A large number Of certificates have been
presented to us, which in due time will
probably be published, relative to the very
extraordinary cures effected by McMAN-
MANS STOMACH BIrTERs. Indeed, we have
constantly observed that Fine Vegetable
Tonics like the one under notice, produce
a far more permanent and Alternative effect
than the occasional medical treatment to
which the frequent fevers, rheumatisms,
indigestions, languid circulation and nerv-
GUS affections of the locality, oblige us to
resort. In fact, the climatic conditions
of Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota, as well
as our own latitude imperiously demand
the constant use of wholesome deturgents
of an Alternative character. Fortunately,
Gen. McManman's Stomach Bitters can
with safety be administered lin graduated
quantities, of course, to female and infant
invalids. Its effects are exhilirating and
bracing the morbid accumulations be-
come separated o1zjected from the system,
and the appetite, that great test of vigor-
Gus health, is Immediately restored.
As persons, the most averse to spirituous
preparations use these excellent Bitters
without scruple, they are not obnoxious
to the charge made against compounds of
class which only affoxd an excuse for
dram-drinking. In N pbility these
Bitters, besides invis the system
generally, exert direct action upon the
fibrous constitution of the nerves them
selves, and are sure antidote to head
aches, dimness Of vision and fastidious
appetite.

General Butler, in a letter to the Ne,

General Butler, in letter to the New
York Tribune, says =
you do not deny that this 500 loan,
in whatever it is payable, is now due at
the option of the United States. That is,
the FIVE years have passed at the end of
which, by their terms, the United States
reserved the right to pay them ; and the
government has the right to pay them to-
day in whatever currency the contract
calls for,-whether gold or paper.
If these bonds are payable in gold,
why are they selling at from los to II in
currency when gold is worth l43 to l45
off the United States should now choose
to exercise it's right to pay them (which
would seem to be wise, as they are uHtax-
able, so that their interest is, in fact. from
] to per cent. higher than per cent. to
the holder lin that case, why should tile
government be called upon to pay them
in gold or it's equivalent in currency, say
l43, when anybody else can buy them at
10?
Why should the taxpayers be called
upon to pay the holder from 80 to 40 per
cent. more in order to redeem these bonds
than, as they now have the right to do, the
capitalist is now willing to sell them for to
anybody else p
The reason why the government should
pay 500 bondbolder good deal more
than he will sell to anybody else for is ac-
cording tothe Tribune, because these bonds
superabound," and because we "import
too much" Very logical.

A "loyal' person in New York proposes
that the loyal leagues shall make present
Of $3.50, 600 to Mrs. A. Lincoln, in order
that that lady may not be constrained to
part with a small triae of $40, 900 worth of
iewclry, sowing to the inadequacy of her
income" A loyal newspaper concern in
this city characterizes it as ''an absurd pro-
position" Why absurd Did not the
loyal leagues give more than $780, 900 to
save southern women and children from
starvation Does any loyal man assert
that they did not give 'red cent" to that
humane and Christian object? OF course
no loyal man makes such an assertion
How is it, then, that loyal newspaper is
so disregardful of its party obligations as
to characterize the proposition to give Mrs.
A. Lincoln $3.50, 900 to keep her from sell
ing $4,000 worth of loyal jewclry, as
"absurd ~ This is surely most repre-
hensible example Of loyal ingratitude.-

New ORLEANS, Jan. 10.-A letter from
General Bureaugard to VIM. III. {. King,
editor of the Times, appears Tomorrow
morning. referring to statements pub
lished in northern papers about his po-
sition on the national question. Cen
eral Bureaugard states that he did not
make a speech at Canton, but said in
private conversation that the South had
defended what it conceived to be con-
stitutional rights, and having appealed
to the arbitration of arms, it yielded to
the decision which was given against it
and that lie believed the Southern peo-
pie were now willing to accept the Con-
stitution as made by the war and under
stood by the Supreme Court.
Regarding the Constitutional amend
ment he said he had little opportunity
except through papers to ascertain pub
lie sentiments. but his individual sen IL
ment was that the South should not &C
ccpt it rs its interests and manhood for
babe. The South WAS at the mercy OF
the North, but should never do anything
which its honor could not approve, and
which would not protect its interests;
and last, if he used the word consolida.
