ing scrip the secretary Of tho interior
should be satisfied that tho warrants
surrendered had been justly and fairly
issued in pursuance Of the laws Of
Virginia. This revisional feature of
tho law was designed doubtless to ex-
clude from scrip cases tainted with
fraud, or shown by subsequent testi-
mony to be manifestly erroneous. But
the law has been SO constructed as to
| require u discrimination ON every
claim allowed by the authorities of Vir-
ginia; and under that construction, a
large number of such claims have been
rejected by the department. at Wash
ington and are of course unavailable
to the claimant in Virginia, though ma
turely considered and duly adjudicated
by her appointed tribunals. =
The dignity of the commonwealth
and justice to the individual claimant
as well as good faith, seems to me to
require that the law of congress on the
subject should be so amended as to au-
thorize the issue ofscripo in all cases
duly recognized by this state, unless
fraud be detected, or manifest error be
shown.
The subject being one ofinterest to
very numerous citizens of the state,
and involving Il large amount, / deem
it my duty to bring it to the attention
Of the Legislature.
Ihave thus frankly exhibited to the
general assembly my views of the
condition of the commonwealth, of her
great works, institutions and interests
recommended such action as my mind
suggested, and invoking your aid in
raising Virginia to the emincnce she
ought to occcry. My term is about
to expire by constitutional limit. My
successors have been appointed by an
overwhelming majority, demonstrating
that he possesses, as he deserves, the
confidence ofthe people. l shall retire
to private life with the consciousness of
having discharged my duty to the best
of my ability looking to Virginia ad-
vanccmcnt with a longing eye and
trusting with the most perfect reliance
to you, and to my successor, to pro-
tcct her interests, guard his rights and
her honor, and perpetuatc her fame.

Remedy for Indigestion and Liver Complaint
Maria Armstrong (27) of Edgartown, New Jcr-
sey, suffered more than most people from indi-
gestion, accompanied by liver complaint, sever
al very clever medical men told her she was in
a consumption, and her friends dcsparcd OF her
ever recovering, as she had tried every thing
they thought likely to benefit her, without suc-
cess. At last she tried tiolioway's Pills, which
quickly assimiIatcd with the blood, removed the
obnoxious matter, and thoroughly clcansod and
a,ed the system. The result is, that she was
perfectly cured, and now enjoys the best Of
health. These Pills are also certain cure for
all diseases OF the stomach and bowels.
