Bo Keerds.
The Philadelphia Union League Club
took a sel 'sen vote last Taeeday on tbe
neetioo whether card-playing should be
allowed in tbe clnb house or not. After
warm discussion over the morals of
card-playing, the Lsagne went to polls in
tha morning and kspt them open till 10
st night. The reanlt was 217 voles in
favor of cards and 230 against them.
Tbo Club took tho safe course; for
while, donbtless, many a good man may
use cords ns cot abnsing them, yet tbe
Glnb should not touch them with its little
finger. The Club is believed to bo habit
uated to the most desperate games, in
which tho stakes aro the City of Phila
delphia, tho Stato of Pennsylvania and
tho Government of the United States. In
all these games it is thongbt that the
Clnb cheats most abominably. They,
through their agents, deal in fraudulent
naturalization papers and returns—they
stuff ballot-boxes and do many other
wicked things. They aro not fit to be
entrusted with cards. They would ruin
each other all to pieces several times dur
ing the year. They are too reckless and
wicked to play cards, and it is a redeem
ing feature in their ease that they are
able to see it.
Jim Crow Coming.
Tho Knoxville Tnlmne, of Thursday
reports that vast flocks of crows are fly
ing Southward. They have a roost
within one and a half or two miloe of that
city and gather theee from all directions
to the number of many thousands ovtsry
night. Then the Tribune proceeds to tell
this rather tough story:
“Some years ago the orows established
one of these roosts at a spot in tbo Blue
Grass region of Kentnoky. They eamo
in vaBt numbers, darkening tho air in
their flights to and fro, and seriously
alarming tho planters of the vicinity, who
believed that their entire crops of grain
would be destroyed by tbo eablo flyers.
They accordingly adopted 6very measure
to drive off the orows, but these obsti
nate birds refusing to be moved away,
the farmers were unable to destroy their
own prosperity. The resnlt was that all
tbo lands were so enriobed by the guano
droppings of tho birds that tboir farms
which could not bavo boon sold before
at JlOpor acre were held at $10. If the
rooet which Is now forming in this vicin
ity should attract largo numbers of theso
birds, the oircumjaoent lands will be ben-
cfltted, os was tbo Blue Grass territory
alluded to.
Now we begin to comprehend tbo situ
ation. Tho crows havo “jined in” against
the gnano men and superphosphates will
not bo wanted. Their voluntary contri
butions to tho soil will mako fertilizers
i iiperfluotiF.
Lot Jim Crow come along. Tho Tribune
assures us that post-mortem examinations
of tho birds have shown that their craws
are always foil of insects ond their larvae,
with very little corn indeed. They are
of more benefit than injury to the crops.
And indeed if thoy were much given to
oorn, let tho seed bo steeped in its own
spirit?, and they got oa drunk as a fiddler
at a wako and aro easily destroyed. But
tho Tribune pleads that they shall not bo
molosted in consideration of their valno
as fertilizers.
A National Quarantine.
Tho measures pending in Congress re
lating to tbe establishment of a quaran
tine commission for tbe sanitary protec
tion of tho country, should bo perfected
at onoo in view of tho spread of
tho plague in tho East. Tree,
this fearful postilonce has never visited
North America, but the exemption be
yond doubt was duo to tho tbon existing
imperfect moans of communication be
tween tho two continents. Notv, all is
changed. Tho United States bavo bo-
como a numerous and powerful nation
whose ships whiten every sea, and whoso
commerce reaches to tho fartherest con-
flncB of tho globe. Daily there aro con.
stant arrivals of steam ships and sailing
vessels which bring with thorn the pro
ducts and poople of ovoty land. Even
tho plaguo infected districts havo hun
dreds of American representatives who
will, if permitted, continue to correspond
with tboir friends, and doubtless advieo
them to seok refngo in tho Western
world. Lato advieoa state loo that the
plaguo” has appeared in South America,
whore tho tropical climate and broad
estuaries of numerous rivers presenting
tho eamo conditions as on tho Ganges
invito its approach and permanent lodge
ment.
It will bo seen, therefore, how impor
tant it is that every possiblo precaution
should bo taken to fenco out from our
shores this death-dealing malady.
