The Senate of the United States was
greatly wrought up, the other day, by see
ing IN the daily papers the full text of Sec
rotary Bayard's private letter to Senator
Miller, regarding BarrIOs, the Central
America uSurper. The letter had been
read in executive session of the Senate.
and copies of it had been furnished to the
Senators, with strict injunctions of secrecy.
The fact that this letter, with other mat
ters discussed in secret session. had found
its way into the public journals, was look
ed upon by tine Senators rs direct viola
ton of their rightsas a Legislative body and
ii piece of unparalleled impertinence OF the
part of the Journal which allowed their re
portcrS To give these matters to the public
1t must he admitted that of late the SC.
crecy of the Senate has been rudely VIC
lated by the reporters on more than enc
occasion, aud the Senators have rather
been upon their guGrd But this latest
infringement of the rights of secret SEES
sion following so soon after the premature
disclosure of the treaty with Nicaragua
seems to have completely batiled them y
second secret session was called to discuss
the violation of the rule, and this meeting,
too, appeared, at least, partially in
the papers. The Senators who join
ed in the animated discussion as
to the various plans for pre-
venting reporters from getting hold of
matters which the Senate did not want
published, must have had peculiar sensa-
tons when they came 10 read the news
paper accounts OF the debate upon the
secret debate OF course, it was some
Senator, or Senators, that blabbed. The
Senate took care to convince itself, that no
recognized representative of any public
journal was within the walls Of the Sen
ate chamber, or within hearing, during
either of these executive sessions, and that
consequently there must have been a
Senator upon whom the injunction OF
secrecy was not so binding as to close his
mouth,
The whole transaction brings prOmin-
entity to the front again the question OF
the propriety OF IL legislative body, acting
in the name of and for the interests of the
people, holding secret session upon the
public business. As regards the abstract
question, it would certainly seem to be
desirable that the Presidents cOnsttu-
tional advisers should have the privilege
of discussing among themselves, and not
before the public such matters as appoint
mentS. and matters concerning foreign
nations, when publicity would interfere
with negotiations or damage public inter
ests But there can be no argument for
secret sessions which are not secret whose
proceedings and debates become at once
public property, perhaps in Il distorted and
incorrect form. ii the Senate contains
such leaky vessels that its secrets are not
safe in its own keeping, it would seem Ia
be well to dispense with any attempt AT
secrecy As it IS, the general public give
their sympathy to the newspapers; and
are more ready to applaud the enterprise
which gets hold Of matters Intended To be
kept from the people than to share the
disgust of the senate at the disclosure of
its secrets.

Typhoid Fever.

I am sixty.seven years old, and
have lived in this (HalD county all my
life. Up to twenty-eight years ago l
was regarded rs the strongest man in
the neighborhood-the most robust
in health. In Nov 1856 i had long
and serious spell of typhoid fever.
II left me emaciated and cripple in
my right leg. At times that limb
was swollen an enormous size, being
twice MS large as its natural condition,
and inAamed and angry in appear
ance From my knee down small sores
came, and at the ankle a large ulcer
came, which discharged poisonous
matter. Ny whole system became
infected. The doctors would patch
me up for while, but the ulcer
would never heal. The mercury and
potash with which they dosed me
brought on. rheumatism and dyspep-
STA. I was IN object Of pity to all my
friends. Some thought that the only
hope to save life was amputation |
continued to grow worse, and for 3
years / have not worn shoe. Hope
had almost left me. Swift's Specific
was suggested, and commenced its
use at once. From the very first |
began to feel better. l have taken
thirty. SIX bottles, and the shadows
which have darkened my life for 2S
years have all been dlssipatod. The
effect of the medicine has been Won
derful indeed. To-day l am able to
attend to all my farming interests,
and walk from one to five miles per
day. [ am satisfied that the disease
is entirely braken up, and henceforth
L am to be free from those terrible
apprehensions and suffering which
formerly made my life miserable
Swift's Specific has done more for me

THE DRUNKARD,s DREAM.

Tho following is tho history OF an oil
insbriAte Of Charlottesville, Indiana, whit
made many efforts 10 reform aud finally sue
eeeded aud become u sober man before IA
died.
l dreamed dream the other night,
When all around was still,
thought | saw my cottage white
Upon Yon aowsry hill.
The grassy plot before the door,
The porch with vines o'crgrown,
Were lovely ~ they were before,
When that cottage was my own.
Tho gravel walk so white aud straight,
With howery banks each side,
Which led down TO tho wicket cato
Where Willie used 10 ride;
The locust o or the path that grew,
The willow boughs that swayod,
All told me, with story true,
That there my Mary played.
Tho river running calm and clear,
Along whose banks ryo strayed
So often with my Lucy dear,
To watch the sunlight fade;
The brook that purling sweetly ran
Tho garden foot along,
Aud murmuring now as sweet M then,
Still sung the same loved song.
Tho window toward the garden gate
That looked ont on the west,
Where that loved being used TO wait
Who made my home so blest,
Was closed, the sombre curtain hung,
And no loved face was there,
Nor voice the evening song that sung,
Or breathed tho morning prayer.
Yes, that loved wife has gone to rest,
Her heart in death is bound
Her babes lilo sleeping on her breast
Beneath yon grassy mound;
And am wandering lone, estranged,
Not master Of my will
My homo, my cottage homo, is changed
To hut behind the still.
