The ShiVering Season.

1t is impossible to suppose that any human being
can consider an attack of Fever and Ague light
visitation And yet thousands act as if such a
calamity was of no consequences; while thousands
who are actually suffering from the distressing
complaint neglect to adopt the certain means Of
cure. 1t ought to be known in every locality sub
ject to this scourge or which is infested with re-
mittent fever, or any other epidemic produced by
malaria, that HosTETTER's STOMACH BITTERs
taken in advance or at the commencement of the
unhealthy season, will fortify the system against
the atmospheric poison which generates these dis
tempers. This admirable invigorant- harmless,
agreeable, and possessing rarer medicinal virtues
than any other tonic at present known, will break
up the paroxysms of intermittent or remittent
fever in from 4s hours to 10 days Such is the uni
fevers have been combatted with this powerful
vegetable Chologogue. In a thieyish neighborhood
wise men bar their doors and windows, yet strange
TO say, if the same neighborhood happens to be
pervaded by erial poison they seldom take the
trouble TO put their bodies in a state of defense
against the subtle enemy. Shivering victims en-
deavoring in vain to warm fyour blue hands over
the fire, or consuming with the fever that follows
the chill, remember that HOSTETTER's BITTERS
is an absolute speedy and faHible specific for your
distressing malady. oct26-d1w&wlt

APPROPRIATION TO REGIS

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
see there is bill, which has passed the
Senate, believe, on its third reading, and
transmitted to the House, making small
appropriation to our late commissioners of
registration. / think it is one of the most
praiseworthy acts that our wise legislators
could do to remunerate these registrars for
their services previous to the late election.
The majority of them had to take the means
out of their own pockets to defray expenses
for blanks, stationery, and clerks hire,
while they have received nothing for their
own services. The money they expended
should be refunded, and they paid for their
services. For the information of the public,
request you to publish that portion of the
law touching the pay of registrars. The
act of Feb %, 1867, provides that they
''shall receive from the treasury of the
State the sum of one hundred dollars, to be
paid upon the warrant of the Comptroller
of the State. The registrars appointed by
Gov Senter have received no such pay as
is provided by law. hope the bill will be
passed without dissenting voice.

CRANT AND YERGER.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says it has been
ascerained that the occasion of the special
cabinet meeting, on the 2Othinst., was the
consideration Of the notorious Yerger case.
Attorney General Hoar is said to have ex-
pressed the opinion that, considering the
well known defeat of those sections of the
reconstruction acts referring to the juris-
diction of the civil courts, the Supreme
Court viii undoubtedly render an opinion
in the case averse to the powers of the
military tribunal before which hewas tried
and convicted. The result of the consul
tation was, of course, a decision TO abide
by the final action of the court, but it
is generally understood that the final ac-
ton viii not be promulgated by the court
until after Congress meets. There is an
extraordinary disposition manifested by
the Supreme Court TO defer action on all
subjects likely to bring that department
in conflict with Congress Fomey
tried through his Philadelphia
Press, of the 10th inst, to
force Grant into disrcgarding the de
cision Of the Supreme Court in the Yerger
case, should that decision be adverse TO the
right of the military 10 try and hang
Ycrgcr, but it seems he did not succeed in
squirting Grant up TO that point The
Commercials correspondent says:
"The rumOrs regarding President
Grants intention 10 disregard the man
dates of the courts are proved to be false
| by the fact that it has been in his power
10 execute Yerger's sentence at any time
since it was Forwarded for approval In
stead of doing so, however, he has anN
| iously coUted the Intervention OF the judi
ciary, for the purpose of being governed
in his actions 10y the highest authority
which could possibly be interested in the
case. 1t is, therefore, probable that, in
due course of time, Yerger viii be turned
over 10 the civil authorities for trial
