Tortures TJiat Xfcrd noi bo Endured.
People suffer a great deal of piin un
necessarily. Among tortures that need
out be endured arc those inflicted by the
rheumatism aud gout, since the acrid ele
ment in the bloofl which produces them
by contact with the sensitive covering of
he muscles ar.d joiuts may be eliminated
by the use of that matchless depureat,
Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters, before tHe
inflammatory symptoms are developed
any great extent. When it is consid
ered what excruciating tortures rheu
matism inflicts, ami what a tendency it
has, when fully developed, to attack the
heart, the advisability of an early use of
such a reliahle antidote becomes at once
ppareut. The rheumatic virus is ex
pelled from the blood by the increased
action of the kidneys—which act as
trainers—produced by the Bitters, and
the sufferer will find, if he uses this su
prente defensive ageDt, that he will be
protected against a return of the agoniz
ing complaint. Dyspepsia, fever and
ague, liver aud bowel complaint and other
nalndies, are also cored by this admira
ble remedy.

reality of the assurances by Haves that
he would abandon Packard. He says
Hayes on his arrival March 2d pro

pecially attacks Republicans who went
to Louisiana to supervise the count,
and urged the Returning Board to do

party to the bargain, and . knew per
fectly well the ptice to be paid for the
Presidency was the betrayal of Pack
ard and Chamberlain, and the sacri
fice of his own honor; that the loss of
the Presidency and its $200,000 of sal
ary was too much, and he cheerfully
paid the price. The fly leaf of the
pamphlet is embellished with the text:
‘And they all with one consent began
to make excuse,”and the queries, “Was
it a bargain, trade, assurance, agree

much as liis own safety, ho came at

such as make men infamous. Hu de

Say3 the Detroit News: Anderson, the
first uf the Louisiana Returning Board,
has beeu tried by a jury of his peer-amt
found guil.y of forgery, if that he alter
ed the election ret -rus Irem the parish of
Veruon in that State. There is no need
that any honest Republican should get
augry at this result, pud denounce the
court art unjust or the jury as a packed
one. Tbe crime is not a political one.
It is known to the criminal statues of all
States, a--d sCmi-civilized countries. The
courts of Louisiana have borne an excel
lent reputation, mid the lawyers of Lou
isiana have furnished the American bar
with some of the brightest ornaments.
The procedure of Louisiana, although
partaking as largely of the old Roman as
the English common law, is quite as fa
vorable to the accused as our our own.
Anderson’s trial was copducted in the
same way as all others. His jury was
selected by the O'diuarv means, and he
wa3 given all legal privileges of objec
tion, and these privileges were used to
best advantage by his able counsel.
Two of the jury were negroes and Re
publicans. Under all these protective
privileges which the law throws ab -tit
an accused man, Anderson was found
guilty: We were bound to believe him
innocent until he was proven guilty.
We are privileged now to believe him
guilty until he can reverse this judg
ment.

The exportsition of forest ire,, seeds
is assuming diuieiismns iu this country.
California sends S 10,000 worth per year
The principal purchases are made for
Germany, Austria, England and the
colonies in Australia and New Zeal md;
and«t present the demand exceeds the
supply. The seeds of the Oregon pine,
known also as the yellow fir, are most
in demand. The timber of that tree is
as good as British oak for ship build
ing, and has been fotind sound after
eighteen years’ u -e for this purpose.
The South Sea colonies are planting
the California red wood tree extensively.
It is hardly probable, in view of the
overwhelming majority in both branch
es of Congress, that the President will
exercise the veto power. It is hard to
speak with certainty on this subject, as
a strong pressure will undoubtedly be
brought to bear oa him to withhold the
Executive sanction, and not even Mr.
Hayes can tell what he mat do under
this influence.—St. Louis Globe-Dem
ocrat. ' •
As the South and West are'both agri
cultural cougtries. their political policy
should be tbe same. If the West longer
fails to assert and maintain her true
political policy, she will -be untrue to
her interest and her manhood, and will
deserve tbe burdens and di-grace that
are the fate of every people who are not
true to themselves.—Kansas City
