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.

Washington, Feb. 22.—William H. j Cremation is now one of the rites of Chandler publishes a review of the ex- J wjm. it. plaiiations made in tlia House in the so-called .Louisiana bargain, and re peats his charges that a trade wa's made securing the recognition' of the Ntch- olls government in r-turn for cessation of fil'tbustering in the House. He al ludes to John Young Brown’s state ment of Match 29:h, the written agree ments of Matthews aud Foster, recent explanations in Congress and the inter views and accounts uf the Burke mem orandum, the existence of which is not now disputed. _ He lays considerable the night of Marctt 1st, as proving the reality of the assurances by Haves that he would abandon Packard. He says Hayes on his arrival March 2d pro cured from Gen Sherman an order to Augur which Foster had on February gCth agreed should be issued. He es pecially attacks Republicans who went to Louisiana to supervise the count, and urged the Returning Board to do its duty courageously, and then return ed to Washington and bold them out Namely: Sherman, Matthews and Gar field. He charges that Hayes was a 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 ment, compact, contract, compromise, understanding, or what was it ?— What’s in a name?” and it ends, “To R-puhlicans who, on account of Mr. Hayes’ education and personal esti mated character, refuse to believe him lelilierately guilty of causing the misery ne has wrought, there is commended as a fitting description of him the words which that unsurpassed delineator of human character, George Eliott, makes her hero, Rotuula, speak concerning Tito Melania: “There was a man to whom I wan very near, so that I could see a great deal of his life, who niadt luiost every one fond of him, for ht was young, and clever, and beautiful d his t nun tiers to all were gentle and kin-1. I believe »h“n I tirotknew him he never thought of doing anything cruel and base, but because he tried to lip r.way from everything that was un pleasant, and cared for nothing else so much as liis own safety, ho came at last to commit some of the basest deeds such as make men infamous.

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. Sudden Si king of Two Acres of Land ■i Cu.m Benj. F.

The exportsition of forest ire,, seeds is assuming diuieiismns iu this country.

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.
