THE SITUATION.
An Earnest Appeal to True Georgians.
Elsewhere, we publish -an elaborate arti
cle on “ Congress and Georgia. "What is to be
Done f,” taken from the Macon lelegraph
and Messenger. The Importance of this
subject Is beyond anything of a public na
ture which -now claims attention and be
yond anything of a similar character which
is likely to be addressed to public attention
for many years to come. In its solution are
involved principles and issues which will,
most probably shape the destinies not only
of Georgia but of this continent for cen
turies hereafter. We therefore bespeak for
the article a careful perusal by every reflect
ing reader who feels any interest in the
future liberties of his country.
Either we or our brethren of the Tele
graph andMessenger are radically wrong in
our views of the subject. The people of
the State through their representatives
must decide between us; and it is due to
them and due to' the importance of the
question that they should have fully before
them what is said on both sides. This we
wish to give them, as far as can be done,
through the columns of the Constitu
tionalist. For this purpose we reproduce
the Telegraph and Messenger's article with
such comments as we think proper and per
tinent. By way of general demurrer, then,
as the lawyers say, we enter our most em
phatic protest against the whole spirit and
letter of that article.
To be more specific:
I. We utterly deny the truth of the state
ment taken from the Philadelphia Press,
put in italics in the reproduction of the
article from the Tdegrapli and Messenger ,
which constitutes the text of all that fol
lows, and especially that part of it in these
words : '‘Bui if they (the Legislature) refuse
to reinstate the negroes, Congress will have a
valid and Constitutional right to interfere for
the purpose of compelling obedience to the Re
construction Acts.”
We protest against such a reckless per
version of the truth going before our people
Without a prompt and full contradiction.
We have heretofore shown and now re
peat that it is utterly untrue that the Geor
gia Legislature by unseating the negro
members committed any violation whatever
of the Reconstruction Acts of Congress ;
and this being so, it is utterly untrue that
if the Legislature does not reseat them,
Congress will have “ a valid and Constitu
tional right to interfere ”in the matter. We
do not simply doubt the right, but assert,
and defy contradiction to the assertion, that
all such interference will not only be without
right, or the semblance of right, but an open
and palpable usurpation of power. No part of
the Reconstruction Acts, or the amendatory
acts, ever required of Georgia to admit
negroes to seats in her Legislature, or to
confer upon them the right to hold office in
the State, as a condition precedent to a full
restoration in the Union. We defy contra
diction to the assertion that Georgia has
fully complied with every requisition made by
Congress for her restoration. We defy Mr.
Fobney or anybody else to show or point
out any provision of any of the Reconstruc
tion Acts which the unseating of the Geor
gia Legislature violated, either in the letter
or spirit! With what regard for truth,
then, can he or anybody say that Congress
will have a valid, much less an undoubted,
right to interfere in the matter and compel
obedience to these acts? As has been re
peatedly said, the negroes were unseated
under a construction by the Legislature of
ovr . own laws and Constitution, passed and
adopted in strict conformity to the recon-,
stmcttort acts, much less in violation of
any of them. That construction may or
may not have been right, but, right or
wrong, Congress has no more rightful au
thority to interfere than with any other
judgment of the proper tribunal by anv
States in the Union, upon questions per
taining exclusively to their own laws and
Constitutions.
11. The whole drift of the Telegraph and
Messenger's article is to impress upon the
minds of the people of Georgia and of the
Legislature that we are in imminent dan
ger of being put again under military rule,
which may be avoided by the Legislature
promptly correcting an error which they
committed in ousting the negro members.
Against this view also we protest. We
do not mean to say that there is not immi
nent danger in the quarter dreaded; but
we do mean to say that it cannot be right
fully avoided in the way suggested. Even
supposing that the Legislature committed
an error in the construction they put upon
our laws and Constitution, they cannot
correct that error in that way. It would be
illegally undoing what had been legally
though erroneously done. All that the
Legislature can legally and constitutional-"
ly do in the in the view that
their previous was wrong, and all
that they should do in that view of the
subject, would be in all like cases, in the,
future, to abide by the principles settled by
our own Supreme Court in the case re
lating to the right of negroes to hold office
in the State, which was adjudicated by the
Court aforesaid. This is all the Legisla
ture can legally and Constitutionally do in
the premises.
