LAUGHLIN.s INFANT CORDIAL.
Conquered at Last.

An unhealthy system is generally pro-
duced by an unhealthy stomach, and the
latter is a sure indication of poor digestion.
When digestion Is bad, every part of the en-
tire system must necessarily suffer, and the
mind itself shows the effects of II in the low
spirits of the patient. Indigestion is the
parent of a thousand understandable miSerirs
all symptoms of worse disorders yet to
come. The premonitory indications of that
terror of our race-Dyspepsia-eyery one
knows. Now, why suffer the penalties of
delay, when by the use of MISHLERS
HERB BITTERS not only immediate relief
but positive and permanent cure can be re-
allied. This celebrated Household Remedy
is an lnfallible remedy for all diseases aris-
ing from a disordered stomach and will
eradicate them. Be reasonable with your

away your pharmacopeia prescriptions

The Life Sustaining Organs.

The two organs which minister most
directly TO the support of the body, are the
stomach and liver In the former, the first
process Of digestion takes place, under the
action of that powerful solvent, the gastric
juice. Thence the food, converted into n
pulp, passes into the duodenum, where II is
subjected TO the action OF the bile or gall.
flowing from the liver, and of the fluid gen.
Grated by the pancreas, or sweetbread Of the
system. These secretions separate the nu-
tritious portion from the rest, and IL is then
taken up by the absorbent vessels and con-
veyed into the channels of circulation in
the form of venous blood, while the waste
matter is discharged through the bowels.
Unless all these processes are duly perform
ed, disease of some sort is inevitable, and
the best Of all medicinal agents for preserv-
ing or restoring the tone and regulating the
action of the three organs-(the stomach,
liver and intestines)-by which the three
fold work Is carried on, is Hostetter's
stomach Bitters. Indigestion is generally
gentle cathartic operation of the Bitters Is
no less important in cases of this kind, than
its tonic effect upon the stomach and the
hillary gland. Beauty OF person as well rs

sallow complexion, a thick, opaque, coarse
skin, n tainted breath, rush OF blood TO the
head, loss Of memory, headache and ex-
IRENE mental depression, are the usual
accomplishments of costiveuess. A course
of the Bitters will infallibly relieve
and finally Danish these obnoxiuus symp-
toms, while invigorating the stomach and
promoting healthy action in the liver. This
genial vegetable stomachic and Alternative
strikes at disease in its primary sources, as

Public PIunder.

| The New York Journal Of C0mmGcT
says Our Washington correspondent
tells of startling developments about to
he made OF gigantic revenue fraudS-the
| figures are millions-in which govern
ment officers are concerned Revenue
officials, East, West and South, are I'M
plicated in them, showing remarkable
agreement ,of rascality among that
family of public parasite wherever
found New Orleans supplies the par
ticulars of one series of swindles amount
ing to 100000 and New York those
OF another of 81 100000 and more.
The corruptions of the Government
have grown so enormous in the last ten
years, and the public mind has become
so habituated to them, that any farther
disclosure will hardly do more than
excite the passing notice OF the multi
tude. Plumber is the leading feature in
the Government of our country, and it
extends now to ring of organized
thieves both in and ont Of Congress
In all departments of the Government,
we have no sort of doubt that the
annual stcalage and plumber from the
legitimate revenues and public lands
Of the treasury, amounts to five times
more than the annual expenditures of
the Government and taxes upon the peo-
pie ever amounted to during any Dem
ocratic administration in time OF peace,
or perhaps of war. The public lands,
which used to be source of revenue
to the country andan extensive field for
the poor emigrant who might choose to
settle on them AT nominal prices, has
become now 4 sort of gold-mind ont OF
which Congress, andlobyists, and specu-
lators steal untold millions every year;
and every department Of the revenue
and the contract system has been re-
duced TO a source Of stupcndous rob
berry Of which half has not yet been
told to the public. Perhaps as the
burden OF taxation continues to press
harder and harder upon the pockets of
the people, and their resources OF wealth
and means begin to deminish BY the
lightness of the times, they may be
aroused before long to the alarming
character OF the situation, and be in
duced to expel from power the party
which originated and fostered this ire
mendous system of public plumber.

The Convention and its work.

