The Attitude of the senate.

A Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times, in special to that paper
says:
In the fight that is to be made by Sen
ator Copkling and his friends upon certain
Objectionable appointments of the presi-
dent it is a matter of interest to know
what will be the position assumed by the
democratic senator's A leading demo.
cratic senator said to the Times correspon
dent to-day that. 10 his opinion, the action
of his colleagues would be largely deter
mined By that of the republicans 10 the
consideration of the cases of Eustls and
Spofford. Should the republicans desire
to throw unwarrantable obstacles in the
way of the disposal of these cases. then
the democratic senators propose to confirm
those Objectionable appointments. feeling
that there are enough senators among the
republicans who would unite with them to
beat Senator Conkling. The democrats dc
not feel specially interested in the fight
among the republicans upon the subject oil
these appointments, except IN so far as il
can be used as a means to strengthen
themselves The Senate has at any time
power to take the consideration of any
appointment from any committee by q
majority vote, and by the same majority
vote could confirm the appointment sc
taken from the committee. IF the demo.
Gratis are able to make terms of this SORT
so as to admit Spoford and Eustis then the
republican majority will be reduced to one
Should Butler be admitted from South
Carolina the sides would be equally divided
This calculation however, places Senator
Davis on the democratic side, as it is un-
derstood by the democratic senators that
Senator Davis, while occupying an indie
pendent position, is naturally more il
sympathy with them than with the repub-
licans. At least it will give him very
prominent position, inasmuch as he viii
virtually hold the balance Of power il
many instances and it is deemed especially
fortunate that this power should be held
BY man of such high character and
judicial mind.

NATURES TRIUMPH Nature, in her
luxuriance, has clothed the hills and the
dales with herb and shrub, whose occult
natures merely require the earnest appli-
cation of the scientific aud inquiring mind
to reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world kindly providence
has placed healing for all nations. The
only specifies for any disease yet discovered
are vegetable IN their nature, and while
quinine has been accepted as the only re-
medy for one class. the extract of the bu
chu plant is rapidly taking It's place as SOW
ereign remedy for other Of those ills afiici
humanity. The type Of disease to which
it is remedial Is broad one, and it's mani
festatlons are legion. but it may be started
in general terms that all diseases of the
urinary organs. whether caused By climate,
Iirregularity. Or self-generated, submit ut
once to the operation of its power. Helm
holds Buchu for all such complaints. is the
result OF long research, and is acknowledg-
ed superior to nil other preparations.

they place Mr.. Crompton's name on the

NArHAN1EL BELcHER, p. M.
He Convicts the Union of Deliberate
Lying.

A few days ago the Union contained an
article rejecting upon the honesty of Mr..
Porter, and charging him with being in
collision with a party of money sharks
who had formed a ring" for the purchase
of lands at the annual tax sales The
ARGUS charged that the author of the
outrage was Nathaniel Belcher, Of Port
Byron, who was present at the last sale,
and who probably did not get as many
''tat slices" of the tax sale pie" as he
would have liked In the Union of Sun
day morning, however, Mr.. Belcher adj
mits having furnished certain information
to that paper, but denies 10 the following
words, that he ever charged Mr.. Porter
with being a member of the Unions i'm
aginary ring"
II am a correspondent of the Union, and
its editors wrote to me for some of the
facts, which | gave them, not in com.
munication but in a letter, and so far as
Mr.. Porter tods concerned I dre,o 1t Uerg
mildly. I said nothing of Mr.. P0rte'
DOING prOng. accused him Of ne
COLLISION aoith the tar bidders.
1t will thus be seen that the Who'll,
charge of dishonesty made By the Unio'
was an invention of the muddled brain o
the editor with seven years experience,
or "the elegant with the umbrella" TIL
attempt of that paper to injure the charaC
ter of Mr.. Porter will only make him vote
to-morrow-and after the election Mr.
Crompton will find that for sanctionin
such charges it will only result in his dc

The mRnna and sinawr

Of our country have often-especially
about election time--beeu made the sub
ject of laudation; but when those useful
parts of the human structure become too
visible in consequence of leannessa they
can scarcely be called graceful The eye
delights not to dwell upon angles and
ridges in either man or woman. Moreover,
extreme emaciaii0n is sign of imperfect
digestion aud consequent poverty OF the
blood. Both these evils are remedied by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which rem
der digestion an assimilation certainties,
in consequence of which the blood acquires
richness and the body substance. Thus
are the hollow places filled up and the
angles rounded off. Through the in
strumentality of this peerless aid to di.
gestiou and promoter of physical vel
being, the body rapidly gains in vigor,
color returns to the hollow cheek, the
appetite improves, nervous symptoms
vanish, and healthful impetus is given tC
every vital function.

Something OF Interest to Peda-
gogues.


On Friday last, Hon. S. NJ. Etter, su-
perintendent Of public instruction,
received letter from the superintendent
of schools of Wayne county, which says
that pupil, boy l3 years of age, in a
school 10 that county, had failed to learn
and recite a grammar lesson. and for the
negligence was ordered by his teacher to
take off his coat and be whipped. He
refused. and was expelled from the school.
He desires to know il the action is legal
10 reply Superintendent Etter decides:
''TEe law will not sustain teacher in Sc
barbarous an act as compelling pupil tc
take off his coat and be whipped. Such
an act would subject teacher to prosecu-
ton, and any court would impose a fine,
The supreme court has decided that a
pupil cannot be expelled except for incor-
rigibIe bad conduct, and then where all
other means have failed. Teachers have
undoubted right to infIict d reasonable
punishment for bad conduct, bat they have
no right either morally or legally. to inflicI
inhuman or barbarOus punishment, and q
teac-er who cannot create an interest on
the side Of good order and good lessons
without resorting to such means is unfit
for the schoolroom.

The Paris Exposition.

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the
House, were to have held meeting to-
day to take some definite action in refer
ence to the representation of this country
at the Paris exposition. On Saturday an
Internal communication from Secretary
Evarts was made through a member of the
committee, Mr., Williams. of Wisconsin,
giving the secretary views on the subject
OF representation at the exposition. In
this commuuication.th secretary favors an
appropriation of $4,000. $4,000 less
than that provided for by Mr.. Hewitt's
bill. His recommendations were to have
occupied the attention of the committee
to-day, when Hewitt's bill was to have
been taken up.
The plan set forth in this bill is pretty
much the same as that which will be pro-
posed by the secretary. 1t provides for
the appointment of commissioner general
at salary of $1,000 for the entire time
he shall fill the Office; also nine other
commissioners, at a salary of $1,000.
and a number of honorary commits
sloners, all to be appointed by the
president in consultation with the secretary
of state. Certain vessels of the govern
ment will be set apart for the use of
exhibitors to convey their articles to the
exposition. A gentleman representing
the Paris exposition, who has been on the
ground was before the committee Saturday
to ask that an appropriation might be
made aud the country largely represented.
He said the trustees of the exposition had
already raised large amount for putting
up buildings which were 10 active pro-
gress now. A very large space had been
assigned to the United States, and vacant
ground reserved which could be occupied
hereafter if the extent of our representa-.
ton demanded it. He asked for an ap
. preparation in addition to that already
appropriated by the French government
Several other gentlemen were before the
committee representing various interests
, each asking for certain appropriation Il
