TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dlead of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availine,r, themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain. a specialite ertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal lttters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss. bets from sto 25 ga.,
warranted.

pROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise *ould have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager, &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittauce, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least .1,1,000 more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for, the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor tanailies
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun andll you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the ROY. D. GILBERT D.D., No. 22,

CHESTER. • us by the Constitution under 1-thich we live. The
only foes to liberal principles are to be found among
those who really love tyranny, whether under the
forms of despotism or democracy ; and the only
party that can be considered as truly anti-Conser-
vative is that which candidly assumes to itself the
designation of Radical. And it is worthy of note,
in passing, to observe that the only party that by
the principles on which it is based has precluded
itself from any right to the title of Reformers, is
this very aggregation of democratic politicians. For
inasmuch as Reformers necessarily implies a restora-
tion of what was good and a correction of what is
bad in the subject of its operation, it is clearly
possible-for one who strikes at the root of an existing
state of things to adopt with any semblance of
truth, a name that is the actual opposite of his real
title. A destroyer cannot be said to reconstruct,
nor an innovator to reform. It is a totally different
thing to repair an ancient edifice and to pull it down
in order to erect a different building in its place.
Hence it is that a Reformer in the true sense of the
word must necessarily be a Conservative, though it
does not of course follow that all Conservatives
should at all times be desirous of initiating reforms.

Opinions of the American Press.

The mercantile letters from New York complain
strongly of the uncertainties caused by the delay
in settling the question as to the consolidation of
the national debt, and the New York Journal of
Commerce gives the following summary of the posi-
tion in which the matter stands :—" Congress met.

in December, four months ago, and as yet not one
step of advance has been made in providing a solu-
tion of the great financial problem involving the
dearest interests of the whole people. There are
many theories about the cause of the delay, but the
real difficulty may be stated in a few words. The
Secretary of the Treasury asks for unlimited power
to manage the consolidation of the debt entirely at
his own discretion, and appears to be unwilling to
accept anything short of this absolute control.
This Congress seems to be unwilling to concede,
the opposition being composed of various elements.
Some oppose it in the interest of one set of specu-
lators, because they are afraid of a contraction of
the currency ; others, in the supposed interest of the
present bondholders, for fear that a new issue of
securities may depress the price of those now held
by them. The most, however, oppose this unlimited
grant of power for two very substantial reasons :
one is a general unwillingnes to leave in the hands
of a single man, and he only an executive officer,
the selection of a financial policy by which the
whole nation is to be governed, while the Congress,
upon whom such a responsibility properly rests, is
in session, with no good excuse why it should not
attend to it. The other reason is, that if it were

absolutely certain that the Secretary would follow
precisely such a course as Congress might select
the concession of the power to him would decide
nothing, and would leave the country still afloat
upon a sea of doubt and uncertainty. It would be
far better to fix upon something definite, and thus
confine the action of the Secietary to such minis-
terial functions as are properly within his province.
If this would be acceptable to the Treasury Depart-
ment, as we think it would be,.the whole difficulty
might be easily adjusted at an early day, for the
best thing to be done in consolidating the debt is
not the point of dispute with any very considerable
portion of the people."
The New York World, commenting upon the
present position of affairs, says that the Radicals
are in most deadly earnest. There can be no doubt
that the President is. If they pass unconstitutional

laws over his veto, he will not feel bound to execute
them. Jefferson long ago taught that the executive
department must interpret the Constitution for it-

self in matters pertaininc, to its own functions.
Jackson repeatedly acted on that maxim. The
President is sworn to support the Constitution.
When any law clearly conflicts with it, be must,

of necessity, elect between the two. The inferior
law must yield to the superior. But when the
President refuses to enforce laws which the Radicals
have passed they will attempt, his removal, relying
upon the same two-thirds which overruled the veto
to convict on impeachment. It is in vain to say
that the grounds for impeachment would be insuffi-
cient. The Senate is the sole judge of that. There
is no court of appeal by which an unjust decision
could be reversed. If the Radicals find they have
the power, they will turn out President Johnson
with just as little compunction as they have turned
out Senator Stockton.
The New York Post says :--" There is a good
deal in a name, the fair Juliet to the contrary not-
withstanding. The Freedmen's Bureau is a case in
point ; this useful department has become an object
of hatred to a considerable number of unthinking
people, and a cause of offence to pro-slavery and
negro-hating politicians, because of its unlucky
name. It is called the Freedmen's Bureau, but it
might more properly have been called a bureau for
the relief of distress and suffering resulting from the

war. For its agents have relieved white and black
alike, and in some States and districts the number
of whites receiving rations and supplies from the so-
called Freedmen's Bureau was and is considerably
larger than the number of blacks. For instance, in
August, 1865, 8,417 whites, and only 2,540 negroes,
received relief in the Department of Missouri and
Arkansas, and 3,777 whites and 3,785 coloured
people in that of Tennessee and Kentucky. In
October, 1865, 2,878 whites received rations from
the Freedmen's Bureau in Alabama, and only 2,151
blacks ; and in Missouri and Arkansas the Bureau
relieved 1,593 whites and 1,517 negroes. In
November, 2,257 whites and 1,914 blacks
were relieved in Alabama, and 809 whites
and 1,227 blacks in Missouri and Arkan-
sas. In December, 3,329 whites and 2,223 blacks
• received rations from the bureau in Alabama,
and 1,356 whites and 114 blacks in Missouri and
Arkansas. In January, 3,329 whites and 1,223
blacks received rations in Alabama, and 2,998
whites and 547 blacks in Arkansas. These num-
bers, taken from officers' reports, show that we
might with as much justice speak of the " white
men's bureau" as the Freedmen's Bureau. It is true
that in other States and departments the number
of blacks is greater in proportion, but this does
not alter the fact that the bureau deals with the
poor and distressed of the South, regardless of

colour.
The New York World, commenting on the result
of the Connecticut election, says :—The Connecticut
election has resulted in great gains for the D emocratic
party, yet not sufficient in amount to elect Mr. Eng-
lish. It is probable that his opponent, Hawley, slips
into the Governor's chair, but by a majority which
counts fewer hundreds than his predecessor had
thousands. Buckingham was elected by a majority
of over 11,000. Hawley will not have a majority
of 700. Besides this gain of more than 10,000 on
the popular vote, the Democrats have achieved very
substantial gains also in the Legislature. Judging
by our lateSt despatches, it appears that we gain 8
or 9 Senators, and 15 to 17 Representatives. These
gains are pretty evenly distributed throughout the
State, and show such a general and permanent re-
action against the reigning fanaticism, as to guaran-
tee the future triumphs of the unwearied and faith-
ful Democracy. In estimating the value of this
result it must be borne in mind that this election
took place in a New England State ; that New Eng-
land is the stronghold of Radicalism, the last part
of the country where a reaction would naturally
begin ; and that a considerable reaction in a New
England State is a symptom of a wider and deeper
change of public sentiment in States less given over
to political fanaticism.
The New York Evening Post says that Mr. A.
Delmar introduced, at the last meeting of the Cham-
ber of Commerce, his resolve in favour of free trade
with a preamble as follows :--`` American industry
