SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for q rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach 10 affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
! the bowels in general arc cosrive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
q considerable loss of memory, &C.
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortituds
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several Of the
shove symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination Of
the body, after death, has shown the
Liver to have been extensively de-
rsnged.

have already been chosen i'll most OF the

Radicals. Whatever States are entitled 10
additional members will be authorized 10
elect them OH general ticket to be voted
Cor all over those States. Thus every state
in which the Radicals constitute the ma
jority of the voters will elect none but kaa-
ical members; and in this manner the trlck-
sters hope to add to their majority IN the
next House. They may reckon "ltnou'
their host. however; for Indiana ana MIS-
sonr; will elect none but Democrats, and
large proportionate number OF the ne"
members will come from those States.
Even Illinois might be carried by the Demo.
Gratis. Virginia and the rest of the South
ern States, except perhaps Texas and Ar
kansas, will have to content themselves
with the number Of members which tneY
now have. 1t seems to be the purpose OF
Congress to fix upon such basis OF repre-
septation as that no State shall have fewer
members than it now has. This purpose IS
doubtless due to desire not to cut down
the representation Of that home OF BUSY
bodies known rs New England, ana 10 the
difficulty of allowing the small States
neither too many nor too few representa-
tives, there being several States which.
should the basis of representation be nxed
at 200, coo souls, have too little population
to cntitle them to two representatives ana
too much to I've cut of with one. They are

not enough for two.

TIE DIrFEREScE.-A negro having CON-
planned to FoRNEY's Press that he had been
excluded from Philadelphia theatre, that
paper, which would have pronounced the
exclusion a greet outrage If It had been
made in Virginia, consoles the darkey as
follows:
cat all events, it is not very material
tssue for our colored friend. He had far
better be qualifying himself for the use and
enjoyment Of bis new franchise by some
other means than going to theatres. NO
race or class ever yet raised itself in such
way. If the colored people of Phlladel-
phis were kept out OF every circus, concert
saloon. or theatre in the city, they would
probably be all the better for it. The white
folks who educate themselves in places of
public amusement, whether 1t be the free
and-easy or the opera, are not the class
for our now citizens to emulate or copy af-
ter"

TIE refusal of the Senate Of the United
States to entertain Mr.. NcCREERy resolu'
ton Is not surprising, inasmuch is that re-
solution looked to the disinterment OF the
Federal soldiers whose bones lie buried III
tie Arlington cemetery, and to the rem
buisement Of Mrs. LEE for whatever losses
she may have suffered from the long Occu-
patton Of her property by the Government.
Mr. McCREEEY manifested none of the wis.
dom Of the serpent, however much OF the
simplicity Of the dove he may have shown.
Re Is not safe adviser.
We do not know that Mrs. LEE will regret
the determination of the Senate to retain
her property. 1t IS not necessary to her
comfort and happiness. Indeed, its pos
session would doubtless entail upon her
much discomfort, now that it has been con-
verified into both q cemetery and a refuge
Tor negroes. We have no idea that she ever
consented to ask for its restoration to her.
And as TO her children, we doubt if one of
them would accept it as gift from the Gov
eminent. Whenever that property is again
taken possession Of by d LEE, it must be as
the rlghttul owner, who, disposRessed for a
time by the most tortious OF acts, returns
to the home Of his ancestors as uudisputed
lord of the manor. "The King shall have
his o,cn again mot another's-
"When sertram's right and Rertram's nj. ut
EMAIL met ON Eilelgow"n's height"
Meanwhile, any descendant Of General
LEES can regard with scogn the "mousing
owls" who "hawk at" but can never kill
the reputation Of that illustrious man. And
we can all look on with serene indifference,
not to say calm contempt, when sUMNER,
or an EpNCEDs, or a FLANAGAN, or any one
Of the rest OF the tribe Of petty politicians,
attempts to forestall the judgment of pos.
feIity as to either the merits or the reputa.
ton Of Gen. LEE. AS no one can now re-
member the name Of the "loyalists" who
hundred years ago in Parliament DETAINED
che characters Of GEORGE WASHINGTON,
JOIN ADAMS, and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, So
few years hence, whilst LEES fame will
be growing brighter and brighter, even the
names of his congressional traducers will
have passed from the memories Of men.
how Notifying 1t must be to such small.
