ing In their cards Familiarity to various well
known Senators who control patronage in
the Departments, and who have heretofore
secured offices for persons of more than
doubtful repute Men who spout very
strangely about "moral ideas" are exactly
those who have been most noted in this
regard. If fraction of what is known
here was Published, what a sensation there
would be, and how some fictitious reputa.
tons would fall
These are facts. 1t appears by this state
ment in a republican newspaper-edited by
the Assistant Secretary of War under the
late Edwin NJ. Stanton-that the homes,
wives and daughters of members of Con.
gress cannot see their husbands and fathers
at the national capitol, without being
crowded, shouldered and ios,led about BY
the splendid, Illicit, gaudy, gorgeous strump-

marble pa ace, where our laws are made
that is, such laws as radical ingenuity can
devise for the sub lection Of free and indie
pendent States of the Union. 1t is, in
truth, a matter for sincere lamentation that

ideas" and of devotion to "God and human
ity," but the leaders Of which are lechers,
thieves, and violaters of every human and

SOME YEARS since poor but talented gentle
man of the medical profession conceived the idea
that if he could produce medicine Of universal
application and extraordinary merit, and make
it known, he could not only enrich himself and
esca . the irudgery Of ply scisn' s life, but
also benefit the sick in a greater measure than hy
his private practice. Es therefore consulted
with the best ply sicians he could find, and the
result was the production of the Judson's Noun
tain Herb Pills, a famous and most successful
medicine. He began in small way to make the
Mountain Herb Pills known by advertising them
and such was the value of his Pills, that in few
years he had not only amassed fortune, but had
that rare satisfaction for u rich man, of having
relieved the sick, and benefited his feiIo~-men
in every part of tho country, as thousands OF
grateful test monials could prove. The Iudson's
Mouutgin Herb Pills have cured Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities, and all
Bilious Disorders. This little sketch serves both
to adorn . tale and point moral. DR.. Judson's
Pills ware meritorous and the Doctor himself
knew the value Of printers ink. For sale by all
dealers. decl5dwlm.

One of the few really successful enterprises of
the day is Parker Il Co.'S One Dollar Sale. Their
system offers a greater opportunity for the pur-
chase of the thousand and one useful articles,
at price that dVknes within the reach of /

1t is well understood fact, that certain elias.

trade, and is obliged TO purchase in small guam
titles and when the goods sold by three or
four different classes of merchants, and each
charge very large profit, the price becomes
double the original cost Of manufacture before
reaching the hands OF the people.
1t is IN such goods Parker 4 Co., IS and 100
Summer St, Boston, deal most extensively.
Their sales so immense they make eacE arti-

produce. Their system gives universal salts

WAY D0WNIN GEoKGIA.

A correspondent writes to the Gncin-
natl Commercial from Atlanta:
notice that the Democrats invariably
vote for an adjournment when there is no
business of importance before them, and
against, when there is. The Radicals vote
Just the other way, with few honorable
exceptions. The reason for this is plain
to every man who is not smeared over SO
deep with latter-day loyalty that he can't
see out.
The Democracy are Georgians; their
interests and property are here, and they
are directly interested in cutting down ex-
penses. The Radical side of the House
is made up of men who have not got
much property here, nor anywhere else.
An expense to the State of three thousand
dollars a day has no terrors for them, as
they will have none of it to pay. OF
course there are exceptions to the rule,
but not many. If the amount of taxes
paid by the Radical members was figured
up, it would be found TO he fearfully and
wonderfully small.
No State in the Union pays her law
MAKERS as well as Georgia, with the ex-
ceptiOn of California, and there is where
the fault is. Nine dollars day is too
much, especially so when they are fur
nished everything, even TO papers and
postage stamps. Take negro out of a
field where he can earn but ten or fifteen
dollars a month, and work hard, and put
him in the Legislature, where he receives
two hundred and seventy mine dollars a
month, and nothing to do, and, of course,
he will stay if he can. BY voting agains,
adjournment he can, and therefore he
but why make plain case any palmer!
Enough white men vote with the negroes
to carry the day, (and the nine dollars 8
day alsO;) and the result is that the treas
ury is continually drained. Does anybody
wonder that the people of Georgia grum
bic and complain of being badly tIeatedi
Massachusetts would be apt to make 6
slight fuss under similar circumstances.
