APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE.

1t is announced that Attorney General
STASBERY has decided that persons nom.
mated by the President to public office
during the session of the Senate, and
rejected by that body, can be again L.
gally appointed TO Office during the re.
cess. This doctrine, of which we may
say there does not appear to have been
any doubt on the part of any previous
administration, will enable the President
to reappoint to Office any person whose
former nomination has been rejected

Of the first twenty-four hours, he became
weary and felt a stronger disposition to
sleep than he afterward experienced
This was driven off, but the effort pro-
duced severe headache. which contin-
ued during che remaining days. On
Thursday he felt drowsy, but was so ex-
cited that he would sit down without
mapping. Every hour the circuiting the
room forty-two times was regularly per-
formed, in times ranging from twenty TO
thirty minutes. On that morning he be-
gan to be discouraged, and expressed a
wish to abandon further effort His adj
visers pursued him, and he renewed his
efforts, and. as be expressed it, with a
determined will to succeed.
Friday, the third day, he was more
wakeful, his nervous excitement having
ncreased-probably by the strong tea
which was his only beverage. His head
was bandaged, and bathed with rum and
alum frequently. He stumbled from
weakness and WEAKNESS but got up with
out help Saturday, the fourth and last
day, was one of WEAKNESS, aching limbs,
aching head and prostration. he re
quired to be supported as he went his
hourly rounds, in the ninety-fifth hour he
tainted and fell. Every hour of the last
four he was bathed all over with rum and
alum. In the ninety-ninth hour he again
fell in faintness. The last hour at length
arrived, and with his assistants he COM
pleted his forty-two circuits in thirty
three minutes. He now received fresh
energy from the idea that he had accom-
plished his feat, and, unaided, he liter
ally dragged his limbs once more around
the hall, to show that he was still awake,
and, amid the cheers of large audi
ence, he retired after nine o'clock
He did not recover from the sickness
that ensued for several days.

Notice TO the Public.

TN THE YEAR 1876, THE WRITER EN-
i barked in the drug business in the city of
Philadelphia, and while thus engaged, made
several experiments in regard to the most de-
sirable mode of preparing Fluid Extracts. My
efforts being successful-the articles being APP
proved and used by The Medical faculty-I was
DESTROYS of placing them befo the public, but
hesitated for some time before concluding to re-
sort to newspaper advertising, knowing of the
preudices that existed in the minds of many
against using advertised Medicines or Nostrums.
but through the advice of friends and those who
had used them this objection was overcome.
After eighteen years exertions, commencing
in a small way. the popularity Of my. articles
has extended to all parts of the United States,
and widely throughout foreign countries--and
this in the face of much opposition. Every
means has been resorted to by unprincipled
dealers since their merit and success have been
known-such rs advertising larger bottles at
less price censuring all other preparations, and
even copying my advertisements-but l. am
happy TO state that out of the many who have
resorted to this, none have been successful.
Ny object in this notice is to make facts
known TO the public and respectable dealers,
believing. after so many years exertions, that
the Druggists will discountenance such pro-
ceedings, aud that tine reputation of my articles
may not be damaged by the use Of inferior or
spurious ones.
Knowing that many may read this article
who are unacquainted with me. append few
remarks from those ofmy native city, and whose
names are known in all parts of the world

MISSOURI AND TENNESSEE.

The state of affairs in Missouri is not
very pleasant to contemplate, even from
distance. A Conservative speaker has
been forbidden to speak in one county
on pain of death Excitement has
reached point from which the civil
authority cannot remove it, and force is
threatened, and often resorted to, TO
carry out the views of the Radicals In
the case referred to, the speaker received
note threatening serious consequences
if he attempted to fill a certain appoint
ment. He attended, nevertheless, and
met a crowd of armed Radicals. They
were unanimous in determination TO
prevent him from speaking, and were
successful This sort of proceeding has
gone on until the Conservatives have
concluded that they must either give up
the contest, and allow minority OF the
people 10 insult and domineer over them,
or defend themselves at all hazards.
That minority have control Of the State
Government, and true TO the instincts OF
Radicalism, will tolerate nothing that
comes between them and the objects for
which they struggle 1t is a oad sight,
and fearful sign. All attempts of
minority of the people 10 govern, except
through the peaceful agency of free
ballot box, is revolution, and may be pnt
down by force and punished as treasona-
bic. There is no question that there is
treason OF the worst description now
