FmLADELrHiA, Fa. February 24, 18S7. E.T. Belmbold, Druggist: I ear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards ol twenty years with gravel, bladder, and kidney afTec tons. during which time I have used various medlclnai preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experlencln g but 11 ttle rellot. Having seen your preparations extensively adver tised, I consulted my family physician in regard to using your Extract ot Buctau I did this because I had uBed all kinds ol advertised remedies, and had touud tbem worthless, and some ulte lnjuilous; In tact, I despaired of ever getting well , wi determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. As you advertised that It was composed of buchu, cubebt, aul tamper berrtet, H occurred to me and my physlclau as an excellent com binatlon, and. with his advice, alter an examination ot the article, and consulting again with a druggist, t eon eluded 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 gratldedat the beneficial effect, ana after using It three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much like writing you a full statement of my cose at that time, but thought mv tin provement might only be temporary, and therefore, concluded to deftr and see If It would effect a cure, knowing that It would be ot greater value to you and and more satisfactory to me.

A Plain Statement of Facts. Tho T nr.l Knnthnrn Association in New Oilcans has issued the following appeal tj Con gress and the people: Whereas, the president of the United States has undertaken, without any authoriti ' ot law, to In augurate civil governments In tne former states or lexas, Horida, Horth Carolina, ueoigia, Alabama, Jiississippi, aud touth Carolina, whica States or Territories, alter too military surrender, wore ex clUMvcly subject to the law makmg power oi the Umtd Stares; and whereas, the president, by a direct and persistent usurpation oi pretended tower, ha, by various acts and declarations, denied the power ol Congress to interlere with his usurps tion, thus attempting to repudiate and bring into subordination to the will ol the Executive the supreme political authority of the nation, it has thurelore become, In the opinion and Judgment ot the Association of Southern Loyalists nowasscm. bind at Washington, a matter of imperious political and national necessity lor the Government ot tne TJnl'ed Mates to settle at once, ana lorever, mis conflicting claim ot power between the executive and legislative departments ol the bovemmem. This Association maintain that the President, after repeated assertions bv Conrrws as to it exclusive power, and in opposition to the expressed will ot the loyal peop.e ol the nation at the ballot-box, still per sist in a contumacy thai, il allowed to prevail, will virtually unhinge the governmental framework ol tue United States under tne Constitution. The attempt to hold In subordination, and to keep under the ban of Jdifability, the Union element, and to hold it in subjection to toe Rebel element, Is a political crime that can find no apology or excuse. It la ss suicidal to the hie oi the nation as it Is unjust and wicked in purpose That portion ol the Southern people who hae voluntauly abjured their allegiance to the Government of the United States, aud as the highest evidence of abjuration reviled and de nounced and made war against it, and which bad thus become tne enemies of ihe constitution and the Union, have been the people aimost exclusively layered by Anarew Johnson lie has assisted to restore them to temporary power under pretended Mate organizations, lie has diligently worked and co-operated to assist them in the exclusion of tbe Union people of tne South from all participation in political power. He has made the Mipportol' his usurpation the test of his favoritism and encourage ment, whilst opposiiion to it has drawn from him an exhibition oi malicious animosity such on'y as wou d characterize the acts ot a depraved tyrant It needs only to look at the murders and assassi nations oi Union men and freedmen in the South to mark the atrocity ot Andrew Johnson. As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, with luil power to enloice piotection he has purpo-ely con tinued to avoid the discharge ol this highest of all duties. Whilst the loyal people of the nation have been continuously distressed by thn numberless cries coming up from the defenseless and helpless, the Executive, acting tho part of a depraved parti- tan, uas spurned an tnoir appeals, vtrn tne vol umes of evidence before h.m, to the effect that his usurping policy and tbe encouragement ot tho Rebel torccs under tt has reanimated them into murderous activity, he bos still persisted. Rebuked by the voice and verdict ol an indignant people, he still persists in his atrocious policy ot riving the control ot tbe South to Kebel-, as unrepentant of their past crimes as the loval people ol the United States are determined to establisrj and maintain protective government. It is maintained by this Association, by Congress, and by the loyal people ot the United Stat s, that Congress alone has the power, and the exclu-ive power, to establish, maintain, and secure, under laws to be enacted, protective republican govern ment In these Southern (states We lurther main tain that no progress is possible to be made as long as Andrew Johnson shall be permitted to stand on his usurpation, defying the power of Congress, and heedless ot tho execution of the laws oeslpned to afford protection. The law-making and executive power ot the nation must be brought into harmony ; and until this conjunction transpire no settlement ot our difficulties can evon bo commenced. The con cert oi executive and legislative power is indispen sable. We know ol no other way than that tue Executive, who diregaros tbe legitimate Jurisdic tion oi the law-making power, as well as the verdict oi the people, should be di.