PURCHASE ONLY THE BEsT.-In q
majority of advertised bitters impor-
tsDt ingredients, the necessity of
which are plainly indicated, are
omitted, because of their high prices;
in others, the proportions and com
binations of the ingredients are in
defance of all settled principles of
pharmaceutical chemistry; others,
again, are mere shams, made up of
poor whisky slightly bittered with
aloes and colored in such a manner
as to deceive the unwary, and are so
nauseatiEg as to be unworthy of
criticism, and TO the patient the rem
edy is worse than the disease, while
years of experience and trial have
proven DR.. RoJack's Stomach Biters
to be, just ss recommended, one of
the best remedies extant where O
stomachic tonic and Stimulant are re-
quired They never fail to strength
en- the week, impart vigor to the
strong, and are, III every particular,
just what stomach bitter5 ought to
be. If you have symptoms of dys
pepsia, take them freely to aid di
gestion. II you reside in bilious
districts, they should be taken as
sure prevention of Bilious Fever and
Fever and Ague, Liver Complaint,
JNundice, and in all that class of dis
eases where there is general de
preston of the nervous system, loss
of muscular energy. weakness, lassi-
tnde, want of appetite, faintness,
chilly sensations AMI aching of the
bones, &c And, as remedy for
female weakness, Leuchorrh0a, or
Whites, Ro5ack's BiAers have no
equal. They are prepared with spe
cial reference to this complaint, and
act like charm. A few days trial
will satisfy the most skeptical of the
real merits of this really valuable
medicine.-April 8.-4w.

nsr The Meigs County Tszearnp

Bag The Meigs County Telegraph
supposes there will be no serious OBJ.
lection, in that county, to the nomi-
nation of Capt. Ell. c. JONES, for the
Senate, this fall, as the floating mem
ber, "but,- we shall probably" ii
says, shave a candidate of our own
for the regular position, and as the
Lawrence delegation, two years ago,
accorded the nomination to us, and
would, had they been able to get
here, have voted for our candidate,
we shall expect them this fall to see
to it that we are not again deprived
of our just rights" If the thing is
to be decided beforehand, by an ar
rangement between the counties of
Meigs and Lawrence, there will be
no necessity for a convention, or if
one, no need to be attended by Gal
liza and Vinton. We don't believe
in that kind of convention-one
whose work is simply to indorse a
caucus arrangement.

EF- The Southern democracy are
beginning to find out of what stuff their
Northern brethren are made. The
Richmond Rhig says:
"They meanly appeal to a crushed.
bleeding and broken hearted people to
sacrifice the last feeble remnants Of
their political and social existence in
order that they 1.-THE Northern De-
mocracy) may be saved from the ope-
rations of the fifteenth amendment.-

H We congratulate the people Of
Ohio upon the adjournment of the Leg
islature--it departed sine die last Fri
day. 1t has been in session 269 days.
Their per diem, mileage and expenses Of
committees, foot up $3.50, 800. This
does not include stationary, fuel, lights,
&c. The expenses of the Republican
Legislature which Immediately pre-
ceded it, amounted to but $118,824,
showing a net loss to the people of
S131,675, the result of giving power
into the hands of the democracy. How
do you like democratic economy? They
will probably talk economy again this
fall, when they come to ask for your vote
refer them to these figures. tbs a
common remark-"If man cheats
me once, it is his fault; if be cheats me
the second time, it is my fault" The
democracy have cheated the people
once,-if you let them cheat you the
second time, you must not complain if
your taxes are high and burdensome.

PITcH IN.-The Richmond Va.
Dispatch, in some remarks on the sit

the hope of the South, says s'that it
was the strategy land such strategy
OF the Democrats in the last House of

rage upon the South. We may al

Gratis until the "breeching breaks, /"
when they Immediately desert us; and
as 1t is impossible for US to know when
the breeching is about to break, it is
safest for US to travel in our own con-
veyance. If they and we travel the
same road, no harm is done. If diff
ferent roads, we have benefited our
selves by our Independence,

H The editor of the DISPATCH.

E The editor of the Dispatch, to
judge from his weakly utterances, feels
terribly for the poor soldiers, their wild
ows and orphan children. He imag-
ines the G. A. R. is not doing its duty
in this respect, and abuses the mem
bers for their neglect. How does he
know what they are doing? Probably
they do not choose to publish from the
house-tops, or in the market places, as
is the custom with some, the character
or extent of their charities. Still, how
ever that may be, what is the editor of
the Dispatch doing for these unfortu-
mates. Did any one ever hear of any
charities from him in that direction?
If his soul is SO much concerned for
the poor soldiers, their widows and or
phans, suppose he moves for their re-
lief--we think be would find the G. A.
R. ready and prompt to assist him. If
he did not, then indeed he might have
cause of. complaint. To an outsider
the thing seems to resolve itself into
this--the editor of the Dispatch can see
a mote in bis neighbor's eve. but he
cannot see the beam that is in his own
eye. The editor can quote the words
of the Master-.:Inasmuch as ye did it
not to these, ye did not to me"--and
apply them to others, but we much
fear, if he was to be judged by the
standard which be has fixed for others,
he would hear ringing in his ears those
other words of the Master-"O, ye
hypocrites;" ''ye serpents. ye genera
ton of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell!'

