MILLIONS Bear Testimony to their
Wonderful Curative Eifects.
They aro not a vile Fancy Drill!;, made ot Poor
Ktini, Whiskey, Proof Spirits nud Refuse I.i
--q u ovs doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste,
called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” Ac., that
lead the tippler onto drunkenness and ruin, but are a true
Ucdicinc.madc from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from nil Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are tlie GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and
A Ei FE GIVING PRIXCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all
poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con
dition. No person can take these Bitters according to
directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones
are' not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and tho vital organs wasted beyond tho point of repair.
They are a Gentle Purgative an well ns a
Tonic, possessing, also, the i>cculinr merit of acting as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organa.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS in young or
old, married or single, at tho dawn of womanhood or at
the turn of life, those Tonic Bitters have no equal.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma
tism mid Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent and Intermittent [Fevers,
Diseases of tlie Bleed, Liver, Kidneys and
Bladder, these Hitters have been most successful.
Such Diseases arc caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Ilcadachc.
Pain in tho Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness of the Chost
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of tlie Stomach. Bad Taste
in the Mouth. Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of tho Heart,
Inflammation of tho Lung*. Pain in the regions of the
Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, art) the
oflsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which rentier them of unequalled effi
cacy in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart
ing new life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Totter, Sal-
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch. Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dis
eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, arc literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by
the use ol theso Bitters. One bottle in such cases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse tho Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through tho skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanso it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in tho vcius; cleanse it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep tho blood pure,
and tho health of tho system will follow.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth
whore body is exempt from tlio presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of tho body that
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed theso livhig monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

Tui’a.iDAY, Ma) Dili.
The Mai*oo Ac Augusta Railroad Compa
ny vs. Frank L. Little, executor. Re
lief and Constitutional Law, from
Hancock ; and
•Jackson B. Johnson, administrator, vs
K. Stokes Sayre, et. al. Constitution
al Law, from Hancock.
Montgomery, J :
1. That clause of the third para
graph of the first section ol Arndt
-2 of the C iistitution of Georgia,
which provides that “No session of
the General Assembly, aiier liie sec
ond under this Coiisdiuiion, shall
continue longer than forty days, un
less prolonged by a vole ot two
thirds ot cadi branch thereof,” ap
plies only to ilic General As-cuiliK
which was lo meet alter ihe Slat
government had been fully recon
structed under ilit* so called teenii
slriictiuii Acts of Congress, not to
the L'gislalme <>l the provisional
government organized um!>r those
Acts.
2. The Supreme Conn of the
United States have said, in While
vs. llarl, ct. al., infra, “the action ot
Congress upon the subject (the re
consiruction measuics) cannot be
inquired into. Thu case is dimly
one ill which the judicial is hound
lo follow the action of the political
department of the government, and
is concluded by it.”
While comp> lied In accept ibis
dogma as law. and as perhaps liue
in a limited degree, so tar as laels
accomplished are concerned, a- a
general proposition l dissent hum
and protest against it.
3. Under the recent decision ol
the Supremo Court ot the United
States in the ease ol Wili am White
vs. John it. Hart, and Win. L). Da
vis, decided December term, 1871,
we ate compelled to hold, liiat the
reconstructed provisional govern
ment ol Georgia did not expire be
fore June 12, when Congress
enacted that the Stale of Georgia
having complied with the reconstruc
tion acts, and tlie louriccmli and iil
leenlh amendments to Ihe Consli: u
lion of the United States having been
lalified in good faith by n leg and Le
gislature of said State, ills hereby
declared that the Si ite ol Georgia is
entitled in representation in the
Congress of the Uni ed Stales.”
Upon the admission of tier Senators
and Representatives under that act,
says the Court, “ihe condonation by
the national government became
complete.” The conclusion to our
minds is inevitable, that up to the
passage of that act, at least, the pro
visional government provided lor by
the act of March 2, 1567, slill ex
isted.
4. It follows that the session ot
the Legislature of 1870, which pass
ed the Act of October 13tb, of that
year, was not a session of the Gen
eral Assembly, after the second un
der the Constitution in the sense in
which the Convention of 1808 used
these words. Hence the act under
review is not invalid because passed
by the Legislature more than forty
days after the commencement of its
session.
5. It is at least doubtful whether
the first four sections of the Relief
Act of October 13th, 1870, prospect
ive in their operations a3 sound tules
of construction require them to be
understood, so far impair the reme
dy ol contracts made prior to June,
1865, as lo he unconstitutional un
der the lenlh section of the first Ar
ticle of the Constitution of the U. S.
It is therefore the duly of the Court
to refuse lo declare them unconsti
tutional.
6. The first (our sections ot the
Relief Act of October 13lli, IS7O,
must he read in the light of the title
lo that Act, aud iu so far as they are
not variant from it, they do not vio
late the sth paragtaph of the 4th
section of article 3 ot the Constitu
tion of Georgia, and to that extent
the Court should give them effect.
Therefore, in all suits pending al
the time of the passage of the Act,
for debts founded on contracts made
prior to June, 1565, the taxes must
have been paid, and the affidavit
filed within six months after the Act
passed ; and in all suits commenced
after its passage, at the time ol filing
the writ, on pain of having the case
dismissed on failure to do so.
7. If Congress, or a Stale Legis
lature pass a law, within the gener
al scope of their constitutional pow
er, the Courts cannot pronounce it
void merely because, in their judg
ment, it is contrary lo the principles
of natural justice. Calder vs. Bui),
3, Dallas 399.
8. A bill of interpleader being fil
ed by an administrator against the
creditors of an estate represented by
him, whose claims are antagonistic,
and some of the claims being found
ed on contracts entered into before
June, 1565, it is not necessary for
creditors holding such claims to file
an affidavit of the payment ot taxes
with their answers, their claims hav-
No. 3
ing been brought into court by the
:uimi:iislrator and not by tin uiselves.
On the trial of the case, however,
they should make it eleariy appear
that the taxes have been paid to en
title them to a decree tor the pay
ment of the claims.
9. Subscriptions to the stock of
the Macon and Augusta Railroad
Company, made belbre June, 1565,
stand upon the same tooting with
other debts contracted before that
and ite; and in suits against the sub
scribers tor the amount of their sub
-cription, the payment of taxes and
'lie tiling of the affidavit, as requited
by the Relief Act of IS7O, is neces
sary.

