LEARNING TO SER.
All of us who are interested in
.Art talk a great
deal about how rawow and how
to color, while we to
almost entirely h forget - a very
important preliminary—that of learning how to
see
In reflecting upon painting, we will become
more and more convinced that this is
the all-powerful requisite to which the
hand under long discipline conforms; that it is
the COUSMOUS inability to see accurately
which makes us labor vainly over our work, tag
ing off-and adding on, changing, erasing, a
repeating, until we almost despair of sue ,
and bionic, the untaught hand for the negli ce
of our ignorant eyes.
The beet method of execution is tba sio'plest;
and if we can but comprehend thorouthly, at
first, what is to be done, the way to AO it will
lose half of its difficulties. Let ue then devote a
few moments to learning how to fee.
While indebted to no one of °wave senses more 1
than to that of sight, it is, perrePs• the least cut
&Med. We enjoy the attrrettions of sunshine
and shadow; of flower garden and autumn-tinted
wood; we arc happy in writhing the genial faces
of friends about us; we leern the general appear-
slice of objects around sa,-and, while admiring
ers g
some, just notice oth enouh to keep out ot
their way. We maks. our eyes labor on over
pages and rows of nmiliar little characters, and
thatis all we do win them.
Now, if we sugosed ourselves able to draw
without epecials tivation of this sense of sight,
we would resemble a self-styled vocalist who
could not Berke a given note with certainty in
singing, or a blind man who could feel but not
disfinguishhis letters, thus showing that hearing
and touch were far from what they should be.
We should resemble many a professed judge of
vrine,tvito can only give a decided opinion when
kenos the label on the bettle. Nothing is more
canonising of what we musty needs learn in future
thin a realization of the trouble we have had
fad the time we' have °cell.
,
pied in learning •to • see in the
modified way that we now do. An infant, whose
sight is as new to him as everything else, reaches
out very innocently for the sun, moon, or any
attractive object quite out of distance, and, is ap
parently mystified at not attaining it. And,
with every month and year of his growth, he is
experimenting with all his senses, and not trust
ing one of them until ho has a unanimous verdict
from the whole. He sees a block, but does not
knowwhat a quadrangular Solid is until he feels
it. He spies an orange` and receives his
first idea of a ball or globe upon getting it into
his hands, when he generally finds the idea easiest
to hold. '-50... his investigations occupy a long
time, and he finally understands at a glance what
the forms of most objects aro only from many
previous assurances. We laugh at the ilifilcul
ties of the infant in seeing, and forget how they
are revived for us at the sight of an entirely new
object. Every one, at intervals, 'in turning
the corner of a street, entering the door
of a museum, or going through a manu
factory, sees something quite new and
incomprehensible,and does he or she not then
return in habit to the ways of childhood? Does
the person not endeavor to get closer to the
object, to walk around it, to see it from every
possible direction,and only thus assure himself of
its actual form ? We do all this to ascertain ex
tent, to get a general idea of objects about us,
and having done so, are indifferent to further
knowledge until Art increases our interest and
sopene to us a world of beauties which were before
tinkneiwn. •
We generalize, and are often astonished at pro
'pardon and detail. A man's hand is as long as
his face; his foot half as long as the distance from
his knee to the ground; his extended arms equal
his height; it is but little over a span from the
elbow to the wrist; a horse's head from between
the ears to the lip is as long as a flour barrel is
high. We can think of many facts of this
kind which we insisted upon testing at
first bearing, and others continually discover
themselves. There are continualproofs
of bow inaccurate our sight really is.
'And when so in mere.proportion, what shall we
'think of the difficulties which distance or the
Jerspective of objects occasions? Very few can
udge with any certainty of the width of a house
or street, or the measure of space between them
selves and any given point or object. If they
view an object at an angle, the retreating side
will appear much wider than it actually is found
to be. These things prove not only how
poorly educated our eyes in themselves
are, but how much they rely upon the
iniderstanding perfected by actual investi
gation and measurement. We are taken
back t mathematics as the basis of our knowl
edge, aid realize that Art is no leas the child of
Science, however great the influence of her guar
dian, Fancy, may be.
Before going through some practical ex
ercises, I would refer to a difficulty which may
surprise you as much as the subject of my re
marks,and this is the difficulty which results from
having two eyes. We should none of us care to
sacrifice an eye permanently in the interests of
Art, and yet I hope to show that the possession of
two in learning to draw gives us much trouble.
Years ago people were puzzled by the fact that
LO matter how accurately a group of objects
were painted, a beholder, if deceived at the first
glance, would, upon a second, be aware of the
unreality of what he saw. They did not think
then what we, most of us, now know, that every
one owning two good eyes, has two distinct and
slightly different views of the same scene. The
spectator not only sees more of the side of any
object with ono eye than with the other, but he
sees more of the background of the object,
whatever may constitute it. Nothing
makes this more evident than the examination of
a stereoscopic view, in which the two pictures
are taken trompoluts equal in distance to the
separation of the eyes. Compare these two pic
tures. You will see more of the left side of any
object in the immediate foreground of the left
band view than you do in the opposite. In the
right band view (or that of the right eye) the
proportion will be reversed. So, if there is a wall
to the right of both pictures, the left one will give
more of the horizon or distance behind.
A -tree trunk in the foreground will, in the
diffesent pictures, conceal different sections. of
the hill's aniline beyond. , , .
These comparisons are very interesting, and
make ns realize practically why nature has a
. relief which the skill of a master cannot rival upon
a perfectly flat surface. ,
But shut one eye—see Nature from but one
point of view—and she is entirely under the con
trol of art, as far as design is concerned, although
in brilliancy of effect or color she may
possibly evade us. Take but ono pic
ture of the stereoscope, and all its
beautiful relief and reality is lost; it becomes
hardly more impressive than the production of an
experienced artist, so that a person who is only
able to see with one eye, while he can no' longer
detect the charming duplicities of nature,will yet
find in every high effort of art a truthfulness
and strength which we may well envyaiim the
enjoyment of, while our perception of 'how far
imitation differs from reality is to us doubly evi
dent.
We cannot bring the art of painting up
to nature; let us, then, take a desperate alterna
tive, and only deign to regard her with one eye.
I doubt not that this, although a familiarity, will
have the effect of drawing tier morn closely.
We have now found that our eyes are not to
be trusted, individually or collectively, and re
turn to the idea that a knowledge of size and
proportion is indispensable to that right under
standing of what we wish to see and to imitate.
