STATE FAIR.-We acknowledge the
receipt Of a Premium List Of the
Seventeenth Indiana State Fair. to be
held at Indianapolis, from Monday,
September 9th. to Friday. October
ID. geographically, the Premium
List would do no credit &c the most
insignificant country job Office, and
certainly reflects no credit upon the
establishments doing the work or the
officers of tie Agricultural Board
who would receive it.
The Premium List for The Fair is
large, and seems to be we'll adapted
towards securing a fine exhibition Of
TIE various produces Of the State.
There Is, of course, the usual induce
ments held out to bumbugs, or rather
unmitigated nuisances, in the shape
Of premiums amounting to S115 to
velocipedists, being $40 more than is
awarded to the most intricate and
COS ly machinery. This, ever, is
deemed necessary we presume to
afford amusement to the visitors who
tire of the monotony of looking at
stock and mechanism.
To MAKE MoNEY-Ifyou would make
money, advertise! Do it nowl Don't
wait until times get better Adver-
tise first, last, and all the time Your
business viii thrive in exactly the
same manner as you advertise. If
you are in business, and have not ad-
vertised any, write out your card i'm
mediately, and send it to the printing
Office. Its the first step TO success.
A GOOD HOTEL-Ths Terre Haute
House, at Terre Haute, under the
admirable management of Major T.
G. Buntin, is one Of the best hotels IN
the State. The rooms. beds, tables,
and all the ccucomitants are all that
the most fastidious could desire, and
what Com" Buntin don't know
about keeping hotel, it would be su-
perfuous to learn.
METEORs. Between one and two
o'clock this morning the meteoric
display in the heavens was very fine.
We counted twenty six meteors with
in twenty minutes. One of them was
really magnificent, lasting fully two
minutes, and leaving brilliant trail
in It's wake as it moved through
the boundless space. The comet

A WONDERFUL SOUTHERN DISCOVERY.
In the South, where liver complaint and
bilious diseases prevail to 30 great an
extent, there has long been felt need of
q medicine that would act specifically
and promptly on the Liver, restoring it
to its normal functions, and at the same
time be safo from after effects, and yet
so simple that it might be used by any
one. It is claimed that DIR. TUTr's
VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS supplies this
want They aot directly on the Liver;
their constant use will not injure in the
slightest degree the most delicate consti-
tuition. Females at any period may use
them with great benefit, and realize great
relief from the distressing nausea which
they experience at certain times. These
pills are not recommended as q unioerSal
cure-aA, but simply for diseased Liver,
and those maladies which follow de-
rangement of that important organ, such
as Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indiges-
ton, Loss of Appetite, Costiveness,
Piles, Jaundice, Sour Stomach, Ladies
Heartburn, Chills and Fever, Foul
Breath, Restlessness at night, and Flatu-
lency. These invaluable pills may be
found in every Drug Store of any note
in the South and West. A2S6

is to do the-sam in Ohio. The object
is the same, though the issues may be
different. All Democrats can at least
unite upon this-opposition to radical
ism-and this is cement strong enough to
hold the party together.

A large number of the members of the
Georgia House of Representatives have
expressed purpose to prefer articles of
impeachment against Governor Bullock,
on the assembling of the Legislature.
There are said to be many alleged
grounds of impeachment, the principal
of which are the spending of large sums
of the public money by the Governor
without authority of law, the conversion
of the States funds to his own private
use, and the abuse of the pardoning
power.

of suffrage will be permitted to remain

The Savannah Republican, a Demo.

The Savannah Republican, q Demo
cratic paper, says:
''In his speech accepting the nomina-
tion for Governor of Massachusetts, Mr..
John Quincy Adams enuncinted the prin-
ciples which the Democracy must adopt
to achieve success in the next Presiden-
tial election. The New York Sun (radical)
says to him: If the party will cordially
accept his views on national issues, and
will present ia candidate that fairly reflects
them, then the Republicans in 1872 will
have to bring out their strongest man,
and throw into the canvass their bottom
dollar, or give up ail hope of victory
''The philosophy of Mr.. Adams is
simply recognition of the facts as they
actually exist. He does not see the wis
dom of fighting battles over again which
have once been fought and conclusively
decided. To any longer combat the re-
suits of the late war, including recon
struction and negro suffrage, he knows
to be rs bootless a struggle az it would
have been for General Lee to have re-
sisted the Union armies after they had
hemmed him in on all sides ut Appo-
mattox Court House. Mr.. Adams does
not require Democrats to yield up any
of their opinions rs to how, in their
judgment, these controversies ought to
have ended; but only to acknowledge the
undeniable fact that they have ended in
a particular way, and then, like men of
common sense, to govern themselves ac-
cordingly.
"Alr. Adams is the first Northern De-
mocratic candidate for high position to
break ground in favor of the Southern
view of party policy. We shall see how
it works in the election, and we predict
that if radicalism in Massachusetts is not
put to rout. its grand army will be so
badly crippled that it will not be able to
stand another campaign"

One OF THE BEAUTIES OF RADICAL RE-
CoNsTRUCTIoN.-Iti is one of the beauties
of the reconstruction scheme that abso-
lutte power is granted to the pair of
shoulder-strnps who lords it over q con-
quered province, and, at the same time,
he is permitted to intrigue for United
States Senatorship. Thus Candy sets
himself up for Senator from Virginia;
the swaggering Reynolds cuts and carves
the political situation to suit himself in
Texas; and Ames, an ignorant and inso-
lent swash- -buckler from New England,
parcels out the Offices with an eye to his
own exaltation in Mississippi Already
the Virginia dictator evinces disposi-
ton to exclude the conservative mem
bers of the Legislature, and install tools
of his own, who were not elected.
Knowing these circumstances, Grant
was either wilfully or indolently false
when he promised fair elections in those
States. Only the vast preponderance of
native born votes will save them. We
note this as n sign of the times s-as an
exposition of the farce to which tho ra-
dicals have reduced our republican sys-
tenn Of government t.-NeO York Ne,cs.

NEW SECRET PoLrr1oA1 ORaAN1zAT1oN

NEW SECRET PoLTTIoAL ORGANIZATIoN
IN MASSACHUSETTS. The Salem Observer,
in On article on the political situation in
Massachusetts, asserts that there is so
secret, powerful, fresh and insidious ele-
ment" at work in the politics of that
State which claims to be based upon the
strength of $4,000 votes, and which will
operate in the field without much re-
gard to party politics or to prohibition.
1t refers to the Crispin lodges and SINH
lar workingmen's organizations The
Observer adds "that labor questions are
becoming of vast Importance in this
country, and the organizations of labor
ing men are becoming constantly more
numerous and influential Ordinarily,
in Massachusetts,, side movements like
that of the CrispiLs would not amount
to much, but under existing complica-
tions they may exercise considerable in
fuence." It is evident that the Repub-
licans in Massachusetts are in heap of
trouble; and now that the cordwainers
are deserting them and organizing
leagues upon their own hook, it will re-
quire no little .tinesse to enable them to
retain their ascendancy in q State even
as strongly Republican as Massachusetts,.
The labor movement is no doubt grow
ing in strength all over the country; but
what those who are sincere in it have to
fear is being sold out body and soul by
some unscrupulous leaders on the. eve Of
an important election. .utaS n ..