non and Augusta Railroad Company

Judgment reversed in the case of
Jackson B. Johnson, Administrator,
vs. R. Stokes Sayre, on the ground
dial tin: creditors holding claims
•ounded on contracts made before
June, IStio, should have proved pay
ment of taxes on those claims to en
tide them to a decree lor the pay
ment of the claims.

Barbarity.
Is the persecution of the people of
South Carolina never to slop? Are
the political exigencies ol G< ii Grant
and Gov. Scott of such nature dial
the State where Radicalism has
most triumphantly asserted itself,
must lie kept in order by military
terroiism supplemented by down
right murder i Ever since United
Slates Marshal Johnson was super
seded in his office by ex-Congress
man Wallace, itie Federal iroops
have been kept active in securing
ti.e seven counties pla<ed under
maitial law, and have arie.-ied huge
numheis of persons and <lrugg< it
ihem of] io plates remote Irmn their

In Spartanburg the troops are
riding over the country night and
day, making arrests everywhere.—
‘Old men ol eighty and ninety years,’
writes a merchant, ‘ some even on
crutches, are brought and lodged in
jail. Some of these old men, I feel
satisfied, have r.ot been awav from
their homes at night for twenty
years.’ What wonder is it that-hun
dreds of the citizens are leaving that
county, not from consciousness of
guilt, but because numbers of per*
fectly innocent men have already
been arrested, and no man knows
whose ‘ turn may' come next ?’
The very man who has driven
these people, under the pressure of
intolerable wrongs, into the perpe
tration of acts which the law forbids
are the active agents of the Govern
ment in a dragonade as fierce and
bitter ar.d unspairing as the peise
culion of the French Protestants by
Louis the Fourteenth. In the latter
case the animating cause was reli
gious bigotry. In South Carolina it
is political and sectional hatred.—
Sometimes, however, the proceed
ings have a grim grotesqueness that
mixes oddly and curiously with the
more tragic elements. But little more
than a week ago four men from York
county —who were indicted at the
last term of the Uuited Stales Cir
cuit Court for the Charleston Dis
trict tor conspiracy and murder—
pleaded guilty of conspiring to pre
vent negroes from voting. The
murder charges were then with
drawn. Are we to understand that
the accusation of murder was
trumped up to frighten these men
into confessing to a lesser offence, or
are we to infer that in Radical esiis
(nation to keep a voter frotn the
polls is a greatet crime tb»n to take
his file ?— Exchange.