-piaced. The law of nesessitv, which dictates tbe preservation ot pro tective republican government under the Constitu tion, is tho highest ol ad public consideration'. It is lurther maintained by this association, that the course ot the President, in connection with his usurpation, has been as deleterious In results as it was illegal in its inception. We charge that the Executive has designedly and corruptly encouraged and invited to the support of his usurpation tue Kebel element ot the South and the apologists of treason n tne North, whilst he has reviled and attempted to subvert the Union element in both sec tions, aid wickedly persisted in the attempt to piece the Union element ot tne country in political subordination to tne avowea enemies oi toe united States Government. We further maintain, that there are eight millions out of the twelve millions of people in the late slave Mutes as loyal to tbe Government ot the United States and the benencent pnncipies of the Constitu tion as any eight millions in the North. 1 be records of tbe War Department disclose the tact that those eight millions, under all tho discouragements of tneir situation, have lurnisbed more than tin ee hun dred thousand soldiers to the Union army. It is needless to dn-cuss the thousand ways in which tni Union element oi the South has assisted the Govern ment aud the soloier ot the Government in the late struggle. It remains for us to pronounce that Andrew Johnson, armed with executive iioTvtr, and bent on pre-smg bis usurpations as a duality, has not only cisreeaided all ciaimsof Union men, but wiehltQ such power lor purpones more atrocious than ever exbihitoM before by anv peison pretend ing to hold tne reins of government. Whib-t we indignantly maintain that Andrew Johnson is and should be held responsible lor the niuiderr and asai'Biuations, as well as the general abuse ol Union men and freedmen in the SouUi, we are painfully constrained to beliove that the con tinuation of this course has been too much en couraged bv tbe torbcaring policy ot Congress That body has a duty to perform in vindicating its claim to power, as much so as In the penormauce of any other duty. Toil is conlided the high power, amongst other powers, to restrain and constrain every other department ot the Government to act within the sphere of its jurisdiction. It was armed with Ihe povt er ol impeachment, and made politically supreme lor this very purpose. It is bound by Its oUioialoa h to discharge this duty as well as all others. Painful as the task may be, and distressing to the sensibilities of our people, necessity imposes on Cougios' the re quirements oi maintaining amrmauveiy, ana by an COlifiiiuuouai uieauB, tut iiuuuuai yreruiiauveB. Protective republican government, we maintain, is the common birthright of tho American people. All questions on this subioct wore foreclosed on the adoption of the Constitution. Under that clause which provideBithat ''the United States shall guar antee to every btate in this union a republican torm ot government," there is a duty imposed of a very comprehensive chaiacter. I bis clause c I the supreme law deals with Stales as States, with territories ai as well as States in a territorial condition. It em braces a war power as wen as political power, it deals with all loices In contumacy with the piotec tive teal urea of tbe Constitution. It is tue auxiliary power conlided to Congress In the adoption ot all means neoessary and proper to maintain and pre serve tbe recogni zed rights ot citizenship. When it is considered that in connection with this tbe mili tary power olthe nation including the President as commander-in-chief, was designedly made subor dinate to toe law-making power, we may be led to know that tbe Iramtrs ot the Constitution designed to maxe tbe Congressional tribunal of States practi cally supreme, at least so tar as regards tho right and power ot enforcing tbe principle of protection. 1 be Amenean people will never oonsent to allow this power in their repreentauves to be usurped or dli-P'Sced by the Executive will, nor will they com placently allow their representatives to suomit to any SUCD usurpauuu uu ui t'lviouBoa wuaisouver. This Association again repeat and again urge that the power and the will of the loyal people of this nation, speaking through their loyal lepreseuta tives, must be vindicated. Without this tuera can be no settlement between the loyal aud contuma cious foroe now maintaining antagonisms that are irreconcilable. We know as well as we can morally know suythlng, that while Congress stands flruily on this high and Impregnable ground or "rights to s.l and Justice to all." that body will be sustained. On the foregoing declarations we, tbe members of this Association, take the appeal to Congress and the loyal people of tbe nation Washington, January 12, 1867. On motion, the foregoing document was approved by the Association, and ordered to be signed by tbe President and secretary, and published. Thomas J. Dukamt, President. D. H. Bingham, secretary.

