To James Ruddle & Co, Louisville Kentucky:
Geutlemen-This is to certify that have been for
years a sufferer, and tried all the tOnics / ever
heard Of or seen advertised with little no relief
from any Of them. heard your Hurley Bitters
highly spoken of, and tried a bottle, With little
faith in it before commenced, and TO my sur
prise and joy, before finished one bottle, felt
great deal better, and firmly believe that or
two occasions it was the means Of saving and pro-
longing my life. 1 eonscientiously recommend
them to ali sufferers the best bitters known and
advise them to always ask for DR.. T. A. Hurleys,
and have no other. You can use this as you think
proper, if it viii benefit others.
Yours, truly, etc, JOHN ". DIXON.

of cadetships by Whitlemore, of South
Carolina, which fastens il very siongly on
that member. Whiltemore appeared be-
fore The committee and denied the whole
Transaction, but said tlat after be had APP
pointed the cadet the father of the ato7e-
said sent 81, 600 into the district for edu-
cational purposes. It Is the general be
lief that Whittemore IS fairly caught, and
it is the determination of the committee,
if they reach the same conclusion, to
move for his expulsion from the House.
THE oADETsHP MARKET.
The effect Of the investigation into TIE
sale of cadelships was very forcibly illus
trated yesterday when Congressman But
Ter, Of Tennessee, appeared before The
committee and stated that, in the DISPOSE
ton of his nomination for the cadet
ship 10 the military academy, he
netted $1,000, which he devoted to
political purposes, giving five hundred to
aid IN the election Of Stokes for Governor
Of his State. The evidence yesterday
aside from this was nearly TO the effect
that Dewese, of North Carolina, had bar
gained for the sale of his cadetship, but il
did not appear that be received any
money for the same. Whittemore, Of
South Carolina, who has been in
cUlpated by some testimony. appeared
before the committee yesterday voluuta-
rily, and stated that he had refused money
considerations for his cadedship, but nom
mated the son an old friend who had
acquired regular residence in his dis
trict, and was therefore legally qualified.
| Subsequently he says q sum of money was
sent to his district to be used for political
and educational purposes, but that it did
not pass through his hands, and was sent
without any arrangement On his part. In
view of the evidence heretofore given
against him, the committee gave White
more the benefit of his statement, which
he said could be substantiated by other
witnesses. The evidence, however, is
direct that he offered to sell it.

FURTHER.

4 Sunday paper says r. r. Butler, of
Tennessee, who received 81, 600 for his
West Point nomination, and who yester-
day appeared before the com
mittee, after admitting the fact stated
that he had giyed $500 Of the money TO
aid in electing Col. Stokes as Governor Of
that State, 5000 of it to other politicians,
and the remainder he had devoted to his
own use in defraying the expense of his
caDUaign.
