False pretenceS.

The vast and continually increasing sales
OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have pro-
voked the envy of certain class OF dealers
in various parts of the country, who are
trying TO substitute their utterly worthless
local nostrums for the most popular propri-
etary medicine in the world. These impos-
tors hope by their false statements to obtain
from the millions who patronize the great
American Tonic, sufficient number OF
customers TO make their specuIations upon
the health of their neighbors profitable.
AS the demand for Hostetters Bitters is
now so large and urgent as TO tax TO their
fullest extent the facilities for its manufac-
ture, these petty attempts to wiring in the
merest trash by false representations, are of
little consequence TO its proprietors. They
lied. II, for example, at this warm season,
when real invigorant is greatly needed.
the sufferer from general debility, indiges-
ton, biliousneSs or nervous weakness, IS
coaxed into using wishy-washy com.
pound without any medicinal virtue, in
stead of the sovereign specific in which the
the rarest tonic and Alternative vegetable
elements are scientifically combined, il Is
obvious that he will rue the day when he
allowed himself to be thus deluded. II is

The Flick Amendments.

The Parkersburg Gazette publishes
he second section of article twelfth Of
the Constitution, showing the manner
in which amendments may be made,
and the necessity for publication at
least three months before the election,
aud says
Has this publication been made ?
The Wheeling Ante!2iga,ctr claims that
it has. We hope 1t is true, but the fact
that the question has been raised, is by
no means complimentary TO the present
executive officers OF our State. Ii looks
bad that the Governor OF the State has
70 have his attention called to Il consti-
tutional provision i'll regard TO 4 meas
ure so much discussed as the proposed
amendment 10 the Constitution. Our
Governor must have been either iguo-
rant of the requirements of section Il,
Art XII, of the Constitution, or inten
tionally attempted 10 defraud the people
out of the proposed amendment
Which is il? We would like to
know which horn Of the dilemma ne
chooses.

The National Road Again.

II now seems that in our remarks
las, Tuesday mornin" concerning Ma
tioual Road affairs, We failed 10 attach
10 the Governor and other members of
the Board of Public Works az much
responsibility for the mismanagement
which has been complained Of a. was
Justly their due We are informed that
many OF the acts on which complaint
against the Superintendent, Mr.. FERREL,
was founded, were really ord.rcd bv tie
Board: and when FERREL was ar
raigned for these things the Governor
had the meanncss to permit him to re-
main under the Odim Of the charges
and would make no public statement OF
the case. To this dav. the Board OF
Public Works has not announced its
decision openly, but has tacitly permit
ted the impression to 60 abroad that
FERREL was guilty.
All The circumstances OF this affair
exhibit moral cowardicc on the par,
of Governor STEVENSON which utterly
units him for the office he hold. He
has not had the courage TO assume re-
sponsibility for his own acts, but per-
mits his agent TO lie under public cen
sure without one word To lift the burden
of popular condemnation. Is this either
generous or just? Is it worthy OF the
character of Governor of the State.

Seeing your liberality III publishing
letters of interest from all parts OF the
State, hope am not transgrcssing if
| should venture to inform your readers
in my humble way of how things are
progressing in this section, and | viii
ay that the letters from the people
which appear in your columns from
time to time, are interesting and iDsruc-
tive, and highly appreciated by Your
country readers, and would like +" see
them more general.
Our harvest is virtually over and nj.
ter careful survey OF the field, ! am
warranted in saving that this section Of
the State has been abundautly blessed
with fine crops Wheat was lar above
an average crop, in quantity and quail

oldest inhahitant.'
Grass was never better a. evidenced
bv the increased number of hay stacks
on every meadow, and the prospect of
an unheard of yield of corn is splendid;
in fact, vegetation OF every kind brings
forth nothing but smiles from the hon
est workers of the soil.
But it seems while we are blessed by
q kind Providence with the necessaries
and comforts of life without stint. We
continue to be cursed almost past endur-
ance by a miserable mammon serving
government, and swarms of carrion
Office holders and collectors, eating out
the substance Of the people, and wrest-
ing from them their hard earned money
retaining for their own precious servi-
ces the lions share Any tax, how
ever light, is oppressive upon farmers
in these hard times, but when men are
made to groan under taxation for the
purpose OF party ACCOMPLISHMENT and
negro SupIGNldNI anu l'I thc support
of thieves, plundercrs, niggers and
Radicals, it is simply outrageous. and
should not be borne by liberty loving
and chivalrous people.
The right feeling seems to have taken
hold of the people here this campaign,
and spirit of Registration prevails to
an alarming extent Ito Radicals, and
YOU may expect to hear OF a largely in
creased vote in this county, and conse-
quently an Overwhelming Democratic

everybody wants an office, and capdi-
dates for the votes of the dear people
are multiplying daily.
Our little village proposes to he repre-

send for the Soldiers.

