We have noticed frequently
in our exchanges that common
coal oil was a sure cure tor sore
throat, and having recommend
ed it to several, a speedy and
perfect cure in every instance
was the result. The applican
tion is made externally, by
rubbing the. throat with oil two
or three times a day, and we
recommend it to all afflicted
with this painful and danger.

a RICH CAsE.
Sheriff Miller Arraigned before
the Court.
He Files sn Affidavit s'ihat he CAM
not have an Impartial TPlal"
In VandeFbuFgh County.

Sheriff Miller has placed upon re.
cord the most unequivocal evidence
that he himself is satisfied that the
voters of Vanderburgh County will
not re-elect him to Office. His fate
is sealed, and he knows it; but it is a
little singular that he should. in the
most solemn manner, before the cleo
ton, acknowledge it. But we have
the official proof to show that he has
done this very thing.
There is now pending quite an in
teresting suit in the Vanderburgh |
Court of Common Pleas. wherein |
Jacob H. Miller is defendant. The
complaint of the plaintiff is a very
readable document, and being on file
in the public Courts of the County,
can be be seen by any citizen. but we
do not propose to publish it in our
columns unless it shall be made nee
essary. But there is one brief paper
on file in the case, which we append
below. The case was called for trial
on the fourth day of the term of
the Court, September 9Th last, and
Mr., Miller, by his attorney, Col.
Charles DENLY, stated to the Court
that Mr.. Miller was unwilling to have
the suit tried in Vanderburgh
County, whereupon the Judge re-
quired him to conform to the statute
and set forth his reasons Under oath,
which he has done. 1t will be seen
: by the affidavit below, that Jacob II

| candidate for Sheriff, has solemnly

From the Chicago Tribune.
The PORT Of-EntFy RuIes.

It is. perhaps, too early, in advance
of their actual trial, to determine that
the regulations adopted by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury under the Inte-
rior Port-of- Entry bill, will prove, as
some of our contemporaries have as
sumed, an embarrassment to direct
importation. The regulations are
long and apparently minute, and pro-
VIDE Tor numerous new manipulations
OF the goods by the officers, and for
new ana numerous interpretations of
that ott1cial enginery which requires
so much OIL to overcome the friction.
ana results In the unreeling of so
large quantity of red tape. How
Iar these increase the fees, remains to
pc seen. They can scarcely increase
them 10 an extent sufficient to offset
and neutrallze the gain which accrues
from saving the interest on the
amount of the duties.
The regulations are, in brief, that
wines, liquors and explosive articles
are excluded from the act; that the
bill OF IadlnS or invoice must specify
the interior port to which the goods
are to be shipped that such mercban-
disc must be conveyed only by bonded
common carriers, and must be con-
veyed in sealed cars under the custo .
DIV of the officer of the customs. II
is not quite clear why a railroad com
pany should be obliged to give bonds
for goods which are never intrusted
to its possession, but always remain in
that of the customs officer; nor
that railroads will find it conven-
lent to carry such bonded goods in
sealed car or in a sealed compartment
of o car, and, while allowing them to
be always in charge of the customs
officer, to still be responsible for their