All the European nations aro moving
in tho matter, thoso countries and dis
tricts lying most adjacent, going so far as
to stop tbo mails, guard the roads, bnrn
to tho ground infected bouses, build wails
of reparation botween « different portions
of towns and villages, "atid even sur
rounding largo cities with cordons of
troops. WS hope Congress will (ako
prompt action in tho premises. A genet
al quarantine law properly enforced
might also save tho country from another
visitation of yellow fever.
Quinine.—We seo a bill has teen in
troduced Into Congress for tbe admission
of this all-important medicine free of
dnty. This 13 one question, it is to be
hoped, upon whioh there will not be a
dissenting voice. Whatever may be tbe
needs of the government, oertainly the
life and health of the peoplo shonld not
bo taxed. And quinine is an almost in
dispensable remedy for many of tho dis
ease] of all portions of the Union. In mala-
ariol fevers it Is deemed very nearly a spe
cific, and nothing oan be substituted in
lieu thereof. But tbo prioo of this inval
uable drug at present Is enormous, and
tho poor cannot afford to usa it. AU ob
structions whatever, therefore, in the way
of its free introduction into tbe country
shonld bs removed forthwith, as a sani
tary measure of the very highest utility.
Cotton Coop Estuiitxs.—The Wall
street correspondent of tho Baltimore
Sun says tho largo cotton receipts of last
week and week before, with threatened
receipts this week of ISO,000 talas, or
nearly GO,COO bales heavier than last
year, havo somewhat changed the low
crop estimates that have been cuarent,
and 6,000.000 bales is to day the more
conservative figures on the Exchange.
The bets offered on extreme low estimates
are withdrawn.
Tlie
Nuptials ol Ktv. A. I/.
Hamilton, D. D,
Tbe writer received, some days since,
an invitation for himself and family to be
present at the marriage of his old and
cherished friend. Dr. Hamilton, tt e pop
ular President of Andrew Female College,
Cnthbcrt, Georgia. By some unfortu
nate amlrelevip the letter waa mislaid,
and not recovered until yesterday, just one
day after the consummation of the Doc
tor’s hopes and happiness. It was im
possible for this deponent to have been
present on that joyful occasion, but stil 1
be regrets that be was prevented from
making suitable acknowledgments in
advance to the genial bridegroom, for the
kind remembrancer and courtesy vouch
safed to him. Even now, however, we
ventnre to anticipate any printed account
of the nuptials by giving tbe programme
that was to be, and doubtless duly came
to paa?.
Tbe accomplished object of the Doc -
tor’s choice, Mias Eudora Moore, daughter
of Dr. R. C. Moore, of Weston, Ga., wtm
graduated from Andrew College with the
highest honors, just ten years ago, re
ceiving her diploma at tho hands of her
future spouse. At present she is occupy
ing tho position of instructor in tho high'
er branches of mathematics in her own
Alma Hater, and ia justly esteemed for
her work, and admired for her beauty
and superior acquirements.
Yielding to tbe solicitations of a host of
mutual friends, the marriago of the happy
couple was celebrated in the spacious
chapel of Andrew Coilogo, on Thursday,
the Gth instant By a felicitous arrange
ment, tho attendants comprised tho foar
lady members of the College Faculty and
tho entire Senior class, rixteen in number.
Doubtless It was quits a cortege of
graco and loveliness, as it ba3 been our
privilege to tec and listen to some of the
sweet lucubrations of tho said seniors, who
are all ot them magnificent young ladies.
This suspicions event will long bo remem
bered in Cnlbbert, and wo oan only em
brace the earliest opportunity to oongrat-
nlato tho.learned, irrepressible and genial
groom, and bis beauteous bride, at the
happy cmsnmmatioa of their dearest
hopes.
May “old Andrew,” under their joint
tiMpioes, continue lo llcnrisUand thrive,
filling the land with chaste and comely
matrons—tho Usads of a thousand happy
households—who first drew intellectual
and moral inspiration from that fane of
scienoe, to which President Hamilton has
devote?, the best years and energies of n
laborious existence.

Culinary Architecture.
The French cock* of l?ow York gave
tbeir customary annual trail and supper
at tbe Academy of Music last Tuesday
night. It may interest; tho reader lo
note some of the performances of these
oooks in the way of what (may be styled
culinary architecture. We quote from
the World:
Nothing like those tables wa3 ever
see a i Vt n at a French Cod.'.- ball before.
