:. DO You Want TO Marry Niger:

The editor of the REGISTER is greatly
distressed again lest he he compelled to
marry Niger" and filled his column
yesterday with dismal torebodings Of so
cial equality with negroes. '-htcliigco-
Ger.
The negro worshipper Of the A,teHi-
gcacer don seem at all distressed at his
prospects of amalgamation. He rather
courts it, and is sanguine. His taste
seems to blend very naturally with
black and white colors Perhaps he is
already engaged, if the bonds of matri-
monial felicity are not tied? Hence his
anxiety that all amendments to the
Constitution and all laws shall throw
their special egis over his colored flock.
Though, like rotten mackcrel, they
may "shine and stink, and stink and
shine" he wants to shine and
stink with them. Well, neighbor, as
JOIN RANDOLPH once said to a certain
politician, just shine and stink on.
We prefer our race and color.

Get HE Resi-.

This is sound advice, especially, since we
give il in reference TO medicine, and in
order To learn which is 1.-The best" let merit
be the test. The American market is flood
cd with all sorts of vile and dangerous nos
trums, and thousands Of human lives are
constantly placed in jeopardy by them. But
there are several really invaluable medici-
nal preparations which every family i'll the
land ought TO possess at all times. Fore
most among them is MISHLER'S HERB
BITTERS, which has fully established its
claim as the most cfliCaciOuS compound
eXtant for purifying the blood and eradi-
eating diseases arising from diSOrdercd
stomach, liver, kidneys, intestines, etc. II
is used in many hospitals, asylums, dispen-
satOrieS, prisons, etc, and recommended by
q large number of acknowledged leaders of
the medical profession, and has conquered
an immense field solely on the strength of
what il can and does do i'll preventing,
checking and curing disease. Everybody
should use it for Indigestion, Dyspepsia,
Fever and Ague, and Bilious complaints
generally, Kidney diseases, Liver conf
plants, &c.

The Negro Vote.

There is at least one sensible Repub-
lican paper in this State, the Parkers-
burg Times. In publishing our article
upon the constitutional question OF adj
hitting negroes to register and to
vote in this State before there has been
any change in our Constitution or reg
istry law, that journal says:
I'VE publish the above and call par
ticular attention to the REGISTERS very
pertinent and, in our opinion, unretuta-
BILE argument; we publish it because
we also contend that before our Legisla-
ture takes action and makes the requir-
ed change in our Constitution, the Fiji
teenth Amendment is imperative in our
State And therefore we consider the
labor of three gents lost, who, as we are
informed, have already commenced OPP
erations among our colOred brethren.
Why this haste?

Taxation rests like a nightmare upon
every citizen, and every trade, profess
sion and business in the land. There
is scarcely anything that escapes the
clutches of the cormorant tax collector
The very life and energies of the people
are crushed cut by his greedy and ex-
acting demands.
From SS5,000,0OO, the annual ex-
penditures of the Government has run
up to the enormous sum Of four hundred
millions, not including the stealage; and
from national debt of $85, 900, 600, the
Radical party has run up one to S2,5oo'-
000,0O0-greater than any one man
could count in five life times. 1t is no
doubt millions above that amount, but
we put it down at the figures they give
us from the National Treasury, because
the picture as presented is sufficiently
frightful to a nation of taxpayers, with
out giving it more coloring.
Such has been the result Of nine
wears of Radical rule-not in the con-
crete, it is true, but simply in the alb
stract; for there are thousand other
crimes and offenses which can and will
be laid at the door of that corrupt Re,
publican party when we reach another
political campaign. But those we have
enumerated in this article are sufficient
to make the hair Of our people stand on
end with fear and indignation, and cause
them to rise up and drive from the desc.
Grated temples of this once proud and
glorious Republic the corrupt money
changers and harlots who now revel
there.

STATE NEWS.

CRorS.-The prospect for wheat in
our valley are exceedingly good We
understand that Mr.. A. Ufierman, near
Coalsmouth, has large field of wheat
that has headed out and will be
ready to cut in short time. The fruit
prospects are not so fattering. Apples
will doubtless be good, but peaches will
prove nearly failure The gardens in
Charleston look very fine. A few
weeks will give us plenty of vegetables.

The Wear and Tear Of Bllsi-
ness Life.