The Democratic and Conservative
Convention has done its work and done
it well. 1t has given us strong ticket
and clean platform. The nominations
are such as must commend themselves
to the favor OF all men who have the
interests of the State at heart. Mr..
Jacob, our Gubernatorial Homlnee, has
all the elements necessary to make
successful campaigner and an efficient
Governor. He is resident of
Hampshire county, lawyer by
profession, and stands at the
head of the bar of his section Of
the State. lie has had considerable ex-
experience in public affairs, knows the
wants of the people and will give them
the most careful attention. Above all
his political record is without a flaw,
while his private character is pure
and irreproachable. Under all the cir
cumstances we regard his nomination
as a most judicious step, and have serl-
Gus doubts if better selection could
possibly have been made.
The balance of the ticket is fully up
to the highest standard of fitness and
availability. We regret to be unable,
in the haste of preparing this issue, to
speak of the other candidates in detail.
1t will be noticed that our nominee
for Secretary OF. State, Hon. John NJ.
Phelps, represents the liberal Republi-
can element who now cooperate with
the Democratic party in State matters,
or who propose to do so. The charge
made against the Democrats that they
are unwilling to share the honors with
any but original and constant Demo
Gratis is thus effectually disposed of.
Every element cooperating with the
Democracy against prescription will re
ceive that fair recognition which it
deserves.
OF the platform we shall speak at
length hereafter. Let it now suffice to
say that it is one upon which all who
aim at the true interests Of the State can
cordially unite and act.
The Conventions work now goes be-
fore the people for their consideration.
That it will receive their hearty APP
prevail we cannot have the slightest
doubt

4 Divorced Wife and Husband Marry
Again aftera Separation of Thirty
three years.

A correspondent from Garrettsville
furnishes the Portage County Democrat
with the following romantic story,
which is of relishaLle interest. The
family name of the parties alluded TO is
French
A story of real life, is shrouded some
what in romance, runneth in this wise !:
About thirty-three years ago young
lady, about fifteen years OF age, beauti-
FIJI and accomplished, but specially
noted for her musical talent, for she
could sing like a bird, was wooed and
won by a mechanic, who was also a
noted singer The union did not prove
harmonious, and after an existence Of
about six months, the young wife re-
turned to her parental roof for support
and protection. 4 committee was
selected to confer with the estranging
parties One of the committeeman was
Hon. D. r. Tilden, of Cleveland The
committee effected nothing in the way
of reconciliation The husband went
his way. A divorce was obtained, but
have not been advised which was the
complaining party A son was born,
in whom the pride of the mother was
centered more and more, as he grew
from infancy to childhood, and from
childhood to manhood, for she was in
him rewarded more than mothers often
are. The father married again and
reared family OF children. His name
often appears in print, for he is an
author of music and singer of note.
More than thirty years have dragged
their crooked lengths along and disap-
peared behind eternity's wells. During
all this time, ] believe the actors of
this drama met not but strange things do
happen. The second wife sickened and
died; after a while the husband sicken-
ed and as he lay on his bed, uncertain
ofthe future, memory called to the past
in long review; some little wrongs may
have tingled his conscience-at all
events, he longed to see her, around
whose life he had wantonly wrapped
the dark mantle Efforts were made
to get her by his bedside; they were sue
cessful; reconciliation was effected,
and she administered to him during his
indisposition. When sufficiently con-
valescent, together they visited her old
home, kindly words were spoken, the
dark past forgotten, assurance of fealty
in the future made, and again the hand |
was promised Last night, MAY 5, they
were married-the life journey, so early |
begun, so soon disconnected, was com (
menced anew.

An entirely correct copy ofathe DEM
ocratic and Conservative platform
adopted by the State Convention at
Charleston willbe found in our col
umns this morning. 1t is sound in all
its parts and gives forth the ring of the
true metal. 1t meets the Issues OF this
campaign fully, fairly and unequivo-
cally, and arraigns the Republican
party of the State and of the country
for the great crime they have committed
against the Constitution of the Union
and the peace, good order and happl-
ness Of the people Upon this platform
the Democrats and Conservatives OF the
State go before the people upon the
stump and in the press with their full
armor and bnokler on, and challenge
fair and open combat from the apollo
gists and parasites of the corrupt party
that now rules the country, plumbers the
people and tramples upc"constitntlonal
liberty.

dividual was elected Mayor, a negro
acted as clerk and the only white man
voting was JOE CALDWELL, for himself
JAvIN HOLMES, JORDAN DAVIS, JAMES
Cox and STEPHEN GARDNER (all ne

called on Mayor HOLMES on Monday
for the books of his Office, and HOLMES
gave him one with the promise to re-
turn it, but JOE refused to return it, and
HOLMES refused to give him any more.
After many words HOLMES told him the
sooner he got out of his presence the
better it would be for his carcass JOE
got out. The matter between the two
contending Mayors will now 60 before

