conditions of life, There is a constant
dread of impending dangers, the Damo-
Giles sword of an imaginary evil is sus-
pened over, morbid sensitiyiness as to

This disease generally arises from an at

ted by the aid of rest and light diet, and
the use of remedy which will restore new

York Herald. This mans evidence
was In the main corroboratcd by
Attorney General Dyer, who find.

This is a little thing, however
compared with the wickcdnes'
that men stopped in rebellion
should DO investigating those who
whatever thcy may bo guilty Of

Investigations will however be
materially retarded owing to th,
rejection by tho Senate Of tn,

loudly condemn this action; bu
tho Confederate Congress must b
checked somehow.
