The Illness of the Editor
Is again plead as an excuse for the
paucity of original matter in this issue of
the National Republican. He hud a very
severe attack on Sunday last, but rallied
again on Monday, and, we 1, Uy hoped,
with milder weather would come at least a
partial restoration of his shattered health.
On yesterday, however, he had a relapse,
and, at the present writing, we regret to
say, ho is in a very critical condition.

Among the improvements going on around

Registration.
Up to the close of the list yesterday, 274
names were registered. Those receiving
certificates of registry cannot be too careful
in preserving them, as they will not be
allowed to vote at the city election in Decern,

the jiolls.
A Teat Run.
We see by a late paper from Washing,

a test run the other night.
We think the man at the lower market in

his own hook in ringing so long after the
fire was out on Monday evening last.

The almanac makers say that there will be
two full moons during the present month—
one on the Ist, the other on the 31st. Jen

Have You Seen it 7
Our exchanges tell us that Eueke’s Comet
is tiow visible through a glass. It is lo
cated near the constellations of Geimini
and Cancer, and can be seen between 3
o’clock and day-light. If this uj the case,
we may soon look for it in the evening, as
astronomers have said that in the latter part
of October it might bo seen with the naked
eye from 9 itt the evening to 3 in the

detailed to succeed him here. We regret
to lose Captain Whalen, who has dis
charged his duties both in an unostentatious
and satisfactory manner, and cheerfully
commend him to our friends in and about
Dalton.
Democracy.
The Democracy of the First Ward, in
their club room last night, made rather a
novel display in the way of dancing, crying,
or frolicking in some way. From all that
we could learn, the speaker of the night was
blistering those members of the club who
had formerly acted with the Republican
parly, when “one of the good Old sort, - ’ who
had fallen from Radical grace, approached
the speaker and reminded him in the words
u yon zare 1 you zaie'" that he was treading
heavily on his sore -toes, when a scuffle
ensued, and the lost scalawag was gently
reminded that a little fresh air would benefit
his heated and temporarily disordered brain,
and perhaps have a tendency to strengthen
his back, which appeared to be at this time
iu a “iwai’iHj way.'’ The second act was a
grand boo-hoo try, at which time our re
porter left.

Gentlemen of the House of lleprcsenlatives:
Our work for the present session is ended.
Whether il In: for the good of those whom
we represent is a question they must de
leiuiine. Os your many responsible duties
we were no: mistaken in the boginhiug.
True,, tin. session ha* bi.en uuu.nally
prolonged, but many perplexing and ceubac
rassing questions, upon which you have
been called to act, rendered our stay
here unavoidable, I know you have been
constant, in season and out of season ; that
your time and energy have been constantly
taxed in the execution of your duties while
upon this floor. But it is not lor utrto speak
of these things. Representatives, we met
here as strangers; personally and politically
our feelings were embittered by the extraor
dinary I, achiugs of those who should have
known better. Time has done mueh to
eradicate from our mind the bitter parlizau
estrangement wc bore to this hall. We sep
arate td-Jay uhuvst as one people in seuti
ment, with a common Interest. For myself,
I desire to say that I am glad we met to
gether here ; for, whatever may have been
the estraugeiimnl of feeling I brought iiito
this Assembly, God knows I bear none
hence; and now that wc .reparate for a
time, some of us, perhaps, never to return
«—for already the angel of death has
entered here and removed from us forever
a Moom and a Ballard—may I not ad*
monish you to bn kind ih feeling and in
word and thought, o>c toward another.
Listen not lo the teachings of tho political
slanderer, nor to him who would destroy.
This is our Government; let us endeavor
to correct the evils' which uuty exist, ap
peal to the intelligent;.' and wisdom of tbo
nation, -and pot to the pa si on aof a m<>L.
Ixst your motto bn ‘'wisdom, justice and
moderation,”'and all will La well.
Wishing you a sife retain to, and a
happy reunion with, your families and
friends, and that the evening of your days
may be as gentle as the setting sue, 1 bid
you an affectionate farewell.
I now declare this House odjuuruyd
without a day. Go<)d luck to you.

Th • Medical Ucllege of Breslau, Prussia,
by command of the Government, instituted
enquiries in regard to the purity ol Dr. Rani
way's Pills. The following is a copy of the
re|>ort, after a thorough analysis', signed by
Professors of tins College s
Report nJ aa Analysis ofß'lchrutf* Ksffu
lallwj J’IZL,
Instituted fur the satisfaction of the
Prussian Government and people. It ap
pears that the great popularity of the Pilis
throughout Germany, as an hqiericnrt, nnti
billious and alterative medicine, had pro
voked tlie maliee of the apothecaries, who
caused a report to be circulated that the
ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a
scientific inquisition into their nature and
properties was ordered, the issues of which
was a triumphantvindication -of the
sanitary value of the Pills.
The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after a careful anti minttie ex
amination, they have the honor to slate that
° the Pills are not only free from every sub
stance injurious to health, but arc composed
wholly of substances and elements proHiotivg
Os digestion, and certain at the same time to
act favorably ujion the nervous system,’-
etc., etc. They st ite. further, that-the inju
rious rumors set afloat by the Prussian
a|Kathee»rics originated “in a meat! spirit of
trade jealousy, excited by the gre.it celebrity
attained by the Pills within a wry brief
period."
