TOE CONSTITUTION/ ATLANTA, GEORGIA, APRIL, 19. The End Is Nigh. To-day, at one o’clock, the Georgia bill is to come up before the Senate on Us final vote. We await the result with great In terest, and sbaH be glad to chronicle some solution In reference to this vexed and seemingly illimitable qncstlon. Wendell Phillips to CuiTc. At the 15th Amendment celebration in New York, Wendell Phillips concluded a characteristic speech to the negroes with the following pithy admonition: > " If I had any legacy to leave the race I hare labored fofall my life, it wonld be this: For the next twenty years to go to the ballot-box and rote, not ai a Republican, or aa a Democrat, nor as anything else ex cept a negro.” What-the Defeat of the Williams Amendment Indicates. A Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Gazette, writiitg under dafc of the 18th, says: * “ Nothing definite in respect to the fate of the Bingham amendment to the Geor gia bill can be inferred from the vote taken yesterday on Mr. Williams’ substitute. Weeks ago I predicted that the Radicals would l>e driven by dissensions in their own ranks to keep Georgia in an unrecon structed condition. The probability still is that matters there will be kept In their present state, nnlcas at the heel of the ses sion the Radical purpose Is not otherwise accomplished.” Those Georgia Bonds that are Trading Against the Bingham Amendment. The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch telegraphed to that Journal yesterday, as follows: “ Railroad bonds endorsed by the State of Georgia have been offered to secure votes against the Bingham Amendment to the Georgia bill. In one instance this can be proved. The Senator who was to have been Influenced has declared bis Intention to vote for the Amendment, and the party proposing to trade was promptly exposed to the friends of the Amendment.” This statement will surprise no one. Now, what will the Senate do about It? Will it still allow Bollock to openly lobby on the Senate floor, and to proffer bribes to Senators? We shall see.—Cor. Ballimor* Gazette. An'Interesting LibellCosc. Tho case of Walter Florcstino and Henry A. Wcttstcin came up in the Superior Court at Cincinnati recently, on demurrer to peti tion. Tho plaintiffs were 'can-can performers, and the Enquirer, in an article concerning the disgraccfuincss of their performances, stigmatized them as “blackguards.” Plaint iffs entered suit against the Enquirer for libel, laying damages at $10,000 each. Dc fendant demurred, claiming that the parties had not been degraded in the estimation of acquaintances or the public, or had suffered loss in property or character; that the libel is of the business; that, to constitute the language libelous, the business must be lawful, which is not tho case, as by city or dinances immorality of Ibis sort is expressly forbidden. The demurrer of defendants was sustained by tho Court, and libel knocked in the head. A Startling Itomor. It is.rumored that tho Legislature of Georgia Is about to sell the State Road. We have been nnable to learn to whom this great enterprise of Georgia is to bo so summarily disposed of, nor the causes that have led to the rumored sale. If the sale of the State Road is really contemplated by the Legislature, it will causo many a pet scliemo of the Radical agitators to bo abandoned, and canse many n plan to “gang aglee,” for which tho vast financial resources of the road have been, for a long time used. We think that the “ Ring ” should be sat isfied with the golden egg laid, with such pleasant regularity, by this royal State Road goose, for the benefit of its masters, and that it wonld be snicldal to kill the goose for the sake of getting more quickly at its bidden ovsrions treasure, as the foolish old woman did in tho story. Bet Bollock go Home and Attend his Duties. One hrreverent fellow in tho United States Senate, named Norton, on last Wednesday, struck Bullock a sockdolager in the follow ing words. We commend them to the Ex ecutive : "You say that there aro lawless clans in Georgia, and that men diaobey the laws, outrage rights of person and property, and you bring qs official communications on the subject from tho Governor and other State officers, anti tell us wbat outrages are com mitted and perpetrated there. Why is it? It would seem to me to be a complete and s perfect answor to say that the State offi cers of Georgia are not there discharging their official duties and performing the legit imate and proper functions of their offices. When we are told that the Ku-KIux Klan are ravaging that State, laying wasto and interfering with, the rights of person and property, at the same moment—not just now, bnt we have seen it very often—the Governor of that Slate is here in the Senate chamber lobbying (if I may use tho expres sion, and I guess it is not unparliamentary, because it is need so often in connection with this body) and tog-rotting to kep him self and hi* friends and his political party in power. I do not wonder that disorder pre vails in the State of Georgia. - Sir, let him go home; let tho State officers go home; let the members of the Legislature go home where they belong, and attend to their du ties, discharge them as'they shonld nnder their State Constitution, and then they will be likely to haTe order; and if they do not, then it will be qnito time enough for them to come to Congress and ask ns to inter fere.” upon the exaggerated _. ders in the Southern SUtes; not of recent but of more than two ytars’ date, to prove that Georgia to-day is unfit for representa tion In Congress. It was a gory speech, reeking with blood! blood! AUthedead or the South for