The Purest and Safest.

The efficacy OF Hostetter's Celebrated
Stomach Bitters as specific for recruiting
the enfeebled body and cheering the de-
spending mind, has passed into proverb.
In the United States, where this marvellous
tonic has borne down all opposition, and
eclipsed allrivalry, the demand for It has
annually increased in a heavier and heav-
Ter ratio for years, until, at last, the regular
sales of this preparation exceed those Of all
other stomachics combined. Eminent men,
bers Of the medical profession and hospital
surgeons without number, have candidly
admitted that the pharmacopnia Of the fac
ulty contains no prescription that produces
such beneficial effects in dyspepsia, general
debility and nervous diseases, as Hostetter's
Bitters. To use the language OF venerable
physician CT New York, 1.-THE Bitters are
the purest stimclant and the safest tonic we
have" But the uses of the great vegetable
antidote are much more comprehensive
than such praise would imply. AS pre-
paratory antidote TO epidemic disease, a
genial stimulat, a promoter OF constitu-
tional vigor, an appetizer, a stomachic, and
a remedy for nervous debility, no medicinal
preparation has ever attained the reputa-
ton of Hostetter's Bitters. 1t is the house
hold tonic of the American people, and In
all human probability will be for centuries
to come. The magnates OF science recognize
Its merits; and that 1t is emphatically the
medicine of the masses, is proven BY its
vast and ever increasing sales.

A Determined Voter.

A New Hampshire paper tells OF a
gallant Democrat of that State who de-
serves to be immortalized. 1t says
On the evening before election, Mr..
John w. Lyon, of Bath, a brakeman on
the Montreal road, expecting to turn
back at Wells river, found himself
compelled to 60 on to Plymouth, where
he arrived at eight o'clock. Had he
accepted the situation he would have
been unable to get home in time to
vote; but he didn't. Without stopping
for cold bite even, Mr.. L. got a hand
car and, by clear muscle, propelled him.
self over forty. eight miles Of track, part Of
it on an ascending grade Of eighty-ive
feet to the mile, till he reached home at
l:30 o'clock. On learning the facts his
friends turned out of their beds and
gave him a hot oyster supper, and that
day one more ballot for James A. Yves
ton was the result Of the indomilable
energy exhibited by. Mr.. Lyon. II is
this spirit that has carried our party
through years Of defeat to final victory.

MILITARY DESPOTISM.

SHELLABARGERs bill for the suppress
sion of disorder in the South is not
only stride toward military despotsm
it establishes a despotism at once.
1t gives the President power to declare
martial law in any State and to employ
the army against allwhosma offend,
without waiting for the action OF State
Legislatures OF the requisition OF State
Governors. What more can an abso-
lutte monarch do? The lives and prop
erty Of the citizens OF the United
States are, by this bill, placed in the
sole and arbitrary power of the ,Presl-
dent; he is made Emperor in fact, with
out any constitutional limitation.
We nave no idea or expectation that
the bill will be passed or become a law
in its present shape. Foolish and
fanatical as many OF the Radical men,
bers of Congress are, it is hardly to be
supposed that they will put their own
necks so completely under the heel
of the despot, p, as would be the
case if SHELLABARGsRs proposition
were carried out. Their idea probably
is to start with an extreme measure in
the hope that when it is softened down
and restricted by amendment it may
still be more of an eneroachment upon
the Liberties Of the people than could
be passed, except as a compromise.
But the present bill i an outrage which,
if the Congress was animated by the
liberty-loving spirit Of former days and
held its oath to support the Constitution
as sacred, would result in the pnnish-
ment Of the guilty wretch who dared to
offer it for consideration. Imagine
what WEBSTER, or CLAY, or CALHOUN,
or BENTON or any other Of the states
men Of the past generation would have
thought and said when a bill was in
troduced for the subversion OF the Con-
stitution of the United States and for
clothing the President with kipgly
powers. -. ..r.E ......r

Dick Turpin Alive Again.

One of the most exciting events since
the war, occurred over in Randolph
county few days ago. 1t seems that
a valuable horse had been stolen from
Mr.. James Farnsworth, Of Gilmer
county, and two men started in pursuit
of the thief. They tracked the animal
to Weston, ami then to Buckhannon,
where they secm ed the assistance OF an
exrebel soldier named Brake. They
then pushed on towards Beverley, and
at Mingo Flats they came in view OF
the stolen horse and its rider. Then
commenced a regular steeple-chase /;
but the pursuers were too quick fer the
pursued, and coming pretty close to
him, told him to halt or they would
shoot. For an answer the man drew
out navy six-shooter and fired two
or three shots, but hurt no one Mr..
Brake then spurred up, and coming
closer, fired once or twice, his shots TAX
ing no effect, but the thief replied by
shooting his prosecutor through the right
hand. Brake then went for him, and
getting him off the horse, thrust the
muzzle of revolver into his bosom and
pulled the trigger, but unfortunately it
had been discharged. The man then
jumped over bank, and getting behind
a log, reloaded, and in a few minutes
was firing again, and after quite fusil-
ade, he escaped to the brush, and that
was the last Of him. 1t is supposed,
however, that some OF the parting shots
took effect, and that he was seriously,
ifnot MORALLY wounded Weston Demo,

