A LIVELY EXAMINATION

Mrs. Sage, mother of Mrs. Mcfarland, an
Interesting old lady, cool, clear headed and
amazingly garrulous, gave more trouble to the
counsel for defence iian any witness who had
yet appeared. Throughout the old lady's exam
ination lively running fire was kept mp be-
tween them and the witness, who seemed rs we'll
able to use her tongue as any lawer, the audi
encc were considerably and amusingly occu-
pied. Though counsel for the defence made
the witness appear inconsistent and contradic-
tory, there was general disposition to excuse
her great zeal to make her daughter out n
much abused. long suffering, good and amiablc
creature, and lay all the blame possible at
McFarlands door. Her justification of her
daughters course in separating from her hus-
band and going TO seek o divorce in the State
of Indiana created q sensation.

MIR. Bossieux moved to go into the cleo

The Senate on Thursday refused to take

The Senate on Thursday refused TO take
nm the bill for the enforcement OF the ff'
feenth amendment. Notwithstanding shat
that bill was reported from one of the most
important committees in the Senate, and
Notwithstanding that it in effect proposes
to repeal every registration law in the Uni
ted States, and to give the power of deci-
ding all cases Of contested elections to the
Judges of the Federal district courts-thus
in fact wiping out the States-not one pa
per In the whole North has, so far as we
have observed, denounced the bill or even
90 much as called particular attentions to It's
censralizing features. Itdoes seem as ifthe
northern people had been struck with judi
cisl blindness. They allow their dearest
rights TO be taken from them, and make no
protest.
The refusal Of the Senate to take up the
bin on Thursday Is no indication that II
viii not soon be passed. Even Senator
SHERMAN has declared himself in favor o.
It. With MORTON, EpMuNDs, TRUMBULI
and SHERMAN in its favor, there is no reason
to hope for its defeat.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1870-05-07

Mr.. SHERMAN's bill to do away with SO
many Of the internal revenue taxes will be
a popular measure with the people, what
ever may be its fate in Congress. Such 6
law as he proposes would produce all the
revenue needed for the support of the Go
vernment, and relieve the Treasury of the
expense of an army Of officials now EN-
ployed in collecting little sums. There i:
10 reason for continuing hundred miser
able petty items Of taxation which produce
only few millions Of dollars of revenue
when the taxation Of few leading articles
win supply the Government with. all the
money it needs. We have not seen the bill
but II it be such one as we suppose it is,
we shall rejoice to see it passed. PATRICK
HENRY predicted in 1871 that the Federal
tax collector would some day follow in the
tracks of the sheriff in the several States
but even PATRICK HENRy's fancy never pic
tured such weight Of taxation as now
presses down the people of this country.

~ AN OLD FALLACY EXPLODED

ME- AN OLD FALLACY EXPLODED.
Thirty or forty years ago 1t was the fashion to ad-
minister powerful purgatives as "spring meal,
cines.' Terrific doses Of salts and senna caiomel
and jalap, or glaube- salts, were given 70 all the
members of family, whether sick or well, by way
of preparing them for the warm weather In pros
pect This pernlcious custom Is nearly obsolete,
but there are some old Bourbons OF private life,
incapable alike of forgetting anything or learn
ing anything, who obsttnately cling 70 ~ SUI
Nothing could be more psrnfcious, more ulteTly
upphilosophical. than such an onslaught on tne
vigor and elasticity Of the system. In order 70
enable the physical structures to resist the ener-
waiting effects of spring damps and summer heats,
1t should be toned and reinforced not relaxed ana
weakened. The best medicine agent for this pur-
pose is Hostetters Stomach Bitters. It's effect Is
to tone the stomach and liver, gently relieve the
bowels from distractions, brace the nerves, I'M
prove the quality of the blood, stimulate the APP,
petite, and cheer the spirits. In this improFed
condition the organization Is capable Of resisting
unhealthy influences which would prostTate an
enfeebled system. A vigorous digestion is aoso-
lutely essential to health, and there Ia no Danger
of the stomach faltertng or falling In Its import
ant Office If this genial vegetable elixir 1s taken
regularly as stomachic. None Of the tonic t1nc-
lures or extracts will supply the place OF the
BITTERS, for the simple reason that they ope-
rate as astringentS only. In fact, In ordinary
practice five or six prescriptions would be re-
quired to produce separately the beneficial results
which are effected simultaneously and harnonl-
ously by this single specific.

1t is now said that as the upper floors OF
the War Department building in Washing
ton are considered unsafe, "care will be
taken to prevent" too many persons from
being upon them at any one time. Such
recklessness is inexcusable. At present,
whilst the horrible accident in Richmond Is
fresh in the memories of all such, care will
doubtless be taken. But how long will it
be before the public will again become
thoughtless on such subjects! If the floors
are unsafe they ought to be made safe at
once. 1t is highly probable that the weak
ness of the floor which fell here last week
was well known many years ago, but as it
was never intended to hold crowd the fact
soon escaped the minds of the people.

Governor ENGLISH, of Connecticut, was
inaugurated at New Haven on "Wednesday
last. In his message to the Legislature ne
denounces the fifteenth amendment as the
result Of fraud and force exercised by Con-
gress, yet counsels appropriate legislation
in view of the fact that it has been pro-
claimed and peacefully accepted as part of
the Federal Constitution. He is very Sc
we're in his denunciations of Radical legisla-
ton. He only fails to advise resistance to
the operation of the amendment because
Connecticut has not, he thinks, constitu-
tional right to resist. This is the unfortu-
nate condition of all the States, North and
South. They have surrendered all their
rights-the North in a war upon the South,
and the South because she could not help
herself. We have no tears to she'd over the
chains which Governor ENGLISH holds up
to our view. They are just such as he aided
In forging for us. In fact, he owes his pre-
sent prominence in the Democratic party to
his support of Mr.. L1NcoLN's war measures
when he was in Congress.