Among the most remarkable of the fancy
pieces was: “Lea bronillarde do Chateau
d'Ein,” by Eugeno MebI, of the Wind
sor Hotel. In the centre of a tyorld made
of mntton tallow wax a lake filled with
goldfish. Four allegorical figures formed
the columns to support a lakeside castle,
whose foundation was boned turkey in
variegated colors. The buttresses of the
tower were in green of galantino of cels,
and in tho centre was a reservoir holding
fonr gallons of water, which played
throogn myriads of apertures, notably
fonr dragons’ months. The whole piece
was snrmounted by a cluster ot armor,
cannon, muskets and swords, worked in
lard.
Adjoining this pieoe was “La Timbalo
de Henri IV.,” by the same artist.
Tbo most not8ble piece in tbe shape of
what mast bs called ichtbyarohiteotnra
wax “Sanmon n la oreola,” by Lxllonclte,
of tho Buckingham. A fine fish Is sus
pended in a net of crystalliz'd sugar, and
underneath is a bed of biles with a pond
in which are swimming swans, for whom
have been provided comfortable rngar
hoaxes. One of the designs “Les Fates
de Strasbourg,’’ was a modest peasant
girl, holding on a tray six rich pates,
mannfactnred in the most approved style
by F. Monnet. A boar’s head in galantine,
by Thorhillon, attracted universal admi
ration. The groundwork in lard do-
picted a pasture scene, with all sorts of
wild bea.' ta in tbe moat n dural attitudes,
and diligent huntsmen with uplifted guns
waiting behind bridges or projecting
recks. Gustavo Nouvel, of tho Hoffman
House, presented a steamer passing a
light-house and drawing under tho pro
jecting elopes of a bank on whoso summit
is built an elegant summer hotel. “Le
bon plaisir de ces Messieurs,” also by
Nonvel, wax formed of two columns man
ufactured of lard. In tbo middle of tha
arch Neptune ia being drawn by four
horses over a lake filled with diminutive
tront and gold fish.
Ono of tho mo9t characteristic pieces
wa3 a pyramid of sngar, on whoso sum
mit wefe perched two worthy French
gentlemen, dressed in the height of fash
ion and eDjoying tbe antics of an apo
chained in a cage. A galantine over a
basin whose rim was tastefully worked
in lard with ornamentations of lions’
heads was the contribution of the Saint
Nicholas Hotel. “Les Onblis,” by Paul
Angot, of tbo Union Leagno Glub, was
also a noticeable feature. It represented
a tower stretching over a bosquet, on
each side of which aro mendioants beg
ging for money. The whole is surround
ed by a Maryland ham.
The most showy work was tho “Piece
Sultane.” It represented a peacock with
its fall plumage outstretched standing
over a grotto. The rocks were enlivened
by a brood of partridges who were flitting
from every crevice. A rural staircase
led np to a knoll over whose Bide trickled
a mountain rivulet. The chef ot the Lo
tus sent an Egyptian maiden holding the
Lotus branch in her hand and standing an
a plateau, whoso circumference was
wreathed with garlands of Lotas flowers.
The base was decorated with smilax.

THE GEORGIA PitESS.
Colonel James H. Blount.—Onr im
mediate representative, Col. James H.
Blount, bos been doing yeoman’s scrvico
of late to tho country, in the prominent
position ho holds on ono of the most im.
portant committees in the House. Ho is
undoubtedly one of the moat active and
efficient members of that body, while his
ripo experience peculiarly fits him fer tho
proper discharge of his legislative duties.
Georgia has not a more useful member on
tho floors of Congress.
Edmunds’ Resolutions.—It seoms to
bo oonoedod that in tbe debate on Ed
mauds' resolutions and tbo snb3titnto of
fered by Senator Morgan, of Alabama
tbe great Vermonter was badly worsted
He was so much hacked as to lose tern
per, and sbow bis sense of niter frustra
tion and defeat to everybody.
The Naval Afpbopriation Bill.—
The House refused to concur in the Sen
ate amendments to tho Navy Appropria
tion Bill yesterday, and there’s promise
of a struggle in that as welt as several
others of tho appropriation bills.
