TOBACCO AND Badness. -Dr. Hol

Surgical journal, that the use of tobacco,

support of his theory he says: "A gentle
man under forty years of age, and pat

using tobacco, to excess for many years.
and who had been for the last five or six
years both bald-headed and gray-headed.

A New War.

Haper's Weekly in It's last number tells
us very clearly how the election of Scy-
mour and Blair will occasion a new civil
war:
'.How 4 democratic success at the cleo
ton would occasion civil war is easily
seen. General Blair does not hesitate to
avow it. Congress must be wholly disre-
garded. The Supreme Court mist not b.
invoked. The President must usurp ali
powers of the government and act alone.
lie must be Il Caesar. Because. says Gea-
cral Blair in his letter. if the President
elected By the democracy entoreeS, or per-
mits others to enforce, these keconstruc-
ton acts, the radicals, by the accession OF
twenty spurious senators and fifty repre-
sentatiyes, will control both branches OF
Congress. and his administration will be
as powerless as the present one of Mr..
johnson. Force IS, therefore, the only
alternative.
IF Mr.. Seymour be elected after this
loud and reiterated declaration by his par
ty that his election will mean fo,cible over
throw of the present state governments in
the southern states. the result is evident.
He would then be impeached and probably
convicted; but the democratic party, vie
torious at the polls, with the whole rebel
force jubilant and ready, would dispute
the sentence and rise against its execution.
Meanwhile in the southern states the new
democratic state organizations summoned
by the PRESIDENT would be formed. They
would dispute the state authority with the
prcsent incumbents. The President would
recognise the new claimants and order the
army to their support. and to 'trample in
the dust the others. They in turn would
appealto Congress, already engaged in
conflict with the President. Meanwhile
the representatives and senators from the
new state organizations would arrive in
Washington, and in concert with the other
democratic members would be recognized
as Congress by the President. But, III
deed, long before this event civil wal
would be ravaging the country, and Wade
Hampton. and Robert Toombc. and How
ell Cobb, and the old rebel Chiefs who say
with Albert Pike. we do not love and will
not pretend to love that Union, though we
have agreed to obey the laws of the con

iating war and a ruined republic the full
ness Of their revenge"

WASHINGTON.
Report from the Secretary OF State
Relative to the Treaty with the
German Warrants Against
the Treasury Department.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Presi-
dent, to-day, sent to the House a re-
ply to a resolution or report from the
Secretary of State in relation to the
negotiations and treaty with any of
the German States since the first of
January last, relating to the rights Of
naturalized ciFizeHs. In one Of the
letters from Bancroft, of January 20,
he says that Count Bismarck informs
him that the British Government has
inquired of him as to the answer of
the Prussian Government on the sub
ject of naturalization. In reply he
informed them ofthe intention Of this
Government to come to an under
standing with that Of America. The
remarks OF Count Bismarck implied
that the British Government IS in
clued to follow the example Of the
Prusssan Government, aud that the
settlement Of the question here viii
be virtually settlement for Great
Britain.
Seward to Bancroft, February I3th,
says: | have informally suggested to
the British Minister here that pro-
ceeding, IN form mutual or common.
in the legislation Of the wo countries,
would be more simple and probably
easier thad a formal negotiation in
the naturalization laws existing be-
tween the United States and those of
the two governments respectively,
inasmuch as there are so many other
questions which urgently require a
settlement between the United States
and Great Britain. Besides Of the con
Aicting naturalization laws, the doou
ments include a copy Of the treaty
recently concluded between the
United States and the North German
Confederation.
Bancroft, in explaining the history
OF the negotiation, says on the ques-
ton of the right Of expatriation
there was no discussion; it is cecOg-
nized by the laws of both countries.
: On the question of residence as con
dition OF naturalization, which the
mother country should respect, there
existed no difference. The time oi
residence was point OF mor8 deli
caoy. The Prussian law required an
| absence of ten wears; ours a residence
