Injure the main spring of watch, and every
portion of the works become disordered. The hu-
man stomach is to the human system what that

trolls, to certain extent, tho whole living machine
The comparison may be carried further, for as the
weakness other imperfections of the main spring
the weakness or other disorder OF the stomach be-
trayed by the face Of the invalid The complexion
is sallow faded, the eyes deficient In lustre
and intelligence, and there ia a worn, anxious ex-
preston in the whole countenance which tell as
plainly as written words could do, that the great
nourishIng organ whose Office 1t is to minister to
the wants OF tho body, and to sustain and renew
all its parts is not performing its duty. 1t requires
renoyating and regulating, and to accomplish this
end Hostetters Stomach Bitters may be truly said
to be the one thing needful The broken main spring
of watch may be replaced by new one, but the
stomach can only be repaired and strengthened,
and this Is one Of the objects of the famous veget
able restorative which for eighteen years has been
waginga successful contest with dyspepsia in all
climates. As specific for indigestion it stands
alone. When the resources of the pharmacopDia

than mitigating the complaint, course Of this
wholesome and palatable, yet powerful, stomachic

OF dyspepsia the liver is more or less disordered,

stomach and bowels, the Bitters act with singular
distinctness, regulating and reinyigorating every
secretive and assimlating organ on which bodily

ARIG THING.

John Dixon, of San Francisco, in a
letter TO the President, urges that Con-
gress pass an act authorizing Grand In
ternational Gift Exhibition, to be held in
some central city of the United States,
during the last year of the Presidents
term, 1872 and 1878, by which sufficient
money can be realized to pay off the put-
lie debt before the President closes his
present administration. He suggests that
one thousand million tickets, at S. in gold
coin (greenbacks TO be received at their
par value) each, be issued, each ticket to
admit the holder five times to the exhibit
ton; that the sum of $4,000, 900 be set
apart as gifts TO the holders of the tickets,
the gifts varying from 300 to $500, 600:
that out of the remaining funds the Ma
tional debt be paid, the balance TO be used
in tho erection of Capitol in the most
central part of the United States. The
writer concludes that many tickets would
be purchased in foreign countries.

THE TRIBUNE ON SCHENCK'S
t-8 TAX ssREFORDED

Schenck's internal revenue bill, passed
by the House of Representatives, is thus
analysed by the New York Tribune:
This bill forces an income tax from the
clerk, whose 81, 500 salary is known,
while it opens many doors of escape to
his employer whose 100000 income is
not 80 easily reached. 1t Furnishes him
who dares to own the roof over the heads
of his family by not allowing him to de-
duct from his taxable income the interest
annually paid on any mortgage he may
have thereon, while it allows premium,
in the shape of deduction of $500, to
his neighbor who, unlike himself, prefers
paying an extravagant rent. 1t recognizes
gambling hells and lottery swindles by
imposing upon them tax which can
never he collected. Although pronounced
by its advocates to be measure that dis
eliminates against the rich In favor of the
poor, the principal taxes which itremoYes
are the tax upon railroad companies, gas
companies, upon rich legacies and sue
cessions to real estate, upon such luxuries
as gold and silver plate, carriages, gold
watches and private billiard tables. Under
these circumstances, should the Senate
decide to join with the House in the pass
age of the bill, its members must be pre-
pared to give better reasons for so doing
than those which have hitherto been ad-
yanced.

SENSIBLE.

The Buffalo Commercial AdUertise7,
a reliable Radical organ, makes the fol-
lowing sensible remarks about some of its
political sllics in the South:
The Republicans in Louisiana have
much to complain of if report tells the
truth. A number Of them are now in
Washington urging the Administration TO
assist them IN an attempt to save the State
from further pillage at the hands of an
abandoned and corrupt set of office-hold-
ers. One effect of the Acknowledgement
of large numbers Of the Southern people
has been to bring lot Of worthless adyen-
turers into power. Men have run to the
South from all parts of the country, and
by persistent Misrepresentation have sue
ceeded in obtaining and retaining impor-
tant official positions. They are now be-
ing shown up in their true colors, and the
quicker they are thrown overheard the
better it will be for the South and the
Southern Republican party. Whittemore
in South Carolina, Bullock in Georgia,
and Yarmouth in Louisiana, arc fair
specimens of the crew that have got the
deck now at the South. 1t is to be hoped
th&t the Administration viii be prompt in
getting rid of all officials of that stamp
that are within its reach.

aEnmAN L1srsIGRATIoN.