two yeare passed, were unearthed, and ; like Banqno, rose with twenty mortal murders on their beads, the victims of a dagger, in the Senator’s mind. The rfoqucnt speaker worked up a horri ble shadow, that had not the excuse of pro- cccding from the heat-oppressed brain, but was the deliberate planning of a cold, mis chievous judgment. He arrayed the com- mnnities In Tennessee, Arkansas; Missis sippi, and swnng clear around tie circle, taking ln all the late slave States, and charged all the murders committed within their borders to the Ku-KIux Klan, which, according to the Indiana Senator, inclndes all the people of tho Southern States that dotft belong to the Radical party. At the conclusion of Morton’s speech he was approached by tbc faithful of the Radicals and congratulated. None of the sound statesmen of the Senate were among his admirers, for they regarded the animus of the speech, as Senator Edmunds after wards expressed, sad indeed. Senator Edmunds followed In an able argument. In which he clearly demonstra- ted that all this struggle on the part of Bollock and his party was not to provide for the good or society, bat to continue about two hundred office-holders in office, in direct violation of the accepted Consti tution of Georgia. Senator Edmunds’ speech abounded In telling points, and he handled without gloves the man Bollock, who eat in a Sena tor’s chair a few feet distant. Mr. Edmonds showed that the alleged lawlessness in Georgia is not on account of the want of laws and physical force to sub- doe it, but on account oi the failure to exe cute the laws and the absence of the Exec utive of the State (Bullock,) who, instead of remaining at the capitol in Georgia, was here, hundreds of miles distant from his post of duty, indecently lobbying and hob nobbing with Congressmen to secure legis lation to perpetuate himself and bis min ions in power. Bullock took bis terrible raking down with indifference, if an impudent stare at his flagellator can be so interpreted, but it was evident to a cioseobserverthatthenn- scrnpulous schemer was cut to the quick, and wonld have preferred to withdraw from the gaze of an audience that approved his punishment. A vote was taken upon Mr. Williams’s amendment, which was intended to defeat the Bingham amendment, and in a rounda bout way give the Bullock men just what they wanted. Sumner ran here, Bullock there, Drake sent messengers after absen tees, and all the crew worked like Trojans to get in their votes, bnt it was a failure. Amidst breathless solicitude the vote was cast, and the plotters were defeated. The vote stood—24 yes, 25 noes. The amend ment was lost. Bullock’s face looked like nttcr ruin. The vote is regarded as some thing of a test of strength upon the Bing ham amendment. Well Put. Senator Ferry, a strong Republican thus pointedly pats the effort of Gov. Bullock to override bis own Constitution, and get Congress to thwart the right or Georgians to afi election in the fall: Why, sir. two years ago the people of Georgia chose a Legislature in great part in accordance with the Constitution of their State. They derived their power from that constitution whose creation had been au thorized by Congress. They expected, you expected, we all expected that when the two years’ life of the Legislature so chosen shonld terminate, the people would resume tiieir functions and elethe another Legisla ture with the legislative authority of their State by their own election. But now, sir, when this.Legislature shall have become dead—1 care not whether it bo legal or il legal, whether every member of it be enti tled to his scat or not—when it shall have become dead and its individual members shall have gone back to their individual citizenship, when not one of them will have one particle of legislative power for the State of Georgia remaining in him, we arc to revivify that legislative power, and by an act of sheer authority to make a Legislature for the State of Georgia for the next two years. And this is Republican doctrine in this year of our Lord 1870, and 1 am to be twitted that I will not sustain loyal men, and that 1 side with Democrats and rebels because I will notconsent in my place as a Senator of the United States to an outrage like this I In God’s name, sir, are we now in this day—we, the champions of the rights of man: we who have founded our faith upon tho Declaration of Independence—aro we to begin again the old, miserable Lccomp- ton schemes of iniqnity and outrage, only changing the theater of action to Geor- Ria? ' m Tho Latest News. Tho Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer states that J. \V. King, Esq, long a cotton factor and grocery morchant of Columbus, died at his residence in that city yesterday morning at 2 o’clock, after an illness of ten or twelve days, from paralysis of tho brain. Tho Avalanche says it has transpired that tho Union Pacific Railroad Company have concluded to bntid an airline road from Omaha, via Kansas City, Springfield, Memphis and Holly Springs to Selma; thence across to Savannah and down to the Gulf, with tiie view to choking off the pro posed Southern Pacific, and that tho Presi dency has been tendered to Col. Nathan Adams, President of tho Memphis and Ohio Railroad. In the constitutional convention in Chi cago a section was adopted allowing women to vote npon any proposition to raise monoy by taxation for any purpose whatever, when snch women have property that is subject to taxation. The ^New York Evening Post (Radical) charges that Justice Bradley—onp of Grant’s hope, (sensation in the diplomatic gallery.) The metaphor might be meaningless!; but it struck- him it was strong.

