Low MANY THOUSAND OF PERSONS
IL do we daily behold, both male and female,
who are suffering out a miserable existence from
the effects of secret indulgence, or from virus
absorbed into their system from venerial dis
ease. Look at their paid, enaoiated and iisfg-
ured faces and their broken down constitutions,
depicting disensc ard its horrible consequences;
disqualifying them rom marriage. or the enjoy
mteit of life. 1t is, therefore, important for
those sufferers to know that, by calling upon DR..
'. HATES. they can be effectnally cured. He
IS physician who has made private disease"
his especial study for thirty-two years, and who
has cured upward of thirty thousand cases in
Cincinnati alone within the last twenty years.
He is therefore competent to cure every form of
disease, both recent and chronic, in the shortest
possible time, without mercury OF other poison

FAcTIoS.-The editor of the Union don't
ike it because we called the republican
party of this city faction" and goes to
some trouble to prove that it is not. Web
ster defines faction as "a party, in politi-
cal society, combined against the govern
ment." During the war, the President was
the government" and according to this
radical Interpretation, the whole republican
party is faction, including its very tender
oh-shoot at Rock Island

A SUPERFLUoUs MoTIoN.-We notice by
the proceedings of the Board of Trade that
Mr.. McAllister moved "that the Board ap.
prove the building of the Moline Horse Rail-
way, and use its influence to that end" In
asmuch as no person opposes the building
OF the road we can see no point or propriety
in the motion-unless it was made Tor the
purpose of inducing the Board of Trade to
subscribe stock in the enterprise. And yet,
that can hardly be the object, for the reason
that the Board has no funds TO subscribe /;
and if those who are members of the Board
wish to take stock they probably have suffi-
Gent business capacity to do so without the
motion or influence of the Board. If We
were to exercise Yankees privilege. and
guess" we should say that the motion was
a kind OF masked battery for the purpose of
operating upon and influencing the City
Council to give away the exclusive right
to the peoples streets, and thus prevent any
other company from building road, if any
other company should desire to do so, or the
public interests should require another road
over or through any of the streets they may use
That is all the question we have heard made
| in regard to the road, and if it is the object
of Mr.. McAllister to bring a pressure upon
| the City Council to that effect it would have
been more frank and direct to have SO word
| ed his motion. If that is not his object, We
| can see no point in his motion.
In every city where these "gredison" mo
nopolies exist they are a source of never
ending strife between the monopolists and
the people; and unless our City Council
guard we'll the peoples rights they will be
censured as unfaithfsl to their duty and un
true to their constituents. 1t has an i'll looh
that two of the new Aldermen are supposed
to be under the control of two of the "corpo
rators'-but the people will wait develop
ments, and Judge them by their acts.

RIVER ITEMs.-The Gazette states that on
Saturday last, Capt. sherwood and others,
while hauling boat load of white lead and

on account of the ice giving way. They lost
the principal part of the contents of the boat.

PRACTICAL JOKE A noted sarant IN this
city, who prides himself upon his superior
financial abilities, and devotes much time to
the study Of political economy and practical
business operations, lately got schtuck nit
a note of several hundred dollars, against a
certain firm which had gone into bankrupt
CIV. Lamenting his bad luck, one day. in a
grocery store where wags sometimes do con-
gregate, he was offered Is cents for his note,
and sold it. The purchaser mischievously
requested him to make the necessary assign
ment of the note by placing his name on
the back of it. Financier assented, and
sometime on the following day realized that
for twenty-five cents he had actually endorsed
a worthless note, and was holden for the full
amount of its face. Feeling little chag
rined that he did not comprehend the differ
ence between assigning and endorsing a
note, he hurried to the purchaser and wanted
to look at the note. Taking it in his hand
he drew heavy black mark over his name,
handed back the note and walked away
only to find that he had then committed a
penisentiary offence Being told that he had
violated the law. he nervously exclaimed,
sd-n the law and fed from his torment
ors. 1t is rich joke, and one capable of
giving enlarged views on the monetary sub
ject.

CAMDEN CHARTER ELECTIoN.-The corpo-
ration election occurred in Camden on Mon
day. At FIRST two tickets were brought out
IA license ticket headed by Samuel Blair,
and an anti-license ticket headed by Alex.
Owens. A compromise was then MADE oy
which Mr.. Blair withdrew, leaving MIR.
Owens the field, with the following council
men viz: George P. Webster and William
Goldsmith, from the license ticket, and
GEORGE Whitehead and A. Crandall from the
temperance ticket; with an agreement to
vote for or against license, and if MAORI
ty voting were for license then licenses,
should be granted to sell liquor; and IT not
then no licenses were to be granted. Of
course the ticket agreed on was elected with
out opposition. The vote on the license
question resulted in majority for license;
SO licenses are to be granted. But, as there
was no agreement as to the price of license
and as the temperance party will have one
majority in the Board, the liquor dealers
fear they will fix the rate of license so high
as to amount to a prohibition.
