PRFsiDrrT Ha yss’b opinions, as published elsewhere, are worth reading. Gail Hamilton, having finished her scold against reformers, is probably without work at present. Why would it not be a gOodldea tor make her one of the Sitting Bali commission, which it seems so difficult to fill? The Evansville Courier says the present state bouse, by an ontlay of a few thousand dollars, might be made to last fifty years. Yes, if the wails were well propped and people were kept out of it, the old min might exist that long. But it would require constant tinkering. The difficulty in getting civilians to serve on the Sitting Bull commission seems to be because there is a good deal of hard work and no pay attached. This is not a country in which positions of any kind go begging, but when it comes to places where yon do hard work and find yourself, there is no need for any civil service reform.

Elsewhere The New* gives a review of the wholesale trade of the city. The interesting list could have been extended indefinitely but the opinions presented, which were taken at random, cover a majority of the leading lines of trade and present a fair average of condition. It will be seen that there is a general expectancy of a good fall trade. Not the feverish flow of inflation times, but a healthful living circulation. This expectancy is based on the beginning that has already keen made. The strike waa a set-back, but in spite of it' purchasers are abroad earlier than usual Money is beginning to flow, collections are better. The principles of economy have been learned. Purchases are measured by the ability to pay, not the ability to Bell, which was too much the unsubstantial basis of previous business. The slap-dash speculative spirit which bought and discounted the future for pa}mient, has given way tp a spirit based on bills receivable and healthful demand. Stocks have generally run low and must be replenished. The money for the crops is not yet in, but it is sufficiently near to meet payments for porchateb now made. This feeling prevalent here is echoed by correspondents from all parts. It is an era of returning confidence. The revival has begun and the sober spirit in which it is’ met promises that it will not be overestimated or misused. THM SXA.TJS HUVSX. The state house entei prise is in the very turn of its fate, and turning. What way we can neither guess nor learn at this moment, but in the hope that it may not be too late to affect it beneficially we want to make a suggestien or two, 1st The act of March 14th last clearly contemplates the immediate prosecution of the work, upon some one of the lour plans proposed by the preceding legislatures. After providing for the employment of three experts to assist in the selection of a plan, tho 4th aection says: The commissioners shall then proceed to give the plans, now in possession of the state, with each additional drawings as may be submitted for their further explanation, a thorough and critical examination, in the progress of which they shall cause the experts so called to their aid, to thoroughly examine all the said plana and specitcatiora thereof, and test the estimate* submitted. If they shall find the specifications and estimates correct, and that the buildings, or any one of them, contemplated in each plans, can be constructed within the limit of two miliiuns o! dollars, be suitable, in respect to permanence and convenience, adapted to all the purposes and aims of a state house building, and in keeping with the dignity of the state, the commissioners may select the most meritorious of suah plan*, and notify the successful architect thereof, and shall then return the drawings of the rejected plans to the author thereof. ist, The whole texture of the provision is mandatory. The plans “now” in the state’s hands “shall” be carefully examined, with ancU “additional drawings” as may be presented in explana* tion or improvement of details, and if any one be found correct in estimate, practicable within the limit of two millions, suitable for a state house in convenience and durability and becoming the dignity of the state it “may be” selected and the others returned to their authors. “May,” though usually con-

strued as directory, is sometimes by^ts context and the general spirit of the law made mandatory. That is, in this case, if any one ot the present plans is well adapted, or can by .“additional drawings” easily be made adapatable to the state’s purposes, that plan should be taken. Why? To save the delay and expense that a new competition would incur. Four years of delay and some unavailing outlay had already interposed between the people and their desire for a suitable and creditable capitol, and the third legislator© that took the caie in band evidently wanted no more. ‘ One “of these first, if it will do,” is the manifest meaning of the provision. “If “it won’t do, or can’t be made to do, “then advertise in the papers of all the “leading cities for new plans.” A new competition is clearly the alternative only of an impossible adaptation and se« lection of some one of the present plana 2d. A very long, possibly disastrous, delay, must be caused by a new competition. The commissioners have now to select but one of four plans. Narrow as the range is, it has taken considerable time and cost a pretty round sum for experts’ fees already, and still nothing is settled. Th^y have the advantage besides, of selecting from the seiection, “weeded” clean of indifferent work, made by Thomas A. Hendricks, David C. Branham, Itoonidas Sexton, Harvey D. Scott and Edward King, five of as competent unprofessional men as can be found in the state, or out of it. And they were assisted in this “ weeding out” work by skilled and disinterested professional men. Thus it comes that these four plans aic the net result of the judgment, taste and economy of as capable a committee of selection as couid have been obtained