Nklmbold, Druggist: Dear fir: I have been a sufferer for upwards ot twenty years with gravel, bladder, and kidney affec tions, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of tbe most enilnei t physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively adver tised, I consulted my family physician In regard to sing your Extract ot Buchu. I did this because I had used all kinds of advertised remedies, and had lound them worthless, and some jnlte Injurious; In fact, I despaired or ever getting well, and determined to ne no remedies hereafter unless I knew of tbe Ingredients. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, eubebt, and juniper berriel, It occurred to me and my physician as an excellent com ' Mnation, aria, with his advice, alter an examination o( the article, and consulting again with a druggist, I con. . e.oded to try It. I commenced Its use about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room from the first bottle I was astonished and gratified at 'the beneficial effect, and after using it three weeks, was able to walk oat. I felt much like writing you a full statement of my case at that time, but thought mv Im provement might only be temporary, and therefore oonoluded to deftr and see If It would effect a cure, knowing that t would be ot greater value to you and und more satisfactory to me.

WAHHnOToi, Friday, November 16. The movement ot leaJlng Democratic newspapers la the East and Went in (avor of impartial suffrage has caused a decided sensation in Washington, especially among officials and Southern men. The latter declare that the South will accept im partial suffrage in preference to ratifying the Constitutional amendment. A well-known New Orleans editor, now here, favors it, and the Hon. W. H. Treecott, of South Carolina, who was an officer of the Confederate Government, aud formerly Assistant Secretary of Htate under Buchanan, arrived here to-day, and says South Carolina prefers it to the amendment. It i rumored to-night that the President will recom mend universal amnesty for impartial suffrage in his lorihcoaiing message. The Chicago Tunes contains substantially the above. The Boston "Post" Follows the Lead of the Chicago "Times." The Boston Post, the leading Democratic paper In New England, yesterday contained the lol'owin.; editorial article: Wheu those who talk loudest about universal suil'raee arc taken seriously at what they say, they betray the ho'.lowness of the dogma aud the insincerity of their professions by at once abandoning both. It could not be expected of them in reason thut they should do less, lm purtial sullruge is euarded by proper restric tions, so that the fountain of political power may not be polluted. Umvevsal suU'raefe mans a throwing down ot ettery barrier, iu the shiipe of qualification and condition, by which, the source of authority is kept from protanation, and tossing into the trampled arena of party strife the very safeguard that permits such con tests in popular governments at all. Impartial suffrage is strictly according to Democratic theory and rule; it is impossible to conceive Irom wnat other it derives it support. But its very name implies the existence of some sort ot qualification; that, for instance, its en joyment shall be put upon an impartial obe dience to some requisition that is standard. To establish no standard is debasing tbe very autho rity derived; the abandonment of all conditions is an outright annihilation of tha value of the franchise. When the founders of our repub lican government laid broad and deep tneir plans, they had much to say on tbe purity of the ballot and the due protection of toe fran chise. All their discussions of tbe subject go to prove that they thought the stability ot tho structure waa to depend on the soundness of its foundations, and that chief among those foun dations was the protected ballot. They did hold that all power W06 derived from the consent of the governed, but they had never learned to stultify themselves by claiming that all alike pobsessed the right V.) vote because ol their level qualifications. This subject has been left, all through our his tory, with the State Governments tor their owu management; and there alone it belongs to-dny. We realize that a new school of experimentalists has emereed from the cnaotic style ot think ing generated by the temporary tumults ot war, who stem to believe that the bolder their assumptions tbe better chance for them to obtain a foothold, and whose leading tenet U that the war for lbe Union under the Contitu lion has been successful only as it has over thrown Union and Constitution together; but they advance no reasons, and employ no sub stantial argument, that can supolaut the olid work of the framcrs of our system. The niont they can say is that things are chanced. But the purpose of the war was not to revolutionize, but to establish. It is not more competent for Congress to go into the several States now, and dictate the terms of sullrnge, than it was before the war. If It be, then it can be shown re corded on the programme ol the purposes of the war. To say that it grew as a result out of the work of war, is merely to admit that the war has wholly broken up and de stroyed our republican system. There can be no valid objection to the preva lence of the impartial-suffrage principle. Base it, as here, in Massachusetts on citlfenship taxa tion, and a certain degree ot intelligence, and no reasonable man will question the fact that it Is calculated to strengthen tbe political character of every State that adopts it. These three simple and comparatively easy qualifications are per fectly