Geometry is the science of this knowledge.
It deals with the primary forms which
are elaborated or disfigured in every
object that we see, and one can no more
attain prominence art by en eavoriug to set
aside elementary figures in order to reach their
more elegant developments than a builder, could,
who, with uu ornate edifice to imitate, should
proceed without finding the simple proportions
of his model. The artist who makes a study of
some beautifully chiselled tomb or pedestal
should certainly be able to draw a box
accurately, and wo may 'be sure that
if a carpenter informs him that the box is'Eit feet
long, two feet wide and three high, his work will
be all the more cerrect.
The carpenter and mason are the geometri
eitunfOf every-day life, and we have learned there
is watching their labors than we may at first bra
, sigine. Let us develop thielearnieg;lotixe put it
, wore constantly into practice, in thought if not
by actual demonstration; let us renew the satis
faction in our own work which we have felt in
seeing the accuracy of that accomplished
try others, and realize above all that
we are not pursuing a different path
from those who work with square and
,
plummet, but / ere `only far in advance of
them upon th same road. While they are surely
e
vcr
perfecting si ple forms, let us not be vaguely
rendering c plex .ones. •If we suppose our
selves cepa eof ever expressing upon a fiat sur
face elaborite representations, full of grace and
beauty, lieW certain we should be of the simple
reality, the elementary truth, which, in art as in
till - else ican - alone sustain -a fair superstracture.
We suld know this truth; then,
to recognize it
and
e"pl
any disguise. We should understand
fo in its actual character, that our eyes may
n be deceived in its appearance. In an invest'-
tion 'of form, we take it for granted that the
, esigning of simple geometrical figures is well
understood, and define three processes as ac
cessary before we arrive at a perfect representa-•
tion of an object as it appears to the eye:
First—The design of the different faces of an
object and its construction, which is called store
ographic drawing, or the design of solids on a
plan.
,second-" The elevation" of an object, which is
termed orthographic design.
Third—The rendering of this orthographic
drawing in perspective or scenographic effect.
"In stereographic drawing (I quote from a
treatise on painting; by Montabert,) we obtain a
knowledge of measures, dimensions, proportions.
assemblages or construction of either the parts of
an object, or of it as a whole."
Before going further, 1 will illustrate what I
mean. Let Us return to the carpenter's system
again and try to understand, as ha does, .a box, 6
feet long, 3 high and two wide.—[We are com
pelled to omit Mr. ileaton's dlagnans.—En.]
"These designs (to quote again,) serve to make
us know positively, and as by analysis, the ob
ject that we propose to represent in perspective."
"And with these alone we may proceed to repre
sent the object in perspective under any desired
aspect." "Remark also that by this moans wo
are able to correct and perfect the object, to cre
ate it by the imagination and re-unite all the de
tails:" "Geometry being the inexhaustible source
frOm which all the arts draw their elements or
first laws, he or she who possesses its principles
and practice will butter know than
one who ignores it all that is relative
to form. She will understand better the
relations of distances. She will finally,
express better the measures and relations of the
aspect of objects, and consequently the con
tours and varied appearance of the human
figure."
Before going to orthographic design, a glance
at mechanical drawing will be interesting, in
which we will see that a carpenter can give a very
definite idea of the elevation of an object and rer
Lain all its proportions.
Perspective is here thrown entirely out of the
question. The box is not drawn as one would
actually appear. The elevation is accomplished
by perpendicular lines, and in the bias drawing
the proportions of some aspects are different, but
the truth the main dimensions are pre
server. The measurements are accurate, and
a notice of all this is very interesting
in our analysis of what form ac
tually is. We have the proportions
of every face as if we stood directly before it.
We BCC all from one point of view, instead of
having to go about the object and measure every
part. This is a mechanical elevation from the
plan, but in coming to orthographic drawing, we
will find the elevation is accomplished in a dif
ferent and more scientific manner. The word
orthography signifies the designing from rays,
straight and perpendicular to the surface, which
receives their projection. So that, while per
spective is still ignored, the decrease in the ap
pearance of any turned or inclined object is ta
ken into account. Orthographic drawings, in
fact, appear just as the objects they represent
would it' viewed at a distance great enough to
make the convergence of vanishing lines imper
ceptible. The shadow of a man upon a wall at
sunset is an orthographic shadow, from the rays
of the sun being parallel. A man's figure at a
great distance is orthographic, as his feet, though
moving, appear on the same line, and - do not ad
vance beyond or below each other,as they would
appear to if the man was but ten feet off.
You understand, more or less, the ordinary
manner of putting an object in perspective by aid
of horizon line, points of eight, distance, &c.
Montabert employs a secondary method, which
facilitates actual practice, especially upon iso
lated things, such as the box we are considering.
He prepares a perspective scale, and after num
bering with similar spaces the line of vision cross
ing the plan, he takes the distance of each
point of the plan from line of vision and
base line, regulates such distances from
the scale, and places each point in per
spective upon the final outline, all
without the confusion which numerous lines oc
casion in the usual process. Now, after finally
accomplishing our perspective drawing, we see
how far behind the, apparent object (be it ever so
simple) we find it necessary to go in order to
realize actual form. We cannot represent an
object unless we understand it in measurement
and proportion. ,We cannot understand
it until we appreciate it from every paint
of view. Then, and. only then, may wo assert
our capacity as painters, yield to the sculptor his
many-sided necessity of execution, and taking
not one aide ourselves, bat one point, declare that
we Lot only see, but see understandingly; see
with all the knowledge of the sculptor ere we
call in a more subtle skill to rival' the result of his
work.
In this connection, I would impress the im
portance of modelling, in clay, wax or any
convenient material, the forms that we
see about us. There is no surer
way of acquiring certain knowledge of them. It
is in making objects that we best understand
them, and what has been briefly bald of stereo
graphic, orthographic and, scenographic design,
owes its chief value to the fact that it leads ue to
make things in our own minds, and not entrust
them to careless eyes and hands.
1 could hardly have chosen a more simple
geometrical figure than a box offers, and yet I feel
satisfied that even this you have never fully
analyzed, how much less the many possible de
velopments of it and other primary forms which
we have left unnoticed.
To use any sense understandingly is to use it
best; and with a better comprehension of forth
our sight may make new observations and gain
new habits of accuracy. We have found out how
much regular lines enter into the formation of
actual thillgs. Let • us apply them also to the
apparent, and notice the general shape of every
object,considered as a whole as well as of its corn-•
ponent parts.
