Cure for ChiIls.

About two years since VIC stated tina,
n citizen OF this vicinity had told us
that he had broken and cured n spell OF
chills and fever by the use Of pure ap-
pie vinegar, drinking abOnta wine glass
full Mt a time ut intervals between the
time for the return Of the chill.
The Rome Courier reports cures by
the same course in this neighborhood.
1t says that a lady friend has known
this receipt to be used in many cases,
and has never failed In curing chills
and fever "Take a wineglass- full ofthe
best apple vinegar for nine mornings in
this way: Take it three successive days,
and so on, until the vinegar has been
taken nine mornings in all 1t must be

mLET Us HAHE PEACEW

With these words, Gen. Grant, in his letter
of acceptance summed up the political situa-
ton with the same unconscious felicity as
when, before SpOttsylvania Court-HO in
1864, he epitomized the military status in the
electric sentence-"I propose to fight it out on
{" this line if it takes all Summer" Victory,
decisive and complete, was then the Nations
prime requirement-now it is Peace-true, real,
lasting Peace.
That Peace the Democratic party will not,
cannot give, because it proclaims and builds
upon an eternal, implacable antagonism of
Race-because it holds Black and brown men
created to be the vassals if not the chattels of
White men. True Democracy insists on the
Equal Rights of Men: that spurious, sham
Democracy which opposes Grant and COlfax
asserts that This is White Mans govern
"ment," wherein none but Whites have any
natural right to vote or be voted for. That
party, if successful next Fall, is bound to do
its utmost to divest of the Right of Suffrage
the Three Millions of our countrymen enfran-
chised by the Reconstruction acts and remand
them to the state of serfdOm wherein their
brethren in Maryland, Kentucky, and other
Democratic States, now are. This to incite
new War of Races-tO evoke new horrors like
those Of San Domingo where Emancipation
was peacefully, legally joyOusy effected, but
Reinstatement, though never contaminated,
whelmed the whole island in cOnAagration and
massacre Give us Peacel
The official call for Soldiers anti Republi-
can, anti Grant Convention, asserts that
1.-THE purpose Of this Convention is TO advise and CO.
operate with the Democratic party In presenting to the
nation candidate for President who will command the
the war; abolish the military despotsms now ruling the
South give back TO the Southern States the rights OF self
government and Of equal and fraternal Union
store 10 the nation economical and constitutional Gov
eminent"
This, then, is the conservative" arraign-
ment of the Republican party. Now let us see
what that party has said for itself on
these points, in one of the resolves unani-
mously adopted by its late National Conven-
ton at Chicago:
hesgittd That We highly commend the spirit OF mag
h,anlIly ana iOfbearance with which the who |
cooperate Win us In restoring the peace OF the
~ am constructing the Southern State Governments
Pou we OASIS OF impartial Justice and equal rights are

AS was foreshadOwed in the action of the
House on Thursday, the peculiar feature Of
Mr.. Schenck's Tax bill, that endowing the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue with full
powers to appoint all subordinate officials in
the service, was eliminated yesterday, after a
severe struggle. Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Garfield
led the assault against the innovating measure,
and, the Democrats rallying to their support,
carried the day by the vote Of GA to as. Mr..
Schenck takes his defeat much to heart, and
declares that it destroys the force of the bill.
1t is possible that the event may materially
change the course of legislation on the Internal
Tax, and that new and briefer bill may be
proposed, which will be favored by those de-
srOus of an early adjournment.

Chicago has as many natural disadvantages
to overcome in attempting the creation of
Parks. as Cheyenne City would have in be-
coming seaport. Its hills all have gradual
and very slight descent from the circumfer-
ence toward the top, which is generally a few
feet under water. It's drainage is performed
by gradual sinking of portion of the sur
face water into the earth, the evaporation of
another portion, and the sluggish upward move
ment of the remainder into the lake. The
soil along the borders of the lake would be
sandy if sand ever could be styled sandy. II
is relieved by hills and adorned by streams of
the character we have mentioned. Yeee-
tation as it approaches the lake seems
to be inspired with great Difference
for that magnificent expanse of waters,
for it sinks modestly down to dimensions that
in confessedly cold climates are set down as
dwarfsh." The sole remaining qualification
of Park would be good pure air desidera-
tum which in the Chicago Parks is improved
upon by the aroma of hundreds of distilleries
and thousands of pens for the reception of
agricultural fOcks and herds-nOt TO put too
fine point upon it, of cattle and hogs. Never
theless, the enterprising people of Chicago are
at work upon their Lincoln and Union Parks,
with a faith that cannot only remove noun
tains but if necessary. create them. They are

HOUSE, June ga number OF bills OF a private
character were disposed of.
In Committee of the Whole, the Tax bill was
taken up. A number of amendments &c. the
siyth section giving the appointments OF all
Revenue officers to the Commissioner were
offered and rejected after much debate, when
the final question was taken on the amendment
of Mr. Garfield to strike out the section, re-;
sultine. Yeas "a; Nays45. The sections of the bill
were taken up in order as far as the 21st, and
numerous amendments were offered and dis
posed of.
SENATE, June 5.-The bill to legalize the
coin contracts of the Government was passed.
The Deficiency Appropriation bill was con-
Cured in and sent 60 the President.
The bill to admit the States of North Caro-,
lima, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, and
Florida, was taken up. Mr.. Wilson moved TO
amend by inserting Alabama. Debate followed
ON this amendment. No action was reached.

We publish elsewhere the Tariff Bill now
pending before Congress-, the further consid-
Grafton of which was postponed to December
next. A careful examination of its provisions
will show that it aims largely to substitute
specific for al valorem duties, thereby lessen
ing the temptations and the opportunities to
swindle the Government by the use OF fraudu
lent invoices. It also increases the tariff on
some articles, the continued heavy importation
of which, under the duties now imposed,
though they are articles which we have all
the natural resources and ability to produce
shows that the present law has failed to pro-
tect their production by American industry and
capital. With rates of taxation and of wages
exceeding those to which the industry of any
country in Europe is subjected, it cannot be
