WASHINGTON, April 8, 1859.
DIR. FoRSHA-Sir: Before YOU start West
L can do no less than thank you again for
your excellent and successful treatment of
my son. He had been sick for many wee KS,
under the care of a medical gentleman OF
whom have high opinion, for his learn
ing, skill and experience, and yet he was
rot cured. His disease, l suppose without
certainly knowingly was brought on by
Overstraining, in artillery exercise, in very
hot weather, at West Point. When he
came into your hands, his breast bone (o,ao
side at least was protuded some two inches
beyond its proper position, attended with
difficulty of breathing and frequent pains.
By the application OF your medicines, and
your personal practice, in less than week
the bones were reduced to their proper Do
sitiOn, the pains ceased, the breathing be-
came easy and regular, and, as far as L can
judge, he is restored to his accustomed ro-
bust health and activity.
Besides this within my own knowledge, I
have heard of many instances of extraor-
binary cures effected by you, in cases Of
very dangerous wounds.
VeIy respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
EDWARD BATES,
Attorney General U. g.

One vote in New York city return

sembly, which made majority in the
Legislature of that State for Thomas
Jefferson, and gave him the vote of
New York, without which he could
not have been elected. The whole
policy of the United States during the
Jefferson and Madison administra:
tions, period of sixteen years, hung
on that one vote. One vote elected
Marcus Morton Governor of Massa

of 100000 One vote elected William
Allen in the Chillicothe district. to
Congress in the year 1884, and one
vote subsequently made him United
State Senator for six years afterwards.
The following case of the kind is still
more remarkable: In 1880, Dan.
Stone, of Cincinnati, was candidate
for the State Legislature. Walking
up Main street on the morning OF the
election, he overlook an acquaintance
going to the polls, who intended to
vote the opposition ticket. Stone So
licited his vote. We'll, Dan, you are
a pretty clever fellow l don't care if
do" That vote elected Stone, and
gave majority Of one in the leg
islature which made Thomas Ewing
United States Senator. Mr.. Ewing
vote on the question of confirming the
appointment of Martin Van Buren, as
Minister Plenipotentiary to Great
Britain enabled the Vice President to
give the casting vote against it, and
called Mr.. Van Buren, home. That
recall made Mr.. Van Buren, first, Vice
President, then President, and deter.
mined the general political policy Of
the country for four years. One vote
accomplished all this One vote sen,

and made him subsequently Senator.

At Toledo, Ohio, John Wynn, a
Roman Catholic, owned lot in
the Catholic cemetery. In it were
buried several members of his
family. His wife died last week.
and the priest refused to permit
her burial in the lot, as she was
non commitment. Wynn brought
suit in the Court of Common Pleas
there for an injunction to prevent
the priests interference with the
burial. The court, presided over
by Judge Cole, refused to grant
the injunction, and poor Wynn
will have to bury his wife some.

day of priestly rule! We thought
the one had come and the other
vanished; but not so.

The New York Evening Post,
which has been as unjust to the Re-
publican party as any newspaper in
the country, is evidently uneasy about
the Democratic tidal wave" 1t says
of Governor Tilden:
The tidal wave that has lifted
him on it's crest has also carried up
with it the same political elements,
and to degree the same personal ele-
ments, that constituted the following
of the Tammany ring. 1t is common
ly known that, public robbery apart,
the Tammany Hall Of 1874 is not ma
terially different from the Tammany
Hall. of 1870. The same machinery is
at work in the same way, and a SINH
lar oligarchy controls. Tweed was
not more powerful in his time as mas
ter of judges and coroners than Kelly
has proved himself within the last
two days, and the methods of the
latter-putting plundering aside-art
substantially the methods of thu
former.

The Rushville Republican of the
9Th, thus moralizes on the sliding
of Luther Benson:
What terrible warning the sad,
seemingly futile, efforts Of Luther
Benson to free himself from the terri
BILE demon of intemperance, should be
to hundreds Of young men who are
just starting out on what seems to them
a gay career of dissipation. 1t points
to day OF sorrow, hopeless despair
and gloom; to the utter desolation of
the heart and the ruin of their hopes
if they are not checked in their
thoughtless course

Our opponents will find time for
the flush of victory to cool in the
more than "a year which must elapse
before they can begin their pranks in
Congress, and in that same time the
people will be very likely to do some
serious thinking. The notion Of
Bourbon restoration is too absurd to
be entertained for moment, and
when the figures are footed up in the
fall of 1876 the balance will again be
found on the side of that party which
during the past eighteen years has
embodied the loftiest impulses of our
people. Bangor (Me.) Wing.

yesterday was a scene OF interest and novelty.
The room in which the exercises we're conducted,
ridiculously small for such an important event,
was crowded TO suffocatlon and handsomely deco
rated with nowers. For such an important nst-
tuition, Steinway Hail would be smail enough for
commencement exercises. There were flty-three
graduates, q very large number OF whom have J.
ready gained admission to the Normal School. The
examination few days ago showed an
unusual progress in all branc ches OF education, and
the graduates were extravagantly complmented
by the gentlemen who addressed them. To the
principal MISS Woodward, and the vice principal,
Miss sheldon much praise Is due for keeping the
class OF 1894 up TO the high standard OF excel

dead"
The deceased gentleman was sixty-four years OF
age He was born in Derby, England. in the year
1910, the of the late Francis Fox. NJ d. an emf
nent physician OF that city. He was apprenticed
to the medical profession at an early age,
his own brother being his master and In
structor A taste for engineering led him to
devote every spare moment Of his time to the
study OF mechanical science. The opening OF the
Manchester and Liverpool Railway produced such
an impression on his mind In favor Of his new
pursuit that he at once renqushed the study OF
medicine and became In due season an engineer.
He struggled on IN life as lecturer, a scientific
assistant and occasionally as a practical machin-
lst Robert Stephenson appointed him assist
ant engineer to the LONDON and Birming-
ham Railway Company. This was at the
time Of the commencement OF the work. Fox held
the appointment I'VE years. one year alter the lin e
was opened He joined In business with the late
Mr.. Bramah. They succeeded in establishing the
firm OF Bramah, Fox Company. The name Of
the nrm was changed on the retirement OF Mr..
Braman, to that OF Fox, Henderson 4 Company.
Mr.. Fox's greatest professional triumph was the
construction OF the building for the Great Exhibit
tion In Hyde Park, In 1851. He worked at
the drawings eighteen hours day during seven
continuous weeks. His genius and skill were
recognized and rewarded by the honor OF knight
hood. Sir Charles Fox constructed the Crystal
Palace at Sydenham, besides having executed
many extensive railway and other engineering
worss He was lately the senior partner OF the
firm OF Sir Charles Fox Sons, civil engineers.
