This was perhnpe the chief oatenaible issue
before the Virginia election. The Wells p .r
tj, going beyond tho opinion of the Reoon
atruotiou Committee of 1868, whereof Beore-
tary Ho*lw*“i was then a foafttog uiumh r,
•ought to impose the Test Gath upon alt Btato
ifficera. Iu the celebrated Louisiana dispatch
of the Hnooustruotiou Committee, dated Junt
30th 1808. it is held that “no oath can be im
posed except the oath preacribed by the State
Goustitotiou. ” Tho doctrine of that dbqiateb
is. that the Legialature of tbs Htate is the
judge as to whether tho Federal Constitution
has power to disqualify a member. But the
Walker Republican* of Virgiuia made no
vech claim. Ou the ecutrary, they appear to
have, carefully Nuieeted candidates who wore
uot obnoxious to tho Fourteenth Amendment,
thereby showing s s.»use of obligation to obey
the laws It is raid however (and (he asser
tion blauds nucha)longed) that, notwithstand
ing the Wells Republican* favored tho appli
cation of ths Federal 'Test Oath, they too, like
tboir oponeuta, brought out candidate* who
oould not uke tho Tost Oath. Hence the dif
ference between tho two faotiou* is doubtless
more in uauie than anything else; and, as
Senator Wilson intimated a few days since,
tho result of mere personal fuuds and there
fore uuwortny any serious attention now that
tho dispute is Milled.

The late speech of Andy Johnson (Ex-
President of the United States,) delivered
somewhere iu one of the mountain counties
iu Tennessee east of (be Cumberland range,
is, if correctly reported, a disgrace to our
civilization. It was uot only in bod taste,
both a* to style and matter; bat was exceed
ingly impolitic in it* bearing upon tho elec
tion in that State. Had Andy studied tho
looal campaign day and night for tho last
mouth, he oould not have made a more efieo-
tivo or lulliug speech for Stokes and tho ex
tremist’s party; and hi* effort is all the more
atupid and paradoxical when wo roiucmber
that he professed to favor Benter’s election a*
choice of evils!
Tho truth is, Johnson hates President
Grant personally as well as politically; and
he has not tteuae enough to *oo that every
time he opens his mouth he injuroa the very
party which ho ba* twice betrayed, and which
he now hopts to lead. He has always boou
the worst enemy tho “Democracy" ever had,
whilst he has also l>een tho greatest traitor
that ever crept into the Republican fold. He
eminently a politician without a party, as
he has ever been a man without a principle.

during the twenty year* the Constitution Las

quli
quires that no bill shall be passed without

Prof. Hcott, of Kentucky, acting on the be

uol* had another route to Mexico and Con
trul America than that down the Mississippi,
has for some time pant been conducting ex
plorations iu Utah, with the hope of throw
ing light on the subject A correspondent of
the Omaha Herald says the l*rofessor’s labors
have te en rewurded by the discovery, near
fivauaton, Khelby county, Utah, of a mound
of extraordinary dimeusioua, and of an fair
proportions a* any described by 8quier or
Davis. The work oi excavation was speedily
accomplished, and n vault waa Uhl bar« tight
feet long, three feet wide and four feet deep,
in which were the skeleton of a man, a cono-
shnned earthen pot. an iron Lraoclet, and two
medicine stones, oigur shupod and full of
holes. Ou the right side of tho skeleton was
fonnd a plate of nut* silver, tho sise and shape
of an artiHt’* pallet. There i* positive evi
dence that this vault is rnoro than 1,500 years
old. Tho Professor is confident that this dis
covery, to bo followed by others under tho
direotion of the Hmith*oniau Institute, will
stnblish the fact that the monud builders
crossed tho MisHonri river, aud passing over

Mr. Greeley, of the New York Tribune,

Attorney General Hoar was for ten years a
Judgo, and is quite aware that Judges claim
and exercise the right to ask questions of ad
vocates addressing the bench. Of course ho
never declined to be inteirupted by Judge
Nelson, whom ho has long known and es
teemed. Their intercourse has always beeu
that of friends who esteem each other’s abili
ties and worth. 'The World has slandered the
Attorney General becaaso it hates him, and
for no other reason.
In this connection, wo respectfully submit
whether duty to their readers, os well ns to

