If the ladies but knew what thousands OF them
are constantly relating to us, we candidly be-
lieve one-half of the weakness, prostration and
distress experienced by them would vanish
James Marsh Esq, of l69 West l4th St., N. Y,
says "he has three children, the first two are
weak and pnny, his wife having been unable to
nurse and attend them, but that she has taken
Plantation Birters for the last two years, and has
q child now IS months old, which she has nursed
and reared herself, and both are hearty, ssucy
aud well. The article is invaluable to mothers"
etc.
Such evidence might be continued for a yo
lume. The best evidence Is to try them. Phey
speak for themselves. Persons Of sedentary
habits troubled with weakness, lassitude, palpi
tatlon of the heart lack Of appetite, distress af
ter eating, torpid liver, constipation, diabetes,
etc., will find speedy relief through these Bit
tiers.

The New York Tribune says, "the reason why
brakes Plantation Bitters are so universally used
and have such an immense sale, Is that they are
always made up to the original standard, Of
highly inyigorating material and Of pure quality,
although the prices have so largely advanced"
etc.
The Tribune just hits the nail on the head
The Plantation Bitters are not only made of pure
material, but the people are told what 1t is. The
Recipe is published around each bottle, and the
bottles are not reduced in size. At least twenty
limitations and counterfeits have sprung up
They impose upon the people once and that's the
last of them.
The Plantation Bitters are now used in all
the Government Hospitals, are recommended by
the best physicians, and are warranted to pro-
duce an immediate beneficial effect. Facts are
stubborn things.

Secretary Of the
"Free Trade League"

The most active, and, we believe, one of
the most dangerous associations In this coun-
try, Is the Free Trade League, in New York,
OF which WM CULLEN BRYANT is President
Lit is sending its circulars throughout the
country, and Is preparing for an active cam
palgn against American interests One of
the dangerous, ruinous heresies it puts forth
is the following:
Free trade qoiH enable us 10 raise larg-
er fereRae 1ctth less inquiry ttuR by the present
system WeDotst raise orr reee8ae by direct
tasees, achieh are more eqttituJle and more e.
c0nOnRc0tly collected than indirect tares, like
custom house duties and excise aud license
taEes. These latter interfere with produc-
tion and with exchanges of commodities.
while direct taxes impede neither l. it not
self-evident that the country cannot be ben
Gifted by artificial obstacles to the produc-
ton and exchange of commodities
10 assert that a man will thrive best on
poison would be just as reasonable as the a.
boye. We propose not discussion, now, but
to raise the cry of warning Foreignmanu-
facturers and Capitalists, eager to supplant
home products in our market, are In the
field
Ii they would agree to supply our Treasu-
ry with revenue to pay Government expen-
ses aud the National debt, there would not,
perhaps, be so much to complain of. But
the iron, steel, cloths, and other staples we
can produce as well here, if protected a.
gainst the cheap labor of Europe, will form
the basis of easy taxation, when free trade
would pay not cent into our treasury and
though we lose the trade and business, we
will have to stand the taxation just the same.
From three to FIVE hundred millions annual
ly have to be collected from somebody, and
of one thing we may be certain: if the man
utacturing interest does not thrive, give en-
ployment to labor and profit to capital, there
will be little left but the soil whereon TO levy
the taxes, and the soil aoiH hare to carry tie
burden nLone. This fact is instructive in
view of the fact that agriculture manifests
disposition to favor free trade. Pittsburgh

INTERNAL REVENUE.
important Investigations by a Revenue
Frauds in the sale of
alcohol discovered.

