The Shivering Victims

o. Fsavor and Aguc, who freeze to-day to
burn tomorrow, might have been exempted
from their present trials had they availed
themselves III time ot that safeguard against
all malerious diseases, HOSTETTER' s
STOMACH BITTERS. But if it is too
late for prevention it is not too late for
cure \ single bottle of this irresistible
herbal tonic will stop the paroxysms, and
brief course Of it will restore the patient
to vigorous health. The prudent and
thoughtful, however, who would rather
forestall disease than wait for its assaults,
will resort to this sure defence against
intermittent fevers at the commencement
Of the season when they prevail. Now is
the time TO forearm the system against fever
and ague, bilious complaints and dyspep-
sia-diseaseS which are often engendered,
and always aggravated, by the chills and
damps Of Winter and early spring.
SHAKESPEARE of TERMITTENTS
The Bard of Avon tells us that the sun
in March doth nourish Agues.' and the
remark is as true now as it was three hun
drci years ago. But. fortunately. in these
modern days March Agues can be prevent

week, will put the system in a condition to
resist every species OF Intermittent
fever Or. ifthere is predisposition to
billiousness or dyspepsia, this unequaled
regulator and invigorant will just as GER
tainly prevent that. All the disorders
common to fogs and frosts may be held in
abeyancc by this potent antidotc. They
may also be elected from the system. after
they have made Judgment there, by its
persevereing use. 1t is therefore moral
insanity for any family to be without it.

Overthrow OF society.

Wv XII ANA ~A
We sometimes call the Military
Reconstruction bill. which has pass
cd Congress, revolutionary 1t Is
more than this. 1T is a complete
upheaval of society. An overthrow
Of self government, IL cruel assault
upon States and citizens. For ex-
ample, by the bill all civil author
i,v in ten Of the United States are
made PROVISIONAL. The 9th section
Of the law declares:
That until the people Of the ten
rebel States shall by law De admit
ted to representation TO the Congress
Of the United States, all civil gov
crnments tha. may exist therein
shall be deemca PROVISIONAL ONLY,
and shall be in ali respects subject
to the paramount: authority of the
United States at any time to abol-
ish, modify, control, and supercede
the same. and in all elections to any
office under such provisional govern
ment all persons shall be entitled to
vote under the provisions of the
fifth sections Of this act. And no
person shall be eligible to any Office
under such provisional governments
WAC would be disqualified froU hold
ing office under the provisions of the
third article of said constitutional
amendment. -
Here, then, are H.. culy Prcvis-
icual Governments established in
ten States, but Congress may mod
if them, or any one Of them. at
pleasure. All persons are disqua!i-
fed from holding any office under
these State governments, if, prcvi-
Gus to participation i'll the Rebellion
he had ever, in any official capacity,
taken an oath to SUI port the I. S.
Constitution; and the continuance
in Office Of all incumbents depends
on never having held any State Or
Federal office previous to the Re-
hellioH. All who ever held such
Offices must retire, and lave tn cir
places supplied BY an election in
which all negroes-even those who
participated in the Rebellion-wi!l
be roters. TIE manner and time Of
holding these elections will be pro-
scribed by Eve Brigadier-Generals,
and it rests in their discretion
whether such elections shall be
ordered at ouce, or under tho State
laws. Taking the ten Southern
States together, the whites exceed
the blacks in the proportion of two
to enc. so tina: tho negro vote would,
in general, be completely neutral
lied by full participation of the
whites 10 the election.
No wonder Southern men and
others often ask themselves the ques-
ton: "What wilt be our ia:e il we
submit to this law, and what our con =
dition if wc fsil to submit to it?"
We need but to read the act to show
the entense sectionalism aud hatred
manifested in each and all Of its
provisions. But the South must act
one way or the other, for failing to
act the whole Southern people are
turned over to the negroes and mil
itary officers sent among them to
govern by the sword. What would
the people Of the North say with
such an alternative before them?-

tary tiOH Biz.

The military reconstruction bill,
which passed both houses of congress
last week, is opposed in a quarter
whence one would have thought its
strougca! support would have been
derived. Charles f. Mess, ono Of
be most radical contributors TO that
most radical Of papers, The Anti
S1av:ry Standard, publishes, in the
:zs: issue Q! that journal, a most
rcbcmen: danunc:ation Of the bill
and oftac principal which provades
it. The measure, he says, places
the lives, property. and intsrcsts
Of one third of the inhabitants Of
the American republic in The power
&c general Grant, and the writer
Immediately adds the following:
The great, Boosting republican
party, after six years of racillation
and misrule, has at las, declared, so
far as language of legislation can
declare, that the American people
arc incapable Of self government,
and that general Grant alone can
save the nation. For, say what We
may, il no civil government can be
devised for the states recently in
rebellion, the same will be claimed
10 bold good throughout the north
al less than three years.
Nor is general Grant let eff with this
single fling at him; it is charged that
he would prove despot in the event
Of such bill becoming a law. and
that he is ambitious of political
honors in addition to the military
honors wi;eh the nation has already
awarded him. We read further:
Lam aware that members ofcongress
claim tie measure is Only temporary
aud soon to be followed by other
measures Of civil character. Some
even tell us, in order to quiet our
fears. that the president will soon

untlt sn2t measure can be made
eucccssful. But all sunh talk is idle
nonsense. You can much more easily
'1i, into life military government
shan you can crush it out afterwards.
There is no example in history of
military despot yielding up power
quietly after one, getting it into his
hands, and there Is certainly moth
ing in Ulysses S. Grant calculated
,o'mako freedom loveing men believe
he will prove better ir that respect
than other despots who have ruined
republics before him. BESIDES ALL

that bill, it was distinctly asserted
ON the koor Of the house that Gen.
Grant alone is capable of saving
the republic. With such dcclar,