The “Hums op Memphis” were always
interesting to the antiquarian, ana now
they have become so to the bondholders.
Conkllng’g Grip Gone.
Washington Special to tha Cincinnati Com me r-
ciaLl
Secretary Sherman remarked to your
correspondent to day that further contest
with Conkling over appointments to office
was not anticipated. If, however, the
New York Senator chose to renew the
contest on other grounds, the administra
tion was ready for him, bat that he would
get a higher fall than the ono of yester
day. Tho Secretary said that several
senators who had voted with Conkling
told him to-day that this wa3 the end of
their support of that individual should he
attempt to antagonize the administration
again. The Secretary thinks this will
end what at ono time threatened to be a
formidable breach in the Repatlic.m
party. He did not anticipate that the
opposition could be recognized in the
Senate either by Conkling or any other
Senator. He thought all would move
along smoothly hereafter.
On tho other hand, Conkling’s friends
are very bitter, and promise a renewal" of
hostilities as soon as their leader gets
well and on his feot again. They say he
has six and a half years in tho Senate
yet, and Senators who promised to sns
tain him in the brunt of battle, and then
backed down and went over to the enemy
when the pinch came, will be made to
feel tho weight of hie displeasure daring
tho ensniag six and a half years.
The Bane op England" will ba 185
years old the 27th of the coming Jnly,
having received its charter of incorpora
tion at that date, and having been pro
jected by William Paterson, a Scotch
man. Constituted as a joint stock com
pany, with a capital cf 221,200.000, the
whole sum was lent at interest to the
government of "William and Mary, then
much embarrassed. At the outset it was
a servant of the State, and has ever sinoe
continued such more or lees. The char
ter, granted at first for 11 years, has
been from time to time renewed, the last
renewal, subject to modification or revo
cation,having been in 1844, For a while
the businees was done in one room; now
the bank occupies, as everybody knows,
a large budding in Threadneedle street,
and employe some 800 men. Nothing
lees than a x3 note is ever issued, and
no note is issued a second time. The
average amount of notes in circulation is
£25,000,000
The Nomination in the First Dm-
tmct.—The Chronicle and Constitution
alist, in oommentiDg upon tho unexpected
defeat of tho veteran iditor of tho News
before tbo Oonvontion, saye:
Colorel Thompson is a gentleman who
bes won. famo in tho world of letters.
During hia whololife he has beon
stauneb and consistent Democrat. For
nearly thirty years be bas been tbe editor
ot tbo Savannah Weirs, ono of tha lending
Democratic journals of tbo So^lh. In
that important position his services have
been of incalculable value to the party.
Daring tho dreary years of lJcconstrnc
tion and Radioal domination ho adhered
firmly to tbs true faith. Ho was tbo
resoluto and persistent opponent of Bh!
lockism in all its shapes, and the fact that
tho First disiriot 13 nblo to elect a Con
greEsmsn is largely duo to bis exertions.
His services, as mnoh as they were need
ed and ns eagerly as thoy were accepted,
havo never been rewarded. When
and opportunity _ presented itself
tbe party to pay him a deserved compli
ment, ho was ignored and tbe honor con
ferred upon some ono else. It may well
be Eaid that parties havo no gratitude.
Perhaps tbo fact that bo had bocn oditor
of a leading journal for so long n time hod
a good deal to do with Col.Thompson's de
feat. Journalists are compelled to ex
press their opinions in print, and it is safo
to assert that no other class of men mako
so many enemies. Others givo their
views in privato conversation and to
limited andlcnce. The journalist speaks
to tbe world about him, and no ono over
forgiveB an affront or injury in print,

TnE War Reported Over.—Wo loam-
ed from reliablo authority while in Atlan
ta last week that tho manufacturers of
guano havo determined to recede from
tbo prico established by them for their
fertilizers some weeks since. Instead of
charging five hundred pounds of cotton
for a ton of guano, delivered at tho sea-
coast, tho manufacturers will deliver it
at the places where it is to ba eold for
this price, paying tho freight themselves.
This is an advance of abont twenty pounds
of cotton, os the prico was for years fixed
at ISO pounds of cotton per ton.

