shat upon canvassing the wishes Of the pro-
perty owners he has not found one who
desires the new pavement. These may be
good reasons why the resolutions should be
vetoed; but it makes very little difference
after all, because the management of our

Must Fail.

The decree of the Senatorial Doge has
gone forth and the head OF another victim
must fall. For having dared to express an
opinion in regard to the fitness Or unftness
of certain aspirants for Government posi-
tions in this State-for endeavoring to
secure the appointment of few personal
friends to minor official positions, and for
the great crime of refusing to bow in hum
Bile submission to the dictation of Cornelius
Cole, George C. Gorham must be torn fiom
his position as Secretary of the United
States Senate. No fault is found with the
manner in which his official duties have
been discharged, but then he has encroach-
ed upon the peculiar prerogatives of mem
Der of the Senate-a body, which it now
appears, is leagued together for mutual pro
lection in the matter of controlling and dis
pensing Government spoils and patronage.
We understand that when Gorham appear
ed before the Investigating Committee he
was informed that if he would apologize
to Cole, and refrain from uncomplimentary
illusions to the Senator in future, he could
retain the Secretaryship. To this it is
alleged, Gorham replied: "Senators, I
would be glad to retain the honorable posi-
ton, but cannot purchase it at the expense
of my independence and manhood" This
was enough, and the decree of removal
was forthwith entered upon the records of
King caucus.
Cole is now victorious petty dictator,
and it is to be hoped that the anxiety of
those honorable Senators who look with
extreme jealousy and displeasure upon any
example calculated to lead to the taking
away of even the smallest grain Of their
usurped powers, is allayed for the present.
Time sets all things even Senators can
not perpetuate their official terms by cacus
resolutions.

A SURE CURE FOR SMALLpox.-An
effectual remedy for the smallpox is said
to have been recently found by surgeon
Of the British army in China. The mode
Of treatment is as follows
When the preceding fever is at its hight,
and just before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with croton oil and tartaric
ointment. This causes the whole of the
eruption to appear on that part of the
body, to the relief of the rest. 1t also
secures a full and complete eruption, and
thus prevents the disease from attacking
the internal organs. This is now the es-
tablished mode of treatment in the Eng
llsh army in China, and is regarded as a
perfect cure

The fowls-eight pullets and three cocks
were imported from New York house,
where especial attention is paid to keeping
the breeds perfectly pure. The cocks are
magnificent specimens one Of them, now
but five months old, standing fully two feet
high. They are light colored, with black
feathers sprinkled among the white around
the neck, and with short tail of changable
green. At eighteen months old, Babcock
informs us the cock will weigh about sixteen
pounds, and the hens twelve or thirteen
pounds. These are the most magnificent
specimens of the kind we have seen. The
hens are said to be not only unrivaled for
their laying qualities and careful moulting,
but their flesh is delicate and unlike that of
most fowls of their size Four pullets and
one cock cost, landed in San Francisco,
500 in coin. These chickens are to be
carefully kept in his inclosure by them
selves that the blood may be retained un-
