Journaliillc Courtesies. [Front the Neia York Newt, May 15.] A card appeared in certain of tho city journals on Saturday, over tho aigiutdre of "JJ. O.

We hope, for tho sake of the ronutution of journal ism, that th9*pui)lioatii>iiof this card was through carelesanoss ou the part or subordinates in tho-e establishments, and wis without.

OiiKSTEn.-The Cheater, ti. 0., Standard, or the 17th, brings us the following: Two unsnoceaafnl attempts were made last week to offocteutrauoo into stores on Main-atreot. The aooaoTlreld were fired upon, but unfortuuately osoapod. A very intoreating lillie son of Mr. John Johnson waa drownod on tho 10th inat, near Lewis' Turn Oat. The bereaved pirents have the sympathy of tho ontir?! ojaimuuity. Doctor Sim anil Cla-lora. 2b the Editor of the Daily Netos .* Sin: In our roviow o? Dr. SIMS"pamphlet on Cholera, in your issiio of tho 11th inst., wo cn doavored to show that tho author had recommend ed for general uso with Ibopooplo, medicinal com pounds ompirioal and dangerous ia charaoter, nud that ho had boon onrelcps and unscientillo iu his modo of conveying tho instruction!* ofiorcd. His reply, in your ?HSUC of the 17th, has in ?io wise chaugod our opiuion. Tho first effort in this roply is to frighten us ?ith tho namo of WILLIAM Arc KtNj M. D., Edinburgh, Profoaeor in tho Army Medical School, Corresponding Member of a long string of Imperial Societies, Pathologist to the Military Hospitals, <Jcc, &c. Wo aro as little moved as wo wore, upon reading tho title-pago to tho pamphlet on Cholera, to find that the author was THOMAS SIM, M-. I)., and Licentiate of tho Col legcv?f Physicians and Surgeon??, Glasgow, Special Health Officer, Department of South Carolina and Goorgia, etc. * , We have shown that tho titles or tho latter author were no guaranteo of the correctness or purity of his English, and that (hoy did not pro vent his using tho nominative in lieu of tho geni tal (see formula* in pamphlet) when indulging in a Latin prescription. So it may bo, that tho titles of the former aro not Bynonymous with infallibili ty of judgment, and that they do not constitute tho individual a medical authority, from which there is no appeal. We say this with no intention al disparagement of Dr. AITKEN or bia book. Wo acknowledge tho author as high authority, al though we do remember reading in his book a chapter upon yellow fever, which exhibited views altogether unsound upon the pathology and treat ment of the disease. But this endeavor to adduce, authority for the use of chlorodyne, is only a "iuo thrown io the whale.'' In our criticism, we did not deny the possible utility of chlorodyne in certain diseased conditions. Wo sim ply characterized ita? an unscientific, dangerous and empirical nostrum. Orthodox physicians will often resort to such agents in an experimental way. If Dr. AITKEN and otho m in England chooao to outer the lists with the London quacks, who are even now disputing as to what id chlorodyne,- (soo advertisements in the Medical Times and Gazelle for thiB year), wo certainly shall not follow their example. We fully agroe with tho high authority of the editor of tho journal re ferred to. In his issue for January, 18G6, he says, em em phatically, " We never prescribed it (chlorodinc) ourselves, and never shall." It is legitimate to ailinn that every nostrum ever invented may have ita ap plicability. We are nob surprisod, then, at Dr. AITKKK'S reporting favorably upon the efficiency of chlorodyne in certain cases of irritable stom ach. It has only now occurred to Dr. SIM, in his reply to the review of his artiole, to say that ho prescribed the ohlorodyne "for the purpose of preventing cramps, chocking tho vomiting, and allaying irritation of the stomach." In his pam phlet the artiole was simply ordered to bo given "on the first appearance of the 'nee-wa tor' dis chtrrges." The stomach scorned to givo him no ooncorn, for the remedy was pressed on every hour, "in half a tumbler of water, or chamomile or mint tea." Did Dr. SIM got this idea also from Dr. An-KEN'S book, or does ho there find his prac tice supported? , Wo objected to the uso of chlorodyne by the people mainly because of it containing a fall por tion of hydrocyanic acid. Poisons aro ofton given as remedial agonts, but these should bo prescribed only when the physician can noto their effect?. With any powerful ngent we aro prudently en joined, by all good authority, to begin with a min imum done, and watch tho result beioro resorting to increased quantities. The euicoptibilitiua of individuals differ so much, that a do-so that ia re medial for one may pi ove poisonous with anothor. It