The canvass for the Speakership of
the next Congress has commenced already,
and the Washington Chronicle reports
the present incumbent ahead Very few
members of the next Congress will be
elected before fall, but that appears to
make no sort of difference. The GsrOn-
jcLe of the LIST inst says: at is said
that quiet canvass for the Speaker Of
the next House of Representatives of the
United States among members certain of
reelection discloses great strength for the
Hon. James G. Blaine, the incumbent.
That is well. 1t would be surprising if it
were not So. The Speakers chair was
never more acceptably filed. +" The
Chronicle pays Colfax rather left
handed compliment.

The Committee on the ''Bill of Rights"
in the Illinois Constitutional Convention
have proposed two important additions to
that instrument. The first is to add to
the usual declaration that private prop
erty shall not be taken for public use
without just compensation, these words.
''phe fee of land taken for railroads
without the owners consent shall remain
in such owner, subject to the use for
which it was taken" and the second
joins 10 the prohibition upon ex post
factO laws, clause intended TO prevent
the Legislature from making ''any ire
Yertible grant of special privileges or i'm
munities." The Chicago Times saws
''these are fundamental checks upon the
overweening assumptions of private cor
porations, which threaten the liberties of
this country, and recognitions of the fact
that public policy is above and beyond
the reach of legislative contracts"

The Washington correspondent of the
Lynchburg Vjrginian says in his letter
of April %: ''The orderly and law
abiding disposition of the people of Vir-
ginia has been a matter of real grief to
the Radicals in power, for it does not
afford them even a shadow of pretext
for demanding the State to the tender mer-
cies of Congress. Not many days ago,
an informal caucus of these poison blind
legislators took place, with the special
view of hitting upon some plan to create
disturbance in Virginia. One by one
the whining Yankee, the cringing and
spiteful carpet-bagger, and the base and
brutal soalawag, bemoaned the emancipa-
ton of Virginia from the control of Con-
gress. She must be brought back, says
Mr.. - of Massachusetts,, we must
goad her people to new rebellion, said
an honorable member from Tennessee,
whose snaky eyes and stealthy movements
well betoken the mixture of cruelty,
venom and abje;t fawning, which chiefly
mark his character. The incident shows
what these Radicals would give for few
f1rst-class Outrages. Anything to get Vir-
ginia back under the control of Congress
and the bayonet.

DEAR IN MIND

that MISHLERS HERB BITTERS is skillfuUy
compounded, free from injurious component
parts, agreeable to the taste, and destructive to
disease. If you detect any change from the ratr,T

or where located, or if disease has already en-
trenched itself, the really true and reliable remedy
IN either case is M1SHLER'S HERB BITTFRS
This assertion is based upon what We know it viii

For want of space we cannot detail the diyersi ed
uses OF this Bitters, but its general effects upon
the human system are to purify the blood and So

SOMEHOW, it always happens that, when
an election is pending in Franee, 'plot''
is discovered against the Emperor. This
is SO Yankee-like that one is tempted to
believe that Napoleon has taken lessons
from Radicals on this side the ocean; and
that his ''plots" are to France what
Bleeding Kansas and Southern outrages
have been and are to the United

CLUB life is extending so widely in
England that domestic society begins TO
complain about it. The ladies do not
like the almost universal neglect Of home
which the multiplication of clubs is pro
noting. There seems to be scarcely any
remedy 10 be suggested. Making home
happy may have some effect in a few
cases, but it will not prevail as azure for
the so-called evil among the generality of
men. Almost any man with convivial
aspirations viii consider it bore TO be
tied forever even to the happiest Of
homes.

The election in Oregon, which takes
place on the 9th of June, is for State Off
GERS, members of the Legislature, and a

THE kindly disposition of the negro
compares strikingly with that of the
white Radical Fred. Douglass said in a
speech IN Philadelphia the other day, that
although a thorough-going Republican,
he would not dispute the right of any
colorcd citizen 10 vote the Democratic
ticket. Wendell Phillips told the colored
men Of Boston lately, that if they ever
voted for any man who had in public life
done them the slightest injustice, he
should consider them as traitors to their
race. tNeYer forgive!" is the maxim of
Philips. Do as you think right is the
advice of Douglass, who is the best sense,
is the whittier man Of the two.

THE New York Shipping list gives
notice that in It's next annual statement
IF the cotton crop of the United States to
baAnade up next September, ii will include
in the total statement of crop, the con-
sumption of the cotton-growing States,
derived from actual returns from the mills
at the South, excluding all estimates of
unbaled cotton taken for local use. By
this method, the statement of the crop,
and the production of the country will be
identical. One of the great objects to be
gained by the proposed change in making
I'D the annual statement of the crop, is to
correctly ascertain the exact proportion
of consumption in the States South, as
well as North of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers. This is a good idea, and we hope
the Charleston Courier and New Orleans
Price Current will adopt it.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS
TRATION, Is THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The Introduction Of
PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-
pared with pure St. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes Of the
world to this great fact. The ife-sus-
tanning principle embodied In this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested In
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change. If
the appetite has failed, it is quickened;
If digestion has Dren painful aud upper
feet it becomes easy and thorough; II
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; if the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrung; II the brain
has been haunted by morbid fsncies they
are put to flight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face of the e1traor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
sia, biliousness, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist In
it. The terrible evscuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring and Bum
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige. The sick willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, In which are COM
bined the elements of stomachic, "a
inYigorant q mild laxative . nervine and
an anti-bilious specific, reign In their
stead. I Sold by all Druggists