Bellud 1! Gore was hence forth his little game. Ho would die in his se *ti (Great cheering, which rendered the remainder of the Senator’s remarks inaudi ble.)—Punchinello. Radical Calumninators. Special Correspondence ortbe Baltimore Gazette, 34th.l A man named A. E. Bone will be exam ined to-day or to-morrow in regard to Ten nessee affairs. He represents himself as “an ex-Confederate,” and says “ he united with the Republican party at the close of the war, and that, in consequence of perse cution, he has been compelled to leave bis home in West Tennessee and take up his residence in Nashville.” In other words, this fellow is playing on a small scale the game of Holuen. and Brown, of Georgia, and Alcorn, of Mississippi. Snch men, by tbeir then commanding positions, carried over thousands of their fellow-citizens to the Southern cause, who, then wavering, would now suffer anything short of dis honor rather than stultify themselves by Ignomlniously repudiatlngtheir principles or violating their conscientious convic tions. Of course these renegades, one and all, are a pack of calumniators. They have not altered their opinions at all. Whatever ideas they may have entertained at and be fore the breaking out of the war, they still entertain. Necessarily they must have lied then or now. No wonder this man. Bone, has been compelled to leave West Tennes see. The only marvel is that he found a resting place in the East or anywhere else. District Attorneys to Receive Ex tra Pay for Doing; their Duty. Prom the Baltimore Gazetted Jt Is announced by authority that among other things which will shortly be sub mitted to Secretary Boutwell, “ will be the proposition to insert a clanee in the Inter nal Revenue bill allowing United States District Attorneys two per cent, of the amount recovered on the bonds of default ing officers." “This” (itis added) “will secure the Government against all loss from that source, and make bondsmen more carefnl how they become sureties.” Now what does this proposition (which, I understand, will be acceded to by the hon orable Secretary! amount to other than a confession In open court that the District Attorneys require a bribe on the part of the Government to perform tbeir dnties equal to the supposed amount they now re ceive from “the other side!” But “bonds men” need be nnder no alarm. I venture an “opinion,” without any fee that there is not in this broad land a single “bondsman” of the kind in question against whom a judgment In any honest court corild be obtained, were the “ official ” to abscond with every dollar in his posses sion ! The law is positive and plain that “Collectors of Internal Revenae” shall make daily deposits of all their receipts, assert npon trustworthy authority that there never has been a single instance in which this law has been enforced. The In ternal Revenue Bureau has connived at and permitted habitual dereliction in this respect, except in cases where it suited their political policy to corner an obnoxious of ficer. The “bondsman” has the right to demand this provision of the law to be en forced as a part of bis contract, as it un donbtediy in all cases forms a counter se curity to the surety, and upon proof that the Government officials have recognized its violation, his obligation, in law and eqnlty, is utterly destroyed Statistics of the Confederate Army. A meeting of the Confederate Relief and Historical Society was held at Memphis, on tho 30th ultimo, Governor Harris in the Chair. Dr. Avant read a communication on tho Confederate army, which contained the following statistics: Tear. ' Killed. 1661 1815 1663 18.583 1863 11,816 ^Vxshxxgtox, April 18.—Revenue to-day.

