Perforated Postage Stamps.

Hon. james Campbell, the Postmaster
General, has recently introduced an i'm
provemcnt in the postage stamps, which,
according to the Philadelphia Ledger,
adds greatly to their public convenience.
He has had them prepared ON sheets with
perforations around the borders of each
stamp, so that they can be separated, one
from the other, without using knife or
pair of scissors. Besides the saving OF
time in this Improvement, there is greater
security that the stamp will adhere to the
letter, for the points or rough edge left
by the perforations viii stick better to the
letter, there being none of the risk Of the
edge turning up as when it is continuous.
This plan Of pertorating letter stamps is
prac,ised in Europe, aud Mr.. Campbell
had the contractor TO procure a machine
from that country for use here.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

MARCH 4-The day opened by firing
of cannon and ringing of bells. Wealth
er beautiful. A great turn out of people,
mostly vending their way to the capitol.
The sidewalks completely blocked, balco-
mics full; an immense mass of living freight.
All the available windows were occupied
long before the procession started. The
military formed on New York Avenue.
Mr.. Buchanan's manner in delivering
the Inaugural Address was remarkably
impressive and determined.
Mr. Buchanan read his address closely
from manuscript which he held in his hand.
His voice was clear, but owing to the tre
mendous crowd, much of which could not
see him, there was some Interruption, and
all of the address was not distinctly heard.
There was much applause at those por-
tions which referred to the equality of
States, the evils of geographical parties,
and the naturalization laws.
Beyond the fainting of a few ladies in
ftLe crowd no incidents of an important
nature occurred.
The procession was the finest ever seen
| in Washington, and the number Of peo-
! pie present in the city exceeds anything
ever known before, there were many ban
ners bearing appropriate devices. There
were several Revolutionary flags from Va
which excited much attention Chic

Office at J O'Clock, and was first to con
graduate the President. Vice President

tor Bigler, and other prominent politicians

the system proposed by the majority of
The committee is liable TO serious ob-
iections, whichit will be impossible to rem
e6y without another amendment to the con-
stitution.
The undersigned, members of the COM
mittee, believe the better course is so to
amend the constitution as to leave the
people free, through their representatives
in the General Assembly, to modify thc
judiciary system from time to time as
their wants and growing interets may re-
qnire. They therefore recommend the
adoption OF the following in lieu of the
amendment reported by the committee.
ALFRED KELLY,
ALFRED YAPLE.
Substitute for The 4th article Of the con-
stitution:
The judicial power of the State, except
in cases of impeachment, shall be vested
in a Supreme Court, and in such other
courts as shall from time to time be crea-
ted by law, and in justices Of the peace.
Each court and the several judges
thereof snail possess Sucn powers, anu
shall exercise such judicial function as
shall be prescribed by law; Prorided, ho~-
eyer, that the Supreme Court shall have
power to decide finally all questions OF
law, and to euforce its decisions by man.
Etlamus, injunction, procedendo, and in
such other mode as shall be prescribed by
(law.
The compensation of judges shall be
prescribed by law, but shall. not be redu,
ced so as to operate on any judge during
his official term.
/ Judges shall hold their respective Offices
during such term, not more than--years,
as shall be prescribed by law, and shall be
elected by the qualified electors of the dis
tricts, counties or cities over which thei'
jurisdiction shall, in ordinary cases, ex-
tend; but the General Assembly may pro-
vide, by law, that Judges shall exercise
their Judicial functions in other districts
counties or cities, whenever the General
Assembly shall deem such exercise neces.
sary for the correct, speedy and economic
cal administration of justice.

DR.. Roback,s Success.


We have always been inclined to receive
with doubt the accounts of wonderful cures in
desperate: cases, with which the proprietors OF
patent medicines are accustomed to garnish:
their advertisements, but the effects produced
by the Scandinavian Remedies of this distin-.
guished Swede are so notorious, and so amply
verified by direct personal testimony, as to put
doubt and suspicion out of the question. The
cures, as reported by the patients themselves,
comprehend nervous complaints, dyspepsia,
bilious disorders, fits rheumatism, and almost
every species OF disease affecting the stomach,
the skin, and the organs OF resp;ration Un-5
der these circumstances we can haveno objsc-
ton in giving such important facts publicity IN
our columns. Hamlet says, "There is moro
III Heaven and earth than is dreamed of in
your philosophy" and every day conyinces us
that the science OF medicine is not the exclu-
+ sive property of athe faculty. DR.. Roback
has acquired fame and fortune by his success
