Tub Career of a Grat Rkmkdy.—Twen
ty summers have elapsed since it was briefly
announced that a new vegetable tonic and
alterative, bearing the name of Hostelteris
Stomach Bitters, had been added to the list
of Preventative and Restorative medicines.
The modest advertisement which invited at
tention to the preparation stated that it had
been used with great success, in private prac
tice, as a cure for dyspepsia, bilious com
plaints, constipation and intermittent fever.
It was soon discovered tiiat the article pos
sessed extraordinary properties. The people,
of every class, tested its merits as a tonic,
stimulant, corrective and restorative, and
found that its effects more than fulfilled their
hopes and expectations. From that time to
the present its course has been upward and
onward, and it stands to-day at the head of
all medicines of its class, American or im
ported, iu the magnitude of its sales and its
reputation as a safe, agreeable and potent in-
S ’ant and restorative. For languor and
ity, lock of appetite and gastric distur
bances, so common during the summer
mouths, it is absolutely infallible. Indiges
tion, bilious disorders, constipation, nervous
ness, periodical fevers, and all the ordinary
complaints generated by a vitiated and hu
mid atmosphere, vanish under its renovating
and regulating influence. This is its record,
avouched by volumes, of intelligent testimo
ny, extending over a period of a fifth of a
century, and comprehending the names of
thousands of well known citizens belonging
to every class and calling. In Europe it is
thought a great thing to obtaiu the patronage
of royally for a “patent raedicinq,” but Hos
tetler’s Bitters 1ms been spontaneously ap
proved by millions of independent sovereigns,
and its patent consists in their indorsement.

Ten Bkcausks —A hundred reasons might
be given why Lyon’s Kathairon should be
used by every intelligent human being in
preference to cvciy other preparation for the
mir, hut ten will suffice. Here they are:
Because it nourishes the fibers, multiplies
them and makes them grow: because it thus
prevents them from withering and bleaching;
because it removes the scurf and dandruff
which el okes them as tares choke the golden
grain; because it keeps the scalp cool and
ireveuts eruptions; because it renders the
lair as lustrous os satin; because it makes it
pliant and elastic; because it is a fragrant
ami delightful dressing; because it does not
soil the pillow, the cap or the hat; because
it is withou* a rival in cheapness, and because
other article sold for the same purpose,
in this or any other country, possesses all or
even one-lialf, of these invaluable properties.

GKEELEV Ota GRANT.
A'Naniferto from Casta*M. Clay,
White Hall, Ivy., July IS, 187a.
To the People of Kentucky:
The platform and the candidates of the
Cincinnati Convention are before you. The
first avows all the great principles upon which
our government was founded, and which
have given our country a growth and pros
perity unknown before in history. The can
didates are men of unquestioned ability, pa
triotism and honesty. There is no liberty
without law, and no form of government
can exist but a despotism when Uie Treasury
is robbed with impunity. U. 8. Grant
has usurped all the powers of govern
ment, the judicial and legislative being add
ed to the executive. He habitually and
obstinately violates the laws of the land,
and allows the Treasury, know-
ingly, to be robbed. To-day we live under a
centralized despotism, impelled by the lowest
instincts, tastes and self-iudulgence; which,
unlike European aristocracies, shares nothing
with the people, but absorbs all their sub
stance for camp followers who are equally
corrupt and vicious. The Philadelphia Con
vention, composed, as was never before seen
in our nation, of ofTce-holders and time
servers, have shown themselves fit followers
of Grant Nothing remains to us but the
union of all lovera of liberty and manhood
upon the Cincinnati nominees, or defeat
and the unlimiti-d lule of the Grant con
spirators. Kentuckians, we have no
love for party or personal past or future as
pirations above countiy. Join us, then, and
save the nation. Let honest men rule; let
amnesty restore the States to their legitimate
rights: let the military yield to the civil
power; let the Notional Government return
to constitutional law, and let all citizens of
evciy race and condition stand equal iu civil
and political liberty before the law. We
have a majority on these great issues. Let
not party, inferior questions, or personal am
bitions lose us ana the world self-govern
ment Now, to-day, we must save ourselves;
another day may be forever too late.
