VINO ARE THE TnAGrons -Wehavc
heard ola great deal about traitors
during the past eight years. let us
sec who composes the class of persons
to-day. The Constitution of the l.. S.
must be the standard by which men
are to be judged.
The Constitution says The House OF
Representatives shall be composed of
members chosen BY the people of the
several States.
Congress says it shall be composed
of members from such States as it
plcases.
The Constitution says the trial Of
all crimes, except in eases of impeach.
.mont, shall be by jury.
Congress says they shall be by a
.brigaaitr generalof the regular army,
by subordihates by him selected.
I The Constitution says the powers
|,not delegated to the United States by
that instrument arc reserved to the
St"tos ro"pootisoly tc tAo r.> 81.
Congress claims all pcwor5 exorcis-
,ed By the British Parliament, and de-
mics that the people or the States
have any.
The Constitution says that no State
without its consent shall be deprived
of its equal suffrage in the Senate
Congress deprivcs ten States of their
entire representation, and one State Of
| one half.
The Constitution says the United
States shall guarantee to each State a
Republican form of government.
Congress forces upon ten States a
military government, and .cnforccs it

negro as we'll rs whites.
The Constitution says that those
qualified in each State by the laws
thereof, to vote for members Of the
State Legislature, shall elect mem
bcrs of Congress.
All these clauses every Senator ant
Representative in Congress have sol.
cmnly sworn to maintain. Instead O.
doing SO they have violated them all
, and many more besides thus render
ing themselves not only guilty O
treason, but of the rankost perjury.

Selected Poetry.
THE IDEAL AND THE REAL:

A tall. majestic lady,
With locks Of deepest dye,
a silkcn dress, whose gorgcousncss
Delights no other eye.
A pretty little cottage,
With ivy covcr'd Ger,
And she, my pride, my fancy's bride,
Expectant at the door.
Soft music in the gloamitt
Ebbs gurgling from her throat
While lio still. and drink my fill
OF each love burdencd note.
Days spent in sweet communion
:, Meath shade Of lcafy trees
Wdwoo and sing, and cv'rything
Is poetry and ease.
A tiny fairy hcing
Lies nes ling on my breast;
As tired of play, she seems to say,
"This is my rigiltflt' rest"
And in those DHby features,
So beautiful and mild,
Methinks trace another face,
The mother Of my child.
slight, but comcly lady,
With rippling chesnut hair:
a cotton dress, in which, no less,
She looks extremely fair;
a busy, bustling beauty,
On household duties bent,
Who speaks, the while, with happy smile,
Ofkindness and content
a. )ittlo house in London
No ivy and no flowers
But what care we for botany
That little house is 0 lrs.
And often in the evening,
When we hear so me we'll known cry,
Or tramp Of feet along the street,
We smile. my wife and |.
No little fairy daughter
Nesting confidently;
Four healthy boys, whose ceaseless noise
Bringe childhood back to me.
Yet these prosaio blessings,
Ofwhich have my share,
In peace and love. soar far above
My castles in the air.

TEE INDIAN WAR.-ssJ. ". W." writes an
excellent letter from Junction City to the
Washington Chrohjcle in regard to Indian
affairs, which concludes as follows:
There have been TOO many peace COM
missions, too much spent, too many tele-
grams furnished hengry public East,
Who know not the true existence of affairs
on the frontier; too many individuals who
have been sucking the public teat in the
form of Indian agencies, contractors and
commissioners, for the good Of either the
public or savages. What is wanted now is
to let General Sheridan alone in his epdeav-
ors to conquer a lasting peace; to let him
have troops and arms enough to whip down
these prairie rufians, and not let him be
hampered and circumvented by the state
ments of those who know not the actual sit
uation of affairs, in order that miscreant
and blood leeching contractors,z Indian
agents, and general thieves may gobble up
the spoils and incite the Indians to further
violence and mischief.
In what say, the majority of settlers in
Western Kansas will agree with me.

A MYsrERr.-It is mystery..to most people
how . combination af medicines put up under
one name can have sufficient curative powers
to cure 50 many different diseases, and often
the very best of rsmedies are discarded or
branded a. hunbugs bessuse they are recon-
mended to cure so many complaints. This
nomenclature Of diseases would seem to imply
some essential difference between the diseases
thus distinguished, whereas, they are really
one and the same disease, merely differing by
the amount of Inflammation or irritation in
one organ rather than the other. For instance,
from torpid state Of the Liver we have Jaun-
dice, Nervous and Sick Headache, Bilious Fe-
yer. Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, Constipation,
Neuralgia, and innumerable complaints under
high.sounding names, ell arising from disor-
dered state of the Liver. Hence, We say, in
vigorats that important organ, purge out the
vile accu mutation with Roback's Blood Pills,
and, once restored to vigor, take Roback's
Blood Purifier or Stomach Bit ers to keep it
performing its regular functions. and you will
be no longer troubled with these many all
ments.

~ WHEN the Plantation Bitters were
first made known to the American people
some seven years ago, it vas supposed that
they were an entirely new thing. and
had never before been used. So far e.
their general use in the United States is
concerned, this may be true. It is also true
that the same Bitters were made and sold
in the Island Of st. Thomas, over forty
years ago, as any old planter, merchant or

Indies will tell you. Is distinctly within
my recollection that on the return of my

orders for this Bitters. It viii soon be on sale,
