The Drunkard's Cure.
from the Louisville Courier. I


Some months ago gentleman
took rooms at the United States
Hotel, and advertised that he had
discovered a sure specific for the
cure of drunkardness. He would
not divulge the secret of what com
pounds he used, but furnished med
icine at so much per bottle. He
did not have as many applicants
for cure as he expected, consider
ing the extent of the disease. In
tact the more malignant cases did
not seem anxious for relief. They
rather appeared to enjoy their NAL
ady. A few, however, placed
themselves under treatment, and
some were cured-whether by
taking the medicine or by not tax
ing any strong drinks, we are not
prepared to say. One of the
cured ones was in our office yes
terday, and he informed us that
he had faith in the medicine, that
he had rigidly carried out the di-
rectlons of the doctor, and now had
not the least taste for Intoxicating
drinks; whereas one year ago he
was an inebriate, and could not
get along with less than pint to a
quart of whiskey per day.
He informed us that he had at
some trouble and expense, procur-
ed the recipe for the preparation
Of the medicine, which he author
lzed us to publish for the benefit of
suffering humanity. 1t is as fol-
lows: Sulphate of iron, five grains;
peppermint water, eleven drachms; !
spirit of nutmeg, one drachm |
:wice a day. This preparation |
lcts as tonic and stimulant, and |
prevents that absolute physical
ind moral prostration that follows
sudden breaking off from the use
If stimulating drinks. 1t is to be
aiken in quantities equal to an or
linary dram, and as often as the
lesire for a dram returns. Any
lruggist can prepare the prescrip-
ion.

LITTLE GIFFEN.

Out of the focal and foremost fire
Out of the hospital walls, as dire;
Smitten of grape-shot and gangrene,
eighteenth battle, and he sixteen y
Specter. such as you seldom see
Little Giffen of Tennessee
''Take him and welcome ~ the surgeon said,
"Much your doctor can help the dead ="
And so we took, and brought him where
The balm was sweet on the summer air;
And laid him down on wholesome bed
Utter Lazarus, heels to head
Weary war with the bated breath,
Skeleton boy 'gainst the skeleton death;
Months of torture howmany such
Weary weeks of the stick and crutch
Still a CLINT in the steel blue eve
Spoke of spirit that aoouldr't diel
And didn't may more in deaths despite
The crippled skeleton learned to ,orite!
"Dear mother" at first, of course, and then
''Dear captain" inquiring about the "men."
Captains answer y ''Of eighty and five,
Gitfen and I are left alive !''
Johnston's pressed at the front they say;
Little Giffen was up and away
A tear, his first, as he babe good bye,
Dimmed the glintof his steel blue eye;
"FU aorite, If sparedp' There was news of fight,
But none of Giffen he did not writel
L sometimes fancy that when I'm king
And my gallant comrades form ring,
And each so thoughtless of power and pelf,
And each so loyal to all but self,
I'd give the best, on his bended knee
Yea, barter the whole-for the loyalty
Of little Giffen, of Tennessee!

| murder of Marum, as the child
unborn, SO help me, GodI' The
younger brother leaped into the
same cart, and made similar dec
laration. The couple who followed
protested their innocence in the
same emphatic manner; SO did
one of the third pair: but his COM
panion ascended the cart without
making a sign. The mans name
was Campion. 1t was afterwards
recollected that he was one of the
three whom some of the jury at
first felt inclined to acquit. The
cavalcade, preceded by the Sher-
iff, went on its way towards the
place of execution.
1t was followed by a large crowd.
Two gallows had been erected
close to the locality of the muir
der, with three nooses dangling
from the tranverse beam of each.
Two carts boarded over were
placed beneath the beams. Just
as the hangman notified the
convicts to ascend the carts, Cam
pion called the sheriff to him.
"You are going to hang five inno-.
cent men," he said. "Not one of
these had hand, act or part in the
murder; / alone of the six am
guilty" The Sheriff shook his
head. 81 swear it to Almighty
Godp he lifted up his face and
spoke with frightful vehemence.
"Their blood will be upon your
head" he cried. "Save them,
save themi" at is too late, the
law must take its course" Cam
plon let his Lead drop upon his
breast, and doggedly assembled the
steps leading to the platform. The
next instant the cart was with.
drawn, and the six men were sus-
pended in the air.

