Go to the Police and supply yourselves,

two dollars and a half each. We made an
error in reporting the price, on yesterday.
Remember, it is two and one-half dollars

Christian Church Pic Nic.
On yesteruay the Sunday School chil

picnic at Schultz's Hill. Plenty of nice
things to eat; lemonade, iec cream, nnd
fun and frolic a plenty. Upon tho whole,
it was an enjoyable affair, and worthy of
the reputation of the ladies and gentlemen
who managed the matter.

Thia valuable institution has met And
adjourned, after a suasion of two days, iu
this citj» Although members of the Associ
ation, ere had too much self reapoct to attend
a conclave in oither of the newspaper offioes
of thia city, uot only on political grounds,
but for the fuct that J. L. Stockton A Cos.,
proprietors of the CoiutUuiU'Halisi, aud
Henry Moore, proprietor of the Chronicle <6
Sentinel, did, ou the 16th of January, 1887,
levy “black mail" ou us, to the amount of
five hundred dollars each,for the privilege for
receiving telegraph dispatches, aud for which
same privilege they had never been asked to
pay scant to any one. Many other newspapers
havo been started since then in various
Southern cities, but the proprietors of the
above named daily papers are tho only par
ties ihnt ever tried to crush out a rival by
levying "black mail" upon him. Wc would
have been pleased to attend the meetings of
the Associates at any other meeting place,
where we would have no grounds to object
to locality. The deliberations of this body,
in some respects, were highly proper and
commendable, but when the cloven foot ol
so-called Democracy was so palpably evident
iu many other respects, we cannot endorse
tbe whole action had.
In the election of Directors tor the present
year, we find the name of A. It. Wright of
the. Chronicle & Sentinel mentioned as one
of them, when the Constitution and By-laws
distinctly declare that a Proprietary interest
is necessary for membership, how much
more then is it requisite that a Director
should be a proprietor of, or hold an interest
in some Daily newspaper? If the above
named Director owns any interest in any
paper it must be of late date, for from his
own testimony on the witness stand last year,
ho held none then, having testified that he
was merely an employee iu the office of
the Chronicle <('■ Sentinel. Furthermore,
we cannot conceive of any reasonable ex
cuse for a violation of the Constitution iu
this particular Article, or in fact iu any other,
while we presume there are some other
members of the Association who do hold a
proprietary interest in a Daily newspaper,
and are eligible to the position of Directors.
Besides this unconstitutional act, we find
that the opportunity could not be suffered to
pass unimproved by Old Aunt Hannah
Steele of the Daily InteUitjcneer, without
giving a pledged support to the “while man’s
party.” (We remark cnpassant that some
body ought to have posted Old Aunty, and
informed her that in this section, the “so
called” are trying to iniscegenatu with the
negroes, and establish a brotherly connection
for the sake of their votes, and have changed
from calling colored men “d—d niggers,”
to “our colored friends, oh how sweet!”)
Wc presume to think that tbe meeting of
this association was for a purely business
purpose—that its members were wholly
actuated by a desire to interchange thoughts
and suggest improvements, and thereby
elevate the daily press of the South, as well
as to pecuniarily advance the interest of nil
concerned in its conduct 1
We find that such was not the case, and
that those who arc reported to havo been
present at its deliberations, forgetful of
these things, launched out into uncalled for
and reprehensible sentiments calculated to
lower the standard of dignity’—as the press
is looked upon as the fourth estate in tho
country—as demanded of all members of
the press gang. We care naught for the
invidious distinction made in regard to
ourselves, for nothing else could have been
expected from the resolution makers who
wind up the proceedings.
The Association adjourned night before
last to meet on tho second Wednesday in
February, 1869, in the city of Mobile.

90 oat of 100 of deaths that annually
occur, are caused by l’rcvcntiblc Diseases,
and the greater portion of those complaints
would, if Radway’s Ready Relief or Pills
(a3 the case may require) were adminis
tered when pain or uneasiness or slight
sickness is experienced, be exterminated
from the system in a few hours. Pain,
no matter from what cause, is almost in
stantly cured by the Ready Relief. In
cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sore
Throat, Diptheria, Colds, Head-ache, Tooth
ache, Cramps. Spasms, Bilious Colic, in
(act all Pains, Aches, and Infirmities,
either in the Stomach, Bowels, Bladder,
Kidneys, or the Joints, Muscles, Legs,
Arms, etc., will, in a Jew minutes, yield to
the soothing influence of the Ready Relief-
Every family should keep these life-saving
remedies in the house—can he used on all
occasions, where pain or sickness suddenly
seizes you, or accidents occur—are safe and
rapid in their effects—can he taken or used
by infants as well as adults—and all who
use them, no matter how sick, or great may
be their sufferings—a few hours in the
worst cases, and a lew minutes in ordinary
complaints, will afford case anil comfort.

