The lan guage of the constitution is so plain in SDeakinz of the constituent parts of the Supreme Court bench as to leave no room to suppose that the present survivirie justices have the right of choosing a chief justice in this instance. Section 8 of article 4 of the constitu tion, which the Observer quotes, says : " The Supreme Court shall consist of a chief justice and four associate jus tices." ' And. as "our contemporary says, it will be observed from the above " that the constitution does not ordain that the Supreme Court shall consist of five justices, leaving them to choose a presiding justice; but' says in so many words that the court shall consist of a chief justice and four associate justices, all of , whom are to be elected by the people, in accordance with the require ments of section twenty-six, of the same article." Therefore, when the constitution says further that in the case of a va cancy on the bench it shall be the duty of the Governor to fill it by ap pointment, it cannot mean anything else than what it says. When a chief justice dies or resigns the Governor is authorized to appoint a chief justice or nobody. The language of the constitution is such as to admit of no double con BtrnMian.

The Post publishes an interview with President Hayes, in which he de tines his position and shows that he intends to stand nrm by tne policy he has adopted, and also to exhaust his constitutional powers in the promotion of relorm. tie expresses a belief that the utterances of those who in their capacity of managing politicians are seeking to stir up strife will not find among the masses of the -Northern people any considerable response. That when the Congressional campaign ccmes on it wi 1 be found that the peo ple are no longer excitable over these topics, and that the "managing politi cians," finding no material to work upon, will soon abandon their anti- Sauthern programme. As for other matters of public policy he has seen no cause to reconsider any act of the past, generally speaking, and no reason to modify any purposes which he may have formed or announced at any previous time. JNo plea of remonstrance based upon a purely partizan consideration win have any weight with him, no matter by whom made. He attaches import ance only to those representations which are put upon the ground of the general public good. The responsibili ty of his position places duty above personal feelings, and in his enort to keep the faith of his inaugural with the people, he will not hesitate to proceed contrary to the advice of individuals, however dear to him they might be personally, whenever it seems to him and his constitutional advisers, or rath er to the collective judgment of his ad ministration, that such advice is con trary to the letter and spirit of the promises he has made to the country. Mr Hayes regards the situation with calmness and has been at no time less inflexible in his purpose than now Washington correspondence of the Phil adelphia Record. Spartanburg, 8 C, January 8.

It set tled in mv back, and took the form of a large deep-seated abscess, which was fifteen months in gathering. I had two surgical operations by the best skill in the8tate. but received no permanent cure. I suffered great pain at times, and was constantly weakened by a profuse discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at different times Matters ran on thus about seven years till May, 1874, when a Inend recommended me to go to your office, and talk with you of the virtue of Vkgktike I did so, and by your kindness passed through your manufactory. notirg the int'edients, &c , by which your remedy is produced ay wnat 1 saw and heard I gamed some confidence in Vkqktiuk. I commenced takii g it .oon after, but felt worse from its effects ; still I persevered, and soon leit it was benehung me in other res pects. Yet I did not see the results I desir ed till I had taken it faithfully for a little more than a year, when the difficulty m the back was cu:ed ; and for nine months I have enjoyed the best of health. I naye in that time gained twenty-five pounds of fl sh beiDg. heavier than ever be fore in my life and I was never more able to perform labor than now. During the past few veeks I bad a scrofu lous swelling as large as my fist gathei on another part of .uy body. I took Vegetine faitbfnlly. and it remov ed it level with the. surface in a month. I think I should have nee i cured of my main trouble sooner if 1 had taken larger doses, after having become accustomed to its effects. Let your rations troubled with scrotuiaor kidney disease understand that it takes time to enre chronic diseases; and, if they will patiently takft VrosiiKK it will, in my judg ment, cure them , With great obligations I am Yours very tiuly.
