Mr.. Pendleron's Nomination.

Our telegraphic dispatches tell of the
nomination Of George Fl. Pendleton, by
the Executive Committee of the Demo
cratic party, as Governor of Ohio, vice
General Rosencranz, declined When q
party thus puts forward one of SITS best
representatives, the sign is good one.
Mr.. Pendleton has been called 'the
rising star of the West" He is q man of
lofty character and eminent abilities,
combines in himselfmany of the elements
that go to form high order of states
manship. A Democrat by conviction,
his mind is yet broad enough to take in
the interests of the whole country. In
the last Presidential canvass, no man
made abler speeches, and his finn utter
ances, not wanting IN beautiful poetic
view, were received by thousands with
delight and admiration. Ohio will do
we'll to elect him to the Office of Governor.

DR. HAMILTON: My best friend and

is not only certain to my own apprehen.

have known my sufferings 30 long and so
we'll, join in this opinion. From spinal

Ladies monopolize the Beauty as we'll as

This can all be changed by using Ha-

Weekly Review of the State Press.
The Laurensville Herald, in an article
upon "the spirit of the South" takes
the ground that this State and the South
should not waver sin the old lines of the
last great formation, when Seymour and
Blair were our standard-bearers." It
holds that "America should be ruled by
white men," and contends that there is
no wisdom in compromise when political
principle and the rights of men are in
volved. 1t disapproves of the Virginia
conservative movement-will continue
the war upon Messrs. Scott & Co.-and
calls for organization among the whites
in the State.
The Clarendon Press alludes to the
prospect of the South Carolina Central
Railroad being constructed, and felici-
tates Clarendon upon the advantage, !,
thus to accrue to her.
The Lancaster Ledger. looks with favor
upon the war among the radicals in
Charleston, and indicates its preference
for the Sawyer type over the Mackey
type of radicalism. It has its comments
upon the movement attributed to Co.
vernon Scott in connection with the Lau-
rens Railroad locomotive. And in behalf
of Lancaster, it calls for visit from the
Chinese agent, Mr.. Joseph.
The Winnsboro Ne,cs, of the 14th,
urges formation and drill of conserva-
tive party in South Carolina, after the
manner OF Virginia and TENNESSEE
The Orangeburg Ne,rs, radical paper,
modifies its position, and announces it.
self as the advocate of conservative
Republican party in South Carolina. It
goes for universal suffrage and amnesty
on the side of intelligence, honesty and
virtue" All along, this paper has been
the apologist and defender of the
"powers that be" in this State.
The Charleston Neus, of the 14th,
corrects the mis- statements of the Macon
Telegraph on affairs in South Carolina,
and asserts that South Carolina is to-day
rs strong as any other State of the
South, and has bright prospect for the
future. In the lower part of the State
it states that the condition of affairs has
improved, and that in the State generally
the people are confident and cheerful
All this in reply to the sensational story
of the Telegraph, that the crops had
failed-that famine was imminent
that the lower country was given up to
the negroes, and that tho whites were
leaving that section-all OF which is
mere bosh.
The Charleston Courier, of tho 14tb,
speaks of Mr.. Motley's mission to Eng
land and its failure. Reverdy Johnson's
treaty was rejected by the radical party's
influence. Mr.. Motley is sent to do bet
ter, and tho result now appears in the
announcement of Victoria to her Pal lia-
ment, that the negotiations on the sub
ject have, by mutual consent, been sus-
pended.

Liver, Blood, Lung and Nervous diseases
are now virtually under his full control,
and yield to the magic, subtle power Of
his remedies. i have myself seen num-
bexs OF those who have been saved from
the hand Of death by his power, when
the unfortunate sufferers seemed doom
ed to an early grave, and all other treat
ment was Of no avail. In addition to
what can vouch for personally, I have
ample evidence from other olergymeD,
ph2sicians and eminent men Of the
highest character, who have also been
saved By this wonderful treatment, and
who speak in the highest praise and gra-
titude OF Df. Hamilton as o physician
II is but simply stating the positive
truth when / say that 1t is we'll known
throughout this country that where his
works are known and the fruits of his
skill have been witnessed, he is highly
esteemed by the people as the most emil

treatment Of, chronic diseases Of the age
As the result OF q long personal and
familiar acquaintance with Prof. Hamil-
ton and his unparalleled success as q
professio ional man of the highest order, I
frankly express the hope that diseased
humanity in every part of our land may
avail themselves Of his most remarkable
skill and thus share the noble blessings

ANOTHER CLERGYMAN HEALED!

..t ..,.-r BOONTON, N. y.
Ri. Hamilton, III. D.-DRAR Sm: It
is with pleasure that communicate the
result of the use of your medicines.
When I first visited your Office in New
York, I could scarcely walk into the
Office without exhaustion. With all your
prestige as successful physician. / had
but little hope that you could cure me.
There was nothing strange in this. Four
years and four months had passed away,
but during that period I had suffered
constantly with chronic diarrh@a and
piles. had some of the best physi-
clans, and used everything heard of
that could procure, but all in vain.
Why should I think that you could do
me more good than others? But. sir,
justice and gratitude compel me to say
that after the use of your medicines the
result was complete cure. I cannot
expect to be freed from liabilities to at
tacks of disease any moro than other
men. I, wish I had the voice of seven
thunders. and could assemble the sick in
the world. I would direct them to You,
sir, as one fully competent to heal, and
whose generous and noble nature would
not allow exhorbitant. charges. Yours
truly. REV. GEORGE H. JONES.

have purposely delayed writing in order
to give you the results of your remedies.
The medicines came to hand in due
time. and commenced using them as

be a giving away of the disease; and at
the end of the third week decided
change for the better was manifest. I
am now able to walk about with ease and
comfort. I send you sincere and many
thanks. and pray that God may bless and
preserve yonr life for many years. L feel
