This may certify that have been, since
1914, subject to violent periodical stacks Of
catsrrh, marked by highly infamed con-
dition Of the linj-S----DtSHe VI lne osVl-
Ges OF the head, producing q most dis
tressing species Of hesdsche for days at q
time, wholly incspscitating me for bust

me to the bed In some instances the in
hsmmation hiss extended to the teeth, oc-
cssioning toothsche to the throat pro-
ducing hoarseness and partial loss Of
voice; and twice it has so affected the
left eye as to confne me for month or
more to darkened room These attacks
have been accompanied by strong febrile
symptoms; by stoppsges Of the head, and
in the first stages by wstery discharges
from the nose and subsequently becoming
aorid and yellow, and towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purulent
l have tried medicines Of almost every
kind; external applications to the head,
such ss csmphoT, ginger, hot vinegar,
snuffs of some half g dozen kinds, and
other cstsrrshai preparations, together
with internal remedies, such ss alternatives,
osthartic5 and emstics. These have pro-
duced no change in the occurrence or
character Of the disease, and in most cases,
with little or no temporary relief had
come at length, to believe the disease to be
practically beyond either cure or material
&llevistion.

need Of recourse to the old hot ferments-

The eOnglomerate Convention which
met in this city on the 8lst was in hself
an sbsurdity and inconsistency, and it Is
nothing strange lifts proceedings were alto
. mass Of Inconsistencies. A gathering
made up Of such ut erly incengruous, dis
erepsnt and even contradictory elements
as was that Of Tuesday, gathering in
which honest and well meaning men like
William Goodell, David Plumb, and Amos
Dresser, found themselves, by singular
misfortune, hand in love with old and
unsOruPulous pro slsvery politicians like
COchrane, worn-eut Democratic hacks like
Bird ChaPmsn, and tnieying peculators
like MeKinstry, aud represented 70 the
country BY such pro slavery and disloyal
organs as the New York World and the
Chissgo Tines,-in which believers in and
preacherB o. the gospel, like Henry 7.
ChesVer, sat in friendly conclaEe with
atheists and infdels like the majority
which voted against the recognition Of
Gods help in putting down the rebellien-
in which Parker Pillsbury escorted John
Ooehrane to the Chair and Bruce Millard
and A, T. CoIvin sat between s. s. Foster
and Casper Butz-a gathering like this, We
say, could hardly fail to crowd its dOings
with the most absurd inconsistencies.
Among the most important Of these are
the following

Brunder Of the Fromonr,rs.

a BiundeF Of the Rromouferss
In the nominations made by the " Ass
convention" in this city on Tuesd y, q
most eyre iOus blunder was made r the
managers. Art. Il, Sec. !, ,1Of the amend
mentE to the Constitution, says: 10
"Ths Electors shall meet in their re-
gpecifVe States, and vote by ballot for
President and Vice President one Of
whom 81 least shall not be an inhsbitant
Of the same State with themselves"
Now General Fremont and General
7oOehrsne are both from New York
and in event Of their carrying their own
State, the electors on their ticket would
have to take their choice between the two,
being oOnstitu iOnaiIy disqualified from
voting FOR both. The delegates are sp-
Psreptly not very we'll posted in COnstitu-
tOnal matters snd, as SO many of ihem
were foreigners, We ought not to expect that
they should be. Perhaps however Gen
sralsFrenont is regarded as 3 citizen Of
Missouri, California, or more brObsbIy, Of
Western Virginia. Or is il really the
fact that the delegates did not expect to
elect their nominees, and only desired to
make movement which should, in its
feeble way, subtract from the strength
/ stthe Union party at the polls.