111. While we do not wish to be under
stood as at all underrating the peril of the
times or giving out, in the least, the idea
that there is not imminent danger of a
further subjection of the State to military
rule, yet we do believe that there is a good
deal of that policy which deals largely in
threats on the part of prominent Radicals,
in and out of Congress, on this subject.
Their object is, by holding a threat in ter
rorem over the Legislature, to cause the
members of that body to do what they
really hesitate to do themselves. All of the
Reconstruction measures of Congress have
been adopted by the Southern States on
this same line of policy. Congress has
never yet gone to the extent of imposing
its acts directly upon the States. The
whole plan has been based upon the .crafty
and subtle policy of inducing the people of
the States to accept and adopt these meas
ures of Congress, and make them their own
acts, under threats that, if they did not thus
comply, they might go farther and fare
worse. This is the principle upon which
all of these Reconstruction measures have
been concocted and carried, so far. The
people, under bullying threats , have been in
duced to do for themselves what Congress
did not venture to do for them. So that
when it Is all over and all the mischiefc
which may follow shall have come, Con
gress can taunt us, saying: “ We did not do
it. You DID IT YOURSELVES !’’
Now, we do not mean to intimate the
opinion that Congress will not interfere, in
case the people refuse a further compliance
with their revolutionary demands—for
there Is no usurpation the Radicals would
blink at If they saw any probable chances
of success—but we do mean to say that
their-entire policy, thus far, has been, by
menaces and terrible threats, to compel
the people of the South to stultify and
commit themselves to the uttermost. How
it will be in the fnture we do not know;
bnt, in all candor, we say to our brethren
of the Telegraph and Messenger , and to the
people of Georgia, so far as we can address
them, that Radical Dominion, which, in
oar opinion, is greatly worse than Military
Rule, can not be avoided by the course they
suggest. It will be but opening the door to it;
and, what is worst of all, rr will be open
ino it ourselves ! If this outergafte 6f
the citadel of our liberties is to be opened
»t all, in the name of all that is sacred, |
and in view of the memories of the
Past and hopes of the Future, let us not be
induced, either by promises or menaces, to
be the voluntary instruments of our own
betrayal! If the negroes are to be reseated
for the sole purpose of carrying out the XVth
Amendment —and this is really the object of
this movement, all the cry about Bullock
to the contrary notwithstanding—then, by
every consideration we hold most dear, do
we entreat the Legislature of Georgia never
to become (he willing or cowardly instruments
of this enormous crime against the liberties
of their country!
If the XVth Amendment Is to be carried
by the negro members of the Georgia Legis
lature, let members of Congress, In clear
violation of the Constitution, take it upon
themselves so to declare. Let their gross
usurpation stand out openly and glaringly
to all the world. Do not let them shirk the
responsibility and hide themselves from the
quilt of the deed under cover of the Georgia
Legislature ! , Let them not escape that re
tribution which will await them in the
day ot reckoning by the plea “We did not
do it.” “It was Georgia that did it f"
The Radicals want complete centraliza
tion and empire. As yet they have not
dared to declare their purpose openly. If
they can get the XVth Amendment adopt
ed, they feel sure of their object. This es
sential step in their progress, on an insidi
ous, crafty line, is now in great peril. Its
chances are exceedingly doubtful. With its
success, they feel assured that there will be
no further serious obstacle to the accom
plishment of their, long-cherished policy of
overthrowing our system of free institutions
and the establishment of a monarchy of
some sort instead. They feel assured, also,
that with this Amendment they can accom
plish their fell purpose under the semblance
of lawful authority. Will the Legislature of
Georgia become the willing or pliant tool for
the execution of such designs f We hope not.
We trust not! If the entrance to this
last stronghold of State Rights, this last
hope of a free people, is to be the adoption
of the XVth Amendment, and this is to be
effected by reseating the unseated negro
members of our Legislation—let Congress
men come up to the work and do it them
selves. Never let it be recorded that (his base
and suicidal deed was perpetrated by sons of
Georgia.
[From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger.
Congress and Georgia—What is to be
Done ?
