Reception of the Message.

II seems to be the general verdict, both
in this city and in Washington, that the
Presidents Message is failure, If Judged
BY any influence it is likely to exert on
the legislation Of this session. This re-
suits partly from the impracticabilty Of
the most important Of his recommends
tions and partly from the tone he as
Message is addressed. The evident at
tempt to cast upon Congress the respon-
sibility for the shortcomings and failures
which have brought the administration
into discredit is not well received by the
members OF that body, who came togeth-
er In no very amible temper toward the
President: He reminds Congress that
he invited their action on the Louisiana
case last winter and that they treated
they acted and solved the difficulty they
would have relieved him from an odious
responsibility and might have ended the
Louisiana troubles instead of leaving
them to plague the President and dam
age the party. But, if Congress were
disposed to retort, it might tell the Pres
ident that he got himself into the Louis
lana scrape by his own action, without
their advice, and that after he had crea-
on his swn responsibility he had no right
left to bear the consequences. If he had
not chosen to intermeddle the McEnery
government would have been peaceably
installed, and the State have escaped the
turmoil and the republican party the
scandal of these two years.
The President seems also to charge
Congress with the failure Of civil service
| reform, and in this part Of the Message
he gives away to sharpness of tone
1 ~ dOac a hof otI Ino
| umept. He threatens to abandon the
| experiment unless Congress comes at last
to his relief. Here, again, Congress
| might retort upon him that he was q vol
| pnteer i'll this business; that, in adopting
| the civil service rules, he acted on his
own mere discretion; that if law Of Con-
gress was necessary to make the rules ef-
| fective he should haue foreseen that ne
| cessity, have recommended suitable leg
islation at the outset and not have begun
the experiment until the conditions ex-
listed for making it successful. The Pres.
| ident is put by his rather ill-tempered
threat in this dilemma: If law OF Con-
gress was necessary he should not have
started without it; if Executive disere-
tion was sufficient there is no excuse for
impetuously abandoning the reform
Had it succeeded he would have taken
the sole credit, and since it has failed
l Nohsicn niay ieusSouhpiy deCliue hliy
part of the b.ame. Be this as it may, the
temper he exhibits toward Congress is
not calculated to secure its indulgent
judgement of the Message.
1t must be further borne in mind that
the Congress to which this Message is ad
dressed is the same Congress whose mo-
Ijority he confronted and humiliated by
his veto last spring. They silently swal-
lowed their indignation and chagrin lest
the party should be weakened by an open
breach with the President.

The Safe Burglary.

Attorney General Williams to-day sent
a communication to the Judge. OF the
Criminal Court, informing him that the
Government has abandoned the safe
burglary cases under the late Indictment,
which has been pronounced nulhty by
the Supreme Court of the District of Col
umbia, and the Attorney General SO re-
garding it, owing to the illegal constitu-
ton Of the Grand Jury.
The Judge, after directing the COM
munication to be placed on file, ordered
a nolle prosequi to be entered in these
cases, and also discharged the bail OF the
defendants Harrington, Whitley, and
Williams. No further action will be ta-
ken at present. 80,
The abandonment of the cases is with
reference only to the nullity of the late
Indictment, and docs not affect the cause
of action. as the same parties can be again
indicted for the alleged otfense.

BLuNpERINa LAw-MAKERs.-Owing
to the defects in the revised laws of
New Jersey, it is claimed that they
cannot go into effect on the first OF
January, 1875, as prescribed therein,
1t seems that the work of the commit
tee of revision was duly submitted to
the Legislature, but when the time
came to put the laws in the hands OF
the State printer it was ascertained
that certain of them had, by oversight
of the Senate, failed to pass that body
and until the defect is supplied the
State will be without law on some
subjects after January, 1873, the date
on which the revised laws were to go
into effect. An extra session to RENE.
DIV the defect is talked of, but to add
to the perplexity of the situation the
president Of the Senate and speaker OF
the House have just started with an
excursion for the Bermudas. They
are expected back, however, in about
ten days, and the Governor can give
the Legislature. u chance to avert the
consequences of its stupidity.

LIVER AND BLOOD DISEASES
BY R. '. FIERCE, N, D.


A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and a half pounds OF bile, which con.
talns q great amount OF waste material
taken from the blood. When the liver
becomes torpid or congested, it fails to
eliminate this vast amount OF noxious
substance, which, therefore, remains 10
poison the blood, and be conveyed 10
every part OF the system. What must be
the condition Of the blood when it is re-
ceivtng and retaining each day two and a
halt pounds OF poison? Nature tries TO
work of this poison through other chan
nels and organs-the kidneys; lungs, skin,
ETC., but these organs become oyer.taxed
in performing this labor in addition to
their natural functions, and cannot long
withstand the pressure, but become vari-
ouSly diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center OF all vitality, is unduly stimulated
oy the unhealthy blood, which passes to
1t from the heart, and il fails, TO perform
its office BEAUTIFULLY. Hence the symp-
toms Of bile poisoning, which are dullness,
headache, incapacity to keep the mind on
any subject, impairment Of memory,
dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy
torebodings, and irritability Of temper.
The blood itself being diseased, as It
forms the sweat upon the surface OF the
skin, 1t Is so irritating and poisonous that
1t produces discolored brown spots,
pimples, blOtches, and other eruptions,
sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous Ia.
mors. The stomach, bowels and other
organs cannot escape becoming affected,
sooner or later, and we have as the result,
costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia,
diarrhGa. Other symptoms arc common,
as bitter or bad taste in mouth, internal
heat, palpitation, teasing cough, unsteady
appetite, choking sensation in throat,
bloating Of stomach, pain in sides or about
shoulders or back, GOODNESS Of extremities,
etc etc. Only few Of the above symp-
toms are likely to be present in any case
at one time. The liver being the great
depurating or blood cleansing organ Of the
system-set this great "housekeeper Of
our health" at work, and the foul corrup.
lions, which gender in the blood, and rot
out, as Il were, the machinery Of life, are
gradually expelled from the system. For
this purpose DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery with very small doses daily of
Dr.. PierCe's Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
are pre'eminently the articles needed.
They cure every kind OF humor, from the
worst scrofula TO the common pimple,
blotch or eruption. Great eating ulcers
kindly heal under their mighty curative
influence. Virulent blood poIsons that
lurk in the system are by them robbed Of
their terrors, and by their perseyering
and somewhat protracted use the most
tainted systems may be completely reno
waited and built up anew. Enlarged
glands, tumors and swellings dwindle
away and disappear under the influence
oil these great resolyents. deodsw&w

