In 1862 he deplorcd the necessity
which called the greenbacks into exist

a very brief one In bis Toledo speech
last Fall, he proclaimed the greenback to
be the currency of the future, and insist
ed upon perpetua,ing them for all time
In 1862 he consented to the retirement
of the greenbacks by funding them into
six per cent bonds, and in 1853 he Joined
the opponents OF this system, aud put
an end to the funding.
Before the election Of 1868 be wrote
letter in which he declared that the 70:
we're payable in greenbacks, and that to
pay them in coin was downright robbie
~. After that election he voted tor
resolution pledging the nation to pay

He condemned Secretary McCULLouaH

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and Is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss Of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with Lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the. back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with a painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
