THE BANKRUPT LAW. Congress
having refused to change the time
of putting this law into operation,
it is presumed that Chief Justice
Chase will, soon as possible, pro-
ceed to the appointment OF Commits
sioners of Bankruptcy in the diff
ferent districts of the country. What,
with the wild fluctuations of the
past few years, the effects of the pre-
sent prostration and apprehensions
of further disasters in financial and
business circles, there are likely to
be plentiful thousands in the coun-
try who will find it necessary to avail
of the practical benefits of the law
in order that their hands may be
united and their energies once more
freed and made available.

Connecticut.

The result of the election in Con-
necticut hasgiven cause for great re-
joicing to the conservatives all
through the North. The replacing
Of three radical Congressmen by three
conservatives is, indeed. matter of
congratulation to the whole country.
We trust it is but the beginning of
an auspicious end-of the party.
The National HteNigence,' thus ex-
presses its pleasant feelings over the
result:
s'Glorious news greets us from
the North. The land of steady ha-
bits nobly meets the expectations of
of the friends of constitutional 60
vernment. Never was q political
struggle more hotly contested. Never
was money more lavishly spent by
defeated partisens. Never was q con-
stituency moro flooded with adroit
special pleaders in behalf of de-
signing National Legislature. Never
was the pen more unscrupulous in its
efforts to make the worse appear the
better reason. Never were the pas-
sions engendered by the war more
violently appealed to. But neither
money, nor patronage, nor elo-
quence, nor an army of Office holders,
nor subsidized press, nor vile pas
sions, availcd the plotters against the
Constitution. The revolution is stay
ed. The war upon our submissive
brethren If the South is ended. Con-
necticut has spoken. New York will
follow in the election for constitu-
tional delegates. Pennsylvania, the
keystone of the arch, will vindicate
the integrity of the Government as
our fathers framed it, and the Union
will be sustained, according to the
Constitution, which sprang from the
sagacity, the patriotism, and the suf-
ferings of the men of '76.' Mr.. Eng
lish is elected by majority equal to
that by which he was beaten year
ago. Three Democratic Congress
men have been elected to one radical,
instead of solid radical delegation,
as in the last Congress. It IS but the
beginning of the end"

IIABITUAL CONsTIPATION-HO "

TO EFFECT Il CERTAIN AND PER
MANENT CURE.-Somo occupations of
life pre-disposo to costiveRess, especially
those which allow but littlo exercise. Per-
sons who contract this unfortunate habit
of body, under such circumstances, might
possibly be relieved by changing their
sedentary employments for others of q
moro active kind; but this is by no means
certain. Habitual constipation is very
obstinate disorder. All the ordinary So
called remedies invariably aggravate it,
Nothing can be more injurious than the
continued uso of strong apericnts. They
at first irritate, and finally almost para
lyzc the bowels-rendering them SO torpid
that enormous doses of cathartic mcdi-
cincs have no effect upon them. A mild
aperient, combined with gentle stimu-
liant, is the true remedy; and g. conlbina-
ton, i'll the happiest proportion, of these
ingredients, is found in HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS. This famous sto-
machic invigoratcs the whole intestinal
canal, while quietly removing from its con-
volutions all impedimcnts to free passage
through them. No nero purgativo has
this double operation. No ordinary stimu-
lant effects the desired object. Cases of
constipation, abandoned as hopeless by
distinguished medical men, have been
cured in few weeks by tho Bitters. To
those who have tried all the medicines of
tho dispensary in vain, We say, try this
irresistible stimulant and aperient. There
is no sufficient reason why constipation
should be the consequence of scdentary
habits. HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, by sup
plying the vigor which would otherwise be
| derived from exercise, will in all cases en-
able the system to perform its excrctory
functions regularly and beautifully.

SOLDIERS AND sEAMEN'S HOME.
When the war ended and our armies
were mustered out of the service, and hos
pitals broken up, there were many gallant
soldiers who were disabled by wounds and
diseases contracted in the service, from
making their own living and taking care of
theseives Many of them were without
homes and without friends, who must eth
cr pass into the common poor house ol
charity, or provided for by the State. Tie
suppor; furnished by private charity, would
b. precarious and uncertain, and justice,
humanity. and the honor of the State, for
bade that those men should suffer for the
comforts of life, or find that the poor house
and the society of paupers should be the
end and reward of their campaigns in
which they had sacrificed their health and
capacity to provide for themselves. The
State had called thcm to the field and they
had nobly responded 10y abandoning theiI
occupations, leaving behind them familv,
friends, the comforts and pleasures of life,
and entered the army to fight for a cause
in which they had no greater interest than
those who remained at home to pursue
their avocaiions, and live quietly and safely
