Mr. Dickson, from the special com- | mittee to confer with the national committee in | New York, stated that himself and Mr. Wilson had been to New York, and were received with great courtesy by the New York committee, and upon their invitation had accompanied them on thelr visit to Gen. Hancock and Mr. Tilden. A government boat was placed at the disposal ; of the committee, but the tender of government property for private uses was declined. While at New York he had taken occasion to inquire into the price of Hancock and English net work banuers and found there was such a demand for them that the prices were very high. They therefore had contracted with Armor of tbls city for a net work banner 20x30 feet, bear- ing pictures of Hancock and English, at a price not to exceed $100. He was informed that Mr. Armor would give $15 toward It.

On the subject of their Innocence they are “solid” and assert strenuously when the subject of the murder Is broached, that if they knew anything about it they would tell. There is some sympathy felt for Pinn because of his previous good charac- ter, and it is claimed in his behalf, that he was in the party when the murder was committed, but that Ben Johnson, who was not as well acquainted with Pinn as le was with the others, mistook a colored man (an Intimate acquatntance of Bedford’s, who has not been seen since the night of the mur- der) for Pinn.

If local government means anything, It means that such mat- ters, which are in their nature essentiaily local, should be decided by the Inhabitants of each separate district. The majority of the Inhabitants of one district, however, shonid not be allowed to deprive the minority of the power to purchase intoxicating liquors, and in all cases where the law has created a property, it should not destroy it witnout adequate co:n- pensation to the owner.

Etitor Star:—As the long fast of Dr. Tanner seems to be eliciting a good deal of comment, and there is a manifest disposition to refer to every recorded case of starvation, the following statement, which appears hitherto to have escaped the observation of every one,and which I clipped some twenty years Eee from the Oska- loosa (lowa) Herald may be of interest: DEAIM FROM STARVATION, A Woman Lives Sisty-eight Days Without Food ! The wife of Mr. ey Cruzen of Madison town- ship, in this county, had been dei for about thre years-so much eo seine of tae tine that gas had to be confined by her friends. On the 13th of September last she declared her determination to commit suicide by starvation. A night or two pre- vious she had taken from her husband's pocket some forty dollars in money and announced her in- tention to start for Ohio. Foiled in this she aaid she won'd either cut her throat or drown herself. Not permitted to do either one of these, she deter- mined to starve herself snd 80 ‘the family. dhe resolutely persisted in this determination for sixty-eight days, when death came to her relief on Sunday evening, the 20th of November. We were well acquainted with some members of Mr. 0's. family, aud have made the most careful inquiry in regard to this remarkable case. . was closely watched and attended the whole time, and those who were with her are taticfled that, be- Sides the water phe drank she had not taken’ fico ownees of nonrishment during the entire sixty- eight daye. Mrs. ©. was forty years of age, and, at the beginning of her abstinence from food, in very vigorous physical health. She waa large and her flesh was very solid. During the last three weeks of her starving period, she anifered intense- ly. She could seldom be raised in bed without faint- bg Her stomach became irritable so that she cowld scarcely retain the water that she drank. Dung the whole time there was but iittle action of the pther, dixestive orvans. ‘There was no move- mnt nt of the bowels, except on two or thi ._ She would not have taken any medi- her attendants not given hera dozes pills sta time. She thought that quantity would put anendtoherife. She did not know that all but the requisite number were made of dough. 8he retained her consciousness and her resolute deter mination to die, until three or four days before her cath. We are not aware that, in the whole annals of meaicul literature, there is a case similar to this, where a person has lived an equal number of days without food. A case occarred recently in Hastings county, O. W.. where a German-Canadian woman, under infiuence of religions excitement, re- solved to starve herself. Sh lived thirty days only, and took in that t me, besides water, three-quarters of a pound of sugar. This has been considered an “‘extraordinary case." Yet the number of days lived by this woman is not eqnal to half the days lived by Mrs. Cruzen. We repeat our fu" convic- tion of the truth of the statement made above, and may also state that Mrs. C. had every attentien, and every inducement offered to prevail on her to Fiye\up her resolutions that the aifection of a hus- sud, grown-up children and other friends could sugKest. It will be observed that this woman was described as being “large and her flesh very solid,” and this undoubtedly had much to do with prolonging her life. Not that those who have a superabundance of flesh have greater powers of endurance than others, but in an ex- periment of this kind success depends much on the amount of fatty matter or carbon in the system. Dr. Tanner is sald to not be a large man. His weight on commencing hts fast was less than 160 pounds. What proportion of tus was fat, or fuscia, and what bone and muscle, the doctors, with’ all thelr science, have not thought necessary to inform us. It he be a lean, spare man at this weight, his chances tor failure ar much greater. ‘The reason of this {5 very obvious. There ts in the human subject, as Well as fu many of the lower animals, tmmedi- ately under the integument or skin a layer of fat called by anatomists “superficial fascia.” As a rule this 1s thicker in the female than ina male of equal welght; hence a female, everythin: else being equal, will live longer without food. Animals such as the bear, raccoon, hog and the reptiles have this fascia very thickly developed, and they will live for an incredible length of time without any other nourishment; the car- bon which this fat contains ts absorbed, and its union in the lungs with the oxygen In the at- mosphere furnishes them with animal heat, They will get thin and lose weight, but they will bot die till this Supply is exhausted. My own impression 1s that Tanner will succeed. At the same time, if the weather turns cooler, he will find it necessary to remain more closely confined to his room, or to drink less water, for if he takes more ed oan into his system by breathing, as he must do the cooler or less rari- fied the atmosphere becomes, and at the same me recelves an extra amount from the spring water he drinks, he will require more carbon to meet this, and keep up an equilibrium in his system. Not obtaining this from food, and the supply in the system being exhausted, his chances of faffure will be proportionably in- creased. C. PEARSON, M. D. Washington, D.