We copy the following special from
Washington to Forney’s Press, of the 9th
inst.:
“'Virginia and Georgia.— Nothing has
yet been done, either by the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate, or the Reconstruction
Committee of the House, to whom was re
ferred that portion of the President’s Mes
sage relative to Virginia and Georgia, re
garding those subjects. It is probable,
however, that they will report favorably
on the Virginia proposition, and postpone
action regarding Georgia until the Legisla
ture of that State meets, on the second
Wednesday in January next. The courts
of the latter State having decided that the
expulsion of the negro members of the
Legislature was unconstitutional, this delay
wiU give the Democrats of the State an oppor
tunity to reinstate them, or refuse to submit
to the decision of the courts. In the former
case no further interference wiU be required
by Congress ; but if tliey refuse to reinstate the
negroes , Congress will have a valid and un
doubted right to interfere, for the purpose of
compelling obe lienee to the reconstruction acts,
and will do so by adopting the President’s
suggestion to pass a law authorizing the
Governor to reconvene the old Legislature.
“ The delegation from the Virginia Legis
lature, sent here for the purpose of urging
the immediate admission of the State, had
an interview, by appointment, with Gen.
Butler, the Chairman of the Reconstruction
Committee, at five o’clock to-day. He in
formed them that the committee would re
port unanimously in favor of the admission
of the State, and that they will doubtless
agree on a bill to that effect at their meet
ing to-morrow. He predicted that the bill
will pass the House within an hour after
it is presented, and, dismissing the subject
of Virginia,, stated it to be his opinion that
the State will he fully represented in Con
gress within the next ten days. Referring
to Georgia, he said that the Republican
party had been cheated in that State as
well as in Tennessee, and that in the latter
the negroes are worse off now than they
were ten years ago. lie also sta.ted that the
final solution of the Georgia case will be post
poned until after the holidays.”
As to the fact of the intended postpone
ment the well informed correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, telegraphing that pager
from Washington the same date says :
“ It is understood the action by Congress
in the case of Georgia will be postponed
until after the meeting of the Legislature
of that State in January, in order to see
what that body will do as to the expulsion
of its members about which the controversy
exists.”
And to the same effect writes our own
correspondent in a letter published in the
last edition of this paper.
On the other hand, our press telegrams
of Saturday say a bill to reconstruct Geor
gia will be reported this week, and leaves
us to infer that it will be pressed through
“ without delay,” in accordance with the
recommendation of the President’s Message.
Letters upon this subject to the editors
of the Telegraph, and Messenger , from the
highest, and most authoritative Democratic
sources iu Washington, impress our minds
very strongly with these ideas.
1. That the Democrats in Congress are
extremely solicitous to save the State of
Georgia from another disorganization, and
strongly desire that the Legislature, if per
mitted to do so, should exhaust the re
sources of compromise in the matter of re
seating the colored members. These letters
anxiously inquire when the Legislature will
meet and how sqon they can dispose of the
question.
3. Gov. Bullock, at the head of the de
structive delegation from Georgia, and
backed by the extremists in Congress, is
pulling every string to precipitate action
before the Legislature can move in the mat
ter. 'the reseating of the negroes amounts
to little or nothing with them. Even that
would leave the question of Democratic in
fluence in the Legislature doubtful, and it
is rendered still more doubtful by the
failure of Gov. Bullock to order new elec
tions in the case of Radical members of the
Legislature dead or resigned. But a purge
under act of Congress, administered at the
point of the bayonet by the military, would
give them, as they say, not only the negro
seats, but would dispossess, by careful
count (so they say) at teust twenty-five to
thirty-five other Democratic members,
whose places would generally be filled by
negroes who had the highest poll. This
would give these destructionists entire con
trol of everything. The Legislature would
be in effect nothing but a body to register
the decress of Gov. Bullock made in his
private executive office, and would place
everything—all the public money—all the
offices and all pecuniary and political
power, in the hands of the destructionists.
It would give them the pick of places from
the United States Senate down—it would
enable them to help themselves as to money,
and divide among thfijr friends—it would
consummate the purchase of the Opera
House—it would enable them to purge the
judiciary after their fashion, and by getting
np and arming a standing militia of ne
groes, according to the amended Morton
bill, they could better control the colored
vote, or perhaps by surrounding a few of
the polls with these armed custodians of
the public peace, they could produce snch
majorities on demand as were required to
control politics in Georgia.
There is, also, not a municipal corpora
tion in Georgia, which by process of an
nexation or some other legislative device,
they could not secure to the loyal Africans.
So that every city in the State might be
put under the surveillance of a negro po
lice ; and if this proved too much for the
forbearance of the people, the fact would
only show their “ rebellious and disloyal
spirit,” and bring the Federal army down
upon them as incorrigible rebels. Con
gress would be bound to sustain the recon
structed State government at all hazards.
