The market for plain bleached and
unbleached muslin is excited III sympa-
thy with cotton, and prices have risen
fully &c per yard on all low and medi,
um grades, with q tendency toward
higher rates. New styles of light prints
are opened at 1910 for goods like Pacific
Mills prints, and it is likely that all
the best makes will open at this price
if not higher. Some medium styles OF
Spragues are offered ut be; all of Gar
ner & Co.'s prints, Amoskeag, &c, have
been withdrawn from sale, but will open
higher to morrow; Pacific Mills show
some beautiful pieces at SIC.

SPE GAL NOTICES.
"a Little Bilious

How often is this the response to the enquiry
after friends health; rs if 10 be bilious was
trifing matter, hardly worth thinking about.
But let it be remembered that, as tall oaks
from little acorns grow" so formidable diseases
arise from being "a little bilious"
Severe bilious attacks are more common IN
Spring Summer and Autumn than in Winter,
but the serious disorders of the liver which 80
often occur at those seasons may be traced, in
hundreds of instances, to Winter indulgenees
and their neglected consequences. More highly
seasoned food is eaten, more fiery drinks i'm
bibed, in cold than in warm weather, and thus
tho biliousness is produced which, under a
warmer Temperature, eliminates in remittent
and intermittent fevers.
The very best medicine for persons who are
either little or a good deal bilious, Is HOSTEL
TIERS STOMACH BITTERS. No blue-piil or
calome is required in such cases. Those pow
eriul mineral medicines cut two ways, like q
double. edged sword. They act, it Is true. upon
the liver but re act most deleteriOusly on Other
parts of the system. They stick" there, and
cannot be got rid Of The Bitters contain Nege
table agents of an anttbilieus tendency, that
produce a specific and most genial effect upon
the hillary organ, without entalling any ovl
consequences whatever. They are altogether
lUhoLeSome, ard act flvOrably and simultaneously
Hpon the stomach, the liver, the bowels, the
nervous system, and the brain.

Election Frauds.

New YORK, January lit is stated
that the Congressional Investigating
committee have filed testimony suth'
cient to hang politically many promi-
nent politicians here. They have evil
dence to prove that not less than $4,000
fraudulent votes were cast in this city
by repeaters alone. The business was
reduced to science and had it not re-
ceived such sudden check by Marshal
Murray, no doubt it would have become
of general application in all the large
cities of the Union. By thus timely
acting Marshal Murray prevented the
10000 from becoming 10000. Several
of the witnesses testified that they
voted from 9 to 80 times each. These
witnesses have testified because those
who employed them did not pay them
according to agreement.
The committee have summoned near
" 400 witnesses upon the one question
of using fraudulent naturalization pa
pers. These papers were offered by the
hundreds and thousands. The commit
tee have the testimony of the printer
who manufactured the documents, who
had his presses running from the lst OF
June almost to the day of the election.
He printed over 100000 of them. The
committee have evidence that the nat
uralization evidence in the county
clerks offices is being rapidly destroyed.

ST. LOUIS, January 1.-THE Leaven-
worth Commercial says: A white man
named Hays was recently murdered at

Jail preparatory to trial, but during
the night were taken from the prisoA
by vigilance committee and hung to
the nearest trees. Trouble between the
white and colOred soldiers at Fort
Larned had also occurred, and conflicts
became SO frequent and serious that the
negroes had to be removed from the
post ami quartered alta distance from 1T.
The colored people of this city cole
brated to.day-the anniversary OF the
emancipation of the slaves in Missouri
by n long procession this afternoon,
and presented a fine appearance. The