Important Investigations by a Revenue
Frauds i'm the sale of
alcohol discovered.
The Commission, consisting of Messrs.
David "A, Wells, Stephen ColwelI, and s. s.
Hayes, appointed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, under the act of Congress, to ex-
anime and report upon the subject of raising
internal revenue, have held many sessions
IN this city, and have taken a mass of testi-
mony. The attention of the Commission has
50 lar, been directed particularly to the man
utaeture and sales Of alcoholic liquors, and
to the frauds committed ON the revenue by
means of these liquors.
The frauds are found to have been more
extensive than either the Governments or the
public have any reason to suspect but, as
the Commission sits with closed doors, the
details Of the frauds cannot be published. 1t
appears, however, that in reference to spir-
It's the Internal Revenue law is practically
dead letter. Whisky is regularly selling in
market at about two dollars and ten cents "a
gallon, while the Government tax is two dol
lars and whisky on which the tax has been
paid can scarcely be sold at profit for less
sun, 1t is understood, than four dollars
gallon. 1t il evident that on little if any. of
the ordinary spirits on sale has any tax what
ever been paid
The receipts of the Internal Revenue Col
lectors this year for duties on alcohol will not
probably be more than $4,000, ,000 The
collections in England are reported at about
500, ,000,000 1t is estimated that the re-
ceipts here, if there were no frauds, would
reach nearly that figure
The Commission has met with a remarka-
BILE degree of success in its inquiries, and
much important information it has hitherto
been considered impraeticable to obtain has
been secured. Representatives from all
branches of the liquor interest have been
before the Commission, comprising persons
from nearly all parts of the United States.
The very heavy burden incidentally I'M
posed upon the arts and manufactures,
through the tax put upon the spirits that are
necessarily used for mechanical and other
purposes, will probably induce the commits
sion to recommend for adoption by Congress
a law to permit the sale of prepared spirits
to artists and manufacturers duty free, A
law of this kind is in force in England, and
with beneficial effect. Wood naptha, or
methylic alcohol, is mixed under inspection
or permission of officers, with the spirits to
be exempt from duty and thus prepared the
alcohol is SO nauseous that it cannot be drank
or used in any quantity whatever in mixtures
intended for drinking, or in drugs and medi-
clnes yet for mechanical purposes it is not
injured
Other subjects relating to the best sources
of revenue and the most efficient means of
collecting it, viii be considered by the Com
mission: and its labors will doubtless prove
of great advantages to the Government in
simplifying and rendering effective our in-
ternal revenue system, -Neo York Post

AN invention is spoken of by the Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago Times
which promises to work revolution in the
transportation of hay and cotton. Hereto
fore neither hay or cotton could be profta-
bly, transported on railroads, or in steam
vessels, because of the great bulk of the
bales and the large space which they oecu-
pied In transporting cotton and hay by
railroads, orin steam vessels across the
ocean, freight is charged according to the
bulk or space occupied These machines,
which are cheap enough to be used on every
cotton plantation, and in every neighborhood
of FIVE or six farms, will compress four hun
dred and thirty pounds of cotton into bale
only forty two inches long and twelyeinches
wide, containing only twelve cubic feet;
while the ordinary bale ofcotton, containing
twenty-six cubic feet, weighs only three
hundred and thirty pounds.

MARRYING IN THE SoUTH "A letter from
Newbern, North Carolina says that con-
siderable number of young men whose regi-
ments are about being mustered out such
as the 47th and 48th New York, and 10Th
Pennsylvania Zouaves-have made up their
minds to stay in the country. There are too
many eligible openings to be resisted. They
are fast marrying the disconsolate young
ladies and widows, and settling down for
life upon the vacant farms which on every
hand invite their labour and enterprise.

The FRENCH silk manufacturers have snf-
fered severely from the American war
The silk exported to the United States in
1860 from France was 103 millions. In
1868 it fell to % millions During this in
teryal Of three years the exports from France
to the United States fell from $50 millions
to "a; and North American produce impor-
ted into France for french consumption
suffered to the same extent Instead of
$40, millions in 1860 which, owing to the
rise in the price of cotton, reached 363 mil
lions in 1861, it fellin 1868, to 81. This
reduction applies especially to raw cotton.

Besr Il has been intimated that the fall
lacious report of the Grouse murder which

manliness to resign. The man who can JUS

JUSTFYING MURDER. The Gdzete of
two weeks ago, cody pointed out Jacob
Grouse as the victim for assassination, and
when the assassination has been consumma-
ted it just as readily comes to its iustifca-
ton. Every line written by its editor on the
subject is an attempt to justify the atrocious
crime This is truly consistent, and we are
tor once compelled to compliment him upon
standing up to his work 1t is so seldom
that he does that we consider it altogether
an anomaly. But, is it possible that there
lives in our midst man, woman or child
that justifes murder? We make due al
lowance for relationship, but we shudder
when we think that it is so / There are on
" two cases in which murder is excusable,
when it is the result of accident, or when
life is taken to preserve your own. A thou
sand street fights have occurred in Bedford
county and yet the murder on last Tuesday
week was the first of the kind. Does any
one suppose that this one would have been
more deadly than usual if Reed pistol had
been left out of the question? He that is
armed with deadly weapons can generally
produce death at his pleasure. We do
not desire to prejudice the minds of the peo-
pie against these unfortunate young men,
but when we find men, women and children
justifying murder, no man is safe. All must
be prepared for it. To-day you may reyel in
pleasure, tomorrow the assassin comes, and
you are carried to the tomb the victim of
OUTRAGED law. But what more can we ex-
pect from the teachings of such Marats !?
We call upon all law abiding citizens to re-
nounce their connection with sncb men. and
Tor the sake OF religion and law to enter into
a common compact for the overthrow Of such
horrible state of society as has been
brought about by the leaders Of the oppori.