The returns of the field and general hospitals aro known for 1861-C2, and if it bo fair to assume the total mortality of 1863 and 1864 was fully equal to that of 1862, then the total deaths in the Confederate army in 1861-2 were at least 160,000, exclusive of the deaths in the Northern prisons, which would swell tho number to nearly 185,000; and if the deaths among the discharged for wounds and disease, and among the sick and wounded on furlongb, bo added, tho grand total of deaths in the Confederate army, during the entire war, did not fall far short of 200,000. According to this calculation, the deaths from diseases were about three times as numerous as those resulting from tho casualties of battle. Tho available Confederate force capable of active service did not, daring the entire war, exceed 600,000 men. Of this number not more than 400,000 were enrolled at any one time; and the Confederate States never had in the field more than 200,000 men ca pable of bearing arms at any one time, ex clusive of sick, wounded and disabled. Tho other business' transacted at this meeting was the introduction by Goneral Pillow of an amendment to the constitution, reported as follows: Any Confederate soldier may be eligible to membership in the association when his record as a soldier is blameless.

GEORGIA. Senator Morton’s Speech on the Georgia Bill — Blood ! Blood !! Blood !!!—Reply of Senator Ed munds—Ho Gives Bullock a Se vere Scourging'. W Cor. Richmond Dispatch.}* Notwithstanding the generally dreary and long drawn-out debates npon the Geor gia bill in the Senate, there was intense in terest manifested la the proceedings of this afternoon’* session. It had been heralded. «s is usual when Senator Morton prepares an essay, that the Indiana senator wonld to-day deliver himself of a “ great and ex haustive speech,” and Mr. Morton exerted all his talent* to come up to the standard of phrateotegy in the advertisement. Des canting upon ahowa and showmen, a fa miliar old English writer says. “Great prodigies are seen os they are expected,” and such* U the case to some extent with Senator Morton, though he Is no mounte bank, but really a man of great ability. He is a dangerous politician, and bis con ceded talents, coupled with an utter disre gard of the Constitution and precedents of law; his entire abandonment of all other tion under a graduate of the plied to contracts previous to its passage. The New York bank statement for the week ending yesterday evening is regarded as favorable to an easy money.market. Tho Opelika Era, Republican, says that the Radical contest tor Governor of Ala bama will probably be narrowed down to Governor Smith and Senator Pennington. Fruit in all North Alabama, South of tbe Tennessee, is all killed. An examination into General Howard’s managements of the Freedmcn’s Bureau, will bo commenced on Wednesday next. Tjie Southern Dental Association, in ses sion in New Orleans, adjourned sine die on Saturday. The next meeting takes place in Charleston, S. C n 2nd Wednesday-in April, 1871. A resolution memorializing Congress rel ative to a levee appropriation, was adopted in the Mississippi Legislature. PUNCHINELLO In the SENATE. He Condenses it—Schnrz “Pans” and Drake Quacks—The Ancient Male Duck’s Life Threatened by the Whangdoodle Ku-KIux. By particular request, the Georgia bill came up. So did Senator Schnrz. He approved of almost all propositions which tended to complicate questions, because the more complication the more offices, the more offices the more patronage, and the more patronage the more ices. . He know it was an alluring precedent which was offered them in the action of the Legislature of Georgia, retaining itself for double the term it was elected to serve. 'Bnt it was the duty of Congress to resist temptation. He used the word duty advisedly. Gentle men might sneer; but he could tell them that the public wonld not stand the inflic tion of snch a Senate as that which he saw before him fora day longer than it was ob liged to by law. By disregarding law, he wished to know whether the laws wonld not be greater than tho profits. - He admits ted that this was a pnn; but appealed to Punchinello upon tho point of the propriety ofpuns. Reform, he would say,. was -a plant” of slow growth. Ho had sown U; and hi* colleague, Mr. , had watered it; bnt it did not seem tq thrive in Missouri. Mr. Drake, who has been studying ejec- Funny Mention. A man in Michigan swapped his horse for a wife. An old bachelor acquaintance said he’d bet there was something wrong' with the horae, or its owner never would have fooled it away m that manner. An Englishman named Gilman, who has been severely fined for kissing a widow rested his defense on the ground that he kissed her children at tho saijio tjmc and had been in the habit of kissing the family all around. A woman in Missouri hung herself be cause her husband went to California. Next week a dozen more started, bnt their wives wouldn’t hang worth a cent, and the poor disconsolate devils have all returned bro ken-hearted. A female lecturer said: “ Get married, yonng men, and be quick about it. Don’t wait for the millennium, for the girls to bc- como angels. You’d look well beside an angel, wouldn’t you, you brutes?” An Irish gentleman at New York on Sun day evening, made the following ridiculous bull: “If, as the physicians say,” there is sensation in the cranium sometime after beheading, why don’t tho academists of France get the authorities to induce some criminal after being guillotined to hold up his hands if he feels any sensation in his head.” _ . The colonization of tho negroes in Liberia, according to the report of the Af rican Colonization Socic*;' is a failure. Instead -of reforming all tho savage tribes in their vicinity and converting them to Christianity and the ways of peace, it, is said the darky colonists themselves, are re lapsing into barbarism. . - ’ An old lady who had never traveled in the cars, resolved last week to visit Boston.

