Hea1thfu1 Stimulation,

Difusible stimulants, provided they be absolute
~ pure are among the most useful medicin al
agents employed by physicians. When the tone of
the system is lowered by the depressing influences
OF disease, or there is an Inherent want vigor in
t1e constitution, they serve TO counterfeit weaken
ing tendencies, and cheer the mind of the despond-
ing Invalid. But when, as in the Of Hostel
ter Btters they possess tonic and alternative prop
erties, their effects are rendered permanent, and
they accomplish trebly beneficial result. The
Bitlers not only relieve nervous debility and mem
tai depression by their BEAUTIFULLY stmulatve ac-
ton, but infuse abiding vgor into the depleted
tem and rectify those internal disturbances which
are the re causes of weakness. The purity and
the wholesomeness of the alcoholic basis of the
Bitters greatly increases the efficacy OF their bo.an-
ic ingredient, n fact which the completeness of
their curative effects sufficiently demonstrates.

Com mission.

The Constitutional Commission began the ses-
SIGN promptly yesterday morning, the President,
Messrs. Gilbert, Haines, Kimba, Madigan Pike
andRust being present. Ire consideration of the
resolve relative to the apportionment of represen"
tatves offered by Mr.. Gilbert, was resumed, but
after an extened discussion, the following was
substituted:
RESOLVED, That it is not cxpedient TO change
the constitution in relation to the apportionment
of representatives to counties and that section of
the first part Of article of the constitution ought
to be wholly abrogated and mere section rela
tive to the apportionment Of representatives be
substituted therefor.
The above section is the one fixing the appor-
tonment of representatives. After considerable
discussion the resolve was passed, afterwards re-
considered and voted down with the understand
ing that it might be called upin full meeting.
Resolves were passed to the effect that it is in
expedieut to change the constitution relative to
the election Of sheritfs and county attorneys that
it is expedient to abolish the Office of Land Agent
and transferring the remaining business of the office
to the treasury department.
The President and Messrs. Haines and Pike
were appointed committee to draw a constitu-
tional provision in accordance with the following
resolve:
Resolved: Corporations may be formed under
general laws but shall not be created by special
acts, except for municipal purposes, and in cases
where in the judgment Of the Legislature the OBJ
jecs of the corporation cannot be obtained under
general laws.
Mr.. Haines laid on the table resolution look
ing to minority representation in case, where
more than one officer Of the same kind is to be
chosen.
Mr.. Gilbert offered resolution testing the
sense of the Commission on the expediency Of not
excluding paupers Of certain class from the right
Of suffrage which was lost
Mr.. Haines laid upon the table proposition for
an amendment to the constitution allowing the
Governor to remove sheriffs and county attorneys,
when charges are made against them. The re-
solve also specifies that the accused shall have
copy Ct the charges and the opportunity of being
heard in such case.
The above is the provision of the New York
constitution, and the indication that the mem
bers present unanimously favored it, but it will
not be acted on until all of the commission are
present.
Propositions to the effect that municipal judges
and registers Of probate shall be appointed by the
Governor were voted down.