If we have a lard, an open hand or any
minor object directly before us, we will best ap
preciate the form by reducing it in our mind,
as well as in our outline, to the simplest figure
(generally irregular) of: which it is capable.
lf, advancing further, we have au arm or entire
body foreshortened, we will find it very difficult
to draw if we but half understand the results of
such a 'position, and, as a consequence of insuffi
cient knowledge and unpracticed sight, we
vacillate between the two, trusting neither fully,
and are unsuccessful.
But first understand the form from varied
observation, next notice its appearance from
one point and every almost illogical relation of
its parte, which we had supposed our eyes de
ceived in, will have its reason in our minds, and
we shall see without impediment.
The imagination may oiler some assistance. If
we think of the converging lines from any object
to the eye as being intersected by a perpendicu
lar lino to the line of vision,the relative, distances
of the points of interseetion will be the same as
upon the paper or canvas. A drawing in another
position will help us—the "profile" of an object
will give us a sure means of getting au ortho
graphic "face," which perspective will modify
still more.
No practical means are to be neglected. We
cannot well imagine a perfectly straight line to
guide our vision,and should use a plummet often
. to get the perpendicular relation of points,
and a rule or little spirit lever .for the hori
zontal. • We • should . get actual - dis
tances as nearly as possible by sight,
and then test them with our rules. We should
hold our rules between the eye and the object to
measure apparent distances, keepingthem as far
from the eye as our paper, and noting with our
thumbs all lengths and proportions. These
means will help our actual sight, and hard study
of the science of, form, which 1 have merely
touched upon, will help it indirectly through the
understanding.
Then, as our eyes gain now powers, we shall
use them with new delight. We shall find beau
ties and harmonies In nature which ,the many, if
they (bully see; cannot fully 'compreheini; . we
shall be ready for that higher study of 'what It Is
that makes some forms charraing . to us and others
disagreeable—the analysis of beauty in form as
we have briefly analyzed truth.
We shall share the delight of the musician
who, after cultivating his accuracy in music, may
yield to the appreciation of its melody; of the
tranelatOr who, having rendered intelligible the

words ea poet, begins to understand the noble
fancy they express.
All the fascinations of form in nature, asso
ciated with effect and color, are inviting us to
their appreciation. Lot us learn to gee them not
vaguely and unintelligibly, "AS with a glass
darkly," but with a full and clear perception of
the truth and beauty of creation on every side,
from the butterfly or bird to the fairest face wo
have ever seen; from the clover-leaf to the blue
outline of the distant hills.
The Capture of . 6 itomeol , —A. Fearful
Contest with a Ferocious Elephant.
One of the most interesting, exciting and yet
hazardous incidents which has occurred for many
a day, was the recapture and conquering on Sat
urday last of the huge Asiatic elephant Romeo,"
belonging to Adam Forepaugh's Menagerie, on
the farm of James B. Miller, in Hatboro, a small
unpretending village, twelve miles from this city,
upon whose premises ho has been quartered du
ring the past winter, together with the white ca
mels, dromedaries, horses and two other ele
phants belonging to Mr. Forepaugh's great Zoo
logical and Equestrian Combination, which will
open in Philadelphia next week.
It will be, no doubt, remembered by the ma
jority of our readers, that this is the same ele
phant that killed his keeper, Mr. William P. Wil
liams, last December, not long after going into
winter quartere l the circumstances of which
might not be uninteresting briefly to narrate in
this connection.
Mr. Williams was in the habit, with other
duties and cares, of washing and scrubbing the
elephant every few days with warm water, the
animal at the same time being chained firmly by
securing both fore feet with a massive iron chain
strongly fastened to rings, secured at the bottom
of his spacious stall, which is built of solid
masonry, of great thickness and strength, upon
which rests the Weight of a ponderous super
structure. From several circumstances that had
transpired but a few days previous, such as the
annihilation of a pet cat, the knocking down of
a camel which happened to come in the way,
Mr. Williams, his keeper, was advised to be on
his guard; but having great confidence he took
no precautionary measures, and thus it happened
that while he was in the act of procuring a fresh
supply of water, with which to wash him, his
back being turned, the elephant struck him a
powerful blow with his trunk, prostrating him
upon his face, breaking his spinal column and
rendering him instantly helpless.
Immediately the elephant caught him with his
trunk, drew him beneath his fore-feet, gored him
with his tusks, knelt upon him with his knees,
literally crushing every bone in his body. At
this fearful crisis, Mr. Miller and other members
of the family, alarmed by the cries of the unfor
tunate man, came to the rescue, and, by means of
forks, spears, eat., succeeded so far in diverting
the attention of the infuriated monster from his
victim as to extricate the dying man from his
power. Mr. Williais, it is hardly necessary to
add, lived but two liours after this sad event.
Being securely chained, be was, of course, unable
to do any further mischief, and in this predica
ment he has remained all winter, no person be
ing able to conquer and subdue him. Of course.
if permitted to remain eo all the time, `he would
be harmless enough, but ;the traveling season for
the menagerie approaches, and his lordship is
needed somewhere else,and some means, therefore,
must be devised by which he can be subdued and
made available for the approaching campaign.
In this extremity Mr. Forepaugh was otAiv(l
to secure the services of his old keeper, Mr. Stuart
Craven, who had been in charge of him before he
was imported to America, and for six years since
that event, but who, in consequence of declining
health, was advised to travel in Europe, and
about eighteen months ago set out for the Orient,
and wishing to combine profit with.pleasure. he
pursued his journey into the interior of Africa,
Asia and Lower Egypt, accumulated an extensive
assortment of the most rare and eurious animals
and also of the feathered tribe, among which were
some of the finest specimens of African and
Asiatic elephants, camels and dromedaries,
ever imported into-this country, all of which have
been recently mergeOuto the mammoth mena
gerie belonging to Adana Forepaugh.
Mr. Craven beingsin experienced animal tamer,
was deemed the most advisable person to take
charge of the recapture of "Romeo," as ho is the
only person who has over succeeded in conquer
lag and subduing this, the largest specimen of an
Asiatic elephant on thisi continent. To this end,
Mr. Craven proceeded on Saturday last, assisted
by that fearless and intrepid animal performer,
Mr. James Forepaugh, to Hatboro, accompanied
also by an army of men with ropes, tackles and
chains, to bring this monarch of the Oriental
jungle to his haunches = who has been a kind of
terror to that community ever since the unfortu
nate death of Mr. Williams.