Atlanta Yields her Right to the
Next State Fair.—At a meeting of
Council, reported in the Constitntion,the
following resolutions offered by Mr. Crow
were adopted: , *
Resolved, That, having canvassed tho
question of oontract and claim to holding
tho next Georgia Stato Agricultural Fair
in the city of Atlanta during tbo fall of
tho year 1879, and a reply to tbo commu
nicationof Dr. H.H. Cary, member of
the executive committee of the said
Georgia State Agricultural Society, that
it is tho expression of the Mayor and
general council of Atlanta that the right
to hold snehafairin this city will not be
pressed.
Resolved further, That hia honor the
Mayor of this city be requested to com
municate with Dr. Cary, at LaGrange,
of this action and famish him with a
copy ot these resolutions.
Aa will be seen by the foregoing, At
lanta Is now cat loose from the State Ag
ricultural Society, and no more fairs will
be held in Atlanta by that Society. The
committee made a very wise and jndi-
cious report, and we believe that the gen
tlemen who were of the committee have
managed tbe affair in a most successful
manner, and that the report which they
have made will be satisfactory to every
one.

Frr.E in Albany.—A’eirx: At 5 o’clock
Tuesday t-vening an alarm of fire was
heard in tbe direction of Mr. D. Neuman’s
bouse, on Residence street. All three of
the fire companies were soon in charge
of their respective engines, tracks, etc.,
and cot many minutes passed before they
reached Mr. Neuman’s house—too late,
however, to save it from total rain, tho
whole roof being in a tremendous blaze.
The firo was caused by a stove-pipo in ono
of tho back shed rooms. By heavy and
persistent work of tho firemen and citi
zens, all tho furniture was saved. Tho
house was insured for $1,200, and tbo
furniture and wearing apparel for $1,250,
in the Manhattan nnd Philadelphia Fire
Association.

A itoiii-E Thief Captured.—Eastman
Times; Alfred Melvin, a white man from
North Carolina, took a horse from tbe lot
of Mr. P. S. Hargroves, of this county,
on Wednesday night of last week. Early
Thursday morning tho thoft was dis
covered, and Messrs. P. S. and W. D.
Hargroves took tbo track and overtook
Melvin in the woods about fivo miles
north of Eastman, with tho horse, where
they arrested him, and then returned to
Eastman with their booty. A prelimin
ary trial was hold before Wm. McRae,
Esq., and tho prisoner, failing to give
the required bond of ono thousand dot
tars, was lodged in jail to await his trial
before tho Suporior Court.
Burglary in Marion.—Buena Vista
Argus: Last Thursday night a daring
burglar entered tho sleeping room of
Major E. W. Miller, of this place, and
took from his purse, in his pants’ pocket,
tho neat little sum of $120. Sickness in
tho family required tho attention of
nurseB throughout tho night—making
tho deed more daring.
Kind friends had lightened the woight
of tho Major’s pocket book several times
before, and ho had learned to take tho
precaution when at home to place hie
pants in b private olosot just before re
tiring. The burglar took the pants out
of tbo closet, and tho next morning they
were found on the steps of the back-yard.
The purse wsb in tho pocket, and ten
dollars, from some motive, were left in it
by tho burglar, be contouting himself
with ono hundred and twenty dollars.

A Strange Reunion.—Savannah News:
Four years ago Wm. H. Hughes left his
home near Boston, Mass,, to follow for
tune on the sea, leaving behind him four
brothers, all of whom were farmers. Du
ring this period he visited many climeB,
and at lastilanded at this port in Decem
ber on a ship from Liverpool. Becoming
ill, he was sent to the marine ward of Sr.
Joseph’s Hospital, on the 31st ult., by Dr.
Stone. On the same day a penniless stran
ger waa admitted to the charity ward of
the same hospital under the name of
John C. Hughes, a farmer. Tho appli
cant had traveled a long way in searoh of
employment and was weary and sick.
The two men were in tbe hospital in the
respective wards in which they bad fonnd
rest, when one of the Sisters of Charity
who nurses tbe siok, noticed the similar
ity in the names and Ihe striking likeness
between them. The attention of Dr.