3. Unless these destructionists can se
cure a reconstruction made by Congress in
opposition to the whites of Georgia—in de
flauce of ail their interests and feelings,
political, personal and pecuniary—made to
dominate over them and subsidize the
wealth and industrial welfare and resources
of Georgia in the interests of the atrocious
little white faction of adventurers who are
seeking to monopolize the State—tpey do
not want any reconstruction at all. If
Congress will not act in hostility to Geor
gia, so as by the process to arm thc§e de
structionists exclusively with the thunder
bolts of its power, and make them the sole
depositories of its resources of reward and
punishment* they care nothing what Cdn
gress may do or refuse to do. „ ..
In this spirit Gov. Bullock displayed his
ingenuity in the attempt to taunt the Leg
islature at the last session into a violent
and acrimonious hostility to Congress—in
this spirit he manoeuvred so as to secure
the defeat of the Fifteenth Amendment by
withholding the votes of his own party
from it—in this spirit he defeated the reso
lution referring the negro eligibility ques
tion to the courts; and Anally, in this
spirit, he calls a meeting of the Central
Committee of his own party in Atlanta, on
the 24th of November, and fairly crams
down their throats an appeal to Congress
to take action at once without waiting to
see what the Legislature would do upon
the matter of reseating the negroes, in ac
cordance with the decision of the State
Judiciary upon its appeal. The last thing
on earth Gov. Bollock desires to see is
that Congress should watt upon the Geor
gia Legislature, and the latter conform to
the views of Congress and reseat the ne
groes. The hope, first, is in a snap judg
ment by Congress upon the people of Geor
gia, and if that falls, secondly, in defeating
all efforts at accommodation.
4. But, after all, there is difficulty in the
way of the violent and arbitrary course de
manded of Congress by the destructives.
A good many of the Republican members
distrust these destructives and don’t like
carpet-bagism in its practical results upon
Congress and Southern affairs. They are
unwilling, too, to upset all State legislation
and go behind the resolution admitting
Georgia to the Union. Even the New York
Tribune's correspondent of the 9th has the
following upon the subject:
“The case of Georgia, which is just now
attracting so much notice, and has been
brought to the attention of Congressmen
by several delegations from that State, was
taken up and briefly considered by the Sen
ate Judiciary Comimttee, but it is impossi
ble to judge what; action will be taken.
The bills of Senators Morton and Edmunds
were also considered. The matter will be
resumed to-morrow. The committee is in
doubt as to what extent it would be justi
fied iu annulling the Legislative action of
Georgia.”
And to the same effect is the following
dispatch of the 9th to the New York Her
ald:
“Thf. Georgia Case—Obstacles to An
other Reconstruction. —The Senate Judi
ciary Committee had up the Georgia cise
to-day, but came to no conclusion. The
committee find a good deal of difficulty in
the matter of setting aside the acts of legist
lation which have intervened since the
State was formally admitted to Congress.
This would have to be done, it is thought, in
carrying out the suggestions of the Presir
dent’s Message relative to Georgia.”
Moreover, there is outside clamor and
alarm. The business and financial men of
the North don’t like this high-handed deal
ing with a State which is contributing so
much to Northern trade and national re
cuperation. They say we are industrious
and pay our debts, anefthose tales about
terrorism and disorder are contradicted by
their own advices, and are wholly inconsist
ent with tlie industrial condition of Geor
gia, as they know it to be. So that, after
all, it is possible sufficient time may elapse
for the Legislature to meet and show its
hand before Congress comes down on Geor
gia.
Now these are the ideas of the situation
of Georgia in Washington, as we are able
to obtain them from correspondence. These
are the ideas of the danger of Congression
al interference and its practical results
upon the interests of the State, which are
current among our friends iu that quarter.
A review of them will suggest the whole
argument as to the course the Legislature
of Georgia ought to pursue at once, if they
have the opportunity. Some of the Demo
cratic papers of this State are saying that
c.-ey prefer Congressional interference rath
er than that the Legislature should at
tempt to conciliate Congress by reseating
the negro. We have only to consider
what must inevitable follow Congressional
interference, to be amazed beyond expres
sion at such a preference; but it is one in
which the worst enemies of Georgia will go
with them heart and hand !
