And what IS the nature of the iaTestiga-

English language affords words with which

not into any specific charges, but whether
the President has, by money, patronage, or
other improper means, sought to MT -Cs,
not the action of any individual member
or members of Congress, but the action of
the entire body IF Congress itself, or any
committee thereof.
The President might have had sOmo
glimmering of the nature of the offence to
be investigated, had the accuscr pc nted
to the act or acts Of Congress which he
sought to pass or defeat by the employ
ment of money, patronage or other i'm
proper means. But the accusation is
bounded by no limits; it extends TO the
whole circle of legislation, to interference
for or against the passage of any law APP
pertaining to the rights of any Estate or
Territory, and what law does not apper-
tain to the rights of some State or Terri
tory, and what law or laws has the Presi-
dent failed to execute.

CHGL1s AND FEVER CuILLs AND FEVER II
One of the greatest remedies that has
ever been laid before the public, for Fever
and ague, and which have received the
highest encomiums from the press and the
people, is DR.. IT, RoStetter's Celebrated Bit
tcrs. Who would endure the torture aris-
ing from this terrible disease, when it can
be so easily cured? Who would endure
sleepless nights, burning fevers and icy
chills alternately, when remedy can be
obtained for mere trifle? And yet how
many families liuger out 4 painful existence
under this deadly bligh, and do nothing
but gulp down quinine, until it becomes
as common rs their daily meals, and yet
they are not relieved. None but the fool
ish and weak would hesitate to procure
these valuable Bitters, and save themselves
intense agony. Sold by druggists and
dealers generally everywhere.

Pu1LAprLFuIA, March PA hearing
was had this morning before Judges Alli-
sou and Thompson, upon the writ of
habc0S corpus granted in the fugitive slave
case The return upon the writ by the ..
S. Marshal was a long statement of the
circumstances of the case, concluding
with the information that before the SER
vice of the said writ the fugitive had
been remanded to the custody of his
claimant, in pursuance of an order of the
U. s. Court, and therefore. that the re-
spondent could not produce the hoy as or
dered After argument by Geo. y. Whar-
ton tor the respondent, and Mr. Earl for
the applicant for the writ, Judge Allison
stated that the first question to be consid
cred by the Cont was, whether the writ
had been properly granted, az the state
ment in the return disclosed facts which
were not known when the writ was applied
for and issued. The application only
stated that the man was restrained OF his
liberty BY Jacob s. Yost. 1t Dow appears
that when the writ was granted the prison
or was not in the custody of the Marshal,
but actually in the custody of the Circuit
Court, hearing of the case being in pro-
rress. AS the writ OF habeaS corpus would
not have been granted, had these facts
been known, he suggested that the case
should he argued as il on application for
the writ. The argument of the case was
then postponed until Saturday.

c4rAxornEH OLD BLow.-Old Boreas
became thoroughly aroused yesterday, and
such a jolly, rollicking time as he did
have with the dust, we do not often see,

The gale, awnings were tapped into rib
IONS, pantaloons and shirts from clothes
lines were hurled away and went strNd-
ding through the air like ghosts and
witches, and amidst all, were binding
clouds OF dust and sand. The streets were
as dry as powder, and the wind swept
them as clean as barn floor. The con-
sequence was that the air was laden with
dust and sand, and costly apparel suffered
immensely. Ladies were few upon thepave,
and store doors were kept closed to exclude
the foe to delicate tissues. Though the
equinox is past due, it has not yet arrived;
while in all probability it is to be suspend
ed by such clustering gales as that OF yes
terdny. Enough dust to make couple of
small farms was blown from the streets :
Rise, Aquarius, we implore thee!
