The Roads Now Divide Vote against Con


We have reached the point where the roads divide
It Is no longer possible for any man. having political
rights to defer che choice between Radicalism as in
efpreted By the negroes and Conservatism as inter
preted BY the Executive and the friends Of the Cons
tuition AS the political power Of this country is
tolled by numerical party majorites aud these are
made up from numbers only, even the man who re-
fuses to vote at all exercises a choice Of ways-his
party loses lis vote and the unit goes to swell the
party opposed to him. This is than deserton in
the face Of the enemy for it is going to them in
the hottest of the fight and using musket to fire
his own side. Every Conservative who stays away
from the polls the day Of the election for the
yenton, whatever be his color, adds vote to
the Radical party. We may wash Our hands" of
these reconstruction bills in that way, by staying at
home and refusing to take any part in the election but
will amount to complete surrender, without even
a struggle on our part to maintain our rights. The
effect will be to insure Radical victory without
fight in the first place. and secondly to discourage all
further effort the part of Northern friends to assist
those who do nothing to protect themselves and last
ly it will amount to aid aud comfort" to the Radical
party in Congress, denial Of support to the Presi
dent. We poweres5 and will be defeated. Be it
So We will at least have made the only practical
protest in power against the infamy to which they
would subject US we would show the friends Of the
President and the friends of the Constitution through
out the country, that wiling against odds and
hampered by disfranchsement to support him ard te
defend it; and then, would have right to expect
their aid and assistance. We complain of the indf-
ference of our political friends at the North may not
our own supineness have created that Indifference?
Is it fair is it gallant is it just for expect them
to fight battles for US while we are washing our
hands,? Why, even the negro would hold such con-
duct in just contempt while enjoying the advantages
resulting from it. "Who would be free, themselves

LIFE ISsuRANcE.Wc believe that it is generally
conceded by most Of people that is the duty of every
person who has family encumbent upon him to have
his life insured. Within the last few years and par
tculary since the war, the policy of life insurance has
made rapid strides in the South The majority of our
citizens now dependent upon their daily labor for
the support Of themselves and families, and it is ur-
christian like for them not to make some preparation
for the support of their families in the event of their
own death. AS life insurance is now very popular, Of
course good many shoddy companies have sprung
into existence and it bchooyes our citizens to be eau
ous in selecting the Office in which to insure. From
all we learn the St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance
Company is the safest and most responsible in the
country. 1T nsures policies lives all the differ
ent plans and at favorable rates as any other while
its officers among the most responsible of the
country. For further particulars call Thos. W.

New CURE OF YELLOW FEvER.-At this time the
following mode of treatment of yellow fever recently
adopted by ALEX Fiddes, distinguished physician of
Jamaica, possesses peculiar interest:
Caiomel, quinne and all other medicines are set
aside, as being not only useless but positively nuri
Gus the only medicine recommended is full dose of
castor oil at the beginning of the disease The rene
dy OF Dr. FlddeS then consists in the internal admins
tFatlon OF suphurous acid combined with the external
application Of iced sheets around the body when the
skin hot and dry, with occasional vapor bath
when the skin is dry without being very hot The sui
phurous acid is not given in its pure FORM but COM
bned with all alkaline base such as the bisulphte of
Soda the suphite of magnesia or potash, or of ammo
ma, OF which the former preparation is probably the
best being taseless and not likely to offend the stom-
aeh' The dose is twenty grains every two or three
hours in glass of water
The use OF sulphurous acid and the application of
the wet sheets vapor bath indicated as much bv
the dictates of theory by the lessons of experience
Inc hrst is preventive against the fermentation of
the blood the two latter are potent agencies for with
drawing poisonous matter from the body without weak
ening the vital powers
Since Prot. Poll, Of Milan, instituted bis elaborate
series OF experiments to test the efficacy of suDhurous
acld IN arrestlng fermentation in the blood of animals
ana since Dr. De Ricci, Of Dublin and Prof Burgrave
Vi unent repeated the same, the theapeutica power
OF thls medicine has been well known to the medical
procession Bat Dr. Fiddes is entitled to the credit
OF having introduced it a remedy for yellow fever
anu several other diseases Of the zymotic family
Ihere seems to be doubt in the efficacy of this now
