Congress and not the President is the COM
mander-in-chief of the army; that the
President is simply the executive officer of
Congress, bound to obey the laws for the
government of the army that may be en-
acted, ard only so far as he is authorized by
law can he exercise the functions of COM
mander-in-chief. If he possessed the broad
powers claimed for him by the Republicans,
he would be practically superior to control
might declare war, grant letters of marque,
invade State or municipality at pleasure,
and to suppress instructions and repel in
vasions without authority from the Congress
of the nation. Such powers are specially
reserved by the constitution to Congress-,
and if diverted and vested in the President
would give that official a dangerous power,
liable at any time to gross abuse, and con-
tinually menacing the liberty of the citizen.
Any intelligent reader of the constitution
must be convinced that the interpre-
tation of the Presidents powers as
given by Mr.. Springer is the cor
rect one. To grant him the privilege
of absolute control over the army-to order
the military here or there at his caprice or
the caprice of his party, would amount to an
abdication of the powers of Congress. AS
we'll might a subordinate employee in mer-
camille house claim the power to control the
business of his chief Independent of or in
opposition to the wishes of that person.
The powers of the Preaident are most
clearly defined by the constitution. He is
created commander in-chief of the army,
but his rights in that as we'll as in all other
respects are circumscribed by the powers
delegated to Congress. Congress can create
or it can abolish an army as to it may seem
| fit. Without authority of Congress the army
cannot be paid. To Congress alone is re-
served the power to declare war and to give
employment to the army. It is very evident,
therefore, that the true intent of the con,
stitution was to make Congress commander
in-chief of the army, while the President
was the nominal head of that Organization
tle figure head, executing the laws, but not
acting Independently of them.
This being taken as the correct interpre-
tation of the constitutional no other in
depreciation is possible to any intelligent
reader of that instrument is competent
for Congress to prescribe what duties the
military forces of the government shall per-
form. It can declare that troops shall OF
shall not be stationed at any given point, and
in the past history of the government it has
exercised this right unquestioned. But now
when partisan advantage can be obtained
by giving to the President arbitrary and I'M
heard-of powers, it is g. ght to make i,
appear that the purpose of Congress is to
abridge the legitimate authority of the Presi
dent. Such is not the case. He will con
tinue to be, as his predecessors have been
the commander in-chief of the army. in.
vested with all the powers of such an officer.
But he will not possess any "1tra-constitu.
tional authority, but must, as his predeces-
sors have, conform to the constitution anc
the laws. This IS the whole meaning of the
proposed amendments.

THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

The ruling of Mr.. Springer, the speaker
pro tenn. of the House, during the debate on
Saturday on the army bill, was of great inn
portance, as it was evidently carefully con-
eidered and represents fully the matured
policy of the Democratic party as regards
the power of Congress to regulate the dispo-
sition of the army. The point was raised
that the President being, under the constitu-
ton, the commander-in. chief of the army,
it was not competent for Congress to inter-
fere with his powers by forbidding him from
sending troops to the polls on election day
to preserve the peace. In deciding the point
Mr.. Springer said:
Congress creates the army, it provides its
support, it makes rules for it's government, and
although the President is by the constitution
the commander-in- chief of the army, Congress
makes all laws necessary and proper for carry
ing into execution the powers vested in him az
such commander. Congress may, therefore, fix
the places where the troops may or may not be
stationed, and may prohibit the President and
all civil and military officers from using the
army for any purpose deemed improper, and
from interfering with the freedom Of elections,
or from doing any acts dangerous to the iber-
ties of the people,

LOSS Of vital Force.

As is well known, the tendency
in all acute or chronic forms OF
disease is towards debility and loss OF
vital force, which always retards con-
valescence, and renders a return to
health uncertain or impossible. After
medicine has done its work of breaking
the disease, and the physician leaves,
AZ he must, to nature the business OF
r.pair and restoration, he too often
finds til at nature acts so feehly, and
builds again SO slowly, that the period
of convalescence is frequently prolonged
through many weary months, while IN
many cases the old vitality is never re-
stored, and the patient sinks into q
state of permanent invalidism. 10 meet
this condition OF low vitality, the
compound Oxvgen," which acts df
rectly on the great nervous centre, ren
dering them more efficient, vigorous

more and more of the vital forces, wheel
