CHICAGO, March lO.--The Chicago Times
special says: Attorney General Stansberry
has sent in his resignation, coupled with the
hope that it may be accepted at once. The
object of the resignation is to allow MIR.
Stansberry to become one of the Presidents
counsel in the impeachment trial, which he
cannot do while he continues a member of
the cabinet.
Adrienne Anderson, an accomplished
young lady of this city, died yesterday under
the influence of chloroform, administered by
two surgeons prior to on operation of ampu-
tation upon her arm. 1t is said the melan-
cboly result was more due to the weakened
condition of the young lady, than to the eff.
fects Of chloroform.
The Tribune's Washington special saws:
The Illinois delegation in congress have
reach d the conclusion that no proper ap-
preparation can be obtained at this session
for the Illinois ship canal. They, however,
have determined TO prepare bill providing
for the improvement of the Illinois river
from the terminus of tho present canal to
its mouth, according TO the plans of Gen.
Wilson and Mr.. Gooding. The bill will call
for one million nine hundred and fifty three
thousand six hundred dollars, to be ex-
pended by the secretary of war under proper
regulations 1t is believed that such i'm
provements will increase the revenues of the
present canal eight hundred thousand dol
lars per annum and secure deep cut at no
distant day.

vital interests of the country.

Resolred, That we recognize with emotions OF
A.. ss.rsst ora,itude the efforts of the gallant
yoInnteers who so freely took up arms to defend
the flag and prevent the destruction OF the Union
and that we denounee as an insult to them the
efforts of the radicals to prevent the restoration
of the Union until negro supremacy is establish
ed in certain states, and negro equality made the
rule in all.
Resolved, That the naturalization of foreign
born citizens places them upon the same footing
as those born in the country, and it is the duty
of the government to that all ctize>s natural
ICED and natives, protected in their rights OF
life, liberty and property, abroad as well as at
home, and that in the view of the democracy the
flag of the country ought and must be made to
protect all our citizens.
The platform was unanimously adopted.
A resolution was adopted that the delega-
ton cast the vote of the state as unit in
the national convention.
The convention was exceedingly large
and very enthusiastic. Reports from all
portions of the state announce that in Octo-
Der and November the state will roll up
25,o00 democratic majority.
The competition for nomination was in
tense, as it is equal to election.
The resolutions, especially on the financial
question, were read and passed amid deafen-
ing applause. The majority of the delegates
are in favor of the election of Mr.. Pendle-
ton, and, as the delegates are instructed to
vote as a unit, he is believed to be sure of
pennsylvania in the national convention.

Efficacy Of Onions.

A writer says: ave are troubled often
with severe coughs, the results OF colds OF
long standing, which may turn to consump-
ton or premature death. Hard coughs cause
sleepless nights by constant irritation of the
throat, and a strong effort TO throw offensive
matter from the lungs. The remedy pro-
pose has been tried by me, and recommend
ed by me with good results, which is simply
to take into the stomach, before retiring for
the night, piece of raw onion, after chew
ing. This esculent, in an uncooked state,
is very heating, and collects the water from
the lungs and throat, causing an immediate
relief to the patient"

The recent town elections in the eastern
states show immense democratic gains

Another republican steal has been
brought to light, by Gen. Geo. W. Morgan.
democratic congressman from Ohio, by
which it appears that the recent radical su
perintendent of the treasury printing bureau,
Clarke, had obtained the certificates of three
other officials of the treasury, to the destruc
ton, in their presence, of cancelled bonds to
the amount of SIS, $4,000, while in fact and
in truth no such bonds had been destroyed,
and while what was supposed to be such
bonds was nothing more than blank paper.
Washburne, Logan and Price attempted ex-
plantations, and finally the matter was refer
red to committee who, of course, will
whitewash it oyer. Eighteen and a half
millions is pretty big steal We suppose
it was wanted to carr elections with.

