The Living Machine

Injure the main spring of a watch and every por-
ton of the works becomes disordered. The human
stomach is to the human system what that elastic
piece of metal is to the chronometer. 1t influences
the action of the other organs, and controls to
certain extent, the whole living machihe The
comparison may be carried further: for as the
weakness or other mperfectiOns of the main spring
are indicated on the face of tc timepece also is
the weakness orother Disorder of the stomach be-
trayed by the face of the invalid. Thecomplexion
is sallow faded, the eyes deficient in lustre
and intelligence, and there is a worn, anxious
preston in the whole countenance, which tells as
plainly as written words could do, that the great
nourishing organ whose Office it is to minister to
the wants of the body, and TO sustain and renew all
its parts, is not performing its duty. 1t requires
renovating and regulating, and to accomplish this
end Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly said
to be the one thing needfuL The broken main
spring Of a watch may be replaced by new one,
but the stomach only be repaired aud strength
ened and this is one of the objects Of the famous
vegetable restorative which for eighteen years has
been wagirg a successful contest with dyspepsia in
all climates. AS specific for indigestion it stands
alone. When the resources Of the pharmacBpia
haze been exhausted, without Ut best, doing more
than mitigating the complaint, a course of this
wholesome and palstable, yet powerful stomachic,
effects perfect and permanent cure. In al cases
IF dyspepsia the lveftfs more or less disOrdered,
and upon this important gland, well as upon the
stomach and bowels, the bitters act with singular
distinctness, regulating and reinvigorating every
secretiye and assimilating organ. on which bodily
and mental health depends. jan8-deOdlw4Wt

GRANT appears determined 10 do at
least one decent thing. The Hon. James
NJ. Cayanaugh, delegate from Montana
Territory, called on the President to-day
in reference to the appointment of Gov
ernor for that Territory. Mr.. Cavanaugh
stated that he did not expect such an ap-
pointment TO be made as would be pre-
ferred by the Democracy, but that the
people of Montana, without distinction of
party, objected to the present Governor,
Mr.. Ashley; they would prefer a cit
izen of their own Territory; but
he believed that Gen. Potts, whose
name had been sent in 70 the
Senate in Ashley's place, would be very
acceptable to the people. When Mr..
Cavanaugh referred to the statement in
Forney's Press that Potts name would be
withdrawn, the President stated emphati-
callyIhat he had never thought of with
drawing Gen. Potts name, that the ru-
mors inthe papers were not true, and that
Ashley must go unless the Senate should
reject Gen. Potts, which he deemed hard
" possible. This would seem to settle
the fate of Ashley, who has been making
. vigorous effort to save his official head.

New York World writesihat the Judges
of the Supreme Court are busy preparing
decisions in various important casss,
which have been long pending Before
them; and these decisions may be ex-
pected at an early day. 1t is believed tina
the question of the Missouri Test oath,
presented by Gen. Frank P. Blair,
which was argued a year ago, will now be
decided, If the principles of the opinion
ofo the court in Garland's and in Cum
mingss, cases, delivered by Mr.. Justice
Field, be carried out to their
logical result the Missouri test

iona! This will restore TO Tie right of

sand persons in Missouri, twenty-five
thousand in West Virginia, and a great
many in the other States. Other import

are the questions of the legal-tender act,

RApIcAL rlNANcIERrNc.

The impression has been deeply made
in some portions of the United States that
bondhoiders have rights which are supe-
rior to the ri htsof all other classes in the
community, and that when the right of
the bondholder and the right of the ordi-
nary citizen come in conflict, the latter
must give way, instantly and without
question To refuse to do sofs repudid-
ton We have used the word ''rightn in
IFS general acceptation rather than in its
TECHNICAL sense. To this discrimination
against the many, in favor of the few, ives
beg most emphatically to dissent.
This is the fruit of Radical legislation.
These modern economists, political phi
losophers and Statesmen seem to regard
the bondholder as the nations ward,
whose interest must be maintained and
protected, sat all hazards and to the last
extremity A recent evidence of this
disposition we have just Received by
telegram from WashingtQ: ''Senator
Williams, of the Finance Committeeswill
soon introduce into the Senate joint res,
61ution authorizing and requiring the Sec
Rotary of the Treasury, at the option of
lsthe holder, to redeem at the Treasury of
theC United States, or the Office Of the Ass
sistant Treasurer in New York, green
backs at the rate of one dollar in gold for
one dollar and twenty cents in Treasury
notes"
If this is not legislation for the people
/ with vengeance, then we are mistaken
in our ideas of VENGEANCE. What is 4
"greenback''? If you have one in your
| rocket, take it out and read for yourself.
II is promise of the UNITED STATES to
| pay to thebearer 49, dollars. 1t is "a
legal tender for all debts public and
prtUdte, except duties on imports and in
terest on the public debt and is receiv-
able in payment of all loans made to the
United States" 1t is the poor mans
bond. II bears no interest, either an
gold or currency, and is not exempt
from tardt;oR. 1t may be redeemed,
says Senator Williams, in gold, if
the holder of the greenback will
pay twenty per cent premium for
the gold. Thanks to Senator Williams.
I Very small thanks. What does the 6ena-
tor and his party say. about those other
honds-the bondholder's bonds? They
are exempt from taxation. They are pay
able in gold, principal and interest, with
on any 20 per cent. premium. If the
holders of these bonds do not present
them promptly the Secretary of the Treas
goes into the market and pays a premium
for them. This is the difference made in
Radical legislation. This is the distinc-
ton drawn between the poor mans
bond and the bondholder's bond. This is
carrying out the doctrine: "Unto every
one that hath shall be given, and he shall
have abundance: but from him that hath
not shall be taken away even that which
he hath But Senator Williams has high
authority for his proposition to shave the
poor mans bond at the rate of twenty pei
cent nearly, for is it not all written in the

FAILURES LIST YEAR.

