The Organization Of the House.

Politicians OF all parties seem, at present, to
be considerably exercised On the question of the
organization of the lower house of the State
Legislature There are Democratic candidates,
Republican candidates, "UEion" candidates and
Independent candidates already in the field for
The important offices TO be filled upon the as
sembIDg of the House. How to bring any
thing like party rule or order out of this chaos
of candidates, is the problem that puzzles the
wIre-workers. AS for the Republicans, they
may fix up their estates" themselves, and cipher
out their programme by any process they please.
We have no advice for them. Nor do We de-
sire to give advice 10 the Democratic members,
as, no doubt, they will know best how TO man
age the interests Of the party when they put
their heads together in caucus, But we have a
suggestion TO make, which, we think, il acted
upon by the Democratic members, Will obyIate
ali difficulty in efecting speedy organization
and certainly prevent the control of the House
from passing into the hands of the Republicans.
We believe that it IS the duty Of the Democrats
elected upon regular tickets to recognize all
other members who claim to belong to The De-
mocracy, as their equals in all things pertaining
TO the Democratic organization. We believe,
therefore, that it should be the policy of the
regular Democrats 10 include IN their call for
the House caucus, all members claiming to be
adherents OF the Democratic party, whether
elected upon regularly nominated tickets, as in
dependents, or upon "union" tickets. Then,
lei the "union" and independent Democrats be
fairly represented IN ttrez caucus nominations,
aad let no distinction whatever be made be-
tween them and the regulars. Or, If this can
not be done, letthere be a mutual understand
ing between the regulars and rregulars, to the
effect that the latter shall have carte blanche tor
such office, or Offices, as may be agreed upon,
ticket thus formed shall be supported by both.
10 this way, and in this way alone, can the Dem
oeratic party IN the House be reunited and be
made victorious. Of course, we would not have
any sacrifice of principle or of the dignity OF
tae party 10 a combination like that above sug-
gested. We would have rome but sincere and
trustworthy Democrats selected as candidates
But something of the kind is necessary in the
present struggle of the party for restoration tc
influence and supremacy. VIII our Democrat
ic friends 10 the House, look to the interests o.
the party and of the country, in arranging then
programme for the organization

Ayers Pills.

4 RE you sick, feeble and complaining Are
"a you out of order with your system de-
ranged and your feelings uncomfortable These
symptoms are often the prelude to serious i'll

aud should be averted by timely use of the
right remedy. Take Ayers Pills, and cleanse
out the dISordered humors-purify the blood,
and let the funds move on unobstruc!ed IN health
again. They stimulate the functions of the
body into vigorous activity, purify the system
from the obsrucLion5 which make disease. a
cold settles somewhere IN the body, aud OBJ
srncts It's natural functions. These, if not re-
leved, react upon themselves and the surround
ing organs, producing general aggrayation, suf-
fering and disease. While IN this condition,
oppressed by the arrangements, take Ayers
PiIIs, and see how directly they resto.e the nat
ural action of the system, and with it the buoy
ant feeling OF health again. What is true and
SO apparent in this trivial and common COM
plant, is also true IN many of the deep-seated
and dangerous tistempers. The same purgative
effect expels them. Caused by siTnllar o5struc-
tons and arrangements OF the natural functions
of the body, they are rapidly and many of them
surely, cured by The same means. None who
know the virtues of these Pills will neglect to
employ them when suffering from the disorders

Kentuckv On cameron.

Both houses of the Kentucky Legislature,
have passed resolutions asking the President to
dismiss Simon Cameron from the Cabinet. The
resolutions were adopted by an overwhelming
vote. As there are but one or two s'seceSsion-
lists" in the Kentucky Legislature, almost the
entire body being staunch friends OF the Union,
this request of the immediate representatives OF
the legal people of Kentucky, will hardly be
denounced as "dsunion trick" or maneu-
yre o. the fsnorthern echoes o! Secession" We
hope that the President will act promptly IN
compliance with the wishes of the Kentucky
Legislature. Wehave always maintained that
unless Aboliionism be FIRST put down, the Union
cannot be restored. Kentucky, the frmest OF
AZ the loyal Slave States, gives US ample confr-
nation of this opinion. The tme-servlng dem
agogue who misrepresents Pennsylvania in the
Cabinet, should at o0ce be removed from office,
50 thai the loyal people Of the South may be
assured that cur Governaent does not mean to
make war upon their local institutions, or their
Del sonal and political rights.

GLORIOUS News !!

SlguaI victories have been obtained over the
rebels in Missouri and on the line OF the Poto-
mac. In Missouri nearly 1000 prisoners have
been taken, and large quantities of stores and
supplies intended for Gen. Price destroyed, or
captured. This victory is the'frst OF any con-
sequence in Missouri. Under Gen. Halleck's
regime, orr army is successful. The reason is
PLAIN. He minds his own business, aad lets
politics and slavery alone. The triumph at
DralnesYille. was also brilliant one. Forty
rebels were killed, large number wounded and
several taken prisoners. Our loss was some s
killed and considerable number wounded. The
gallant Colonel Kane, whose regiment passed
through here last summer, was wounded in the
heck. Col McCalmont's regiment, of which
y ne<,.. our Bedford boys are members, was at
scene of the action. None of them, we
ye. were injured.
