I BtuocsNiss and Indioestion—These two com-
I vlaiats sre more general at this season of the year
than at almost any other. They are closely akin;
for biliousness always involves an impaired digos-
' lien, and indigestion is nocessarily an accompani
ment of a disordered or torpid liver. Happy the
man or woman who can boast of a stomach that
has never felt the horrors of dyspepsia, and to
whom that great socretivo agent, tho liver, has
never given pain or trouble. Not one in a thousand
nan lay claim to entire immunity from irregularity
in these organa How, then, shall they be regu-
lated? Not by poworful catharthics, alternated
with ordinary stimulants, hut by a medicinal invig-
orant, like Uoatetter's Stomach Bitters, which oom-
hias, in duo proportion, tho tonic and tho alterative
principle. Wherever there is a church, a school-
bense, and a genoral store, this famous medicino
-it be procured. No villago merchant finds it
Pmdent to be without it, for itis inquired for every
day by every class. Tho workingman buys it be
cause it increases his capacity for toil, and is fol
ded by no reaction. The effect of tho ealnbri-
cua toots, herbs, etc., of which it is oomposed, dif
fused through his system by the pure stimulant
which forms tho basis of the Bitters, is most health
ful and invigorating. Tho scholar, tho merchant.

OITY AFFAIRS.
WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 9, 1871
Riot is Eatonton.—Wa bavo the following
from a well-known and reliable gentleman
this city, now on a visit to Eatonton. He has
our (banks for the same:
Eatonton, Gi-, Angnst 8, 1371.
Editor* Telegraph and Messenger: The elec
tion for connty officers commenced here abont
8 o’clock this morning. Everything went on
quietly for some time, the negroes crowding the
polls and adjacent grounds as usual. They
seemed to have everything their own way, when
at last a dispute arose between a negro and
whito man, and each drew weapons of defence
but before any barm was done, another negro
drew a pistol to take sides with negro No.
At this jnnctnre an officer of the town arrested
negro No. 2, and made off with him to jail To
this a crowd of negroes objected, and attempted
to rescue the prisoner from the officer,
course they wero resisted, and then began what
seemed at one time to bo a riot of the first
water. Tho negroes formed in line, and they
say opened the firing first, and thon a general
and indiscriminate shooting commenced. One
white man got a slight cut in tho neck, and two
negroes got shot. Tho affair wound up by most
of tho negroes beating a hasty retreat from the
town. After a few boars order was restored and
the voting commenced. I beard several gentle
men tell tho colored men to go and vote,
mattered not how, so they behaved themselves
and kept quiet. Dr. James A. Etheridge is the
Democratic candidate—a Christian gentleman
and a man of cultnro.
We offer no apology for surrendering our ed
itorial space to tho following communication
from an intelligent and-talented young gentle
man of this city. Tbero is, just now, a dearth
of local news, and the writer feeling unwell,
gladly gives it preoedenco of nnvtliirg he might

bnt it is now growing wanner. The large Bum
ber of visitors at the “Alleghany” this season
attest its increasing popularity, every cottage
room and tent beiDg filled, and letters and tel
egrams from nearly a hundred persons asking
for accommodation, aro lying in the office.
The extension to the already large hotel was
completed last week, and a largo force of work
men are now engaged in building additional
cottages.
The Springs ore approached from Alleghany
station, on the Virginia and East Tennessee
Railroad, by a road winding between the moun
tains, crossing and recrossing the headwaters
of the Roanoke river, op a gradual ascent for
three miles and a half, when the dost covered
traveller comes in sight of the long line of
white cottages, and tho strains of mnsio from a
splendid brass bond echoing among tho high
hills, tell him ho has reached his journey’s end.
As the stage cntcrB tho grounds he iB struck
with tho enchanting beauty of tho place—for
tho bock-ground to tho picture is tho range of
mountains, at the baso of which stand the
main hotel, and stretching ont from it toward
the south and east, aro tho two rows of cot
tages, designated respectively “Paradise” and
'Purgatory,” the latter being tho most pleasant
division in this instance. I don’t know why it
is so called, without it is because it is “down
hill.’’
