Affairs I'm Jamaica.

Advicos from Kingston, Jamaica, say
that the negro revolt has been at last effect
ually suppressed, although arrests for US
ing seditous language still continue" 1t
is further stated, that, in view of past
events, the Constitution of the Island will
be so amended as to transfer the appointing
power from the People to the Crown, and
that arrangements are being made to ''reg-
ulote the religious bodies Of the I$laad, to
whose influence the OutJredh is attributed "
That is to say the experiment having been
made, it has been demonstrated, beyond all
question, that the negroes Of that Island
are utterly unfit to govern themselves
chat, with all possible advantages, they have
detcriorated into a state Of -barbarism,
and can only be saved from destruction by
being at once, and probably forever, sub.
iected to a mode of treatment characterized
by unparalleled severity, and deprived Of al
but mere shadow Of authority to govern
| themselves. After an experience Of sever
al years, they have been elevated y to that
kind of political equality with the white,
which consigns them to perpetual intcriori
ty, and demonstrates the necessity Of 81
regulating their religious affairs as t,
! impose unwholesome restraints upon theil
ecclesiastical organizations.
1t is taking nothing for granted, to as
sumo, that, adopting the ideas Of Exete
Hall, and in strict accordance with th
teachings Of the emissaries of British phi
lanthropists, the political abolitionists o
this country have, for more than thirt.
years past, been laboring to inaugurate tn
same state of things among us With tthi
object in view they have directed thei
sleepless energies to the accomplishment @
a forced emancipation Of the African race
and are now putting in requiston all avail
able means for securing to them all tn
rights of American citizenship VIII tn
lessons presented in the existing state c
things in Jamaica go unheeded? If so, ox
perience will, sooner or later convince tn
people of this country that there is DANCE
in going too far in the indeayor TO equali2
the condition of the races; and they wi
eventually be called upon to repudiate tn
homage paid to the ebony idol by the Sun
nors, Wades, Delanos who are now legisl;
ting exclusively for the black element OF th
country. Pain Dcdier.

An Ola Politician Unearthed.

The President has appointed Lewis d.
Campbell, resident of Hamilton, Butler
county, Minister to the Republic of Mexico.
Some years ago Campbell was prominent
as Know. Nothing Congressman; but was
defeated for reelection to Congress, the
third time, by Vallandgham. In 1862, he
was appointed Colonel of an Ohio Regi-
ment, butwas better atdrinking whisky than
Nashville, while the President was acting as
Military Governor of Tennessee, and there
an intimacy was formed that has led to the
resurrection of Campbell from his oblivion
in Ohio, and his appointment to position
that will bring him prominently before the
people. -I9am Dealer.

Rather InOppOrtune.

The massacre in Jamaica by the Negroes
happened rather inopportunely for the cause
of Negro Suffrage in the South, 1t is a
crushing argument against it, Ifthere are
such things as special providenccs, that in,
surrection must have been a special prov
idence, designed to admonish our people
not to be in too great haste in elevating the
Negroes Of the South to political equality
with the Whites. -

TEsc Proposed Increase Of the
TariE s0T the EseResit OF New
England,

The cormorants Down East, not satisfied
with the lions share Of the profits of the
productive industry Of the West already Sc
cured to them. have introduced into Con-
gress measures for protecting their own in
terests, at the expense Of all other parts of
the country, They now propose to increase
the duty on the importation of all foreign
articles that can be manufactured here, to
an extent that shall amount to an effectual
prohibition; thus compelling the people of
the West and South to purchase Of them,
and pay whatever prices their cupidity may
demand. We are rcjoiced toknow that the
Republican members Of Congress from the
West have sigpfied their determination to
resist this barcfaced attempt to tax the
country any more than it is now taxed for
the sole benefit of Eastern monopolists. 1t
is an encouraging sign of the times, that Il
movement has been made 20 repeal the act
allowing fishing bounties--a law which has
long been disgrace to our statute books,
and an evil which cannot be abated mo-
ment too soon. 1t is barely possible that
the prcposterous claim of the manufactur-
ers to the benefits of special legislation may
awaken thoughtful men of all parties to
u sense Of duty. In the West, especially,
there is 4 deep and widespread feeling OF
dissatisfaction with the existing state of
thing, This maylead to more general re-
alzation of the evil Of taxaing to a ruin
Gus extent the products of industry in one
section ofthe country for the exclusive ben

Thc New Legend on Our Coins.