lair, and do not derogate from the value nnd dignity of the elective franchise. They bestow it with freedom enough, and still sur round it with the safeguards that are calculated to enhance it in the popular esteem. Those who acctuire it ieel that it U an acquisition; to be without it after cominer to manhood, would mark the denied individual unenviably. And from such considerations, it becomes a possession that sneaks the general authority with an appreci able emphasis. These qualifications, which we have flamed as peculiar to Massachu-elts, we should be glad to see adopted by every Mate in the Union. Tuey are just, because they are impartial. We would like to see them set up as a common standard of suffrage, to which men of all conditions and colors should duly report themselves for exami nation. Color ought to have no more to do with the matter than size. Only establish a proper standard, and then apply it impartially. A rule of that sort is too firmly fixed in justice and equality to be shaken. It commends itself too clearly to the right sentiment of tbe entire body of our countrymen, to be successfully tra versed bv objections. Once let this principle be fairly presented to the people of the several States, with the knowledge on their part that they alone are to have the disposal and settle ment of it, and we sincerely believe it would not be long before it would be adopted by every State in the Union. But adoption is another matter from enforce ment The most patient examination fails to reveal the authority from which Congress de rives the power which many latterly claim for it, to go Into the States and compel them to adopt a particular rnle of suffrage, or to abolish all rules entirely. Not only ts the ballot, which is tbe source of authority, corrupted by so Wniiincr a nrncnas. hni. the nrinuirv prerogative of the States themselves is seized and trampled upon. The ballot Iosps its purity, the State is robbed by open violence, and the people are taught a lesson in orbitrorv proceedings which they can as readily put in practice In the future without regard to the ballot as with. We repeat that we shall rejoice at the adop tion of impartial suffrage by all the States, North and South ulike; but we should not like to see that or any other sound and excellent principle forced upon the citizens of the States oy any outside power whatever. There Is such a thing as practically ruining even a good prin ciple by a bad method of applying it. We are at perfect liberty to dlseinw thin mat tni within those limits bv which Olir AU7T1 nstHristf) 1 nAirP is bounded; and we may set forth ninnhio an illustration of our convictions as a local example will admit; but it is not allowed us to combine In Congress to compel other States to follow that example, though it were the perfection of reason in itself, and the ne plus ultra of juttice and morality. A Cool Idea. Experiments bnve recently been made with "chilled projectiles," which have proved them to be prodigiously destructive. Of old, when it happened that an enemy hove in sight, the order to tbe gunners waa to "give it to him hot," In future, 'take it coolly' will, perhaps, be tbe command: and we shall not hear so much about the heat of an engagement, when the victory is wot by chilled projectiles Md cold etfU ftmch.

Daring Attempt to Victimise tha Sixth Rational Bank A Twenty Thousand Dollar Check Tha Forger Arrested A Yonng bnt Hardened Criminal. A most daring attempt at forgery on the Sixth National Bank ot this city was made on Thurs day, and would have resulted successfully bnt lor tbe lact that the perpetrators were too eairer to secure a large amount. Early on Thursday forenoon a lad about sixteen years old, and ap parently a clerk, presented himself at the office of the Sixth National Bank, corner of Thirty tilth street ami Broadway, and stated to the cashier, Mr. John B. Dobler, that he bad been sent for a check-book bv Mr. James A. Dorman. Mr. Dorman is a wealthy distiller, doing busi ness on the corner ot Tbirty-clgbth street and Tenth avenue, and had been in the habit of keeping an extensive account with this bank; therefore the cashier had no hesitancy in acced ing to tbe request of the boy. In about an hour and a half afterwards the lad returned and presented to the cashier, Mr. Dobler, a check signed "James A. Dorman," for $20,000, payable to bearer. The cashier ex mnlncd the signature, and found it to be appa rently genuine. He then examined Mr. Dor man's account, and found that Mr. Dorman had not fo much money on deposit at that time. He knew, moreover, that Mr. Dorman had never been In the habit of overdrawing his account. Still he suspected no foreery, as the signature fcemed to be genuine, aud he doubtless would have paid $5000 or $10,000, If the order had called lor no more. He merely thought thai there must be some mistake, anil on requesting the lad to wait, sent lor Detective Irviucof the Twentieth precinct. This officer was prompt in arriving, when be dis covered that the lad was an old offender named William A. Slari-h, a most hardened yonng repro ha e, who last spring had been arrested for stealing seven hundred dollars, tut who bad mauaged to escape punishment througn the influence of respect able relatives, The boy, who had waited Impa tiently ail this while, and had mantles tol much uneasiness, now that he was oornored put a bold front on tbe matter and made a clear confession. He stated tbat he had copied the signatnre irom an old ctrock oi Mr. Dormro which bo had found, ihe Tonthful ori'oner was arraigued betore Justice Dodge yesterday and committed tor trial, bail being letused.