The lawn in front is largo and artistically
plannod, and shaded with most handsome trees,
through which curve the most delightful of
graveled walks, most of them loading to the
spring, which is in tho centre of the grounds,
and, in appearance, similar to the Congress
Springs, at Saratoga. Tho high wall of moun
tains shuts us in entirely from tho outside
world,—even the gap through which wo enme
being lost to view after we reach the springs;
and the scenery, no matter which way the eye
turns, is as grand and boantifaias can be found
in Virginia.
It recalls the times when
“Wo climbed the blue Virginia hills,
With Jackson and with Lee,”
and if, for a moment, wo forgot it the presence
hore of so many of our old leaders, Generals
Hardee, Early, Lawton, Toombs, Gilmer, Her
bert, Major Morrow, of Lee’s staff, that
“free lance” of the old Confederate days,
Harry Gilmer, and others whoso names we all
remember, would remind us of them.
Seats just largo enough for two, aro scattered
about at convenient distance, and in the evening
when tho lamps that dot tho lawn are lighted,
tho whole place is invested with sufficient ro
mance and loveliness to influenoe even my se
date and invalid fellow-traveller. But our de
sire to see the fair company of ladies in all the
bewildering beauty of the ball-room wooes ns to
follow the distant notes of music, and wo soon
find ourselves on the floor enjoying the sight as
well as the dance. In looking around tho room
wo are convinced that Georgia has certainly
done her share, in the contribution of loveli
ness she has made to the Alleghany Springs in
the last four weeks.
The Misses Lawton and Miss Gilmer, of Sa
vannah, Mrs. Coh Crawford, Miss Russell and
Miss Baker, from Augusta, and Miss Toombs,
of Washington, who has saddened tho hearts of
many by leaving for Greenbrier, have all been
much admired. . - r_iv
As regards “creature comforts,” we have
them all. An immense ioe-house, filled during
the winter, supplies ns in lavish quantity with
ice ; our “julep builder” has attained the high
est perfection in his art; spring chickens “grow
spontaneous” all through tho mountains. Our
landlord and his assistants do all in their power
__ make their guests comfortable; cooks and
servants understands their duties, and if an in
valid, under all these circnmstaneos, together
with tho wonderful curative powers of the wa
ters, cannot find health, he ought, at any rate,
“seo Venice and die.” Tho Montgomery White
Snlphur Springs are distant ten miles; the Yel
low Sulphur thirteen, and tho visitors aro quite
neighborly—excursion parties coming and go
ing from one Springs to tho other almost daily.
Wo Macon people get tho Teixohatii and
Messenger regularly every morning, and I need
not tell yon bow much we appreciate it.
I must teU you of another notoriety we havo
bad here, in tho person of the hon. t. j. speer,
of Georgia. When he first came he was placed
at the same table with General Toombs, who
did not seem to relish it much, and mildly sug
gested that if there was no other place for him,
to “send him to’tho kitchen, asjall of his asso
ciations were there 1 ” He was not much sought
after while here, and, after spending a solitary
kind of life for a few days, he left, R. L. C.
Houston Counts Fair.—Wo publish this
morning the list of premiums to be awarded at
the Houston Connty Fair, to be held in Fort
Valley on Friday next, 11th instant. A strong
delegation of visitors from this city will, doubt
less, be in attendance, as they can attend tho
Fair and return home on the same day. The
Executive Committee have the thanks of the
editorial staff of tho Telegraph and Messenger
for an invitation to be present, and some one
of us will be glad, indeed, to spend the day
with the good people of Old Houston, and see
the best they nave on exhibition. Read over

DAY DISPATCHES.
Louisville, August 8.—The Democrats carry
the State by about 30,000 majority. All the
Democratic candidates for the Legislature are
elected.