Cajssius M. Clay,
Chairman Prov. Ex. Committee.
The above puts the difference between
Greeley ai d Grant well, and coming from a
Republican, and a very leading one at that,
it luts a peculiar significance in showing that
the Republicans who support Greeley under
stand him as being the advocate of those
Democratic principles which have been sub
verted during Radical rule, and a return to
which is necessary for the country's good.
We arc certainly willing to accept their
own exposition of their views from the Lib
eral Republicans, who, to maintain them,
have revolted from the dominant party in the
very zenith of its power, and while in the
enjoyment of the full patronage of the gov
ernment If sincerity is to be tested by ac
tion, these men are sincere. They leave the
flesh pots and take the chances of defeat,
when already in power, to check the abuses
of their own party. They withdraw from a
victorious army because it has abused its
victory, aud they seek to defeat, that very
army that they assisted to success. They
boldly proclaim political doctrines Ibat.for
years they have opposed, and this because
trial has shown them that those doctrines
alone can secure the prosperity of the coun
try. Alarmed jit the result of experiments
they shared in, they urge a return to the true
faith.
Yet there arc those among us of our own
party who see no difference between these
Republican revoltere from despotism and
political heresy, and the Grant faction that
clings to its despotism and heresies.
Cassius Clay, the able Kentucky Republi
can, whom we quote nbuve, has told the dif
ference well. We commend his card to our
friends, that they may see how closely the
Liberal Republicans stand to the Democracy
in urging the re-cstablisbmenl of a constitu
tional government. After long years of
weary fruitless fighting for constitutional
liberty, the Democracy .sees a gallant baud
of her enemies seeking an alliance to establish
that liberty.
It has seemed to us a shocking blindness to
fact, to say that as they now stand, there is
no difference between Greeley and Grant.
Let them have been together os harmonious
ly as they may in the past, they are now
widely asunder, pointedly antagonistic. One
represents the popular up-rising of indignant
freedom against a rule of despotism, lead by
the other. One stands in revolt against a
centralization of power that the other en
force?.
Let Greeley be as blade as he can be
painted. The devil must have his due.
Greeley to-day heads Republican opposition
to what Clay brands as “centralized despot-
80 far the Democracy can approve,
and should approve.

New York, July 1,1872.
New York is empty. Everybody that was
not off for Europe has gone to Boston. Some
peoj * find it difficult to realize this, for the
street* tnd street cam seem to be as full a*
ever. But my own impression is, that the
general opinion regarding the number of peo
ple in any one place is quite a mistake; the
Imputation of New York, for example, in
stead of being a mdlion, is about a dozen—a
baker’s dozen, perhaps—more or less. But
as likely to be less as more, and this simple
dozen multiply themselves into what ore con
sidered separate entities, but which really
have no individnal existence, only occupy
space, for it is the original dozen, and the
dozen only, who turn up everywhere, who
are iniquitous, who see everything, know
everything and do everything for all the rest
THIS IS NOT FASHION.
No, won't yon take something rise instead ?
I am as tired of them as the lady was who
went to her dressmaker recently, and said,
“anything, only do not dress me in the
fashion.” What is fashion to-day ? Is it the
mass of rubbish we see piled up on the coun
ters of the great dry goods stores? Is it the
medley we tee in the street? Is it the non
descript that crowd the cars and steamboats?
Is it the bedisized dames who begin to flourish
at the watering places ? If it is any or all of
these, I beg my reader* to have none of it,
bat return to the petticoat and short-gown of
their great grandmother until they can find
a rational kind of clothing. How pleasant it
was during a brief visit to the country re
cently, to meet a charming lady of
THE OLD SCHOOL.
She could not bo called an old lady,
though her hair was silvery white,
for she was more vivacious than most
young girls, aud could entertain you
with stores of incident and anecdotes acquir
ed by reading, and a rich and varied personal
experience.
