The NEWSPAPERS of.shs State are discuss
ing the subject of salaries for the State
officers. We have always believed in the
policy of giving sufficient salaries TO com
mand proper qualifications and good mer
to discharge the duties of the various OH
ces; but, now, at this time, after deeT
draining of the State exchequer BY car
.pet-bag officials, in our first efforts to re-
lnstate ourselves to our former prosperity
we feel that,a CONSTANT Ecncmy is a great
or necessity to the public good than Law.
ish salary is due TO public officer. We
shel;eve it to be magnanimous act OF true
.patriotism to serve oaes country, IN her
hour. of trial and need, without the hope
of pecuniary reward, and Judge that tai
ent which can only be-seepred for the pub
lie good, in such times of need, ty the
promises OF. large salaries, must be con-
trol'ed by bassr sentiments. We hope
the Virginia Legislature will NOS only sex-
ercise a sound judgement and discrlmln'
ating regard for capacity and talent, rather
than to deal favors to friends. in the APP
,pointments they are to make, but, as well.
find just and proper medium of reward
for such services. suitable alike to the
resources of the Treasury and the time
and talent of the different officials; neither
appearing nigardly to the officer nor wan
tenly layish of the public funds.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

'The life Of the flesh is in the Blood, is Z
Scriptural maxim that science proves 70 b.
true. The people talk Of bad blood, as the
cause of many diseases, and many popular
opinions this of bad blood Is founded in ruth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion-causes imperfect natfl-
ton, and consequently the circulation is fee
BILE, tue soft tissues loose their tone and elias
ITCHY, and the tongue becomes pale, broad,
and frequently covered with q pasty, white
coat This condition soon shows itself in
roue hness of the skin, then in eEuptiye and
Lucrative diseases, anJ when long continued,
results in serious LESSONS of the Brain, Liver,
Lungs, OF urinary apparatus. Much, very
much, suffering is caused by impure blood. 1t
is estimated by some that one fifth of the hu-
man family are effected with scrofula in some
form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so LA
BILE to any disease. Many impurities of the
Blood arise from impure diseases of large
cities. Eradicate every impurity from the
fountain Of life, end good spirits, fair skin
and vital strength will return 10 you.

made almost beyond belief. Every man who

letter in an assumed solemn manner, csus-

that it had certified to tbirty-nin million

A New View of the Fifteenth Amend

The moment the ratification of the fif-
teenth amendment is completed, it will be-
comea par: of the Constitution. The MO,
ment it becomes part of the Constitution
it will render null and void any existing
law that may be inconsistent with itself.
Now, under this amendment, every State
will have the right to require any qualiiica-
ton in negro voter which is also required
in white one 1t follows inevitably that
the moment this amendment becomes a
part of the Constitution, all that part OF
the act admitting Virginia to representa-
ton in Congress which is inconsistent With
the amendment, will be at once done away
with and be as if it had never been.
This we lay down as certainly true.
Nevertheless. the people of Virginia will
not be likely to avail themselves Of the
right which they will thus acquire.-Dis-

the Importance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kid

to forty eight hours.

ties at the time. or when there is a disposition
to Urinae more frequently than natural, or
when the Urine is high eolored or scalding
with weakness in the small of the back. it
should not be trifed with or delayed, but Kos

originate from those of the Kidneys, the Urine