Why Mo* Advertise la Dali Tiara* I
Silica the very nature of an advertmemout
is to secure more bu:dne*s and greater
turns, it would seem a* if tho above question
wn* practically unnecessary, yet onr experi
ence thus fur proves tho opposite. There is u
large claw of advertisers who, when dull
time* approach, instead of exorcising tho
astral sagacity exhibited in other seasons, tie
an Additional knot in their purso strings,
withdraw their iramoslrom bolero tho public,
and then tit down to lament their sad fAto
and wondor why “so little i* going oi
have often endeavored to expose the fallacy
of such a course, and point oat its ruinous
consequences, yet, neithor the example of the
wise and pradent who hood not dull times,
and couHequently aro not afflicted with them
like other*, nor their own ill success has con
vinced them of their error.
It may be laid down as an indisputable fact,
that if in good times it i* neccHsary to adver
tise to secure basinuss, in dull times it In all
the more so. And why? Kitnply becaaso the
fact of advertising at all is proof conclusive
that auch a course will and docs bring busi
ness; hence tho more one patronizes tho press
tho groatcr will bo hi* revonuu, and tho moro
certain hi* success. Many mon are depend
ent entirely upon advertising for sucoesa.—
Suppose they were to rofose to advertise at
all! “Dull times" would bo the inevitable
result, and no one would wondor ot tboir
failure.
Of course some season* of tho yoer aro bet
tor adapted to particular classes of advertis
ing tliaii others, yet tho general advortiaor cau
never afford to withdraw himself from tho
public, even for a siugle day, aud Die Judi
cious one never will. Persistency and ouorgy
always requisite, and their fruits can bu
gathered b/ no other incentives, much less by
inaction and lamentation. If, then, you flud
that business is dull, or profits are growing
beautifully less, Instead of thrusting all tho
blame upon tho poor pnblic, look closely to

barrels were lighted, and tho negroes began
to flock in until they swollod into a crowd of
a thousand or fifteen hundred. Many came
with guns—most all with concealed arms—
pistols, knives aud razors. No tin up occurred
to disturb the harmony of tlie meeting, except
the inflammatory talk of the eaipet-bsg apeak -

dinputo between two citizen*, on a subject cn /
tirely foreign to politics or the meeting,attract
ed some attention, and in passing up to see
what it was about, a white mau accidentally
trod on ths foot of a negro. Just as the al
tercation about this wus settled, a pistol shot
wo* heard, and this was the signal for a general
firing.
The whole crowd disporsod immediately. —
The firing oontiuned a few moments as tho
orowd scattered, and in ten minute* a dead
quiet reigned, broken only by tho tread of
white patrols. A detuohment of United
Htatea troops was stationed at the guard
house, at ths request of the Mayor, in antici
pation of trouble. They took no part in the
fray, exoept to march up town to look after
and put a stop to some firing. It is not
known who Arcd tbs first shot It wa* tho
natural result of the exoitemeut. There were
uot over one hundred white mon as lockers
on at the meeting. Tho casualties were small
considering the number of shots and the close
quarters. Many shots most have been shot
in the Air. Throe negroes were killed oat-
right, four police officers were wounded, flv*