Typhoid I'evor.
This disease is not only cured by i)r-
Radway’s Relief and Pills, but prevented.
It exposed to it, put unit teaspoonful of
Relief io a tumbler of water. Drink this
before going out in tbe morning, and seve
ral times during tbe day. Take one of
Radway’s Pills one hour before dinner, and
one ou going to bed.
If seized with Fever, take four to six of
the Pills every six hours; until copious dis
charges from the bowels take place; also,
drink the Relief diluted with water, and
bathe the entire surface of the body with
Relief. Soon a powerful perspiration will
take place, and you will feel a pleas,
ant heat throughout the system. Keep
on taking Relief immediately, every four
hours, also tho Pills. A euro will lie
sure to follow. The Relief is strengthen
ing, stimulating, soothing, and quieting ; it
is sure to break up the Fever and to neu
tralize the poison. Let this treatment be
followed, and thousands will he saved.
The same treatment in Fever and Ague,
Yellow Fever* Ship Fever, Bilious Fuver,
will effect a cure in twenty four hours.
When the patient (eels tiie Relief irritating
or beating the skin, a cure is positive. In
all cases where pain is felt, the Relief
should be used.

Congressional.
Washixoton, May 8.—7/otur—Private
bills were considered. Stevens reported bill
admitting Arkansas—he considered tbe Con
stitution unexceptionable, and did not desire
to debate upon the bill. Bcveral members
complained that they had never seen the
Constitution.
Baker, though favoring the provision,
doubted the Constitutional power in force,
and the stipulation regarding suffrage.
Business of this kind should not be done
hurriedly, nor should the bill pass until tho
Constitution is examined.
Stevens snid there was not a clause in the
Constitution that was objectionable to a man
who favored freedom. Stevens demanded
previous question, which was seconded and
main question ordered.
Stevens yielded the floor to Woodward for
15 minutes, who, having never seen Con
stitution, declined speaking.
Beck stated that if time was allowed him
he could demonstrate that the Constitution
never received a majority vote of tbe people
of Arkansas, A few days would show this,
therefore they rushed this bill through ; that
tho franchise and educational clause was
particularly obnoxious.
Bill finally passed by 110 to 32.
Baker, Sloan, Spaulding and Williams of
Pennsylvania, voting nay. Shanks intro
duced a resolution declaring officers recently
elected in South Carolina to be provisional,
and that the Government of that State be
referred to the reconstruction Committee.
Paine reported a bill admitting South
Carolina. It was ordered to be printed.
Adjourned.
Washington Items.
Washinui’on, May B.—Judge Chase’s
connection with adjournment was misstated
last night Adjournment had been fixed
to 11 o'clock Monday, Chase said it would
place him in an embarrassing position to
frame the questions, nnd therefore he should
like to have the advice of the Senate on the
subject, and would be obliged to them if
they would adjourn until 10 o'clock on
Monday, instead of 11 o’clock. Adopted.
There was a full Cabinet meeting.
The Radicals have nominated Sayles J.
Bowers, City Postmaster, for Mayor.
The Republican Congressional Committee
have advices from Florida that the Consti
tution has been adopted and a Radical
Legislature elected in that State.
South Carolina’s Constitution.
Washington, May B.—The South Caro
lina Committee will protest against the Con
stitution before the Reconstruction Com
mittee.
Stevens received them with a chilling
remark—that what tho protest claimed as
grievances they regarded virtues.
Col. Thomas addressed the Committee,
making points that tho white people would
not patiently submit to negro supremacy,
and that while they would be compelled to
submit to the yoke, there could be no real
peace until it was removed.
The question of taxation seemed to im
press the Committee socially.
Stevens suggested- the plan of allowing
the property holders to fix taxation.
Many Southerners were present in the
Committee room, and the Committee are
hopeful of some modification of the most
objectionable features of the Constitution.
The Committee are favorably received, and
their views fully endorsed by Representation
men here of the Northern Democracy.
American Medical Association.
Washington, May B.—The American
Medical Association meets next year at
New Orleans. Dr. Wm. O. Baldwin, of
Montgomery, Ala., has been elected Presi
dent. Receiving him on behalf of the
Association, Dr. Gross said : “I wolcome
you as tho representative of our long lost
Southern brethren. May God bless you ;
