Can't Ofciate Eight Years.
The President has appointed Col. Jesse
M. Bsyles postmaster at Louisville, vice
DR.. Speed, who has been in Office eight
years. This appointment, it IL stated, is
in accordance with a declaration of Presi-
dent Grant some time since, that certain
persons who had held their Office for eight
years must give place 10 others who had
suffered by the war, provided they are
equally competent for the position.
The condition of political affairs in New
York received some attention at
The Late Cabinet Meeting
with view TO the changes in the princis
pal offices and to bring incumbents fully
in accord with the administration.
What Candy is Going 30 Do.
1t is learned from sources deemed reli-
able that Gen. Candy will soon proclaim
the result Of the late election in Virginia;
., That on the fourth Tuesday thereafter the
; Legislature will meet, and that the test
oath will not be allowed to act on questions
beyond those required by Law preliminary
to tie recognition of the State by Con.
gress, the latter including the ratification
of the fifteenth amendment TO the conslitu-
tion of the United States.
AttGrney-GeneraI's Opinion Of the
Fest Oath.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3'-1he War De-
psrtment yesterday received from Attorney
General Hoar his opinion relative to pc.
litical affLirs in Virginia, and has trans,
mitted the same to General Candy for his
information AID guidance. 1t depends
upon the latter to make the text public.
The Attorney General says the Legislature
must as prerequisite submit the constitu.
tion and their action thereon to Congress
for approval. In THE the test oath will not
be required.
If he constitution and action Of the lie,
gis!alure be approved. the Lagis lature then
becomes the Legislature of a State, and
the provisions of the constitution fixing the
qualifications Of members Of the Legisla.
tare necessarily act, the requirements
Of the reconstruction scs being thus su-
perseded go far as Virginia is concerueG;
but before such approval by Congress,
Virginia not being in all respects a State
Of the Union, the Legislature as a pro.
visiCnal body can not pass laws without its
members taking the test oath. The re-
construction acts require the ratification Of
The fifteenth amendment TO the constitution
of the United States before the State can
be admitted TO representation 10 Congress.
There is no question that this amendment
will be ratified by an overwhelming ma
jority.

Removing National Capital.
From correspondence in the hands of
the National Capital Convention Commit
tee, it appears that Gov. Geary, Of Penn
sylvsnia, declines TO send delegation to
the National Capital Convention 10 be
held here next month, on the ground that
in his opinion the people of Pennsylvania
are not ready to sanction such a move
ment at present. Gov. Baker, Of Indiana,
while he approves the movement himself,
questions his authority to appoint dele.
gates in the absence Of expression of the
views of the people on the subject. The
Mayor of Memphis thinks the convention
should be postponed one year.
Henry s. FoOte,
OF Tennessee, claims to have favored the
removal of the capital for twenty years.
Gov. Yarmouth, of Louisiana, and Gov.
McClurg, of Missouri, announce their IT,
tention of appointing full delegations. The
convention will be held if no more than
three States are represented.

THE BYRON SCANDAL.
Err. Bonner would not have Publish

Gu ~ Oh DOllbESs
New YORK, August 80, 1S69.-To the
Editor Of the Herald: In your paper OF
this morning l find the following state
ment, copied from the Louisville Courier
Journal, in regard to Mrs. Stoves recent
article on Lord Byron:
Dana and Bonner fairly burst with
spleen-Dana because he didn't invent
the Byron scandal, and Bonner because
he didn't get it for the Ledger. Dam
nation' cried Bonner, when he first got
an inkling of it, why didn't she first
fetch it to me? Why, I'd have paid her
a cool $4,000 for it,"
This is not only falsehood, but it is
a falsehood which no one at all acquaint-
ed with me could ever have invented.
Whatever l might have thought about
Mrs. Stoves article, it would have been
quite contrary to my habit of speech to
characterize it by the word "damnation;'
but this l must say, that million OF
dollars could not have induced
me to print that gross and
indecent article in the Ledger,
no matter what the publishers of the
Atlantic Monthly were willing to do.
Few women have evinced so much
talent as Mrs. Stowe. l have myself
purchased articles from her for which l
have cheerfully paid her high price;
but they were very different articles
from the one under consideration. And
do not believe that any true friend who
was himself in his right mind could have
advised her to sell fer any sum that
morbid, terrible and unnatural halluci
nation about Lord Byron. For her SAX

has done it. know of no article pub
iished in my life time calculated to exert
a more injurious and demOralizing influ'
ence on the rising generation, and fol
this reason / wish everybody to know
that nothing would have tempted me Il

RENDERING WALLS OF HOUSES IMPERs
vfoUs TO DAMP.-Inquiries are of6n
made by persons about to build houses, or
sufferers in those already erected, as to the
best means of preventing or curing damp
walls. Apart from the precautions to be
taken when building, in regard to the
tightness of the roof of the house, the ex-
clusion of moisture from the outside soil
or the cellar, the integrity of the water
pipes, ETC., it is recommended by an
English writer TO coat the walls with a
thin layer Of cement, mixed with some
plaster of Paris, and when perfectly dry
to paint il with a mixture Of boiled linseed
oil and red lead. If the wall is to be hard.
finished, it may be coated with a mixture
of plaster of Paris and sulphate of zinc in
a thin solution of glue. This, when dry,
may be rubbed quite smooth with pumice-
stone. Another suggestion is to use a
paint of fifty parts white sand, fifty parts
of mari, nine of litharge and nine Of red
lead mixel up in boiled linseed oil.

in my family for some time past My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was so much broken OF rest at
night that-by excessive coughing and loss ofseep-
her constitution and general health seemed to be
giving away Various remedies or palliatives were
recommended by intimate neghbors but nothing
was tried until our attention was called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodds Nerve, This we
p' ocured and commenced using at once-with an eff
1ect immediate and surprising. AS the commissions
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-
vine on her going to bed. The first dose administer
ed made its impression; the cough became less fire.
quent, and very much less severe she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well aseyer. What
was left of the whooping cough thereafter of
trouble Of course cannot but consider Dodd's
Nervine and Invigorl tor an invaluable romedy for
this distressing maady. / may add that have

to be equally successful 1t needs only to be known