Dublin, August 8.—The royal visitors have
left Dublin. Not a cheer was heard from the
lined streets through which they passed. The
silence was only broken by a few hisses. The
conduct of the police at Phoenix Park, which is
denounced as inexcusably brutal, embittered the
people.
Washington, August 8.—Last night Grant
sent Iris private secretary to Pleasanton, re
questing his resignation. Pleasanton declined
to resign; whereupon the President determined
to suspend him and appoint Douglas. The mat
ter wilt probably be consummated to-day. The
papers appointing Douglas and suspending
Pleasanton are in course of preparation.
New York, August 8.—Arrived: Adger and
Scotia; among the passengers by the Scotia,
was Madame Parepa Rosa. Arrived out: Cala
bria and Ismnlia.
Columbus, Ohio, August 8.—Hon. Thomas
Sparrow is dead of lock-jaw.
New York, August 8.—Within the past few
days one steamer and six vessels have been
quarantined for yellow fever from the West In
dies.
London, August 8.—A dispatch from Dublin
says the city is quiet, but the excitement of tho
popnlacs has not subsided. It is generally
thought that the sympathizers with the Fenian
prisoners will not give up the idea of holding
another meeting in spite of the prohibition by
the authorities. The sentiment of tho majority
of tho people is in favor of granting amnesty
to all the Fenian prisoners, bnt violent opposi
tion to tbo authorities is deprecated. The be
lief was that the royal visit will be made an op
portunity by the Government for the release of
the imprisoned Fenians. The' populace are
very bitter against the Prince of Wales because
he has not interceded for amnesty. The whole
police force is still on tho alert, and tho military
consigned to the barracks in order to be ready
if called upon to aid the police. Thus far no
deaths are reported, but it is thought from fivo
to ten prisoners will die of injuries. Hone, the
Superintendent of the Police, is in a critical
condition, but hopes are entertained for his re
covery. It is yet.uncertain .whether the Gov
ernment can legally prosecute Mr. Smith and
other leaders of the demonstration.
Versailles, August 8.—Advices from Algeria
say ihe insurrection is routed and Meonededem
is subdued. The revolt, however, continues in
the province of Constantine—tho most eastern
of the threo departments of which Algeria is
composed. Numerous mardors are still com
mitted by the rebels in that province, and sev
eral forests have been burned.
The court martial for the trial of the Com
munists opened yesterday, and the indictments
wero read. Some of the prisoners treated the
proceedings with levity.
NIGHT DISPATCHES.
-'Charles Francis
Washington, August 8.
Adams has signified his acceptance of tho arbi
tratorship under the Washington treaty. The
President has departed. Pleasanton was form
ally suspended. Douglass has been appointed,
and is now in possession of the office. No Cab
inet to-day. The postal money order with Ger
many goes into effect October 1st, 1872—the
North German Lloyd’s Company requiring one
year’s notice.
The immediate causes assigned for Pleasan
ton’s removal in official circles are that the rev
enue was not collected with efficiency; rever
sal rulings of his predecessors, and making de
cisions, the effect of which was to needlessly
lessen the revenue, and acting on important
matters wltbont consulting Boutwell, wherein
Bontwell had paramount authority. Pleasan
ton’s letter concludes: “In justice to tho pub
lic interests placed under my charge, and the
importance to the tar payers of a proper solu
tion of these difficulties, I must respectfully
decline to tender you my resignation, and trust
ing it may bo deemed inappropriate, I will
again request that your present determination
may be reconsidered, and an investigation of
tho matter of diffeionco between the Secretary
and myself, be referred to the Attorney-General
for his legal opinion. With great respect,
[Signed] A. Pleasanton, Com.”
