OUR LETTER FROM BROADBRlM.
Hesi,a OF the Democracy at
the Inauguration-Saleo of Seney'a Pic
tures-Sympathy for Gen. Grant-Busi-
ness aud Politics-Seney's Financiering
Henry Irving and Helen Terry. etc.
NEW YORK, March Z, 1855.
EDITOR CHIEF:
On Tuesday the town was empty. Never
in the memory of the present generation
has there been such Democratic hegira
from New York. Democratic presidcnts
have been elected before Mr.. Cleveland,
but when the last Democratic President
was elected Mr.. Cleveland Was only coun-
try boy, whose services we're we'll requited
by three dollars week. New York, whose
narrow majority turned the scale in his
favor resolved to do him honor, and the
Democracy turned out by thousands. For
| the time all faction fights and bitterness
were sunk in the triumph of the hour, and
Irving Hall, Tammany and the County
Democracy joined in the universal hurrah
for Grover Cleveland, President of the
! United States. Hubert O. Thompson did
not fall into the arms of John Kelly, nor
did Sheriff Dawson embrace General Spin
ola; nevertheless the Ratchet was buried
and scalps were safe. The Iammany con-
tingent to the Inauguration numbered 500,
but missed the silver-tongued OGrady,
who had borne aloft the standard of De-
mocracy for years, in the darkest hours of
disaster and defeat. There we're other we'll

Legal society in New York Professor Dore- mus brought up the subject of cocaine as a poison. He read letter from young doc tor in Kansas, who related that he had been called to attend a lady whom he found in a critital condition. She was in convulsions, the pupil of her left eye was dilated, her left arm was powerless, and there was great sali- vation. Three hours later she died The day before she was in her usual health, ex- cept that she was suffering from severe toothache. She applied four per cent. solu- tion of hyperchlorate of cocaine to the gums on the left side of her face where the decayed teeth were, and few hours later was taken with the symptoms described As soon as the professor received the letter he set on foot series of investigations as to the effects of cocaine, and the result was that in large number of instances the symptoms were similar to those developed in the case of the Kansas woman. It is evident that cocaine cannot be used carelessly

NOTABLE DECISION.

NOTABLE DECISION.
 The decision which the third auditor of the treasury has just made against the State of Massachusetts is interesting and important Some time ago the State of Massachusetts filed claim at Washington for compensation for expenses incurred in calling out and em- ploying the militia in the summer of 1863 in order to put down the draft riots. The amount claimed was about twenty-seven thousand dollars. The auditor has rejected the claim.
 The reasons given for this decision are worth attention. The auditor says that in suppressing these riots the State authorities simply did their duty; that keeping the peace and dispensing unlawful assemblages of disorderly people is the business of the State and not of the United States; that, although the design of the rioters was to prevent the officers of the United States from proceeding to execute the laws for drafting persons into the military service, and by the action of the State those officers were enabled to perform their duties the State was not therefore enti- tied to compensation. For the officers of the United States were engaged in their lawful business and it is the duty of the State to maintain order and tranquility within it's ju- risdiction so that all persons may prosecute their lawful business therein. If the United States should be held to pay the expense of suppressing riotous interference with it's off cers, by the same reasoning anyone whose business was interrupted by mob should be compelled to pay the expense of quelling the mob so that his business might go on. The expense of the militia in suppressing the draft riots in New York city was paid to the State by the government, but there the militia was called out at the request of the general com manding the United States forces, though the auditor evidently thinks that this was should have paid the bills. .fs
 The decision of the auditor is sound enc. The States of this Union have duties as well as rights. One of these duties is to keep the peace within their own borders at their own expense if they can.

drug; at others he was indifferent. He told the doctor that if he could get this drug al ways he never would abstain, but he found it difficult to always keep supply.
 An impression prevails among many medi- cal men of large practice that the secret use of arsenic is rapidly increasing. The pecu- liar tolerance of this drug in some cases sug- gests the regularity of it's use as stimulant or narcotic

How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind !! How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are well preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow CT. Yet what is this quint- essence of dust when blast ed by disease-his noble functions perverted or des- trasea as tail men are born free and equal," as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriOrated physically is a conceded question. To re- store it is an impOssibility, as long as people persist in immOr- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals.
 To this end we offer to the pub lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results in OverthrOWing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NERVE PILLS.
 The former is all infallible rem edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous ProstratiOn, Depression ] caused by OyerwOrk, etc. These remedies are extensive ly prescribed by physicians, 8 recommendation which does not obtain with any other prOprie- tary article, and command at the hands of the druggists in New England largr sale than any other medicine.
 IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE LECOMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record Of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. AS positive evidence we have thousands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon applica- tiOn.