A TOUCHING SCENE is thus related by
Lafayette, Indiana, paper, as having
occurred during the recent decoration
ceremonies in that city So
n "Ahttle girl entered the ceinetery car
ryinc wreaths Of beautiful flowers, and
FASTENED to the side where the Confed-
crate dead lay, and proceeded to placea
wreath on each grave. A friend of
hers approached her, saying: "But,
Susie, those are the rebels graves
She replied ayes, | know it, but my
pa was soldier and died in Libby
prison, and is buried down South; l
so much hope some little girls there
will strew flowers on his grave. ]
thought | would bring these and put
them on the rebels graves. MAY tie
some of them have little girls at home
Won know
We can tell that little girl who made
this touching reply, and her friend, a
fact which we know, that on memorial
occasions in the South the women and
the children while walking among the
tombs of the dead Confederates to strew
flowers on their graves, never pass the
grave of Federal soldier without pay
ing its silent occupant the same honor
and respect. II Would be inhuman for
them to do otherwise, for all human
animosities that do not end at the grave
will be very apt to end at a much
warmer place beyond that earthly
portal. Confederate soldiers fought
honestly for what they believed to be
right, and Federal soldiers did the same
thing, and now that the conflict is
ended Cor ought To be ended), there is
not an honest Federal or an honest
Confederate who cannot and do not,
when they meet, shake hands of friend,
ship and frequently talk with melan'
choly pleasure over the bloody conflicts
and scenes through which they passed
in the war. And if the living can dc
these things, would it not require dis
ordered mind or a heart of stone to pass
by the grave Of a dead Federal oil
a dead Confederate with any other
feeling than human sympathy and re-
gret for the silent sleeper beneath the
cod? These dead cannot give to the
passers by their hands or their smiles
or their tears but has any one who
believes in spirit-land any doubt that,
in the other world, Federal and COnfed
crate soldiers who are "men made
perfect" mingle together in spiritual
communion as the living do on the
earth? No gun is sounded there, non
battle-cry heard nor sectional animosi
ty INDUCED, even among those gallant
spirits that went down in deadly strife
on the same battlefield
1t is not the soldiers on either side
who keep open and bleeding the national
wounds OF the war, and turn these dead
issues to effect. 1t is the mean politi-
clans who do this dirty business to
preserve their power, that they may
continue to prey upon. the treasury OF
the people and the liberties of the ma
ton, and they should be Stunned as we
would shun a lepcr in the streets or a
simeon in the desert.

The Charleston Democratic State
Convention has done its work, and dcne
it well. The ticket selected, and which
we give below, is composed of men
against whose personal character the
most bitter opponent cannot say one
word. We have not the time nor space
this week to comment further on the
selection of the Convention. We hope
Democracy all over the State
will echo the hearty enthusiasm which
greeted the nomination of Mr..
Jacob, and 90 to work in earnest
for his election. Mr. Camden's name
was presented TO the Convention, but
WAS Immediately withdrawn, and Mr..
Davis refused to allow his name to be
presented by his friends. Both these
gentlemen, with all their friends, were
heartily in favor of Mr.. Jacob, and the
welkin rang with prestige Of victory
when his name was announced, The
friends Of Mr.. Hall, as a compliment tc
that gentleman, placed his name before
the Convention, but on the first ballot
Mr.. Jacob received three-fourths Of the
votes cast, and he was at once declared
the unanimous choice OF the COnven

A Dangerous Movement.

4 negro movement in favor OF uniting
politics and religion has been started in
New Orleans. Twenty colored D. D. s
have issued a political circular to the
Christian Republicans Of Louisiana in
which they unfold the new plan Of
"clerico-political" action They have
determined TO make the selection Of
candidates a church matter, each con-
gregation appointing committee to
meet once week, as "a religious duty,
though the Church reserves to itself
the right to approve or reject nomina-
ted candidates" The spirit OF this new
religious move may be understood by
the following significant extract from
their resolutions: I'VE look with pain
and indignation on the tendency to en-
clude men from office on account of
color, aud we here denOunce as anti
Republican and unjust any efforts to
discriminate between men on account
of race. We pledge ourselves to make
this prominent feature in the coming
campaign"
They who know anything OF the ne
gro character will see at once the re-
suits TO which this state of things prom
ises to lead 1t is always bad even for
the white race TO mix politics and re-
hgion in any degree whatever, but when
race so superstitiOus as the negro
and so inflated just at this time with
the absurd notion Of political and social
equality which a sudden revolution in
their condition has occasioned, it is
obliged to result in the most serious
consequences to both races and to the
country. Any shrewd demagc que or
knave in politics, or any hypocrit in re-
igion, can win the confidence and
poison the mind of the colored race to
a remarkable degree, and when once
their religious sentiments and feelings
are touched by the wand of the politi-
cal magician, wherever they exist in
large numbers they can be diverted into
the most dangerous extremes, and made
the instrument Of social and political
evils at which all humanity would
shudder. Hence the formation Of
these politico religious associations in
the South or elsewhere are of the most
evil tendency, and are to be deprecated
by all good men of any party or creed;
for bad and designing men will control
and direct them until like a magazine
OF powder when touched by match
they will explode to the injury of every
thing within their circumference.
