The Foremost Tonic Of The Are.

Taking into consideration the character OF its
vouchers. the history of its and its immense
annual sales, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be
fairly entitled the Foremost Tonic OF the Age 1t is
OF only tonic but constitutional and local alter
alive, and its tendency is to substitute healthy for
diseased action throughout the system. If the
stomach is feeble and torpid 1t produces yitaizing
impression upon its mucuous tissues. No sooner
has the dyspeptic swallowed dose 1t of than he
knows by his sensations that his stomach has re
ceyed an accession of yigor. 1t increases the de-
sire for food and the ability to digest and assimi
late it. If the liver is derect it improves the con-
dition of the organ and imparts to 1t a new and
healthful impulse. The bowels being distracted it
promotes the flow Of bile into the intestinal canal
and thereby relieves them and re-establshes their
natural action. Its effect upon the brain the nerves
and the kidney is equally salutsry, In short, it
n,es alters, and reg ulates the whole system,

APPOINTING AND REMOVING POLICE
MEN
The Power and Duty Of the Council.

An ordinance OF this city, passed IN 1851,
and never altered or repealed, declares
that
''The CITY COUNCIL, shall from time
to time, upon the recommendation of the
Mayor, APPOINT suitable persons and as
may as may by the Council be deemed
necessary, to be watchmen, or as we
generally call them, policemen.
Every administration has neglected to
assert its rightful power and authority, un-
der this law, and tried to shirk it off upon
the Mayor and Marshal, by the passage of
mere vote or resolution directing them
to make these appointments-which was
all wrong. But in the case of the present
administration no such cote aoas ever passed!
and it was the duty whether such vote
had been passed or mott of the Mayor to
submit all appointments to the Council.
This he has not done in the case OF police
men.
Now that this month is closed, and the
Council meets on Monday, it is the duty of
the Mayor to submit the names of all the
policemen to the Council for confirmation
except the Marshal and Deputy, which
have been submitted and confirmed, and
it is the duty Of the Council to act on each
separately, by yeas and nays, and it re-
quires six votes to confirm any of them.
| POWER OF REMOVAL.
The City Charter of this city, page Al,
provides as follows:
q 6. ANY person, elected or appointed
TO any office, may be removed from such
Office by a vote of too thirds of all the AZ
de,naen authorized By laao to be elected
But no officer shall be removed except for
good cause, nor unless first furnished with
the charges against him, and heard in his
defence And the City Council shall have
power 10 compel the attendance of witness
SEES and the production of papers, when
necessary for the purpose of such trial,
and shall proceed within ten days to hear
and determine upon the merits of the case,
and if such officer shall neglect to appear
and answer to such charge, then the City
Council may declare the Office vacant. Pro
vided this action shall not be deemed to
apply to any officer appointed by the City
Council; SUCH OFFICER MAY BE RE-
MOVED AT ANY TIME by vote of
two thirds as aforesaid in their discretion !;
but any officer may be suspended until the
disposition of charges when preferred.
By this it will be seen that the Council
has the power to remove, at any time, with
out notice or trial, any officer required to be
appointed on recommendation of the may
or by the Council Among this number are
watchmen. But it requires seven votes to
remove any such officer And we under
stand that Alderman Bell will, at the meet
ing on Monday, unless the Mayor removes
Roatch before that time, or he resigns,
bring his case before the Council, and call
for the yeas and nays on a motion for his
removal The charges against him are SO
generally believed to be true that the pub
lie will watch the proceedings with no little
interest, to see who votes to keep him in
Office, or absents himself in order to dodge
the question
