NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
A Body ana Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain
are too intimately allied for the to suffer with
out the other, 50 that dyspepsia and dependency
are inseparabe. may be added, too, that irrita-
ton OF the stomach is almost invariably accompa-
MED by irritation of the temper.
The inyigorating and tranquilHzing operation of
Hostetters Biters is most powerfully developed in
cases of indigestion The first effect of this agree
able tonic is comforting and encouraging. mild
glow pervades the system, the chronic uneasiness
in the region Of the stomach is lessened, and the
nervous restlessness which characterizes the dis
ease Is sbated. This improvement is not transient
1t Is not succeeded by the return of the old symp-
toms with superadded force, as is always the case
when unmedicated stimulants are given for the
complaint. Each dose seems to impart perma-
nent accession of healthfu inauguration. But this
Is not all The aperient and anti-bihous properties
OF the preparation are scarcely secondary in i'm
portance to its tonic virtues. If there is over
OF bile the secretion is soon brought within
proper limits, and if the bileary organ inert and
torpid it is toned and regulated The effect upon
the discharging organs is equally sanitary, and In
cases Of constipation the cathartc action is just
sufficient to produce the desired result gradually
and without pain. The Bitters also promote healthy
evaporation from the surface which is particularly
desirable at this season when sudden spells of raw,
unpleasant weather apt to check the natural
perspiration and produce congestion of the liver
coughs and colds. The best safeguard against all
diseases is bodily vigor and this the great vegeta
BILE Restorative essentially promotes.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says

We observe that the Nashville UNION is
quoting facts and constitutional preCedents
and principles against the proposed Con-
gressional reconstruction" of Tennessee.
The UNIoN's labors, we fear, will prove
Intellectual, if they may not be called SUI
pererogatoly. They do not reach what,
to the minds of the Radical majority in
Congress, is the essential point involved.
There may, indeed, be neither reason,
Justice or constitutional law on the side of
the revolutionary proposition; but Radical
ism demands the control of the State, and
there are fifty thousand bayonets avail
able to back the demand whenever Grant
and Congress conclude to enforce it.
"Sire, " exclaimed an unlucky courtier to
the half-crazy Prussian King, sit is quite
impossible to argue with a Sovereign who
wears sush very heavy boots. y The most
luminous exposition of constitutional law
ard common sense, we fear, will be found
equally incapable of resisting the pOten
tial logic of Major General and brigad
or two of Federal troops. Your imam on
horseback" will not hesitate, when his
masters occasion requires, to ruthlessly
ride down whole legions of bristling syl-
logism.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION
The Chicago Times says

'The subject of free voting, by which
every political party would be represented
in the Legislature, in proportion to its
numbers, is attracting attention in Ten
nessee. A request has been sent TO this
city for documentary information upon
the subject. It Is not improbable that
the free vote will furnish the complete and
satisfactory solution of the veXed fran
chise question, not only in Tennessee, but
in every Southern State.
at is one of the strongest recommends
tions of the free vote that it is not'com-
plicated. 1t is in every respect as simple,
and as easily understood, as the existing
method of voting. 1t differs from the ex
listing method in no respect but in re-
moving the limitation which now COM
peIs every voter to distribute his votes to
as many persons as there are vacancies 20
be filled, and thus enables the party which
happens to have the majority of voters to
fill all of them, instead of filling only the
majority to which it is entitled.

New York has reScinded its ratification
Of the amendment. To this objection is
taken by the Radicals. The Freema'a'S
Journal puts the right of the Legislature
under the circumstances to rescind, in
forcible manner. 1t says the popular
phrase of State ratifying an amendment
to the Federal Constitution, is not correct.
Each State votes for, or against, the rati-
iication. But no State can ratify Fed
al agreement of compact. The ratifica-
ton is the result of the joint action of
given number of States, and proclaimed
by a Federal agency. The acts of the
several States, so far, have, therefore,
been only Uotes, and not ratifying acts.
If the necessary number of States do not
vote "aye," on any proposed amendment,
or if the Federal Executive fails to pro-
claim the result, it is not completed COM
pact. tits, on the part of each State, sim
pie Vote and according to parliamentary
rule, till the result of the vote is declared,
it is free for any State, as, in Legisla-
tive body, for any member to change his
vote. This is too clear TO be disputed,
and this is enough to rule and settle the
case, regarding the present action of New
York State.
The ratification by Indiana was by less
than a quorum of each house of the
Legislature of that State, but that will moi
invalidate its action in Radical estimation,
and Mr.. Fish will count it as good when
ever the consent of the twenty-eight
States necessary to complete the work is
secured. The Ohio Legislature has rati
fed the amendment Notwithstanding &
previous Legislature had rejected it. This
will be counted a good ratification, while
New York is not allowed in like matter tC
reverse its action. Virginia and Missis
sippi are not yet, according TO Radica
theory, full grown States, and in logica
consistency, these two States ought no
to be counted as having any voice in the
matter until they are States, but as, undel
Radical rule, we have left the do
main of consistency, as well as OF
constitutionality, it is safe to pre-
dict that these inchoate States, as well
as Texas and Georgia, both of which art
precisely in the same condition of state
hood as Virginia and Texas, and are re
quired to ratify the amendment precedent
to the admission of their Senators anC
Representatives, will be counted and hello
by Secretary Fish as having legally giveI
! their assent to the amendment. The
Governor of Nebraska while in Washing
ton a few days ago, promised the friends
of the amendment TO convene the Legis
lature Of that State in extraordinary SEES
sion in a few days to ratify the amend
ment, which will be done, we have nc
doubt. In view of these facts, we may
consider the fifteenth amendment an &C
complished thing.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Chronicle says "the President
and cabinet are considerably exercised
concerning a speech Of Representative
Dawes charging the administration with
extravaganza and prodigality in their est.
mates for the next fiscal year" The cor.
respondent says sit will be officially shown
that the excess of forty-nine million asked
for was inaugurated by Congress for the
completion of improvements and the lcgis-
lation enacted by the last Congress. It
is not denied that this extravaganza is
chargcable to the Radicals.

VIOLATION OF THE GEORGIA


The law of Congress authorizing the
reconstruction of Georgia, contains this
provision:
'If any person shall hinder any person
elected as aforesaid from taking the oath,
or after taking the oath, from participat-
ing in the proceedings of either House,
he can be tried for q felony in the Fed
eral Court.
The st. Louis RlpUblicuH calls the at
tention of Congress TO the violation #
this provision, and invoices the punish
mcnt of the offenders That paper says:
Gov. Bullock and Gen. Terry have both
trampled on this provision. They have
bindered its members from participating
in its proceedings, by requiring them to
stand trials before military commission
strange to our laws They have threat
ened members with prosecutions for per
Jury, and assumed to purge the Houses Of
thcirincligible members, instead of leaving
tina. duty and right TO each House itself
The Georgia bill provided no tribunal TO
test members right to a seat, II left the
matter where. of right, it should be left, in
the forum Of each members conscience,
with a mcnaccd penalty to him who
should take the oath falsely, and with the
right of each house TO judge OF the quail
fcations of lis members. General Terry S
sDecfal officers commission, organized 10
trv the right of members TO their seats, is,
therefore, not only an usurpation, but a
farrant and most extraordinary violation
Of a law fresh from the hands of Con
rrcss: and as General Terry can do moth
ing without the approval of the President,
it would appear that the President himself
is at least constructive participant in
this violation of an act which he signed
only few weeks ago. If the whole
scheme of reconstruction laws were not
framed 10 be obeyed by their victims, and
disrcgardad by their cXccu'ioners, this
breach of the Georgia bill would provoke
its instant resentment"