The New York Mercantile Agency has
issued circular giving statement OF the
failures and the amount of liabilities in
each State reported during the year 1869,
compared with those of 1868. The totaI
number of failures last year was 2, 799,
against 3, COS in 1868 and the aggregate
liabilities were $75, O54, 900, against $63,-
ia, 900 the previous year. The failures
in Tennessee in 1868 We're AZ, for 81, $685.
900; in 1869, there were Is, for 1878, 900.
This is very favorable showing for our
State. The agency reports that during
the year the trade with the South has not
only largely increased in volume but
has become profitable, safe and salts
factory. The substantial results achieved
in the South in 1869 are full of
promise for the whole country for
the future. The business of the year
elsewhere, it is observed, has not yielded
anything like fair return, in view of the
capital employed, the volume and extent
of trade done, or the capacity engaged.
But while there has not been a universal
profit, and while there has been loss i'll
many instances, the disasters of the year
have not been nearly as great as might be
anticipated. The failures of 1869 have
not been excessive, neither in number,
nor amount, in view of the dullness of
trade, the depression existing the greater
part of the year, and above all the large
depreciation in values, which the year has
witnessed. 1t is remarked in the circular
that the unpaid obligations of those who
failed, in proportion TO the volume of
trade and TO the capital now employed in
business, form per centage far less than
in any ante-war year subsequent to 1850;
so that, instead of creating alarm as to the
present, or distrust as to the future, the
failures of 1869 indicate strength and
stability at once gratifying and assuring.
The New York World says: 1t VIII
be pertinent to recall several very notable
incidents of business in the year just
closed. The small towns complain of
being choked to death with an ovcrplus of
retailers. In the, larger cities, especially
THIS metropolis, during 1869, remarka-
BILE number of persons retired from bust
ness. Those who succumbed before
stringency or competition in New York
exceeded the number of any former year.
The smaller dealers or the not firmly
based wholesale dealers yielded place
TO the mammoth houses 10 a great ex
tent The people at large are interested
in getting the best articles at the lowest
prices That the great houses can under
sell the small may be hard on the latter,
but it is of too great general advantage to
be balanced against cases of private dam
age. 1t would seem that many of these
suppressed dealers have betaken them
selves to the smaller towns, which exhibit
ridiculous overplus of stores. They
may flee far and often, but they win not
get beyond the law of trade and its CO.
rOllary of consolidation. Where they
now are they are approving its principles
by becoming its victims.

MFRS. AUGUSTA EVANS WILSON.

On Saturday we learned through a nil-

Wilson, formerly Miss Augusta ]. Evans,
the authoress, was on the train from Chat
tahooga east, which met with such a seri-
as accident; and that she had received
injuries which it was feared were mortal.
Monday morning we heard further rumors
to the same effect. Monday evening we
had other INFORMATION to the contrary.
In order to obtain accurate intelligencewe
telegraphed, Monday night, to MI. George
R. Hatcher, Of Cleveland, the gentleman
at whose house Mrs. Wilson was said TO
be, and yesterday received from him
telegram stating that Mrs. Wilson was not
on the train which was wrecked. This
intelligence will lie the source of great
qualification to the many admirers of Mrs.
Wilson throughout the country.

a STATEMENT has Just been compiled
IN Boston and published there showing
the business of the New England manu-
facturers for the past year Il appears
that the January dividends Of the manu-
featuring companies show comparative
decrease, but none to theextent the ialk Of
dull times would seem to justify. OF the
twenty-nine companies which pay diyi-
dends in Boston, only six pass, the Der
went, Great Falls and Manchester Print
for the second time, and the Atlantic,
Continental and Everett Mills for the first
time. The semi-annual dividends OF the
other twenty-three range from three TO
twelve per cent. one being of twelve,
three of ten, one Of eight, one of six,
four of five, eight of four, and five Of
three per cent. These figures do not look
like the New England manufacturers need
the protection they axe so GENEROUSLY de-
mandiRg of Congress.

An important case has been appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United States,
involving the legality of certain conis-
cations made under the act of 1862, and
incidentally the legality of the act itself
This case arises from the sale under an
order of the District Court, in 1865, of
the brick residence on Ninth street,
formerly occupied by DR.. A. Y. p. Gar
nett, one Of the leading medical praCtition-
ers in Washington. The sale is contested,
partly on the ground of irregularity in the
proceedings, also upon the ground that a
party must, under the Constitution, be
convicted Of treason by jury before his
land and goods can be forfeited. In this
case the claimant was not so tried, and he
was afterwards regularly parloned by the
President The cause will be argued by
the Hon. Benjamin r. Curtis and Mr..
Caleb Gushing, and will probably come
on some time this winter
