Stanton and his Salary.

A statement having appeared in
the newspapers here to the effect that
Secretary Stanton has drawn back
pay during the interval from the time
he was suspended until he was rein
stated, the following letter was ad-
dressed to the editor ofthe Eeening

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. Is, 1861
To the editor Of the Star:
SIR: have noticed in several
newspapers q statement that Mr..
Stanton, On assuming the duties of
Secretary OF War yesterday, appear
ed at the Office. The statement is
entirely without foundation. Mr..
Stanton has not only not applied to
draw any pay. for the period Of his
suspension, but has informed me
that he does not consider himself en-
titled to any pay for that period un-
der the Act of Congress. Be plea
sed to publish this note. Very re-
spectfully.

STATE REPUBLICAN CON
VENTION AND E,THE Ma
TIONAL CONVENTION.

A dispatch to the Cincinnati Com
1serciol, dated Columbus, Jan. 23d,
says:
A large number Of Republican
members of the Legislature, and
others prominent in the party, in
Guiding ex-Governors Cox and Den
nison, Governor Hayes and Lieuten-
ant Governor Lee, met in the Senate
Chamber this evening, in response
to call of the Republican Execu
tive Committee, to confer as to the
time for holding the State Conven
tion. A canvass of large proper
ton Of those present showed but
two Chase men, the sentiment gen
orally being Overwhelmingly for
Grant, as was evinced in the re-
peated applause which greeted the
mention of his name. Governor
Dennison spoke of General Grants
nomination as foregone conclusion
settled upon by the popular voice.
Upon the recommendation of the
conference, the Central Committee
agreed to call the convention for
March 4th, to- nominate State
ticket and two electors and four del
gates at large, from Ohio, to the
Chicago Convention. The Commit
tee further recommend county COM
mittees to cali conventions or pri-
mary elections for delegates to the
State Convention, on Saturday, Feb
ruary 22d. Also, to recommend
that delegates to the State Conyen-
ton be authorized to appoint by
districts their delegates to the Ma
tional Convention. A call to this
effect will be issued soon. One del
egate will be allowed for each four
hundred votes cast for General
Hayes for Governor, and one for
each fraction over two hundred,
making the convention consist of
about five hundred delegates.

whose duty it is to determine Justice
exercise the supremest Junction.
Accordingly in all civilized ages the
Judge has worn the ermine, which is
the emblem of that spotless integrity
that combines purity OF motive with
|clearness and impartiality of judg
ment.
1t is this instructive perception of
the true character Of the judiciary
that has always made political judges
so odious to the mind of the people.
Next in of1ensiveness to those; who
take personal bribes are those who
allow political prejrdices to warp
their decisions. Jeffreys and Scroggs
are no more infamous for their vio-
lonce and brutality than they are for
their servility to the royal power
which made them; and in our
country, up to recent period, the
Judge who should have carried his
politics to the bench would have
been placed on level OF degration
with those disgraceful beacons of
English Jurisprudence. Nor can we,
even yet, with all the degeneraey of
public morals, look without some
feeling of aversion and dread at the
example of judicial officers who al
low their names to be used as candi-
dates for political preferment.
When the Congress, therefore, en-
beavers to subject the Supreme
Court to its control, by regulating
the rule of it's decision, and for no
other end apparently that the secret
purpose Of meeting particular party
issue, we are startled by the strange
ness of the event. It seems little
short of a sacrileoious audacity.-
But when the change they seek to
introduce is one of the gravest ma
ture, affecting essentially the charac-
ter of future decisions, and likely to
lead to gross injustice in many con
ceivable cases, we are bound to cry
out, in our loudest voice, Halt. In
the times Of the elder Adams &

object, by putting an additional mum

but the indignant republicanism oi
that day speedily swept away the

the undoubted right to multiply

requires it. But Congress has nc

Suitors are no longer equals in the
presence Of justice; the majority O

superior number; and the same righ

Vallandigham's defeat for the
Senatorship by no means resolves
him into that state of quiescence
which many have predicted for him.
According to the statements of his
friends he has already planned a
future campaign, and his objective
point is the speakership of the House
of Representatives. He has figured
up the election of q Democratic
House beyond the probability of a
doubt, and expects to be a member
of the Fortyfirst CongresNrom the
Third District of Ohio. He will
come here with a big fight in his
hands, and expects to rally his frien s
up to tie point of making him speak
er That is the next move on Val''s s
chess-5oard. 1t may look unrea-
sonable, yet no more so than his
calculations looked q year ago, when
he worked out a Democratic major
ity in the Ohio Legislature though
it is very true that he made slight
mistake when he figured himself into
the Senate as q result of that major
ity. He is receiving assistance every
day from the Congressional major
ity, who seem to have gone to work
with q determination to elect the
Democratic party next fall. He
will propably get additional help
next fall, if the campaign through
out the country on the Republican
side shall be, as it was in Ohio last
fall, a prolonged conundrum, enti-
tied, Where was Vallandigham
during the war p From present in
dications such will be the case.

