You Haven't Tried them.

Victim of debility, who is responsible for
your feeblcness? Not yourself, you will say
for you've done all you could to cure IT.
That's mistake on your part.
You haven't tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Gloomy dyspeptic, with an uneasy stom-
ach and world-weary face, of course you
don't think yourself responsible for your
own torments. But you are. 1t is easy to
see from your condition that you haven't
tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Bilious sufferer, il is not your fault, you
think, that your symptoms grow worse day
by day. Blue pill doesn't do you any good
Very likely. But you can be brought
round for all that.
Why haven't you tried Hostetter's Bitters
Friend, on whom fever and ague alter
nately blows hot and cold, and whose brain
seems to be bursting with the effects Of some
powerful drug, do you assume the responsi.
bility? o, no! You've taken piles of quiz
nine. and all the regulation medicines.
What could you do more? One thing
more-the very thing that would have ex-
empted you from all the pangs that now
rack you.
You have never tried Hostetter's Bitters.
Nervous invalid, what have you to say
You plead that you have taken all the ner-
vines of the pharmacop9la. If they have
done you no good, IL is not your fault. You
are not responsible. Wrong; al wrong
yourself.
Why haven't you tried Hostetter's Bitters
For all the above named complaints, the
Bitters are absolute specifics.

THE Radicals are arguing that all the
needed amendments Of the Constitution
may be made by joint resolution of the
Legislature and ratification by the peo-
pie. They seem to forget that the
Legislature has other work to do, tor
the proper transaction Of which the
session of forty-five days is none too
long. At the same time they assume,
in their estimate of the expense of a
Convention, that that body will be in
session at least as long as, and perhaps
longer than, the usual legislative term.
If then the Convention, devoting its
whole time and attention to the single
work of remodelling the Constitution
will be unable to complete its labor in
iorty-fve days, how can the Legislature
be expected to do the work and attend
to the necessary legislation beside, in
that length of time? The PEG.
ple desire not change in a
single clause only, not simply an alter
alton in one section Of the Constitution,
but the wiping out OF whole articles and
the substitution of new systems. This
cannot and should not be done hastily
nor without careful and thorough dis,
cussion. 1t is a work which of itself
demands deliberation and time. No
mere legislative committee can do it
properly. and no joint resolution can
be framed that will satisfactorily include
all the amendments desired. A Conven-
ton is absolutely necessary to the
proper performance of the work, be-
cause it Is a work that must be rel
done if it is attempted at all.

THE CUMBERLAND ROAD.

We publish this morning a communi-
cation suggesting to the Board of Pub
lie Works the propriety Of holding a
special election to determine who shall
I've Superintendent Of the Cumberland
road. We doubt whether the plan pro-
posed would be productive OF good re-
suits, and cannot recommend its adop-
ton. The Office in question is, by law,
to be filled by appointment by the Gov
ernor, Treasurer and Auditor OF State
acting as Board. The responsibility
is theirs and should be borne by them.
They already have the fullest informa-
ton they desire concerning the several
applicants for the place and the prefer.
ence of the people along the line Of the
road. The appointment is absolutely
within their gift; let those to whom i,
legally belongs bear the responsibility
of exercising their power in whatever
manner may to them seem best.
1t is not probable that a special cleo,
ton such as our friend proposes would
be very we'll attended or that its re
suit would furnish to the Governor
much information that he does not al
ready possess. 1t would be at
tended simply by the personal friends
of the various candidates and few would
vote whose nance are not already be-
fore the Board as signers of some one
the petitions that have been presented.
The letters and petitions already sent to
Charleston afford every indication Of
popular will that could be obtained by
a special vote, and if the Board is un-
able to make a satisfactory appoint
ment from the evidence before it, we
doubt whether it would do any better
after an election had been held.

The Cumberland ROad-A Sugges
ton.


Editors Of the Register:
The citizens along the Cumberland
road were greatly disappointed at not
seeing Mr.. Bennett, Auditor of State
and member of the Board of Public
Works, who they learned was in the
city last week for the purpose of seeing
how matters stood" | know Mr.. B.
was urged to 90 out the road that he
might talk with the people who use the
road and pay the toll, and thereby ar,
rive at the true situation. Either from
fear of meeting an indignant constitu,
ency or q determination in his own
mind to keep Mr.. Lunsford in the posi-.
ton, he did not make the investigation
he proposed to have come here to make.
1t certainly cannot be that the entire
Board will persist in keeping man in
official position who is so unsatisfactory
to the people.
l therefore propose plan for the
settlement'of the difficulty which should
be acceptable to the Board, Mr.. Luns-
lord and the people, viz Let the three
townships, Richland, Liberty and Tria-
delphia, hold a special election for
Superintendent of the Cumberland road,
the candidates to be Democrats and to
be voted for without regard to party.
The one receiving the highest number
of votes to be appointed Superintendent
by the Board.
This plan would cost but trifie and
would at once relieve the Board from
any responsibility in the matter.
Should this plan be adopted and Mr..
Lunsford not prove the successful can
didate, i have no doubt from my knowl-
edge Of the gentleman he would at once
tender his resignation so that the Board
would not in the least be embarrassed.
In making the publication of these
few lines I have no other purpose in
view than the good Of the Democratic
party, and the success of the present
State administration.

