with the wishes Of majority Of the
representatives of the people it was
the duty Of the Senate to de-
clare the bill passed Had the
Senator who had resigned his
seat been opposed to the passage OF the
bill, the case would have been different,
and although the letter of the Consti'
tuition would still justify the DECLARE
ton that the bill had become a law by
virtue OF the consent OF majority Of
the then members of the Senate, yet
the spirit Of the Constitution would not
sanction the proceeding, and Judge
MAXWELL g remark would be just. VI
course, the wishes of an absent Senator
or Of the people who had no represen-
tatiye in the Senate, could not be legally
ascertained or given legal effect but
moraUv, the decision Of the Senate in
the Jefferson county case was as clearly
right, regarding the spirit OF the Con-
stitution and the true theory of repre-
sentative government, as it was in &C.
cordance with the strictest interpreta-
ton of the language Of the instrument
itself.
The bubble by which few disap-
pointed Radical politicians have been
enabled to put the people of Jefferson
county to great annoyance and expense
has now received its quietus. All the
trouble and cost and arrangement OF
business that the suit has created has
been incurred in cause that was, from
the beginning, certain to be lost; for
had the act passed Last winter been de-
clared invalid there could be no doubt
that next winter the act would be passed
beyond all possible controversy. In view
of all the circumstances OF the case; the
wrong of the original Radical act for
the removal Of the county-seat from
Charlestown the resistance toits return
after the Legislature had declared last
winter that it should be returned the
legal proceedings that have interrupted
the bushes. of the county and produced
Reorganization and served no good pur-
nose whatever; we fully agree with the
IntelHgsncsr in the declaration that "it
will be found by the people who pay
the expense that there is nothing more
costly than ignorance or dishonesty in
HIGH places" And we would also re-
specially remind the Radical press OF
the State, Governor STEVENSON, ION
Swan, G. P, ct id omne genus, that
Elsnsn is a majority of Ttcsnty one.

Medical Mistakes.

II took the faculty about thousand years
to discover that the best way to cure dis
ease was not to render the patient too weak
to contend with It. Within the last twenty
wears however, the whole system of med
ical practice has been changed for the bet
ter. In diseases or complaints caused by
the excessive heat, for instance, the doctors
no longer recommend the reduction OF the
inyalid's strength by Frustrating medicines
The vast success which has attended the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as arem-
edy for debility, has given even the most
prejudiced members of the old school an
insight into the only true and rational the
DRY OF cure. Cantharides, calomel and
overpowering doses OF opium, are now
among the obsolete nostrums of another
age. The lancet, once as much the legiti-
mate weapon of the physician as the sword
is Of the soldier, is seldom drawn from its
case. The principle Of life is no longer
drained from the veins by the quart, and
water-gruel for the strengthless invalid has
ceased to be considered an appropriate diet.
Vigor is the motto Of the rational members
Of the profession, and they understand, at
last, the value OF sterling vegetable tonic.
So, also, with the people at large; and with
out consulting medical men at all, they
have adopted the bitters as household
remedy, thereby economising both cash
and health.
Note the fact, that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is sold in bottles only, never in bulk
and that the abortions springing up in va
rious parts of the country, and sometimes
offered as substitutes for the great national
specific, ale all utterly worthless.

THERE is an uDfounded and silly re-
port going the rounds that Colonel B.
Wilson killed or seriously crippled a
man in this county. This is not true.
The fact is that he and one of his farm
hands had personal alteration in his
meadow and no serious damage was
done, lor the person so reported to have
been injured has been in town severa'
times during the last few days transact
ing his business as usual. The parties
had always been on the most friendly
and intimate terms up to the time of the
alteration. We suppose the difficulty
arose from some sudden provocatlon,
and as both are reasonable and respect
able gentlemen, We have no doubt the
parties will soon sustain their former
friendly relations. Conservative.

THE JEFFERSON COUNTY CASE.

