Mr. Bums hoped the motion would not prevail. He thought the movement to re consider (the bill waa the result of the strenuous efforts of a few persons who interested in the Mitchell property. We are not here to legislate to promote the interest >f a few. He would vote for a resolution exempting this property from the operation of the bill, or would consent to the appoint ment of a special committee to investigate thia case. Mr. Nunnally said that he would not vote for a resolution exempting the Mitchell property from the bill. He favored recon sideration because he believes that the pro- liich allows any vagabond to bring nrd a* a substitute that the meeting a cummittee of the whole la select.

Mr. Hinton animadverted upon the intima tion that the proviso allowing an affidavit to be filed instead of a bond, would open the door to thieves. It would open the door to »wk»r men, those who arc Ix-st acquainted with the frauds and peculations aimed at. The proceeding contemplated by the bill h as old os the Slate and has always worked well.

Trade is active, but not as brisk aa it should be. The great drawback is—the scarcity of money. While perhaps the restrictions upon interest may have some influence in creating this scarcity, yet, we think the evil haa a broader founda tion. It is due to the fact that we send the money out of the country for hay, corn, oats, bacon, mules, leather, cloth, brooms, passen ger and freight cars, etc. The last item, of passenger and freight cars, exerts a more detrimental influence than the mere sending of the money out of the country. Many of the roads have workshops fitted up, skilled workmen and material. Many of these workmen are kept on half time during part of the year. The workshops are exempt from taxation, and pay nothiag into the treasury. The workmen are deprived from adding by one-half aa much os they can to ward tbe wealth of the State. In the end* the railroad suffers msre than she gains. If our people would thrive and see money plenty, they must foster manufactures at home and keep all the money here possible.

Do not delay ; go at once to your druggist and get a package and be cured. nov36-dOUfcwlt Good Health and Long Life.—There is nothing more worthy of careful considera tion than a general knowledge of the plain est and most common-sense laws of medi cine and health. Upon this understanding and observation depends our health, strength, and longevity. We do not propose to m oke doctors of everybody ; but we would have all sufficiently well posted as to be able to pro tect themselves against the impositions of bigoted quacks and misguided fools and knaves who prey upon the fears of the un thinking masses, only to plunge them int> a ruin from which nought but death will re lease them. Our theory is, progress In medicine, as In everything else. The medical bigot, who is as wise as an owl, opposes all innovations or reformations—no advancement for him. He wants to stand where science stood t* o thou sand years ago. He believes In blood-letting, puking and purring, as the only remedies for all offliettons. We believe a warm stomach will regulate itself; Plantation Bitters aids tbe stomach in generating a natural warmth, which at once sets in motion the machinery of digestion, and expels dyspepsia w th its horrid nightmare. nov28-deodlw&wU 9 The True Grounds ok Cokfidkxc* Whence comes that firm reliance, that abso lute, undoubting faith ia efficacy of Hostet- tcFs Stomach BitWrs as a remedy for indi gestion, bilious disorders, intei mittent and remittent fevers, which notoriously prevails In all parts of the United States ? This con fidence has been growing for twenty years, and it is still extending. It is not the result of credulity; it has not been engendered by any human device, but is the spontaneous and natural consequence of experience. What people sec daily going ou under their own eyes they cannot question. When families in unhealthy districts, that resort to this wholesome vegetable tonic r*s a preventive, escape periodical fevers, and their immediate neighbors, who neglect that precaution, are prostrated by tbe disease, how is it possible that the phenomenon should he without its lesson ? In like manner when it ia seen that obstinate cases of dyspepsia, of liver com plaint, of constipation, of nervous weakness, and of general debility, yield to the opera tion of the famous remedy, how can even incredulity itself withhold its endorse mint* Eje-witnesses of the salutary effects of the bitters, are to be found in every civilized set tlement on (his continent. The thousands upon thousands who owe their restoration to health and strength, or their preservation from sickness to its extraordinary medical properties, are enthusiastic in its praise. Tne multitudes who recommend it in a neighbor ly way to their friends aud acquaintances, as well as those who make public their caiiuaate of its virtues, arc always ready to slate their reasons for the faith that ii in them. They have all eit u-r felt or witnessed its beniticent operations. r.ov23-de»»dlw»fcwlt (.KUKt.iA, Faliaa County* Ordinakt’s Orrn e, Novmabcr 14, lflll.