The Tribune has a way of its own
when freeing its mind. For instance
the following.
Senators awoke yesterday to the
stupidity Of their mistake, the day be-
fore, in attempting to bawl Mr.. Sumner
down; withdrew their opposition and
allowed his resolutions on San Domingo
to be presented and day to be fixed for
his speech on them. Probably it will
be some time before Senator shall
again think it needful to convert him
self into sort of human Calliope, by
way of silencing an opponent and sup
porting the Administration" -
Clearly the Tribune is inviting the
wrath OF some organ" whose sole idea
is TO have no opinions and follow with
its nose within reach of some leader
lice nsed to twist and pull It at will III

rom the New York SUM-

From the New York SUM-
Rafrsad Kinss-A sketch Of ONE OF
the Coming Monarchs- q
The election of Thomas A. Scott, OF
Pennsylvania, to the Office Of President
of the Union Pacific railroad is an
event Of far-reaching significance. MI.
Scott is becoming a very important man
in political point Of view. He may
exercise an almost decisive influence
over the next Presidential election. He
has long been at the head Of the Penn
sylvania Central railroad, with capital
Of fifty millions of dollars, welding q
political influence which generally regu-
iates thecourse oflegslationin that State.
Only few days ago member Of the
Pennsylvania House Of Representatives
rose and. said that IF Tom Scotth had no
further. business with the Legislature he
moved that they now adjourn.
Mr.. Scott also controls the Pittsburgh
& Fort Wayne railroad, which connects
Pittsburgh and Chicago. and has great
power 10 Ohio and Indiana. He has
his hand on the great Northwestern
line, which unites Chicago and Omaha,
and forms with his other roads an un-
broken connection between the. Atlantic
and Pacific. He likewise holds under
his thumb the Columbus, Chicago q
Indiana Central, with connections which
make a route across Indiana and ILL
nois, and extend his operations TO St.
Louis and Missouri. Here in the East,
too, he has the New Jersey Central in
his pocket, and is bargaining for the
| important line formed by the Camden
& Amboy and New Jersey railroad,
connecting New York and Philade[
phia. 1t is also said that he is Likely
soon to acquire the newly chartered
Southern Pacific. .
Railroad corporations form COM
paratively new but most important po-
iitical engine in this country. They
elect Legislatures and Governors and
rule States. Their power is constantly
on the increase. Its capacities and the
wass of directing them are becoming
bettef understood, and strong men grow
bold and reckless in their use. This
power is likely to be more felt in the
next Presidential election than it has
ever been before. . 1t is difficult to fix
the limits of the part which Thomas A.
Scott NAV play in selecting the next oc-
cupant OF the White House.

GRANT As A KU-kLUX.

Senator SUMNER has found out at
last who is the chief of the mysterious
Ku-Klux Khan. 1t 10 no other than
the veritable HIRAM, the Tanner"
now President Of the United States.
In his recent terrible arraignment of
President GRANT before the bar Of the
people, Mr.. SUMNER declared that 1.-The
President had p laced himself at the head
Of more po,Oertnl and costly Ru-Rtur
than those in the South" He further
declared. that "if the President had
been 30 inspired as to bestow on South
ern Unionlsts, white and black, one
half the time in zeal, with pei.
sonal attention and personal interces'
sion which he has bestowed upon his
attempt to obtain half an island in the
caribbean Sea, our Southern Ku-Klux
would have existed in name only,
while tranquility would have reigned
everywhere within our boundaries.
Now as / desire the suppression of the
Ku-Klux wherever it shows itself, and
the elevation Of the African race Il in
sist that the Presidential scheme .ohich
instals the Ku,Kur on tie coasts Of San
Domingo, and which insults the African
race in the Black Republic, shall be
fairly represented. Ispeak now Of that
KuRzuz ofwhieh the President is the de-
elusd head, and l speak for the African
race, whom the President has trampled
down. Is there any Senator IN earnest
aqairs. the Ku-KA1r, let him arrest it on
the eoas of San Domingo. Isthere any
Senator ready at all times to seek the
elevation of the African race, here is
occasion for his best Efforts
The Presidents usurpation OF the
war power in violation OF the express
terms of the Constitution Of the United
States, is much aggravated in Mr.. Sum
NER's estimation because it was directed
against the government Of Hayti. Had
his Excellency seen fit to order an act Of
war against Great Britain or France, it
could hardly have stirred such deter
mined and bitter resentment in the
mind OF the Senator from Massachusetts

The Daily Evening Times. a spirited
Democratic journal Of Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, furnishes this account
of some of the election incidents in that
State: -aa
The Democracy rallied with more
confidence than heretofore. while the
Republicans appeared to instInctively
realize their impending defeat. Some
OF the staunchest Of them took but little
interest remained inactive, or apologiz-
edforth their political wickedness Several
did not vote at all, and many only under
protest. All seemed to feel as if the
days OF the Republican party were
numbered. The quarrels at Washing
ton, the heavy taxation, the fraud. ex-
travagance. and corruption, exerted a
depressing and demoraliziug influence.
On the contrary, the Democrats were
correspondingly elated, and on election
day went to work with will to in
crease the usual majority. In this they
were successful, and made a net gain of
TWENTY-FIVE over last year. A noticea.
BILE feature of the day was the unanim-
ity of the young men. OF ten new
voters, nine voted the Democratic ticket,
comprising some of the finest and best
educated young men in town. -s
