Science Advances.

As soon as an article purporting to be OF
utility has been tested. and its merits en-
dorsed by public opinion, unprincipled
parties endeavor to replenish their depleted
purses by counterfeiting and substituting n
spurious for the genuine article. Some
time since, mercury, in the disguise Of pills,
powders, &c, was given for all diseases OF
the stomach and liver, while outline was
Fl eely administered for the chills. At
length Hostetter's Stomach Bltters made its
advent, and an entire new system Of heal
ing was inaugurated. The beneficial effects
Of this valuable preparation were at once
acknowledged, and mineral poisons suffered
to sink into that obscurity TO which an en-
lightened age has consigned them. There
have been many spurious bitters palmed
upon the community, which, after trial,
have been found perfectly worthless, while
Hostetter's has proved a blessing to thou
sands, who owe to II their restoration 10
health.
For many years we have watched the
steady progress OF Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers In public estimation, and its benificent
effects as q cure for all complaints arising
from the stomach OF morbid nature, and
we are free to say that il can be relied upon
as a certain relief and remedy. Its proprie-
tors have made the above preparation, after
years of careful study and sitting, and are
now reaping the reward claimed by this
valuable specific, and which they so richly
merit. 1t Is the only preparation Of the
therefore demands the attention OF the AZ
fiicled.

In another column will be found the
announcement Of st. Clair Kelly, Esq.
as an independent candidate for Com
non Pleas Judge. We insert this as we
do any other advertisement for pay, but
we will say to our neighbor he might
as we'll save his money, for Chambers
will be elected by over two thousand
msjority.-IS. Clairsulle Gazette.
Mr.. Kelly's advertisement will be
found in this issue of the Spirit. The
Radical managers in Monroe stand for
the pay. Mr.. Kelly is confirmed Rad
ica1, and expects by this Independent
dodge to secure few Democratic votes.
The fraud is too transparent to win
single vote outside Of the Radical
party.
There is another little trick connected
with this Independent dodge that the
Radicals expect TO gain a few votes by,
and that ia to have Kellys name print
ed on the Democratic ticket instead Of
Chambers. That trick was tried in
1866, when Kennon and Cowen ran, but
flashed in the pan. All the Demo
cratic tickets printed at this office will
have Robert E. Chambers, for Judge,
on them.
Monroe county will give Chambers
majority of 300 votes. Belmorters,

The Buckhannon Guard has the fol.
lowing: THE Parkersburg Journal,
speaking upon the probabilities of the
Convention, saws: A gentleman well
acquainted in Upshur county writes us
that old Upshur will do her duty
against the Convention. The best men
here in the Democratic party oppose it.
They know and they acknowledge that
it will make taxes high. You may
count on at least 700 majority against
it in this county
This calculation is beyond our ideas
or anticlpations. We know Of no in.

Convention; on the contrary, we know
Of number Of Radicals who will sup.

satisfied that biennial sessions OF the

a Convention want will relieve our
young State of considerable amour,
Of taxation in the future.
"Our contemporary Of the journal will
be monstrously disappointed when he
hears from Upshur county after TIT

county, and we tell him in all cando

Look, for instance, at the vote OF
Ohio county. Only 1854 votes were
cast OF which 1923 were in favor OF the
Constitution and yet the Intelhgsncer
knows that there were at that time at
least 1000 legally qualified voters in
Ohio county.
Since the ratification Of the Fed

thirteen States, twenty-four new States
have been formed and admitted
into the Union. But each one oil
those new States, prior to its adj
mission, solemnly accepted and con-

BY force of arms and backed by the
power of the Federal Government
forced upon three times their number a

