The Louisville Courier says. n0ur
Washington special reports that the
scheme Of securing the electoral votes
Of the reconstructed States for Grant,
by taking the choice Of electors out
Of the hands Of the, people and re-
hitting il TO the bogus Legislatures
elected by Grants bayonets, has been
abandoned BY the Radicals. They
found that, IL Is a,gamey that, two can
play al. The Democrats have the
Legislatures of Ohio, New Jersey,
and New York, and a prospect Of
carrying enough Legislatures 10 the
North to elect Seymour and Blair,

The Cleveland Pain Dealer, a very
rabid Radical journal, is By no means
hopeful of carrying Ohio for Grant
and Colfax, on the contrary Il shows
how easily the State can and will be
carried for Seymour and Blair Il
dilates as follows:
The State of Ohio was carried for
the Republican party, last fall, by
less than three thousand majority.
A change Of one vote to the Dcmoc-
raey from the Republicans in each
ward aud township oftbe State would
wipe out the majority, and give the
State to the Democracy, Let Ohio
Republicans ponder this. Let them
consider that they are as yet by no
means out Of the wilderness.

THERE is no medicine prepared that has

IIooFLASD's GERMAN BITrERs.-This article
is looked upon by those who are not ac-
quainted with it, as most patent medicines are
a mere claptrap to catbh The simple. 1t is not
in reality Patent Medicine, but genuine
article, prepared by men who have an intimate
ACQUAINTANCE with medicine, and the require
ments of the system when laboring
under disease. For Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plant, Nervous Debility, &c., it has no equal.
We know of a number Of persons who suffered
for years with these complaints, until they
were relieved by a trial Of this remedy, and
one person in particular, who suffered from
Dyspepsia for ten years, desires us to state for
the information of the public, that he has
been entirely relieved and restored, he be-
lieves, by the nse of this article alone.
The above is taken from the editorial col

speaks volumes.