The case, indeed, lies in a nut shell. If
Georgia reseats these negroes (Congress ac
cepting the act), Georgia then escapes all
the hard conditions of the punitive legisla
tion now proposed and certain to be inflict--
ed in case of our refusal. But if Congress
reseats these negroes, she does it with the
application of the test oath purge —with the
annulling of all previous political legisla
tion—with the negro militia bill—arid with
all the provisions for compelling submis
sion to hostile legislation from an unwilling
people. In the one case the people will
still hold some control of their Htate. In
the other, it will be turned over entirely to
the wretched faction who are now trying
to put it in their pockets. It is impossible
that a sensible people should hesitate one
moment, which of the two alternatives to
urged that if you reseat the
negroes (he Fifteenth Amendment will pass.
That, is riot so certain ; but if the negroes
are nofrreseated by Georgia, the passage of
the Fifteenth Amendment is sure beyond
contingency. So, also, is the acdbmplish
.uent of every ill which can be possibly ap
prehended from the reseating of the negroes
by the Legislature, and much more besides'
Under these circumstances there ought to
he no reasonable doubt, of what should be
the demands of a sound and safe states
manship in this critical condition of our
affairs.
The Radical Cue.
sumnek’s trumpet brays toe accepted
basis.
Mr. Sumner sounds the trumpet for an
other forward movement by the grand army
of Radicalism. He does it iu his usually
adopted form of a lecture, peddled through
the principal cities of the East before the
meeting of Congress, and thus turns an
honest penny with his politics, taking care
of his pocket and his principles at the same
time, like others of his party associates.—
Four years ago, just before the meeting of
the first Congress that succeeded the war,
the Honorable Charles took the rostrum on
the subject of reconstruction and proclaim
ed the great doctrine of political equali
ty,” asserting for the first time the princi
ple of negro suffrage as a condition of the
readmission of the Southern States. It wili
not soon be forgotten with what haste all
the leading Republican journals and politi
cians rushed iu to deuounce both Sumimr
and his lecture, and how they laughed de
risively at the fanaticism of both. We
know what has followed since. The doc
trine of that lecture is to-day the accepted
basis of the Radical party; and Mr. Sum
ner, in his zeal to retain the skirmish line
of his party, finds himself compelled to
make another advance. He does it in his
lecture on “ Caste,” which sounds the gong
for Chinese suffrage, and in which he pro
claims against distinction on account of
color, not only against the African, because
he is black, but “against the Chinese, be
cause he is yellow.” Inasmuch as Mr. Sum
ner regards the Fifteenth Amendment as
already adopted, and the political rights of
the negroes secure under it, he could have
no other object than the one I state in pre
paring this lecture. So we look at an
early day for the inauguration of a move
ment in favor of Chinese suffrage. There
are not many impediments to It, as it is.—
The only oife I know of is the word “ white ”
in the naturalization laws. When this is
stricken ont, John Chinaman will have
achieyed “ the inestimable boon of the elec
tive franchise is the latest fantas
tical title for the right of a negro to get his
head broken at the polls after the force of
military government shall have been played
out.— Mack, in Cincinnati Enquirer.
Death op a Celebrated Bainteh.— On
the 13th instant died the well-known paint
er Frederick Overbeck, a native of Lubeck.
He came, a pilgrim of art, to Rome at the
age of twenty, and since that time has
lived an all but blameless life in the city
of his adoption. An ardent Catholic, his
religion inspired every effort of his pencil,
and hfs stndio was a shrine for many years
to strangers and residents in Rome. About
twelve years ago the artists met to com
memorate the fifteenth anniversary of Over
beck’s first visit to Rome. Now, at the
age of, I believe, eighty-five years, his obse
quies were attended by as numerous an as
sembly of his brethren in art and other
friends. The funeral service was performed
at the Church of San Bernardo, on the
Yiminal, the music of the mass being sang
by the German students of the Catholic
College, the Ambrosian chant prevailing.
The Kyrie and the Dies Ira were especially
beautiful. Unfortunately, the church being
small,-was oyercrowded ; there were none
of his countrymen willing to absent them
selves on the occasion, and the Qenqans
master strong in Rome. The Pope sent
his dutiful and loving son a special bless
ing on his death-bed, by a prelate of his
suite, and his death, as described by one
who was present, was inexpressibly calm
and tranquil. He quoted text upon text
of Scripture illustrative of the mercy of God
and the confidence of the Christian in his
promises, and his end was as peaceful as
exemplary life.— New York World.

