Our Late Charter Bill.

Mr.. EDITOR AS is already known to many
OF your readers the efforts lately made to secure
an amended charter for our municipal govern
ment have proved an entire failure do not
now propose to discuss the necessity of such a
measure, suffice it to say that something better
than our present arrangement is deemed of vi
tai Importance for the moral, as well as the
material prosperity of the town, by almost
every rejecting man, woman and child of this
community, and it was under this impression
that the proposed measure was set ON foot, and
after having been approved by several of our
most judlclOus citizens was presented to the
Legislature for their consideration. l propose
to make a few reflections upon the history OF
the case and there let it rest for the present.
1t is also known that the bill met with the
most determined opposition from our fellow
tOwnsman Mr. John III. Bewley who held the
honorable position Of Senator in that body.
MIR. B., had, of course, a perfect right to op-
pose the bill both as citizen of the town and
as Senator, but was it good taste for him as
Senator to call persons into his place of bust
ness and to go from house to house with the
bill in his hands making such comments upon
it as would most certainly prejudice their minds
and to solicit their names to a remOnstrancC
against it? But there is no accounting for
tastes, Mr.. Bewley has a perfect right to hi
rcmonstrance, but he had no right to repre-
sent to those upon whom he called for theil
signatures, certain gentlemen who had at first
favored the bill, were then opposed to it, un
less those gentlemen had authorized him to
make such a statement. Mr. B. had perfect
right to oppose the bill by all no norable mean,
on the floor of the Senate Chamber, but he haC
no right to state that the bill had been drawn
up surrepticiously, and that the names of peti
TONERS for it had been obtained by deception
and intrigue. Did he study we'll the meaning
Of such language? He had perfect right t
say whatever he could truthfully, on the foo
of the Senate Chamber in favor of those whC
signed his remonstrance, but he had no righ
to insinuate at the same time that those whC
favored or petitioned for the bill were un
worthy of consideration. For such language
his constituents will hold him to strict account
But | have done, the responsibility of its de
feat rests upon ex-senator Bewley, and he will
be held accountable for the consequences fo
whatever evil might have been averted or gooC
secured by its passage. FAIR PLAY.

The Bill for the protection of property be-
longing to married women which was similar
to enactments that have been made in several
States on the same subject upon being acted
upon in the Senate was defeated. Mr. Pawn

PERRY DAVIS PAIN kILLER.-We hav
often spoke Of this great medicine in terms o.
very high praise, and We have as often fel.
that all We could say in Its fovor would not d
it full justice. 1t is one of those medicines o.
which we can speak-and speak decisiyely-
from experience; !; for we have repeatedly taken
it, and invariably with the best results and the
greatest satisfaction. We alwaye keep it ON
hand, ready for emergency, and We regard it
not only as one of the very best and most re-
liable of medicines in use for various ills, but
as one of the cheapest, also. Its costs, by tn.
way-that is the cost Of all ingredients of
which it is cOmpOsed-has been considerably
increased, but the price of the medicine HIS
been but very little advanced. 1t is not likel,
that the popularity of Davis Pain Killer will
in any measure decrease, or that the deman
for it will in the slightest degree decline, until
some other specific for allaying pain and curn;
the various complaints for which it is so gene
rally used, shall be discovered, of equal poten-
cy with it-ot which there seems to be littl,,
probability. As remedy for stomach COM
plants, such as dysentery, diarrhea, &C., the
Pain Killer is without doubt unsurpassed, ami
everywhere most deservedly in demand One,
two, or three doses, Of teaspoOnful each, in
wine glass of milk and water. with little
sugar, have repeatedly, within our knowledge
efectually cured serious trouble of this kind
Judgment should undoubtedly be used in not
checking certain stages of diarrh9a too sud
denly; but taken at the proper time, the Pain
Killer will act like u charm, and frequently
cure when nothing else will-Irouidence -ld-

Fcrnelius calls disease an affection of the
body, contrary to nature a purtdbation of its
habit u arrangement of its courses. What
disease is, sometimes eludes human intelligence,
but some diseases are known-their origin, ac-
ton and even their antidotes. Whoever has
discovered an actual remedy for one disease,
has done something for his race. Doct. Aver
has done more, for his medicines afford us the
means to control and cure several dangerous
disorders. We rarely speak on medical sub
jects, preferring to leave them to physicians,
fects as are seen in our midst, on affections of
the lungs by Ayers Cherry Pectoral, on scro-
fulous complaints by his Sarsaparilla, and on
the several complaints that they cure by Ayers
Pills, should not be ignored. .-Keokuk Io,ca1
