or factious opposition to the Government.
The reputation Of hor inferior tribunals has al
ready suffered from ono or two notorious do
cisions. The Court of Appeals is the Court OF
last resort this side Of the Supreme Court OF tho
United States. It's judgment may, and often
does. control the action of State officials on tho
moss momentous issues. and it is Of the last
consequence that its present character should
be preserved. Who will venture to suppose
that it would be were five appointees of Gov.
Seymour to take their seats on the present
bench' And what sort of Court would that
be for the decision Of political questions which
should attempt to give legal validity to such
opinions as are expressed in Gov. Seymours
last messagel
1t is a misfortune that the really necessary
enlargement of tho Court must be two years
postponed, or that the amendment Of last year
must be adopted and sent to tho people. Its
ratification will, in any event, put IN Gov. Sey-
mour's hands tho power Of nomination. What
tho Legislature can do is to postpone
as far as possible the time when the amend
ment Shall he submitted to tho people.
If not voted on till tho November election, the
term during which Governor Seymour's friends
can hold an appointment will DO 80 brief that
we may hope no great harm will be done. The
present Court will retain its control over the
docket, and will transfer only such cases y they
see fit. Of course none Of a political character
will come before Seymours Commissioners, and
the Legislature may mako their tenure of Office
SO short that it will practically amount to moth
ing.

ing forward to great reyulsion at the close Of
the War is proper aud salutsry. 1t prevents
thousands from running in debt, and leaves
those who do incur debts in these times without
excuse if overtaken by bankruptcy. Were the
War ended to-day, we should Immediately be-

floating (greenback) debt. This would unevi-
tably produce decline in current values, which
could not be arrested until our Paper Currency
had nearly or quite attained the par Of Specie.
Then the house or farm now selling for $l5,0 900
would be worth but $4,000 or thereabOut, and
Stocks. Produce, Goods, and nearly everything
else, would experience corresponding reduc-

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out from general use should

cian, whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill yet the country is flooded with
best in the world, which not only useless but al

ULAR in selecting his physician, as 1t is lamentable
yet incontrovertable fact that many syphilitc pa
tiens are made miserable with ruined constitutions
by maltreatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice; for ii Is point generally conceded
by the best photographers that the study and
agement of these complaints should engross the
whole time of those who would be competent and
successful in their treatment and cure. The mex