Stone WA3 called to the matter, and the
two men were brought together, when it
waa discovered that they were brothers,
two of those who had parted f ,nr years ago
in tho Bay State. The meeting and re-
oognition, though affording gratification,
waa tinged with sadness. Dame Fortnne
had certainly not smiled on them, unless
in finding for them a shelter nnder tbe
hospitable roof of St Joseph’s in .their
time cf sickness and distress, and retimi
ng them after years of Buffering.
The Warrenton Clipper, itself one of

A Clerk Raids His Employer’s Till
and Runs Away.—Hawkinsvillo Dis
patch: Samuel Ettinger, a young man
who had been clerking for Mr. M. Isaacs
in Hawkinsville for two or three months,
eloped from town on Thursday morning
last, taking the three o'clock train, and
being accompanied in bis flight by one
Jack Harris, a tramp, who had loitered
around this place for several weeks. Har
ris’ profession seemed to be that of a jig
dancer and free-lnnch feeder. The two
men had been old companions before
coming to Hawkinsville. Ettinger came
hero alone, and found employment as a
clerk with M. Isaacs. Harris soon fol
lowed, and it was ascertained that they
had been associated together in their
travels.
Harris was not a dangerous or appar
ently very vicious man. He didn’t ap
pear to want any kind of work. As for
Ettinger, hia face didn’t indicate that he
was a very creat rascal, still he left tho
town in tho dark, without giving hi9 em
ployer any notice, and it is reported that
ho robbed tho money drawer of about
two hundred dollars in cash. Besides
he and Harris both carried away other
articles belonging to other parties.
They left on the threo o’clock morning
train, and it is supposed that they got
off at Cochran, or at tome point between
that place and Macon, and then resumed
the profession of tramps. Teloerimx
were sent to various points, but no tidings
havo been received of them.
Mr. Fechner eaye: “Under tho new
management, the Atlanta Indepnideni
will be strictly Democratic. This is an
other Southern outrage to which wo re
spectfully call the attention of Blaino's
committee.
Above this pleasing announcement chan
ticleer is perched, crowing “his beat.”
We learn from the Nous that a bell de
signed for a Macon church went by mis
take to that city. When about to he
mounted, tho error was rectified by a
telegram from the foundry, and it was
duly forwarded to this place. Since then
a bell for the Christian church has arriv
ed, which explained tho mistake.
A Liver Disordered for Fifteen
Years.—For fifteen years I was a great
sufferer from a disordered Liver, during
which time I tried many of tho best phy
sicians in the country and almost alf the
patent nostrums recommended, all to no
effect, until I used Simmons’ Liver Regu
lator; and from tbo timol used it to this
day, which is now several years, I have
been comparatively a sound man. having
suffered very little since at any limo
from the effects of my old disease. Con
sequently, I heartily recommend its uso
to tho afflicted of liver disease.
Haj. A. F. Wooley, Kingston, Ga.
Mr. Conkling Vets His Deserts,
N.Y. Sun.l
Mr Rosooe Conkling, in a controversy
with the Administration, bas been badly
beaten. The defeat is in many ways dis
astrous to him. It qpts into tbe New
York Custom House, in plaoe of one of
his own most popular and devoted adher
ents, a tireless worker for a hated rival.
It deprives him of rnuoh of the prestige
of his recent triumphs. It smites and
humbles his own towering pride. Tho
defeat, too, shows that in inviting delay,
his taotios were at fanlt; as was his judg
ment in understanding tho strength of
the enemy.
Ho should have known that to a pur-
chaser time affords opportunity to in
crease his pnrobases; and when, a few
days ago, he onoe had victory witbin his
reach, he should have graBped it, and
made sure of the advantage of hi3 own
present strength, [instead of calculating
on the oontinuanoo of his enemy’s weak
ness. The defeat shows him to have
been a mistaken calculator; a maladroit
manager.
Bat this is not all. Were it all, the
case would not be so bad for Mr. Conk-
ling. By whose baud has Mr. Conkling
fallen? By what shame Is ho oavered ?
Ho has fallen by the hand into which
he himeclf put tho knife to slay tho con
stitution ot his country. Ho is buried
deep under the shame which he himself
signally aided in Bpreading over tho whole
land.
