The Earth To Be- Tapped Up BY Fire.

GEORGIA AND RADICAL PERFIDY.

Tia recommendation Of the President
and the apparent purpose of Congress to
again put Georgia into 9 Radical straight
Jacket for the purpose of prolonging the OH
eisl life of a few Radicals now in office and
giving il to a few others, promises to devel'
ope some striking instances and examples
of psrfdy on the part Of Radical dignitar'es'
The President himself ia to be brought face
to face with pledges and professions which
have been shamefully violated BY his re-
commentator to Congress that the civil
government of that State be overthrow.
II can be shown and is remembered by
many, that at the last session OF Congress-
or the "Ma.ch Term" as Grant calls 1t,
when the Reconstruction cabal had up the
case of Georgia for consideration, the Presi-
dent was very conservative on the question
and asked that no action be taken till The
Supreme Court of the State should decide
the question as to the eligibility OF negroes
to seats in the Legislature, giving as a rea-
ron therefor that be felt assured that the
Court would vindicste the right and render
the action of Congress unnecessary. The
Supreme Court, according to his own state
ment now, has done all he expected or de.
sired i. to do then, and yet he lends himself
as an official echo to the plotiings of foul
mes, Of Radical ragamufinS in the State Of
Georgia, many of whom have no personal
character to guard, and but few if any of
them, particle of interest in the welfare OF
Georgia. The notorious Er Gov. Brown,
who is responsible for the negro decision Of
the Supreme Court, during the canvass be-
fore the people Of the State on the question
Of adopting the Constitution, declared as a
sample Of his legal learning and Is reason
why the Constitution should be adopted, that
negroes would not be eligible to seats in the
Legislature under ii. But for man who
jumps from q rebel to a Radical for an office,
this is mild form Of perfdy.

CONSUMPTION.

Tho Three Remedies. "Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup" for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis
and every form Of Consumption. The peculiar
action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
lungs, promotes he discharge of the corrupt
matter by expeetoration, purifss the blood, and
thus cures Consumption, when every other rem
edy fails.
''schsnck's sesweed Tonic" for the cure of
Dyspepsia or Ind gestion, and ali diseases aris-
ing from debility. This tonic inyigorates the
digestive organs, supplies the place of the gas
trio juice when that is deficient, and then enables
the patient to digest the most nutritious food. 1t
is a sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges-
ton.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills" one of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered, being veg
stabe substitute for calomel, and having all the
useful properties ascribed to that mineral, with
out producing any of its injurious effects
To these three medicines Dr.. j. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success IN the
| treatment of Pumonic Consumption. The Pull
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter, dis
charges it, and purifes the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all distractions
| therefrom, give the organ healthy tone, and
cure Liver Complaint, which is one Of the most
| prominent causes of Consumption.
| The Sea Weed Tonic invgorates the powers OF
the stomach, and by streng thening the digestion
anu oFlhglnB IL W uormhi dhd hcaltnS C"nal
| ton improves the quality of the blood, by which
means the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the
lungs becomes impc ssbe. The combined action
of these medicines, as thus explained, will cure
every case of Consumption, ii the remedies are
used in time and the use of them is persevered
in sufficiently to bring the case to favorable
! termination.

HOW A REPUBLICAN, GOVERNMENT Is

Mississippi and Texas determined that no

people of both States is opposed to the raga'

outrage.

Our citizens we're unuttersbly sstounded
at the unblushing corruption, intimidation
and fraud exercised at the polls yesterday
Every avenue TO the ballot box was com
petely covered by crowd of colored men,
in utter disregard of the election order of
Gen. Ames. That order distinctly declares
that no voter, except in the act Of deposit
ing his vote, shall stand within thirty feet
of the polls. This regulation was wholly
ignored yesterday. But this is a mere
feather iu the weight Of atrocity perpe
trated by the Radical leaders and theiI
tools.

voting places in this city, the entrances t.
the building itself, mot the voting room
were guarded by colored policemen, anC
while the white Radical politicians were
permitted to circulate freely within tn,

A Spirit of Devotion.

Addison, in his beautiful style and with
his great pathos, thus inculcates the impor'
lance Of the cultivation Of a devotional spirit :
1t is of the last importance to season the
passions of child with devotion, which
seldom dies in a mind that has received an
early ,iucture of it. Though it may seem
extinguished for while by the cares of the
world, the hearts of youth. or the allure,
ments of vice, it generally breaks GU. and
discovers itself again, as soon as discretion
consideration, age, or misfortune have
brough. the man to himself. The Ere may
be covered and overlaid, but cannot be
entirely 9uenched and smothered.
A state of Temperance, sobrety, and
justice, without devotion, is a cold, lifeless,
insipid condition Of virtue; and is rather to
be styled philosophy than Religion. Bevo
tion opens the mind TO great conceptions
and fills it with more sublime ideas than
any that are to be met with in the most ex
aited science; and at the same time warml
and agitstes the soul more than sensua
pleasure.