ia tho true physician'a duty to ascertain tilia susceptibility, and lo feel his way ia tho troatniont of disease. In regard to moat of tho so-called poiaonoua medicinal agents, tho doao ia so apportioned in the prescription that a littlo iucreaso of it, through carolessness or mistake on the part of the patient or nurse, would ?eldon? dillinger lifo or produce soiiius conaoquencus. Thus it ia that laudanum and chloioform and inorphina and sugar of lead aro overy day used with impunity. The case is vastly different where hydrocyanic acid is tho agent proscribed, and particularly when it is or dered in tho full dose of two drops. ,Tho size and formation of the mouth of the phial from which the article is dropped may so determino the quan tity given as to poison tho patient. To ailinn, then, that chlorodyne can bo as safety trusted in the hands of the pcoplo as laudanum or chloro form or sugar of lead, exhibits either an ignorance of the relative potenoy of these drug?, or a reck lessness in tboir uso, which should not pertain to a praotical physician. But Dr. 1-M has just become-p-sosaod of the triumphant argument In favor of the safety and utility of chlorodyne. The wife of a clergyman at Paris has. administered this airent in "sixty cases of choUsra, all of whom recovered !" The remedy then can bo given with safety by a wo man, and can successfully combat tho disease. This is the argument. With all of our prejudices and fear*, wo would willingly entrust the article with an intelligent femalo nurse. We havo not forgotten Miss NIOUTIKOALE; nor, indeed, the many prudent women upon whom wo every day roly in our ooaling with the sick. But does Dr. 8IM expect eycry.cholera pitiont in Carolina and Georgia to havo tho benefit of an intelligent female to carry out his directions ? In regard to the reported cure of tho sixty cases of cholera, wo are skepticnl. Wore this talo true, and had such a boon been discovered in chloro dyne, already wo should have heard tho shout of thankfulness and triumph ovor thia broad earth. The remedy, we fear, has accomplished too much. When time enable? us to be as credulous as Dr. SIM in regard to these sixty oases, wo shall thank God, abandon our prejudices, and render fall ac knowledgment to the health ofllcer who has affordod us his watohful care. But Dr. SIM, after enlightening us with the wondorful rosults of chlorodyno at Paris, suddenly deserts the clergyman's wife-suddenly drops tbo newly dis co*'.red boon, and tells na that ho clines to tho Hydroch orate of .^Amm-jitia as the shoot-ancInsr in tho treatment of the dis ease. And this opinion is basod upon an oxp?iionoo commenced in Hay, 1832. Why has not Dr. 8IM previously onlightened tho profas. sion ? and why was ho not sent to Constantinople? Dr. Six accuses us of ignorance of the fact that "thoriaoa. is commonly used by physicians in their proscriptions to signify moiassos or .rea ole." We p'oal guilty to tho ch.tr_e. Wa were I awaro that in Great Britain "thcriactt" waa used as synonimous with treacle, and KO far alluded to tho matter as to offer an explanation of the fact in our review. As wo know, however, that pl\ysi cians in this country never used the term in pre scriptions, wo criticized and coiidoinncd tho illo.:i t?nate uso made of it by Dr. Bui in writing n, pop ular treatise, and ventured to assert that his pre scription would puzzlo tho druggists. Since the Dr. has thought proper to impute to us igno rance for tho expression of thi-i opinion, wo desire to refer lum to tho subjoined testimony of three of our most efficient druggists. These gentlemen woro educated in Europe, and for this reason we havo nought their opinion. Wo intend no dis paragement to tho "many" with whom Dr. HIM has convorscd, and who are satisfied with his scientific accuracy. Our incidontal allusion to tho torm "suspension of urine," Dr. S. has bien pleased to notice, and to insist upon the correctness of tho expression be cause it was moant to "expresa tho fact that tho functions of tho kidneys aro suspended." Wo can very well understand a suspension or arrest of function;'but a "suspension" of urino within tho body is something now to us. Where Micro is no urino in the bladder, there surely can be none socroted, or, if thoro is, wo would like Dr. S. to designate tho euBpousion apparatus. But if the Doctor maintains that this oxprossion is not au "error" in his production, ho muet coucedu it to bo a "merit." Now, as ho disclaims generously all tho merits of his treatise, he must bo kind enough to aBsigu this expression to some one "holding a high position as a teacher in tho medical world." Our conversion