Liuimsnt which manufactured under the
name Of "Dr. A. G. Braggs Mexican Mus
tang Liniment." This article, whilst manu-.
tactured by ma, was all which claim for II,
cheap and reliable Lnimsnt and soon
gained widespread popularity. Increased
experience snd continued investigation have,
oe course, enlarged my knowledge Of the cura'
tive virtues Of such remedies and thoir adap-
tation to the diseases Of the human race.
Believing could meet the demand Of the
public and greatly contribute to the relief Of
me afflicted Thousands, I have devised new
Linimsnt which possesses all the virtues Of
those I invented many years ago, with such
improvements which my late experience and
research have led mo to adopt. claim for
"Dr. A. g. Brsgg's Improved Imminent"

That's tho Way the Money Gees

"Mack, tho Washington correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial, states that
the public printing office has just turned
out one Of the finest pieces Of typographi.
cal workmanship ever executed in this
country. It is o volume of $40 pages,
''!S about the size Of a large pulpit or family
key morocco, costing thirty.seven dollars

sions Of coincidence, abroad and at home,
on tho death Of Mr.. Lincoln. It embra.
ces every thing on the subject, from
Queen Victoria's letter to the resolutions
Of town meeting in Boone county, Mis-.

It is further stated that the amount Of
money spent upon this work exceeds
100000. No fact is more patent than
that the majority in Congress is perfectly
reckless iu regard to the expenditure Of

The only apuihiIator Of this scoupge

you can see it very plain.

At tho Democratic meeting hold in this

Why We arc Taxed,

An exchange asks: "What aro ws
taxed fory" Well, sir, pretty much as
follows:
"First, to free negroes, and make them
your equals.
Second, to support negroes in idlsness
and thereby mako them superior.
"Third, to keep up an army to overawe
you and destroy your liberties"
The above, and about hundred other
similar things, is what you are taxed for.

Progress Of Impeachment.

The impeachment trial appears to be
drawing to close. The Senate met as
Court on Monday last, and after few
preliminaries, went into secret session.
The first thing done was tho adoption Of
the following as tho form in which tho
vote shall be taken:
"On each article tho Chief Justice shall
submit the following questions to each
Senator:
"lst. DO you believe Andrew John.
son guilty Of this article as charged?'
"2d. DO you believe this constitutes o
high crime and misdemeanor ?"
This leaves an opportunity for Ssua-
tors to declare Dir. johnson guilty as
charged, and yet not guilty Of high
crimes and misdcmeauors. Tho day was
then occupied 10 debating the articles Of
impeachment, under tho fifteen minute
rule. Henderson spoke against the frat
eight articles, but for want Of time said
nothing about the other three. His
friends, however, claim that he will vote
for the eleventh, and perhaps the tenth.
Trumbull and Fsssondeu both denounced
the articles in toto, the latter stating ths.
sono of them were miserable pretexts.'
The House hearing the news (bsing 10
SESSION. is said to havo adjourned in
great confusion, and rushed almost in q
body to the Senate. They could not en-.