Mr.. BoGGEss did not say on Tuesday
evening that the Supreme Court held
that if citizen lost the qualifications
of voter he could not hold office; he
said that some Of the Courts so held.
In the hurry Of making up our report
Of the speeches, this distinction was
overlooked. In the case OF Mr.. PHAREs
Of Randolph county, Judge THOMAS W.
HARRISON decided that citizen whose
name had been stricken from the regis
try Of voters, was thereby disqualified
from holding office; and in the case Of
MCPHERSON, WALKER and others, in
Greenbrier county, NAT HARRISON made
q similar decision. Upon appeal, how
ever, the Supreme Court reversed both
these decisions and restored the plaintiffs
to the enjoyment Of the offices from
which they had been illegally ousted.
In fact it is little surprising that
even the Circuit Courts ventured upon 50
dangerous a path. Under their dec-
sion, if the Governor or two members
of the Board of Registration wished to
get rid of Judge, all they had to do
was to strike his name from the list Of
voters; the Governor would then ap-
point suitable person to fill the unex-
pired term. The instinct OF self-preser-
walton should have warned the Judges
from falling into this error but a desire
to serve a party friend, and often fear
of the Legislature, compelled the
Judges Of our courts to render some
decisions in those days that are perfect
marvels of ignorance and inconsistency

We are informed By the resident
members ofths Asylum Board thst At:
torney General Sprigg has rendered a
opinion As to the debt contracted By Dr..
Hin, and the old Board, and has deci
ded that it cannot be paid out Of the
preseu, appropriation. Our readers will
recollect that some time ago We publish
ed a report that he had rendered q de-
eisica requiring the immediate payment
of the debt, which statement we now
find o be erroneous. We understand
that the basis upon which the opinion
is rendered is, that the present appro-
priation was made "For the further con-
struetion OF the West Virginia Hospital
for the Insane" and consequently can
not be used to pay for something done
in the past. The creditors will therefore
have to wait until the Legislature again
convenes, when, doubtless, a special ap'
preparation will be made to cover the
Weston Democrat.

THE SAN DOMINGO FRAUD.
Another InstaIment Of Plumber

Another lnstoiment Oi Ti"""'''
From the Patriot
New YORK, July 30.-The steamer
Perit, sailed yesterday, took $4,000
10 paw President Baez, OF San Domingo,
the second moiety of the lease Of the
Bay of SANTANA. She also took arms
for the Dominican Government.
This telegram confirms, literally, all
the recent revelations in regard to the
present phase OF the San Domingo job,
and the Presidents purpose to pursue
his pet scheme OF annexation, in de.
fiance OF Congress and public opinion.
There is no legal lease Of the Bay Of
SANTANA, and no second moiety," as it
is called, to be paid. The convention
for the first and only lease, was never
ratified by the Senate, and lapsed over
a year ago. 1t was the President )
duty to have withdrawn Immediately
from this occupancy, after the refusal
to approve that corrupt bargain, in
which $4,000 Of the peoples money
was taken from the secretservice fund
of the Department Of State, and dis
tributed between Baez and the Washing
ton lobby.
But in spite of the indignant protest
of all parties, the President has main
tanned forcible possession Of SANTANA,
keeps the flag of the United States
flying there, employs a naval store
keeper at the public expense, and Or
ders squadron to remain at and near
San Domingo, in order to prop up the
degraded despotism of Baez. Over
three millions Of dollars have been
squandered already in this business for
naval expenditures only. And that is
but part Of the entire outlay. This
attempt to occupy and hold SANTANA,
under pretext Of continuing a lease
which has no existence whatever, is an
audacious outrage and a usurpation OF
power, for which the President deserves
impeachment. 1t never would have
been attempted without his connivance,
and could not be carried into effect
without his direct consent. The fact is
notorious, as we have heretofore stated,
that the President wrote letters to the
Postmaster Of Boston and others, urg-
ing them to assist Fabens in raising
the money by which this false posses
sion is to be kept up as the nucleus OF
future raid on the Treasury and
means OF coercing the country into an
nexation.
Although the President in his mes
sage to Congress pretended to abandon
this shameful scheme, the plain truth
is, he has never, at any time or in any
manner, given up his pet project. And
his personal connection with Fabens in
this recent transaction of raising money
for purpose which Congress refused
to entertain; his appointment Of Fabens
son as commercial agent at SANTANA;
the sending of arms to Baez; the main
tenance of a squadron at large expense;
all show defiant spirit and determi.
nation to make the Presidents will SUI
perior to Congress and to the expressed
judgment of the country. The time
has come when phrases are not to be
minced on the subject. General Grant
is associated with these jobbers, and
abuses the Executive authority to favor
huge speculation in San Domingo.
And it will be held to that responsibility.
