sworn. says: Thinks inflammation of the
stomach and coverings as exhibited on the post
naortem was of recent date 1t is not likely
that inflammation would have occurred had
not some untoward circumstances happened.
Think chances Of recovery were favor
able if it had not been for said untoward DIR

DR.. A. 8. salley being produced aud sworn,
says: Saw deceased ON Friday 10th juno.
When entered the room Hanton was
sitting up in bed looking cheerful and
hopeful. Cautioned him not to exert him
self too much, as soon as he felt ia
tigued to lie down and rest himself, he re-
piled, he was fully able to sit up and was rest
ing himself. I frequently saw him before this.
On this day (Friday) he expressed desire to
eat did not see Hanton as his attending
physician On Saturday morning met DR..
Radszinsky who told me he would be absent
from the village for short time and begged
me if hc was not back by 3 o'clock to see these
wounded men for him. About half past three
o'clock, in company with DR.. Shuler, visited
them and found Hanton suffering intensely
with spasmodic cholic. I asked him what lie
had been eating, he replied he had eaten some
hard boiled Irish potatoes, said "Hanton did
you not know such diet would injure," he
replied, "That l was very hungry and nothing
nad Deen provided Tor us to eat, some one
brought in these potatoes and cat them."-
prescribed for him the usual remedies which
relieved him of his acute suffering. I saw
Hanton again at half past six o'clock, found
him still relieved of his acute pain but with
burning fever and general soreness over tho
abdomen. ! prescribed a dose of Castor oil

TEE TEST GATH.

There seems to be much misapprohen-
sion, with some, as to the int 1t and ct.
feet Of the expression of opiuion by Gen.
Grant, communicated to Gen. Buchanan
by Major keeler in the dispatch from
Washington, published by us Friday
last.
The telegram states that the opinion
was given with reference to the oath te
be taken by members elect to the Gene
raj Assembly under the new constitution
and not as to any officers under the State
or municipal government, who may 60
into office anterior to the final proclama
ton bv the President that the Legisla
ture has accepted the conditions of Con
cress. and that the State is therefore re.
tored by Congress to its full aut0nomy
Until such time as this takes place
the officers appointed by Gen. Buchanan
or authorized by him to accept the seat:
given them under the elections and &C
perform the functions Of such Offices
must take the oath prescribed by him II
the orders already issued.
The telegram expressly says, you
action with reference 10 municipal affair
is approved"
The distinction made as to the oath t,
be taken by members Of the Legislature
is founded, doubtless, on that made by
jurists between the representatives ofth'
people or of States and officers, %strictl,,
so styled. Where the acts of Congress
require an oath to be taken by call off
GERS" this does not apply to Legislative
representatives, for they are not officers
So any provision Of law which is reatrjc
tive OF the right to act or hold Office, Wi
not apply to tn, Legislature, unless it |
expressly added thereto, though, und''
the reconstruction laws, it does apply t
all State and municipal officers. Will
the State government is yet provision"
On the contrary, the test oath Of Con
grpss will not apply to State officers
when the proclamation If the pr"alten
shall have been made that the Logisl3
tuIe has complied with the laws Of re
construction, including the one wl'ic
will soon, beyond doubt, become a Law
Then the Commanding Generals at
thority will cease to be exercised owe
the affairs of ihr State, and the .oaths
be taken will be regulated only by til
constitution and laws IF the State, will
out reference to the laws of Congress.

"Ihe last few days have been fruitful
of most Interesting developments respec-
ting The great question of the day. We
mean, OF course, the nomination Of tn"
approaching Democratic National Con-
yvntIon.
These developments may be summed
up in a single sentence. 1t may now be
regarded as settled, that neither Salmon
?. Chase, George II. Pendleton, nor
Horatlo Seymour will be the Presiden-
tlal nominen Of the Convention. Judge
Chase vii! be rejected because he is un,
derstood to insist upon universal man
hood suffrage as the cornerstone Of his
platform, and because the more earnest
Positive Democrats will not consent to
the nomination Of any man who has sc
recently left the Radical party. Mr.
PendIeton will be rejected because he is
identified with a financial dogma which
the most solid and Influential advisers O;
the Democracy regard as unsound, i'm.

because the mighty and enthusiastic
throng Of Positive Democrats who follow
Mr.. Pcudleton regard him as the chiet
obstacle in the way of their success, anC
are resolved to punish him accordingly
These first class aSpirants being shut
out from the prize, and shut cut, as il
would seem, beyond power of recovery

A bill has just quietly passed both
houses of Congress without attracting
general notice, that is destined to have
a very important influence upon the f.
nanccs of this country. The bill refer
red to is that legalizing all contracts
made in gold. This is undoubtedly the
first step toward the resumption Of spe-
Gle payment. In commerce an unchang-
inc money of basis will always be pc
ferred to one {. tuctUating value, and,
moreover, as all foreign contracts are
necessarily made in gold exchange, 1t
will not be long before it usurps the
place of greenbacks IS the standard in
trade, the latter only being used at their
| current rate of discount. What effect,
! either Immediate or remote, the passage
of this bill may have upon the value OF
currency, time and the vicissitudes Of
trade eau alone determinc.-N. O. Times
CLIMATE Not THE CAUSE OF Colon.
It IS Il common opinion that climate
alone is capable OF producing all tie
div,rsitics Of complexion so remarkable
in the human race. n very facts may
snfice to show that such cannot be the
case. Thus the negroes Of Van Diemen's
Land, who are among the blacklist peo-
Dle on the earth, live in a climate as
cold as that of Iceland, while the lndo-
Chinese nations, who live in tropical
Asia, are of a brown and olive. complex
! ion. 1t is remarked by Humboldt that
the American tribes of the ~equinoctlal
regions have no darker skins than the
mountaineprs Of the temperate 50,
also, the Puelches of the Magellanic
plains, beyond the iiity-titth degree Of
south latitude, are absolutely darker
than the Abipodes, TOBIAS, and other
tribes, who are many degrees nearer the
equator. Again, the Cilaraus, who live
south of the Rio de la Plata, are almost
black, while the Guaycas, under the
line, are the fairest Of the American
tribes. Finally, not to multiply evan,
.plps, those nations OF the Caucasian race
(which have become inhabitants OF the
torrid zone in both hemisI heres, although
their descendants have been tor centu
ries, and in Africa for many centuries
exposed to the most active influence O
the climate, have lever in a solitary Ill.
stance, exhibited the transformation from
= Caucasian to negro complexion.