Tho Herald says: “A most gratifying point

lenitive to th* smelL A gnat deal of this nm-
cos passe* down the throat, and imperceptibly
affects the lining membrane of tho air pa*
•ages. After a time, this nraens will adhere
to the throat, just hack of and above ths soft
palate, requiring considerable effort to draw
or hawk it loose. Sometimes filthy lumps of
this hardened maous, having the sowtiriency
of glue, i* blown from the nostrila— it* very
tight aud *msU sickening the pattern. The
throat will, in time, become implicated, and
more or leu* irritation will be present during
the entire winter. If »' glected too long, this
inflammation passes down farther, and pro-
dace* either Asthma or Bronchitis, and even
Consumption. Most patients have a dull, heavy
feeling or pressure across th* brown—others
have heat and pain on the top or bock of the
head. The ears, and often tb* eyes, suffer
very materially. Catarrh is also on* of ths
most prevalent causes of noises in the bead
aad partial deafness, more particularly in one
ear. The disease being located in tbo bead,
in inch closo proximity to the brain, it natu
rally injures tb* mind, and consequently the
patient complain* of weakened powers of miud
or loss of memory.
While afflicted with Catarrh, the entire sys
tem is sensibly affected to a more or less de
gree. Besides the symptom* in the nasal cav
ities, nervous headache, eonfosion of mind,
and morosenea* of disposition, the party will
also experience an indisposition to labor, a
pain across the back, a capricious appetite,
disrelish for pleasure, irregular or costive bow
els, and, in the cases of most females, rnauy
complaints peculiar to their sex.
In many cases a tendency to Scrofula ia ex
hibited by Catarrh, and indeed w* have treat
ed many cases that were Scrofula in fact, and
the Catarrhal symptoms were merely its exhi
bition.
Catarrh is, then, a disgusting, pernicious,
and often (by merging the patient into con
sumption) a fatal malady. Few, indeed, re
alize the fatal consequences of neglecting it
till it reaches the lungs, when a slight hacking
cough tolls a fearful tale. To the mass of phy
sicians Catarrh is au incurable disease, bat
this is dae to their devoting no time to its
special study, aud thus tho malady, its cause,
nature and effects remain in almost culpable
obscurity. Homo fow have, indeed, taken the
subject np from time to time, but they made
only feeble efforts to master it, fonnd it obsti
nate and tedious, and finally abandoned (be
study altogether.
Most physicians also regard Catarrh in the
head or throat as a merely local affection.
Closo obssrvation, nnd a practice in to* treat
ment of over eight years, have taught us that
the disease is both local and constitutional.
The family physician, when consulted, not
willing to admit his ignorance of the disease,
often assort* that “Catarrh can nevor be
cared.” Owing to this ignorance, thousand*
are dying of Consumption in the morning aud
mid-day of life, who can look back a few
months to tho tirno when it was “nothing bat
Gitanh," aud it may bo safely asserted that,
after hereditary predisposition, Catarrh is tho
most frequent and important canse of this
fatal complaint.
That Catarrh can be radically cured, ifproj>-
erly treated, has been amply demonstrated by
tho uniform success attending our practice in
this specialty-to which we have devoted the
study and practice of many yean. The pa
tient experiences remarkable relief upon tho
very first application, and in a few weeks is
eutirely and permanently cared.

Heretofore the great impediment to the «uo-
raaaful treatment af Catarrh in the head waa
the Inability to reach all the catitiea of tho
naaal paaaagea. In fact, to the maaa of phy
sician, the lining mombranea of tho head are
utterly inaccessible. Knowing of no other
remedy, they apply anaffs, or inanlBation of
liquhla, or ereu troat by iojeoUuus from a
ayringe. InatcaJ of effecting anything like a
cure, it girea only temporary relief, while, ia
some cases, It eren injure, the patient by irri
tation of the membrane, booanae of the force
required to dialodge the Inapa or aoaba. All
auch application, are partial, imperfect, irri
tating, and raunequently ana-ailing to cftaci
tho desired ond. To otfecl any lasting bench I,
or make a permanent oare, every part ol Ibe
lining membrane of the nasal cavities most ba
thoroughly reached.
The method employed by Da. Fueraa k new.
philosophic aud eomprebeaaivro, and at core
recommend, itaclf to the patient. The appli
cations are made with an iugsnioaaiy con-
atrooted apparatus, and cleanse, the entire
passage ol tho offensive matter, and briagath'
medicated solothma in direct contact with tha
•liaeaaed snrfacea. Tha application, do not
cause the least inoouveuteiuv nor nupleaiant
sensations, aud can be made at home with
oomptelc aweceaa end without interruption to
bnaineaa So effective ia this aathod that tha
rellaf la iuataataaeoaa, the very Bret applies
Uon breaking np the disease at once, remov
ing tha had smell, heating np the aleerel-l
earthen, to a fow weeks, and prvrewtea* tba
lermallaw af offensive matter ever afterwards.
Ia Uia manner Da. Fberaa haa treated tha
most obstinate eaaea of Ohrouie Gatarrh, with
tingaasewa, after all other attempt,

the patient took that the dieraae li
