johnson on the occasion of his inauguration as
vice-president of the United States was wholly
inexcusab,e, disgrace to himself, and an insult
to the nation.
Resolved, That while we appreciate the past
distinguished patriotism end courage with which
he resisted the rebellion and defended the integri
ty of the Union, it Is the sense of the Wisconsin
legislature that his oense is so fragrant, disgrace
ing the government in the presence Of other
Christian nations, he ought at once to resign his
Office as yice-president of the United States,
therrby allowing the United States senate to Sc
lect some member of that body to preside over
its deliberations whose moral character will COM
port with the dignity of the position he now dis
graces and that in of the death of the presi-
dent the country may not be moe deeply hu,
inflated and endangered by the Inauguration OF
an Incorporate executive.
Resolved, That the goyerno. be and he is here
by respectfully requested to furnish Vice Presi-
dent johnson with copy of these resolutions

stopped Over.

Some OF the speakers at the jubfation in
Washington over the fall of Richmond, stopped
over, They couldn't contain themselves They
talked as though the war were concluded, our
domestic affairs on a solid footing, our debts paid
off and the nation ready to settle accounts with
the rest of the world. They defed France,
threatened England, patronized Mexico, and
gowered at mankind generally
Ii is fortunate, perhaps, for our future welfare
that these sort of people are understood abroad
as thoroughly at home, and about the same
estimate placed upon their value. On occasion
they blaze up in a pyrotechnic display, which
might be alarming if not so soon over. Put
them into ranks, give them a musket, let them
trudge through a campaign, set them in the
trenches and on picket posts to be shot at, and
then, when they talk about foreign wars as of a
holiday pastime, the people may listen to them
at least with respect. The occupants of lucrative
positions, in no danger of smelling guDpowder,
and with an eye on the main chance and a hand
in the treasury pocket, may be in the humor TO
turn fap-doodle in the face of all creation, and
bs fussily demonstrative over the accomplish
ment of events that they have not promoted, and,
perhaps not retarded but they would exhibit
themselves to better advantage if, before they
talk of foreign and new battle fields they
demonstrated disposition to risk little of their
own blood in the mighty effort to preserve III
actual existence among the nations Cincinnati

THE New REGISTRY Law OF ILLINoIs.-iu
another column we publish the law passed at
the last session of the general assembly of
IIlnoois, providing for the registry of the
names of the electors. Ii is hardly probable
that this law was published in time for all the
towns throughout the state to act under its
provisions At the April town elections. But,
us the law seems directory IN its character, a
want of compliance with all of its provisions
will not affect the validity of elections. The
law was enacted to prevent fraudulent voting
and unless it can be made TO appear that
frauds were actually committed, the election
will be good to ell ihtents and purposes
HaiRes' Legal AdUiser
Does the registry law require registry of
electors for the April town meetings. We
thought it especially provided that no such
registry WAS required.

SLEEP-lrs INPoRTANCE.-Therei is no fact
more clearly established in the physiology of
man than this: that the brain expeuds its
energies and itself during the hours of wake
fullness, and that these are recuperated dur
ing the hours of sleep; if the recuperatiop
does not equal the expenditure, the brain
withers this leads to insanity.
Thus it is that. in English history, persons
who were condemned to death, by being pre-
vented from sleeping always died ravinp
maniacs. Thus it is that those who are stary
ed to death first become insane. The brain
is not nourished, and they cannot Sleep

he entered carriage, with his son, Frederick
Seward, his daughter and another lady. Upon IA
street some disarrangement OF the reins occurred,
which the driver got off to remedy, leaving the
reins in Mr.. Stewards hands, After adjusting
them, and before regaining his seat, the horses
started and Mr.. Seward, in attempting to check
them, pulled upon the rens in such manner a
to cause them to turn sharply around, throwing
him out of the carriage. The fall broke his right

WATER DRINKTHG.-Improper drinking OF
water has killed thousands. There have been
instances where thirsty armies, after long
marches, have come to some river, when the
men would lie down ON their faces and quaf
an inordinate quantity Of water, with these
results: some died almost instantly, others
became crazy, and staggard like drunken
men. Avoid drinking water as much rs pos
sible while walking. When you feel thirsty,
rinse the mouth with water, but DO not swal-
low it. Drink only when resting. Men. when
heated. should not drink anything cold -
Drink slowly half tumble of water will
suffice the thirstiest man, if he drinks by sips.
In fact, lis almost impossible to get down q
full glass of water taken in THE way.