Tie Cincinnati Courier, an organ of
the German population Of sPorkopolis "
has the following article in one of its
late issues:
Or TO sTKySEssER-EgerJthine seems
to indicate that the German element of
this great republic is finding newcomer
of gravity. 49,. - =-s .
According TO tie uniform reports, the
German immigration of la.e is with ssde-
cided preference turning toward the State
of Tennessee, where, in the more promi-
nent cities, as Memphis, Nashville, Knox
vile, Jackson, MurfreesbOro, Humboldt,
etc., considerable numbers of their coun-
try1nen are to be met with already. * g
L Three important and reliable companies
are occupied in directing the tide of i'm
migration 10 different sections of the State,
and in providing employment and situa-
tions for the Immigrants; the latter have
purchased already 60, 900 acres of land,
principally in the counties of Lawrence,
Lewis and Giles. Over three hundred
German farmers and mechanics, with
their families, have already settled IN
those counties, and it Is to be expected
that the German nationality will soon
form an important element of the popula-
ton, and that Tennessee will have more
| Inhabitants of German origin than any
! other of the Southern States, with the ex-
ception of Texas. 81 - 'eli.
| We cannot but congratulate those OF
our coIntrymen who have selected Ten
nessee for their home, for the soil almost
throughout the State is rich and fertile,
and will fully repay them for the sweat
of their brows. So good luck to the new
settlers and future citizens of Tennessee.

/ The National Bank influence having
taxed the State Bank issues out of exist
encc, tits now waging an exterminating
var against the Greenbacks. Unless the
people come powerfully to the rescue in
the fall elections, the National Bank mo-
Hopolists VIII triumph and thetaxes which
Ye are now paying to support them viii
be increased rather than diminished. The
New York Herdldadmits that majority
Of the members of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes are in favor of pushing the
legal tenders out and of increasing j the
National Bank circulation. This was seen
when Mr.. Garfeld's substitute for the
Senate currency bill passed by vote OF
SO yeas to 81 nays This bill as 1t
now stands authorizes an additional
issue Of ninety-three millions of
National Bank notes, and requires the
cancellation of forty five millions Of three
per cent ccrtifcsteG Several amendments
were proposed to Mr.. Garfeld's bill, to
issue more legal tenders and to mike the
entire, circulation of the country q legal
tender or greenback one, and to withdraw
the National Bank currency. These were
voted against by q large majority, which
shows that the National Bank influence
is supreme in the House of Represents
ives. 1t is the same, no doubt, In the
Senate. The next movement viii be to
withdraw altogether the legal tenders, and
TO give the whole circulation of the coun-
try to the banking associations. One of
tie most significant votes was that on the
proposition of MIR. Burchard, requiring
National Banks to retain and keep in coin
or Treasury coin certificates, as part OF
their reserve, the interest falling due upon
the bonds deposited as security for circu-
lation until the reserve required to be
kept shall consist wholly of coin and coin
certificates. This proposition, which con-
templated bringing the banks to specie
payments or q specie basis, was rejected.
OF course, as we have frequently said,
the national baks do not want and never
will want to return to specie basis.
Why should they desire such vast
amout of dead capital being locked up
and improbable as there would be If
they were compelled to keep q
reserve of coin or coin certif-
Gates This would take away large
amount of the profits on their currency
circulation, and nobody goes 80 far
against his own interests. The national
banks viii never find it to their interest 10
return to specie payments, and, with the
vast power they have over Congress and
IN the country, it viii be very difficult to
force them TO any measure to which they
may be opposed. With the whole circu-
lation of the country in their hands
some six hundred millions or more-they
will have an annual profit of nearly forty
millions in gold. Rightly all of this be-
longs to the people and should go into the
Treasury. But the banks have got the
power and will keep it. More than half
the members of Congress, probably, are
interested directly or indirectly in the na-
tional banks, and these so-called repre-
sentatIves of the people are simply legis-
lating for themselves.
