THE CHEAPEST AND BEST ONLY s25.

TT HAS. BEEN PRACTICALLY TESTED,
Il and is fully guaranteed to do The work as well
In ALL respects as is usually done by hand.
1t makes the furrow, drops and covers the
seed at the rate of from eight to twelve acres
per day, with but one horse or mule to draw it,
and hand to guide it and keep it supplied with
seed.
The seed is taken from the hopper by rotating
fingers, which separate the seed and distribute
them EVENLY in the furrOw.
1t is so simple and complete in its cOnstruc-
ton that IL cannot by any possibility clog or
become foul, or fail to deposit the see regu-
larry.
1t is fully indorsed by experienced cotton
growers, and recommended as good and prac-
teal machine. The best yet invented. 1t is
selling readily, wherever introduced. to pTomi-
nent planters IN Tennessee and Mississippi, as
our orders will show.
1t has important advantages over machines
heretofore used. as will be evident upon inspec-
ton.
1t has an open seed box, and the seed in the
box and in the process of dropping is in plain
view of the driver, so that he will not be liable
to miss by letting it run out of seed.
1t is easy to handle and guide on the ridge,
whether straight or curved.
IT will drop regular. and never miss or clog
with clean or foUl seed.

ease, known as venerial, in any form, you can
be cured Il care not in what stage 1t may pre-

that internal treatment for the purpose of eff

is useless. and, that in large proportion Of
cases, ii absolutely does more harm than good.
While under my method of external medical
cation, which is pleasant ard agreeable to the

perhaps, four hundred persons. To.
morrow | shall issue, probably, to nearly
as many more. This shows restitution
of the most appalling character. Some
of these poor creatures have come twenty

themselves to where they might receive

ever, live in my immediate neighborhood.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONTRADICTION

CONSTITUTIONAL CONTRADICTIONS =
The National Republican shows the
conflict between the Congressional
military bill and Tie constitutional
amendment. In the amendment, the
question of suffrage is left to the
States; but in the military bill, pro-
vides for universal and unqualified
suffrage. There are other inconsis-
tences as glaring, and, as the Repub-
Acam says: '"The assumption of the
majority party in Congress is that the
adoption of the Constitutional amend
ment by twenty States will be suffi-
cient to make it part of the Consti-
tuition. That being the case, would
1t not be we'll for Congress to stop
long enough to consider how much of
its own Constitution it has already
violated in the present military recon
struction law?''

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The in
demnity bill was passed, and goes to
the President. Amongst other pro
visions, it forbids all Civil Courts,
State, Federal or Territorial, from
entertaining prosecutions against in
dlvlduals for acts done under procla-
nations or military orders.
WASHINGTON, March THE Houso
proceeded to the election of officers.
The Republicans nominated Co!fay
for Speaker. who received 127 votes.
The Democrats nominated S. s. Mar
shall, who received thirty votes.
Brooks referred to the fact th at seven
teen States were nnrepresept ted, of
which seven were among the original
thirteen. He presented the protest
OF the Democrats against further
proceedings. The Clerk refused to
receive the protest. Colfax resumed
hls seat, and members were sworn in.
ColfaX announced that the President
had signed. within the legal time. all
the bills passed within ten days, ex-
cept that appropriating $4,000 for
the Paris Exposition, which is not
engrossed. A protest accompanied
the army appropriation bill to the
following effect: There are provisions
IN the Act to which attention must
be called. The second section con
tains provisions virtually, in certain
cases, depriving the Pres sident of his
constitutional functions as Com
manderin Chief Of the army. The
sixth section denies certain States
their constitutional right to protect
themselves by means of their own
militia. These provisions are out of
place in the appropriation bill. 1t
would compel the defeat of necessary
appropriations if the President with
held his signature, and he signed it
with protest against the provisions
named. Rules of last House ADOPT
ed, except during this week it shall
be IN order to suspend them.
1t is not probable that the Presi-
dent will send formal message to
Congress tomorrow. It will be very
brief.
There is considerable excitement
about misapprehensions regarding
signing of bills. The bankrupt bill
is law.

WHAT DOES Ir MEAN?-A report
was prevalent in this city, yesterday,
says the Columbus Enquire1., of the
18th ultimo, that the United States
Marshal had a list of all the 800, 900
men "A Muscogee County, and that
proceedings would soon be COM
menced for the contiscation of their
property. 1t is believed, however,
that the Government has directed no
such measures, and that the report is
really the part of a plot to inveigle
men into party organization. 1T
least, occurrences in other parts of
the State warrant such II conclusion.
1t Is said that such reports in the
Counties in the upper part of the
State have been followed by the insi-
dlous suggestion. made to the parties
interested, that there was Il way to
save their property, and it was by
1olninga Loyal League" association. /.
OF course, the idea of escape from
any lustly-incurred penalty by such
q course is ridiculous. No court would
entertain such a Flea for moment,
and the mover Of such Il provision,
us a legal measure, would be over
whclmed with ridicule and contempt.
1t any man has forfeited to the Go
vernment his property, it is, by his
conduct, now past and irreclaimable.
Oaths OF future fidelity to the Go
vernment may be required of him,
but no party association can absolve
him.
Harsh and unforgiving as the pre-
sent temper of the party dominant in
the country seems to be, we do not
believe it has yet resolved to COM
mence the work of confiscation.