Moreover, she was still slender, straight,
aud delicately fair. Her skin had never
known the touch of powder or cosmetic, and
a Frincesee dress of fine nainsook, the seam*
only marked by lines of tine needle work
embroidery, outlined her form as gracefully
as though she hod been sixteen instead of
sixty.
flow gladly tlie eyes rested on the soft
flowing unbroken lines of that simple white
dress! How well that and a long black loco
tunic of the same general style and outline
became the wearer.
w I have not had a new dress in ten years,”
she said to her visitor.
“Wait another ten,” was the reply.
“ NOTHING FOR NICE ”
Fashion has really run itself into the
ground—there is nothing left. “ Nothing for
nice,” as a lady recently aud piteously ob-
served. Bilks and laces that used to be kept
for grand occasions, ore trailed in the street,
and all the associations, the sentiment of
dresses destroyed.
Girls with bustles aud paniers and ruffled
skirts carry bundles and sell papers in the
streets. What can fashion do to be fashion,
but throw them off?

Democratic meeting in Berrien Coun
try Georgia
Nashville, June 22,1872.
Messrs. Editors: Col. II. T. Peeples was
called to the chair, and W. E. Connell re
quested to act as secretory.
The chairman briefly explained the object
of the meeting.
The following resolutions we* e adopted:
Resolved by the Democracy of Berrien
county, in meeting aUcmoicd, That J. D
Kniuht, W. II. Snead and L. E. Lastiuger, are
hereby appointed to represent our county in
the Convention to be held in Atlanta on the
26th insL, for the purpose of appointing del
egates to the Baltimore Convention.
Resolved, That we, the people of Berrien
county, are firm npon Democratic principles,
not yielding nor intending to acc«.ed to any
thing else; hence we the citizens of Berrien
county to the Atlanta Convention are straight
out for a Democrat for the next Presidential
campaign.
On motion, ordered that the proceedings of
the meeting be published in The Atlanta
Constitution, whereupon the meeting ad
journed. H. T. PittPLtM,
W. E. Connell, Chairman.
Secretary.
ie reason is that articles carried over to the
next season lose their value, and as an im
mense stock is required, iu order to satisfy
the edigeant demand for styles and shades and
qualities, the merchant is a loser rather than
a gainer by every season’s stocks.
Take, as examples, neckties, lnces and par
asols. Shawls and round thread lace veils
have given place to jackets and straight
squares or three-cornered veils; high colored
ties to fancy cravats of the most de icate
shades, and the buff parasols, scolloped on
the edge and lined with silk of a blight con
trasting color, to large inclined parasols of
neutral tints, bordered with rich tinge to
match.
Said a merchant the other day: “You sec
that counter—it is covered with parasols
which 1 sold last year from five to ten dollars
each; now I cannot get two fifty for them.
In that drawer are $5,000 worth of thread
lace veils dead stock.”
The rush to Europe helps to kill this class
of trade. Ladies who are going, waiting till
they can buy gloves, necktie, and a lace col
lar for $1 50, instead of spending that amount
and more on one of these articles.
The question of where the pins go to has
never been satisfaclorially answered, but it
is really funny to see where the parasols and
neckties go to. Take a street car on Sunday
and you shall find them, bright reds and
green tied round stout necks and proudly
clasped in short fat red hands. The thriftiest
little lady in the world would give up the
point after seeing such a sight os that
WATERING PLACE TOILETTES.
But Rosa Matilda wants to know about
toilettes for the watering places. She is going
there and what she is to get in addition to her
white and her pink ana her gray and her
blue and her mauve. I will tell you, my dear
Rosa Matilda, you must get a dress of
“crash,” just such crash as the cook uses in
the kiteken for “rollers,' towelling in fact, and
not a fine kind either. Make of it a loose
blouse which tie at the back with a broad,
pale rose colored sash. Get a broad-brimmed
hat trimuted up a la Dolly Vardcn and
trimmed with black and rose-colored ribbon,
and if your skirt is black silk and narrow
flounced and your bustle sufficiently large
and your “lie” shoes sufficiently high you
will cause a sensation.
