for all diseases of the skin; having effected
radical cIre in every case in which it used,
curing many obstinate cases Of fifteen TO TWEEN

all remedies prescribed by the best medical tai
ent Of the country. Its efecti is ast onishinE, in
few days the soreness and irritation is remoy-
ed: the skin becomes smooth and healthy, and
remains permanently healed, without the use
OF any other remedy.
Thus, TETTER, SALT-RHEUM, IrCs, Sol

and every form of disease of the skin is pune
tually cured, no matter of hsw long standing.

The VOTING IN ALABAMA.

The district commander in Alabama has or
dered the polls at the ensuing election to be
kept open for four days. Throughout this
country formany years past, it has been found
that one day is sufficient for an election. In
the great State of New York the votes are all
taken between sunrise and sunset, and so like
wise in the States Of the far West. People
who do not take enough interest to go to the
polls on election day, have no right to demand
that the ballot boxes be kept open for their
benefit. Moreover, this extension of time
furnishes an incentive, and gives an opportu-
nifty for fraud The party in charge of the
ballot boxes, if they frd themselves in mi
noIity at the close of the poll, are very likely
to stuff the boxes, exchange ballots and tam
per with the lists. In Richmond, at the re-
cent election, the white candidates were
ahead in the first days voting. General
Schofeld ordered the polls to be reopened
and on the second day, the radical managers
secured the city for black voters, and even
brought in hundreds from the country. They
were thus enabled TO overcome the white ma
jority. at an election like that which is TO
take place in Alabama, in which only one
party will actively participate, the facilities
for this sort Of fraud will be vastly increased
At the close of each days voting the radical
committees will know exactly how many votes
they are behind the required majority, and
they will resort to every expedient to make
up the number. The military authorities
seem determined that the radicals shall win,
and they offer sort of voting saturnalia to
the negroes. If they cannot carry the State
with all this in their favor, they might as well
abandon the hope Of reconstructing any
Southern State under the radical programme.
We hope that our Alabama friends will watch
the polls closely and see, at least that the
ballot boxes are not stuffed with fraudulent
votes. They have hard work before them;
but if they accomplish it they will receive the
thanks Of the great Democratic party of the
country and of their fellow citizens throughout
the South.

GOVERNMENT SUPPLIES TO PLANTERS.

We learn that many planters in town yes
terday were much gratifed at the late order
providing for their assistance through the
agency Of the freedmen's bureau. They re-
gard it as a cheering ray of light breaking
upon the planting and commercial interests of
Louisiana. An intelligent merchant Of our
acquaintance expresses the conviction that it
will result in adding 500 900 bales of cotton
to the next crop. 1t relieves planters from
their previous dependence for supplies upon
merchants unwilling and really unable to sell
goods on credit, and divides risks of future
losses between them and the government.
Inasmuch as the government has under
taken TO provide subsistence for destitute
freedmen, it is a clear requirement of
economy that the government should also, if
possible provide work by which such freed
men may sustain themselves. The agricul-
tural situation in the South has become such
as to make it necessary TO assist planters with
supplies, in order TO extend assistance to
freedmen with a reasonable prospect Of the
ultimate refunding of money expended in this
way. But the number of freedmen tax
ing part in this process, will comprise a
limited and select class. For planters, in
accepting supplies on the terms of the order
referred to, viii become guarantors Of the
faithful and efficient labor of the freedmen
whom they employ. In default of such
labor, they viii find themselves at the end of
the season owing a debt which will swallow
up their meager crops, and, perhaps, even
their farming utensils and working stock
Hence it will be Of vital importance for those
who may try planting with freedmen on the
conditions indicated, that they should dis
eliminate carefully in engaging laborers,
selecting only such as are likely to amply in
dsmnify them for their stipulated obligations
to government agencies.
