Summons’ Regulator. —“A sense of gratitude compels me to thank you for your valuable medicine. I suf fered for more than a year with indi gestion, and during the last six months I have occasionally had dumb chill? followed by fever. I took one package of your Simmons Liver Regulator, and for several months I have been as stout and hearty as any man could desire to be. I have heard many of roy friends speak of it, and agree that it possesses all the virtues you dlaim for it/’ —Extract of a letter from A- H. itigh tower, Conductor Macon <s* Western Railroad. Simmons' Liver Regulator is the medicine for this climate and its diseases. Orange, Alexandria and Manas sas Railroad. —The work on the extension of the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas railroad to Harrison burg, Va., is rapidly drawing to com pletion.

The Origin of I lie Trouble Be tween the Floriuu .State ccrs. A dispatch to the New York Times says: The trouble in Florida between Governor Reed and bis opponents has a curious origin. Both factions are Republican f that of Governor Reed is moderate and practical, and looks to putting the party on a basis which will keep it in the ascendency in the State. The other facton, ied by Lieuf tenant-Governor Gleason, Jenkins and a few others, is composed of a set o hair-brained extiemists who care for nothmg but personal gain, and who will kill the party unless they are kicked out of it. When the Government ot the State was framed, the Republicans thought they would make a sure thing of it for a number ot years at least. They, therefore.' provided that the Governor should hold office for six years, and invested mm with the appointment of a great many officers including most of the county officers in the State. It is be- cause Governor Reed has not used this power in the interests of the ex tremists that the attempt is now made to impeach him. The Legislature which passed the resolutions had as sembled on the 3d. solely foV'the pur pose of choosing Presidential electors, and a quorum was not present when the resolutions were passed. Governor Reed of course, resists the illegal and preposterous procedure. Both he aid Gleason, the Lieutenant Governor, are originally from Wisconsin. Reed is an old journalist, a man of intellect, ability and experience in public affairs, Gleason, who was a lumberman in V\ iscoiis n, is a man of very ordinary calbre, *ud would be doing his country and State far better service on his plantation at Indian River catching terrapins than in running an impeach ment machine at Tallahassee. Decision by Commissioner Rol- INS, —Commissioner Rolins has just decided a case of considerable interest. About a year ago John and Wm. Mat tingly were convicted in the United District Court at Louisville, Ky., of fraudulent returns in the matter of 4,000 gallons of whisky, and fined the extraordinary sum of $32,000 or quad ruple the amout of the tax. The case was carried to the President, who, upon the evidenco submitted, believed them to be innocent, pardoned them, and ordered the fine to he remitted.— Six months afterward the assessor again made an assessment based on the judgment of the court in the crimi nal prosecution. The Mattinglys paid the amonnt under protest, asserting their case was covered by the action of the President, and appealed to the commissioner for redress. The com missioner decided the case in their fa vor, which was approved by the Sec retary of the Treasury, who on Fri day last ordered a warrant to be issued to their attorney for the amount paid —ss,ooo. Important Trial iu Virginia. Richmond, Nov. 17.—1n the United States district Court this morning, the trial commenced of the habeas corpus case, in which the counsel for Cmsor Griffin, sentenced to the penitentiary for shooting a white inan, asked his release, on the ground that Judge Sheffery, who held tie Court, was intelligible under the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision of tLis case will affect nearly all Judges iu the State, and make void or confirm all legal business transacted by them since the proclamation of the adoption o!j the Amendment. Nashville, Nov. 12. —Senator Cate, of Hamilton county, introduced preamble and resolution in the Legis lature to-day to the effect that ‘Where as, D. W. C. Senter, Speaker of the Confederate Legislature of Tennessee, under Isham Garris, and had favored many acts oppressive to the Union people, and had been clearly guilty of conspiracy and treason against the Federal Government. And that, whereas, he was clearly ineligible to hold office under the third section, fourteenth article of the amendment to the Constitution, and all acts that he had signed as Speaker were illegal; therefore, the Speaker’s chair should be declared vacant, and the Senate proceed at once to the election of a new presiding officer.” This docu ment created a great deal of excite ment in the Legislature, and was to tally unexpected. It lies over for one day, when a storming lime is anticipa ted. The Lady of the White House. —ln connection with the election of General Grant to the Presidency, and only second to it in point of interest, is the promotion of Mrs. Grant to the position of “Lady of the White House.” It is gratifying to think that the po sition is one which Mrs. Grant will fill with the true simplicity of an American woman. There will be no attempt to ape the grandeur of a regal court and no vulgar striving after more sensation. Mrs. Grant is a lady who bas main tained through every event which has marked the vicissitudes of her hus band’s file a marked propriety of de meanor. She has been helpmate in days of adversity, and lias shared his honors without being dazzled by the position or contaminated by the fooling adulations cf those who wor ship at the shrine of success. — Boston Journal. The foreign scientific journals report that, recently, large and most impor tant discoveries of coal have been made in Russia. The mines of one district alone are, according to the Saint Petersburg journal, Golos. capa ble of supplying anually 40,000 tons for one huudred and fifty to two hun dred years. Since ISG4 there have been surveyed in the valley of the Don forty-two beds, the aggregate of which is estimated at more than eigl - teen millions of tons. r lhe Golos as serts that the mineral wealth of Russia far exceeds that of England, and; at thb same rate of production, would last for two centuries after the English mines had been exhausted. Said a testy barrister: ‘I believe the jury have been inoculated for stu pidity.*’ ‘That may be,’ replied liis opponent, ‘but the bar and the court are of opinion that you had it the na tural way/ Age and youth both have their ( dreams.

IS.-A Havana etlcr of Ibei 7th inst., says that in the ig it near Baire the Spanish troops retreated, having 135 men killed and wounded.

Iho insurgents want no reforms, hut demand independence of Spain, and annexation with the United States < Puerto Principe is reported have ; joined the revolt, and it w r as,expected that a rising ‘would soon take place near Havana.