Death of Major "William 11. Lewis, the j Friend and Adviser General Jackson. I From the Xashville Dispatch, November 13. i We are called upon to chronicle the death of j another old citizen. Major William B. Lewis, one of ihe oldest and most highly esteemed citi- yens ot this county, died at his residence, near Nashville, yesterday. He was, we believe, about I "ighty-two years of age. Major Lewis came to ! this county at an early day, and has witnessed I the growth ot Nashville from a small village to ; a comparatively large and wealthy city, j He was the intimate personal friend of Gene ' r il Jackson, and there was no man in the rUate to thoroughly acquainted with the history ot political parties during the administration of the old hero. He had served with General Jackson during the War f t 1812 and the Indian wars of that period, and upon the election of the latter to the Presidency, Major Lewis re r aired to Washington with hiu, and was his trusted friend ana confidential adviser during his administration. With the retirement of General Jackson, Major Lewis returned to his home on the banks of the Cumberland, where he lesided in comparative retiracy until his election to the Legislature last year. In the trouble wbich culminated in the late civil war, Major Lewis was a devoted, unfalter ing friend of the Union, and he remained firm in his faith throughout that terrible struggle. The war over, he exerted himself to heal up tbe wounds it had kit upon the body politic; and when his motives as a lecrislator were im pugned, he resigned and appealed to his consti tuents for an indorsement of his course, and . hey re-elected him by a very large majority; but the party having control of the Legislature referred his" credentials to the Committee on Elections, and that committee never reported on his case. A few weeks since Major Lewis, disgusted with the course of the dominant party iu the Legislature, reeignedthe seat to which he had been elected.

The necessity for such a change was not alto gether evident to the senses of those who have the cause of the Insane poor at heart, bat the Bonrd of Guardians, we suppose, are the sole judges of the proper ways and means for amelio rating their mental and physical condition, and we must submit to their verdict, expressing the hope, however, that this rhange will not, as we have reason to fear, defeat the very object which it has in view. Dr. Samuel W. Butler, the old Physician and Superintendent of tbe Department, has boen at its head for the past seven years. When he entered upon his Juties, in 1S59, he found the institution iu a state of lamentable disorganiza tion. The previous management had been such as to instil Into the wandering minis of the inmates the , idea that those in whose charge they were placed were their natural enemies. They regulated tbclr conduct accord ing to this mistaken notion. Violence and insubordination were the necessary result, and the grand object of the institution was thereby defeuted at every step. Dr. Butler encountered the full force of this at the commencement of his administration. He was frequently aasailed with violence by the inmates, and on one occasion a combative female succeeded in knocking several of his teeth down his throat. How Violence Was Put an End to toy Dr, Iiuilr. A marked change in this reipect was soon accomplished by the new Superintendent. It was effected in a single day, and In a rather ludicrous manner. Shortly after he had entered upon his duties, he was one day visited by a patient who requested a permit to leave the grounds for a walk in the neighborhood. He was not usually a violent man, although he had the reputation of being something of a bully, and it had been the custom occasionally to grant him such a lnvor as he then asked. The Doctor was about to write out the permit, when he noticed that the applicant had been at his old trick of drinking. When he mode this dis covery, he ptompLly ordered the man to return to his quarters. The order was sullenly obeyed; but in a few moments the crazy fellow returned, swearing that he would kill the Doctor. , The latter had no one to rely upon for assistance save an insane clerk who happened to be present. His autuponist was a large, burly man, who carried over two hundred pounds of flesh upon his bones. Dr. Butler is a .imall man, and the odds were fearfully against him. However, he watched his opportuntty, and just as the bully was about to strike the first blow, the Doctor dropped upon his knees, and thrusting his head between the legs of the former, he sent him sprawling over his back upon the floor. Bo astonished wits the maniac at this skilful manoeuvre that, assiHtnnce opportunely arriving, he tamely sub mitted, aud was led away. After this occur rence, it was' bruited about tho wards thut Doctor Butler was a match in physical strength for any of the Inmates, and turbulence and violence at once subsided. The burly maniac himself afterwards made the most ample apolo Cies to the doctor, whom he soon learned to appreciate us a true friend. It was not long before he was entirely cured of his insanity, and transferred to the Pauper Department of the Almshouse. There were several other Heforms Recommended by Dr. Butler.' Prominent among these was the occupation of all the patients who were not absolutely In capable of engaging in any physical employ ment. By the universal verdict of medical men who have made the study of insanity a specialty, tbis it the true theory of a curative treatment. Labor is the greatest boon of mankind. A con tented mind can spring only irom constant and healthful occupation. That this rale should bold true with respect to the Infirm In mind la certainly In accordance with reason and com mon sense. The great argwnent which philan thropists are now urging against the confine ment of criminals without labor, it based on the numerous cases of insanity which result froan this sole cause; and when a person of weak mind has no other occupation than that of silently contemplating his wretched condition, he feels all the more keenly tbe restraints lin posed upon his liberty and actions, and becomes more demented and more violent from sheer necessity. These views have been repeatedly urged upon tbe Board of Guardians by Dr. Butter, but tiie
