FooD MEDICINES Hall relates the
case OF man who was cured of biliou.ness
by going without his supper and drinking
freely of lemonade. Every morning, says
the doctor, this patient rose with a wonder
full sense of rest, refreshment, and feeling
as though the blood had been literally wash
ed, cleansed, and cooled by the lemonade
and the fast. His theory is that food will
be used a. remedy for many diseases sue
cessfully. For example, he instances cures
OF splitting blood by the use of salt epilepsy
and yellow fever, watermelons kidneys af-
fections, celery poison, olive or sweet oil ;
erysipelas, pounded cranberries applied to
the parts affected ; hydrophodia, onions, etc.
So the thing to do in order to keep in good
health, Is really to know what to eat. and
not what medicine to take.

R. NJ. S. in his letter Of the 29th ult.,
to the Marietta Register, says Of the bill
to increase .tae pay of the Judges Of the
Supreme Court:
"The friends Of the measure agreed
to place it at $4,000, which in my judg
ment was right.
"This whole matter, however, suffered
the fate of the fifty cent pay jurors, and
was indefinitely postponed nv the follow
ing vote AYES 81; Mars r."
The distinguished R. NJ. SIS name i,
among the nays.
After being beaten in his vote to- in
crease the pay of Radical officers he
.crawfshes in this style:
"This NAV be decided as settling the
question decisively as to increase of pay
in any other case during the session
and as whole it settles It in strict &C
cordance with right. The tendency, u
this Legislature Is wholly toward econo
my-a mighty good tendency; and it may
now be safe to predict that good ac
count will be given in this direction"

The Income Tax.

"The income tax is TO be continued
that's certain. So those who delight
in nothing so much as in paying for
''preserving the Union had better get
their small change ready. The New
England tariff men are trying to make a
combination to repeal the income tax ;
but tits not. difficult to see the tail of the
cat sticking out of that meal-tub. They
want to have it to say that inasmuch as
the ninety millions on incomes are lost
to the Treasury, that amount must be
made up from imports land then all those
who arc in favor of paying the national
debt must vote for a superdamnable tar
if It is idle to talk of any actual re
duction of taxation while the expenses
of the Government are increasing as
under the 'tmodel administration" You
can only abolish one tax by substituting
another. In whatever form you take il
the dose must be swallowed, whether in
pill or potions."
MACK is annoying to the Radicals, be
cause he is. continually exposing their
tricks, whereby they expect to hoodwink
the people.

That Thousand polar Darkey

MACK disposes of the Negro Senator
from Mississippi in the following, which
will not prove very entertaining reading
to the ''loyal" who were shout ,g them
selves hoarse at the victory gained over
the white race:
GA number of journals speak of Mr.
Revels, the colored Senator from Missis-
slppi as a Thousand dollar darkey." In
doing so they are guilty of gross injus-
tice to the gentleman in question, and Of
still grosser Misrepresentation of the
times If Mr. Revels were only ''thou.
sand dollar darkey," l should not fee
constrained to do more than bow polite.
ly as / pass him on the threshold of the
Senate Chamber, or treat him with thai
degree of respectful consideration which
is due to member of the honorable
body whereof he has been chosen mem
| ber."
"There are those-so the poet tells us
Ito whom a primrose by the rivers
brink Is yellow primrose, and no more
| to all such Mr.. Revels is a thousand-dol
lar darkey. But 1 confess to disposi.
ton to look on him in far more exal
ted light see in him three thousand
Million dollar darkey / hear in his voice
the thunders of Donelson and Shiloh
and Vicksburg and Gettysburg; and in
his footsteps the tread of mightier ar
mics than Napoleon marshaled for the
conquest of Europe"
1.-The election of Revels is the net pro
ceeds of all that war and bloodshed.-
He represents the assets and liabilities
of tAe four years struggle, he is ''the
glorious fruits of union and victory"
whereof we have heard so much. If this
be not so, let the reader point out some
other solution TO. the problem. Why
was the war fought, if not to elect Rev.
els2 And now that it is over, what is
there to show for its million graves and
its three thousand millions of dollars
except the election of Revels? If there
are other results to the great struggle
name them"
"But, at any rate, let us not be irrever-
ent on the subject of Revels-let us moi
belittle him into thousand dollar dar
key ;but let us rather seein him the great
living representative of the issue which
it took so many precious lives and SC
much precious treasure to bring to 8
victorious conclusion; and so regarding
him, let us approach him with uncovered
heads, and bow before him as to the great
Jove himself"

Minority Representatl0n--Mr.
Amos Bill.

