Judge Flint and his friends, coupled with the
commencement of suit against the county

political capital, is the object which Jud &c Flint
and his friends desire to defend and promote,
il certainly seems to us that both will be more
properly consulted and advanced by the
Judge making his defense before the Court
where the case is now pending. Although
we may admire the candor OF patty lit

1t is fact well known to, and can be at
tested by large majority of the voters of the
county, that during the canvass upon the
above named propo 'ition, a goodly number
of the citizens Of Ottumwa, together with 9TH
er citizens Of the county, voluntarily can
vasscd the county very zealo,lsly to secure
its successful adoption, and in doing so, they
assured the people in every part of the coun-
ty that the said road would be completed to
Ottunwa in twenty months or two years
from that time; a portion, if not all of them,
stating that they had authority from the R.R
Company to make this promise, and they
had no doubt it would be accomplished with
in the specified time. This presume will
not be denied; neither will it be denied that
in consequence of those promises the vote
carried throughout tho county. Had the
facts as time has developed them been fully
known by the voters of Wapello county, no
sane man can believe that the proposition
would have been adopted. 1t may be said
that these men were an irresponsible party
and could not bind the Company. True,
but il they told the truth that the Company
authorized them to make such promises, it
was undoubtedly fraud on the part of the
Company; and if these promises were made
without such authority, then the men who

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part Of
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood There it acts an irritating
poison on the internal vscera and cxcretng organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus aud the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent conshtu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct CT our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxi9us
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body
in the internal excretories to force them to cast it
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestiye violence: This
is the CHILL. But in this effort fails Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expe the irritating poison through
that other great eXcretory the skin In TINS
also 1t fails, and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGUB
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
mine the health If it is not removed.
