A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too intimately allied for the one to
suffer without the other so that dyspepsia and
dependency are inseParab.e. II may be added,
too, that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation of the
temper.
The inyigorating and tranquilizing operation
of hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully devel.
oped in cases of indigestion. The first effect
of this agreeable tenic is com .orting and encour.
aging. A mild glow pervades the system. the
chronic uneasiness in the region of the stomach
is lessened, and the nervous restlessness which
charac cries the disease is abated. This i'm.
provement is not transient. tits not succeeded
by the return of the old symptoms with super
added force as is always the case when unmed.
icated stimulants are given for the complaint.
Each dose seems to Impart permanent lcces-
sion of healthful IMMIGRATION. But this is not
all The aperient and antibilious properties OF
the preparation are scarcely secondary in i'm.
portance to its tonic virtues. If there is an
overflow of bile the secretion is soon brought
within proper limits, and if the bileary organ is
inert and torpid il is toned and regulated. The
effect upon the discharging organs is equally
salutary and in cases of constipation the oathnr-
tic action is just sufficient to produce the ue-
aired result gradually and without pain. The
Bitters also promote healthy evaporation from
the surface which is particularly desirable at
this season when sudden spells of raw, unpleas-
ant weather are apt 10 check the natural per-
spiration and produce congestion OF the liver,
coughs, and colds. The best safeguard against
all diseases is bodily uigor, and this the great
Vegetable Restorative essentially promotes.

UDisRnion.O

Under the above caption the Radical
N. Y. Evening Post, of Saturday, thus
| comments upon the action of the Unit
ed States Senate in regard to the ad-
mission of Virginia:
The Senate yesterday amended the
bill for the admission of Virginia to re-
presentation in Congress, by adding Mr..
brakes proviso for a test cath, which
disqualifies all persons who ever held
office under the State or the National
Government and afterwards engaged in
the rebellion, from helding Office in the
reconstructed State. This will exclude
from the present legislature q large
number of its members, and from pom
tical life entirely'all who have bad ex-
perience in it, and are identified Win
| the past public life Of the State.
This is an Inconvenience, and perhaps
a loss, but cannot be called unjust to
those excluded. The conclusive objec-
lions 10 such q test oath are of a more
general character. 1t perpetuates Q
division of tho people into classes,
which is fundamentally inconsistent
with the popular Government. 1t car.
ries forward indefinitely the direct eff
fects of crime which ought TO be re-
membered only for its historical les
SONS. 1t provokes discomfort, bitter
ness aud sedition where nothing is need
ed but political harmony to secure q
prosperous common wealth. In short
it is the direct opposite of statesman
ship.
Moreover, this act is q violation of the
pledged faith Of Congress. Under the
present reconstruction laws, even in
their last and most stringent form, all
the rights of q state are promised to
| Virginia upon conditions which she had
already fulfilled. The only pretext for
Withholding these rights now is that
political power in that State is likely to
be held by q party whose views are not
those of majority in Congress. The
same is true, however, of New York;
and it is setting dangerous precedent
to declare that State may be excluded
from the national councils for political
opinion. If the passions Of one faction
may find expression in dealing with the
constitutional rights of States in the
Union, may not those of another
raction yet find an occasion when
they will be glad to "better the exam
plei"
We trust that the House of Repre-
sentatives will insist upon the original
bill, without restrictive amendmonts;or,
better still, upon a simple resolution,
declaring that Virginia, having full
filled the conditions of the rceconstruc-
tion acts, is eE;itled to all the rights OF
a State.

The Boston Journal says:

The Boston journal says:
"The warm weather of the present
winter, which has continued to late
period of the season begins to attract
some notice in regard to the ice trade, AS
no new ice has yet been gathered. The
supply of the old crop is nearly exbaus.
ted. there being only about eight thou.
SAM tons now held in this vicinity,
which is q very small stock as compared
with former years, and in fact would
be considered hardly sufficient to last a
fortnight In simmer time. One Of our
dealers has no but four thousand tons
against thirty. five thousand tons a year
ago this month. The market here has
been unusually active the past yeay, in
consequence of the demand from Balti-
more, Washington and other cities,
which were unable last season to alb
tain any ice in their own neighbor-
hoods.
ALTHOUGH the season is far advanced,
there is no serious apprehension among
experienced ice men but that there will
yet be sufficient cold weather to afford
an ample crop. A full supply has some
times been cut out at q later period of
the winter. The lateness of the cutting
season, however, may render the opera
tion more hazardous aud perhaps affect
the quality of the article.
Some years ago the season was so
mild that all hopes were abandoned of
securing ice, and Boston firm largely
interested went to distant town in
Maine and expended nearly $4,000 in
cutting and storing the article, but at a
late day the long wished for cold
weather came, and the same parties
supplied themselves with an abundant
bavest near at hand, which afforded an
ample supply for the whole season,
while the stock down was left to waste
away, the cost of transportation being
too great to justify its removal so long
as the home product was sufficient. The
result was that the firm lost all the
money they expended in Maine"
