PRESIDENT JOHNSON’S FUTURE.
Few of our Presidents have ever retired
from the White House with less of real
regret than will uccompany Mr. Johnson’s
farewell on the 4th of March. Aud with
equal truth it may he said that few, in re
tiring, have ever better deserved the
thanks and good wishes of the American
people for sincerity of purpose and an
honest desire to administer the office for
the best interests of the country. In say
ing which I do u off mean to be understood
as expressing the belief that the United
States has never had a better President—
but that, judged by the purity of his mo
tives aud his unselfish intentions to do his
whole duty, he far surpasses auy of our
recent Executives. That he has com
mitted great errors, he himself will, I
suppose, not be disposed to deny. It could
hardly have beeiPotherwise with a man
surrounded by the adverse circumstances
that have beset him since the beginning
of his administration. For some of these
he is responsible—as, for what may be
called the father of them all, which was
the failure to surround himself with a
Cabinet of strong, vigorous men iu hearty
accord with him, instead of retaining the
evil counselors of his predecessor. But it
is easier to criticise now than it would
have beeu to act then. J udging his admin
istration its n whole, the «*nn«»rusHxro
people of the country must eudorse it aud
thank him for it.
In a former letter I intimated that it was
the intention of the Conservative party iu
Tennessee to nominate Mr. Johnson next
fall for Governor. This I understand now
to be fully determined upon. Little doubt
is entertained of his election. At auy
rate, he has always been extremely popu
lar iu Tennessee. He knows the people
there, and they know him, and believe
him to be sincerely and honestly devoted
to their interests. I do not know who
will be his competitor iu the race, but
probably some carpet bag scrub from
Massachusetts, or some Radical convert of
the Stokes pattern, who wanted him hung
in 1961 for being a Union man. If elected
Governor, he will undoubtedly be chosen
to the Senate in the place of Fowler,
whose term expires in 1871; and
then we may look for lively times
iu that chamber of gilt-edged im
becility and loyal gammon. It will be
worth while to go to some trouble to elect
A. J. to the Senate, just to give him a
chance to vindicate himself and his Ad
ministration, which I understand to be ,
his sole object in remaining iu public life i
after (he 4th of March. His natural com- I
bativeness, not always iu place when
exhibited from the Presidential Mansion,
will nave full vent in the Senate debates, i
ami I know enough of what it is in his
power lo expose to promise rich develop
ments in his “bouts” with some of the
leading Radicals. He will exhibit some
of the recent inner workings of the Radi
cal party, to the intense delight of all but
tbe R .tiicals. So let every conservative
man in Teuuessee aud elsewhere put his
shoulder to the wheel and give A. J. all
, the help he can to get him into the Sen
ate. If he do not pull the mask of patriot
ism from some of the hypocrites iu that
body “ then am Ia soused gurnet.”

WHOLES VLE CORRUPTION.
Thteiiug ami Plundering al the National Capital. |
Don Piatt writes as follows in his !
last letter to the Cincinnati Commer- j
cial:
It sounds like exaggeration to say
that the entire service of the Govern
ment is rotten. But such is the fact,
and one treating of the subject is puz
zled and appalled by its variety and ex
tent. He scarcely knows where to be
gin, and finds that there is no end. And
here another difficult}* attends the re
porter. He works up one piece of ini
quity and spreads it before the public,
and the indignant public seizes on that,
and follows it up in blind wrath to the
exclusion of every thing else. And so
fifty rogues laugh and steal while one
rogue is being run down.
j ust now we are after the railroads.
To read the daily journals one would
suppose that the railroad rings had
monopolized Washington, and if we
could only drive them out, we would
be safe in the promised land, and could
lie down and sleep the sleep of innocence
and peace. To give away the public
land, and create huge monoplies is bad
enough, but this is the smallest iniquity
after all. The lands, to be made avail
able. have to be sold and settled, and
before they can be sold and settled the
railroad must be built. And. although
we have squandered the public domain,
filled the pockets of the ring—and creat
ed a huge monopoly —yet there is some
return. But from the whisky ring
that runs the Treasury; the National
Bank ring, that robs'the Government
while skinning the people; the manu
facturing monopoly that lives on boun
ties voted by the Government; the
Indian Bureau ring that fills its pock
ets with money stained by human blood,
there is no return.
For these, penitentiaries are built in
vain, the gallows stand idle, and hell
alone yawns ready, while our Govern
ment is run by them, and socially they
are recognized, and wives and daugh
ters, in moire antique, silks and satins,
amidst stunning upholstery, received
in smiles, and are bowed to with pro
found respect.
Come to Washington if jou want to
make consort with these-thieves. They
throng the avenues, fill the hotels,
crowd the lobbies, and, like a million of
rats about a rotten crib, or sharks
around a stranded whale, they eat, and
fight, and gorge.
If au indignant public singles out one,
to run it down, all the rest join in the
chase. This is a part of the game.
While one is being pursued, all the rest
steal unnoticed.* And the game just
now is to run down the railroad ring.
All over Washington you hear these
hounds—each standing over the plun
der he hides—howling in wrath at the
railroad ring.

MACON. GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY
Scrofula, or King’s Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of" it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending “ from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation ; ” indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Iliin who says, “I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children.”
Ita effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have fur less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous iu their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family lias its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
I o cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood hv an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
AYER’S
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most effectual remedy which tire medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedial* that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of tire
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, hut also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such as Eiiuptivr
and Skin Diskases, St. Anthony’s Finn,
Rose, or Ehvsipkxah, Pi.uimks, Pustules,
Blotches. Bi.ains anil Boils, Tumors, Tetter
and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Deiiii.ity, and,
indeed, ai.i. Complaints arising from Vitia
ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief
in “ impurity of the blood " is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
AYER’S
Ague Cure.
POII THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Item it te lit Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, mad Bilious Fevers, indeed
f°r the whole clnss of discn.cs originate
lug In biliary dernngenient, caused by
the Malaria of Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these afflicting disorders prevail. This
“ Cure ’’ expels the miasmatic poison of Fever
and Aoup, from the system, and prevents the de
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The largo
quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach of every body ; and in bilious districts, where
Fever and Ague prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
tion. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittent, is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu
tion, by it are left as healthy as if
Fever anil Ague is not alone the consequenre of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism , Gout, Heartache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hyster
ics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis and De
rangement of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This “ Cure ” expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cutes
them all alike. It is an invaluable protection lo
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec
tion than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the protection
