CARD.


The Proprietors, in presenting to the public the
above incompatible Bitters, assure them that but
for of gratitude to the generous donor of the
recipe and in response to the opportunities of the
hosts of Southern friends who have experienced
their efficacy, they would have hesitated before
placing an article OF such sterling merit a mar
ket flooded with deleterious compounds hbeling the
name of Stomach Bitters Our Senior however,
having at the solicitation of those friends expended
on the manufacture of the GREY JACKER BIT
TIERS the experience acquired in half lifetime
devoted to the preparation of Tonic Digestive Slim
ulants and discovered their immense superiority
over all other Stomach Bitters, we have unhesita-
tngy added these to the list of articles already pre-
pared at our establishment and so well known and
largely patronized by the community at large.
BARNETT & LION take this seasonable oppor-
tunity of thanking their numerous friends Cor the
immense increase in their business during the year.
and inform them that, although the manufacture of
the GREY JACKET BITTERS must necessarily
cause additional tax their energies, yet from
large additions in the improvements made and
making in the manufacturing department of the
establishment their orders will be filed as promptly
and they hope as satisfactorily as usual

PRoGREss OF "LoYALTY."-To those poor
fellows, whose blind devotion to the Repub,
lican party makes them anxious always to
be up to the standard of "loyalty" as UNDER
stood by the party leaders, the pursuit of the
varying changes which the meaning OF the
word undergoes must be both exciting and
perplexing. Two years ago, no one vas

any man that supports the President is dis

-Four years ago, to hold that state could 90

The Republican party, at the commence

under the constitution no state ever did or
ever could 60 out Of the Union, and on this
position alone all parties at the North

rebellion.

of the southern states to Congress, threatens

then the doctrine was invented thar the

law?)
1t was necessary, however, to pass the
Freedm4 ms Bureau bill, and other bills to
secure the rights" Of the neg-oes in the
South, and, as Sumner himself confessed.
there was no power in the constitution to
pass such laws except what would be derived
from the second section Of the amendment
abolishing slavery, and as that amendment
needed the ratification of several southern
states, /. was therefore held that, for that
purpose, the southern states were still suffi>
ciehtly states in the Union,
But, in order TO extend the operations of
the Fre*dmens Bureau so as to reach all
social relations at the South, an exercise of
authority which even the second section of
the constitutional amendment alluded to
would NOT authorize except on the assump-
ton that the southern states were wholly
under thc control of Congress, the further
doctr was put forth, that by operation of
the rebellion the southern states had died,
and were now mere conquered provinces,

The action of Congress, therefore, in refer

the radicals upon the following highly con>

lst. No state ever did or ever could 20 out

"a. But the southern states are out of the
Union and shall not come back.

1t Is a remarkable fact that the sensational
reports abost the trichina in swine, in Ger
many, is having serious effect upon the
consumptive demand of pork here and in
other cities. The demand has fallen off fully
onehalf within the past two months ,and it is
still declining. This is serious matter for
the Northwest, which supplies great portion
of the world with pork, and if the people OF
this and other countries should stop eating
pork, our farmers would be heavy losers
--latest medical opinion in reference to the
alarming disease in question, however. states
that in this country the alarm is really wi;hout
any good grounds. The only region where
the disease prevails is in one district in Ger
many, and the only recognized case that has
occurred in this country is that of German
woman at Detroit, who, it appears. had
it before she left Germany. The tichna
is not an a rnercan institution, and the sudden
prejudice h ere against pork is no doubt with
out good cause.
