Miller occupied a back seat in the meeting.” What party does this much named patriot belong to ? We fear that he has severed his connection with both the regular or ganizations and is running 4 party of his own, known as the Miller party It is well organized compact and har monious, but, unfortunately, casts on ly one vote. However, the other parties may go to it after a while.

The News says Both these men were convicted of the highest crime known to the law; they were granted, after months delay, new trial on legal technicalities, and now are set free because the witnesses upon whose testimony they were con victed, have, during the interim, been removed by death. Their discharge is no evidence of their innocence, but it shows the results of the “law's de lays.” They ure free again, however, alter having been within the shadow of the scaflold, and it is to be hoped they will profit by the narrow escape they have had, and in the future be come law-abiding men and lead better lives. / ALABAMA NEWS. —The indebtedness of Jefferson county is $49,809.23. —The Wilcox News is for W.

I have devoted twenty years of pa tient study to the Liver and its relations to the human body, in search of a rem edy which would restore it, when dis eased, to its normal condition. The result of that labor has been tho pro duction of THAT'S LIVER PILLN. Their popularity 1ms bocomo so oxtoml ed and the demand so great as to induce unscrupulous parties to counterfeit them, thereby robrino mb of the re ward, and the afflicted of their virtues. TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC, and protect them for vile impositions, I have adopted a now label, which hears my trade-mark and notice of its entry in the Office of the Librarian of Con gress, also my signature, thus : counterfeit this is forgery.*®* Before purchasing, examine the label lonely. THE GENUINE TUTT’S PILLS oxort a peculiar influence on the sys tem. Their action is prompt and their good effects arc felt in a few hours. A quarter of a century of study of the Aver has demonstrated that it exerts a greater influence over tho system than any other organ of tho body, and when diseased the entire organism is deranged. It is specially for the heal ing of this vital organ that I have spout so many years of toil, and having found the remedy, which has proved the greatest boon over furnished the afflict ed, shall they bedoprived of its benefits, and a vile* imitation imposed upon them? Let the honest people of America soe to it that they aro not defrauded. Scruti nize tho label closely, see that it hoars all tho marks above mentioned, and buy the medicine only from respectable dealers. It can bo found everywhere. Very respectfully, W. 11. TTJTT.