Mr.. LEOPOLD HoFF, SAB Broadway n. Y.
DEAR SIR-In reply to your inquiry as TO
the action taken By the Academy Of Medi-
cine in reference to Hoffs Extract Of Malt,
which was submitted TO it for action some
weeks since, | have to inform YOU that the
Committee of Three to whom it vas re-
ferred, with directions to report upon Il took
the matter into careful consideration, and
on the 9th inst, majority of the committee
presented n~eport thereon. of which the fol.
lowing is an extract:
This letter and the following report are
signed by the chairman of the committee,
DR.. John II. Griscom.l
REPORT To THE NEW YORK A,Apay OF
MEDICINE.
"The Committee have ascertained 10 what
they consider a sufficient extent the ingre-
d'ents of the article, and also its mode of
preparation, and they have reason to believe
that II differs in some marked particulars
from the usual preparations of malt known
under the name of Beer, Ale, and Porter,
and they believe it calculated TO act as a
mild tonic, and to a certain extent as Nu-
triment In some cases, in which the ordinary
malt liquors might not be found to agree.
especially in consequence OF the moderate
quantity of Alcohol it contains in comparis-
on with them, and they feel justified in re-
commencing it to the profession for trial in
appropriate cases."

During Mr.. Lincoln's administration,
when the jaeobins wanted to get Montgom
cry Blair out of the cabinet, they presented
to Mr.. Lincoln the following statement:
THE theory of our government, the early and
uniform practical construction thereof, is, that
the President should DO aided by a cabinet eOun-
Gil agreeing with him in political principle and
general policy, and that all important measures
and appointments should be the result of their
combined wisdom and deiberation. This most
obvious and necessary condition of things, with
out which administration can succeed, we and
the public believe does not exist, and therefore
such selections and changes in its members
should be made as will secure to the country
unity OF purpose and action in all material and
essential respects, more especially in the present
crisis of public affairs.
"The cabinet should be exclusively composed
of statesmen who are the cordial resolute, unwa-
vering supporters Of the principles and purposes
above mentioned.
This statement was signed by the follow
ing United States senators:
Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson, Massachusetts;
Benz. F. Wade, John Sherman, Ohio; Preston
King, Ira Harris, New York; David Wilmot,
Edgar Cowan, Pennsylvania; l.. \. NJ. Morrill,,
W. ?. Fessenden, Maine; James Dixon, l.. s.
Foster, Connecticut; Jacob Collamer, Solomon
Foot, Vermont; David R. Clark, John P. Hale,
New Hampshire; ii. b. Anthony, Rhode Island;
Zschariah Chandler. Michigan; Lyman Trumbull,
o. H Browning, Illinois; James Grimes, James
Harlan, Iowa: S. c. Pomeroy, Kansas; j. r.
Doolittle. T. o. Howe. Wisconsin.
We shall see how many of the above
named senators will vote to convict Mr.
Johnson for removing Stanton. dozen Of
them voted for the ofhce-tenure act, which
is in direct violation of what they asserted
to be "the theory of our government, tht
early and uniform practical construction
thereof" AS Blair was removed at the de
mand of Chief Justice Chase. we shall see
the latter still holds to the opinions abov,
quoted.

The New York Times concludes an ar;i-
Gle upon the democratic protest offered by
Mr. Eldridge and his coadjutors. and the &C
ton of the majority of the house of repre-
sentatives in refusing hearing to the minor
ity, as follows;
"The evil is not one which any party can
long afford to pass unnoticed. For the fair
opportunities for examination and discuss
ion. which are now systematically denied,
are not to be confounded with factious oppo
stion. or the use which minorities are some
times willing to make of forms to the preju-
dice of public business. Only in the pres
ence of these tactics, or under the pressure
of some sudden emergency, can the absolute
powers which the present majority continu.
ally exercise be justified. They are intend
ed to guard against abuses-not to be in
struments of tyranny in the hands of those
who are strong enough to take care of their
measures and their perversion to ends which
Mr.. Stevens has made politically fashionable
is one of the worst features of the system
now in vogue in the house.

The mysteries of telegraphiug are some
thing wonderful. Read the following, which
we clip from one of our exchanges:
A train on the Bennington and Rutland
WI Railroad got stuck in a snow-bank
near SALISBURY, and could stir neither way.
John Hills, Burlington telegraph operator,
who happened to be on the train, cut the
telegraph wire, and by attaching thereto a
piece of wire, made circuit by striking this
against the end of the conducting wire, and
communicated their condition 10 Rutland,
whence an engine was sent TO relieve the
train. Hills received his answers by placing
the ends of the wire on either side of his
tongue and receiving il his system the
shocks produced By the vibrations of the key
IN the Rutland telegraph operators hands.
