It ia a fact as well authenticated aa that two

and for the simple reason that it 8 invigora

those of any other medicine in the world.
Daring the twenty years that it has been in
general use, ample opportunities have been
afforded to compare its medicinal properties
with those of other preparations claiming to
be of a similar class, and the result has been
its adoption by tbe American people *s the

every civilized portion of the western hemis

neignificance tbe demand for all its would-be

The record upon which ita popularity rests
ia a curiosity in medical literature, for it in
cludes an almost unlimited variety of hum in
ailments and disabilities. Iu fact, no other

it owes its prestige as a household medicine.

False Theories Overthrow;*.—T\’c live
under a new medical dispensation, very dif
ferent from that under which so many of our
forefathers died. The sick are ny longer
bled till they faint, nor gorged with meicury,
nor prostrated with violent cathartics, nor
blistered on their shaven heads. Ever since
the introduction of HostetteFs Stomach Bit
ters, twenty years ago, renovation and re- to-
raiion, not depiction and prostration, have
bet n the watchwords of the judicious por
tion of the profession. The reuiaikable suc
cess of this famous vegetable preventive, in-
vigorunt un<> corrective has w irked a com
plete revolution in the general treatment us
disease. At first the dogmatic members of
the faculty would not believe in it. “What!”
they exclaimed, “cure liver complaint with
out meicury, chronic rheumatism without
colchlc im, fever and ague without quinine!
Impossible 1” But the most obstinate incre
dulity must yield in the end to practical dem
onstration. From that time to the present
dyspepsia, biliousness, intermittent fevers,
muscular diseases, nervous complaints and
constipation have vanished under the oper
ation of the great specific, in at least ninety
per cent, of the coses in which it ha9 been
used as a remedy for those ailments, while
as a preventive of all maladies generated by
change of climate, sudden revulsions of tern-
pel at u re, epidemic poison in the atmosphere,
and unwholesome water, its beneficial eficcts
have been so obvious uniform as to secure
the most perfect confidence in its properties
as an antidote, safeguard and cure.

The Greeley Ticket.
We have given our readers copious intelli
gence from all parts of the country in te-
gard to the status of tbe Gret !ey tfcket It
has made a storm, alike among the^Ib publi-
cins and Democrats. Large numbers of
Democrats have come out openly in favor of
the Cincinnati nomination. Tbe Tennessee
State Democratic Convention, after nomi
nating General John C. Brown for Governor,
declare in the platform adopted that Greeley
and Brown deserve the support of all patriots
as against the Grant faction, and deprecate
Democratic nomlna'lcn* by the Baltimore
Convention as unwise, unnecessary and
dangerous, an 1 instruct tl.eir delegation to
ihe cor. v-rn'i'-T* t j votf nj-tin-? a tnnrnftiion.
These resolutions wire adopted by a vole of
721 to 133.
Virginia and both Carolinas reein disposed
to take the aime position.
I*: G’*orgia the sentiment is divided. W
have hud letters from various parts cf the
State, from prominent Democratic sources,
urging warmly a decided stand for Greeley
by the Democracy. We have b- en surprised
at the extent of this view in many quarters.
'Ve confess very frankly tiht between
Greeley, Davis, Adams and tlie other Repub
lican Reform leaders, Greeley is as accepts
any of them, and we camioi under
stand that Deru«>cratic disciimiaalion t ;atcn
swallow one man, and yet make wry faces
at another of the very" stripe. Open
the door once to the p-ttsibility of Demo
cratic support of a Republican Candidate,
and hyper-critical personal objections to this
or that candidate become out of plnce.
A sort of contagious enthusiasm has swept
the country. We prefer not to take position
under such excitement There is ample time
to reflect, and reflection aud discussion are
necessaiy. We are not of those who blindly
and precipitately rush to rash conclusions
either way. This is a grave crisis. The op
portunity is a collossal one for g<>od or eviL
A grand chance for the restoration of con-
stituth nal liberty seems in the grasp of the
good neople of the land. That chance is not
to be trifled with; not to be inconsiderately
acted upon; not to be thwarted of harmo
nious Democratic use by hasty dogmatic irre
vocable fractional pledges to this or that
course, or against this or tbat policy; and
above all things not to be sacrificed to senti
mental notions of Democratic consistency on
the one hand, or broad gauge concessions of
right principle on the other.
It behooves the Democracy to be vigilant,
thoughtful, liberal, conciliatory, sensible,true,
organized, and above all things, united. We
cling to our Democratic faith like the eternal
Hebrew to his covenant, and no one longs
for the triumph of our mighty creed of polit
ical right more ardently than we do. Wedded
to principle, we have no incurable prejudices
of mere sentiment, or unalterable crotchets of
party policy. We have no disposition to re
tard the progress of reform by stickling for a
Procrustean strategy to which all people and
things must conform, or else the whole go to
the deuce.
We see a chance ahead for a .-pure Demo
cratic triumph. We don’t want to see thr.t
rashly yielded without effort. But that
chance in sober judgment shown unavailable,
we do not want the opportunity of substitu
ting a lesser for a greater evil lost by hope
less struggles for the impossible.
We must stand to our organization. Our
whole strength lies in our unbroken harmo
ny and unsevered concert. The party must
go as a unit on the line that its majorities
select.
We are watching with close scrutiny the
political field. It is too early to commit ones
self. We wish to see the full Republican
strength of this Greeley movement Wc
desire to have the action of the Grant wing
of tbat parly.
The Chicago Times, edited by Mr. Storey,
one of the National Democratic Executive
Committee, expresses our position well in the
following pamirraph:
The disruption of the Republican party,
which is the one essential effect of Greeley’s
nomination, assures tbe defeat of Grant, by
placing the election of the next President in
the power of the Democracy. Grunt mu>t
be defeated at all hazards, aud it is the firm
determination of the Democracy that he
shall not be t te next President, though the
Democratic party, in order to achieve that
result, have to adopt their life-long enemy
as their candidate. But to adopt that ene
my before any occasion for so doing ap
pears, would lie the height of fooli lines 3.
Sunpose that Grant should not be nomioa
ted at Philadelphia, as there are now signifi
cant indications, that he wiil not be; what
assurance have Democrats that Greeley
would not sell them out, “liorse, foot and
dragoons,” to their old feudal enemies? < er-
tainly no assurance to the contrary is fur
nished by the Greeley organs, who declare
that his nomination is simply the personal
appeal of Republicans against Grant.
The Republican party d srupted and hope
lessly demoralized by the nomination of
Greeley, the Democracy are masters of tlie
situation. The highest wisdom would be not
to throw away the sifuation of mastery,
either by precipitate acceptance or retection
of theoi.e Republican candidate now in the
field. In any event, it is in their power to de
feat Grant, and that, with tlie greatest una
nimity, they are undoubtedly resolved to do.
Ulysses Grant cannot be the next President
By maintaining their political integrity, it
In the meantime, we say to the Democra

