had consulted many physicians and aurists but
could get no relief Acting under1 the advice of
friends, (who by their own experience, know of DR..
Lighthis success in the treatment of such difficult
ties) gave him trial, which resulted in the com
plete restoration ofmy hearing The discharge from
my ear entirely ceased, without detriment to nv
health. The cure was performed upon me four
months ago, during which time my hearing not only
remained eood lin spite ofseyeral colds which suf
fered from,) but actually improved, so that now
can hear as perfect as thou.h my hearing had never
been affected. sakA VIZ
would recommend all those afflicted with the
above complaint, to place themselves under the mild
treatment ofDr. Lghthill A. w. CLARK.

driven with awful force through another car,

the passengers. Since the occurrence . coro-
ner's jury Of so called "good and lawful men,"
who allege that they are conscientiously
scrupulous Of taking an oath, has been in ses-
sion near the scene Of the accident, trying to
nnd some plea on which to justify the act After

the jury failed to end one, and then resolved

far as its attempt to interfere with the press d
concerned. and that the action Of the associated
managers against the HERALD was most foolish
and ill-advised. We have no objection to print
the Bryants' advertisement, or that of any other
reputable place Of amusement; but we did not
object when the managers took their advertise
ments away, and we do not ask them to bring
their advertisements back. This Ia a mere
matter Of business which concerns themselves
alone, and in which they ought to be wise
enough to consult their own interests. But az
proof Of the practical dissolution Of an asso-
citation which impudently attempted to check
theatrical reforms and to assail the HERALD for
proposing them, the card Of Nef Bryant Will
be welcome to all who hope for new and
better era in dramatic affairs.

bers from the Southern States; for each house is
the judge in such cases, and majority rules.
The constitutionality of rejecting the members
from whole States, and Of the present proceed
ings of Congress on the subject, are very ques-
tionable; but the President has no power over
the matter All he can do is to restore the
States to IT,, point, put all their local State
machinery in motion, withdraw the military,
and leave them in the enjoyment Of local self
government He ought, and we think he will,
pursue the even tenor Of his way in restoring
them. He can perform his duty, If Congress
does not perform its duty. If that body be
revolutionary and ansrchical, he can be con-
servative A conflict between the policy OF
the Executive and Congress on this subject
would be very unfortunate, would embarrass
our finances, paralyze our industry, and bring
many evils upon US, but would not necessarily
he the worst Of evils. The country would be
kept disturbed another year or 50; but the
people would settle the difaculty at tho next
elections. Should tho Southern States be kept
out Of this Congress II IL quite evident the
next Congress would be chosen Of different
character. A new conservative party would
grow up and sink the faction that has now 81
tanned power BY gross political fraud deeper
than ever plummet sounded II tho President
pursues firmly the even tenor OF his statesman
like policy, he may be assured the conserve
tive masses will approve Of his course, and az
soon as they can speak, will choose different
set of men to sustain him.
