TEp arnRe1A ELECTION.

The State Of Georgia has chosen g ma
ioritr OF Democratic Representatives in
Congress, and elected Legislature which |
is also Democratic. It is said, that Atior-
pey General Akerman, in CASE tho Legfsla-
aure elected had been Republican, would
have been candidate for tho United Ststes |
Senate. From this we infer that there is a
Senator to be elected this winter, and in !
this particular it may be interesting to give
The history OF the State On that Senatorial
question. When Georgia scceaaa, she Was
represented in the Senate by Alfrsl lver-
son, whose term would have expired March |
>, 1861, and Robert Toombs whose torn
would have expired in 1865. Under the
bogus government called into existence
by Andrew Johnson's proclamation,
the Legislature, in 1863, elected II. Z.
johnson for sir years. from March, 1865,
and 4. H. Stephens for the term ending in
March, 1873. Neither of these wero ad-
mit.ed. Subsequently, in 1s61-Gs, tho Leg
islsture elected Joshua Hill, for the term |
ending in Msrch, 1871, and DR.. Miller for
the term ending in 1873. The same Legis-
lature, at later date, elected Messrs. Ear
row and Whitley for these sameterms, and
also elected Foster Blodgett for tLe term
commencing in March, 1871. The persons

without hard labor. But il is unquestion-
ably true that the principle of co-opesa-
tion applied to the purchase, the division,
and the settlement OF lands upon the
plains, and to the transportation of num-
hers, instead Of single families or individ-
mails, does away with many Of the hard
ships and sacrifices incident hitherto to
emigration and frontier life, aud gives to
the settler the benefit OF large capital, and

The reputation this excellent medicine en-
joys, is derived from its cures, many Ofwmch
are truly marvellous. lnVeterate cases of
ScrOfulous disease, where the system seemed
saturated with corruption, have been puri-
fed by it. ScrotulOus affections and disor-
dcrs, which were aggravated by the scroftl-
lOus contamination un.i they were painful
y affecting, have been radically cured in
such great numbers in almost every section
of the country, that the public scarcely need
to be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrotulous poison is one ofthe most de-
structivc enemies OfOur race. Often this IN
seen and untelt tenant of the organism IN
d rmines the constitution, and invites the
attack of enteebEng ar fatal diseases, with

Again, it seems to breed infection through
out the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one or other
ofits hideous forms, either on the surface or
among the vitals. In the latter, tubucles
may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumOrs formed in the liver, or it
shows its presence by eruptions on the skin,
or foul alterations on some part of the body.
Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this
SgrSaPG1EtlG is advisable, even when no ac-