At first the sight of these men enraged the pas
sionate animal to such an extent, that for a
moment his pursuers hesitated to approach him,
and apparently succumbed to the matchless
power of this giant of the desert. Soon, how
ever, preparations were,, made to conquer him,
but "Romeo," conscious of his superior strength,
became more combative, and contemptuously
treated every effort to secure and subdue him,
until it was evident .that some more effectual
means and appliances must be resorted to in
order to dislodge him from his strongholds. The
chief point now to be accomplished was to so
hamper and entangle his legs In the massive
'chains with which be was confined to the stall as
to render him at once hors du combat. In this
Mr. Craven, assisted try George Forepauuh, the
renowned elephant hunter, was more than equal
to the task.
_
By an adroit movement of a species of lasso a
large rccie was looped around his hind leg, in
stantly tightened by a triple fall-block, and by
the aid of a large concourse of people, attracted
by curiosity to witness the capture, he was
brought to realize for the sixth tune of his life
that "knowledge is power," and to its mandates
he must sooner or later succumb. Before yield
ing, however, he made some desperate lunges at
his keeper, and several times came near annihi
lating him with his trunk. It was hard for
"Romeo," however, to kick against the goads.
Re gradually found himself in a rack which out-
Ileroded the palmiest days of the Inquisition.
In spite. of himself he was finally brought
down, to the no small delight of the spectators.
But he was so obstinate and indomitable that ho
would not beg tor mercy. When the elephant Is
subdued be usually makes his acquiescence man-
ifest by a plaintive noise, which, those accut
towed to the animal know and understand as
well as a mother knows the cry of her child. All
day Saturday was consumed, and Saturday night
found him still obstinate. Sunday morning
came and still he was unwilling to yield. How
ever excruciating the torture, writhing til day
Sunday in his galling chains, Monday morning
came and with it a disposition to yield to the
conquest. At nine o'clock Monday morning,
Mr. Craven had him completely uNer his con
trol, and never was a whipped spaniel more do
cile.
Looting his chains the keeper found no diffi
culty in conducting the conquered monarch to.
this .city, on Monday. As he will be on exhibi
tion at Manayunk, Wednesday, April 1, our citi
zens need have no apprehensions of danger, as
"Romeo," like •Richard the Third, is "himself
again."
Something of an adequate idea of the marvel
ous size of this mastodon of the animal kingdom
may be formed when it was discovered, on
weighing him after his capture, that the scales
were brought down to five tons and three hun
dred pounds.—lnquirer.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
GLOBE OF TNSTERDAVO PROOEBOUTGO.
Walter A. Burleigh sworn• on behalf of the man
agers.
Direct examination by Mr. Humes—Q. What is
your name and position? A. My name is Walter
A. Burleigh, and I am a delegate from Dakota Terri
t°4". Do you know L. Thomas; Adjutant-General. of
the Army? A. I do.
Q. How long have you known him? A. For several
years; I don't know how long.
Q,. • Have you been on terms of intimacy, with him?
A. I have.
Q. Has be been at your house since you have been
here? A. Yes, sir. •
Q. Do. von remember an occasion when you bad
a conversation with Mr. Moorhead about visiting
Mr. Stanton's office? A. 1 recollent going to the
Secretary of War with Mr. Moorhead on the morning
of the 22d of February, 1 think, last.
Q. On the ' evening before had you seen General
'Thomas? A. I had.
Q. Where? A. Attis house.
Q. What time in the evening? A. In the early part
Of the evening; Feannot say precisely the hour.
Bad you a conversation with him? A. Yes, sir
Mr. ANBERY—What is the relevancy of that?
What is the object?
Mr. Burxze—The object is to show the Intent and
purpose with which General Thomas went to the War
Department on the morning of the 22d; that ho went
with the intent and purpose of taking possession by
force; that ho alleged that intent and purpose; that in
•consequence of that allegation Mr. Burleigh invited
General Moorhead and went up to the War Office;
from the conversation what I expect to prove 1s this
—after the President of the United States had ap
pointed General Thomas, and given him directions to
take the War Office, and after he had made a quiet
visit there on the 21st, on the evening of the 22d he
told Mr. Burleigh that the next day he was going to
take possession by force. Mr. Burleigh said to him—
Mr. Sr Sniffler-140 matter about that. We object
to the testimony.
Mr. Herten—Then you don't know what you have
to object to, if you don't know what it is. [Laugh-
The CUlEis JUST/Ca decided the testimony admis
sible, speaking in a very low tone.
Senator Dearta—l sappose the matter of admitting
the testimony is a matter for the Senate and not for
he presiding officer. The question should be sub
mitted I think, to the Senate. I take exception the
presiding officer undertaking to decide the point.
The Ours JUSTICE, rising --The Chief Justice is of
opinion that he should decide upon objections to
evidence. If he is incorrect in that opinion, it is for
,the Senate to correct him
Senator DRAKE-4 appeal from the decision of the
Chair, and demand the decision of the ?Senate.
Senator Fowten asked that the question be stated.
The ClifES• JUSTICE-1 he Chief Justice would state
to the Senate that in his judgment it is his duty to
decide on questions of evidence in the first instance,
and that if any Senator desires that the question shall
then be submitted to the Senate, it is his duty to do
it. do far as he is aware, this is the uniform course
of practice on trials of persona impeached in the
Senate of the United States.
Senator Dmirty.—My position. Mr. President, is that
there le nothing in the rules of this Senate, sitting
upon the trial of an impeachment, that gives that
authority tothe presiding officer over the body. That
is my ;coition of order.
Senator Joireemv-1 call the Senator to order. The
question is not debatable.
Mr. Herten—lf the President pleases, is not this
question debatable ?
The CIIIEP Jr - nice—lt is debatable by the mana
gers and the counsel for the President.
