Holloway's Vermituge CONNECTIONS

Which have almost entirely superseded
the old nauseous Nermifuges, to the de-
light of the poor little sufferers. 1t con-
tains no calomel or other poisonous in
gradients.
So highly esteemed is this popular
Vermituge by the profession, that all
intelligent physicians who know of
them, prescribe them in preference to
other remedies, as not only more pleas
ant TO take, but more effective to cure.
Parents and guardians, having the
care of children, should keep them as
family medicine for they not only Grad
icate Worms-those pests of childhood
but correct any derangement of the
digestive organs, so prevalent with chill
dren.

HOLLOWAY'S

DIR. Holloway, some fifteen years ago,
witnessing the distress occasioned siekly
children in taking the nauseous vermi-
fuges Of that day, resolved to annalyze
them, and from the most effective of
these remedies succeeded in separating
their active medical properties, pure,
tasteless and inodorous. Then, by
combining these with sugar, and mold
ing them into an agreeable confection,
formed the present POPULAR and KFFEC-

The Tenure Of ONCE Bill

The Secretary Of the Treasury
having, on several occasions, asked
the opinion of Solicitor Jordon on
certain appointments under the Civil
Tenure Of ONCE bill, three decisions
we're rendered by the Solicitor. The
first decision was that in cases where
a vacancy occurred previous to the
date OF the Tenure Of Office law, such
vacancy should be filed under the
old law. Second, where vacancies

the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury to fill the Office temporarily
by the appointment Of Deputy Col.
lector or Assessor, as the case may

Tor such action; and third, the Sec.
rotary of the Treasury has power at
will to remove such Deputy and ap.
point another to hold office until a
regular Collector or Assessor shall
he nominated and confirmed. These
opinions received the approval Of
Attorney General Stanbery when
made.

Connecticut and Impartial
Suffrage.

The Cincinnati Commercial says
the result of the election in Connect.
cut deserves TO be studied. Eighteen
months ago the proposition Of the
impartial su frrage was submitted to
the people Of that State, and voted
down by majority of over 6,OO0.-
Had the Union party in that State
boldly struck for universal suffrage
in 1865, it would not have been beat
en- 1867. There were enough intelli.
gent colored men in the State to have
reelected lIiwley, and every Union
candidate for Congress. While the
Union party in this State stand in no
such danger, by reason of its over
whelning strength, it will suffer just
as much loss by postponing action as
by meeting the question fairly and
squaiely at this time. Having once
determined il in favor Of impartial
suffrage, it will have added 10 its
reputation as party that expunged
from the constitution q disgraceful
JuuI Is the legitimate
offspring of an accursed institution
that has gone to deserved perdi-
ton.

The Democratic party opposed the
war after it had been forcet upon
the country by their friends of the
South, and wished them to succeed IN
breaking up the Union; it opposed
the abolition OF slavery, preferring
that the Southern people should live
by unpaid labor, thus preventing
white laboring men from settling in
the South. On the priIciple that the
laboring man is the inferior of the
wealthy aristocrat, it now opposes
impartial suffrage. That party was
always the enemy Of the laboring
man, and always will he so. from the
fact that it has been controlled by
men of the South who did exist upon
unrequited labor, aud now it is striv
ing strenuously to put the same men
IN control of the Union.
The interests of the laboring nlan
aud those OF the Democratic party
arc as opposite rs the North and
South poles.

river over waste veins placed near the top
Of the levees, IL Objectionable. First, be-
cause it would BIO difficult to regulate its
flow, and next, because 1t would be mop
erative, except in time of floods.
If the improvement which / am here
| suggesting, should not be soon adopted,
and the river banks should continue to
cave ~ they have done since have known
the stream it will not be many years be-
fore its channel will work its way out into
the low swamps in so many places, that
there will be too many "Grand Levees' to
build, and in fact, it may become mpossi-
bic to keep up the leyees at oil.
Nature requires that the river itself
should be the means Of elevating and no
claiming the lands in its valley.
BY the construction Of levees on the old
plan, VIC undertake to prevent this, while
by the improvement W hich am proposing,
we see nature aided in her work.
l think that we require powerful and
well contrived steam pile-drving ma
chimes for the purpose Of closing crevasses,
and then that we should keep these ma
chimes, and the necessary timber for the
purpose, in constant readiness at the m ost
onvenient places to be transported by the
first passing steamer to any required point.
In word, then, propose to hold back
in the tributaries, as much of the surplus
water as we can, then to FIJI the low
swamps with part of the remainder, and
outlet part lower down to the sea, while
it shall leave upon our lands the greater
part of its sediment and thon to lsvee in
all that We cannot otherwise dispose of,
and besides, prepare ourselves with the
means of repairing the levees at a mo-
ment's notice.
There may be little if anything new in
these propositions, still, if, as n combine
ton, or in parts, they are right, and based
upon correct principles, mere novelty, is a
matter of small importance.
| contend that whenever we undertake
great work, like the reclaim alton of the
delta of the Mississippi, or the control Of
its waters, we must see to it, that we work
as nearly in accordance with the designs Of
nature as possible, and that as soon Az we
depart from that rule, and undertake to
accomplish our object by the adoption of
violent measures contrary to natures laws,
30 soon shall we BIO overwhelmed with
disaster.
The cutoff made by the State, is u case
in point: all levees being an interference
with nature, have proposed to counteract
their influence as far as possible.
In am slr, very truly, your friend,

little degree Of interest, the advertisement
in TO- days paper, detailing the varied as
sortment Of recherche goods to be found at

reading the advertisement, we are inclined
to think, that the fair sex, for whose spe-

long in making up their minds to give our

better suited as to quality OF goods and
reasonableness of terms IN New Orleans,
