GINSENG PANACEA.--From
which we see in almost every paper we take up,
and the names which we find attached to the pre-
par alton, it seems to us the very madness OF incre.
dulity to doubt for a moment the merits OF the Gin.
seng Panacea in all affections of the Lungs and
Bronchia. Unlike most preparations, its vouchers
are at home-men OF standing-well known IN the
community where they reside. and to the business
community of the West generally. We cordially
recommend any Of our readers who need an article
of this kind, to give it a trial.

that outrage consummatcd. No alter
native is now left US except to leave
our seats, or remain and witness the
contamination Of that act. These al
ternatives have been forced upon u.s.
We have made eur election to stand
by the constitution. Were we to
choose the other, and permit you to
pass this bill, we would he par!:csrrs
criminis to the violation, even though
we recorded our names against it. We
can prevent this violation of the constl-
tuition, and if we should not, an equal
share Of CRIME would rest upon US;
this we cannot suffer.
To divide a county for Representa-
tives and Senators, and TO apportion
one part of the county to n legisla-
tive district and part Of it to an other,
is a plain act Of revolution on the part
of the majority who attempts it; it is a
fundamental change of III political Or
ganization plainly forbidden by the
c constitution. No member can occupy
a seat in tie General Assembly, unless
voted for by the citizens of a whole
undivided county.
Such a revolution we must resist by
all the means in our power. If our
constitution no longer protects us, we
must protect ourselves.
We do not break up the law-mak-
ing power of the Government, as was
the case with the wings in 1912, for
we remain here and are willing to as
sist in p~crfecting all necessary and con-
stitutionaI legislation, but we cannot
remain spectators ola wanton violation
| of the constitution.
If the members who have passed the
Apportionmenl bill,hrough its different
stages, until but a single question re-
mains to be taken, ere it becomes a law,
will purge it ofits constitutional ob]ec-
tons, and will make it bear ever the
semblance Of an "honeSt apportlon-
ment," with reference to o Their districts,
we will cheerfulIy return to u seats
and vote upon its passage. If they
should make their election not to do so.
then we are willing to return and as
sist in the other legislation necessary
to a finishing up Of the work of the SEES,

and safest mode OF preventing an un.

ASSAULT ON CAPT, YRIE,
OLE THE NIAGARA.

From the Boston Nail, Nov.fl
Yesterday afternoon Capt. Alexander
Ryrie, oftho steamship Niagara, Lieut.
Mofett, admirably mail agent, together
with a number Of witness, appeared before
Justice Gushing, when Capt. r. entered a
complaint against Michael Gallagher, a
| stout limbed Trishmen, for IN assault COM
mittcd upon him8elfand Lieut. Moffett.' The
defendent being placed at the bar Capt.
| Ryrie testified 10 the assault Substantially
as follows: At about ~ O'Clock to-day,
while l was in my dressing room at the
Albion Hotel, dressing myself I was dis
TURNED by a knock at the door and one Of
the walters told me that a gentleman desi.
red to speak with me; / replied, show the
gentleman into the parlor, and ! viii attend
upon him Immediately; put N my dressing
gown, and at the door of my room met the
defendant. He inquired, fare you Capt.
Ryriel" / replied in the affirmative. He
continued, ''Are you the man alluded to
in Mr.. noyle's letter, published in the
Tribune, as abusing my c~ountrymenl" I
replied that if that was bis business with
me be had better leave the room. as the
only reply had to make to Mr.. Doyle's
statement was already made public through
the papers. He then raised bis fist, and
aimed a furious blow at my face, which I
parted and he closed with me. Lieut..
Moffett, who was lying upon the sofa in
the parlor at the time, sprang to my assis-
lance, and afer considerable Of a struggle.
we threw defendant down and | then sent
for a police officer.
Lieut.. Moffett, corroborated the above
statement, and also testified that in the
struggle defendant bit through bis hand,
afterwards qualified by substituting "bit
through the skim" for the more serious
complexion which he had unwiulingly
given the wound. (which testimony was
further substantiated by a persons attached
to the Niagara, and also by one of the
waters at the Albion. The latter witness
testified that defendant said to Capt. Ryrie
"You are an enemy to Smith O'Brien'
who is to be hanged" saying which he
committed the assault.
Walter J. Walsh, Esq, appeared as
counsel for the defendant and several
scenesInot exactly appropriate to a court of
Justice were enacted, at which the audi
ence in one or two instances broke out in
a prolonged "guffaw." Lieut.. MofEett, a
fine looking old salt but Of exceedingly
