The House of Representatives have passed
the amendment proposed by the Reconstruc-
ton Committee. Although there was a
small majority of its members in favor of
striking out the clause DISTINGUISHING those
who participated in the late struggle, or aid
ed or assisted the Confederate cause, as far
as voting for Congressman and electors for
President and Vice. President is concerned,
until 1870, yet several Democrats and Con-
servatives, desiring that this abortion should
90 to tie States in all its base deformity,
voted against striking it out, and it was
passed as it came from the Reconstruction
Committee, and as it was published by us a
few weeks since. What the Senate will do
with it remains to be seen, but it is presumed
they will strike out this clause and return it
to the House for its further action.

TITO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
! l Ifyou need one of the best remedies ever Of
fered to the people of this State for Dcrangements
of the Liver such as Congestion of the Liver, Tor
por Of tie Liver, Deficient Secretion of Bile and
the long list of diseases resulting from such de-
rangemens as Jaundice, Bilious Collie, Loss of p
petite, Dyspepsia, Fluctuations of food, Fatulen-
cy, painful digestion, or pain in the stomach or
sides, Vertigo Headache, sick Headache, Neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, Impufity of the blood, and
all conditions ordinarily called Bilious Derange-
ments of the Digestive Organs all forms of Con-
stipation, and for all the purposes of q Family
Pill, use 'sDr. T. Rennolds celebrated Virginia
Hepatic and Purgative Pill.'
This pill is not the invention of a quack or an
impostor, designed to impose upon public credu-
lily, but was compounded by DR.. I. Rennolds,
of Staunton, Va, regular graduate and eminent
practitioner of medicine in this section who, after
years of careful study, SO arranged the proper
tions of the ingredients to render it applicable
to the diseases for which it is recommended He
had 10 idea of extending their use beyond the
community in which he lived and practiced, but,
after his DEATH which occurred in January, 1864,
having left the formula for compromising them to
his brother, VIM. Rennolds, of Louisa county,
va, the latter, for reasons stated in pamphlet
around box containing them, has undertaken to
have them manufactured for the people of the
whole State.
This pill has stood the test ofample experience,
W. wing been extensively used and highly valued
by the people v this section for many years as is
substantiated by certificates contained III PAM
phlet around box. as well as other evidences OF
appreciation from many of our most distinguished
and reliable citizens.
The price of this pill is fifty cents per box
Though this is apparently higher than the price
charged for those ordinarily sold to the public,
yet it must be remembered that the dose is less
than one half of the latter, and consequently is
just as cheap as any Others
To prove this, it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the fact that boxes of pills usually contain
from "a to 80 pills, the average dose being from
3 to 6. Our boxes contain II, the dose being on
y one for ordinary purposes, and HENCE thequan-.
tity is Just as great in smaller bulk without ref
erence to the certainty and efficiency of the rem
dy and obviatng the serious objection to taking
SO many for one dose. t.sss.t.
Nothing is claimed for this pill that we do not
conscienciously believe and if We cahnot succeed
in Introducing it to- the people by stating the
truth we will not degrade ourselves or try to inn
pose upon others by going beyond it.