The Democratic State Convention to
be held in Columbus, Ohio, next Thurs
day, is attracting a great deal OF atten'
ton even beyond the bounds OF the
State and is likely to possess peculiar
and unusual interest. The election in
Ohio will be one of the most important
to be held this year and its result will be
anxiously looked for as affording some
indication of the probable issue of the
Presidential campaign in 1872. In fact,
the Presidential campaign will be vlr'
tually opened in Ohio this fall and
hence every movement upon the politl'
cal chess.board there is carefully
scanned and commented upon by men
of each of the contending parties all
over the United States.
A full ticket, with the exception OF
Secretary of State, is to be nominated
next Thursday General THOMAS Ew-
inc, of Lancaster. and Colonel GEORGE
w. McCooK, of Steubenville, appear to
be at present the most prominent candi'
dates for nomination as Governor, w.
L. GRoEsBEcK, of Cincinnati, having
positively declined to enter the arena
AS between EWING and McCooK the
chances seem to be in favor Of the lat,
ter. If the choice were submitted to
the people on this side of the river
there would. be no question as TO
MCCooK's nomination. A ready and
eloquent speaker and sound
Democrat, he also possesses in an
eminent degree all the elements
of personal popularity. Openhearted
and generous; affable and kind to all
a man Of strict integrity and unblemish.
ed honor. he deservedly occupies high
place in the esteem OF all who know
him; while he is well fitted by natural
talent, education and political training,
to be the standard bearer of the Demo
cratic party in Ohio during the ensuing
campaign. We believe he would stand
as good, if not better chance Of cleo
ton, than any other man the convention
is likely to select OF course, we do mol
pretend to any right to advise our Ohio
brethren, or interfere in their local con-
Germs, but still it must be admitted that
our propinquity along nearly three
hundred miles of common boundary
gives to West Virginians a deep interest
in Ohio affairs. Whatever concerns
the welfare of one State is Of but little
less importance 10 the other, and not
withstanding the river is the boundary
of civil Jurisdiction yet political influence
bridges 1t at every point We trust
therefore that our advocacy of the NOM
ina.ion of Colonel McCooK may not be
considered intrusive or out of place. He
is well fitted to be Governor OF Ohio or
of any other State, and we believe his
nomination would aid the Democratic
cause on this side of the river, as we'll
as on that.

three well-known men to do this work.
and they have been engaged in it tor
three months or more. As soon as Dr;
Lanahan, the assistant agent, learned
of their appointment, he demanded the
right to select fourth one, which de-
mand was denied, because among
other reasons given he had had three
experts for thirteen weeks examining
the books in search Of the alleged
frauds, and he could submit the result
of their labors to the present experts
if he desired his charges to be either
verified or disproved, the character Of
the gentleman being Of a sufficient

decision without fear or favor. This
offer DR.. Lanahan declined. His

Oliver Hoyt, united in joint note ask,

him the use of the books of the Con-
Germ and to restore to him certain rights

Supreme Court, for the past two weeks,

To-pAY is the day set apart for for
NAL decoration of the soldiers graves
Hundreds will throng the cities OF the
dead, and from the promptngs OF a
generous sentiment strew flowers upon
their narrow homes. We trust that as
time wears on and heals the ugly
wounds Of war, a kindlier spirit will
manifest itself, and our mourners will
give flowers not only to our own gallant
dead, but to the graves Of the coniede'
rates who fell fighting for their lost
cause. They were our brothers after
all, and as we granted them belligerent
rights in the beginning of the war, let
us give to their graves Christian rites,
now that the war is ended. This we
should do, not for the dead, but for the
living-not for the desolate, dreary
homes OF the South, but for our own
hearts, that throb in health only when
they throb in accordance with the divine
injunction Of peace on earth and good
will to man.

Governor SCOTT, of South Carolina,
called upon President GRANT last Fri
day in order to prevent him from de-
claring martial law in the Palmetto
State. The Governor thinks he will be
able to crush out Ku-Kluxism without
government assistance, and says his en-
deavors to preserve order and quell dis
turbances are endorsed by nearly every
reputable citizen of South Carolina.
If South Carolina can remain quiet I'm,
der the pillage and oppression to which
she has been subjected by the negroes
and carpet-baggers, surely every other
Southern State can, and there is no
earthly necessity for the Ku-Klux law,
except for the purpose of making GRANT
President in 1872.