Mr. Henze—We have the honor, Mr. President
and gentlemen of the Senate. to object to the ruling
just attempted to be made by the presiding officer of
the Senate, and with the utmost submission, but with
an equal degree of firmness, we must insist upon oar
objection, because otherwise It would always put the
managers in the condition, %%hen the ruling is against
them, of appealing. to the Senate as a body against the
ruling of the chair. We have been too long In parlia
mentary and other bodies. not to know how much dis
advantage it Is to be put in thatposition—the position
of apparent appeal from the decision of the chair,
either real or apparent, and we are glad that the case
has come on upon a ruling of the presiding
officer, which is in our favor, so that we are not invid
ious in making the objection. Although we learn
from what has fallen from the presiding officer that
be understands that the precedents are in the direction
of his intimation, yet if we understand the position
taken the pre' edents are not in support of that posi
tion. Lest I should have the misfortune to misstate
'sellepositien of the presiding o ffi cer of the Senate, I
will state it as I understand It. I understand his po
, isition to be that primarily, as a judge in a Court has
a righti to do, the presiding officer claims the right to'
rule a question of law, and then if any member of the
Coot choosee to object it may be taken in the nature
of an appeal by one member of the Court. If I am
incorrect latay statement of the position of the pre
siding officer I would be glad to be corrected.
The Omar Jusnce—The Chair will state that under
the rules of the body he Is the presiding officer. He
is so in virtue of his office under the Constitution. He
is Chief Justice of the United States, and therefore,
when the President is tried by the Senate, it is his
-duty to preside in that body, and, as he understands,
he is therefore the President of the Senate. sitting as
a Court of impeachment, the rule of the Senate is the
7th rule, reading:
"The prelidtng officer may in the first instance,
submit to the Senate; without a division all questions
of evidence and incidental questions." He is not re
quired by that rule to submit these questions in the
first instance, but for the dispatch of business, as is
usual in the Supreme Court; he may express hie
opinion in the first instance, and if the Senate who
-constitutes the Coulter any member of the Court, de
sires toe& the opinion of the Senate as a court it is
his duty then to ask for the opinion of the Court.
Mr. Bergen—May I respectfully inquire whether
that extends to the managers as to a question of lave
•to be eubmitted to this Court?
The Canty JUST Icx—The Chief Justice thinks not.
It las matter for the Court.
Mr. Burs n--Thenit immediately becomes of very
important and momentous eubstance, because the pre
siding officer of the Court, who is not a member of the
-Court, and has no hand in the Court, as we understand
It, except on a auestion of equal division, gives a de
cision which prevents the House of Repreeentatives
from saltine even that the Senate shall pass upon it,
and therefore if this is the rule, oar hands are tied,
and it was in order to get the exact rule that we have
asked the presiding officer of the Senate to state, as
he has kindly and frankly stated the exact position.
Now then, I say again—
The Cone Jteritz—The Chief Justice thinks it
ri and proper for the managers to propose any
Senate
they see fit to the Senate, but it is for the
Sprite themselves to determine.
Mr. Bteructi—As I understand it, woproposo a ques
tion to the Senate, and the Chief Justice decides that
we cannotget It decided without a decision of the
Chief Justice, to which we object respectfully as we
-ought. firmly as we must. Now, upon the question
.of precedent, sorry I am to be obliged to deny the po
sition taken by thepresiding officer of the Senate.
I understand that this is a question, tne precedents
for which have been established for many years. Not
expecting the question would arise, I have not at this
moment at my hands all the books, but I can give the
leading case where the question arose.
lf I am not mistaken it arose on the trial of Lord
Stafford, in the thirty-second year of King Charles the
Second, and that the House of Lords had a rule, prior
to the trial of Stafford, by which the Commons were
bound to address the Lord High Steward as "His
Grace," or "My Lord," precisely as the counsel for the
respondent think themselves obliged to address the
presiding officer of this body as "Mr. Chief Justice."
When the preliminaries of the trial of Stafford were
eettlial; the Commons objected that they, as a part of
the Parliament of Great Britain, ought not to be called
upon throtigh their mauagere, to address any
individual whatever, but that the addrees
should be made to the Lords, A committee of con
frence thereupon was had, and the rule previously
adopted in the Rouse of Commons was rescinded, and
the rule adopted and reported that in the trial, and it
has obtained ever since in all 'other trials, that the
minagers'of the House of Commons should nut ad
dress the Lord High Stewatd, and should not ask env
thing of him,but should 'address the House as "My
Lords," showing the reason, and giving as, a reason
that the Lord High Steward was but a Speaker
_pro tem.. presiding over the body during the trial.
- When Lord Stafford came to trial, the House
of Lords instructed him that ho must address the
Lords and not the Lord High Steward at all. From that
day to the latest trial in Parliament,- which is Lord
Cardigah's in ISll,the Peri of Cardigan being brought
before the House of Lords and the Lord Chief Jus
tice Denman sitting on that trial, the universal ad
tires has been, by counsel prisoners, managers and
every body, "My Lord." There was to be no recog
nition of any superior right in the presiding' officer
over any other member of the Court, nor did that
matter stop there. in more than one case, this ques
tion has arisen. In Lord Macclesfield's case, if I re
member sightly, the question arose in this way,.
whether the presiding officer , should decide ques
tions, and he referred it wholly to the House of Lord*,
saying to the Lords "you may decide as you please."
Again when Lord Brakine presided at the trial of
Lord----,which was a trial early in this century,
coming up with as much form as any other trial, mid
with as much regard for form and for the presenetioa
of decency and order -the question was put to him
whether he would ride po.nts of law, and he ex
/geed,' disclaimed that ,power. Again; in Lord Car
digan's ease, to which I have just referred, before
Lord Chief Justice Denman, upon a question of evi
dence in regard to the admisaibilfty of a card
on which the names of "Harvey Garrett" and
'Tuckett" was placed, the question being whether the
man's name was "Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett" or
4 'Harves Garnett Tuckett" Lord
the coun s el
that
he would submit to the Lords, if the counsel desierd
to press the question, but he counsel did not desire
him to settle it. But the other side went on to argue.
and when the Attorney• General of England bad
finished his argument, Loxd penman arose and apolo
gised for having allowed him to argue, and said he
hoped it would not be 'taken as a precedent, hut say
ing he did not think it quite rieht for him to inter
fere; and when dually the.-- Lords with
drew, and Lord Deem= was ' giving his opin
ton to the Lords, of the guilt or Innocence of the
party, he apologized to the Lords for giving an °pha
lli:ln in advance,. saying that he was Q 14.7 one of them,
as he was independent of his office of Lord High
Steward,' and that his opinion was no more or
less than any of theirs', and he had only spoken first
hexane° somebody must speak. Ho says, using this
r e markable language, "this is not a court and jury;
you, my Lords. exercise the functions of both judge
and jury and the whole matter is with you,"
14ow then in the light of authority, in the light of
the precedent, in which the presiding officer
appeals in the light of reason, and in
the li ht of principle, we are bound
object.to And this is not a mere question of form;
all forms we waive; but it is a question of substance.