About 5 o'clock last evening a fire originated on the first floor of one of the large hve-story storage warehouses occupied by Messrs. Har riott A Shilling, at the corner of Washington and North Moore streets. The tire is supposed to have originated from the Ignition ot gas, a gas man having been at work In the ollice of tbe nrm but a lew minutes before tbe outbreak of the tirn, and using a spirit-lamp. The buildings are numbered on Washington street 360 and 30H, and contained at the time of ths tire 4040 bales of cotton. About 60 bales were got out by the insurance patrol and the Fifth Precinct police, under Captain Petty. Tbe flre ran rap.dly through the buildings, aud utterly defied the etlorts ot tbe firemen to prevent its spread.

The Court thought it hardly proper that a plaintiff ihould he sworn in his own suit, and It he were, the oath was extra Jmllcial. Lennox did not positively remember that U'liourke had been sworn in making his statements. But Mr. Temple, mem ber of tbe bar, woo was counsel for Lennox at the suit, lestliied that when the perjury was committed durinir hearing, in which Lennox was chargeu with obtaining money under false pretenses, Lin. dox rave O'Kourke a check for 920 on a firm with which he had no account.

Ihe surviving heirs ot Catherine Yohe fiied in this Court their petition lor the annoiut- I nieiit of appraisers, as provided for in the eighth I section of tbe act ol April 16 1842 (Paraph. L. 637), i ior tbe ascertainment oi sucb damages as they may have sustained by reason of tbe occupation of ' Jones Hotel. " in this city, the property oi tha petitienois, for purposes connected with tho sup pression of the laie Rebellion. Tbe report ot the Appraisers is before us for con firmation, rejection, or for reference back to them, nnder instructions, as to tue principles which should guide them in making up tbeir award. The peti tioners c almed that they bad sustained it loss of at least 842, 0( 0 in addition to the loss of rent for the premises, and the Appraisers have appraised their damages at 1 40,000. The basis of this claim is the alleged sacrifice of the property at .sheriff's sale, on a judgment obtained on a mortgage for 987,000, the interest of whioh re mained unpaid, as the petitioners claim, br reason of tbe damage to tbe pioperty, committed by those w ho occupied it as a barrack for soldiers, and as a place, lor the storage of arms and ammunition. 'l i e testimony taken by tbe appraisers established beyond contradiction the serious damage done to tbe property, that it was thereby rendered un- : tenantabie, that loss ot rent resulted: tbe interest 1 on the mortgage became In arrear, and by reason of ! non-payment of interest, judgment was obf-tned on tbe mortgage, and the property sold fo- 9CH.0JO, 1 much less than the real value, i Tbe testimony lurther shows that not very Jong before, tbe property was put up at public sale, nd j a bid of f 00 000 obtained for it, which was refused ! by the owners. The price demanded was $110 000, ' and that tbepuichaBer at Sh nil's sale sold it about , s'X months thereafter, at private sale, lor S0 M I and that he ciaims that be would not lake $150 000 ! lor If. That the property was sold at a great sscriflc3 is e'esriy established. To make good this loss to the owners the ap praisers have allowed them compensation. Were ! they Justilled in taking this element ol loss into , consideration, and making it part of their award r i Tbe act under which the petition Is filed does not, we think, contemplate the giving of remote or eon I sequential damages. It provides tbat where lands i or tenements are occupied by troops the owners mar i apply for the appointment of appraisers, who, : I aving been sworn or affirmed to make a Just and i true valuation ot tbo alleged damages, shall proceed ! to view tne premises, and hear any testimony pre- senied or desired by Bid appraisers, j 1 be compensation contemplated by this section I of the act seems to be for occupation, and tbe direct I nnd immediate damage to tbe real estaie, resulting ! Irom oocupi tlon of lands or tenements by troo .s i raised tor the suppression of the Rebellion And i because, under tbe exigenoy of tbe occasion lauds l t.ud tenements were appropriated without tbe oou , tent ol the owner, tbe Mate bold itself bound to i make good sucb damages as the owner should from this cause sustain; or, at loast, it provided for the ; pFccrtainment of tbe amount of the damages, look i ing, doubtless, to ultimate compensation ot the owner, though the aet as to payment is si ent. In the absence ot an express agremunt, it recog nizes the implied promise of the htate to pay to the citizens the Just and true va'ue of the damage which they should sustain by reason of the 8Ute taking and occupying thoir lands and tenements lor the Accommodation oi troops raised