a Case under tho Clvm Tenure Law

a Case under the CIVIl Tenure Law.
Col. Alexander, the Postmaster at
Washington, is about to give the Pres.
ident trouble. He proposes to raise an
issue under the tenure-of-oftice act.
His successor, Judge Edmunds. of
Michigan, having been appointed, filed
his bonds, took the oath of office
and presented himself at the office. Col
Alexander refused to vacate on the
ground that no charges had been pre-
ferred against him. 1t appears that his
attorney had advised him that, under
the modified tenure-of-o Office law, the
President has no right to remove him,
but must suspend him on charges. Ed
munds will make another demand 70
the Office, and If Col. Alexander per
sIsts in his refusal, then the matter will
be submitted to the Attorney General.
Col. Alexander may carry the case to
the courts.

ing Saturday night, TO consider the
course of Public Printer Clapp upon the
question of employing colored journey
men, and admitting moro than SIX APP
prentices. At last The meeting was
adjourned TO prevent action, with the
idea that CIapp would abandon mis-
position. On The other side, Mr.. CiapE
SAYS lie considers it an absurd idea that
the Government should be controlled
by any Union, and he declares he will.
employ colored men without regard tc
the action of the Union; and further
that he expects to put in some colored
apprentices.

The Boston Traveller of Friday says:
"We learn from Mayor Shurtletf, who
has just returned from Washington,
that President Grant will endeavor so
to arrange his business that he may be
present in Boston during the~week of
The Musical Peace Festival. During
the first part OF the week the President
will be at West Point, and II his en-
engagements there will allow him TO
leave on Wednesday, he will come to
Boston. The President told Mayor
Shurtleff that he was anxious to be
present in the city during Jubilee

would prevent him from gratifying the
wishes of the committee aud the people
of Boston,"

RaANDRErn,s PILLS VS.. BLEED1xC

L n n
Bleeding may give ease, because the blood
left has more room but the ease does not
last, and is followed by premature weak
ness.
BRAEDRETH'S PILLS relieve the circu-
iauon and give ease more surely aad almost
as quickly as bleeding; but Brandreth's Pills
never hurt' and the good they do is perma-
hent, because they take only what the body
and blood are better without PurcatIon
with these pills will be found
a UNIVERSAL Curative Principle.

DO You ADVERTISE ?--The business
Of place is measured by the extent of
its advertisements. If merchant has
goods to sell and wants to sell them, he
should advertise them. When a new
or rare article of produce is obtained, il
should be thrown into Market by an ad-
vertisement, if quick sale is desired,
If II farmer has choice article for sale,
let him advertise it, and he need not
spend days in looking for purchaser
for one will be at his house imme late
ly. fla mechanic desires work, let him
advertise for it, and he will receive cllls
from persons who never before sIw
him. If a person wishes to employ
workmen or laborers, let him advertise,
andN he will be able 10 make the better
SELECTION. While it Is true tnat some
csAders scarcely even read advertise
ments in a paper, n majority do read
and remember, 1t il obvious that the
man who advertisei and the business
which is advertised securA, the most
patronage and success. Reahs do You
advertise your business aud your ". nts?