One of a number of dresses prepared for
Newport, consists of a pale blue silk dotted
all over with pink rose buds and trimmed
with plaitings of white organdy muslin cat
oat and edged with lace. Square boddice,
basque back, demi-iong sleeves finished with
plaitings of muslin. Another toilette con
sists of a tunic of embroidered batiste bor
dered with deep guipure lace the shade of
the material, over a skirt of pale sea-green
faille, covered to the waist with narrow
pinked-out flounces. The ornamental coop
ing up at the back and sides is effected by
mixing the guipure lace with loops and ends
of sea-green faille ribbon.
A very pretty dinner dress is of pale blue
silk trimmed with narrow flounces, pinked
out upon the edge and over-capping each
other. A vest of ecru faille is added to the
bask waist, and trimmed with rich lace of the
same shade. The coat sleeves are of ecru
faille with two puffs, one at the top, the other
near the elbow of blue silk. A rpw ol
guipure insertion of the ecru shade laid over
the fault between.
A “Pamela” toilette of cretonne chintz,
trimmed with black velvet bow is worn for

FASHIONS FOB PLAIN FEOPLE.
The blouse waist and blouse polonaise are
invaluable to those who wish to dresa plainly
yet stylishly at small expense, a white skirt
waist, two skirts plainly hemmed, the uj
one slightly draped at the sides, and a b
tace jacket, constitute a costume adapted
either for church or a picnic; while a plain
skirt, with a long blouse polonaise slightly
looped at the sides, is the best possible method
of making the pretty striped prints and
ginghams which are so useful for house wear,
vet are not unpresentable in the _ street, at
least in the country. The blouse polonaise
is simplv the blouse waist with a skirt. It is
an excellent style for washing materials, and
should be made simply without ruffling or
puffing. The box pleating at the back and
sack front gives it sufficient fullness, and
care should be taken to give somewhat more
of fullness to the skirt than is
when ruffles are added. The blouse
waist is pretty in strii>ed and dot
ted linen, in plain lintn lawn, and in col
ored cashmere. It can be worn with skirts
of black silk, buff linen, striped print, or
sprigged mitelio. It is hardly ever out of
place, and looks as well over the wash-tub as
in the parior. It is, moreover, cool, easily
“done up,” inexpensive, and durable. It is
not adapted to thin materials; it is pre-emi
nently useful, and looks as much out of place
in 'Swiss muslin or chambeiy gauze as* a
“An’s shirt.
The blouse polonaise is particularly adapt
ed b washing materials for suits which are
rendered dowdyish in the extreme by being
cut into “ Marguerites” and “ Dolly Vardens,”
and puffed and bunched and ruffled into all
«or(8 of unmeaning and grotesque forms. It
requires little or no trimming, and finds an
effective finish on a broad, black sash made
iih hanging loops and short ends.
Fine sprigged lawns make very pretty
church or street dresses macc perfectly plain,
hemmed skirt, French waist, and worn with a
black lace shawl draped over the shoulders
and fastened in at the back of the waist with
a wide ribbon sash the color of the sprigs in
the dress. English straw bonnet trimmed
with ribbons of the same shade, brown, lilac,
light-green or blue with a pink or the rose on
one side, and a black lace veil, and the cos
tume will be ladylike enough for a duchess.
Plain self-colored costumes of ony material
are now happily relieved by handkerchiefs of
black lace worn upon the neck, the ends
crossed and fastened in front or crossed and
thrown back. Made of large size and rich
lace with long rounded ends. They are used
by many ladies to throw over white evening
dresses when the falling dew warns them
that some slight protection is necessary.

and that there is no indication of a formida
ble revolt
It adds, there will be but two c mdidates;
for our part wc shall advise nobody to vote
for Grant, and as between the remaining al
ternative of voting for Greeley or staying at
home, we have no counsel to«»ffer. U ur duty
may more clearly appear after the canvass
has made some progress.