HUMBUo.-The people of Ohio, we
presume, would have no objection to
their democratic Legislature spend.
ing its time in humbug legislation,
provided there was no charge for it
But to spend its time in the accom-
plishing of such work, and then to
draw pay for it, is a feather toe
much. This the. late Legislature
did. 1t passed two acts openly in
conflict, one with the Constitution
of the State, and the other with the
Constitution of the United States,
and the majority knew them to De
so. One of them was to disfranchise
citizens who are enfranchised by the
Constitution of the State; the other
is to tax government bonds Both
have been already declared uneon-
stitutional by the proper tribunals.
But they needed little humbug to
carry with them into the coming
campaign, and King caucus decided
that these were just the things they
required. If they were sincere in
taxing government bonds-felt that
it wasa a matter legitimately that they
could provide for-why did they not
pass the bill early enough for the
assessment this spring? They were
in session long enough surely. Sim
ply because its use as capital in trade
would have expired one year sooner.
So with the bill of disfranchisement
the visible admixture law, as it is
termed. The one of a year ago hav-
ing, through the action of the Su-
preme Court, found its grave, they
passed another one, more severe in
its enactments; but as in the former
case, delayed its passage until after
the Spring elections, that its use as
a political dodge might last little
longer than it would otherwise have
done.
These are simply PARTISAN meas
ures-passed with no other object in
view-passed purely and solely for
the purpose of furnishing capital for
the copper fraternity for the next
campaign, and the people have to
pay them S. per day for the time
thus spent. Great is democracy! |!
Well says acotemporary-"In 1889
we had a Democratic Legislature.
In 1869 we have had another.
This is as often as the State can bear
it; but in ten years new generation
comes upon the stage of political ac-
ton, and mankind are prone to for
get. When we know the amount Of
money expended by this Legisla-
ture, we shall see the need of ten
years interval for recovery"

~The greatest difficulty Count,

RThe greatest difficulty County
Commissioners will have to encoun-
ter in building pixies, will be the
question of locality. Every man
will want the first road built to pass
his door. The GAINESVILLE Courier
suggests good way to get over this
difficulty, and that is for the Com
missioners to construct that road
first for which the greatest amount
of subscription per mile above the
tax, could be obtained. We give
the suggestion for the benefit of our
Board of County Commissioners,
who will soon be called upon to act
in this matter of turnpikes.

H The Urbana Citizen has an in
teresting account of another triumph
for the grand old Methodist Church.
We copy:
An Irishman, named John Breslin,
received @dress suit at the hands of
Rev. E. Kimber on Tuesday. Breslin
had persisted in following Mr.. K. and
abusing him in epithets unfit for publi-
cation. Finally he said he ''could
whip any Cd id Methodist in Ur-
bana.' Whereupon Mr.. Kimber very
cody replied: 81 have not fought for
many years, and am an old man, but |
cannot stand this any longer, and must
lay my religion aside" and struck the
fellow two blows which felled him to
the ground. He then punished him
severely as he ought to have done. We
are glad Mr.. Kimber has taken the in
itiative in self-protection.

The New Code of Criminal Pro
csdure.

The Code of Criminal Procedure
passed yesterday; it makes no changes
in the laws defining crimes or offenses,
nor does it make it necessary to use
forms of indictment different from
those now in use, but relieves from
technicalities now required. 1t re-
lates wholly to criminal procedure and
not to the defining of crimes. About
two-thirds of it is a re-enaetment of
laws now in force, but arranges the
subjects in more systematic order on
the statute book. 1t is to go into eff
feet on the 1st of August next.-Stats

~ The new turnpike law au-
thorizes the Commissioners to levy
a tax, each year, of four mills on the
dollar, for the purpose of construct

would give fund of S23, 54S II /,
enough in all probability to con-
struct from s to 10 miles of pike. A
few years of such tax, with judi

Hayes is already renominated for
Governor as surely as Grant was for
President before the Chicago Couyen-
ton met to ratify the choice already
made. And his election is as certain
as Grants election. Lieut-Goyernor
Lee, we understand, has consented to
have his name presented for renomina-
ton. We hear of no opposition to him,
so far. State Treasurer Warner is also
a candidate for denomination, but his
nomination will be hotly contested by
DR.. Roby, former State Senator from
the Ross district. The Doctor has
very strong support, and will be hard
to beat. For Attorney General there
is a new candidate, recently announced
in this paper, General Kelley, of Perry,
