D65a The vote OH the new Constitu-
ton of Alabama commenced yesterday
and will be completed to-day. We OBJ
serve that the N. O. Crescent is Of opin-
ion that it still takes q majority of the
registered voters to ratify the Consti.
tuition and that the Conservatives have
determined to abstain from voting for
the purpose of defeating it. Our CO.
temporary is mistaken. BY the Will
son bill, which has already become a
law, a majority of all the votes cast is
sufficient to ratify the Constitution.
The Alabama Conservatives resolved
to abstain from voting for the reason
that, if they should defeat the Consti-
tuition, reconstruction being in the
hands of the Radicals they could easily
adopt measures to accomplish their OBJ.
.jects even againstt the will of the major
ity. They are, therefore, unwilling to
engage in contest with the negroes
at the polls, with SO many odds against
them.

4 New and Grand Epoch In Medicine

Dr. Maggiel is the founder Of new
Medical System! The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
Of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with box or so Of his
wonderful and all healing Salve. These
two great specifics Of the Doctor are fast
superceding all the stereotyped nostrums Of
the day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel's
Pills and Salve have opened the eyes Of
the public to the ineficiency Of the $50
called remedies Of Others, and upon which
people have SO long blindly depended. =
Maggiels Pills are not Of the class that are
swallowed by the dozen, and Of which eve
~ box full taken creates an absolute ne
cessity for another. One ortwo Of Mag
gels Pills suffice to place the bowels in
perfect order, tone the stomach, create
an appetite and render the spirit light and
buoyantl There is no gripping, and no
reaction in the form Of constipation. II
the liver is effected, it's functions are re-
stored; and if the nervous system is feeble
it is invigorated. This last quality makes
the medicines very desirable for the wants
Of delicate females. Ulcerous and ,eruptive
diseases are literally extinguished BY the
disinfectant power Of Maggiels Salye. In
fact, it is here announced that MAGGrEy,'s
B11ous, DYspEpr1c AND D1ARRHEA Pulls
cure where ell others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and all
abrasions of the skin MAGGIEI's SALvE is

N Cur c0atferes of the Natchitoches
Times have lost patience concerning the
antics of the New Orleans mail, and
have been gently warming the nuisance
up. This lIas brought out some cx-
PLANTATION from "Nfr. Smith, the Agent
of the line," who says: "none of the
employees are to be blamed for it, as it
appears, the mails for Red River, al
though, advertised as per contract to
leave three times aweek, are forwarded
but once q week from New 0rleans.n
Now, with all due respect for Mr..
Smiths excuse or expression ofopinion,
we beg most respectfully to state en-
phatieally and without reservation that
lie is sadly and awfuily mistaken or he
has been badly duped by some one. Up
to the 18th fast November, the mails
were forwarded regularly three times a
week by the Yicksburg packets leav-
ing New Orleans on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday; and since that time the
mail on the Thursday packet has been
discontinued, but is still sent on Tues
day and Saturday. And we further
state that these packets are and have
been regular all the season and only in
one single instance have eitherof them
been behind time at the Mouth.
The plain upshot of the whole matter
is that the mail from the Mouth to this
Town is perfect nuisance and an i'm
position on the public, as well as the
government, and should be abated and
the sooner the better. The contractor
gets pay for three trips week and by
bully management brings one mail q
week--that is three mails in one trip.