In a debate on theso very custom house
appointments, a few days ago, Mr.Cank-
ling is reported to have spoken of Mr.
Hayes as “the so-called President. ’’That
means that in the opinion of Mr. Conk
ling Mr. Hayes is not lawfully President
at all. If Mr. Conkling believes so now,
ho believed bo a great whilo age; ho bo-
liuved eo from tho beginning: ho must
havo believed eo when it lay entirely acd
unquestionably in his own power to pre
vent Mr. Hayes from being placed in an
office ta whiah he had nob been elected.
No obligation oonld be higher, none
conld be more imperative, than that
' whioh rested on Mr. Conkling to inter
pose his objections, when thoy would havo
been potent and effective, botweou Mr.
Hsyos and tho great office ot whioh ho
was clatohing without constitutional or
lawful warrant. To tho voice of hia
country, to tho voioe of duty, at tho su
preme moment when tho great qnestion
was to bo deoided, Senator Conkling
tamed a deaf oar. He was absent from
bis post, or when present, hesitation,
doubt, fear, or somo miscalculated per
sonal advantage, sealed his lips. It is
only when he finds himself overwhelmed
iu the common oalamity in whioh ho
helped to involve his country that ho cries
out in pain about tbo “so-oalied Presi
dent.”
Honest and earnest patriots need wnsto
no sympathy over tho defeat of a public
servant who was unfaithfal in tho great
crisis. Mr. Conkling has received his
deceits. That is all.
Of course the Administration traded
patronage for votes, os other Administra
tions havo done before it. A pity it may
be, if no more exalted consideration could
prompt him to duty,that it nover occurred
to Mr. Conkling that if he installed a
robber in the White House hia own pack
et might ono day bo picked. If Mr.
Conkling had thought oE this “that man
Hayes” — “the so-called President”—
might never havo been so called.
QUICKEN THE CIRCULATION.
Don’t let the blood stagnate in your
veins. You can prevent its doing so by
increasing rtH volume and purity, by
stimulating tho digeotivo organs, and en
couraging assimilation, with that match
less vitalizing agent, Hoatetter’s Stom
ach Bitters. Peoplo not afflicted with
any organic or inorganic disease, grow
wan and haggard simply because their
blood is thin, watery, deficient in nour
ishing properties and so meager in quan
tity that the extremities are very imper
fectly supplied with it, and the superfi
cial circulation extremely feeble. Hence
the bloodless appearance of the counten
ance- But when the Bitters are used to
enrich and quicken the blood, tbe rosy
hue of health returns to the cheek, the
frame acquires substance aa well as vigor,
tbe appetite improves, and no digestive
qualm 3 interfere either with itB gratifi
cation or the sab3cquent tranquillity of
tho etomacb.

LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
UVSVBKtA AXD SICK UK APACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
T)A1N in the light side, under the
1 edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
satirni in the ’bat k part. There is gen
erally u considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight
dr)' cough is sometimes an attendant,
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits arc low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would he
beneficial lo him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it,
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, hut cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, alter death, has
shown the i.ivkr to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLanf.’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can he used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box lias a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Du. McLANE’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLanf.’s Livf.r Pills

C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by

Anybody can learn to make money rapidly oper
ating in Stocks b3 the “Two Unerring Rules for
Success,” in Messrs Lawrence & Co’s new Circu
lar. The combination method, which this firm
has umdo so successiul, enables people with
large or small menus to reap all the benefits of
largest capital and best skill. Thousands of or
ders, in various sums, are rooled into one vast
amount and co-operated as u mighty whole, thus
securing to each shareholder all tho advantages
of the largest operator. Immense profits are
divided monthly. Any amount, from $5 to$5,000
or more, can bo used successfully. New York
Baptist Weekly, September 26, 1878, says ? “By
the combination system $16 would make $75. or
5 per cent; $50 pays $350, or 7 per cent: $100
makes $1,000, or 10 per cent 011 tho stock during
tho month, according to the market.” Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, June 29th; “Tim
combination method of operating stocks is the
most successful ever adopted.” New York In
dependent, Sept, 12th: “The combination sys-
tem is founded upon correct business principles,
and no person need bo without un income while
it is kept working by Messrs Lnwrer.ee & Co.”
