More Negro legislation.

1t is said that in the forthcoming Con-
gressional caucus a Southern Senator
intends to propose a policy, to be incOr-
porated into a law, for the better protec-
ton of the colored people of the South,
and to secure the enforcement OF the
Fifteenth Amendment in the North.
This will take something of the shape
ola bill prepared by Mr.. Pool, ofNorth
Carolina, and which will declare that
all citizens of the United States shall
have in the several States all the priv
ilcges and immunitics of life, liberty
and property. 1t will declare it to be
unlawful for persons to combine or con-
spire to violate or hinder or impede any
of the rights meant TO be secured by this
act, one Of which is to prevent the dis
charge from employment of any person
with intent to restrain his free and COM
plete exercise of the elective franchise.
Another feature of this proposed legis-
lation is to authorize the President to
employ the land and naval forces or the
militia to preserve the peace in any
State.
The negro seems to engage the whole
time and attention of Congress and
Radical Conventions, while white peo-
pie are only slaves to bear the burdens
Of taxation.

An Old FaIIacy Exploded.

Thirty or forty years ago. IL was the fash
ion to administer powerful purgatives as
"Spring medicines" Terrific doses of salts
and SIENNA, calomel and jalap, or glauber
salts were given to all the members of n
family, whether sick or well, by way of pre-
pairing them for the warm weather in pros
pect. This pernicious custom Is nearly
obsolete. but there are some old BOurbOnS
of private life, incapable.alike of forgetting
anything or learning anything, who obSti-
nately cling to il still. Nothing could be
more perniciouS, more utterly unphilosOph-
ical, than such an onslaught on the vigOr
and elasticity of the system. In order to
enable the physical structures TO resist the
enervating effects of spring damps and sum-
mer heats, it should be toned and reinforced,
not relaxed and weakened. The best med
cine agent for this purpose is HOStetter'S
Stomach BitterS. Its effect Is to tone the
stomach and liver, gently relieve the bowels
from distractions, brace the nerves, i'm
prove the quality of the blood, stimulate
the appetite and cheer the spirits. In this
improved condition the organization is
capable of resisting unhealthy influences,
which would PROSTATE an enfeeblcd system.
\ vigorous digestion Is absolutely essential
TO health, and there is no danger of the
stomach faltering or failing in its import
ant office if this genial vegetable elixir is
taken regularly as stomachic. None OF
the tonic tinctures or extracts will supply
the place of the BitterS, for the simple rea-
son that they operate as aStringents only.
In fact, in ordinary practice, five or six pre-
scriptions would he required TO produce,
separately, the beneficial results, which
are effected simultaneously, and harmoni-
ouSly by this single specific.

A Word 30 Our Friends.

lN LESS than month the Democratic
nominating Convention ut Charleston
willassembleto put our State ticketin the
field. Have our friends in all the coun-
ties held their meetings and appointed
their delegates? Are they fully aroused
to the great Importance OF the contest
and the solemn duties they should per-
form? II any neglect or delay of this
character exists in any section of the
State, we sound the tocsin of alarm this
morning and call our friends to arms
and to battle. There is no time for de-
lay and much less excuse for neglect
Picked delegates should be sent from
each county to this Convention to ensure
the selection of the ablest and most pop
ular candidates for election.
In former Conventions too many
counties have been represented by
proxies. Every one of them should now
be represented by full delegations at
Charleston because that point is more
accessible to the Western countie.
than former localities have been. We
appeal to our friends in every county
to note this fact, and move at once in
the discharge of their duty Appoint
delegates and perfect your county
organization without delay. They who
cannot vote as well as they who can,
are invited to participate in these con-
ventions and organizations, Unity Of
action and a full development of
strength will lead us to glorious victory.
Division or neglect invites certain de
feat Let our battle CRY, therefore,
ring out through every valley as clear
as bell, and the march of our legions
be as terrible as an "army with ban
ners."

