PENDERLEITH.
CHAPTER ".

AN EARLY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DIS
APPEARED.
2f1'Yy dear boy, for gracious sake sit
JTl down and take some breakfast.
CC You may rely upon it that it Is as
say.
so spoke Mrs. Lyle Penderleith on
the morning following the events relat-
ed IN the last chapter.
The scene was the breakfast-room at
Roseden. The silver service on the Ia
BILE glittered in the autumn sunshine,
throwing of refracted rays at every an
gle. The urn hummed musicaIly. The
apartment was light and cheerful, The
open-glass doors displayed to view an
emerald-green lawn, studded with
beds Of gay flowers, while the roses and
Dlematis festoOniug the verandah, filled
the air with perfume.
The room, the view, represented Ar
cadia-a modern Arcadia, of English
comforts and English opulenee; yet, at
the moment, the drdnatis personu ap.
pesred scarcely to harmOnize with the
scene.
Mrs. Lyle presided at the breakfast
table, exerting every effort, for the con
ISOLATION of her son, to seem at ease, and
confident i'm what she had asserted,
though certain lines and movements OF
her features betrayed both annoyance
and perplexity.
Getard's coffee was cold; the eggs, the
bacon were in the same condition; while
the BarOnet, needless Of them, restless
Iy paced the floor, his brow knit with
anxiety and mental suffering. His face,
which only the evening before had been
SO radiant with hope, was white and
worn, his brown eyes haggard. His
whole expression indeed, told of tppu:
pie, and a sleepless night.
He had began his present persmbula-
tions half an hour before breakfast; vet
now, untouched by him, it was nearly
over, and he made no sign to partake
Of the Ineal, HENCE Mrs. Lyle's 'entrea-
ty,
Something had certainly gone wrong.
What could have Ns',--l a,
>--,-~,u une sudden
change? A few words will suffice to ex-
plain.
Fhhrse-nay, four hours had the young
BarOnet waited at the gate on the west
side of the Penderleith plantation for
Alma to meet him, as she had promis,
ed. But the moon had sailed up to the
zenith, then dropped slowly down the
sky, yet no Alma appeared.
Tortured by endless surmises as to the
reason Gerard had waited and waited

Defensive Medication.

Investigation Is as necessary for the pro-
lection of the human body against disease
when unhealthy influences are abroad as
iron armor and granite easements are for
the protection of ships and fortreSSes when
assailed by shot and shell. Hence 1t Is de-
sirable when those potent enemies Of vital
ity, damp and cold, pervade the air we
breathe, to put the system in the best posi-
bic condition to encounter them. The
stomach is the organ by which every other
organ is nouriShed and sustained, and
therefore upon lis vigorous and regular ac-
ton depends In great measure the capac-
ity OF the system To resist the assaults OF
the invisible enemies of health and life, by
which, AT this Indictment season, 1t is sur
rounded. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an
admirable tonic and regulating medicine
for all seasons, is never more needed than
In winter, when the torpifying influence Of
a chilly atmosphere effects all the vital
functions, and renders the body extremely
susceptible. BY toning the digestive organs
and the liver and the bowels with this UNI
equalled vegetable specific, physical con-
dition is attained which seems to be proof
against all varieties OF temperature, and
that Is inimical In the air Of winter. De-
fensive medication is precaution which
should never be neglected when danger is
present, and therefore course of the Bit
tiers at this season Is particularly desirable,
especially for the feeble and sickly. As
remedy for billousness, dyspepsia, nervous
ness and bowel complaints, there is nothing
comparable to this wholesome restorative.

SINCE the advent of the Democrats to
power in North Carolina they have en-
acted laws for the purpose Of putting a
stop to negroes repeating their votes IN
various places at each election. The
colored members Of the Legislature
have therefore issued proclamation"
wherein they set forth that the Demo
Gratis have commenced system OF
Acknowledgement, by amending the
charters of towns; by allowing but one
day for voting; by allowing voters to be
challenged at the polls, and by requIr'
ing each to vote in the township in
which he resides: They have thereby
already disfranchised thousands.
These are offenses Of serious charac.
ter in the estimation of the negro So
Ions. Henceforth they cannot vote I'M
challenged-they must vote in the dis
trict where they reside; and also be con-
tent with depositing one ballot ateach
election. For this curtailment Of their
liberties, they pray Congress to recon
struct the South generally, and North
Carolina in particular. We suppose
this proclamation will make portion
of General GRANTS forthcoming report
on the condition OF the South.

. negro Convention in Ohio.

The negro Republicans Of Ohio are
to have a State Convention at Columbus
on the 18th inst. for the purpose ofeffect-
ing such an organization as will make
their claims heard in the next nominal
ing convention of the Radical party.
Without doubt, the negroes saved the
day for the white Radicals in Ohio last
fall, and several of the delegates in Con-
gress from that State owe their election
directly to the negro vote. Thus hold
ing the balance Of power, it Is natural
that they should desire to share some
of the rewards of party devotion after
undergoing its labors. They are not dis
posed to serve any longer as "hewers Of
wood and drawers ofwater' for the white
politicians who have heretofore manip
ulated them and received their votes.
Having enjoyed the ballot, they demand
its consequent-office. 1t is therefore
not unlikely that, in another year,
dusky legislators will assemble at
Columbus, or negroes may sit in the
Constitutional Convention, framing
a fundamental law for the government
Of Ohio during the next thirty years.
Radicals may say, Well! what of it :?
Nothing. It's not our funeral and none
of our business. AS the old woman
said to the crow, We've had nothing
to do with getting up this meetin." If
you like the negroes as party candidates,
or filling the highest offices in
the State, 90 ahead. But are you
sure that majority Of the
white people will willingly submit
to the humiliation you invite? 1t
won't do in West Virginia. No mat
ter how sound O man may be on the
theory of negro suffrage and negro
office-holding, nor how complacently
he may think Of negroes making and
administering and interpreting laws in
South Carolina, no negro candidate
would receive enough white votes in
West Virginia to show that he was
running. West Virginia Radicals,
wrong as they are upon most political
questions, are tolerably sound on this.
They have swallowed negro suffrage
under compulsion, and with many a
wry face, but they have not yet been
educated up" or down, to the point
of nominating or voting for the colored
individual for important office. The
Intelhgencer still occupies missionary
ground" on thi important matter.

Consu,nption Can be Cured.

An Eastern medical periodical gives an
interesting account of the complete cure OF
Mrs. Amos Staufftr, of Manor, Lancaster
county, Pa, of Hereditary Consumption.
Her parents and several brothers and sisters
died of this terrible disease. Mrs. Stauffer
was herself reduced to Il mere skeleton, the
pulse at no, her breathing painfully difii-
cult, expectorations very excessive, Ill
arrhpa worse than chronic, and her con-
dition so hopeless that at conference OF
the old and skillful physicians she was pro-
nounced incurable. At this stage OF the
disease, DIR. s. b. Hartman, OF Millersville,
Lancaster county, Pa, physician OF four
teen years standing, prescribed MIsHLERs
HERB BITTERS. The patient soon expert
enced q pleasing invigorating sensation
throughout her system. and encouraged by
her friends to continue under Dr. Hartman's
treatment she did so, gradually improving
under increased doses according to her
strength until she entirely recovered. Mrs.
StaufIer is still living in the full enjoyment
of perfect health. c. b. Herr, Esq, Prcsi-
dent of the Lancaster county pa National
Bank, substantiates the particulars OF this
most Wonderful case.