under the authority ol the Commonwealth. . Tbe n essure ot damages in a case of this kind, Is that which results direotlv and linn ediately from the act itself, but not to give compensation for re mote and consequential loss. It this be the correct view, then the appraisers were In error in taking into account tbo lots which resulted to the owner of the Jones Hotel, from a sale of the proporty by the Mienfr, on their own mortgage. It by no means follows, that II rent bad been received the interest wou'd have been paid, or that (he bolder of the mortgagowonld not have loreclosed, and sold lu order to collect the principal of his debt. But whether this would have bexn the oass or not, we bold is not material, inasmuch as we do not un derstand the act of 1802, as oovering a olaiin for loss, resulting from the sa e of the property, on tho mortgage ot the petitioner, even though such sale may lie properly traoed back as a rNnote oonse quence to tbe damage done to the real estate by the troops who for a time occupied it. J he appraisers should have allowed the petitioners a juBt compensation for rent ot premises, and a'oo tor the injury done to the property by tbe troops, or whilst in their possession, and for gas consumed by them, for which the petitioners allege they were compelled to pay. The report is set aside, and referred back to the a ppiaisers, to appraise the dan sges upon the basis above stattd. t. , , ::. i .

The following article is from the Ne York. Herald of this morning: "On Thursday last considerable excitement was occasioned on Wall ttreet by tbe announcement ot the sudden death ot Mr. Yelverton, the President of the Bank ol North America, and the rumor that tbe lamentable event was in some way connected with losses sustained by that institution. All man ner of reports lound currency for a time, and a miniature panio was manufactured; but tue tacts soon becane known, and were lound in substance to be that a stockbroker firm, enjoying good credit at the bank, had overdrawn their aooount to the amount ot one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, and suspended payment. Their drafts had been certified by ibe deceased President, who had confidence in tbeir stability and integrity ; and the news of tbeir failure bad so alfeoted him as to occasion the attack which resulted In his death. Ibe bankruptcy of this firm was not in itself an event of much moment. They were what is known as an open board house or curbstono brokers, and their liabilities weie not of great magnitude. It is said, too, that they bad put up securities sutlioient to cover a great part of tbe debt due to the bank. The bank itself was in sound condition, Its surplus being nearly double the amount of the overdrafts, sup posing tbe latter to be a total loss. It was only tbe tragical event accompanying the failure that gave it its apparent impoitance. 1 here is, however, a les son in this occurrence whfen, it properly studied, may be proauctive of good results. A bank has a fiducial cuaracter. It has no rigat to risk its funds wantonly and unnecessarily to aocommoda'e any of Its customers, it capital is not tbe property of its president, nor its cashier, nor of any of Its officers, f bey wnpli act as tbe agents and trustees of the stockholder and depositors, and are bound to be even more careful ol the funds entrusted to tbeir keeping than if they were tbeir own exclusive pro perty. It is a gross breach of trust lor any offiosr ol a bank to certify the check oi any party who has not sutbeient securities to cover the amount within i ne i each and control of Ihe institution. Least of nil should they certify large overdrafts by stock broker, who stand much in the same position as gamblers, and whose large fortunes of to-day may le broken down and swopt away to morrow oy tome sudden change in the market. An unex pected rise or fall in a fancy stock, to any mate rial amount, will often turn tbe milllonnaire of one moment into the pauper of tbe next, and the very laot of a stock-broker needing to make a heavy overdraft on his banking account implies that be is plunging into a speculation which cbanos may p ake remunerative or ruinous, the reckless man ner in which manv of our banking institutions con duct their business is notorious, and this is espe cially the case with banks connected wuh tbe stock jobbers and speculators on Broad street. The stock holders and depositors in such institutions are en. 'titled to some protection, and if it is not to be found in tne prudence,' integrity, and firmness ot those who act in tbe capacity ot presidents and cashiers, it shouid be secured by some stringent legislation. Ihe ofiioer who certified an overdraft in any bank ing institution should be be!d respnnsiole in his individual property for any loss that may ensue from bis act." Philadelphia Trade Report.
