Since the exposure OF the attempts made by
certain INSCRIPTIONS local dealers, to palm of
their coarse astriugents, made from cheap and
impure materials, in the place Of the great ma
tional tonic, HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, public
opinion has set strongly against these empires
and the IT preparations. Their occupation is gone,
or soon with be. When the light is let into decep-
ton it soon willis down. Persons who trife with
their own health, by using unknown prepare
tons, with no guarantee TO sustain them, when
an established specific, proven by twenty years
experience to be exactly what it is claimed TO be,
is within their reach, are sure TO repent their
temsrty Many have done so in this instance,
but it is hoped that the truth plainly spoken has
arrested the evil. In the meantime the demand
for the leading protective and restorative medi-
cine OF America was never so great as it has been
this season. From the fever and ague districts
of the West. Southwest, and South, 1t is literally
overwhelming, and il may be said of the adyices
from all parts of the country of the cures it is
effecting in dyspepsia, bilious complaints, and
chronic constipation, that 'their name is legion"
Everywhere the sick and feeble seem to have re-
allied the importance of 'holding fast that
which is good, and of avoiding what is spurious
and dangerous.

THE NEW MOVEMENT.
Voice from Old Wilson.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
"THE REUNION AND REFORM HSsoCIA-
TIoN."
l was much pleased with, and fully en-
dorse the views and sentiments in the edit
orial which appeared in your issue of the
Sth inst, in reference to the "Reunion and
Reform Association" attempted to be gotten
up in the city of Nashville few days ago.
1t is undeniably true, that there are or can
be but two political parties in this country.
The Radical, or Republican party, who adj
vocate the reelection Of Grant, and who
sustain the leading measures Of his admin
istration; the National Democratic party,
who advocate retrenchment and reform iney-
cry branch and department Ofthe public ser
vice, and a strict adherence to the COnstitu-
ton and the laws. Now, it occurs to my
mind, that any effort in Tennessee or else
where, to get new or third political party,
call it by whatever name you choose to call
it, would be a lame and impOtent affair.
Ii is true the 'ERe-Union and Reform AssO-
CATION sounds very pleasingly to the ear,
aud the manifesto issued by this wOuld-be
Association, few days ago, contains some
"glittering generalitiesn and high-sounding
declarations, which are calculated to deceive
and decoy the unthinkingy yet when sitted it is
simply 'moonshine and muddy water" If
the project was either feasible or desirable
at this important juncture of time, there
might be some apology for the eccentric
conduct of these dissenters from the true
faith; but 1 apprehend no sane man will
entertain the idea for one moment, that
such "thing" can result in any permanent
good. No candid Democrat or Conserva-
rive, North or South, will for one moment
controvert the proposition, that it
will require vigorous, united
and harmonious campaign on the
part of the National Democratic and Con-
sentative party, to prevent the reelection of
Grant. Why then fritter away our strength
and energies in local dissentionS
and glttering departures" Let us
work together in union and harnO-
ny in the coming campaign, and wrest from
the hands of the cOrroptioniSts and despOit-
ers, the constitution of the country, and the
liberties of the people. 1t is enough to say,
thai the ''Reunion and Reform Associa-
tiOu," has no supporters in this quarter, and
know whereof speak. WILSON.

THE TREAsURER's REPORT.
Card from DIR. Morrow.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
In your edition of yesterday you give my
statement that there is disagreement in
reports of Comptroller and Treasurer as to
amounts on hand, but do not give my ex-
PLANTATION. 1t is caused by the former charg-
ing to the latter the sum of $145,60l.52
which was in the hands of the preceding
Treasurer, J. f. Rust, May 81, 1870, but
not turned over by him when he went out
of office to his successor; and upon which
suit has been brought by the State against
said Rust.
When this sum is credited on the books
of the Comptroller perfect accord exists be-
tween accounts in Comptroller and Treas
urer's office. The present Treasurer having
received no moneys from Mr.. Rust, of
course receipted for nothing and charged
myself with nothing.

THE much-talked of overthrow of the
famous column in the Place VendOme does
not seem to have involved any serious de
structiOn of property. A competent archi-
tect estimates the cost of its restoration,
precisely as it stood before, at a tritle over
fifty thousand dollars. This appears incred-
ible. But the prOstratiOn of the column
only injured ten of the two hundred and
seventy-four bronze plates CT which its ex
terror is composed, and these require but
comparatively slight repairs. A few bars of
the balustrade and some pieces of the capi-
tai have disappeared; but these can he east
" replaced.

Journal. threw his sweetheart from a pi-
azza and broke her leg in three places. He
was arrested and gave bail to appear, but
the girl hid herself and would not appear
against him. He was re-arrested few
days ago, and the girl was found in Troy,
but she said that nothing in the world would
induce her ''to give her lover awayn-or, in
plain English, bear witness against him.

n A Shad Story.


"He came into the breakfast room one morn
ing, and it was seen that cloud was on his
brow. There sat a lady-like wife, waiting for
him; the table fairly groaned, not with plated
silver, but the solid material. The cloth was
white as snow; the family were seated around
in pleasant expectancy; everything was smoking
hot, and not an article there but even pamper-
ed appetite could revel on But the mans favor
lite dish was not there. Closer he came to the
table, and with the inquiry, Did you not know
that wanted a shad for my breakfast ? he rails
ed his foot and over turned the whole table on
the floor 1t was at the fire being kept warm
for YOU replied his noble wife, in her quiet,
iady'lke and conquering way. In an instant
the naughty husband comprehended the situa-
ton, the next he was on his knees enchanting,
Dear wife, you are nothing less than an angel
born Not a great while after that he died.
His will was opened; his wife was execu-
ter; he left her all he had-S2 100000" The
above touching story is from an article in a
recent number of Halls Journal Of Health The
man who can read it without dying and leaving
his wife 100000, is brute, and the woman
who can read it without forthwith buying a
shad, is a dove not up to the wisdom of serpents
1t Is said that on the day this story appeared in
New York, some 10000 more shad were sold
than on any other preceding day since the trade
in that fish was first inaugurated. Broad way,
Fifth Avenue, and other OF the prominent high
ways, were one mass of women and shad