to his view may possibly be brought about if he will refer us to authority oven less ancient than ". GALEN. ' Tho following noto was addressed to the three Druggists, referred to above ; Om.ni.EHT IN, May 17th, I860. DEAR Sin :-Bo kind enough to inform mo, if, during your oxperionco as a Druggist in this country or in Europe, you have- known the torm " Tnertiica" commonly used by physicians in their prescriptions to signify it "Treacle" or "MOIHBHOS." Bespoct?ully, GALEN. CHABLESTON, May 17tb, 18GG. In reply to your inquiry I would state that tho torm " Theriaca" ia, as far as my experience goes, nover employed to signify M?lasses or Treacle. If a prescription was presented to mo with " The riaoa" as one of the iugrodionta, I would suppose tbat the " Electuary of Theriaca" (a weak prepa ration of opium) was intended. llespecTully, A. W. ECKEL. Ti GALEN . CHABLESTON, May 17, 18GG. DEAR Sin : I would respectfully state, in reply to your note, that tho torm "tboriao" is not oom monly used by physicians, either in this country or in Europe, to signify treacle or molasses; and I would invariably use the "Electuary of Theorie" in compounding a recipe wherein "tberiao" is pre scribed. Yours, etc., C. F. PANKNIN. To GALEN. OH ABLE?TOW, May l8, 1866. DEAR SIB :-lu reply to your noto in regard to the article Theriac, I wonld state that, iu my ex perience of forty years in Europe and this place, the article has al vaya been known to me as an aromatic con feet inn containing opium; and I would not use that in a prescription, if molasses bad been ordered theroiu. Yours very respectfully, A. O. PHIS. Tlic National Express Company. [a"/-.)?! Baltimore Gazette.] The National Express and Transportation Com pany has ititi" du ;ed into its lm.?i.ieas a novel and very important feature, by which large additional security is guaranteed to all shippers of money and valuable packages. It has effected arrange ments with a number of leading In.-ui auco Com panies, piincipally in Now York, euch as tho Sun, Hoourily, Manhattan, Metropolitan, and Pheonix, by which the cniiro oontents of tho money chest:? of tho Express Company uro insured against com mon carriers's risk. In addition to tho liability of the O'mi puny for all losaes, the thipper has, there fore, the further security of theso weli-;.nown In surance Companies, whose capital and-surplus assets rcpiosciit a total valuo of a bout 515,01)0,000, and who, liy the transportation policies now issued, placo themselves, in fact, in tlio stead of the Ex press O iiupany, and bind themselves to ni A gooil all losetJ f'.r which it, as comm on" carrier, can bo held responsible. The policios of (ho several companies under writing the rii?k generally cover au amount of $50,000 oach. The aggregate amount covered hy any ouo risk is $500,000. But as the risUs are gene rally of short duration, and are constantly re peated, this gives but a laint idea of the" m igui tudo of the proposed insurance. It is no unusual thing, for money alone, to tho amount of $500,001?. to be transported at one time to New York, aud a similar amount may very easily be coming at the same timo in an opposite direction, while large amounts may also be in transitu between Baitimoro and Richmond, or Cincinnati, or be tween Cincinnati and Chicago, or St. Louis. It will rnadilr bo understood, therefore, that a risk of t5t>0,000, which is constantly repea in? itself, in some instaucossoveral times a day ? the same route, may very easily swell up to a I... go amount, and it is not at nil an extravagant assertion to make, that a first-olaaa Expresa can very easily do business under such a policy or policies to the amonnt of $50,000,000 per annum. ? Aa an insurance operation it certainly promises to be one of a magnitude hitherto unknown. The idoa waB conceived by tho-National Express and Transportation Company, for the purpose of in ? spiring confidence from the start in the friends of the company by offering to all shippers of money or valuables a urge and undoubted socurity, such as could be offurod by no other singlo company. Tho scheme was carried out aud the arrangements finally perfected by our well-known Insurance Agent, Mr. Thomas D. Johnston, who acts aa agont for the Iusuranco Companies, underwriting tho risk, and to whom the Expross Company makes its returns. The Insurance premium is Cn ii by the Express Company out of its receipts, o charge whatever being made for tho additional security thus provided. ? . m ?, Mobile Items, Wo condenso the following from the Tribune of tho I5th : "A riot occnrrol iu Mobile on Monday afternoon last, among tho negroes at the African Church.