Tne decision of the Convention should be
the word of command to al! D. mocrais. If,
in the wisdom of the body, it should be dc
termined to nominate a straight-out Demo
cratic ticket, every Democrat should stand
untrammelled, and prepared to enter the
contest for victory with all the vim that i<
wiiLin him, determined to conquer. On the
contrary, should the<^»nveni»on endorse x(<
platform o* the Cincinnati Convention, :tnd
recommend the support c f its nominees, it
equally important that Democrats should >c-
enpv a position to go into the contest m ter-
mined to win victory. Then how import .nt

A Chapter of Accidents.—On Monday
last, daring the annual parade of the Atlanta
Fire Department, the heavy man of the Con
stitution broke down under the heat of the
sun whilst pluckily endeavoring to keep up
with the brass bands in the procession. His
elephantine proportions secured him the
right of way through the crowd of juvenile
spectators. Ye Local followed in his wake
to enjoy the protecting shade his colossal
form afforded, and to note the incidents of
the day. Our attention was first cu-.led from
the procession of gallant firemen in the mid
dle of tbe street, to the moving mountain of
flesh in front of 09, by hearing a cty, a sort

dark -pot on the pavement, which, on exami
nation, proved tr be the remains of a small
dog. The colossus h d stepped on him!
Only a tip of his tail and the two bind feet
betrayed the fact tbat it had once bten a
purp. We shuddered at the evidence of his
tramp, and inwardly resolved to keep to the
outer edge of his shadow ^nd note incidents
and accidents. But the fact of that purp
weighed heavily on our mind—that desp fir

anything had happened.
Going up Whitehall street, my FalstofTi in

the other end of tlie car, to an angle of about
47 degrees, pitching the driver clear over the
heads of his horses and making a jam of the
passengers at the rear end. Ti.e polite c< n-

how matters stood, the modest Colonel,
blushing like a miss of sixteen summers, de

the observed of all observers. This was too
much for his modesty—he couldn’t stand it,

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
W A 8*1 IIN GTON.
Washington, May 13.—The President to
day transmitted to the Senate the corres|»op-
deuco between ihe United States and Great
Britain, relative to tbe treaty of Washing ion,
accompanied wit a a brief message. The en
velope bore the word “confidential.” A short
time after the reception of the documents,
the Senate went into executive session, w hen
they read, it appears, the design of the Presi
dent which was to ascertain the views of the
Senate as to the new article to the treaty,
withdrawing the claims for conse
quential damages from the American
statement of tne case with the provision
in sutatance that whenever Engbuid
or the United States shall be at war, and the
other a neutral, the belligerent will make
no complaints for any indirect, remote or
consequential injuries or losses resulting from
a failure to observe neutral duties. As it is
known that Great Britain will agree to the
proposed new article, and that both govern
ments are anxious to save the treaty by this
means, it was thought proper to place the
Senate in possession of all the facts in order
that the Executive, acting upon their advice,
migh’ pursue tlie negotiation so as to secure
the consummation of the treaty in a manner
satisfactory to the two governments.
There was a brief debate after the reading
of the documents, involving the merits of the
question. A motion wa* made to remove the
injunction of secrecy, but this failed, and the
message and documents were then ordered to
be printed in confidence and referred to He
Committee on Foreign Relations. There is
scarce a question but that the Senate will ad
vise the acceptance of the additional article
to the treaty. m
The Court of Claims adjourned to-day
until November. All the important cases
have been adjudicated. Several c scs go