One Way Of Looking at IL.

A lady Of this city well known for her
devotion to the temperance cause, and
also for her firm belief in the existence
and trustworthiness OF Spiritual COM
munications, has handed us copy Of the
"Religio' Philosophical Journal" publish.
ed at Chicago, in which there Is a medi.
mistic explanation Of the influence ex.
erted by the prayers Of the women in the
present temperance crusade. The me.
dium was asked by person present at
the seance 10 explain "the great changes
that are being wroght in direct answer to
petitions" The answer was that
When q single individual or combined
number Of persons, truly, honestly and
earnestly pray, or in other words desire,
have aspiration for thing IA high aspI-
ration, that flows out OF the spiritual
BRAIN, lor any special object upon any
other individual upon whom they Couse-
crate the power, their efforts are most as.
suredIy felt. That is law of spiritual
life 1t Is founded upon the natural laws
Of Psychology; is as much part Of Gods
method in the universe, as any other regu
lar activity. There is nothing special or
miraculous whatever in il, and yet
il Is one Of the divinest truths. This law
OF prayer for special objects, having a
foundation In natural law, should be used
for all legitimate, truthful, charitable, and
beautiful purposes. But 1t can be used
for wicked and diabolical purposes,
though II is employed in this way by only
a very small portion oil persons. You
should bend in this way all the sympa-
thetlC energies of your souls, TO making
the world better, to lifting human souls
out Of their wrong, 10 draw them from
the paths that must bring them ultimately
into sorrow and suffering. This is the
beautiful, God.like use Of prayer.
OFF these ladies' should retire TO
their closets, and pray IN secret, could il
have any effect upon the rumseller ?
Alt would not have that immediate
effect that 1t does by their presence, be.
cause all psychological activities take
place most torcibly when persons are near
together. II they should, each and all,
pray simultaneously for his conversion, il
would affect him, yet not sufficiently, per.
haps, TO produce any marked change in
his life; yet 1t would reach and affect bis
spiritual state. Their coming together
however, and coming closely into his
presence, bringing him into connection
with them through these prayers, Is the
most effective method as every psychOlo'
gIcal operator knows.

Present Aspects of the Temperance
Movement.

From the N. Y. Tribune Of Monday
The Temperance Crusade is no longer
the sensation Of the day in the news
papers, but II continues TO appear mat
lei Of absorbing Importance 10 the women
engaged in 1t, and of practical interest 10
the men whose business It so materially
Affects. There is no evidence that the
women are weary in their well doing.
The number Of saloons closed has in
creased from day to day until 1t now ex-
ceeds thousand, and VIC look IN vain for
an instance in which the women after
fairly beginning battle have fed the field
Their faith Is Of the kind that Is said 10
remove mountains. II hesitates not TO al.
tack the enemy whether he be strongly
inrenched in 5000 Grog.shops as in Gin
cnnati, or supported by an angry rabble
NY in Cleveland. An array Of superior
numbers in opposition serves only 10 call
Tor more thorough organization and
greater perseverance, on the part Of the
Crusaders. Persecution arouses the spirit
oImartyrdom and ELECTS sympathy for the
prosecuted from unexpected quarters. A
single victory encourages o praying band
10 weeks oil more earnest and devoted
prayer and labor. But . speedy victory
does not seem necessary 10 keep the fire
Of faith sglow. Weeks may pass without
surrender, yet the women keep on with
patience which enlists the sympathy Of
the most careless spectator and assures
me harassed liquor. dealer that, though
inc DAY OF his capitulation may be dis
liant. II must Inevitably come.
There IS one weak point, however, In the
line OF advance. It Is more and more an.
parent that this mode Of warfare cannot
be successful in large cities without modi.
locations not yet devised. In DAYTON,
where the work was begun under (ayora'
bic auspices a month ago, only four sur-
renders Of saloon'keepers have taken
place. Weeks OF self.denying and per
sistent labor in Columbus have brough,
forth disappolntingly small results, In
Cincinnati, three or four, possibly more
victories have been gained; but this pro-
gress is wonderfully disproportionatc tC
the amount Of work It has cost. In WOr.
ceater, no triumphs Of consequence are
visible. Even in Xenia, where the most
exciting scenes Of the campaign were wit
nessed, the prediction OF bio Lewis, thai
within four weeks the thirstiest man IL
The city must 90 dry or drink cold water, ;
IS unlultlled. In the face Of these facts
The candid friend Of Temperance. II moi
The enthusiastic Crusader, must admit
that some new method must be found tC
