DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

1.-THE life Of the flesh is in the Blood" Is q
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be true.
The people talk of bad blood as the cause Of many
diseases, and like many popular opinions this Of
bad blood is founded in truth
The symptoms Of bad blood are usually quite
plaiu-bad Digestion causes imperfect nutrition,
and consequently the circulation is feeble the soft
tissues lose their tone and elasticity, and the
tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently COW
cred with pasty, white coat. This condition soon
shows itself in Foghness of the skim then in ERUP
TIVE and LUCRATIVE diseases, and when long con-
tnued results in serious LESSONS Of the Brain, Lv-
er, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much, very
much, suffering is caused by impure blood. 1t Is
estimated by some that one-ffth Of the human
family are affected with scrofula in some FORM
When the blood is pure, you are not SO liable to
any disease. Many impurities Of the Blood arise
from impure diseases of large cities Eradicate
every mpurity from the fountain of life, and good
spirits, fair skin and vital strength VIII return to
you.

Two gentlemen of Montgomery, Ala,
recently went to North Carolina to hire
farm hands for the coming season, and
having succeeded in engaging a number,
one of them telegaphed TO a railroad of
fetal as follows:
Greensboro, N. c., March 2, 1870
W. A. Smith, President of the North
Carolina Central railroad: VIII you carry
laborers over your road as cheaply as 9TH
er roads? If so, prefer your road. Let
me hear from you. W. MCGAUGH.
The official in question, who appears to
be a compound of knave and ass, an
swered as follows:
RALEIGH, March 2, 1S70.-W. J.
McGaugh: We are opposed to taking our
citizens out of the State You must pay
full fare. We need them in the next
election, and would not be sustained if
l connived at anything which would de-
feat our party.
w. A. SMITH, President.
Here were lot Of negroes who had
an opportunity of lettering their condi-
ton by getting higher wages, but the
Radical President of the North Carolina
Central Railroad did not want them to 20
out of the State, frankly confessing that
his party would need them at the next
election. We have often told the negro
that the Radicals had no other use for
him than as voting machine, and here
is prominent Radical confessing as
much.

Inconsistent Cengressmen.

Just before the close OF the last
session Of Congress, a strong effort
was made in the House to pass the
Senate bill to apportion representation
in the next House, on the basis-of the
census of 1870. This change would
have given the State of Illinois a
gain of six Representatives, Indiana
two, and the entire West an increase
of thirty. A measure so advantageous
to the Northwest would, we should
have supposed. secured the support
of every Congressman from that Sec
ton. The bill was, however, defeat
ed by two majority. Among the ma
iority we find such sterling Democrats
As William e. Ni5zack. Michael G.
Kerr. and Daniel W. Voorhees,.
We would like to know what ex-
ouse these gentlemen can offer for
voting against the bill? The reason
assigned for their vote by the Chicago
Tribune is that they thought the Re-
publicans would elect the additional
members from this State, as we'll as
from Ohio. But this reason will not
answer. for the Democrats are ever
boas ting that Indiana will be carried
by their party. as certain as the cleo
ton takes place in October next.
Some other excuse must be invented.
For years the Democratic papers of
this and other Western States have
teemed with abuse of the New Eng
land States, and the Republicans
have been assaulted as being subserv-
lent to New England interests. We
are curious to know how Messrs.
Niblack, Kerr and Voorhees, will re-
concile their hostility to New England
with their votes to perpetuate the
power of that section in Congress, by
preventing their own State from en-
joying a representation which her
population fairly entities her to. It
is the Congressman who voted against
the bill increasing Western rep
resentation in the House, who are
playing into the hands of the
New England Monopolists and
s Capitalists" as the Democratic pa
pers have been in the habit of CLASH
flying the people of those states. The
bill was defeated by only tsro votes.
Had our Democratic Congressman
voted az they have been in the habit
Of talking to their constituents, the
bill would have become the law and
thirty members from the West added
to our Congressional delegation.
With these Representatives. fresh
from the people of the West, added to
those already in the House. the high
tariff and other legislation. by which
the interests Of the people of the
West are made subservient to the
New England interests, would soon
be done away with. But what hope
have we Of any such result, when
Democratic Representatives vote d.
rectly the reverse of what they prom.
Use before the people. This vote Of
Mr.. VOORHEES, will be an interesting
subject for explanatory remarks when
he makes his speech ct Mt. Vernon.
Mr.. Niblack viii, no doubt, have am
pie time, between now and the cleo
ton. to explain the part he took in
defeating the bill.

We do not know what better evil
dence the world could have of the
necessity of giving its moral support
to Prussia, in the war now just COM

that formerly sustained Slavery, and
that now sustain Popery, and that are
invariably on the wrong side of every
political question that has moral
side to it, are. almost to man, shout
ing for Napoleon. There is, in all
forms of despotism, from the grand
despot of the world-the poor old
Pope-doWn through kings and aris-
tocrats, to the most brutal of the mon
sters who are wishing for an opportu-
nifty to whip negro women again-a
bond of sympathy that is wonderful
in its length and strength. Touch it

tyranny, is everywhere in the air. A

ton of the above general facts is, In
the case of Prussia and her causeless
enemy. exceedingly clear. They are
the reactionary and despotic forces
that are arrayed for the desper-
ate attack upon the freest and best

Popery has done its worst-are the

Whatever the cause, let not our

the refinement of the earliest ideas of

EVANSVILLE is about to issue one

on the second million. The Free Press
says of the Courier printed in Evans
vile:

Evansville has outstripped Madison
in growth and prosperity. So has
Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, IndIanapo-

cities has ever had water works. while
Madison has for twenty years been
supplying cheap water to less than q
hundred consumers. If the Council

can make debt and increase the tax
