Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the l edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; 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 1t frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and IS sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen. eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head IS troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally considerable loss of mem- ory, accompanied with painful sem sation of having left undone some thing 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 prickly sensa- ton of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer- else would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try 1t. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

and started to seek work and reached Mrs.

my horror missed my pocket book. I started
back to the depot and my trunk was gone. As
far as what said at Mrs. Hirst's about the

THE SENATE.

There were many vacant seats in the
Senate chamber yesterday morning and but
little business of Importance was transacted.
The bill creating a farmers board of trade
was lost, and the vote reconsidered, and it
will probably pass with a fuller attendance
of Senators. The bill appropriating money
for State institutions was laid aside, awaiting
action upon the bill recognizing the insane
asylum. Senator Williams temperance bill
was attached to the calendar as special
order, and as that measure was approached
the autoschediastical manner with which
seats were emptied was ludicrous to behold.
The bill was not to have come up yesterday,
anyhow, and Mr.. Williams enjoyed the joke
hugely in his quiet way.
The bill for the reorganization of the in
sane asylums was the special order for the
afternoon, and its discussion consumed al
most the entire session, not that any one op-
posed the bill, but in making amendments
rendering its provisions more definite, and
also with the view of having the new trustees
appointed in time to be confirmed by the
present Senate. It was then unanimously
recommended to pass.

THE FREEDMENS' BANK

A bill has been reported by the Senate
finance committee relative to the defunct
Freedmens' bank. It authorizes the accept
ance of the rendered resignation of the pres
ent commissioners, and devolves their duties
npon the comptroller of the currency, with
power to compound and compromise the
debts and liabilities of the concern, to sell
it's property and wind up the concern. The
comptroller is also directed to inquire into
the management of the company, and to
bring civil and criminal suits, if warranted,
against the trustees and others having had
control. The secretary of the treasury is
authorized to purchase the Freedmens' bank
building for $250,0O0. There should be no
hesitancy in accepting the resignation of the
commissioners. They have shamefully
abused their trust, squandering the funds of
the bank in supporting horde of rapacious
lawyers whose services have been of no
benefit to the depositors, engaging in costly
speculations and otherwise got rio of the
small assets of the concern. Perhaps the
comptroller of the currency may administer
affairs with greater faithfulness and honesty,
yet it is doubtful if even the most careful
management can produce anything from the
assets of the bank that will prove of any
substantial benefit to the depositors.
One part of the duty that it is proposed
TO confer on the comptroller of the currency
ought not to be neglected. He ought to
make a thorough investigation into the past
management of the bank. and if he does 40
we have no doubt he will find ground upon
which to bring both civil and criminal suits
against the former trustees more scoun
drelly conspiracy to rob lot of poor and
unsus pecting negroes was never concocted.
The trustees can offer no adequate defense to
the charge, and ought to be made to suffer
the full penalty of the law. They lent them
selves to that plot knowing its character,
without doubt, and deserve consldera-
ton whatever. Mr.. Knox has an opportun-
,tv to redeem himself from the charge of
having occupied an Office for decade
without having rendered an equivalent for
what he has derived from it., by bringing to
Justice a lot Of rogues who richly deserve
the penitentiary.

moved to Michigan, where they remained un-

to Illinois. After a residence of three wears
in that State, in 1856 they made their way to
Minnesota, and settled on Greenwood Prairie,
in Wabashaw county. Here they took up gov

RIGHT REV. BISHOP FOLEY, of the Catholic
diocese of Chicago, died yesterday, after an
illness of several weeks duration, aged 81.
Bishop Foley was appointed coadjutor bishop
of Illinois in 1870, and has ever since ad-
ministered the affairs of the diocese with
rare discretion and ability, and has been
greatly loved and revered by all who have
known him. He was preacher of elo-
quence, possessed of singular magnetism,
which attracted every one to him. His death
will be sincerely regretted by the church at
large. The vacancy will probably be filled
by the elevation of DR.. McMullen, who has
been designated as administrator of the
diocese dd interim.