IN compliance with an act of Congress the
Director of the Mint has caused the legend
In God we Trust" TO be engraved in the
dies Of double eagle, eagle, half eagle, dol
lars, half and quarter dollars, and has had
specimens in cODper of these made for the
inspection Of the Secretary of the Treasury,
The Director has made these words subject

FHE LADY OCULIST.-

Il Miss LAURA LIE SUER, whose sue
cessful practice has been well known in
Pittsburg and vicinity for the last seven
years, has now taken rooms at the residence
of Mrs. Stahl, High ST., Ebensburg, Cambria
county, Pa, where she proposes spending the
summer for the purpose Of treating
DISEASES OF THE EYES.
The System is cautious and safe one-has
never been known to fail in subduing In
fammation of the Eyes, either Acute or
Chronic-will remove extraneous substances
from the eyeballs cure granu1ated eyelids so
ihat the eyelashes, instead of growing like
bristles down upon the eyeballs and thereby
eventually destroying the sight, will assume
correct position-become soft and natural
will strengthen and restore weak eyes of long
stand;ug-all without the use of the Knife
Lunar Caustic, Blue Stone, or any of those
severe remedies so frequently applied, to the
destruction of the eyes.
Miss LIE SEUR also treats successfully
RHEUMATISM AND NERVOUS DISEASES,
two of the most lingering and painful dis
eases 10 which mortals are subject, and from
which proceed some of the most fearful dis
eases of the eyes. But as diseases are not
cured on paper and deeds are much more
satisfactory than words, she would therefore
respectfully call the attention of an intelli-
gent community to her practice, and most
cordially invite the afflicted to come and test
the effect of the treatment for themselves, as
suring those whose cases are curable that il
they put themselves under her treatment and
follow strictly the directions given, they will
certainly be rewarded with
HEALTH AND SIGHT.
These are facts, and facts are said TO be
stubborn things.

D With corrupt or tainted blood,
~ you are sick all over. It may
/burst out in Pimples, or Sores,
or in some active disease, or II
may merely keep you listless,
depressed, and good for nothing. But you
cannot nave good health while your blood is
impure. Ayers Sarsaparilla purges out these
impurities; it expels disease and restores
health and stimulates the organs of life into
vigorous action. Hence it rapidly cures
variety of complaints which are caused by
impdrlty of the blood, such as Scrofula. or
klngs Evil, Tumors, Ulcers, Sores, Erup-
tions, Pimp1es, Blotches, Boils ST. AnthoAy's
Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, letter or Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Ring Worm. Cancer or
Cancerous Tumors, Sore Eyes, Female Dis
eases, such as Retention, Irregul ,rity, Sup
preston, Whites, Sterility, also Syphilis or
Venereal Diseases, Liver Complaints, and
Heart Diseases. Try Ayers Sarsaparilla, and
see for yourself the surprising activity with
which 1t cleanses the blood and cures these
disorders.
During late years, the public have been
mlsled by large bottles, pretending to give a
quart OF Extract of Sarsapari.la for one dol
lar. Most of these have been frauds upon
the sick, for they rot only contain little, if
any. Sarsaparilla, but often no curative in
gredient whatever. Hence, bitter disappoint-
merit has followed the use of the various ex-
tracts of Sarsaparilla which food the market
until the name itself has become synonymous
with imposition and cheat. Still we call this
compound 'Sarsaparilla," and intend to sup
ply such remedy as shall rescue the name
from the load of obloquy which rests upon it.
We think we have ground for believing it has
virtues which are irresistible by the class of
diseases it is intended to cure. We can as
sure the sick that we offer them the best al
terative we know how to produce, and we
have reason to believe it is by far the most
effectual purifier of the blood yet discovered.
Ayers Cherry Pectoral is so universally
known to surpass every other medicine for
the cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarse-
ness. Group, Bronchitis, Incpient Consump-
ton, and for the relief Of Consumptive Pa
tients in advanced stages of the disease, that
it is useless here to recount the evidence of
its virtues. The world knows them.