anywhere. And the law is clearly wise and saving in requiring the best of these to be taken, if it is suitable, or can be easily and inexpensively made so. Now measure the time given to these lour carefully picked plans, against the time that must go to the enormous flock of plans that will come flying from all quarters of the land when competition is renewed, and an idea may lie obtained of the delay that must follow. Some forty new plans are ready now, while new competition is yet undecided. If opened, there will be ten times a-, many possibly, twice as many certainly, and among eighty or a hundred new projects the board will have a hard row to hoe and a long one. 3d. If competition be- renewed what reasonable probability is there that any better p’an than the best of the present four—whichever that may be—will appear? Are not the chances pretty strong that the best of the new lot will need just about as many “additional “drawings” and “explanatory” applications as the best of the old ? Unless the advantages of tho present plans be plagiarized by some of the new ones, this is reasonable, and if it proves real as well, we-shall land, at the end of a year’s examination of a vast array of new plans, just where we are now. Or away behind rather, for we shali have lost time and money, embittered antagonism, strengthened distrust, alarmed suspicion, and created a very serious risk of final failure. If we are to get a new and suitable state house within the next ten years .it will have to come out of one of the existing plans, amended aa needed. If delay leaves a fourth legislature to deal with it, the two millions are more likely to be reduced than extended, and any effort to get more by waiting will end in getting nothing. New competition means the delay .needed for the examination of scores of new plans, anew and greater expense for experts, a terrifically increased turmoil of contentions, struggles, intrigues, personal influences, possibly worse, a hundred sets of devoted friends of competing architects, where there are only four now. We have no better promise in the new than we have positive assurance in the old, while we have more expense, more delay, and a far greater peril of failure. vr.vrK >Ktvs. Judge Archibald Reed, of Madiaon is dead.

PRESIDENT MAYES'S OPINIONS. What lie Thinks About (he Attitude off the Ohio Republicans and (he Coining Suasion off Conirroa*. IB. V. Smal’ey in N. Y. Tribune.l The president, speaking of the Ohio campaign, said that the republicans have made the mistake of trying to cover too pinch ground with their platform. They spread themselves out too thin, and do not make any point with sufficient plainness and force for an effective canvass. The president thinks that the popnlar mil d rarely seizes upon more than one issne at once. There may be one or two subsidiary issues, but to make a successful campaign one dominant feature mast be brought into prominence and kept constantly before the people in stump oratory and newspaper discussion. Evidently the president believes that the true course for the Ohio repnblicans was to pnt themselves in setord with the pacification policy of the administration, atd to mske an aggressive fight on that line. Adopting as their ground principle the sentiment of harmony batwt-en all sections of the country and obedience to all parts of the constitntkm, they might have placed the democrats in the attitude of irreconcilables, seeking to perpetuate sectionalism by enconraging the south to stand together, and by antagonizing an administration which is endeavoring to bring about an era of peace and good feeling. As the campaign is now being conducted in Ohio, the j resident does not think that the result can be taken bv the country ss an expression of opinion on his course in office. Both platforms indor e the general policy of the administration It can not, therefore, be held that the alministration is condemned if the atat* goes democratic, 6r is especially approved if it goes republican. The approval is given in advance of the election in the two platforms. As a republican, Air. Hayes would, of course, be glad to have his party succeed, but he is not going to worry about it, and he doss not believe that the success of the policy he is pnrsnirig is dependent upon the result of the election. In regard to the approaching meeting of congress the president says that he doea not agree with thoee who anticipate violent partisan action from the democrats. After the election of a speaker by the house, he will not be snrprised if there should not occur a strict party vote on an important measure daring the whole session. The questions coming up foraction will relate to currency, silver remonetizatidn, tariffs, banking, railroads, internal improvements, foreign commerce, etc., and upon no one of them is either party agreed. The president expect that the democrats will elect the speaker. Party ditcipline will keep them together for that purpoee; but when the work or legislation is begun the cohesion will be lo't. The question of sending in a general message to congress at the extra sossidh or waiting until the December session has not yet been determined, but it is probable that only a brief message, relating to the particular purposes for which legislation is desired, will be prepared for the October meeting. The appropriations for the army will, it is believed, be voted promptly and without partisan opposition. The president thinks it would be wise, and may recommend in his message that discretionary power should be given the eT.ecniive to fill up the compsnies to a given maximum in case of an emergency requiring a larger force than the permanent establishment By this system no new regiments wonM be created, nor wonld there be any increase in the number of officers. The organization would remain the same, but i's effective force could be considerably augmented by new enlistments.

