MILLIONS Bear Testimony to their
Wonderful Curative Effects.
They are not a vile Fancy Drink, made of Poor
Ram, Whiskey, Proof Spirits aud Refuse Li
quors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please thq taste,
called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” iic., that
lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true
Medicine, made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, 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 the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
They are a Gentle Purgative as well ns a
Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or
old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at
the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rlieumn
tlsui and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent aud Intermittent Fevers,
Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and
Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful.
Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache,
Pain In tho Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness of the Cheat,
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart,
Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the
Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the
oflsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which render 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. Tetter, 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, are literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by
the use ol theso Bitters. One bottle in such oases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse ft when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it When it Is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the 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
whose body is exempt from tk„ presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worm, exist, hut upon th« diseased humers end slimy
deposit, that breed these tiring: monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuge,, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

It is impossible, says the Balti
more Gazette, to dwell with too
much earnestness upon the impor
tance of thorough aud complete un
ion in the Democratic ranks. There
never was a time in the history of
our party when more self-abnega
tion was demanded ; —when a great
er amount of personal sacrifice was
needed to secure the defeat of our
reckless and unscrupulous oppo
nents. That the political situation
is full of peril no one can doubt;
that serious apprehensions for the
future are entertained by some ol
our best and wisest statesmen, is a
fact that calls for the most prudent
action, not only on the part of the
leaders, but also among the entire
rank and file of the parly. That
ihe large majority of the Democra
cy will unhesitatingly obey the de
cision of the Democratic National
Convention, whatever its voice may
be, is -unquestionably true, but the:e
are some who, at this time, openly
annoui.ee their intentions not to be
bound by its action, unless the de
cree registered by that body shall
be in strict accordance with their
own views and opinion. This is as
unwise as it is impolite. Men who
permit themselves to be thus madly
carried away by the passions and
prejudices ot the hour, may find,
when it is too late, that they have
unwittingly aided in the peipetua
tion ofthe worst Administration that
ever cursed any country. It should,
therefore, he the daily duly -of ev
ery Democrat to urge upon his
brethren the vast importance of un
ion, harmony and conciliation, in
the utmost degree, and to counsel
everyone, within his reach to look
with entire confidence to ihe Demo
cratic National Convention as the
only recognized representative of
the party whose behests should be
heard and obeyed. The only hope
of the Radicals is in the dissensions
ol the Democracy. By a division
’of our ranks they expect to con
quer. They will use every effort to
foment discord in our midst, and
when they accomplish their work,
they will laugh at our calamity and
mock when our fear comes. In
two weeks more the National Con
vention will assemble in Baltimore.
It promises to be the largest and
most intelligent meeting of freemen
that ever assembled in the Union.
Thousand from all quarters of the
Republic will gather here to join in
this grand demonstration against the
corrupt liiction now in power. In
fact, as well as in name, let it be
the oracle of ihe great Democratic
party. By that sign we will con
quer; but in no ottier way cau we
hope for success. The prize is with
in our grasp, ll we fail to secure
it, it will only be because we neg
lected io profit by the reaching of
all time that in union is strength,
and that without it, the best and
holiest cause may be lost.
Miss Nellie Grant and Queen Victoria.
The Sari Francisco “Chronicle”
has received through private sources
a letter written by Miss Nellie Grant
to Queen Victoria, previous to her
recent visit to Windsor Palace. Its
charming simplicity and thorough
gooiF sense—if it be authentic—
put beyond question all doubts as
to the nature of the visit and the
leeling which prompted it. It reads
as follows :
Langley’s Hotel, May, 1872.
My Dear Lady and Queen —I am
embarrassed at the honor of an ol
ficial request, given through a high
officer, (yous Lord Chamberlain, I
think,) to be presented to your Ma
jesty. 1 should dearly love to see
you, that I might tell rr.y mother
and father lhall had been thus hon
ored. lam but a simple American
girl; that l am the President’9 daugh
ter gives me no claim to your re
cognition as a sovereign. If, with
the kind lady who is actfng as my
chaperon, I might visit you, I should
be very glad. Our Secretary of
Legation hints at some political sig
nificance in this opportunity. I can
not so interpret it, and would not
like to be so received, because it
would not be right, as 1 am nothing
in American politics, and I am sure
that my father would not desire me
lo appear any other than as my
simple and very humble self. If,
with this explanation, your Majesty
will allow me to visit you, I shall
be greatly honored and be very
proud.
I have written this note of my
own notion, and because l think it
the right thing to do. I am your
obedient servant and admirer,
NELLIE GRANT.
