for a return to the death penalty, and ho la satisfied that its abolition has made the punishment of crime more cer tain. He regards statistics gathered from a limited Held, as of little value, and proving but little. During the three years since the abolition of the death penalty, there hare been five convictions in eases heretofore capital. During the years lS7:l-4-6, just prior to the abolition of the death penalty.there were four convictions. In 1H(>7. under the death |>enalty. there were six capital trials ami three convictiiuu and death sentences. Thus it will be aeon that nothing satisfactory can he argued either wav from statistic*. He favors the abolition of Coroner's inquests and speaks strongly of the evils of export testimony. One hundred and nine sentences to county jails have been imposed during the vear. The sum of $67,472.00 has been paid for the support of prisouers in county jails, without reckoning Aroostook or Piscataquis. Result or the Fair. Wc are informed by Mr. Oscar Holwny, Treasurer of the Augusta Soldiers' Monu ment Association, that the gross receipts of the Fair were, in round numbers, $1600; the net receipts will be about $1000, to he ap propriated towards the monument, the erec tion of which may now be regarded as an as sured fact. This includes the subscription of $86 of H. H. llamlen. the $10 of Mr. Stratton, the money paid in for memberships, Ac. The result is indeed gratifying. gtttri Clak The meeting of the club Sunday afternoon was very largely attended, the hall being crowded to its utmost capacity, and many were turned away. Able addresses were made by Hon. II. 1). Coontbs of the Senate, Messrs. Poor ami Wadsworth of the House, and others. Eighteen signed the pledge. As our reporter came along Water street lost night, shivering in the chill night air. and drawing his overcoat tightly about him. he thought, “now is the time for colds and suffer, and tbeifi?ousts MT* tvn,“-—Handnsky (phio^ "The Signs of the Tlints.*’ The second of the course of lectures at the First Baptist c hurch was delivered last even ing by Uev. F. W. Bakunian of Auburn. The subject of the lecture was “The Signs of of the Times,” and the lecturer said tl at he should dwell ujarn the dark aspects oftl.e sub ject. Our countrymen, he remarked, are fhlly belli upon praising themselves and everything American; hut while they arc thus boasting of their country and its wonders, they fail to observe sooie of the ominous signs i f the times. It is to he remarked that the past century has been most wonderful in its histo ry. Progress has been marvelous in all the arts and appliances of life, as in all those things especially pertaining to the moral and philanthropic relations of society. The steam boat. telegraph, locomotive, cylinder steam printing press, and all implements |ccrtaining to agricultural matters have been invented or vastly improved. But the question of self government is to be determined on this conti nent and the one important thing that con cerns us is—what is the character of the peo ple as he Bring on the question of self-gov ernment. and what influences do we cee at work indicating danger to our instutiol»? 'I he first evil sign in our present dny s the lack of moral honesty in our own people. It shows itself in sham work: How rare is it to find n real, thorough piece of vork. I »ur workmen deal in shoddy and outside adornment, while true strength and honest work is lost sight of. Flimsy houses, frail steamers, huge mills that are traps to decay people to death, are built by unfaithful work men; and there is but little honesty in it all. This lack of integrity is seen again in the ex tensive adulte ration of food, drugs, confec tionery, nearly every article in use in the family—all are constantly adulterated to th* great injury of health and to the short* ning of life. We see tld« lack of integrity nlso in the business habits of the present age. How dishonest nre the tricks of trade so called—| utting false marks upon goods— the failures in business, the defalcations. It is a sad thing that so many good nu n are led awav into these evil deeds; and so relig ion suffers. How common is the crime of smuggling, eheatinga corporation, defrauding the government, and not considered wrong. We need honest men—those who will adhere to their principles under all circumstance*. Another evil sign of the times is the uni versal worship of the material. Men look for wealth. Money, money, is the grand object of pursuit. Wealth is an apology for all e* il habits, and men who ought to* he banished from decent society are tolerated because tin y have money. Virtue, honor, reputation. a triotisni. are all put on n money value. What a c urse to the community is the rivalry in S. eial society, which springs from the worship of monev. We must have a style of living thut makes slaves of us all (fur wives and daughters are occupied with dress and show, and have very little time foraequiringknow 1 eilge. Frugality in the Kenneb«T Relegation gave an important hearing upon the question of the Stipcrio* Court.

Sewall Lancaster, E*«|., of Augusta, del recutedany attempt to cripple this court bv cutting down the Judge’s salary. Judge Whltehouse hrd given the nm*t perfect satisfaction. Ambitious to excel, and of tine attainments, he had made the corrt a success, economical to clients and tax-paver*. Mr. L. thought it unwise for am person, or combination of persons, to advocate a measiir* that would prove the very re verse of economy. O. D. Raker, E*(|., of Augusta, spoke earnestly in favor of the retention of the Court In Its nil efficiency. He believed the present management of the Court all that It should he. He a Ivoeated ext* rding the one i Jurv system to the other t ’ourt. John H. Rotter, of the firm of I’illsbury and Rotter, •aid members should remember that to occupy such a position a man must spend eighteen or twenty vear* of his life in preparation. If the salary were reduced and the present Judge forced thereby to resign, it would be a serious blow at the interest* of real econ omy.

Judge Whitehouse left a practice worth more than hi-* pre*« nt salary. To cut him down ut this early period, when ills’ practice had become peattered, was a breach of good faith on the part of the State. It would result in the practical destruction of the Court. Tiie matter was laid over to the next meeting of the Delegation, at the State House, Tuesday evening, Jan. 21st. The Fiah Question. In a letter published last week, Mr. Haul age states that the menhaden purse fishermen damaged him two hundred dollar*. We firmly believe they did not damage him one cent. We would call bis attention to the tact that about ten years ago. before there was n steamer fishing along the coast of Maine, there were few or no menhaden between Portland and Matinieus. We would also call bis attention to the fact, that early in July last year an immense school of “bararouters” made their appear ance m the waters between Monhcgan and M itinicua, and on their arrival the menhaden went east and located between the Penobscot and Machia*. and that the net fishermen in that locality did better than they have done in several years, while there was a large fleet of purse fishermen at work on them at the same time. It is well known by those who have stud ied the fish question, that their ways are difficult to explain; for instance, G-o. W. Miles Go., and Fowler. Foote Go., left the western fishing grounds because in their opinion the menhaden were caught up, and a menhaden factory located on Long Island Sound, that cost sixty thousands dollars, was abandoned, and several others were sold for less than ten cents on a dollar of their eost. During the years of 1H77 and 1H7S those waters have lunrmed w ith menhaden, and as a result the menhaden interest are now building boats in l’ortlnnd. to be used in those watera next year. In time it will be the same with Mr. Damage's neighborhood when the menhaden see fit to visit, they will do so. The best menhaden fishing west last year was in Sandy llook Harbor, where one sail gang caught 27.000 barrels, and this where there is more disturbance of the water by steamers than ever was or is ever likely to be along the whole roast of Maine.

New York, January 20. A sensation is caused on Wall street to-day by the continued rise in the "Grangers” Northwest and St. 1’aul, Northwest common being manipulated bv a strong pool. Meanwhile outside pur chasers were waiting for the pool to break and reveal the intrinsic worth of the stock.

Placed on the calendar. The Senate resumed bill to amend patent laws. Mr. P otter asked leave to offer a resolution authorizing an investigation of the cipher dis patches, and to have it adopted under suspen sion of the rules.