Governor HAYES in his Message to the
Legislature of 1869, said:
81 submit to your judgment the pro-
priety of such amendments to the election
laws as will provide, first, for the repre-
sentation Of minorities in the boards of
the judges and clerks of the elections
and second, for the registration-of all
the lawful voters in each township. ward
and election precinct, prior to the cleo
ton"
That Legislature regarded the above
recommendations as having very little in
them calculated to increase the conf
dence of the people in the purity of elec
tions.
In the Senate proceedings of the 4tl
inst, we find the following:
rs. 3. S9-Mr. Amos-To amend the
act to amend the act for the incorpora
ton of townships, passed March IA
1858, and an act amendatory thereof
passed April IS, 1868, S. d c. 1866 and
S. Il S. 914) The object of this bill i:
to give the minority party at election:
one Judge and one clerk of election"
We doubt very much the necessity fol
such law, and more especially wher
recommended by Governor HAYES, ,
supporter of all the infamous acts of tn,
party in power.

A .Hard.Rubber,' Outrage--Ims
prisOnment for Life-.H How TO Ap.
ply A Remedy.

To the Editors of the Enquirer:
/ saw piece in your paper, the other
day, headed "a Life for Patent" which
you copied from New York paper, and
which went ON to state that an old man
had been imprisoned for life for making
India-rubber combs, thus infringing up
ON the India-rubber Comb Company's
patent, and that the Head center of the
Company had refused to sign the peti-
ton to have the old gray headed man
released. Now, Messrs Editors, can
suggest sure way in which this India
rubber hearted man can be persuaded to
have that old man released.
Let no person buy, let no druggist or
fancy goods dealer handle, one of the
combs manufactured by that company
until that old man is given his liberty
The idea was suggested to me by GUS
toner, who refused to purchase one of
the combs for that very reason, hope,
for humanity's sake, that you will pub
lish this, and also hope that the news
papers will copy. A DRuaGIsr.

Tariff for Revenue, But None 10
En- tCh the East AT the Expense
of the West.
In Congress, or the 7th inst, the fol-
lowing resolutions by Mr.. MARSHALL, of
Illinois, were considered:
"Resolred, That the power granted in
the Federal Constitution to levy and
collect taxes, duties en- import sn6 excl
ses to pay the debts and provide for the
common defense and general welfare OF
the United States does not include OF
embrace any power to levy duties for
any purpose other than the collection OF
reven,es for such there indicated; that a
tariff levied for any purpose other than
revenue, and especially one levied to fos.
ter and enrich one section of our coun.
try at the expense of the other, or to
foster and enrich one class of citizens a,
the expense of others, Is unauthorized
by the Constitution, unjust to great
l.body of American people, and in its re-
suits injurious eventually to nearly every
individual interest of the country.
"Resolred. That in the preparation oi
the bill for the modification of the exist
ing tariff laws, Congress should conint
its attention strictly to the preparation
of tariff for revenue exclusively, anc
that the duties on no article should bt
greater than that which would give s
maximum of revenue on such articles
The question was, on Mr. KELSEY
motion, to lay on the table, which wa:
carried-yeas SO, nays II.
A motion to reconsider was tabled
yeas 81, nays 80.
Mr. E. H. MOORE, the Radical misrep
resentative from this District, voted te
lay the resolution OH the table, whicl
amounts to this: Il,
1st That tariff levied to enrich thu
Eastern protectionists at the expense o
Western taxpayers sis authorized by
the Constitution" j..
| I'd. That it SIS just to great body o.
the American people"
81 That ''its results are not injuriou:
to nearly every individual interest of tht
country"
On the motion to reconsider Mr.
MOORE voted nay at the beck of his mas
| tiers, theaaprotectionists.
BY casting these votes NJ. MooRl
does not represent the 18th Congres

The RetriblitiOn.

An exchange thus truthfully details the
retribution that has overtaken the lead
ing spirits in the murder of that inno-
cent woman, Mrs. Surratt. Read it and
hand to your Republican neighbor to
read also, and to ponder over:
How wonderful, how fearful has been
the retribution of Heaven upon those
engaged in the murder of that poor wild
ow Surratt! Had every one of them
been arrested, condemned and put to
death by the agency of human law, the
effect would have been much less i'm.

of the United States, when the daughter
of Mrs. Surratt attempted to appeal to
the President in behalf. of her condemn

girl aside and would not let her pass irtc