Chronic Catarrh usually affects the head,
fauces and bronchial tubes. Il is invariably
caused by humoral or indammatory blood,
by which the mucous membrane is made
sore or inflamed, producing copious effu-
sion of yisc1d matter. If it be produced by
Serofula in the blood it is almost certain to
end in Consumption. unless speedily cured,
because it is impossible to entirely prevent
the matter from running down the bron-
chial into the air vesicles, and such is the
eAcoriating, or scalding property of the
matter. Its contact with the delicate Innings
of the air cells at once causes irritat: on, and
invites the humoral properties of the blood
to DEPOSIT therein Tubercles and Ulcers.

Catarrh almost always attends Consump-
ton, and frequ ntly leads to it.

In Oxygenized Air we have positive
cure for this disease. The remedyis taken
by rhalation,-breathed directly into the
lungs, and through them carried into the
blood; thus as soon as the blood will carry
it, it reaches all parts of the system, decom-
posing the impure matter in the blood and
expelllng it through the pores, and through
the natural channels from the system.
Thus you will see that the cause of the
disease is removed, and the. disease itself
must follow,

Influence of Newspapers.

A school teacher, who has been en-
gagged for long time in his profession,
and witnessed the influence Of a news
paper upon the minds of a family Of
children, writes as follows:
L have found it TO be universal fact
without exception, that those scholars Of
both sexes and all ages, who have access
to newspapers at home, when compared
to those who have not, are:
/. Better readers, excellent in pronun-
citation, and consequently read more un-
dersadingly.
z They are better spoilers, and define
words with ease and accuracy.
z. They obtain a practical knowledge
of geography in almost half the time il
requires of others, as the newspaper has
made them acquainted with the location
OF the important places, of nations, their
government and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians; for
having become so familiar with every
variety of style in the newspapers, from
the commonplace advertisement TO the
finished and classical oration of the
statesmen, they more readily comprehend
the meaning of the text, and constantly
analyze its construction with accuracy.
B. They write better compositions, US
ing better language, containing more
thoughts, more clearly and more cannect-
edly expressed.
Those young rnen who have for years
been readers Of the newspapers are al
ways taking the lead in the debating So
cieties, exhibiting a more extensive
knowledge upon greater variety of sub
jects, and expressing their views with
greater fuency, clearness and correctness
in the use of language.

An IMPORTAs- MOVE.
The Northern Lakes and the
Mississippi TO be United.

A convention met at Prairie du Chen
on the 10Th of this month, TO adopt
measures to secure an appropI1 1tion by
Congress for the Improvement of the
Fox and Wisconsin rivers, so as to open
a navigable channel for steam or other
vessels, connecting the great lakes with
the Mississippi and its affluent 1t as
sembled in pursuance of the call issued
some weeks since, signed by the Cover
nors of Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and
Minnesota. Delegations representing
Wisconsin were present from Green Bay,
Appleton, Oshkosh, Menasha, Berlin,
Montello, Portage, Madison, Sauk City,
Boscobel and other points
More than two hundred delegates were
present, including Governor Fairchild,
of Wisconsin, Governor Merritt, of Iowa,
Hon. Philetus Sawyer and Hon. b. f.
Hopkins, members of Congress from
this State, General lie Due. of Minneso-
ta president of the Hastings and St.
Cloud Railroad Company, number of
members elect of the Iowa Legislature,
Hon Hiram Barney, of New York city
and Col. Needham, of Boston.
The most important document read at
the convention was letter from Mr..
Penfeld, of the United States Treasury
Department, from which we give the fol-
lowing important points
A constant stage in the Mississippi,
furnished by the supply from the reser-
voir lakes, would be Of like inestimable
value to the business of the Fox and
Wisconsin route, approximating, as it
would, IN freight tonnage Of agricultural
products to that of the Erie canal From
the report Of the Auditor of the Canal
Department it appears that the Erie ca
nal, down to 1866, had paid the cost of
original construction and enlargement, y
expenses and interest, and had, over and
above, credit Of s4l i;S,oo0l!,00O in the
nal debt" of the State being for lateral
canals. What the Erie canal was in
connecting the great lakes with the Hud-
son, the Fox, and Wisconsin improve
ment would be in connecting the great
lakes with the Mississippi. x x x X

of the Mississippi would not only be of
the most signal service to the business of
the Fox and Wisconsin route, but incl

THE New York medical college for
women proposes to educate nurses, and
qualify them to attend the sick and CO.
operate with the physician. This is a
good idea. 1t is difficult now to obtain
efficient nurses, though the welfare of
patients often depends as much on nurs-
ing as on medical treatment. In serious
cases no doctor can be sure that his direc-
tions are carried out unless he has the
assistance of trainad nurses.
