Congress Corruption.

It will DO seen by Telegraph that the
corruptions at Washington have come
70 . head. When the Black Republi-
cans stole into power and took possess
ion of one braLch of Congress, We pre-
dieted the epoils you'd suffer some from
the greediness of the leaders of that pa:-
~. Ordinary members do not COM
mence stealing the first session, but
these Fusion freebooteTs could not re-
strain themselves from diving into the
Hest pots up to their very arm pits, and
that. before the first Congress was over.
A Fusion correspondent of a Fusion
paper charges a Fusion House with cor
ruption. A Fusion Speaker appoints a
Fusion Committee to investigate the
charge, and they report bribery and cor
rupfion of a most appalling kind against
several Fusion members of the House.
and recommend their expulsion. Read
che TeIegraphic Reports.
Suppose these Rusionists had full
swing in all the Departments Of Govern
ment az they did in the House, what a
condition would they have had the COED
try in before the people could have put
them ont. It is a matter of history that
whenever the opponents of the Demo
Gratis have succeeded by fraud, combina-
tion, or otherwise, in this country, they
have held power for a single term only.
Five Democratic Presidents have been
re-elected, six Democratic Administra-
tions have been re-iDstated, but not a
single Opposition Administration was
ever thus endorsed by the people.
In the present instance only the lower
house of Congress has been under oppo-
sition control, and that opposition ends
with the 4th Of March. So will the
people. Every branch of the General
Government will be in the hands of the
Democracy from and after that period.
What Fusion members there may be not
expelled will then take their leave of
Wsshingss never more, in such force. to
return. The people have had enough

Dr.. RoBAoK-Sir,-The last three bottles o

Remedies for only three months and a few days.

your medicines, ] was little better than a an
natical skeleton. For more than two y, ars I
had never enjoyed one hour of unbroken night
rest, and my mind sinking with my body, had
become greatly enfeebled, the very first bottle
of the Purifier wrought a surprising change fer
the better in my system, and after taking thai
wonderful restorative, together with the Blood
Pills, for one month, / felt that a complete re-
generation of every animal function was in
progress. l was not deceived. Lam now, at
81 years CT age. as free from every symptom Of
rheumatism as l was at 90. There can be ne
doubt that this wonderful cure is due to your
remedies alone, and 1 am willing, if it will
serve you or induce others to seek relief from
the same source, that this letter should BIS mads

Great excitement prevailed, ard there
