WHEN the PLAsrATIoN BirTERs were first made
known to the American people, some seven years
ago, II was supposed they were an entirely new
thing, and had never before been used. So far as
their general in the United States is concerned
this may be true 1t is also true that the same Bit
tcrs made and sold in the Island of St. Thomas
forty years ago, as any old planter merchant or
sea captain doing business with the H,est Indies
will tell you. 1t is distinctly within my recolec-
tion that on the return of my father (who was sea
captain and doing extensive trade in the tropics
he would invariably have the Bitters among the
ships stores, and our family sdeboard was never
without them. For any sickness, it matters not how
severe or riing the decanter Of these Bitters by
different name was always resorted to n sovereign
remedy.

The Truth-ln Black and White.

Mr.. Jerry Black, as presiding officer of a

Before the war our current expenses
were less than scventy-fve millions now
they are nearly four hundred millions, be-
sides the interest on the national debt and
without counting what is stolen in transitu." "
From June ], 1865, to June /, 1858,

GOLD Down BONDS UP!-Every Union
man remembers that whenever the Union
soldiers gained victory during the late
rebellion, gold would go down and United
States securities go up. Such are the con-
sequences now. Before the Vermont cleo
tion was held, gold was up to 81 48 40.
Since the Maine election capped the climax
on Monday last, golo receded below 81 Al,
and the United States bonds have increased
in value accordingly. In other words, the
result of a Republican victory is always ir
favor of the working man. Whenever gold
goes down the produce consumed by the
laborer must fall correspondingly.
Every person remembers that during the
dark days of MClellan's unfortunate cam,
paign, the Government was scarcely able to
borrow money enough to purchase provisions
for the army in the field, and the brave sol
diers was compelled to do without his pay
for months. The bonds were sold much
below par, and even during the last days Of
Buchanan's administration TWELVE PER
CENT. INTEREST WAS PAID by the Secretary
of the Treasury for the necessary funds to
pay the current expenses ofthe Government.
These facts ought to be remembered by
every voter on the second Tuesdy of October.
Every man who has dollar in his posses
sion is interested in the success of the cleo
tion of Gen. Grant. With his election specie
payments will be resumed by the National
Government, and the necessities of life can
then be purchased at former prices.

A Card of Thanks.

ED's JOURNAL Permit me, through
the columns Of your paper, to express
our sincere qualification for the donation
visit paid us by our friends at River
Falls, on The evening of December 4th,
wherein we find life's exigencies provided
for to the amount of s200-S5O in cash
with cellar larder and wardrobe re-
plenished with substantials, leaving
out of the LIST stacks of pies and loaves
of cake, such as the ladies of River
Falls know how to manufacture, togeth-
err with The bits and ends of exquisites,
sufficient to serve rs dessert for long
time, The most agreeable part, howev-
er, was the spontaneous outburst of the
aged and the young, to the number of
two hundred and twenty-five faces radi-
ant with generous feeling. We beg leave
to express our heartfelt thanks to each and
every one participating in the offering, of
which we feel ourselves unworthy. And
it is our hope that nothing shall occur to
cause an individual participant to feel
that the Offering was misapplied.

lantern concern, but finely executed
paintings. 1t is accompanied with a
very interesting and entertaining lecture,
given by Mr.. WISELY, which alone is
worth twice the price of admission.
We feel safe in saying that whoever
attends will be repaid four fold the troub-

The Presidents Message.

We publish the Presidents Message in
our supplement this week. 1t is written
10 the peculiar style of ANDY JOHNSON,
and he has made it vehicle to carry a
few of bis pet theories before the people.
We believe it is long enough to test the
patience of our most patient reader;
abusive enough to excite the anger Of
the most dispassionate, and sufficiently
contemplate to merit. the disgust of ey-
cry true republican.
His denunciation Of the reconstruction
nets Of congress was uucalled-for, Ill
timed and needless. Congress he blames
Cor everything. The disturbed condition
of affairs at The south, the arrangement
of business, and the ill-feeling existing
between The two races are the direct re
suit of unconstitutional laws, passed by
congress under the influences of party
passions and sectional prejudices, In
time pas, AsDT JOHNSON has almost in
yariaLlv vetoed the acts of congress
passed for southern restoration, and when
that availed nothing, he has not hesitated
20 SHREK unconstitutional And this
il the entire burden of his song in that
part Of his message relating to congress.
The theory Of paying the nation
nj debt which he ventilatos amounts
to neither moro nor less than repu.
diatiou. He advises discontinuance
of the interest rightfully belonging to
the bond-hoider, and is application to
the payment of the debt. He means,
in short, TO repudiate the interest on the
public debt, and use the amount thus
gained 10 pay tie principal. if we re-
puIiate the interest, the question natural
" ar:.es, Why not pay the principal in the
came manner Strictly speaking, one
is as near right as the other. The the
DRY affords convenient step to total re-
pudation, and that is all it amounts to.
Alter carefully reading this singular
document it seems almost incredible that
its author was few years ago, firm
supporter apd an eloquent advocate of
republican principles, and was elected
Vice President of this nation upon the
platform of the republican party. Had
he proved faithful to the great trust re
posed in him he would to day, stand
among the first of those whom the ua-
ton delights to honor. But his apostasy
is complete and incurable; and when he
leaves his high Office and retires to the
quiet of private life, the voices that viii
be heard to exclaim ' well done, good and
faithful servant" will be /" like angels
visits few and far between"

Cuban Affairs.

The Cuban Instruction is still pro-
crossing though it is matter of doubt
which side is ahead, We are in sympa-
thy with the party of liberty and free
dom, if either fight under that banner.
AS near as we can judge the opposing
factions are set of lazy, unprncipled
royalists on one side and gang of
worthless adventures on the other
If this be the case we view the struggle
in the same light California chap did
lively fight between couple of John
Cinnamon when he remarked be 'sdidn't
care picayune whether John whipped
John or John got whipped