TRANSFl SION OF BLOOD. A Highly Sucrcaaful Case la Williamsburg—The Romantic Reasons .for the Operation—Border, Usurpation, Remorse and Restitution. I From the New York Herald.] The difficult surgical operation of trans fusion of blood waa recently performed by a prominent physician of Williamsbarg, upon John Adam Kohlepp, a consump tive, of Ten Eyck street, under circumstauces of peculiar interest Since the operation of transfusion of blood is likely to be attended with fatal resulta, it is at* tempted only aa a dernier resort, eren by the moat akillful aurgeona; and the majority of thc» who are considered moet versatile in the profession pass an entire career without having occasion to aa mnch as think seriously of experimenting in so bezardona a department of their craft But this case acquires a new and separate interest as a dramatic episode. The facta below given are necessarily incomplete, for reasons that will appear; but, to far aa their recital extends, they are capable of documentary proof, and can be attested by parties whose verification would place their authenticity beyond question. Mr. Kohlepp, who is fifty-one years old, waa formerly a captain in the engineer corpe of the Prussian army, and he wa* forced to leave hia native land because of individual persecution. Daring the Schlel-weig-Holstein war in Europe he was one of fonr conspirltors who planned the death of a Baron Yon G , who had given special offence to them hr some act of military tyranny. A challenge to a duel was sent to him, upon some tramped up pretext, which was accepted, and the plan had been so well laid that one of the conspiratora was the baron’s second. When the party reached the spot assigned for the duel the baron waa assassinated before having an opportunity to defend himself. One of the conspirators waa the baron's brother, and after the assassination he called his companions about him and they ail took a solemn oath not to reveal the detail of the affair for a term of years, ending in 1380. Then knowing that the secret was safe, he gave out that the baron had been killed in a duel, and under pretence of becoming guardian to the children of the deceased, one of whom, a son, waa married, although under age, the brother constituted himself baron, and by legal trickery acquired full possession of the estate in tnrn, became even more tyrannical than the deceased man had been, and expressed his authority in such a way that the personal safety of the three who had conspired with him became imperilled, and they left the country. Two of them are dead; the dr facto baron and Kohlepp survive, and they alone are fully acquainted with the details of the murder Kohlepp alone can produce conclusive documentary proofs of itshavingoccurred. The operation of transfusion wes performed in order to prolong Kohlepp’slife until the oath of secrecy expires, in the spring of 1880, when he intends to reveal to the Prussian authorities the particulars of the murdt r, and thereby to avenge himself, hia dead comrades and the murdered ba ron’s children by bringing to justice the man who now enjoys high authority and vast wealth, procured through cruelty and villainous conduct. Kohlepp entered the leather cutting business upon his arrival in America, but tiring of it. he procured employment in Kalbffeisch’s chemical works, Williamsburg, where he contracted consumption. For four years he haa been unable to work steadily, and for six weeks previous to the first transfusion he had not left his bed, ami had become emaciated and listless. Early in July his physician informed him that death was imminent and that it was time to make whatever requests he desired to make. Up to this period the pa*tient bad kept his secret entirely to himself, but realizing his perilous condition be earnestly besought the doctor to save him at any risk, as he had a solemn duty to perform which no one else could attend to. He said that be cared not for any material benefite that would accrue to him, for misfortune bad long attended his efforts, and that he was in no position, financially, to reap special personal advantages from a prolongation of life; but he could not die until he bad revealed a terrible secret, which oppressed him, but whkh could not yet be exposed. The physician at first attributed the man’s solicitations-to the natural tenacity for life, and treated them as originating in such a desire; but on the following day, when unusually severe symptoms appeared, the doctor was hastily summoned, and papers showing that the patient had indeed a purpose yet to accomplish and read to him and to a few other intimate friends, but only sufficient information waa given to satisfy them of the importance of the entreaties for life that had been made. Not until then did the Doctor determine to risk an operation of transfusion. Mr. Lonis Burkbarelt, of Stagg street, who is a healthy, full blooded man, willingly consented to submit to blending for the benefit of the patient Ths case here became interesting from a professional standpoint There is great daugaf of coagulation of the blood during the interval that