Hasty Consumption Cured by Fello w

CARBoNEAR, NEWFOUNDLAND, Jan. 3, 1871.
Mr.. JAMES l. FELLOWS,
DEAR SIR came to this country in May, 1869.
| found country man Of mine laboring under some
affection of the lungs. recommended your Syr-
up, tried at the Druggists in Harbor Grace, but
they thought was inventing the name at their
expense. However in April, 1870, Mr.. Edgar
Joyce rapidly wasted away with every symptom of
quick consumption, so that he was unable to walk
across the room, having no appetite, pains in the
left side, nervous system unstrung, dry hacking
cough, &C. Fortunately learned that your Syr-
up could be obtained at Mr.. Dearin's in St. Johns
and Immediately procured some, Showed one to
w. II. Thompson, who ordered supply from you
at once.) This was Tuesday afternoon; at night
he took the prescribed dose, and in the morning
he described the very results notified on the wrap
per. His appetite soon began to return, and vo
rscious one 1t was, too; the dry, hacking cough
changed into loose but violent attacks, finally dis
appearing altogether; pains left his side. his hand
resumed its usual steadness, and before he finished
day not m ore healthy person is to be found on
our streets; al it is the opinion Of all, had he
not been fortunate in getting your valuable Syrup
Of Hypophosphtes, he would now be in his grave.
He happened to be in w. ii. Thompson's the
day your first shipment arrived, and took at once
four bottles to the Labrador, which he was very
anxious to do, but had no occasion TO use them
himself No other medicine will he ever prescribe,
recommend or give but yours.
also recommended it to another consumptive.
but have not heard from him since, as he lives in
distant part of the Island. Hoping this will give
you some encouragement, l remain yours, &C.,

SENATE.
Washington, May G.
Upon re-assembng Mr. Hoar said the House
demanded that w. w. Belknap, for high crimes
and misdeaLors, he forever disqualified for hold
ing or enjoy ing any office of honor, trust profit
under the United States. For the purposes of
the present argument the guilt of the defendant
was admitted. He met the demand by denial of
the authority of the House to impeach, aud Of
the Senate to try him under whatever circum-
stances; that the party accused had laid down his
office. The issue made up was simple aid
narrow one. The fame of the constitution in
tended impeachment to be a protection to the peo-
pie against,the usurpatlon OF the executive power,
and against official corruption.
Mr.. Ioar traced the history of impeachment,
both in England and in this country, and argued
that it clear proof OF the value of impeach-
ment that it had been adopted in all the State
constitutions, In fact, the constitution of the
United States had probably taken the constitution
of Virginia as its model in the framing of that
provision, and the Virginia constitution expressly
provided that government Official could be I'M
peached after he had left office The jurisdiction
of the Senate, too, was national one, and extend
ed only to abuses of national official trusts.
MIR. Hoar continued his argument at length,
citing different cases. lie concluded his argument
at 5 O'clock.
