The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1870-05-16

The Senate of Virginia has decided that
the commissioner Of the revenue named In
the Constitution is city officer. we are
amazed that any one should doubt the fact
The Petersburg Indez publishes letter
from Attorney General. TAYLOR which
seems to imply that he differs with the Sen
ate. We say "seems" to imply because his
language Is such that we could endorse it.
We quote ...
ssThere is no such Office in the township
organization as commissioner OF the revenue,
that Office being alone created by the Con-
stitution for towns or cities having popu-
lation of five thousand inhabitants"
This statement is unquestionably true
But the Tnae1 understands Mr.. TAYLOR to
mean thas this Is State officer. The mere
title, commissioner of the revenue" has
caused all the confusion. The township as
SCISSOR is called in the Constitution "asses-
sor," and the city assessor is called "com-
missioner of the revenue" Bothare corpo-
ration officers. No man can assign any
other reason than the mere fact that the
title is that of what was heretofore State
officer for supposing that the commissioner
of the revenue provided for in the Constitu-
ton for cities and towns is State officer.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS,

Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They re neither white nor small:
And you, L know, would scarcely think
That they were fair 81 all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptor's dream might be;
Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands
Most beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands
Though heart were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling Oh
That the children might be glad.
| almost weep, as, looking back
To childhood's distant day,
1 thins how these hands have rested not
When mine were II their play.
= Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They re growing feeble now.
For time and pain have left their mark
On hand and heart and brow.
Alas alas the nearing time,
And the sad, sad day to me,
When meath the daisies, out of sight,
These hands will folded be.
But, oh beyond this shadow lamp
Where all is bright and fair,
| know full well these dear old hands
Will palms of victory bear.
Where cry stsl streams, through endless years
Flow over golden sa"ds;
And whore the old grow young again,
I'll clasp my mothers hands.

The summer months are here. and usual
bring a long train of diseases-many dan ger Gus
and fatal. 1t is the season when nature can do
little in recuperating exhausted strength, and
when required 10 fOrtify physique
against the dangers arising from the universal
prevaleucv of sickness. The only true safeguard
Is that pure and reliable tonic and lnvigorator,
HERB BITTERs, which is in
dorsed and recommended by the medical faculty
and by unnumbered thousands of persons In
every city, town. and village in the country,
who have tested its remedial virtues, and by its
aid preserved or recovered their health 1t " i'll

The first effect of the Pills is to remove the
cause of your prostratlon. They carry of from
the stomach and bowels whatever is acrid, irri-
tating and obstructive. and as soon az this pres-
sure is removed, the VII ole internal organ ration
begins TO recover its elasticity The bile and all
the humors of the body purified, the circula-
ton reg uisted, preparation promoted, and ma
ture enabled to struggle successfu y with disease
Harmonious and beautiful organic action being
