frauds upon the whole body Of taxpayers;

sheltered under any roof escapes taxation.
Whatever the dishonest avoid paying their

spare nobody; least Of all those In the highest

rather severe upon Judge Chase on account of

THE TEST OATH.
why chief Justice Chase does not
Require Jurles TO tRkeIt.


RICHMOND, Nov. 25.-Chief Justice Chase
in his order to-day dispensing with tho test
oath for grand juries, explained that It was
the additional oath prescribed by Congress
which Is to DO taken unless the court in its
discretion direct otherwise. He added:
"Scruples at taking It, expressed by some
Of tho grand jurors known to bo among those
best qualified for the responsible duties Of
their position, have induced US to inquire
whether the public interests now demand that
the taking Of 1t bo requiredj and we are salts.
fed that while the matters affirmed In 1t are
proper cause Of challenge in particular cases,
the ends Of justice will be hinderod aud de.
feated rather than promoted and seconded by
directing 1t to be administered, unless some
special occasion shall demand It. No such
special occasion now exists; and inasmuch as
the required number Of grand Jurors have not
yet been sworn, we will order that those who
have been sworn be discharged, and the mar.
shall will summon another grand jury in the
usual manner"

It has not failed in single instance to have the wished-for effect. l am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. Tam free to confess that l know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects, On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If can get ii upon easy terms shall use great deal of it. 1 am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of 8 great majority of the regular line of M. D g, but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding remedy which we know to be etfi- cient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination. For my part, shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which l may be able to command-not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure Gll manner of disease to which human flesh is heir.
