SHOWN the riot" at Austin TO have been
sheer fabrication, tire violence at Cotton Plant
imaginary, and yet not a retraction has been
made; but on the contrary the same general
charge OF" terrorism and Intimidation daily
reiterated. Under cover the din thus made,
it was hoped that frauds against the white
men would escape notice.
We desire the conservatives Of the State to
look into the matter OF voting in every pre-
cnct, which they can easily do through thcir
clubs, and see if they have not likewise been
the victims of fraud. Many of the registrars,
as in Johnson county,are VIGOROUSLY untrust'
worthy, and their conduct should be closely
,crutinizcd. II is due to history that the means
which are being used to fastcn upon the State
the rule of her cdaaille should be made of rec
ord, that radicalism may incur that eXecra-
tion which its crimes againstcivilzation just
" merit. .. ..

Books and Periodicals..

Prof. J. P. Lacroix, of the Ohio Wes-
leyan University, has been using his
spare hours, since his return from Eur
ope, in preparing from the French of
/ NJ. de Pressense, a work on the reIig-
| ioIs phases of tho EEa1aoh RaxoIntinn-It It
is now in press at Carlton & Lanahan's,
New York, and viii be out in a few
weeks.
| From perusa1 of advance sheets, we
feel confident that the book will be one
of no ordinary interest. It discusses
and throws new light upon some of the
most interesting problems ofrecent and
history. All of us
know that since the days of Washing
ton and Franklin, no such genuine en-
! thusiasm for Liberty has been manifes-
ted as at the outset of the French Revo-
luton. But why so different and sad a
result? Why did Liberty in France
lead only to naassacres as cruel and hOr-
rid as those of Marius and Syla? to
vice and immortality as base as in the
| days of Nero and Comm0dus to the
! terrorism of Robespierre and the despot-
ism of Napoleon Why did the favor
/ ties of the people turn out to be such
rem norseless monsters as Danton, Marat,
| Desmoulins and st. Just? What were
the occasion and the temporary success
of the attempt to place Atheism on the
throne of Christianity? When bitter
persecution assaulted the Papal Church,
was she able to show any heroic exam
pies Of genuine faith? What were the
motives and the precise religious views
of Napoleon? Was he, on the whole, a
benefactor to France? What is the safest
policy of civil government towards
Catholicism? 1t is questions of this
class that this book examines with great
fulIness, and determines in the light
Christian philosophy.
For the present we Will subjoin the
following testimonial of the work from
Rev. DR.. Wiley:
CINCINNATI, Sept. 4, 1868.
4 Having read the translation OF NJ. de
Pressense's Religion & the Reign of
Terror in the manuscript of Prof. La
crOiX, am prepared to recommend it
as a most interesting and valuable con-
tributiOn to the literatue, of one of the
most instructive periods OF the worlds
history.
As history it is most valuable in pre-
ssntiDg the French Revolution in a light
IN which it is but seldom viewed. In
the principles which it deduces from
this great cOnvulsion in France, it is
intensely interesting and instructive. 1t
will be a welcome book to every chris
tian and iberty-loving reader. The au-
thor is one of the ablest writers of the
age, and the translating is excellently
done, J. W. WILEY,
Editor Ladies' Repository.

PURIFY TIE BDooD.-It is eOnceded by the
most eminent medical men, that the blood
is the fruitful parent OF disease, by serving
as a vehicle through which noxious sub
stances contaminate the flesh by absorption.
The foetid contents OF the bowels, If long
retained by constipation, are often taken mp
by the veins or absOrbents. Various morbid
products, such as pus and saines Of unheal-
thy ulcers, occasionally ind their way into
the blood vessels, which result in seated
cases Of ScrofuIa OF Kings EVIL, Erysipelas,
Salt Rheum, Ulcers, Eruptive and Cutane-
Gus Diseases of the. Skin, Enlargement Of
Glands, Pains in the Head, Sides and Back,
st. Vitus' Dance, Pleurisy, Dizziness, Tu-
mors, Gripping and Cholie Pains, &C., all of
which diseases readily yield to the powerful
influence Of Doctor RO6Gck's Blood Purifier,
which searches out all the vile humors and
distempers, leaving the blood in a pure and
healthy condition.
The many valuable Ingredients OF which
the Blood Purifier is composed being adapted
to each other strictly according to the laws
Of chemical science, makes it one OF the
most valuable alteratfUes and system renoUa-
tors OF the present age, and its success as a
great medicine must increase so long as dis
ease continues to vex the soul of man. n.