The reply is equally .refreshing,
and betrays a spirit w'hich does
more honor to the British Queen
than multitudes of other aclions-for
which her subjects have loudly ap
plauded her s
Windsor Cajhj^
Miss Nellie Grant —l have instruc
ted Lady —■ to convey to you
this note, and we shall receive von |
as the daughter of your honored
parents without the intervention of
high officers o‘ the Stale. I shall
accept your visit as an “American
girl,” and there shall be no other
significance in the fact than your
kindly expressed desire to sec the
lady and not the sovereign. 1 shall
find it pleasant to forget that I am
Queen in receiving you to-morrow
afternoon at our palace ol Windsor.
VICTORIA.
Trot them Out. — We want to see
who tiiev are, how much they bag
ged, and who helped them.
Is It So? —The Atlanta Whig is
informed by a member ol the Com
mittee of Investigation, that “the
great bulk of the money of which
the Stale o! Georgia was defrauded
in IS7O and the two years previous
has been traced to Democratic
hands.” Is this so * It is hard to
believe, but there has long been
much whispering on the subject,
and we hope that, if true, these
Democratic “hands” will be held
up to public reprobation. The peo
ple demand that the Investigating
Committees expose all, without dis
tinction, who have plundered the
State. If men calling themselves
Democrats have united with the
vile faction of negroes and carpet
baggers lo rob the public treasury,
let their names be known and then
guilt be punished, whatever may
be their standing in the community.
Georgia wishes to pul the brand of
Cain on every robber, and make an
example of him that will deter evil
doers for all lime to come.
Georgia Bonds. —The following
notice from ex Goveror C. J. Jen
kins, will show what is being done
with our State bonds:
The Slate of Georgia, through
her duly authorized agent, the un
dersigned, with profound regret an
nounces to the holders of her bonds
maturing during the current year,
her present inability lo pay them in
legal currency. The causes which
have led to this result are too noto
rious lo need recapitulation beic.
Acknowledging the sacredness of
these obligations, and avowing her
fixed purpose to redeem them at the
earliest pussil le day, she NOW ten
ders to the holders this alternative.
First—She offers them bonds bear
ing seven per cent, interest, author
ized by the present Legislature and
ready for delivery, in pqual ex
change for matured six per cent,
bonds.
Secondly—To those who may de
cline this exchange, she pledges her
self to pay, at her agency in New
York, or at her Treasury, semi-an
nually, the contract interest as here
tofore, on presentation of the bonds,
to he stamped with the payment,
until the bonds can all be paid in
full. The interest due on them at
maturity, as well as all coupons,
(tailing due on and after the Ist
July p oximo,) of bonds issued by
said Stale prior to 2st January, 18GS,
will be paid by the National Bank
of Commerce, the financial agent of
the said State in the City of New
York.
That bank is also prepared to
make the exchange of seven per
cent, for six per cent, bonds as
above proposed.
C. J. JENKINS,
Agent for the S'ate of Georgia.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Savannah News, in a late letter sum
ming up the action of the State Con
vention, refers as follows to the en
dorsement of Gov. Smith by that
body :
Tine endorsement of Gov. Smith
was hearty and unanimous, and was
well deserved. And yet the “ring”
men are doing all they can to un
dermine his administration. A fresh
report is started against him every
two or three weeks. The last one
is that he interfered to prevent the
passage of a bill to relieve a certain
well-known citizen of his political
disabilities. Having heard of this
report, I called the attention of the
Governor to it, this morning, and he
pronounced the whole thing an un
mitigated falsehood. So far from
doing anything of the sort, he said
he had done all he could to have the
disabilities of all our people remov
ed.

Business Capacity
; A Story o/ Jackson Diggings.
One sunny f forenoon when the
town ‘roosters’ with the usual sprink
ling of ‘pilgtims’ It id ‘eorraled’
t heir first drink for the day at Un-
I cle Dick’s ‘shebang,’ and repairing
to their usual stations, we noticed
| anew character among them. lie
I was a short, sharp looking man of
| middle age, witi* ‘pepper and sail’
[ sprinkled firtir and heard, and clad
ii the dirtiest of minors shuts and
buck.-kms. He soon put on the
airsofa ‘traveled man’ among his
gre-eii-born listeners, and it was ev
ident that they had struck one mine
at least that just suhed them.
‘Where ate you from?’ asked one.
‘Just down from the mines, ‘Bard’
Jackson digging.’
‘When did you come in?’
‘Right now—l just ar:iv’—l slept
down iiete by the river last night,
tinder the cotton woods.’
1 ‘You must be dry then —let’s lake
svihin.’
‘Thank ee, neighbor, don’t care if
I do take a nip, though I seldom
drink—my bed-room was mighty
chilly this mornin’.
