and naval force, the President maintains that he 10
subject to pre- requisites of the act referred to,
but they are absolutely at his command for the
purposes Indicated. ~
The words of the President are: Congress, not
probably adverting to the difference between the
militia and the regular army by the act of March
Sd, 1907, authorized the President to the land
and naval force of the United States for the same
purpose for which he might call forth the militia
and subject to tho same proclamation. But the
power OF the President under the Constitution, MS
commander ofthc army and navy, is general, and
his duty to see the laws executed is general and
positive; and the act of 1907 ought not to be
limit or restrain any Of hs constitutional author
iy" The import of which is, that the President
may use tho army and navy as he may think pro-
per, under the penitudo of his constitutional au-
thority; and that he is not constrained by the act
of 1907 nor can he be restrained by any act of Con-
gress. Being o6icio commander, he can uso the
army in suppressing insurrcctions, in a manner
different from that in which nc is required to
the militia.
For the specific and sometimes delicate purposcs
indicated, think Congress has the direction OF the
President. When actually in command, for re-
pelling invasion or for any other purpose, he must
exercise bis own judgment. under his constitutional
discretion In one sentence, deny that the Presi-
dent has a right to employ the army and navy for
suppressing instructions, &C. without observing
the same pre- requisites prescribed for him in calling
out the militia for the came purpose.
His suggestion in his message is, that he shall
have right to employ the militia. as he contends
he has right under the Constitution TO employ tho
regular military force; that is without notice of
proclamation. do not think he has the right to
call out the military force of the Government with
out observing the pre- requisites of the act OF 1885,
and am unwilling to give him such power in
calling out the militia. would regard it as a
fearfully momcntous occasion TO SEQ the army
called out to shoot down insurgents without notice
or proclamation.
The truth is, il must DO regarded aa significant
omen OF the times to be told that a marshal under
his plcnary power to call out tho posse comiai,is,
cannot execute constitutional laws without resort
to force. and that to be executed with the prompt
ness Of Executive will.
Justice and the occasion require me TO say that
do not believe the power contendcd for would be
abused BY the present Executive. The precedent
be the rod of power for military despot

Having heard OF q remarkable hot spring a few

into the plain in etraight direction for it. A
ride of about five miles brought US TO the spot
which was Indicated by hill about 500 feet in
circumference at its base and about 80 or 40 feet
high, which was formed entirely by tho deposite
made by the waters Of the spring, On the sum

it to be neither hydrogen nor carbonic ncid gas.

become stained from fruits tarts, jellies or jams,
apply Immediately common table salt This, if
well rubbed on before the stain becomes dry, will
generally remove it, or will keep the article damp
until by the usual process of washing it will dis.
appear. Pure cider vinegar if Immediately ap-
piled, is very useful in removing stains from eli
tIcr cotton, linen or wUollen goods. This should
be afterwards rinsed ont with soft water. For
mildewed linen, salt and sour butter milk rubbed
over the stains, and exposing the goods TO the

by applying the juice of lemon. For the reno,
