ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER

This valuable preparation containing in a
highly concentrated form all the properties
of the Jamaica Ginger, has become one of the
most popular domestic remedies for all dis
eases of the stomach and digestive organs.
As tonic it will be found invaluable to
all persons recovering from debility whether
produced by fever or otherwise, for whilst
it imparts to the system all the glow and
vigor that can be produced by wine or bran
dy, it is entirely free from the reactionary eff
fccts that follow the use of spirits of any kind.
1t is also an excellent remedy for females
who suffer from difficult menstruation giving
almost immediate relief to the spasnis that so
frequently accompany that period.
1t gives immediate relief to Nausea, caused
by riding in railroad Car. or by sea-sickness
or other causes.
1t is also valuable as an external applica-
ton for Gout, Rheumatism. Neuralgia, etc

which stamps it as the most benevolent and

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL Do
They will reduce the expenses OF the
Government one hundred millions of
dollars a year below what they have
been each year for the last three
years. ""'r ''"'.
They will apply from fifty millions
to one hundred millions year to-
ward the reduction of the national
debt. @ fi"i4
They will not issue any more
paper money. $780,.
They will gradually call in the
greenback notes, more equally dis
tribute the banking capital of the,
country, and start at. once on the
road to resumption of specie pay
ment.
This Democratic policy will re-
duce the debt; it will reduce taxes;
it will reduce the price of sugar,
flour, molasses, tea, salt, clothing,
boots and shoes.
Our policy will, in less than three
years, make a g,eenback as good as
gold. ''.'- ''' t1'
Our policy will secure equal and
just taxation of all property.
Our policy will secure the payment
of every bond and every note issued
by the Government, to the last-dol-
lar.
If we thought Horatio Seymour.
would lift finger toward repudia-
ton, we would neither advocate his
election nor vote for him. We be-
lieye in taxing bonds, and paying
every bond issued, according to pro-
mise; those pledged to be paid in
gold, let US pay the gold; and all the
rest let us pay in greenbacks, as fast
as oil the bonds fall due. This is
Seymour's doctrine; it is just what
the Democrats will do. %; 'S'

'DE YANKEE AN DE CATTAPILLA. "
A gentleman planting not far from
Charleston, q few days ago, after
hearing the report of his "driver, ="
who said that the caterpillars were
going ahead in their work of destruc-
ton, suggested some plan for ridding
his fields from this curse, which plan
he had heard Of or read somewhere,
when Jake" looking unusually
solemn and earnest, remarked: cts
no use, massa, we's gwine to ave de
cattapilla jes as long as de Yankee
stay ERE. De Yankee mex de nigga
free, and de nigga he lazy an good
for muffin, kill de hog, kill de sheep,
kill de turkey, kill de fowl, an kill de
bird, an de cattapilla he eat all de
cotton. I tell you, massa, no use
talkin. We can't mex no more cot
ton ere, as long as de Yankee stay
ere. De cattapilla can breed-nufin
to stop en-"
This old dakey was not far
wrong, We apprehend, in his reason
ing. The cattle and the hogs were
turned into the field, and tramped
the moth, eggs and all. The birds
fed on these insects, but since the
school marms have come along, and
have been teaching the colored idea
how to shoot, the birds have either
been killed or have migrated. The
geese, chickens and turkeys, turned
into cotton field, used to clean
it pretty soon of caterpillars. But
now there are no cattle, no sheep, no
hogs, no fowl-all gone, as Jake
said-no domestic animal left but the
caterpillar.
We agree with Jake as to the cause
and eAect-though not with his con-
clusion, that the Yankees must leave
here before we can raise q good cot
ton crop again. Jake, however,
only means Yankee rule, and in this
we are Of the same mind.

so, and L suppose because you misun-
derstood my meaning. The portions
of your letter to which I object are

L promised the Legislature my per.
sonal influence and aid in maintain
ing order and enforcing the laws.
have never advised the people to re-

laws until they can be corrected by

cognlze all laws and will obey them,

incorrect impression of my personal
views, [ might be looked upon as
one desiring q conflict; when, in

been broaght to light by The follow.

MEMPHIS. September 5.-The .Ara-
lanche's Little Rock special, to-day,
says Governor Clayton, of Arkansas,
has prepared instructions for his
registsrs tsor the. registration. now
about to commence. He says,
among the powers and duties of each
register, are to reject any one whom
the registers may, think not entitled
to register, though the applicant has
already taken the oath before magis-
trates, and calls upon tie sheriffs for
sufficient number of armed men to
assist him, and, if not furnished,
then to call upon the commanding
officer for any troops in the State
and q guard to furnish promptly
such aids An applicant for registra-
tion is also required to prove his
innocence by evidence satisfactory to
the register, that he has not been
guilty Of number of specified acts
during number of years, one of
which is that he did not sympa-
thize with the rebellion. If he fails
to establish this, he cannot register,
his oath to the contrary notwith-
standing, unless he voted for the
present Constitution. If the re-
gister is satisfied, or thinks he
ought to be restored, and before
being allowed to register, he must
subscribe to an oath setting forth
that he accepts the civil and politi-
cal equality of all men, and agree
not to attempt to attempt to make
any changes. Ten days before the
election, the boards of registration
meet in each County, with power,
upon their own knowledge or in
formation, to strike from the list
the names of voters they consider
disqualified. By the registration
law, the courts are forbidden to
issue any mandamus or other pro-
cess to registers.
Let Northern men ponder upon
this Infamous scheme, and decide
for themselves whether they will
suffer clear majority of their own
votes to be neutralized and over
come by elections conducted in
such a manner. This is precisely
what is in contemplation, as is plain
upon the face of the "Governor's"
action and his whole programme.
The cry of "Ku Klux outrages" is
mere ruse the better to enable
the rabid leaders of a faction to
stife its own voice.

None but towards, sneak thieves
and camp followers make war upon
disarmed men, who have taken their
paroles and trusted to the honor of
their captors. Yet the whole radical
party are daily invoked by their lead
ers and journals to keep up their war
upon the Southern people. The true
soldiers of the Union army--the
McClernans', the Ewings', the Rosen-
cranzs', the Halpines', the Hancocks', /,
the Blairs'. and all the other brave
leaders of the Federal hosts, have
given the order to "cease firing" It
is only the Greeleys', the Forneys',
the Buffers, and the rest of those
who did no fighting when the war
was going on, who want to do the
fighting, now that the South is dis
armed.