claims ami the position taken by the Govern
ment The hotue was full and the galleries
crowded. Gladstone ou rising was greeted
with cheers. He said in order to allow an
opportunity for discussion on the statements,
ne was about to make he would bring a
formal motion for adjournment of the House.
After alluding iu terms of praise to the
forbearance shown by Parliament dur
ing the controversy, he said be would
commence his narrative of its pro
gress, the 18th of January, when it first
became known to him that claims for iodi.
rect damages had been presented at Gene va
in the American case her Majesty’s govern
rnent protested on the 3d of February, that
indirect claims were not within the scope of
the treaty of Washington, nor within the in
tention of either party to the treaty. Secre
tary Fish replied in April, that he thought
the Geneva Board ought to decide the en
tire question. The tone of Mr. . ish’s dis
patches were most courteous. In the
meantime a communication was received
fr om Mr. Schenck, the American Minister,
suggesting another course which would
be acceptable t*> England and America. This
was an interchange of notes setting forth
views, terms, and conditions, wherein b fib
wouid agree to proceed to aibitration. We
accepted this suggestion, continued Mr.
Gladstone, and caiTiwl on a correspond* nee
altogether by telegraph. Oa Wednssday, the
8th instant, President Grant submitted a
proT-orition to tbe Un<ted States Semite.
Un Thursday we ascertained tha< the pit,|io-
sition was not precisely a* we understood it
should be, because of tbe brevity of the
cable dispatch, ou which it was based. On
Friday a draft covering the letter of our
views’ was forwarded to Minister S her ck,
and although lengthy, it wus immediately
telegraphed to Washington. On Saturday,
Mr. Schenck informed Graovx.le that the
Preaiuent bad accepti-d aud the S**n..te enter-
lamed that dralL Gladstone thought this
lad was almost equivalent to raii cation,
lie beuged further forbearance of the
now th->t the question w.ts approaching a
satisfactory Laue, honorable alike lo !>olh
t ations, and if successful in thi*> negotiation
Her Majesty’s Government had a right to
exact praise for sealing »uch a momentous
question.
The last proposal on the part of Great
BrUaiu sustained the position taken by the
government in the Queen’s • peech at the be
ginning of the present session.
Gladstone, in conclusion, said he thought
he was not too sanguine in predicting that
the negotiations would result in a settlement
which would iedound to the credit of both
parties.
As Gladstone took his scat, there was lond
and repeated cheering from all parts of the
House.
Disraeli followed with thanks to the
Premier for his statement He should not
seek to embarrass the government, all par
ties were united in a desire for a peaceful
and an honorable settlement

The Alabama Claims.
The negotiations between the government
of the United States and England have sav
ored more of the strategy of a game of seven
up than anything else we can think of just
now. The object on both sides seems to have
beeh to count up tricks against the other, and
with this idea various things have been turned
up as trumps.
A nice game of diplomacy it has been. The
Grant administration and the Gladstone
ministiy appear both to have been animated
by one luminous idea, viz: to make capital
for continuance of power. Each was to win
lots of glory by diplomatically pi lling the
wool over the other’s eyes, and lte able to go
before the country *nd say to thegood people,
see what I have chicane 1 out of my duped
antagonist”
Not tue measure of right has been the
standard of demand and concession, but the
fullest extent of exaction.
The result is tbat both governments have
over-reached themse’ves, and there
about to be a failure of the treaty. We see
still, however, a small hope of success. It
involves some more of their seven-up strategy;
but what of that, if by the innocent, but tre
mendous perversions of the cypher used for
communication, the blunders of purposed
trickeiy can be revoked, and a case of fatuous
loggerhead be amicably i.rrangcd. Here is
tbe road to success:
“As there is every probability of the later
correspondence becoming public hy being
laid before the British Parliament.it ts deem
ed important to state that most of this cor
respondence has been exchanged by cable
ana in cipher, and that as a natural conse
quence errors are to be expected to come to
light when comparison can be made between
these telegrams as sent and received. It is
even now stated that some, though probably
not any-very material nart of the misunder
standings tliat have occurred with reference
to the views and propositions of the two
governments, must be assigned to these un
avoidable errors of the cable and cypher.”
This fortunate cypher is a splendid scape
goat for every tiling wrong, and affords a.
chance to go back on every abortive proposi
tion on cither side. Put it all on the infernal
cypher. Say the cypher has lied. Take
back all the absurd tricks. To tiansmqgrify
that cypher was as easy as eating. Hurrah
for the convenient, the blessed cypher. In
its rascally mistakes do we see the solution
of all troubles of this great perplexity, the
Alabama claims. Bicssed tie that fellow who
thought up this superb cypher ffodge.