In explanation of the Georgia corrup tion resolution, the Star says: “It has been rumored about tbe Capitol that a promi nent Senator was offered a Georgia State Bond if he wonld vote against the Bingham amendment; and tbe son-in-law of another Senator was offered a large sum of money to influence the vote of his father-in-law against that amendment. In both cases the lobbyist was-sent away with a flea in his ear, and the Senators approached in the matter, gave the information which led to the introduction of Mr. Edmunds’ resolu tion.” Both Houses are in session to-night. Spicy Letter from . Postmaster General. * Washington, April 15.1870.—Sir: The Postmaster General duly received your fa vor of the 8th inst.In which were enclosed circulars, issued by one Bryan Tyson, In tended to be addressed to parties bidding for the tranportation of tho mails, and which yon say: ‘Have been scattered broadcast in the Southwest to tbe Injary of the Department’ Said Tyson having proposed, by his circulars, to enter into a ■combination to prevent the making of bids for mail contracts by other persons, the Postmaster General has lately issued fin order to reject all bldssubmitted by Tyson.

Sumner offered a rcsolntion instructing the Committeeon tho District Columbia^ to report a bill securing equal rights on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. Georgia Bonds and Bribery; Mr. Edmunds rose and stated that charges bad been brought to his attention, in which the names of parties who were said to be ready to sustain the same, were given, to the effect that attempts, had been corruptly made to influence tbe votes of Senators in the Georgia bill. He did not say upon which side, but these charges were made in snch a manner that ho would he recreant to his duty ns a Senator, if he did not notice them. He therefore offered a resolution instruct ing tho Committee on Judiciary to inquire whether any attempts have been made to corruptly influence the votes of Senators now pending in the Senate for the admis sion to representation of the State of Geor gia. and with authority to send for persons and papers. Tho resolution was adopted. The Georgia Bill was resumed. Drake, Sumner and Carpenter spoke—no action. Adjourned. In tho brief Executive session nothing was dono affecting the South.

Packers are ottering stuff freely, at fall prices, but are unwilling to cut under, and concessions would certainly have to be made to effect sales. At the beginning of tho week there were large ordors here for bulk meats, which have since been withdrawn, or lim its reduced, as tbe last advance carried stuff beyond tho views of buyers for the present. Bulk Meats—Shoulders held at 11, with no demand above 10)*: a sale of 20,000 lbs. at 11)* of a special and choice cure; no crlterian of the market; rib, dear rib and clear 13)*al4 l-2al5; nothing of conse quence done.

There i9 a good deal of contract bacon on the market, and it is that that is supplying the demand; some of it is old packed. 14 Bacon Hams—Firm at 16.

