THE GEORGIA CORRUPTION IN
VESTIGATION.

The Judiciary Committee of the Senate,
who.were instructed TO inquire and report
whether any corrupt and improper means
have been used or attempted to influence
Senators ON the Georgia question, made
their report on the 18th inst The Hon.
James Hughes, of Indiana, testified that a
gentleman named Lewis Porter, who is
financial clerk in the city post Office at
Washington, called on him about the 21st
of March last, and asked him whether
he could control the vote of Senator Car
penter, of Wisconsin. Mr.. Hughes replied
he did not think he could, but he had no
doubt he could ascertain how he was going
TO vote upon any question of importance.
Mr.. Porter said that $4,000 in railroad
bonds, Endorsed by the State of Georgia,
could be put up TO secure his vote against
the Bingham amendment. Mr.. Hughes
told Porter he could not approach Senator
Carpenter with any proposition of that
sort, but he was satisfied in his own mind
he would vote for the amendment Before
Porter left the room he made some remark
TO the effect that the $40, was to be
divided between Porter and Hughes in
case of its being done. Mr.. Hughes told
him he could have nothingto do with such
a transaction. One Avery, whotelegraphed
from Savannah duringthe tendency of the
bingham amendment before the Senate,
that the lives of Northern men were not safe
in Georgia, was also examined by the
committee. He claimed 10 be a director
in the Brunswick and Albany Railroad
Company, and admitted having gone to
see Porter, who was an active politician
in the Republican party. Avery admitted
that he went to New York to obtain pe0-
pie 20 write letters to Senators, and had
asked twenty men to write 10 Senators
Conkling and Fcnton, and that has cost
money. 1t was also shown by testimony
that attempts had been made to influence
the~otes of Senators Upton and Pome-
roy. 1t was testified by the publishers
Of the Washington Chronicle, one of
Forney's 1.-TWO papers, both daily" that
Bullock had paid that office 81, 459 for
printing pamphlets, publishing speechts
and other matters, copies Of papers, etc.

IL q recent debate in the United States
Senate, Messrs. Warner, of Alabama, and
Sawyer, of South Carolina, both carpet
baggers, strongly advocated universal am
nesty. Mr.. Morton, of Indiana, twitted
Mr.. Warner with a reference to his recent
application for military force TO be sent
10 Alabama to keep the Ku-Klax in check,
10 which the latter replied, that if the re-
spectacle, influential people of that State
were restored to their civil and political
rights they would so control public senti-
ment that there would be no further use
for an armed soldieTy TO preserve order.
After this center shot from the Southern
carpet-bagser, Morton let him alone Sc
verely.

HE Popular Tonic of the Age.

The day has gone by when medicine without
merit could command and retain the confidence Of
tho world. Advertising induces the public to try
many things, but in this shrewd and thoughtful
age, words will not suffice without proofs, and 1t
is by the exercise Of their private jUd yment men
determine the relative value Of the various articles
recommended to their notice through the business
columns Of newspapers. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers has now been subjected to this searching
deal for moro than eighteen years, and the result
is that it stands at the head Of the class of remedies
to which it belongs 1t has distanced and lived
down innumerable competitors and is to-day the
Standard Vegetable Tonic Of the Western world.
The happy effects which have followed its use in
cases of dyspepsia bIiousness, nervous affections,
intermittent fevers and general debility, and as
constitutional invgorant have entitled it to uni
versal confidence, Nothing can ever shake its
reputation for it is based the individual expe-
riences of tens of thousands of witnesses embrace
ing prominent and weIl-known citizens of every
profession, occupation and class. There is not
city town settlement in the United States where
it is not medicinal staple. No druggist or gener-
al dealer would consider his stock complete without
it, and the returns of the internal revenue depart
ment show that its sales exceed those of any other
proprietary restorative manufactured on this side
of the Atlantic. The beneficial results derived du-
ring long series of years from the Of Hostel
ter's Bitters, have convinced the whole community
that the only true way to restore to health broken
down or debilitatcd system, or to put the human
body on its defence when exposed to unwholcsome
Influences, is to nri1orate, regulate and purity it at
one and the same time. naval deOdIw6wlt