VEGRT4BLE, and the most happy combination that
the science of medicine has as yet developed to suc
cessfully combat the most prevalent diseases Incident
to a billious or malarious climate. It is the most
perfect. ant i-p.ri odi c —»lways Breaking the Chill in
three <fr fbur doses; but better than that or all else,
and fc-h'it renders it the most efficient and valuable
compound'ektart, Is the un: vet sally conceded fact
that it leaves thp patient in better health tbanhefore
the attack, with no pufflUf up of the skin, no buzzing
in the head, no deafness, no impaired vision, but a
clear head, a transparent skin, a bright eye, an elastic
step and buoyant health.
It eliminates disease from the system by dissipating
engorgements of the secretions, exciting the liver to
healthy action and giving the pancreatic and hepatic
juices their normal condition and healthy flow.
It is a better preventive than cure, and if people
could he prevailed upon to take it, in eay half doses
three times a day, during the chilly season, they
would have perfect immunity from chills an,l ail the
train of concomitant diseases; but who, except the
very prudent, will take medicine before they are sick ?

t LAXTERS aie respectfully informed
that I am uow manufacturing this prepara
tion (m a large scale.
It is the same article from which such
satisfactory results were obtained by num
bers of our most intelligent Planters in the
neighboring Counties.
The following satisfactory experiment,
made by Judge L. C. Watiren, of Jeffer
son, is best told by himself:
Louisville, Ga., Sept. 7,1869.
Harry, ATu/i/Aa:
“Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure to
state, that the Ingredients I bought of yon
last Spring, with your directions for pre
paring a Phosphate, which I called 1 Bar
ry’s Preparation,’ has proven one thing to
me, that it is not necessary to go beyond
our own borders to And a Phosphate supe
rior to those of Northern production.
“I experimented with a number of the
most popular kinds of Commercial Ma
tt tires, and it is not only my opinion, but
•hat of every one who saw the Cotton, that
Barry’s Preparation was far ahead of tin:
others, each having a sign board to mark
the rows.
“The stalks of Cotton vrere taller and
greener, with larger and more bolls on
them, and I feel no hesitation in saying
there was a difference of 25 per cent, in fa
vor of the yield of your manure over any
other Phosphate I have used.
“ Very truly, yours,
“ L.'C. WARREN.”
“ Louisville, September 10th, 18G9.
“ Dr. Barry:
“ Dear Sir : Dr. Hunter suggested to
me, on Tuesday last, by way of testing
the yield of the different manures, to pick
au equal number of rows and weigh the
Cotton. Since then I have had Mr. Win.
Ponder to take six row»of three different
kinds, 70 yards long, and this evening he
makes the following report:
6 Rows, 70 yards long, Name, Cotton
weighed 17 ibs.
6 Rows, 70 yards long, Name, Cotton
Weighed 26 tbs.
6 Rows, 70 yards long, Barry’s Prepara
tion, Cotton weighed 45 lbs.
“ These 0 rows were on each side of
your six rows—all within a space of one
eighth of a mile, so there is no difference in
the soil—the plowing and cultivation the
same. Very truly, yours,
“ L. C. WARREN.”
A number of Certificates from onr larg
est Planters confirm Judge Warren’s
statements, which will be found In my de
scriptive Pamphlets.
The cash price of the Fertilizer is $65
per ton.
The same time accommodations can be
given that other manufacturers offer, and
,on the same terms.
All Orders addressed to 290 Broad St.,
will be promptly attended to.

“ASTRAL” OIL.
Unlike many other Illuminating Oils, is per
fectly pure , and free from all adulterations or
mixtures of any kind. It emits no offensive
smell while burning, gives a soft and brilliant
light, and can be used with the same assurance
of safety as gas. Chemists pronounce it the
best and safest Illuminating Oil ever offered to
the public; and Insurance Companies indorse
and urge upon consumers the use of the “ As
tral ” Oil in preference to any other. It is now
burned by thousands of families, and in no in
stance has any accident occnrrecHrorn its use;
a lamp filled with it, if upset and broken, will
not explode. To prevent adulteration , the “As
tral ” Oil Is packed only in the Guaranty Patent
Cans, of 1 gallon and five gallons each, and
each can is scaled in a manner that cannot
be connterfeited. Every package with nnent