A Summing Up.

A writer in the Bridgeport
(Connecticut) Farmer thus sums
UP what has and what has not
been accomplished by the war. He
says:
81 was one of those patriotic GUS
ses who considered it to be his du-
ty to fight for the Union. I was
always very fond of the Union,
Messrs. Editors, and supposed that
all that was necessary to restore it
was to lick the rebels. Candor
compels me to admit that I have
been mistaken. Much, however,
has been accomplished. We will
state it thusly:
ACCOMPLISHED.
Rebels licked like thunder.
Five hundred thousand men
killed. A few more disabled.
The desolation and devastation
Of the South.
The abolition OF slavery and the
abolition of the white people of
the South also the abolition of |
the Constitution of the United
States.
An insignificant debt; say two
or three thousand millions.
Heavy taxes.
Negro suffrage.
Misrepresentation in Congress.
Africanization, miscegenation, etc
NOT ACCOMPLISHED.
The restoration of the Union.
These Messrs. Editors, are but
a few of the objects which we have
accomplished by the war for the
Union! trust, sirs: that In the
future you will not have the au-
dacity TO claim that ''the war was
a failure"

should be appointed; yet, according to this
joint resolution, the people of Virginia,
unless they comply with the terms it pre-
iscribes, are denied the right of voting for
President and Vice President, while the
people of New York; aoportion of the in
habitants of which State were also in re-
bellion, are permitted to have their cleo
toral vote counted without undergoing the
process of reconstruction prescribed for
Virginia. .sssg
a New, York is no more State than Vir-
lginia. The one is as much entitled to be
represented in the Electoral College as the
other. isJ 10 70 1I9oHiFtt S1t Ed ,t1a.A
CONGRESS UsURps POWER OF ELECTION.
If Congress has the power. to deprive
Virginia of this right, it can exercise the
same authority in respect to New, York or
any other of the States; thus the result of
the Presidential election may be controlled,
and determined by Congress-, and the peo-
pie he deprived of their rights under the
Constitution to choose d President and
Vice President of the United States. II
Congress were to provide by law that the
votes OF none of the States should be re-
ceived and counted, if cast for a candidate
who differed in political sentiment with a
majority of the two Houses, such Iegisla-
ton would at once be considered by the
country as unconstitutional, and revolu-.
tionary usurpation of power. =. f.s,.sr.5s.t
1t would. however, be exceedingly diff
cult to find in the Constitution any more
authority for the joint resolution under
consideration, than for ans enactment
evoking directly the rejection of all votes
not in accordance with the p litical prefer
ence of majority of Congress. No power
exists in the Constitution authorizing the
joint resolution or the proposed law. The
only difference being that one would be
more palpably unconstitutional and revo-
lutionary than the other one. Both would
rest upon the Radical error that Congress
ditions as to the right of the people of the
States to cast their votes for President and
Vice President. For the reasons thus in
dicated, l am constrained to return the
joint resolution to the Senate for such
further action, thereon as Congress may
deem necessary. . ANDREW JOHNSON.

There has been an increased movement in
nearly all kinds OF domestic, but at prices
favoring buyers. The receipts continue
quite liberal, and, as most of the receivers
of lots on consignment are not restricted
as to limits, the Wool is rapidly passing in
to the hands of consumers. There is moth
ing encouraging in the present aspect OF
the goods market, and hence there is little
encouragement to hold on to the staple for
a reaction. Texas and California Woods
having largely superseded the foreign sta
pie, prices of the latter remain largely
nominal. Sales of 100000 pounds State and