Constitution Office, )
Atlanta, July 1,1 o’clock, p. u. J
Remakes.—This morning very warm with
some little appearance of a shower daring the
day. Trade opens tolerable fair for Monday.
There were no new features in the trade of
last week. A tolerable good business was
done in ail departments.
Money.—We find no quotable changes for
several days past in local financial matters. A
conservative policy is pursued by lenders,
and a generous treatment is extended to le
gitimate dealers.
Crops.—The reports received during the
week from the crops in this section were of a
flattering nature. There lias been some con
flicting reports from some sections relative
the wheat crop, still, doubtless, the crop is
fine one. Both com and cotton are growing
rapidly under the influence of the genial rays
of the sun. H there is any objection to be
entered in regard to the crops, it is that we
fear that a majority of our agricultural
friends have not planted com enough for their
own use, and next spring will be compelled to
adopt the suicidal plan of purchasing again.
Every week sales of com are now being
made by our merchants to planters. .What a
reflection that Georgia planters do not raise
com sufficient for home use. From January
January bur farmers toil over cotton, pur
chase mules, horses, com, bacon and hay,
and at the end of twelve months have no
money in their pockets, no provisions on
their premises, and their credits strained at
the8torcs. This policy keeps Georgia In its
impoverished condition.
Flour.—There has not been enough new
flour received yet to materially effect the
market, and good grades of tlie old stock arc
held rather steady. This week will probably
make some decided changes in prices.
Corn.—Stocks of white corn are small
and holders not willing to make concessions.
Yellow ii in r^uch better supply and offering
freely.
Meats are stiff, with better demand. Can
vassed hams are advancing steadily, and
choice brands are held at 141c.

Tha committee to examine book# of the Ordinary
report them nicely and lrgtbiy kept, exh.hldng au in
crease of revenue from license, etc. They recom
mend that all catraye be sold at tec Court Uuusc, trd
that tho Legislature pass a taw to that effect. They
also recommend that the Ordiiuxy attach a copy of
tho law In regard to aelling liquor to dninkcu men to
all liquor licences. Tha books of the Clerk of the
St perior Court the committee haw not had tim to
investigate, and recommend that the Incoming Grand
Jury examine. The committee find the book# of the
Ordinary in the financial dc.*artmcnt neatly and, #o
far as we could see In the. time allowed tm, are car-
recUy kept. It la our opinion that the expense ac
cent aa perquisite# In keeping thccounty pricoa are
unnecessarily Luge.
The Committee on Roads make no report, owing to
the time being consumed on special jades.
Tnc committee to Investigate the condition of the
Alms House have been so dueely confined at the
court house they are unable to report.
We have visited the county prison and find it an
elegant, beautiful and comfortable building, reflecting
credit upon the Ordinary and county; every attention
has been given to health aud scemity In its construc
tion. Wo recommend that some attention be g*cn
to thj Court House or Cly Ball.
The grand jury recommend that the Ordinary have
Peachtree road extended from Its terminus at city
limits In North avenue, on original land line, to what
taknown as tho big poplar, believing thtt tho neces
sities of that portion of the county demand iu
The Committee to examine the Tax Receiver's
books report the taxable projxnty $17,3 892; pol
and professional tax; $5,063 00. Press of time has
prevented us from examining the book# of tee Sheriff.
The Receiver's books are neatly and property kept.
The Committee to examine the books of the Treas
urer find them kept In a business-like manner—clear.
Intelligible and correct.
They find the receipts from October, 1871, to this
Term $45,610 31, and disbursements $58,070 08, leav
ing a balance on hani.of $4,708 ta. As aa a faithful,
honest and competent men he has no super'or.
Wc, the Grand Jury, fecl^grateful to hia Honor
J. L. Hopkins for tho kind and courteous uunner in

Wc tke Grand Jurors selected, sworn aud ranpaa-
uclled for the twelfth week of.Fulton bup^rior.Oourt,
beg leave to make the following general presentments,
to-wit:
The Grand Juries proceeding ns during the present
Tetm have gone over tho work very tlMNfeuBfciy,
therefore we have fken relieved of much duty that
otherwise would have devolved npon us.
