THE GOLD BOARD.
During the executive session held in the
morning there was great excitement. During
the debate James Brown Indignantly denied
that his house was unable to settle; they were
perfectly intact. He alluded to the operations
of last week, as conducted by financial ruff
fans. His remarks were received with min
gled Kisses and applause. The voice Of the
president was stopped 10y the confusion.

vailed. The Gold Board adjourned till noon,
and the excitement was succeeded by calm.
At the second session the committee OF nine
reported in substance that they had induced
the Gold Exchange Bank to delay the declara-
lion of failure against members who had not
made good their statements:

A Ratification is Final.
PETROLEUM V. MASSEY,
WITCH wuz Postmaster.

| THE New York Herald expresses the
| opinion that the newly-elected Legislature
of New York, being Copperhead, may re-
| scind the vote of ratification of the Fiji
teenth Amendment already made by that
| State.
A resembling resolution would not be
worth the paper on which it was written
When State once ratifes an amendment
to the Constitution submitted by Congress,
the act is final so far as that State is con.
cerned. A State may Withhold her consent;
and, if one fourth ofall the States withhold
their consent, the proposed amendment is
not adopted, A Legislature is not bound
to act on an amendment. 1t may vote not
to ratify, or it may decline to vote at all.
SO long as the consent of the State is with
held, it counts against the ratification !;
but, whenever majority of each branch
OF the Legislature votes to ratify, the
sanction OF the State is given, and the act
is irrevocable. The Constitution makes
no provision for resembling State votes of
ratification at any subsequent period. The
power OF the State over the question is ex-
hausted when its assent has been obtained
in the mode prescribed by the Constitution.
The formal ratification Of the Fifteenth
Amendment by the State of New York has
been certified to the State Department by
the Governor, and that ends the matter SO
far as that State is concerned. Amend
ments to the Constitution are not like
footballs, to be kicked backwards and for
wards between Congress and the State
Legislatures, but are solemn, irreversible
acts OF the law-making powers of the Ma
tional and State Governments, and each
step is complete in itself Congress can
not recall an amendment after it has been
submitted to the States any more than
State can recall its assent after it has
agreed to the amendment.
For New York to rescind her ratifica-
ton would be to commit an outrage and a
hagrant wrong on twenty-one sister States
which have ratified the amendment, and
on the remaining States which intend do
ing SO. Playing fast and loose in that way
is something not contemplated or per-
mitted by the Constitution, which points
out how State may consent to an amend
ment, but prescribes no mode of undoing
the act. Let those who claim that State
may resclnd its ratification cite clause of
the Constitution of the United States
which authorizes it to be done. If they
fall back for authority on the Calhoun
doctrine of State imperialism, we point
them to the explosion of that dogma by
gunpower during the slate unpleasant
ness between the advocates of National
Union and State Sovereignty.-G Chicago
Tribune.

Impaired Digestion.

All the organs of the BODY are, so to speak, the
pensioners of the stomach, In that living labora-
tory is prepared the nourishment required to sue-
tain them, and by the vessels and ducts connected
with the digestive apparatus, that nourishment is
conveyed to every part of the system. Upon the
quality and quantity of this element of life, and
upon the manner in which it is distributed and ap-
portioned, physical health materially depends, and
as the mind inevitably sympathizes with the body,
the vigor of the one is absolutely necessary to the
welbeing of the other.
1t is because HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS accomplishes this double object that it en-
joys reputation as apreventive and curative never
heretofore attained by any medicinal preparation.
But its direct beneficial operation upon the weak
dsordered stomach is not its sole recommends
ton. 1t is the most comprehensive of all known
remedies. 1t tones, strengthens and regulates the
discharging as well as the assimatng organs gen.
tly moving the bowels, promoting healthful evapo-
ration through the pores rousing the inert liver from
its torpor and inducing harmonious and natural
ton in the whole animal machinery This benign
result is not produced by any of the reactionary
drugs which used so lavishly in the old school
practice, founded by Paracelsus but by mild safe
and agreeable vegetable agents intermixed with q
pure and mellow stimulant which diffuses their in
fuence through the system and renders their SAM
tary properties active and effective.

even Liebig knew it better. His occupa-.
ton is the mixing and the adulteration OF
liquors. Give him dozen casks OF de-
odorized alcohol, and the next day each

uine wine or a popular spirit. He enters
a wholesale drug store, bearing a large
basket on his arm. Five pounds OF Ice
land moss are first weighed out to him:
To raw liquor this imparts a degree OF
smoothness, of oleaginousness, that gives
to imitation brandy the glibness OF that

A couple of ounces of strychnine, next
