ADNIRAL PoRTER returned to this city last evening, with his family. Litvr. Cor. CHARLES SUTHERLAND, Assist. ant Medical Purveyor, has been detailed for temporary daty on the retiring board in session at New York. AMONG THE VISITORS at the Executive Man. sion this morning received by the President were Mr. Greene, a director of the Bank of England, with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, of that country, who are now on a visit to this city. SECOND ASSISTANT ENGINEER CARLTON A. User has been ordered to duty as a member of the board to examine officers for promotion now in session at the Navy Department, and Chiet Engineer Wm. W. Dungan has been de- tached from duty as a member of that board and placed on waiting orders. APPOINTMENTS. BY THE PRESIDENT.—The President made the following appointments to- day: John T. Allan, U.S, Marshal for the western district of Texas. i Henry F. Rice, Superintendent of the Branch Mint af Carson City, Nevada. Charles M. Walker. Assessor of Internal Rev- enue, 5th district of Missouri. Edward T. Randle, Surveyor of Customs, Port of Houston, Texas. L. D. Ingersoll, Appraiser of Merchandise at Chicago, lll. New RecrUIing ReGeratrons.—General Orders, No. 1:5, just issucd from the War Do- partment, directs that the western superinten- dency of the general recruiting service, under charge of Col. J. D. Stevenson, St. Louis be discontinued. The permanent party ai assigned recruits of the general service Leavenworth will be sent to Newport Barracks. As soon as the services of the officers on daty at Fort Leavenworth can be dispensed with, Col. Stevenson will relieve them from duty and order them to join their reg:ments or await orders, as the case may be. The rendezvousfor the mount- ed els Roe in the western superinten- dency will be closcd, and the unassigned re- cruits of that arm at Fort Leavenworth sent under proper charge to the Department of the Platte for assignment to the 2d cavalry. All irregular recruiting rendezvoas throughout the army, excepting those for colored infantry as how authorized. will be closed. This will not be understood as discontinuing the enlistments and re-enlistments made by regimental recruiting officers where no expense to the recruiting fand is incarred. Porit1caL.—The opposition to the return of Mr. Negley to the House, from the. twenty-sec- ond district of Pennsylvania, has become so serious that Hon. John Covode, chairman of the republican State committee, has Pubiaeed au appeal to the voters of that part of the State to come to the rescue. He “The defeat of Gen. Negley would be hailed with joy by the free traders.” ‘The opposition republicans have nominated Wm. Frew as an independent candi- date. The democratic candidate is James H. Hopkins. Ger. Negley # majority in 1368 was about four thousand. ‘The election in Delaware tor hundred otticers and inspectors of the State election in Novem- ber was held in that State yesterday. As usual little interest attached to it. and vote is very light. In Wilmington the republican majority is 270. Cle a the State,as far as heard from, the republicans have considerable gains on the vote of 1e6s. fond leading republicans of the second Massa- chusetts district having addressed a note to Hon. Cakes Ames requesting him to accept the nom- ination for Congress again, he writes them an affirmative reply. He will, of course, be electad over Edward Avery, the democratic candidate, as the republican majority in that district i usually about nine thousand. Republican nominations for Congress in Ken- tucky are complete, with the exception of the ninth district, as follows: Ist district, Nathan R. Black; 2d, M. J. Roark; 3d, D. Re 5 ath, M. Fidler; 5th. James Speed; 6th, Thomas rightson; row; 8th, H. F. Finley. The town elections in Connecticut Monday resulted for the most part as last year, excepting Hartford, which elected a republican board ot selectmen, notwithstanding last year it elected the enti:e democratic ticket by six hundred wa- jority. in the third Massachusetts district, Hon. Ginery Twichell will be renominated without opporition, and will probably be elected, as in a total vote of only fifteen thousand in 1863 he had —— of over two thousand. William Smytb, who represents the second Iowa congressional district, died at his home in Marion last Friday,and the Governor has or- dered a special election on the day of the gene- ral election, the 11th inst., to fill his place. Mr. R. B.’ Bolling, of Petersburg, has been nominated kr soeceundwn f as the conservative candidate for Congress in the second congrcs- sional district of Virginia. A letter from i say3 that the election in December in that State under the new Aker- man bill will result in the republicans retain- ing control of the State. ‘he temperance convention held at Fond-du- Lac, Wis, has nominated Charles Burchard, of Beaver Dam, for Congress from the south istrict. ‘The democrats of the first Missouri district have renominated the Hon. Erasmus Well-, who jon elected to the 4ist Cangress by only 15i ma- jority. b, William EXTRAORDINARY ELECTRO-SURGICAL Opr- RATION ON GEN. KILVATRICK has already been announced that Gen. Kilpatrick, our late Minister to Chil:, was obliged to resign his po- sition and return home, on account of declining health. ich afiticted him was a +welling on the left side of the lower part of thc neck, which made its tirst mop ance about two years ago. He returned to ited S: about ten days ago with his family, and on con sulting with some of the most skiliful physicians in New York city, where he is stopping, they cecided that the formation was an erectile (umor, wnd that Dr. Lincoln should perform an electric cperation, to which Gen. Kilpatrick readily as- sented. Friday last was the day tixed upon for the experiment. At that time the tumor pro- truded outwardly as large as a hen's egg. 'n- wardly it was much larger, crowding the wind- Pi jalf an inch over to the left, making the effort to talk and eat very difficult and painful. The New York Mail says: ‘There were preaent during the performance of the operatiou Dr. L. F. Sass, Dr, R. P. Lincoln, Dr. mond, Dr, Chas.

Follansbee, aud * "Robbins. ‘Mayor Emery, General Michler, and Ausist- ant Secretary (Otto, the Commission to select the Pavement and award the contract for paving Pennsylvania avenue, met this morning, at the Interior Department, and agreed to divide the Avenne into four sections, one of which should be paved with the Stow pavement, another with the Miller pavement, another with the Follansbee pavement, and the last withabe Hob- bins pavement. We are unable to give the bids and the amount to be paid on the successful ones, as the commissioners propose to make them out ina comprehersive statement. and do not seem pre- pared to make that statement to-day. It seems, however, that the accepted bids do not name a single price for the whole work per square yard, but name so much for the laying of the read- bed and so much for the laying of the pavement The following is a description of the ditferent pavements selected THE STOWPR PAVEMENT. A specimen of this pavement has been in use for the past two years at the corner of Ith street and Pennsylvania avenue, and has given universal satistaction by its cleanliness, sm hess, noikelessress and endurance. The pat says of this p or years I street pavem ave been striving to invent a that would be cheap, substan. tial durable, noiseless, and easy for team: vehicles to travel over; that uld not re: continual repairs, and would do away wi use of the vehicle-destroying and animal- murdering stove pavements now in use. This pavement is far superior to any wood payement now in use, for the tollowing reasons— namely 1. By waking a tirm and substantial foundation, constructed on the only true mechanical princi- val—that of so compressing the sand foandation vy driving in the one-inch wedge blocks until all the air and water is expelled from sand, virtually forming a stone colamn three inches thick and six inches deep under the three inch wooden block, extending from curb to from side to side of the street or ro . making a foundation that will not settle—the pavement will always remain even on the surface—the blocks never becoming loose, a: in all other wood pavements. /. The pavement being placed directly on sard foundation, the upper surface bein, ade airand water-tight, the wood, being always wet, will not dry rot, as all other wood pavem: that are placed upon a board foundat When finished, it is a pertect section ment; each block or piece of wood sustains the weight required independent ot the other. 4 It isso constructed that the different pieces do not become loose by use; but the longer the pavement is used the more substantial it becomes. 5 The gravel does not become loose. as in other pavements, but will remain firm as long as the pavement will last. 6. A portion can be taken up and replaced without injury to the pavement. In taking it up for laying water or gas pipes, or for constructing sewers, there is no necessity of removing any more than what is required for the pipe or sewer, which can be replaced in as firm and substantial manner as the original pavement, at one-fourth the ex pense of apy other wood pavement. THE MILLER PAVEMENT. The company owning this patent claim for this pavement the following advantages :—1 ‘The truncated wedge-shaped blocks are so put down as to cover the entire floor or plan foun. dation, which not only facilitates the lay but insures fixedness, solidity and durabi the whole structure. 