The cares and labors of business life are
apt to tell severely upon the health and
constitution of the ardent, energetic bust
ness man, and when the need of some sus-
tanning agent is felt, stimuantS that cause
only II temporary cXlIilaratiOn, and leave
the system in q state of partial collapse
when their first effect has passed OIL, are too
often rcSortcd TO. AS certainly as fire leaves
behind il reSidium of ashes, the use of the
adulterated liquors of commerce produces
premature exhaustion and decay. Touch
them not. Tone and regulate the over
taxed vital machinery with HoStctter's
Stomach Bitters. In that wholesome elixir,
the alcoholic element, which is the pureSt
derivable from any source, il tempered by
the choicest tonic, aperient, anti-biliOuS and
anti-fcbrile vegetable extracts and juices.
To strengthen, recruit, SOlace and purify
the system is the mission OF the great vegc-
table specific. When the stomach is in q
healthy state, the bile flows regularly the
bowels perform their office properly, and
the telegraphic fibreS Of the nervous system
are in perfect working order, an enormous
amount of labor can be borne without risk
or Inconvenience and the direct effect Of
Bitters is to promote this vigorous condition
of the functions upon which the nOuriSh-
ment of the body, and its power of
endurance mainly depend. The great
tonic and Alternative is, therefore, emphat-
ically recommended for its remarkable
strengthening properties, to all upon whom
the responsibilities of life press heavily, and
who feel like fainting under the burthen.
\ lively appetite, q splendid digestion, elias
tic spirits, and q marvellous ability to with
stand fatigue, are among the blessings justly
aScribed to the renovating operation of this
palatable and powerful cordial, and rs q
spring and summer Alternative, there is moth
ing in the materia medica than can be COM
pared with II.

Summers Infamous Bill.

In speaking of the bill which SUMNER
has lust introduced into the Senate to
give negroes full scope in all our schools,
colleges, hotels, churches and GENE
teries, the Parkersburg Times, Repub-
lican, exclaims:
LET such law-making alone; else we
shall be compelled to pray TO Cod to
deliver us from such friends as Senator
Sumner"
If our friend of the Times has any
prayers to make on this subject we advise
him to make them now. SUMNER bill
is the natural and ineYitable result of
the Radical doctrine of negro equality.
Negro suffrage is negro everything else.

The German Vote.

A very sensible German writer in the
Parkersburg Times is opposed to the
formation of any German party in this
country at this time. He says:
"If every class, or element in tins
vast and Heterogeneous country were 10
resort to separate political organization
for particular purposes, what would be- ,
come of our great national questions
This is excellent sense. Let all Of our
German and Irish friends unite with
that party which is to expel from power
those corrupt cormorants who are now
eating out the very substance Of the
nation by taxation and plumber.

We understand that Il few days ago
a white man near Coalburgh struck a
black man with stone, for no provo
cation whatever. The black man was
employed on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad and the overseer of the hands
deliberately dubbed the said white man.
This conduct so enraged the white man
that he procured the services of some
fifty associates and at night moved on
Coalburgh to massacre the said over
seer. But the shrewdneSs Of the over
seer enabled him to escape This is
rather q bad state of affairs for
civilized country. Something should
be done.-CharLestop Jo,rneL
Yes, something should he done"
Such bad state of affairs never ex-
listed in this country before the Radical
revolutionists got into power If a
white man strikes negro it is terrible,
but, if a negro strikes white man, tits
all right.

The Government as ID Was and as
N H..

In no period Of our history up TO
1861 did the average expenditures Of
the Government Of the United States
amount to more than $Sj,000,0O0. 1t
never averaged the third of that sum. In
1910 MARTIN VAN buren, was defeated
for the Presidency because he had ex-
pended in one year So, 100000 The
war with Great Britain in 1872, the
Florida war and the Mexican war were
all fought during that time at what was
then considered pretty costly figures, but
at the close of the Democratic admins
tration of BUCHANAN in 1861, there was
only a small public debt resting upon
the Government, the treasury was in a
good condition, and our sources of ma
tional revenue confined exclusively to du-
ties on foreign imports. Direct taxa
ton was then unheard of in the
history of our Government, and to have
attempted TO take public money
directly out of the pockets of the people
would have occasioncd the immediate
expulsion OF every member Of Congress
from the halls of legislation.
Such was the healthy condition Of
things in the Government, and among
the people Of this country, while it was
under the control and direction of the
Democratic party, and when proper
reverence was paid the Constitution and
laws ofthe land Corruption prevailedin
no department Of the Government. In
vestigation committees in Congress to
ferret ont rogues were never heard of.
The honesty of a Senator or Member of
the House, Of either political party,
was never questioned by even the
breath of suspicion. Like CESARS
wife, they were all far above sus-
piciOn, because neither of the grand old
parties would tolerate political corrup-
ton or moral depravity in their repre-
sentative men. In fact these shining
characteristics Of the Republican party
had little existence then in the land
But the progress Of fanaticism
brought the Radical party into
power in 1861, and after an admins
trative career of nine wears, we ask the
honest masses of our people to observe
what terrible and disastrous revolu-
ton has taken place in the Constitution
of our fathers, in the laws of the land,
in the corruptions in and ont of Con
gress, IN the taxes on the people, in the
expenditures Of the Government. and in
the generalization of the times. We
are no longer a nation of white people,
but of mixed breeds with the negro on
top. The Constitution has become to
be waste paper which the party leaders in
power wind around their fingers as so
much gossamer. Our laws are despotic
and executed by the military. Every
department of the Government, from
Congress down to the tax collector, is
reeking with moral corruption and pub
lie dishonesty. The President himself
sells his offices to the highest bidders |
From tariff for revenue which used to |
defray all expenses of the Government,
we have high one for protection that
does not produce more revenue than
pays the interest ON the public debt.
