A Case in Point.

days ago t was heralded over the coun.
try in q semi official way-side Associ
ated Press dispatches-that President
Hayes had made the assertion that IL the
Democrats st the special session Of Con-
gress, to commence on the 18th, attemp
ted TO force Political legislation upon
the Appropriation Bills, he should con
slider it has duty tn veto even an Appro-
pristion Bill u circumvent such procee
ding. There is no good reason to be.
lieve that be was mt reported correctly,
and it ls the decided impression here
that he was. In view Of this menance
to Congress, history furnishes the cd
ium of comparison. On page lib nf Nc
Pnerson's Handbook OF Politics for
1874, considered one ofthe most accurate
works of the kind published the follow.
ing appears:
"A special to the New York Times,
March 2lst. 1874 purporting to indicate
the Presidents purpose to veto bill, the
President authorized the Associated
Press to publish the following. 23d
president Grant, in conversation with q
leading Western Republican Senator,
said the statement in q Washington dis
patch to New York paper, published
saturday morning, that any Legislation
tending 10 imitation must run the gsuut
let ofhis veto, was wholly without foun
dstion that he had conversed with no
one on the subject, and If he were 9
member OF Congress he shou'd regard an
|fntim Slion OF veto in advance of legs
la,ion as an nubecomipg threat by the
Executive, and should resent it,"
This scrap of history Mr.. Mcpherson
thought of sufficient importance to incor
porate in his politica! compilation. and il
Of service now merely to shaw thai Grant

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

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 fre-
quently extends to the top of the shoulr
der and is sometimes mistaken for
rfeumatism in the arm. The stomach
is isSat7ected with loss Of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are,
.costive, sometimes alternative with laxS
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation il
the back part. There is generally d
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hay-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold on
burning, and he complains Of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits Grc
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forth
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 ~
have been extensively dsranged.