elapses in the process of transmission, aa it can not be paswd directly from ihe giver to the receiver. If the slightest dot reaches the patient’s system, or if a particle of air enter© the open vein, instant death by syncope results aa soon as the clot or particle of air reaches the heart. The method of transfusion em p’oyed in the case was substantially as follows: The lustinments having been properly warmed, Burkhardt’s arm was first bandaged, to swell the blood vessels, and was then opened in the median basilic vein, at the elbow, and the blood was drawn into a small porcelain dish. It waa then beaten rapidly with a whisk prepared for the purpose, to which the fibrme in the blood attached itself, the B’rengthening properties remaining in the dish. This remnant was poured into a glass cup at the extremity of a long rubber tube, which is coni nected with a glass globe set upright up>ou a stand. Another tube is alao con- . nected with the globe, but at a lower ele ! vation than the first, at the extremity of which is a hollow needle. When the , blr-od was poured into the cup it was : transmitted to the patient through the i im<)rumer.t just described, entering hia . median hattlic vein. Previous to the operatiun hia pulse was feeble and accelerated, out ss anon as it began the pulse ' beat slower and full; bis breathing was easier, and a gentle perspiration appeared j all over hia body. Four ounces of blood j were trantfcutd, when c ingeetire symp- , toms appeared, the patien*’a face became j tnr,rid| and fearing a fatal result the ! operation waa temporarily discontinued, i After about twenty minutes all conges- ; I live troubles havingsubzided tureeouncea j more of biood were transfused. At this ! | stage Bnrkhardt became weak and com- ■ j plained of strong thirst, but he waa not : ruaterisity affected, having become ac- ' custom*d to venesection in Germany.. ; Upon the doctor’a advice he remained at home cne day to recover thoroughly from any poteible 111 effects. A* scon as Burkbardt left the pat’ent fell aslaep, not waking for seven hours He then ate with apparent relDh for the first time in several months and again fell asleep. On the day following be dressed himself, but did not veuuree beyord hie rcom; on the fourth day aftet the operetlon be took a short walk on the street. Encouraged at the success of the

first operation, which occurred at three o’clock p. m , on . July ■ ii, another wa* performed on tha 26th, in which fonr ounces of blood were transfused. It will be borne in mind that an operation of this kind is the work of bate few seconds. Since the second operation Kohlepp ht* been comparatively well; night sweats have entirely left him; he breathes freely and sleeps soundly, whereas before he coaid not rest, even when under the influence of morphine; hi* pulse is full and sow; the abort, hacking cough which attends the diaeaee haa ceased to be annoying, and for more than a week he haa bean able to do some light work daily. On Sunday last he walked two and a half miles The operation will be again performed, in the hope of arreating the disease by cicatrization. Charles Sumner's Ambition. fWasfainrton special to Cincinnati Gazette.] The Secretary of war had laid upon hia desk this morning a letter which is of peon liar interest. It haa last been discovered by one of the clerks, in looking over some of the older files of the department It waa a letter from Major Sumner, the father of the late Senator Snmner, to the then secretary of war, asking that bis son, Charles Sumner, then a lad of about fifteen, might be appointed military cadet at West Point The Utter recites that his son La a good youth without bad habits, well grounded in the common branches of English, frith a fair knowledge of Freuch, knowing something of Latin and Greek, and prepared to enter Harvard college; that bis parents destined him for a classical course of study, bat that the lad’s preference seemed to be fer military life. Mr. Sumner said that he could not claim the appointment for any deserving of his own from the country, but that his father, tha lad’a grandfather. Major Sumner, had done good service In the revolution. Mr. Sumner added that he referred, by permission, to his member of congress, Mr. Daniel Webster, and ventured to say that Mr. Webster knew him well enough to know that he would not recommeud anybody to office without he had merit, ba he his own son or no son. The letter is written in a clear, round hand, and ia well preserved. Railroad Accidents. John Eccles, a miner, waa Instantly killed, Jamee Brown, road foreman, was severely injured, and Thomas Welch, engineer, was scalded, by an engine jumping the track while running at a high rate of speed, on the Castle Shannon road, four miles from Pittsburg, yesterday. A train on the Missouri Pacific railroad, when at a road crossing near Laclede, about eight miles from 8t. Louis, last evening, ran into a covered wagon, containing W. F. Ritchey, wife and tVo children. Ritchey waa killed instantly. His wile died in a few minutes One of the children was fatally injured; the other bad a thigh broken.
