I have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts so powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in eases of female irregularity, as
does this medicine. In all recent cases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer-
ers, indebted to it for the boon of health to-
day.
Although so powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times,
except when specially forbidden in the directions

Stay Law Decided Unconstitutional

In the case of Taylor u.s. Stearns and others. in

Inc facts OF the case are brief Y these In 1850,
Hon. John 81. Gregory sold to G. A. w. TAYLOR
his residence in Richmond. For the payment OF
the purchase money, ten promissory notes were
giren, maturing at various dates. To secure the
payment OF these notes a deed Of trust was
given by Taylor to Gregory, and the prornissory
notes were sold by Gregory to Franklin Stearns.
Stearns, since the war in,consequence of The non
payment OF the notes, directed the sale of the real
estate upon which deed Of trust had been given.
Taylor sought by Injunction arrest the sale of the
property by the trustee, Hpox5the ground that the
stay law expressly orbids the collections of debts
and sales under deeds Of trust of earlier date than
April, 1865. The Counsel for Stearns took issue
upon the question of the consttutionaity
OF the stay law. After the question was ably
argued upon beth sides, the Judge dissolved

The Va: Legislature Votes on the
Constitutional Amendment

w hen iIr. Segar said, In his letter re-
published last week in, our columns but
the change is begun That positively
manufacturing to the sentiment of the
Legislature Ill regard to the constitutional
amendment-he must have made slight
mistake, if he meant that the schangc"
was in favor of that measure. He must
have calculated without bis host, or sud
den change must have very recently come
''o'er the spirit Of the dream of cur wsr-
thy representatives in Richmoad.
On Wednesday the 9th instant, Senator
Boiling, from the Coinalaittee on Federal
relations, reported that he had been instruc-
ted by that Committee to report the fol-
lowing joint resolutions:
Resolved, by the General Assembly
of Virginia, That it declines to ratify the
18th article proposed as an amendment to
the Constitution Of the United States.
'Resolved, further, That this resolution
be- communicated by the Governor to the
Secretary OF State Of the United States.''
These resolutions passed the Senate
without dissenting voice.
In the House OF Delegates, the same
resolutions were adopted, with but one
dissenting voice-NIr. D. W. Lewis, of
Fairfax, voting in the negative; and Mr..
". /. B. Taylor, If Patrick, declared
that he voted for the resolutions with re-
luctance.
Here I'VE have the sentiment Of the Lee
glslature upon this important question.
and there is abundant reason. to, believe that
their action will meet the approval of the
people. If the people of Virginia, and
the Legislature, could have had any assn
rance that the State would have been re-
stored to the Union and her oliosea rep
resentatlv as admitted to seats in Congress
immediately upon the adoption of the pro-
posed amendment. the temptation to yield
the principle for the sake Of peace and 3
final settlement Of the questions involved,
would have been very strong. and the
"change' Of which Mr.. Segar speaks
might indeed have taken place, not only
in the feeling and action of the Legisla-
ture, bat among the people. But such
assurance was not only not given. but the
leaders. of the radical party in Congress
boldly, and persistently proclaimed that no
State lately In rebellion against the Gov
eminent that had not conceded the right
of suffrage to its negro population, with
no other restrictions than those imposed
upon lis white voters, should be admitted
into the union--and all this in the face of
the notorious fact that majority of the So
called ''loyal States" including Mr.. Ste
vens' own. State. Pennsylvania, deny this
ngRt'to tEeIinegse population. The Leg
slature of Virginia, therefore, with these
facts before them, have acted wisely and
in accordance with the sentiment of the
people.
