THE ITALIAN TROUBLES. s.-The trou-
bles in Italy are ascribed by the Lon
don Times to the different parties in
the Imperial Parliament, none of
which are able to govern, or are will
ing to allow the others to govern.
According to this authority, Italy is
in danger of dissolution, and from
internal disorders rather than from
foreign violence. It is not only by
France or Austria, not by the Pope
or by the Bourbon, that the ruin of
Italy can ever be compassed. If Italy
falls, it will be by her own hand
by the improvidence and infatuation,
by tho blind selfshness of her lead
ing men.

DEBILITY AND EnIACIATION-
Both result from the lack of ability to con-
vert the food into nutriment. How neces-
sary, then, for those suffering from these
alarming symptoms to Immediately resort
to remedy that will strengthen the stem
ach and digestive organs. For, as soon as
this desirable object has been accom-
plished, the health improves, and the pa =
tient resumes his usual personal appear
ance.
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERs
have attained worldwide popularity in
such cases, and have been proven the best
and safest means of removing constipa-
ton, toning the stomach, giving energy to
the liver and relieving every symptom of
nervousness and depression of spirits.
Its cheering and beneficial effects are
highly spoken of by thousands, who owe
to 1T their restoration to health. No resto-
rativc in the annals of medicine has at
tanned the same popularity in tho short
space Of time it has been before the pub
lie, or has won tho high endorsements
accorded to this excellent tonic. Many
other preparations, purporting to be cor
receives and restoratives, have been intro
duced, and have perished one by one,
while the popularity of Hostctter's Stom-
ach Bitters continues to increase, and is
now recognized as standard household
medicine. The success which attends the
use of the Bitters evinces at once it's vir-
tues in all cases Of debility and diseases of
the stomach. Certificates, almost without
number, have been published, attesting
it's truly miraculous power in removing
those painful and fearful diseases. And at
this time 1T seems idle to do more than
call attention to the great remedy of the
age, in order to awaken public attention to
its excellence. 1t is the only preparation
OF the kind that is reliable in all cases,
and it is therefore worthy of the conside-
ration of the afflicted. Jan 90 CT

The Registry Law.

The Pennsylvania Legislature, at its last
session, passed supplementary act to the
election laws of this Commonwealth. I'm
der this law new duties are made lncum-
bent upon the County Commissioners, and
the Assessors If the Commissioners have
not, as yet, taken the requisite steps for the
enforcement of the law, they should not
delay the matter much longer. The fol-
lowing clause from the First section of the
supplementary act defines the preliminary
duties of the Commissioners.
SIN order to carry this law into effect for
the present year, it shall be the duty of the
Commissioners of the respective counties of
this Commonwealth, within sixty days after
the passage of this act, to cause afphabetl-
cal lists of the persons returned by the AS
SCISSORS as having been assessed In the sew
eral districts for the present year to be made
out and placed in the hands of the respect
i've Assessors.
The following brief statement embodies
the substance of the instructions that it will
be necessary for the Commissioners to give
to Assessors, to enable the latter to make a
proper Registry:
First-Name and occupation of every vo-
ter.
Second-Ascertain whether he is house
keeper or not. State where he resides and
in villages, on what Street and No if any.
If in the employ of any one, give the name
of employer, and write opposite his name,
the word voter"
Thlrd-Whe naturalization papers are
produced, write opposite the name the let
ter n. When it is known to the Asses
sQr that the person assessed has voted at
WORD voter Without production of natur-
alization papers.
Fourth-When the person assessed has
declared his intention to become a citizen
and intends being naturalized before next
election, write opposite his name the letters
SD. l.
Fifth-When the person is between the
agesof 81 and %, write opposite his name
'sage"
Sixth-When the person has moved into
the District since the last general election,
write opposite his name the letter ''R. ~
Seventh-Every person must be assessed
with tax, if not already assessed
Other duties besides the above are to be
performed by the County Commissioners,
and by the assessors and the election officers
with which several duties they should
make themselves familiar, so as to enable
them to perform the same inteligently and
correctly, and in accordance with the true
intent and meaning ofthe law"

Too Much of it.

The leading Democratic organ--the pa
per boasting the largest circulation North
and South-is disgusting many Southern
readers by its baseness of sentiments. The
Democratic editors of the North, who eulo-
gize Pomeroy, and have no word of condem-
nation for his paper or its sentiments, might
take wholesome hint from the following
extract, from the Marion (Alabama) CONF
monrceahh
No man ever lived, perhaps, who had
fewer political friends in the South than
Mr.. Lincoln: but, notwith standing this,
there was no man whose violent death was
more generally lamented among our people.
And we have heard numbers OF Brick Pom
eroy' S Alabama subscrlbers-all of them, in
deed, with whom we have at any time con-
versed-pronounce the treatment extended
by his paper to the memory of Mr.. Lincoln
"a shame and a disgrace to civilization.
The Southern people are not hyenas. They
never tear open the grave OF either friends
or foe to prey upon that which should be
held sacred by all ght-principled survivors
the faults OF the dead

Hard to Beat.

While the small-fry Democratic newspa-
pers, and especially those of the Brick
Pomeroy school, are denouDcing the Repub-
lican candidates, and uttering against them
the most glaring falsehoods, the leading
minds of the party fully appreciate the
strength of the Republican ticket, and the
intrinsic value of its candidates. Thus that
brilliant Democratic journal, the New York
Citizen, says:
''Grant and Colfax make hard ticket to
beat The wonderful military success OF
the one, and the grand political aoillty OF
the other, cannot be written down or bellt-
tied by newspaper editors and the attempt
to do SO is folly only worthy of the late
management of the Democratic party. The
hero of Donelson, Corinth, and most Won
derful of all, of Vicksburg, and finally OF
Richmond, is not third rate General, ard
no literary scribe can make him one. The
gentleman who has worked his way up to
the Speakership of the House OF Represen-
tatives is no bad politician, and those who
buy him for one will not make profitable
bargain. Probably there are not two lead
ing names stronger, Individually or collect
lively than the two which have been put for
ward
This is true, and known to be true by all
intelligent men. There is not an election
district throughout the United States in
which the Chicago nominees will not secure
Democratic votes. no matter who are the
candidates of the Democratic party Grant
and Colfax are not only hard to beat-but
cannot be beaten in the presidential race.

by the way, said General Grant, 81 have
to write that letter. and, as he said 50, he
turned to his desk and wrote it in a few
minutes. After it had been written he call
ed in the members of his staff, and read it
to them. Only one word was objected to,
and the General yielded, and changed it.
The whole thing did not occupy more than
ten minutes, and it was copied and put into
the mails within half an hour.

A New DoDGE.-The way that Demo
cratic voters are made in Virginia. is very
forcibly illustrated by the recent publication
OF the text of the written contract which
the white planters and farmers of that State
are found to be generally making with their
black laborers and renters, this year.
These articles, in addition to the usual
specifications as to care of land, partition of
crops, &c, include an agreement that the
laborer or renter, will, in voting; conform
to the wishes and advice" of his white en-
ployer. As the latter is usually an ex-reb-
ell, or Democrat, or both, the proper infer
ence may be readily drawn.