MAXIMILIAN ANO AMCBlCAN COXMBRCl*. The President sent a mo-sago to tho House to day, inclo?iug u report from the Secretary of the Treasury in answer to a resolution requesting in formation concerning thudiacrimiuatioua made by the so-called Maximilian Government of Mexico against American commerce Tiom particular Auit licaii ports. The Secretary incloses a copy of a communica tion of tho 7ih of January laot from the Collector of Custom? of the port uf Brownsville Texas, in which (hu Secret-y t?uys men ti-m ia made ol' _n order promulgated" iu tho city of Matamores, Mexico, a few ?lays boforo tho dato of tho letter, to tho elieel that all gooda going to Browuav Hu from that city, or coming to Matamoras from Brownsville, should pay full duties. This order is re-pi-. HUM ed to bo in conflict with tho policy which, for flvo years, had been recognized in that section, under which all gooda entering Mati. moraa were free of duty, being subject thereto only when sold to RO into tho iuteri?ir of Mexico, or having entered Matamoras, as they were ex ported to a foreign country, they are sai I to have been uubjoct to one-quarter of the full duties. As the order referred to is alleged not to extend to Bagd&d, Mexico, the Collector conaidered its ob ject to bo a discrimination against the trade of I5rownsvill?, but he fails to state by what author ity, whether purely local or otherwise, it was pro mulgated. The Collector, in bia letter, saya: The reason of this order is pure anger and fear that Brownsville will do all iho bnainess of Mexico, as it-did before the war. They hope, by a decree against Browns ville to force all the trade through their port, and put all the freights fn their own hands. The working of the decree is as they hoped. No busi ness can be doue at Brownsville, as tho whole trado of Brownsville is with Mexico. Of course, all trade is paralyzed. There is, he saya, one mode of redress wbioh would havo the immediate effect of showing them that the rulo will work both ways. An order from the Secretary ef the Treasury to the Collector* of ?he ports of New Orleans, Qalvoaton, aud Indlanola not to clear any vessels for the ports of Hagdad or Matamoros, Mexico, until you had laid tho matter before the authorities at Mexico, would oauaa consternation at Matamoras, as they draw all their supplies of corn, hay, lard, flour, and, in-fact, nearly all gro ceries from the?-? cities. The cities of T?mpico and Yera Cruz would thon do all the business of the- interior of Mexico, and San Antonio, Texan, the trade of Chihuahua, while this plaoo would feed all the Bio Orando valley. In just-u to many of the prominent nu reliants of Matamoras, the Collector states that they aro entirely oppose I to this decree, whilo others in terested in tho promotion of Uagdad aro the ori ginators. FnOM KCUADOIi. The President also sont a mossago to Congress inclosiux a copy of tho correapondenco between tho Secretary of State aud the ucting Charge d'Ai-irs of the United States at Guayaquil, in the itcpiiblio of Ecuador, from which it appo.irs that tho Government of that Republic bas failed to pay thu first instalment of tho award of tho Commis sioners, under the Convention bot ween tue United States and Ecuador, o? the .25th of November, 1W2, which installment was due on the 17th or Feoruary last. As debts of tbib character, from one Government to another, aro justly rogurdud as of a peculiarly sacred character, and as further diplomatic measures are not, in this inatanc?*, likely to bo t>uccosBful, the expediency of author izing other proceedings, in case they should ulti mately prove to bo indidponsable, is submitted to the consideration of Congress. THE INDIO-IKNT OP JEFUURSOM 1>.?TVI8. All the lawyers who havo read the indiotmont against Jefferson Davis, including several emi nent members of the Bar who aro members of Congress? say that it ia drawn in an exceedingly lame manner, that it is fall of defects and weak points; and that no conviction for treason can be secured under it.

A provision giving tho Cliiof Justico powers to c.ill special i-ef?ioiin was stricken out, and tho bill as thus anioi.dod was passed. This postpone s the trial at once from Juno to December, and in the meantime the It ?diculs hopo that .Mr. Da vi** Mill die in prison, as ho is quito likely tn do if his c .il lili? mont is protracted that linn:. It is understood that tho House Judiciary Committee will noon re port u bid for tho trial of Jifferson Davis by a mil itary tribunal for alleged acts in viola!ion of the inniges of warfare, and for direct complicity in the assastiuation of Lincoln. Tho report UjUf ready, together with a vast maus of what they call evi dence, and which they say is ample to convict and hang bim. TUE BECES3. It is how said that tho idoa of a recess has boen aba- doned, and that Congress will continue in tieHtdon until October. There is no prospect that tho business of the session can bo completed be foro August or September. Many of the raembeis are getting leave of abeonco for a few weeks, and will tako a brief holiday and then return. In ibis way there can always bo enough membora on baud to constitute a quorum. THE COLOBADO VETO. Tho President's Acting Private Secretary, Col. Coopor, delivered to tho Sonato to-day a message in writing, containing tho objection?! of the Presi dent to tho bill for the admission of Colorado into the Union as a S'ate. This announcement created some little aurprieo, asan nnauthonticatcd rumor Just previously prevailed that the bill had been approved. Later in the afternoon an effort was msdo to proceed with the consideration of the mossage, but the majority proferrod to tako au early start with it to-morrow. It was not for mally laid before tho Senate, and therefore not read. For this reason the message oannot now bo proaouted to tup country. But it was privately perused by several Sona tors, who say it takes tho ground that the erec tion of Colorado as a State is at present unneces sary for the welfare of tho pcopls. Nor is it clearly established that the majority desire or are propared for such a chango. The population is insufficient, and has diminished rather than in creased. In addition te these and other romona, it is stated, the President says : Caution should bo exercised in tho admission of now States, and especially as eleven of tho t?tatoa are now without a representation, and all should bo consulted as to who shall become members of tho Union.'
