To THE EDITOR OF THE BOSTON JOURNAL.
Dear Sir:-A desire to benefit those similarly
aflctedi induces to make the following statement
For many years have been troubled WITH dscharoes
from my nose, which afterwards tegan to drop or
ooze into my throat causing me to hawk and spit al
most constantly, more especially in the morning.
Soon my head began to be affected more severely;
pain in head and over my eyes. MY breath became
fteted, and knowing what the result must be to con-
sanity inhale fsted breath, made me seriously con-
slider my condition My friends end even some Ply
sicians told me that my difficulty was Catarrh and
consequently an incurable one. But when 1 asked
them the reason why it Catarh) could not be cured
their reasons so unsatisfactory that resolved
to consult DR.. Lghthill, whose skill in the treat
ment of this disease had so often heard.
Thevery examination made by him inspired me
with confidence, and at once resolved to place N.Y.
sell under his treatment, which resulted in perfect
cure. Ny general health, which was badly affected
by this disease, began to improve and am now as
well as though never was afflicted. The treatment
is mild, painless, and perfectly harmless To those
similarly afflicted would advise to call on Dr. Light
hill, and they will find in him allthey desire.
Respectfully, &C.,
CHAS. SBfEAD, Hancock House.
From Rev. P. R. Russell, Lynn Mass, to the Watch
man and Reflector, Feb. l. 1862
Dear Brethren Editors VIII you permit me 20
make statement in your valuable paper, for the
benefit ofyour readers who may be afflicted with ca
tarrhal difficulties? Ihave been much troubled with
catarr of the very worst type for twenty years.
1t gradually grew worse, producing cough and
hoarseness destroying the sense OF SMELL and breax-
ing down my general health to such degree as to COM
pei me to resign my pastorate and suspend public
made diligent of the usual remedies, such as
snuff OF divers kinds, nitrate of silver, tar-water,
olive tar and limitations, but without any very
salutary effects. Last summer while journeying in
successful mode of treating catarrh, in Providence
R. l. visited him, and put myself -nder his treat
ment. 1 began Immediately to improve, and this
improvement has gone on to the present time. My
catarrh has gradually melted away, my cough has
disappeared, my voice has become natural, and am
once more able to preach the blessed Gospel. The
popularity ofDr. Lghthis is that he cleanses the
inside nasal passage with healing solution, applied
by euriously constructed syringe, in the passage
leading from the roof of the mouth to the nose AT
ter few efforts and little practice there is pain
or serious difficulty in this mode of application.
Let advise all troubled with catarrhal difficulties
to apply to Dr.. LishthIil. P. r. RUSSELL.

Frank Blair OH the new Constitution
of Missouri

General FRANK L. BLAIR was cnthusi-
astiCally sercuaded at his home in st.
Louis, a few evenings ago aud responded
in one of his best speeches. He eulo-
Cised General SHERMAN, under whose
leadership he was during the famous
Georgia campaign" and defended him,
with much warmth from the assaults of
the politicians He endorsed to the full
est extent the negotiations with JOHN
sToN and was very severe upon those
who impeached either the wisdom or the
patriotism of SHERMAN. His views con-
corning the radical constitution which
has been adopted in Missouri by very
meagre and suspicious majority of the
voters, we present below. We commend
them to the attention of the few in this
community who affect TO regard the Mis-
souri, constitution as model Of wisdom
and just the thing for the government of
a great State, and to those who favor the
amendment at this time of the constitu
ton of West Virginia. The following
report is taken from the St Lonis Press
Gen Blair adverted to the changes
which had occurred here since he had
left for the field. Pc found that great
revolutions had taken place, that his fell
low citizens had changed their constitu-
ton three or four times since he had left,
had lived under two Conventions and at
least one Legislature He had read the
theory of celebrated physician that
every human being changed his body
every seven years. but Missouri changed
her cS>.S n .-.s "f~es- and he

United Service Society.