It is a question whether the House of Representatives
can get, on its own oration, to the Senate a question
— riflinsilf-the Chief - Justice, whO is presiding, is hi'
stand between the Senate and them. It is a question
of vital importance, but if it was of no importance, I
would not yield ono hair, because no jot or tittle of
the rights of the House of Representatives shall fall
to the ground by reason of any inattention or yielding
of mine. Let me gate it again, because to me it seems
an invasion of the privileges of the House of Repre
sentatives. It is, that when the House of Representa
tives states a question of law to the Senate of the
United States, on the trial of the President of the
United States, the Chief Justice presiding, In the
Senate. sitting as a Court, can stud between the
House of Representatives and the Senate, and decide
the question. Then, unless by the courtesy of some
member of the Senate,the House of Representatives---
through its managers urged that question of law de
cided by the Senate.
I should be inclined to deem it my duty and the
duty of the other managers. if we were put in that posi
tion, to ask instructions of the House before we al
lowed the rights of the House to be bound hand and
'foot at the beck of any man. I do not care
who he may be, for it is, I respectfully sub
mit, a question of the moat momentous con
sequence; not of so much consequence now, when
We have a learned,ahle, honest,candld and patriotic
Chief Justice of the United States, but let us look
forward to the time which may come in the history
of this nation when we get a Jeffries as Lord
High Steward. We desire that the precedents 'of
thisgood time, with good men, when everything is
quiet, when the country will not ho disturbed by the
precedent. We desire that the precedent be so set
tled that it will hold a Jeffries as it did one of old--
for it brings to my mind an instance of Jeffries' con
duct on an exactly similar question, when on the
trial of Lord Stanley, Jeffries being Lord High Stew
aid, said to the Earl as he came to plead, (I give the
substance of the words, "you had better confess and
throw yourself on the mercy of the Ring, your
master; be is the fountain of your mercy;
and it will be better for yon to do it;"and the Earl
Stanley (if I remember the name aright) replied to
him. "Are you,sir,one of my judges that give me that
advice, are you on my trial for my death?" and Jef
fries quailed before the indignant eye of the man with
whose right he tried to interfere, and said "No, I am
not one ,of your judges, and am only advising you as
your friend."
I want the precedent fixed in good times, as there
were before Jeffries, so that if we ever have the mis
fortune to have such 4 Chief Justice as we have An
drew Johnson in the chair of the President, the pre
cedent will be so settled that they cannot, in any way,
be disturbed, but will be securely fixed for all time.
The Qum , Jusrren repeated his decision. to the
effect that it was his right and duty, under the rules,to
decide preliminary queetions, in the first instance
without submitting them to the Senate, and that if
any Senator demanded the judgment of the Senate
upon them,' they might then be Submitted to the
Senate.
Senator DRAKE--I raise the question that the
pre
siding officer of the Senate has no right to make a de
cision of that kind.
The C/lIEP JUSTICE (determinedly)--The Senator is
not in order.
Senator DRAKE I not heeding the Chief Justice)—
I demand that that question he pat to the Senate.
The Curse JraTice (with etiil more determination)
—The Senator is not in order.
Senator • CONKLING —I ask whether the question is
to the competency of the proposed testimony, or as
to whether the presiding officer be competent to decide
that question?
The Cutup Jcivricc—lt is the question whether the
Chair, to the fast instance. is capable of deciding. on
that question or that the Clerk will proceed to call the
yeas and nays.
Senator CON/MING—More the yeas and nave are
called, I beg that the latter clause of the seventh rule
be read.
Senator nowenn read the whole rule.
The rule was read as follows:
The presiding officer of the Senate shall direct all
necessary preparations in the . Senate Chamber, and
the presiding officer upon the trial shall direct all the
forms of proceeding while the Senate are sitting for
the purpose of trying an impeachment. and all forms
during the trial. not otherwise specially provided for.
The presiding officer may in the first instance submit
to the Senate, without a division. all questions of evi
dence and incidental questions, but the same shall, on
demand of one-fifth of the members present, be de
cided by yeas and nays.
Mr. BINGUAIt, one of the managers, rose to call the
attention of the Senate to the language of the rule just
read, and submitted, with all due respect to the pre
siding officer, that that rule meant nothing more than
this, " - that if no question be raised by the Senate, and
one-fifth of the Senators do not demand the yeas and
nays, it authorized the presiding officer simply to take
the sense of the Senate on all questions without a
division," and there it ended. He begged leave further
to say in connection with whet had fallen from his
associate (Mr. Butler),that be looked on this quertion
as settled by the very terms of the Constitution itself;
the Constitution. he argued, providing that the Sen
ate shall have the sole power to try impeachments.
The expression,- "the sole power," necessarily
means, as the Senate will doubtless agree, "the only
power." It includes everything pertaining to the
trial, and every judgment that may be made is a part
of the trial, whether it be on a preliminary question
Or on the final question. It seems to me the word
was incorporated in the Constitution, touching pro
ceedings in impeachment, in the very light of the
long-continued usages and practice of Parliament.
It is settled in the very elaborate and exhaustive re
port of the Commons of England, on the Lord's
Journal, that the peers alone decide all the questions
of law and fact arising in such trials. In other words,
it is settled that the peers alone are the judges in
every case of the law and the fact; that the Lord
Chancellor presiding is a ministerial officer, to keep
order, to present to the consideration of the peers the
various questions as they arise, and to take their judg
ment upon them. There his authority stops.
This question is considered so well settled that it is
carried into the great text book of the law, and finds
a place in the Institutes of Coke. wherein it is de
eh/red that " the peers are the judges of the law and
the facts, and conduct the whole proceedings accord
ing to the law and usage of Psrliament." It 18:93 I
understand this question as it is presented here I
agree with my associate that it is of very great im
portance, not only touching the admissibility of evi
dence, but touching every other question that can
arise ; for example, questions which may involve the
validity or legality of any of the charges preferred in
those articles.
We understand that the question is. whether the
Senate shall decide that the presiding mincer himself.
not being a member of this body, which is Invested
with the sole power to try impeachments, and, there
fore, to decide all questions in the trial, can himself
make a decision, which decision is to stand as the
judgment of this tribunal, unless reverted by subse
quent action of the Senate. That we understand to
be the question submitted, and on which the Senate
is now to vote. It is suggested to me by my asso
ciate, Mr. Butler, that this also involves the Author
proposition that the managers, in the event of such
decision being made by the presiding officer, cannot
even call for a review of that decision by the Senate.