There is considerable discrepancy in the quotations that the different packers give for their brands. Good bams can be had at even 17 1-4. Lard—Very quiet; held at 16 city, and 15 3-4 country; folly l-4al-2. Concession would have to be made to effect sales in the present condition of the market; prime, steam, head and gut 1-4. St. Louis, April 14. The receipts of corn have again increased somewhat in proportion to the demand, which, however, has been sustained by an active order trade to Southern points, and somewhat speculative purchases and ship ments on Eastern account. On the day preceding our last report, prices agaiu ad vanced, but weakened on Friday, only to gain strength with the opening of the pres ent week, since when the market has been active and buoyant, closing yesterday at prices above Tuesday’s quotations. This demand, however, is exclusively for prime S uaiities in bulk, and in good shipping or- er if in sacks, the following table showing the changes of prices dnring the week upon offerings up to the requirements of shippers:' Balk SUSS Prime mixed olaSB Yellow Mesa Mixed white snails Choice white..., 03a»5 Damp and common grades have been neglected, distillers, despite the high price of high-wines, refusing to take hold freejy, and the local feeding demand for such qualities being quite light. In provisions the feeling appears to have settled upon a more assured basis of values The conflicting opinion oHong crop and short crop men have been reconciled by the known lightness of stocks at all con- sumlngas well as supplying points, and the very timidity of purchasers at tho South daring the winter months, is leading to a reactive demand, which every day becomes stronger as prices show a fluctuating mood upward only; and at tbc same time holders are materially strengthened by the light receipt of hogs—a matter that is likely to materially affect prices .at city packing points, while country packers are enabled by the prevailing ease of the money mar kets to carry their remaining stocks with out difficulty. That these causes will not be sufficient or rather, may cease to operate in tho sum. mer months whe farmers will have more leisure to forward their spring tightened hogs, or country packers have held to the verge of a new season, is probable; but that contingency is not near enough to af fect the prices during the next week forty or sigty days, and a speculative feeling is assuming a place again in the market. Under the influences noted prices have advanced l-2a)*o per lb. for bulk meats, while pork has advanced from 27 60 to 29 00 per barrel, at which rate the market closed, firm yesterday. Lard also has advanced, chiefly from a demand for export, and closes fully l-2c higher than at tne date of our last review. coastwise 800 bales; stock on hand 25,393 bales. ril 18.—Cotton shipments _ he 16th, since last report his Is regarded as excessive men in Liverpool.

The House had a little amusement over polygamy in Utah. That institntition shocks Mr. Ward, of New York, and natu rally, also, Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts. Mr. Ward was astonished to see any mem ber standing up in defense of polygamy in the nineteenth century. If some member should stand up in any other century and defend It, it would not astonish him stall. It was sheer inhumanity to refuse to come to the rescue of our suffering brethren in Utah. How a man who had one wife could consent to see fellow-creatures writhing under the infliction of two or three each, was what, Mr. Ward remarked, got over him. Mr. Butler pointed out how much money the Mormons had made. Mr. Cox did not see why we shonld inter fere by force to prevent a man’s marrying as many wives as he chose. Such a man was his own worat enemy; and his crime carried its own punishment Mr. Hooper, of Utah, said the bill was an outrage. By all the wives that he held most sacred, he felt impelled to resent it Moses was a polygamist: hence his meek ness. If this sort of thing was continued, no man’s wives would be safe. His own partners would be torn from him, and tnrned out upon the world. He scorned to select from among them.

Newton, M. D, Pres ident of the E. Medical College, city of New York, that speaks in high terms of its enrative properties, and gives a special rec ommendation of Koskoo to the practition ers of medicine. This is, we believe, the first instance where such medicines have been officially endorsed by the Faculty of any of the medical colleges, afid reflects great credit upon the skill of Dr. Lawrence, its compounder, and also puts “ Koskoo” in the van of all.othcr medicines of the pres ent day. feb26-d&w6m An Interview Between a Doctor and his PATIENT.-Threc months ago Mr. James Henry Redding, of 509 Grove street, New York, was, as he supposed, not far from 8 door. His physician—considered f skillful one—had given him up, prononno ing his complaint atrophy. Ue.wis fear fully wasted and debilitated, had a con stant pain in his right side, ate scarcely enough to keep a baby alive, and was much depressed in spirits. At this juncture, a clerk in the establishment where be had been employed, persuaded him to try n course of Plantation Bitters. Last week he returned to business—bis health hein" quite restored. Tho other day, on his way home, he met the physician who attended him, when the following conversation oc- cqrrea: “ What!” said the Doctor, “is this you?” “Even *o,” replied Mr. Redding, quietly. “ You’re not sorry to find your self a false prophet, I hope?” “No, no: certainly not. But it’s a miracle. How was it, my dear fellow9 how was it?” Mr. R. told him the story of his recovery, (as- crihing (t wholly to the Bitters), and is willing to confirm it verbally or by letter whenever applied.to. , The new food-source, Sea Moss Farina, is becoming very popular with ail classes.
