quickly, witness asked what was the matter,
and the prisoner could give no answer; seemed

She WAS very pretty. and bore that mild,

dred dollars in bank notes had been stolen
from her mi>trcss's room, and she waa

Important TO Pulmonary Pa

To give reIiefto Pulmonary Consumption
is oftentimes all that it sought for in he adj
ministlation of remedies. We know of ex-
treme cases that have been curod-curcs are
not common, however, and perhaps for the
reason that few persons believe In its cura-
blity, and allow their lungs 70 be consumed
in fatal Misrepresentation. That far gone
DIR. KEYsER's LUNG CURE is hardly to be
questioned, especially when persons who
have been cured can be pointed out to any
who choose to make the inquiry of them.
These cases are near at hand in this city and
within short walk OF the Doctors office.
The Doctor doubtless does not pretend to
care every case; nor does he claim that the
lung cure will always cure without his per-
sonal direction in many cases it will. In
every case 1t will relieve, and 1t will surely
cure the incipient symptoms that lead to
that dreadful scou"ye; in other words, 1t
will cure when application is made TO it In
time. The incredulous will not nquander
much in in a bare trial either of time or
money. The Doctor will examine your
lungs IT. you will call on him at his office,

The Lesson Of the Election.

There are some Democrats in this
State who, both last winter and during
the late political campaign, favored the
adoption of the FLICK Amendment.
They looked upon it as sort Of COM
promise measure, by which disiran-
chisement might be brought to an end
in consideration Of Democratic assent
to negro suffrage. The latter having
been already forced upon our people by
Federal fundamentally, it was thought
that the striking Of the word white
from the Constitution of the State was
not too great price to pay for the en-
franchisement of twenty thousand white
men. OF course this was upon the as
sumption that the Radicals would carry
the State in the election this year, and
have control of the Legislature of 1871
as they have had Of previous Legsla-
lures. A half loaf was better than no
bread. Now, however, when it is in
the power of the Democracy to perfect
the Embarrassment of the whites
,eithom the FLICK amendment, many of
the gentlemen referred to are willing
that that measure be permitted to re
main where the negligence Of Governor
STEVENSON has placed it. There is no
longer any necessity for being content
with the half, now that the whole loaf
is ours The people of the State, even
while thousands were disfranchised,
have pronounced against Radicalism
and prescription, but it cannot he
claimed by any one that they have
voted to excuse and assent to negro
suffrage or to erase the word white
from our Constitution and laws. The
decision of the voters is that the rebels
shall vote, and the lesson of the cleo
ton is also that the people OF
West Virginia are opposed to ne
gro suffrage. We ask the gentlemen
who are pressing the adoption OF the
FLICK amendment by Democrats,
whether this is not true. Let us go to
work heartily and tremendously to-
gether; adopt any of the several legal
modes of immediate enfranchisement;
and. let the negro portion of the FLICK
amendment sleep the sleep that knows
no waking; knowing that by this course
of action we will best obey the will of
the people as pronounced on the 9th of
October last.