We publish this morning the full
text of the decision pronounced in the
Supreme Court of Appeals in relation
to the somewhat noted Jefferson Coun-
ty case" Our readers are doubtless
familiar with the circumstances Of the
case in question, it having been made
the subject Of some newspaper discus
sion last spring and the occasion Of a
great many foolish and inappropriate
comments by the Radical press Of the
State. The decision sustains the con-
stitutionality Of the act of the Legisla-
ture removing the county seat of JefIer-
son county from Shepherdstown to
Charlestown, and reverses the decision
of the court below.
In the preparation of this opinion
Judge MAXWELL has displayed even
more than his usual care and research.
he seems to have given the case a most
thorough and exhaustive examination
and has only arrived at the conclusion
announced after a careful collation. and
review Of all the authorities" relating
to each point presented in the argu-
ment.
The Judge states in his opinion that
1.-THE representatives Of the people
should be governed by the spirit Of the
Constitution and in doubtful cases
should decline the exercise Of power.
For these reasons, with all respect. it
was the duty Of the Senate to have de-
clared the bill not passed" But not
withstauding it is fact that could not
be legally ascertained nor presented for
the consideration of the Court, it is NOR
ally certain that in the decision of the
Senate in this particular case both the
spirit and the letter of the Constitution
were preserved. Senator JOHNSON
views as to the merits of the bill under
discussion were we'll known and there
can be no reasonable doubt that had he
been present and member of the Sen
ate when the vote was taken, the bill
would have received the twelve affirma
tive votes necessary to constitute ma,
iority of twenty-five. There was in
this case therefore no departure from
"the true theory Of representative gov
eminent" and we submit, with all re
spect, that the bill having received TIT
assent of majority of the members o
the Senate and being in accordance

THESE laws imposing disabilities
upon rebels and enemies, which have
been sustained by the Court Of Appeals,
were war measures. and sustained by
the Court as such. "-IatelHqencer.
That is rather too thin" The war
closed in April, 1865, and these so,
called war measures" were nearly all
adopted almost a year later. The Reg
istration act was passed February %,
1866. The test oath for Teachers was
adopted on the same day, February
&c, 1866. The test oath for Attorneys
was passed on the 18th of February,

why were they not adopted during the
continuance of the war and why were
they enforced after the war was over :?

what chance of being can we trace the

and Noah despaired altogether of safety,
the serpent promised to help him out ofhis
mishnp If he would engage to feed him
upon human flesh after the deluge had

and the SERPENT, coiling himself up, drove
his body into the fracture and stopped tho
leak. When the pluvious element was
appeased, and all were making their way
out Of the ark, the serpent insisted on the
fulfllinent of the pledge he had received
but Noah, by Gabriel's advice, committed
the serpent to the flames, and, scattered

1tD- The most touching and beautiful
feature Of Phebe Cary's altogether besuti-
full life was her unwsvering love for Der
sister, which grew stronger and stronger
as the years Of their lives advanced, and
which survived death itself unimpsired
Alice was apparently ever in her thoughts
mot that the meditations concerning hor
departed friend and sister were OF moo
dy or unreconciled nature, for, on the
contrary, she always pictured, her as en-
joyng the happiest existence possible.
But her heart WAS buried in her sisters
grave; she could not live without her, .
and her disease was doubtless - broken
heart" After Alice's funeral she threw
open the windows Of the room which had
been the scene Of her sufferipg,, and Ailed
It with flowers (which Alice so loved. "
The evening was then spent in raading z
her sisters poems, and when the time for
separation came she declined all offers OF
compa nionship and preferred to sleep az
she had always done-alonc, with the door
open between hers and her suter's room.
Her craving for the presence Of her friends
was the most remarkable feature Of her
illness, and her droll humor which had 20
often shone forth brilliantly in former
years could not be restrained even on her
death bed. She expended it mainly on the
doctor, who was quite nonplussed by her
case and knew no: what to do for her.