A society with the above name has
been formed in New York, composed ex
clusively of those who have been engag-
ed in either branch of the United States
service during the war, and it is propos-
ed to extend the ramifcations of the
society into every Congressional district
in the States A meeting was held on
the evening of the 10th, at which officers
were elected for permanent organlza-
ton, and on Friday evening another
meeting was held, when committee
raised at the previous meeting reported a
series of resolutions as the platform ot the
association. The following plank ex-
plains some of its objects:
THAT the late rebellion has been en-
tirely suppressed, the power of the Fed,
eral Government fully indicated, and
the old Union of the States firmly estab-
lished upon such basis that there is no
danger of future rupture. That these
great results have been attained by the
valer and patriotism of the Union army
and navy. and that in the future distri-
button of positions of public trust and
profit preference should always be given
to those who have served the Union
cause ID the military or naval service
during the late rebellion, particularly
those who have received permanent in
iuries therein by wounds OF sickness;
and this society and its members pledge
their united aud indiN idual efforts to
carry out the provisions of this resolu-
tinn.'

pi,,.burs and Conuel.ville Railroad.

An interesting railroad case. affecting
the constitutionality of an act passed by
the Pennsylvania Legislature last WIN
ter. is now being argued before the Su-
preme Court of that State at Williams
port. The Pittsburg and Connellsville
Railroad Company, under the provisions
of their charter, borrowed enc million
dollars from the city of Baltimore for the
construction of the road. The Pennsyl-
vania legislature last winter repealed
portion of the charter previously granted
to the Connellsville company, and con-
ferred its rights and franchises upon
corporation known as the Southern Penn
5ylvania railroad company, which is un-
derstood to be merely an adjunct of the
PENNSYLVANIA Central railroad company,
whose interests would be injured by the
completion of the Connellsville road
The city of Baltimore now brings suit
against the Southern Pennsylvania rail
road company for the protection of her
rights Messrs. REvERDY JOHNSON and
B FL. LATRoBE, of Baltimore, are attor-
neys for the complainant, and w. H.
LOWRY and G.. P HAMILTON. of Pitts
burg for the defendant The case is be-
ing tried before Judge GREER who, it is
thought, will decide against the consti-
tutionality of the repeating act.
Ifthe city of Baltimore is successful in
the suit, the Pittsburg and Connellsville
railroad will probably be completed to
Cumberland within two years, thus open
ing direct line of communication be-
tween Baltimore and Pittsburg, and Sc
riously impairing the monopoly which
the Pennsylvania Central railroad COM
pany has SO long enjoyed. The act of
the Legislature depriving the Councils
vile railroad company of it's rights was
one of those "jObs" for which the Senate
and House of Representatives of Penn
sylvania have acquired such an unenvia-

ence. g.s
Gen. Blair said he inteded to read this
new constitution he had but one thing
to say about it now; that the time OF
revolutions was not the time to make
new constitutions, which should be the
organic law of the State. Constitutions
were framed to protect the rights OF the
minority against frantic or excited ma
iority, and such an instrument could not
be framed when party feeling run high
when passion took the place OF reason,
and mems judgments were warped or
disturbed; and constitutions framed at
snch times were mere acts of despotism
framed by majority to Cypress and
Grind down an overridden minority
Therefore he should commence the read
ing of the New Constitution with a feel
ing of prejudice, as having been made at
time when the organic law should not
have been tempered with. Hesaid there
was much in the old Constitution which
needed to be amended, many changes
were demanded, but we, the citizens OF
Missouri, should have had enough conf
dsnce in ourselves and in each other to
await the proper time for amendment
and revision of the Constitution. Amid
the passionate appeals of the one side
and the other, he conld not judge of the
merits of the new instrument, but he
did know that he did not like the authors
of it. He knew them before the war,
and their zeal was not then what it is
now-it did not carry them into the
army or induce them to exhibit any ex-
traordinary heroism in defense OF their
country, cheers and cries that's So
He thought they might have waited for
the return of the soldiers those who had
an equal interest in the State Govern
ment, and who had proved their deyo-
ton on many hard fought field. But
these stay at-home gentlemen took snap
Judgment. But he did not know as yet
| that the verdict was in their favor If it
was, it was certain that the Constitution
that went out of ST. Louis with 5000
majority against it, was no Constitution
for the State of Missouri. and if 1T was
adopted, it was only by a few thousand
votes at most, and it must and would be
submitted to the people for revision and
alteration.