New York, August 8.—Thurlow Weed re
turns from Europo, tho trip failing to improve
his health. In the Court of Special Sessions
to-day, NathanKoyofski,(Jew,)cbarged withdis-
turbing the Methodist congregation of Alanson
church, by working on a sewing machine du
ring tho hours of diviuo service, in a room op
posite ,the church, Judge Shandly found him
guilty, but suspended sentenco. The Judge
said no disturbance to religions worship of any
kind could be permitted. Tho Jew, he said, had
iV»A coma »>3s’«— if iViAjr ilia.
turbed his religions worship on Saturday.
Savannah, August 8.—The sheriff’s posse,
which went out last night to arrest the negro
excursionists who had taken possession of two
cars on the Savannah, Seaboard and Skidaway
Railroad, returned this morning. The ne
gro men had all left the captured cars and took
to the woods, leaving their women and children
in the cars. They wero brought to the city, and
then allowed to go to their homes. No arrests
have yet been made.
St. Louis, August 8.—In the National Labor
Congress the President read the annual mes
sage. Delegates from Middlo, Western and
Southern States reported. None from New
England.
Posio Rioo, August 8.—The state of seige
was raised yesterday throughout tho Island, and
quiet reigns. The Captain General has resigned.

Mr. Bontwell claims powers which, under the
laws of Congress governing that Bureau, aro vest
ed solely in tho Commissioner. The question is,
therefore, purely a legal one, and the precedents
of our government have been to have such
questions, when appealed to the President, re
ferred to the law officer of the Government for
his opinion, and upon which the President
would base his decision. This course was pur
sued by Presidents Jackson, Tyler, Pierce, Van
Bnren, Fillmore and others, and has been
the uniform practice of tho Government.
Knowing these facts and believing them to be
the proper way to settle any difference of view,
as regards the law, which might exist between
the Secretary and the Commissioner, I
addressed you a communication some time
since, making an appeal for yonr de
cision of the powers of the Commissioner
under the act of July 20th, 1868. This appeal,
as I understand it, is not to be entertained, bnt
the subject is to be treated rather as a personal
difference between tho Secretary and myself.
In this connection it is proper to add that the
personal conduct of the Secretary, has been
such as to preclude the tender of mv resigna
tion, until some opportunity is granted for vin
dicating my administration of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. A. Pleasanton.

Versailles, August 8.—The court martial
has commenced the examination of witnesses.
Ferre, one of the accused, attempted to
make a speech in defence of the Commune, but
he was not permitted to proceed. He denied
that he had ordered the burning cf the Palace
Ministry of Finance. Several witnesses swore
Ferre personally forbade the release of prison
ers in the Protective while it was burning.
Ferre and Asse wore both insolent in speeoh
and manner, and were frequently reprimanded
by the court. The court-room was crowded
with spectators.

Washington, D. O., August 8, 7:30 P. M. )
The barometer has fallen slightly at the
Rocky Mountain stations, with increased tem
perature since Monday afternoon. The pressure,
after rising considerably in the Southern and
Gnlf States, is now stationary or falling, but
remains highest in that region. The falling
barometer, which, on Monday extended over
the Lakes, has been followed by a rise in the
extreme northwest. An area of very low ba
rometer has moved very rapidly eastward, and
is now central in Northern New York. South
westerly winds prevail in the Atlantic States and
westward to the St. Lawrence and Ohio Riv
ers. Northwesterly winds aro reported from
Lakes Michigan and Superior. The tempera
ture has generally fallen eagjt of tho Missis
sippi, with increased wmos in the At
lantic States. The area of threatening
weather and local storms has moved rapidly
eastward, and now extend along the coast from
Maine to North Carolina. Light rain and clouds
are reported from Tennessee southward. A
wind storm of special severity appears to have
passed from Virginia eastward to Cape May.
Probabilities: Tho barometer will probably
rise, with partially cloudy and pleasant weather
on Wednesday north and west of Ohio. Ciondy
and threatening weather is probable for the
Golf States. Fresh southwesterly winds, with
feasant weather, for the Middle and Eastern