And they proceeded to pay their
respects to Uncle Dick. Returning,
wiping their lips with respective
butternut, and buckskin sleeves,
and resuming their perches, the con
vet sat ion proceeded:
*\V ell, how’s times up there, any
way?’
‘Oil, they're just bully, old fel.’
‘Then what made >ou cornea
way?’
‘That’s on acount of rnv health,
you see, and for a change of cli
mate. ’
‘Just so, but it seems to me I’d a
staid there iftitrie was *n good.’
‘Well, now stranger, set in’s its
you, 1 don’t care it l tell yon all
about it but you bet your sweet life,
Jackson digging is a mighty lively
place. You see I’m an old Califor
nian, and, and I ain’t much on the
work. I soured on that long ’go.
But I’ve got a uonder/ul capacity
for business. You see, 1 struck
this ere camp near about a month
ago, when it was mighty full of pil
grims. It I’d had a liti le money, 1
could have made my pile, hut 1
hadn’t nary d—d dollar. That’s
just my d—d luck always, hut 1 be
gun to look around and I soon found
a fellow what had a stock of groce
ries—mostly whisky—and before
long 1 got right well acquainted
wi h him, I found that he hadn’t a
d—d bit of caphcity for business
but be was heavy on the drink.
Well, I told him about my capacity
for trading and ’specially for mer
cantile pursuits, and he was so
struck with my capacity that we
.-truck a pardnership to onc’t. He
was to furnish the money, and I
was to furnish the capacity and we
was to be equal pardners. So we
packed up the hardware, dry goods
and sich and pulled out lor Jack
son diggins. As soon as we got
there and set our tent up and be
gan tradin’, my pardner he took
down drunk and he staid drunk fo
inor’n a week. By that lime I’d
sold out the whole stock, I tell you
stranger I’ve a wondetlul capacity
for mercantile bussiriess. The wliis
ky bein’ all the gone, of course my
‘pare!,’ he got sober and I started
him off down here to Rary (Aunaria)
for anew stock. In about lout or
five days he came back pretty well
fixed considering, and went lo tra
din right and left, but rny pardner
he took down drunk agin. He was
the d—dest fool 1 ever saw. Well,
in about a week the goods were all
gone, and some how or nother, there
wasn’t no money on hand. The
pardner hadn’t the least bit of ca
pacity. When the goods was all
cleaned out, he pretty soon begun
to sober up; but I found out after
wards that be had a jug lull hid a
way. When he got sober enough I
proposed to dissolve the cahootner-
ship, and be finally agreed to it, so
we closed up the concern and divi
ded the assets, and— ’
‘But what in the world had you lo
vide?’
‘What did we divide?’ Oh, yes;
pard, he look drunk and I took the
diarrhea, and l just come down here
to the vally on account of my health,
and to look for another pardner. 1
say, stranger, have you a stock of
goods' 1 for if you have, by jinnig
with my capacity for mercantile
pursuits, you can jist make your e
lernal fortune up at Jackson diggins,
for it’s mighty lively place, I tell
you.’

The EuKltix Law.
It is a matter of just pride to
every thoughtful ami liberty-loving
man that the infamous Ku klux law
is a thing of the past. In our joy
over this, we are apt to forget that
many of its effects still survive; our
Northern prisons still hold many
persons whom that law has enabled
partisan spile to condemn to weary
years ol confinement. In the Alba
nv penitentiary is a Southerner bv
the name ol Moore. This is the
storv he tells:
“Before the war I was a well to
do planter in Alabama. I owned
many slaves, which constituted my
wealth.—The events ol the war re
duced me nearly to poverty. At its
close 1 gathered together the frag
ments of iny ruined estate, hired a
few of tny former slaves, and com
menced life anew. All went well
with me until a month or six week*
ago, when I was suspected of be
ing a Ku kiur, arrested by a Uuited
Slates marshal, given m hasty trial,
found guilty, sentenced, and two
weeks ago was brought from Wash
ington to this prison. My term is
ten years .”
Anti-Dust Railroad Cars.—Qa
Saturday afternoon (says the Phila
delphia Record) an anti-dust ex
periment was made on the fast two
o’clock express cars to Atlantic
City. There were ten well filled
cars in the train, each having a can
vass apron on both sides, covering
the spaces betwen it and the rad*-
The end qjf these aprons lap|>ed,
thus forming continuous canvass
horn one end of the train to the oth
er. Ou a part of the trip the speed
attained was about forty miles per
hour. There was not the least par
ticle of dust in the first seven car*,
but there appealed to be something
like dust in the eighth, ninth and
tenth ears, hut not iDough to show
on the garments of the passenger*.