Senator Wn.soti moved that the Senate retire for
consultation.
Mr. Cosumwo and others--"No, no."
Mr. fiusnwiw sent to the Secretary's desk a paper,
which was read, as follows:
"I ask the managers what are the precedents in the
enact of impeachment in the United States on this
point. Did the Vice-President as presiding ofilrer,
decide pneliminary questions or did he submit them
in the first instance to the Senate?"
Mr. Botyrwarax, one of the managers, said—l am not
disposed to ask the attention of the Senate further to
this matter, as a question concerning the rights of the
Rouse. In proceedings of this kind, it seems to me
of the gravest character, and yet 1 can very well un
derstand that the practical assertion on all questions
arising here of the principle for which the managers
—on behalf of the House—stand. would be calculated
to delay the proceedings, and very likely involve us, at
times, in difficulty.
In what I said I spoke with the highest personal re
spect tor the Chief Justice eho presides here, feeling
that, in the rulings he may make on questions of law,
and of the admissibility of testimony, he would always
be guided by that consciertions regard for the right
for which be is distinguished; but, after all, I foresee
If the managers here, acting for the House in the case
now before the Senate and before the country, and
acting, I may say, ha behalf of other generations, and
of other men, who, unfortunately, may be similarly
situated In future times, were now to make the sur
render of the right that the Chief Justice of tho Su
preme Court of the United States, sitting hero as the
presiding officer of this body Of a specified purpose,
and for no other, has a power to decide even in a pre
liminary and a conditional way, questions that may be
vital to the final decision of this tribunal on the guilt
or innocence of the person arraigned.
Here they should make a surrender, which would in
substance abandon the constitutional rights of the
House of Representatives and the constitutional
rights of the Senate sitting as a tribunal to try im
peachment, presented by the House
,of Repreaenta
tives; and"; with all dne'deference, I 1 say that the lan
guage of the Constitution. "when the President of the
United States is tried the Chief Justice shallyroside."
is conclusive on this whole matter. He presides here,
not as a member of this body, for if that were as
sumed then the claim would be not only in deroga
tion, but in violation of another provision of the Con
stitution, which concedee to the Senate the sole power
of trying all impeachments, and I know of no lan
guage that can be used more specific in he character,
more conclusive in its terms.
It incindei, as we here maintain, all those men
chosen under the Constitution, and representing here
the several States of the Union. whatever may be
their faults; whatever may be their interests; what
ever may be their capacity; whatever may be their:
affiliations with or to the person amused, sitting here
as a tribunal to decide the questions under the Con
stitution, with all the felicities; and with all the in
felicities, which belong to the tribunal itself
under the Constitution, with no power to change it
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.--PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1868-.
in any particular, and is exclualve--1 - say. it with all
due deference--of every other man, what
ever his station, rank or position elsewhere; whatever
his relations to this body under the Constitution, the
• Senate has the sole potvof to try , all , impeachments,
And no person elsewhere can in'any . way interfere to
control or affect its decision or judgment in the
slightest degree. Therefore, Mr. President, it must
follow as a constitntionairight that the Senate itself,
without advice, as a matter of right, must decide every
incidental question which, by any possibility, can eini
,trol the ultimate.judgment 'of the Senate on the great
question of the guilt or innocence of the party accused.
If under any circumstances the testimony of any
witness may be denied or admitted ' on 'judgment of
any person - Or of - any , authority except - this -- tribunal
.before which we here stand, then the party accused
and impeached by the Oohs+) of Representatives, may
be acquitted or, may be convicted on authorities, or
by itillnences separate and distinct from the judgment
end opinion, of the Senate itself.
On this point, I think there can finally be no differ
mice of opinion; but, Mr. President, some of the man
agers, not having had an opportunity to consult with
my associates on that point, and speaking, therefore,
with deferencA to what 'nay be their judgment, the
judgment of the House. I should be very willing, for
myself, to proceed in the conduct of this case on the
understanding that the right is here and is now
solemnly asserted by the Senate for itself, and as a
precedent for all its successors, that every question of
law orievidence arising here is to be decided by the
Senate, without consultation with or the influence of
the residing officer. .
However worthy it is, as I know it to be worthy of
consideration, the Constitution standing between the
Senate here and the presiding officer there, I htid
that the judgment must be eichusively here; still it
should be willing that in all this proceeding the pre
siding Officer of the Senate shall give his opinion or
his ruling. If you please, on incidental questions of
law and evidence, as they arise, the understanding
being that any member of the Senate, or any one of
the managers, or any one acting as counsel for the re
spondent, may have it settled by the judgment of the
Senate, whether the ruling of the presiding officer is
correct or otherwise.
In the trial of Lord Melville (vol. 20 State. Trials),
Lord Erskine evidently acted upoh this idea. A ques
tion of the admissibility of evidence having been ar
gued by the managers on one side, and by the counsel
for the respondent:on the other elide, Lord Erskine
said: "If any noble lord is desirous that this subject
should be a matter of further consideration in the
Chamber of Parliament, it will be proper that he
should now move an adjournment. If not, I have
formed an opinion, and shall declare It" and on that
theory he administered the duties of the chair.
With respect to the rights of the House of Repre
sentatives and to the rights of the respondent, I
should not, for myself, object; but I cannot consci
entiously, even in his presence, consent to the dor,-
trine as a matter of right that the presiding officer of
the Senate is to decide this question under such cir
cumstances, that it is not in the power of the manag
ers to take the judgment of the Court as to whether
the decision is right or wrong.
ittr. Brtionem, one of the managers, rose to call the
attention of the Senate to an abstract which he had
made on the question. it was to the effect that Judges
of the realm and Barons of the Exchequer were no
part of the Rouse of Lords, except for mere minis
terial purposes; that the Peers are not triers or jurors
only, but are alto judges both of law and of fact, and
that the judges ought not to give an opinion in a mat
ter of Parliament.
[lstoirE.—This brief condensation is all that it was
possible for the reporter to make, on account of the
impossibility of hearing distinctly in the gallery, and
of the total lack of facilities for properly reporting
these most important proceedings. —ItxPORTER
Mr. BUTLER, referring to thequestion put by Mr.
