DIR. w. B. Sloan--Desr Sir: For the last 80
years l have had occasion to use many herscs,
and have used the great variety Of Liniments
and Ointments in use, but brve never found a.
nything equal to your Ointment for mi ures

The Difference.

Thc ordinary ointments and lniments it is
woIl known, arc severe and partial in their op.
Grafton. Sloan's Ointment is mild, yet thoro
1t reaches and removes the cause, hence it
gives real and permanent relief
For purity, mildness, safety. certainty, and
thoroughness. Sloan's Ointment exccls, and is
rapidly supcrseding all other Ointmcnts and
now in use.

CONSTRUCTIVE MILEAGE SESAToRs.-The Hon.
Elisha Whitlesey, the First Comptroller of the Treas-
ury, has refused To allow the accounts of the Secre-
tary of the Senate for constructive mileage paid To the
members of that body who were in attendance at the
Executive session in March last The amount paid
is stated about $40, 0,0O0-a portion of which was
paid to every member of the Senate but three.
The Wing papers are trying to give the "credit''
of this act Taylor but the truth is that Whesey,
according to their own story, gave Taylor to under
stand that if he not sustained by the President,
he (Whittlesey) would Immediately resign his Office.
Taylor could do otherwise than sustain him, and
all that is praisewoby in the matter, is entirely due
to Whittlesey.

MADIsoN-HoGs-The two newspapers at Madison
have got into little dispute TO the price of hogs
in that market. As near can guess, the object
of the editors Of both the Courier and the Banner is
to tell the truth but Of course they have to rely in
some degree the statements Of buyers and sellers,
and they may be thus misled. As the matter stands
it is doubtful whether certain lot of 1900 hogs
sold for more than $3.50 per 100 lbs. We can tell
the buyers there thing and that is. they will gain
nothing in the long rpm by deception or humbug. and
the Madison merchants and traders will gain as little

large majority Of those voting the subject, and

whatever his personal opinions the subject, will
oppose this expression of the popular sentiment.
How then shall the Convention be constituted, and
when shall it be heidi
Every class of Industrial pursuits, and every inter-

should be sufficiently large TO make Ills action con-

adoption OF the Constitution al the polls.
The population of the Stale in 1876 wien the Con-
veniion assembled which formed our present State
Constitution, about 100, ,000 and that body
sisted of forty-three MEMBERS representing thirteen
counties. They convened on the 10th of June and
adjourned on the 29th sine die. Estimating our pop
ulation at million in June 1850, and the

tolerated. We believe however in having the Con-
venion as large as may be. without these conngen-