We have maintained for weeks past
that the Republican party of this State
have never had the slightest intention
Of changing the Constitution or the
suffrage question, OF of modifying the
odious Registration law; and that the
proposed FLICK amendment of the last
session of the Legislature was simply a
forced blind to pacify "let up Republi-
cans and deceive the honest masses OF
the people. That such was the true
facts of the case is now frankly con-
fessed by a leading organ of that party.
The Parkersburg Journal thus lets the
cat slip out Ofthe meal tub:
Whilst wethen thought-and recent
events confirm the correctness Of that
opinion-that the REIMBURSEMENT of
rebels at that time was premature, be-
lieving as we did, that the party was
not prepared for such step, we advised
that the Legislature simply repeal the
suitors, lawyers and teachers test
oaths and then stop. But, upon the con
vcning of the Legislature it was found
that small number Of the Republicans
would probably coalesce with the Dem
ocrats and make sufficient number to
secure a repeal of the registration law,
thus repeating the experience of Ten
nessee and Maryland. Which exper-
fence was simply the defeat of the Rad
icals which they want to prevent in
the State The Flick amendment was
brought forward as compromise, and
was accepted as such and in its favor
are recorded the names of some of the
staunchest Republicans in the State.
The editor of the Journal was himself
member Of the last Legislature, and
voted to remove the shackles of political
despotism from lawyers, teachers and
suitors, but further than that he was
not willing to 60. Consequently he
uOted against the Flick amendment He
now confesses that the FLICK amend
ment was only brought forward, and
sustained by some leading Republicans,
not as an act of justice, or right, or
mercy to the disfranchised, but purely TO
defeat change in tie Registration lac
'chich they .fearedi
This is the whole truth of the case
as we have charged it repeatedly, and
now the journal, whose editor is a
bitter ender," is anxious that its party
shall evade the question before the peo-
pie by keeping it out of the convention
platform! Here is its language:
ave think the true course for our
friends to pursue at the June conven-
ton is TO leave each one free to enioy
his opinions; and this can only he
done by ignoring those questions which
have already been passed upon bv a
Republican Legislature, and if we must
have resolutions to have no party tests
on these questions"

TALLYRAND has said that language

TALLYRAND has said that language
was made to conceal thoughts. Radi-
cal platforms are to be made to cheat
the people. The doctrine Of the journal
about mo party tests" is based, we sup
pose. upon the high moral idea that, as
there are more dupes in the world than
there are knaves, (as numerous as the
latter are) the Radicals can better
hope to carry their purposes by
deception aud fraud than by open
and manly avowal. The ques-
tons passed upon by the last Legisla,
ture were never intended to be executed
and were designed simply as trick to
deceive the people; for, while they
hope to win act ups" on the one hand,
they de- not intend, if they can help 1t,
to offend the "bitter enders" on the
other \ more glazing case of decep-
ton and fraud is no where to be traced
in the conduct Of any party, and II 1t
does not recoil with disastrous effect
upon the heads Of its inventors we shall
be much deceived in the views we have
of the intelligence and patriotism OF
our people.

Democratic Convention the nomination

in Moorefeld West Virginia where he
has been since the close of the war en-
gagged in the practice of lawas partner
of ex-Judge James and W. F. Allen.

most eulogistic terms and strongly adj
vocates his nomination by the approach

receiving the nomination we feel conf

THE House We Live En."

Space forbids our speaking of the bones,
muscles, lungs, brain, nerves, skin, etc. But
consider for moment that the average
amount of blood in an adult is thirty
pounds or about one-flfth of the body'S
weight. At each beat OF the heart two and
a-half ounces of blood are thrown out of it;
one hundred and seventy-five ounces per
minute; six hundred and fifty six pounds per
hour; seven and thrce-fOurthS tons per day.
All the blood in the body passes through
the heart in three minutes and distributes
the nutritive principle to every texture
and the source of every secretion. Now, if
the blood is weak and impure, the danger
of mourning disease is imminent. This is
certain TO be its condition, more or less, at
this period of the year And just here we
are admonished of the superior advantages
of MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS for cleans
ing and renovating the blood. This it will
always do, and also prevent any disease
arising from impure blood, because it re-
moves the cause. Begin ut once to purify
your blood with this great tonic, and thus
ward off disease before il entrcncheS itself
in your system. mas

The cable dispatches show that the
election which was held in France Sun
day passed off without disorder The
returns from the city of Paris indicate
heavy majorities against the plebisci-
tum and the Government though the
returns from the departments, it was ex-
pected, would be largely the other way.
Paris, it is well known, is the stronghold
Of the opposition to NAPOLEON, or what
are called the Liberals or Republicans,
but the large negative vote there, lS2, SSl
to l3S, 100 affirmative, with one section
to hear from, will hardly be a drop in
comparison to the provincial atfirma-
tive. The Emperor, it is held, plays
no doubtful game, for even if the ma
jority were to vote against the constitu-
tional amendments, the result would
merely he the overthrow of the liberal
policy ofthe OLIVIER ministry, and the
re-establishment Of the system Of per-
sonal government which the Emperor
has upheld for twenty years