Sherman some time back, cited a precedent in case of
the impeachment of Judge Chase, where the question
whether a witness should be permitted to refer to
his notes in order to refresh his memory on the
stand, and where the President put the question to
the Senate. which was decided in the negative—yeas,
ii;. nays It.
Mr. EVARTS, on behalf of the President, said :
Mr. Chief Justice and Senators, I rise to make bat a
single observation in reference to a position or an ar
gument presented by one of the honorable managers
to aid the judgment of the Senate on the question
submitted to it.
That question we understand to be, whether, ac
cording to the rules of this body, the Chief Justice
presiding shall determine, preliminarily, interlocutory
questions of evidence and of law as they arise, sub
ject to the decision of the Senate on presentation by
any Senator of the question to IL Now the honora
ble manager, Mr. Bontwell, recognizing the great
inconvenience that would arise in retarding of the
trial from that appeal to so numerous a body on every
interlocutory question, while he insists on the magni
tude and importance .of the right to determine. in
timates that the managers will allow the Chief Jus
tice to decide unless they see reason to object.
In behalf of the counsel for the President I have
only this to say, that we shall take from this court the
rule as to whether the firstpreliminary decision is to
he made by the Chief Justice, or to he made by the
whole body, and that we shall not submit to the choice
of the managers as to how far that rule shall be de
noted from. Whatever the rule irtweshall abide by,
but if the Court determine that the proper plat is for
the whole body to decide on every interlocutory ques
tion, we shall claim as a matter of right, and as a
matter of course, that that proceeding shall be
adopted.
Senator WasoN renewed his motion, that the Sea
aM retire for consultation.
The vote was taken by yeas and nays, and resulted:
—Yeas 25, nays 25, as follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Anthony. Buckalew, Cole, Conness,
Corbett, Davis. Dixon, Edmunds, Fowler. Grimes,

-25.
It being a tie vote, the Chief Justice voted yea,
thus giving practical effect to the position assumed
by him, as to his right to vote.
The circumstance created some flutter on the floor
and much amusement in the galleries.
The Senate, headed by the Chief Justice, then, at
three o'clock, retired for consultation, and soon after
the alleries began to thin out. The members of the
House gathered in knots and indulged in boisterous
conversation, and the counsel for the President con
sulted quietly together. One, two, three hours passed,
and still the Senators did notreturu to their Chamber.
The few spectators in the galleries dawdled listless
-I.y. Most of the members of the Howe sought other
scenes more charming, and the general appearance of
thugs WO listless and uninteresting. At last, at
twenty minutes past six, the Senate returned, and the
Chief - Justice, haying called the body to order, said :
The Senate has had under consideration the ques
tion which was discussed before it retired, and has
directed me to report the following role:
Rule 7. The presiding officer of the Senate shall
direct all necessary preparations in the Senate
Chamber, and the presiding officer of the Senate shall
direct all the forms of proceedings when the Senate is
sitting for the purpose of trying an impeachment, and
all forms during the trial, not otherwise especially
provided for; and the presiding officer, on the trial,
may rule on all questions of evidence and on inci
dental questions, which decision will stand as the
judgment of the Senate, for decision; or he may, at
his option, in the first instance, submit any such ques
tion to a vote of the members of the Senate.
Mr.:l3lPmEn intimated that the managers desired to
retire for consultation.
Senator Tuntrium. said that unless the managers
desired the Senate to continue in session, he would
now move an adjournment.
The managers intimated that they did not.
Senator Tue. - mm:lz then made the motion for ad
journment to twelve o'clock to-morrow, which was
carried.
The Chief Justice vacated the chair, and the Senate
having resumed its legislative session, adjourned at
twenty minutes DOSE BEL
LNl:Ern.—Any imperfectiona in the above report of
the testimonyare due to the fact that the Associated
Press reporters are placed in the gallery, with the
witnesses standing beneath and speaking in a low
tone, as usual in courts.]
When the Senate retired from their chamber, this
afternoon, Mr. REMDBSSON moved to postpone the
pending question on appeal, with a view to take up
the rules.
This was agreedto by the following vote •
Yeas.--Messrs. Anthony, Bayard, Buckslow,

Mr. Hinizzasorr then moved amendment to the
seventh rule, when a motion was made and disagreed
to to strike out from the same the words which pro
vide that the rulings on questions of evidence and
incidental questions shall stand as the judgment of
the Senate.. •
Mr. Simnut offered an amendment to Mr. Hender

a member of the Senate, and has no authority under

"That under the rules and in accordance with the
precedents in the United States in cases of impeach

AYEWS CHERRY PECTORAL, FOR DISEASES OF
THE THROAT AND LUNGS, SUCH AS COUGHS,
COLDS, WHOOPING COUGH, BRONCIUTLS,ASTELMA
AND CONSUMPTION.
- .
- Probably never before in the whole history of medicine,
has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the cond.
deuce of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmo
nary complaints. Through a long series of years, and
among most of the races of men it has risen higher and
higher in their estimation, as it has become better known.
Ito uniform character and power to cure the various af.
fections of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a
reliable protector agairnd them. While adapted to milder
forms of disease and to yours children, it is at the same
time the most effectual remedy that can be given for in
cipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the
throat and lunge. As a provision against sudden attacks
of Croup, it should be kept on hand in every family, and
indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs,
all should be provided with this antidote for them.
. . . . „.... ..... .
Although settled Consumption Is thought incurable,
still great numbers of cases where the disease seemed
settled, have been completely cured. and the patient re.
stored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. So emu.
' , tete is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral
they subside and disappear.
Stayers and Plaice Speakers find great protection
from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by takfidg the Cherry Pea
torah in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known. that we need not
publish the certificates of them here, or do more than
assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained.

MARSH, OR MIASMATIC POISONS.
As its name implies, it does Cure,and does not fail
taiving neither Arsenic, Quinine. Biamuth, Zinc, nor
other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in sa..
wise injures any patient. The number and importance
of its cures in the ague districts are literally beyond ac.
count, and we believe without a parallel in the history of
Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowl
edgmente 'we receive of the radical cures effected iu ob.
athlete casecand where other remedies had wholly tailed.
Unaccllmated persons, either resident in. or traveling
through miasmatic localities, will be protected by taking
the AGUE CURE daily.
For LIVER COMPLAINTS, arising from torpidity of
the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the
Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is an ex.
cellent remedy, producing many truly remarkable cures,
