TUE NEXT ArPoRTIoNMENT-THE CENSUS
The House Judiciary Committee is
waiting for the complete official popula.
tion summaries Of States and territories
before reporting the apportionment bill.
the main features Of which have been
agreed upon, being the one proposed by
Judge Mercer The Census Bureau Is
greatly delayed by the failure to receive
the returns from South Carolina. Owing
10 the disturbed political condition Of the
States and defects In the law, the bureau
having no power over the assistant mar.
Shals, either to appoint them or to punish
them for incomplete orfraudulcnt returns,
has had much to do with this delay.
There have been complaints brought
against the bureau for alleged incomplete.
ness Of the returns in various localities.
These complaints all appear to
be founded on the partial state
ments furnished by the marshals to the
newspapers, and accepted by the public
as official. These returns, when exam.
ined by the census official here, have often
been found 10 be very far from accurate,
50 that In some cases II las been necessary
To make the enumeration second time,
causing much delay and trouble. The
delays in the South are largely due 10 the
appointment by marshals Ot improper
persons as assistant nlarshals and enumer-
ators, and In many cases these officers
were ignorant negroes, who did not dare
TO 90 into the districts, and during. the
day some Of them llave been detected
pawning their blanks and certificates for
liquor Superintendent General Walker
did not discover that any sub divisions
were missing until an attempt was made
In the Office here TO make up the tables,
and then II required much time to asCer.
tain why the report Ind not been made,

Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day
about two and half pounds of bile,
which contains great amount of waste
material taken from the blood. When the
liver becomes torpid or congested, it
fails 10 eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance, which, therefore,
remains to poison the blood and be
conveyed to every part OF the system,
What must be the condition of the
blood when it is receiving and retain
ing each day two and half pounds of
poison Nature tries to work off this
poison through other channels and or
gans--the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc, !;
but these organs become overtayed in
performing this labor, in addition to
their natural functions, and cannot
long withstand the pressure, but be-
come variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great cleo
trical centre of all vitality, IS unduly
stimulated by the unhealthy blood
which passes to it from the heart, and
it fails to perform its Office healthfully.
Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning,
which are dutlness, headache, inca
pacity to keep the mind on any sub
ject. impairment OF memory, dizzy,
sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy
forebodings and irritabllity Of temper.
The blood Itself being diseased, as it
forms the sweat upon the surface Of the
skin, 1t is so irritating and poisonous
that it produces discolored brown
spots, pimples, blotches and other
eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and
scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bow
els, and other organs spoken of, cannot
escape becoming affected, sooner or Ia
ter, and costiyeness, piles, dropsy, dys-
pepsia, diarrhea, female weakness, and
many other forms Of chronic disease,
are among the necessary results. As
remedy for all these various manifesto
tions of disease, DR., Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery Is positively I'M
eaualed. BY it the liver and stomach
are changed to an active, healthy state
the appetite regulated and restored,
the blood and secretions thoroughly
purified and enriched, and the whole
system renovated and puilt up anew

Startling Revelations.
From the indianapolis journal, 9th inst

We present the readers OF the Jour
the recent murders and lynchings in
Clark county, together with many facts
that may lead To the detection, arrest
and punishment of the guilty parties
IL has been evident for some time that
the officers of the localities where the
bloody tragedies have been enacted are
utterly powerless to enforce the law.
Whether their ineificiency results from
their ignorance and stupidity, or is
caused by the influence of the barbar-
ians who have shocked the sensibilities
of the nation and disgraced our State
by their savage practices, makes little
or no difference. The result is the same,
and the arm of the law is paralyzed by
the prevalent mohocratic spirit that
seems to bear undisputed sway through
out the county. We determined to do
what we could to learn more of the
truth in relation to the recent horrid
butcheries in that region, and present
the result of our efforts in the report of
our special correspondent, published
in our columns this morning. In order
to facilitate his work our correspondent
provided himself with a letter accredit
ing him IA the correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, BY means ofthis
high Endorsement he was enabled to es-
tablish the most intimate and coutiden-
tial relations with several prominent
Democrats of the county, from whom
he learned most of the facts stated in
his communication He gives the story
of the celebrated "Johnson's confess
sion, with full particulars of the man
ner in which it was wruug from the
wretched man, as he learned them from
one who was present at the time, and
who now declares his belief in TIE in
noceuce of the negroes who were hung
by the mob. He conversed with mem
bers OF the Grand Jury who refused to
lndlct the negroes upon the evidence,
and some of whom, it is charged, assist
ed at the horud orgies of the miscre.
ants who tortured and murdered them.
Altogether, it forms one of the blood
lest and most disgracetul chapters in
the history Of our State and we again
warn the paralyzed and cowardly min,
listers of the law in Clark county that
If they do not bestir themselves to
punish these crimes, apower strong and
intelligent enough to accomplish what
It undertakes will assume the perform
ancc OF the neglected task.
