is the facts none can deny. One of tlie
co-ordinate branches of our Constitu

Washington (March 15) Correspondence ol

The supposition that Attorney Gen
eral Hoarc's appointment to tlie Cabi
net was intended to be of a temporary
character is not warranted by anything
that tlie President has said or done be
fore or since it was made. Many of
the politicians are troubled by the fact
that one State has two members of the
Cabinet, and some friends with whom
the President consulted about the ap
pointment thought lie might be tin
j tmrrsssed by the choice of Judge
I lioare and desire to choose Mr. ltout
1 well, hut he himself said at the time
1 that this difficult!’ of giving two places
j to one State was among the least of the
difficulties he had to encounter, and the
j idea that Judge lioare should retire to
make room for Mr. Houtwell was not
of iiis suggestion. Wheu Judge lioare
i tirst talked with the President' after
| arriving here lie said that he had no
wish but to serve the country, and
! would do whatever the President de
| sired him to do. He was answered
| that the President bail no desire except
( that he should qualify aud at once en
| ter upon tho active duties of his office.
Judge Iloaro did this, and is rapidly
learning Ills new work. Tlicro is tho
best reason for saying that the Presi
dent lias no intention at present of
superceding him. Tho question of
loyalty, lye says, is of far less conse
quence titan the question of titness, and
Judge lioare is already proving hint
self a lit man for tho piace given him.
His footing in tho Cabiuet is now as

! people therefore need not worry them
1 selves to llnd a ueiv office for him or

the state of things brought aboht by tnif
immaculate God sod morality party, I
would ask Their attention long enough to
inform me what is Grant’s Inaugural,
tried by any reasonable standard ?
So far as I can comprehend it, it is
nothing but a mass of crude assertions,
unsupprorted by any logic or reasoning; a
dogmatic and dictatorial compound of
words without ideas, and of ungrammat
ical rcntcncos without thoughts In the
first paragraph lie assures us that the
office came to him unsought, and endeavor."
to gratify us by asserting that he “com
mences its duties untrammelod.” Now,
if Grant possessed the faculty of thinking,
he would not’ have niude that assertion
lie is just as much “trammeled” as any ot
his predecessors were lie accepted the
nomination of the Radical party upon the
Chicago platform, which pledged him to
every extremity of party demands. And,
as f predicted more than a year age, he
has already gone to that extremity; for in,
concittsion. he “entertains the hope fpd
expresses the uesirc that the b ifie'e
Amendment will bo jatifieu by ah
States. This fact proves how “untrtun?
moled” ho is—how firm a holpl his ideas
of independence have upon him. ^
He insinuates a threat to veto all mea|
Mires to which ho is opposed. Now I asP
if any previous President ever used such
language iu his Inaugural? Coming from
Washington in the early days of our
country, before a republican government
was fairly established, such language
would have borne a serious import—a
resemblance to monarchical edicts so
palpable that the patriots of 70 would
have taken up liieir bruised arms agaiust
his administration ; and the old Democrat
Jefferson would have written another
Declaration of Independence so decidedly
Democratic that the little politicians and
pop-gun aoldiei^of after years could havo
no (-nntrjvcrsApjffi ittdk^inguago
from CTOWSkred by

such dictatorial laiigu^e bodes no good to
tbc country
Again, when Grant's predecessor, “A.
J in “swinging around tjre circle,”
made at St Louis a similar threat, in tile
passion of a speech’ it wis made the basis
of an article of impeachnent against him.
It was regarded as holding Congress in
great contempt for Johoiou to say that ho
i would veto all the uncuistitutional mea
i suit s sought to be passed by that reckless
body ; although he, as veil as the whole
country, wore cognizant of the introduc

experience or knowledge of the measures
! that might be submitteJkjp him, steps up
and says the same thiq^und great arc
tlic hallelujahs of the ‘t^wly loil” ami
his Southern apologists.
On the question of laying the public
debt, bis utterances are out what we could
expect from bis jssocinions' His friends
and advisers have been tbc bondholders ;
interest nominated and lupportcd him. and
! of course wc are not disappointed when he
uttered the bondhohxrs shriek. The

OF oil the remedies that hate been discov
ered during the present age for the "thousand
ills that flesh is heir to,” none equal this won- ,
derful preparation. Only fifteen years have
elapsed since the discoverer, (who spent a
decade in studying,Experimenting, and perfec
ting it,) first introduced it to the public, and j
it is already recognized by the most eminent ;
physicians in all parts of the country to be j
the most surprising and effective remedy for i
certain diseases of ifhich they have knowl
edge.
All other Compounds or Syrups of this root
have hitherto failed to command'the sanction
of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they
have been found to contain noxious ingredi
ents, which neutralize the good effects of the
Sarsaparilla, anc oftentimes injure the health
of the patient. It is not so with Hurley’s
preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extract of the
j root and will, on frial, be found to effect a
| certain and perfect cure of the following com
! plaints and diseases:
! 4 fleet ion oftlie Bone*, HabltimJ
tost Issues*. Disease* of the
Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Ery
wlpelas. Female Irreg
ularities, Fistula,
8 k I *i Diseases,
Indigestion,
Liver Complaint, Plies, Ac.

TONIC,
^orfectly Sellable.
The only remedy for Chills and Fever or
Ague and Fever that i« or can be depended
upon, is HURLEY'S AGUE TONIC. There
have been thousands cored by using it, who
had all tried the usual remedies without ben
efit. \
WOBTrry DS' AttB-NTION,
To Dr. Thus. A. Hurley:
I hereby certify that during ln«* year I was
attacked with fbe A gw whilsi in’Vicksburg,
Miss., ana used several popular medicines
wjui out tempura./ rt?io;un reacumg
home the disenpe },snii ?/od in a worse type,
if possible, when n»y mbclical attendant or
dered Quinine in large doses—irequently as
high as'60 grains per d‘*y, and which must
have cost me nearly $100. 1 consulted Dr.
Smith, of Louisville, and found he prescribed
quinine and arsenic combined, which 1 re
fused to trike, preferring to Jet the disease
lake its course. I was almofl bloodless, ex
tremely exhausted, and pronounced with
enlarged Liver and Spleen. About this time
the advertisement of Hurley’s Ague Tonic
appearad in a city paper, and 1 determined
to give it a trial. I did so. and have no rea
; son to regret it. One bottle restored ine
completely, and since that time I have seen
nearly a hundred cases in which it acted with
! equally happy results, and would certainly
recommend it as preferable to any other ton
ic before the public.

safest remedies known, and as such, recom
mend it to one and all