Throngtl proper oonun>*teee they hare examined
it ) tho vti'lous county offices and report that the
tecuure of the Cou-t of Ordinary are nlcc’v and
legibly kept, reflecting credit upon oar Ordinary and
liia clerk. Thta office baa collected a ml‘paid lo tho

Court, thu sum of $767 SO on account of liquor
license, etc., and since September 26.18 >8, the vucot
$4,128 70, showing an Increase of rcvexrau trow
licence, cstrays, etc.
Different Grand Juries, throngh committees and os
a body, have visited the uew County Pri-ou, nud ah
join In pronouncing it an elegant, cuwfor hble and
safe building, a credit alike ta th; con uly ami the
Ordinary. E . cry attention has been given to tbe tc-
coiity and health of the inmates tu its consiructi .l.
Tha Treasurer•> books axe kept in a bu-lm a-like
uumter, clear, iutoiigiblc aud comet* His r edicts,
from the lost terra of this Court to the higtnning of
thu present term, were $42,843 31. Illsdlsl uracracnts
Were $33,070 6S, leaving a balance on huid $4,709 03,
which, however, and mote, has been expended ilvce
the commencement of this term of thu Coot t
1 he Committee npon Aim# Uou jc report 81 ii tun. tee,
81 of whom are at the ckaigo of the county aud to at
thuchaigcof tin city of Aitauta. Wc are Mkti&iiul
that this system of-providing for thu poor ta thu best
thtt can be inaugurated.
The committee on the hooka of tho Ckk of the
8npcrior Court, find ’hem nicely and coirectly kept.
A book known as a “ Gtmcial Guide,” gotten np by
the Clerk of Superior Gouts has been examined, ui.d
found to bo of intrinsic value to thu pu blic, and it ta
recommended that he be compensated fo: iho mile.
The book* of the Sheriff, Tax CoDocior, aud Tax
Receiver are neatly and cotrectijr kept
The public roaqs of thu coon:/ are generally In
good condition, as reported by tho Coairalltes upon
Road*, and the bridges in goo J repair.
The Grand Jury for the flrat week of the prorent
term appointed Wm. A. Wilson, Thomas Moore, B.
F. Vklkcr.'E. M. Taliifcm), and Jainc. M. Ch.].m«a,
members of tho County Board of Education, under an
act of thetate session of the Lrgtalalnrc, who have
since been commissioned .by th# Governor and sworn
In by the Ordinary. *
In view of the heavy expense attending tho present
protnctcdjtcrm of the Court, an das It is tkdy that Use
next Fall Term will be equally protracted and ex
pensive, wc would most rcapcc’fully, yet earnestly-
recommend that they levy no School Tax for the
present year, but thtt they nsc their best endeavor#
to get this county’s pro ran share cf the State Educa,
tlonal Fund and apply that as far as It will go to the
education of the Indigent poor chfidero.
We recommend osr Legislators and all other officers
to try to ch^ck ;thc growing tendency to ex
travagance that seems to pervade neatly all classes in
spending public money Economy should bo Uw
line of all, to the end thtt our taxes may be kept
light.
We most respectfully recommend that the Judge of
the City Court hold, at least, monthly sessions of hfs
Court, In order to keep the Jail as nearly v ie r of
prisoners as may be. 1
We recommend ago! st the establishment of Coun
ty Court in this county, believing tbat*wc now have
courts enough.. We recommend that Uie Oidbxry
levy such tax npon the State tax aa in hi# judgment
will be necessary to meet the current expenses of the
I have made the proper catealailm...
In taking leave of hia Honor Judge Hopkins, v
tender him our thanks for his unit >rra kin
ness to onr body; also to Solicitor General t lenu for
his polite aUentbra to ns.
We recommend that these prereninumta be pub