The registrars throughout the State
are being 'intimidated' into the proper
discharge of their duty pretty cffectu,
ally. In nearly every county where
they refuse to obey the law they are
being taught their duty in Il short,
sharp and decisive" manner. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest Of two
Of these gentry in Kanawha county,
and the same persuasive influence will
certainly be applied in every refractory
case. One Of the Kanawha cases arose
from the refusal OF the registrar 10 re-
cord the name Of Young man on the
ground that he had sympathi4cd with
his father who was in the Confederate
army during the first year OF the war,
the boy being at that time only twelve
years of age
In view OF the determination the
Democrats are showing to compel the
registrars to obey the law, the Morgan
town Posi- suggests that soldiers he
sgain sent to Marion County where 4
couple of arrests were made last week.
If Colonel KIRK and hi- Tennessee
maradders cold be imported from North
Carolina where they have just concluG-
ed brilliant engagement, how it would
delight the Post and ''the loil heart
generally? The Democracy expect TO
carry the State this fall at any rate.

German instruction.

At THE LAST REGULAR MEETING

IL was resolved that whenever, in any
township of the District Of Wheeling. fifty
or more pupils belonging 10 the Grnmmar
and Intermediate schools shall signify,
through their parents or guardians, desire
To study the German language, provision
shall be made for their instruction in said
language.
In order that ii may I've known in due
time. In which VI the schools II Will be
necessary TO provide for German instruc-
ton, the Committee request those parents
or guardians who desire TO have their chill
dren or wards instructed in the German
language In the public schools 10 give in

respective townships, on or before Thurs

The Democratic Executive GommiRee
n Richie county issues an excellent
address to the voters OF the county,
which we find in the Parkersburg
Gazette. We regret, however, that they
concluded not to hold any County Con-
vention or nominate any county ticket
because of the fact that they have
been heretofore in the minority in that
county. We believe that this Is not
judieious policy, 4 party viii always
remain in the minority if II holds no
Conventions, puts up no ticket OF Its
own and makes no effort for success.
There is great virtue in 'pegging away.
| No matter how formidable The obSta-
clcs may be, no matter how Tar
in the minority the party may
have been, it is always best to
make good light. II we can't elect
our, candidates in Richie and some OF
the other counties in the State, let Us al
least "gothrough the motions sasif We
knew that success was within Oh
reach, and by continued reach
ing forth We will vet: grasp the
prize. Beside this, the nomination o.
a county ticket even where its defeat is
certain will help largely to bring out the
vote for the State candidates. Every
man on the ticket will feel anxious tc
poll as large a vote as possible and will
be an active, because interested, worker
in getting voters to the polls We feal
that where the State ticket alone is tc
be supported, the vote polled will he
comparatively light. Ia
But We hope our friends in Richie
and other counties under Radical domi
nation will put forth their best effort:
this fall, Our. prospects OF complete
suees Aerey never before 80 good
The signs of the times are full Of en-
couragement. The tide of public senti
ment is setting strongly in our favor
and with a strong and united effort w
will succeed this fall in redeeming III,
State from the curse of Radicalism

Hunt Up the Unregistered.

Do our readers realize that only II
lew more days are left for registration
There are many men in this and other
counties of the State who will vote rhe
Democratic ticket but are not vet reg
istered. We presume that tn" various
candidates themselves are lcvoting
some attention to this matter. If they
are not, they should be. But it is a
matter in which every Democrat has
an interest. Take particular pains to
enquire of your neighbor whether he
has been registered. If you find any

there are many such, urge them to have

DIR. ). L. HARTMAN d Co--GENTs: one
week ago to-day, was taken with an at
tack OF Cholera morbus; the vomiting and
puging was most excessive, and accom-
panied by intolerable cramps. My family
became alarmed, and sent Tor Dr. but
he was not at home, and the nearest other
physician being three miles of, IL was con-
cludod To procure a bottle of MlSHLERS
HERB BI1TERS. My wife gave our boy
one dollar. and bidding him make haste
despatched him TO the nearest druggist,
MessrS. Kaufman & Bros. He returned,
and according to the directions on the bot
tic took a wineglassful immediately, and
repeated the dose every fifteen minutes for
three-quarters OF an hour, and astonishing
as 1t may seem, il stopped all discharges
and cramp like magic. You cannot believe
how grateful / feel to you for this potent
remedy. one dollar cured me, and am
satisfied that had the doctor been at home
II would have cost me not less than five
dollars Yours Respectfully,
