NTEDICAL.-DR.A A. S. SMITH,
wi having resumed the Practice of Medicine,
solicits generous share of the patronage of the
community. Office in his residence, at St Clairs-
vile.
He would call the attention of the public, and to
those more Immediately interested to the follow
ing His health being too delicate to bear much
of the fatigues and exposures consequent on gen
eral practice, he has adopted speciality in the
profession.
Soon after commencing practice, some twenty
years SINCE he was attracted by the almost uni
versatility of female complaints, bot in the mar
ried and single state. Partly from natural incli-
nation and in order to obtain success in practice,
these complaints were made the subject of incess-
ant study. These alterations, displacements and
deranged functions of the organs peculiar to the
female are owing to that refined sense of deicacy
on the part of the female, who, ignorant of the
consequences, prefers to suffer in silence rather
than expose her situation. Seldom cured by the
general practitioner, who is prevented by this
delicaey from acquiring by experience that tact
and skill necessary to discriminate the exact
change present and contents himself with pre-
scribing for the deranged functions or overlooking
the cause simply for attendant nervous disorders,
founding his prescriptions on Plethoric Anaemon-
ic state of the general system and the result is no
benefit, as the number of the long suffering fe-
males bears ample testimony. Believing that he
has, from long and special attention paid to them,
acquired that skill in discriminating and expert
ence in treating he solicits the suffering to give
him call. No charges for consultation or exam
ination. Visits made to all parts of the county
Applications for medicines can be made in wri-
ting by accompanying stamp for return letter.
Medicines sent when desired TERMS invariably
cash for all medicines and instruments.

bank. Here the distinction as to bills filed and
not fled is reversed. While the bills OF the
new Issue, If filed, are rendered worthless,
those not filed are placed on apar with the
ante-bellum issue not filed; or, IN other words,
with old issue bills, not held by any Of the

Such legislation is monstrous, and would
bring into discredit any white mans govern
ment in ths world. It remains to be seen
whether such action on the part Of Legisla-
ture, twc-thirds negro, will be less disastrous
in it's results.
The two remaining provisions Of the bill are
Of piece with those already mentioned. Sec
tion repeals the act Of 1855. If the act ie
without validity, why repealitl The bilhold.
ers assert that it is already null and void.
This bill would seem to admit its validity, and
therefore, proposes it's repeal. Now If the act
Of 1865 is valid the ''repeat," We insist. will be
'.null and void" If the act has any force at
all, it operates a. ! statutory assignment Of
certain assets, which assignment has been ac'
cepted by the parties for whose benefit it was
made, and constitutes contract" To re-
peal this act directly, "impairs the obligation
OF this contract" and cannot stand before the
courts.
The 9Th Section repeals the 18th Section o'
the Charter of 1912. This, again, WAS "con-
tract, J" and the repeal is utterly nugatory.

European war. The accumulation OF specie IN
the Bank Of France, in round numbers $3.50
600, ,OOOin gold, and the lossof f571 900, equal
to$2. $50, 900 in gold, reported by telegram, IN
the Bank Of England statement for last week,
indicate that gold has been purchased !or
French account, as there is nothing IN sne
movement Of the foreign commerce OF France
to warrant this extraordinary gain OF bullion
by the Bank of France, and the commensurate
loss by the Bank Of England and other money
centres. For some time past the price OF gold
has been higher in Paris than in any other
money centre, while New York has been the
point at which gold has been sold at a cheaper
rate than in any other great financial centre of
exchanges The result has been the enormous
accumulation Of bullion in Paris, unprece-
deuted in the. history Of modern times, and
which justly excites the distrust and fear OF
Europe as much as the warlike footing OF the
French army and navy. The French Govern
ment has been large purchaser OF horses for
ayear past, and last week Quantity OF hay
has been boughtin the New York market for
French account, and supposed to be for that
government. The continued weakness and de-
cline in British consols, in the face of two per
cent. money market, ls significant OF the DIS
trust in regard to future political complica-
tions leading to war in Europe, which disturbs

great Importance that our people should
understand the situation, and act accord
ingly. Let everything be done, consistently
with honor, alto secure the triumph OF the
Democratic party. But let it, at the same
time, be remembered that self-oontrol and
moderation on our part are, more than all
things else, essential to that result. Fiery
harangues will not help us, nor wrathful
reprisals. We have now no resort except
to oppose the Democratic policy Of states
manship to the Radical policy Of blood. :.
For our own part, we have waited for the
reaction long; we are now permitted to be-
hold its progress, and we need entertain no
fears that it can be easily arrested now.
Beyond peradventure, we shall succeed IN
this contest. The richest blood Of the uni
verse flows in our veins. We inherit the
noblest examples of public virtue and the
finest traditions of liberty. We belong to
an ambitious, q world-ruling race. We,
therefore, cannot tolerate for moment the
thought that we can be foiled in contest
with few tricky adventurers and multi
tude of credulous barbarians. Yet the day
of our deliveranoe may be delayed unless
we oppose policy and principle to the out
breaks Of passion, and neutralize the blind
strength Of muscle by the steady fortitude
and electric energy Of mind. We shall not
need to lie to much longer, for the gale is
well.nigh spent; soon We may turn our PROV
to port and spread every sail to the wind.