2. The channe! the blocks being wedge-shaped, and running traversely to the street, are filled in with con crete, binding the whole firmly together, each line of filling operating like the key of an'arch, and becoming more and more compact witli use. 3. There being no parting strips, or dove- tail fastenings, or wooden binders, the block: stand relieved of those inducements to decay, which form a material objection to other wood pavements. 4. The construction of this pavement admits of its being laid, taken up and relaid as easily as any stone pave- ment. A single biock can taken up relaid without displacii its fellows. 5. It is capable of sustaining a much heavier load than others constructed with a less bearing suriace to the blocks, and may be constantly used by heavily loaded teams without injury or displacement, while the upper surfaces of the blocks continually increase in width as they are worn away, whereby great strength and dura- bilito are attained. 6. Itis a noiseless pave- ment, a feature which will not fail to be appre- ciated by those who reside upon streets paved by other methods. 7. Its cost, when put down in the best manner, will not exceed that of any good pavement. 8. One important feature of this pavement, which does not present itself to the eye when laid, is the tact of its Burnetized = foundation or floor, which is attained by infusing into the pores of the wood a prepara tion of chloride of zine, thereby chemical}; changing and solidifying its softer parts, an rendering the timber thus treated indestr ucti- ble by the ordinary process of decay. THE POLLANSBY. This is the invention of # Washington me- chanic, Mr. Lambert Follansby, who has been appointed superintendent of the work of paving the Avenue. He claims the following :—Thisx pavement is made of oblong rectangular blocks, with their upper side edges beveled, so that when placed side byside a groove will be formed between them, also of rows of wedge blocks placed at intervals between the rows of the rectangular blocks for the purpose of com. pressing and binding the whole together. The regtangular blocks are first laid either upon on earth or board foundation, as may be desired ‘The wedge blocks, which are made by cutting one of the rectangular blocks through diago nally, are then inserted partially. Concrete or hot ‘tar is then poured in the grooves, and as soon as it has had time to fill the space: between the blocks, the whole are compacted and bound together by driving the wedge block home. All of which will clearly aspeut upon an inspection of the model herewith submitted. As will be readily understood this pavement can be laid as well upon ai suitably prepared earth bed as upon the usual foundation of boards, though a board or plank foundation ean be made if desired nthe Process of being laid the adjoining eur- taces of the blocks become coated with tar or concrete, and when the blocks are compressed together by the we the adjoiving s ir- faces form a water-tight joint. As the blocks are rectangular, except the wedge blocks, as the latter ere made by simply mai one ot ns diagonally, it is the rectangular blocks pe dae Lae ocreceaton. me & pave- ment be more vement made of blocks ta tate way formsa solid com- pact body of wood, such as is required for firm- ness and durabiiity—there being no urmecessary partor pieces. For streets in cities, where the pavement has frequently to be taken up for the purpose of laying: down Or reparing gasor lana pipes or sewer mains it possesses the ni Advantage of being readily and easily Tatd, as - Well as that of being taken ip when desired. As will be at once noticed, in order to take it up it is only nec to loosen and remove the we:! blocks. It is, Of course, understood that after the blocks are laid the grooves may be filled with concrete.

To that 1 reply: “Jd certum est. quod certum reddi po- | fst’ —that is certain which can be rendered cer- tain.

Bat it is not for the court say, where the language of the statute is clear, that it shall beso construed as to embrace cases, because no good reason can be assigned why they were excluded {rom its provisions. « + = The legislature having made @ distinction between the cases, whether it was intentional or not, reagomable on unreasonable, the court are bound by the clearly copressed language of the act.’ To lawyers I need not say that this very lan- guage might be fortified by ten thousand judi- cial opinions and standard authors extendi: from the black-letter books down to the legal tender cases in sth Wallace.
