LoW-DoWS WHITE MEN-Within the last few DAVIS
as We learn from the Marshall and Mansfield papers
most pitital robberies have been perpetrated upon
freedmen. Near Marshall white man (?) rode up tc
two negro Wood-choppers and demanded their money
While ore was sheling out bis ADJUST Is cents-thc
other took to his heels. The robber failed to catch
tlie tugacious freedman, but shot him iii the arm He
had four dollars, which be declared he had the best
right to, and "souldn't CUFF it up nohow" Near
Mansfield, freedman was enticed aside from the road
by white man, on pretense Of trading bridles when
he WAS shot dangerously twice, and robbed. When a
white man gets 50 low down as to rob freedmen, he
ought to be made to make short shrft at the nearest
tree to where lie is caught.

WHISKY FRAUDs.-Ninety millions Of gallons q
whisky were made in the United States in $50 accor
ding to the census while the last report of the
nue. commissioners returned but ten millions Thi.
enormous deficiency is not to be accounted for nv an,
increase IN either demand supply but solely by the
lact that the tax on whisky is dollars gallon
The special committee which Congress appointed to
investigate the frauds in the revenue department has
work enough before it; for even if suppose t~.
the tax has decreased the manufacture of rty
million gallons since 1860, there would IN be cause
to suspect that the treasury has len de8auited Of
SlOo,00O,00o. All that we nave published OF the
frauds in this city is ,,-ng compared to those un-
discovered; vet committee has learned that there
are three ,usand small disteries in this city where
WHISKY Is illegally made and that government officers
protect the swindle To complete its investigation
here; the committee will reassemble in New York in
January and will afterward visit the western cities
Inc work seems as endless that of the Denaides:
but even the imperfect investigation, which is all we
can reasonably expect, Will millions of dollars.
Of more permanent Importance is the effort the com
nee will make to reorganise the revenue system so
to prevent further frauds but the discussion of the
methods proposed is premature before the work is

Medicines.

To cure consumption, the system must be pre-

this, the stomach and liver must FIRST be cleansed
and an appetite created for good wholesome food,
which by these M medicines will be ,igested prop
erly, and good healthy blood made; thus build
ing up the constitution. Schenck's Mandrake
Bills cleanse the stomach Of al bilious or mucous
aecum ulations; and by using the Sea Weed Tonic
in connection the appetite is restored
schenck's Pulmonic Syrup Is nutritious as we'll
as medicinal, and by using the three remedies all
impurities are expelled from the system, and good
wholesome blood made, which viii repel all dis
ease If patients win take these medicines ac-
cording to directions, Consumption very frequent
ly in its last stage yields readily then action
Take the pills frequently TO cleanse the liver and
stomach. 1t does not follow that because the
bowels are not costiye they are not required, for
sometimes in diarrhoa they are necessary. The
stomach must be kept healthy, and an appetite
created to allow tho Pulmonic syrup to act on the
espiratory organs properly AID allay any irrita-
ton. Then all that Is required to perform per-
manent cure is TO prevent taking cold. Exercise
about the rooms as mach as passible, eat all the
richest food-fat meat, game, aud, in fact, any
thing the appetite Graves; but be particular and
mastieate we'll.