EDITORS OF THE REGISTER
While the Government is showing such
magnanimity toward the rebels, who
have been fighting for four years to de-
stroy the Union will 1T not deal in like
manner with her own soldiers, who have
been fighting the same length of time to
uphold it? There are at present confin-
ed in this guard house seventeen prison
ers. thirteen of whom belong to West
Virginia regiments. Some have been
confined for three or four months Many
VIII think no doubt that we deserve our
imprisonment, or we would not be here,
but at the same time they must know
that in the army a man may commit
some trifling offence for which he will
he placed in the guard house, while in
civil life it would hardly be noticed
But it is not of that / would complain :;
it is of the length of time we have been
confined without trial. There are four
or five here that were tried six weeks
ago, but the findings and sentence of the
court are kept secret.
The companies of some Of the men con-
fined here are mustered ont of the SER
vice, and we have to lie here awaiting
the pleasure of our officers to have us re-
leased. We have written to them from
time to time to have us brought 70 trial
or have us released, but they pay no at
tention to us. We are only private sol
oilers, and have no right to dictate to
them as to what they shall do with us
They are the officers, we the privates,
and must be punished, no matter how
light our offence.
II must be borrs ~ mind that there
are privates in the army who have been
in the front line oftener and done better
fighting than some of the officers, who
are now receiving credit for what they
have done.
We have from six TO fifteen months pay
due us, ard many of us have families,
who, nee we have been in the army,
have been almost entirely destitute, and
as we have not been paid regularly could
do nothing to relieve them; but we must
he courtmartialed, and if found guilty
will be sentenced to forfeit from four to
six months and perhaps all our pay, and
thus our families will be deprived of
what is Justly due them. Is it fair that
private soldier should be so so severely
punished for slight misdemeanor, COM
mitted since the war is ended
The President is receiving. every day,
applications from prominent rebels for
pardon, which, in almost every case, are
granted VIII not our Governor apply
to the President for pardon to all West
Va soldiers, whose offences are lighter
than those of the rebels who have been
pardoned by him. -r-,-.

The Tariff Question.

II is probable that before very long the
old question of tariff or free trade Will
again constitute political issue IN this
country Since the election ofPresldent
PIERCE in 1852. the tariff question has
been lost sight of in the agitatlons 0t
which the negro has been the cause, but
now that the slavery question ia almost
cut Of the way, the attention OF the PEG
pie is being again turned to the science
Ofpnlitical economy, and, ere many years
we will probably hear upon the stump
and in the halls of Congress repetition
of the old arguments used by the oppcs-
ing parties twenty years ago. Already
tine West begins to grow FESTIVE under
the restraints upon her proper develop
ments which the present tariff produces.
and the operations of the tariff laws Will
have the effect of delaying the recov-
cry of the South from the pTostratlon
consequent upon the war and SO make
her more than ever anxious for the prev
alence of the principles of free trade.
This question affords an illustration of
the fact that no political measure com
handing the assent OF any considerable
portion Of our citizens Is ever finally set
tied OF decided so that it may never
again become the subject OF discussion
A gwen principle may be triumphant for
a time. but Its opposite Is not discarded
by its former adherents as untrue. Ma
iorities rule and minorities submit, as
they should, but mems minds cannot he
fettered, and they will think, and so
finally the old question is revived and
parties are organized in support of the
same doctrines that were considered set
tied years ago.
