SPECIAL NOTICE S.
HANGAR Ahead

a single spark may kindle a flame that
will consume city, and small ailments
neglected, may end in fatal disorders.
Bearing this fact in mind, let the first symp-
toms OF debility or nervous prostration be
met promptly with invigorating treatment.
Foremost among the vegetable tonics OF the
age stands Hostetters Stomach Bitters, and
whenever the vital powers seem to Ian
euish, or there is any reason to suspect that
the animal functions essential TO the sus-
tenation and publication OF the body are
numerically performed this invaluable in
yigorant and antiSeptic should ut once be
reSorted to. Indigestion always produces
weakness of the bodily powers. sometimes
il happens that the appetite demands more
food than the stomach can digest though
not more, perhaps, than is required to keep
up the full strength OF the bodily frame.
The object, under such circumstances, Is 10
increase the digestive capacity OF the assm-
Hating organ, so as to make II equal 10 the
duty imposed upon il by the appetite, and
capable of supplying the building material Of
he xIStem as fast rs ii is required. This OBJ
iect Is fully accomplished by the use of the
Bitters. They tone and gently stimulate
the cellular membrane which secretes the
gastric Juice, and the result Is that the sol
vent is mingled with the food in sufficient
quantity TO convert all its nourishing partt-
Giles into pure and wholesome element. If,
on the other hand, there is a deficiency Of
appetite, without any corresponding def
cheney OF digestive power, the effect Of the
tonic is to stimulate Il desire for food. In
nineteen cases out OF twenty, headache,
nausea, nervousness, fainting-tits, spasms,
and, indeed. most of the casual aches and
pains to which humanity Is subject, pro-
coed primarily from indigestion compli-
Gated with biliousneS; and for both these
complaints Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are
recommended as a speedy and certain rem

DEMONSTRATIONS FINANCES.

One effect Of placing the southern
State. entirely in the hands OF the non
ta1-paying blacks is the creation oil
debts that will burden those States for
many years, if they are ever paid. In
South Carolina, owing to fraudulent
and excessive expenditures, an enormous
debt has been created, for the payment
of which the negro Legislature has au-
rborized the issue Of several series OF
bonds. The property holders and tax
pavers of many counties Of the State
have already held meetings for protest,
and warn the holders of the bonds that
their issue has been illegal and their
payment will be refused. A State Con-
vention for the same purpose Is to be
held next May and full notice Is to be
given that the bonds are not considered
lawful and that their redemption will
never be authorized. In other South
.rn States, the same condition OF
financial affairs is found. In Florida
the negroes have levied taxes this year
amounting to nearly Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars upon a valuation OF
the total real and personal property
that is less than Thirty-fve Millions,
and it is not likely that all the negroes
in the State will pay in the aggregate
moro than Five Thousand Dollars OF
this enormous tax. And so 1t goes
The members of the Legislature, the
State officers, and even the whole Rad
ical party in any Of the States OF the
South, owning comparatively little prop
erty, have been reckless in the imposi'
ton OF taxes and extravagant in wasting
the public funds They seem to have
considered that the taxpayers are
mainly their political foes, and hence
they have endeavored to CRAFTY their
political hostility while they ministered
to their private greed, by stealing
from the treasury and imposing
heavy taxes to make good the
sums distracted by theft They
consider it eminently loyal to impov'
erish the people, and have adopted a
plan Of systematic, Legislative robbery,
in order to convince the ax-payers that
this is "the best government the world
ever saw" and that their only safety
consists in giving an unanimous support
TO the Radical ticket.

AN indication of the popular sentl-
ment in England concerning the "neu-
trality" preserved in that country dur
ing the recent French and Prusslan
war, is found in the fact that one hun
dred and twenty thousand copies of the
brochure entitled THE Fight at Dame
Europa's School," were sold in a single
month. The satire is an admirable one
and exhibits the conduct Of "the English
Boy" in the light in which it is viewed
not only by the great mass Of the Eng
lish people themselves, but by the civil
lied world at large. 1t is a significant
fact, which may be mentioned in this
connection, that when a vote OF thanks
TO Switzerland, Belgium and Great
Britain was recently proposed in the
French Assembly, the resolution as to
the first two was adopted unanimously
while that az to Great Britain was de-
risively voted down. England has
earned no thanks from any one for her
neutrality. The satire referred to above
is published in this country by Messrs'
CLAYTON, REMsEN and HAFFELFINGER,
of Philadelphia, and is sold in Wheeling
bv GRAVES.

representations Of the civil authorities
Of the State of Mississippi have been
treated with contemptuous disregard.
The Ku-Klux bill, now under consid-
Grafton in Congress, is only designed,
outrageous as it's provisions are, TO give
the President that authority which he
has already assumed in advance. 1t is
an authority greater than that possessed
by any English monarch since the days
of CHARLES the First. To say that it is
unconstitutional is merely the idle dec
laration OF fact the constitution is no
longer regarded as a barrier to the en-
croachments of power; there Is no
longer any magic in its name. Usurpa-
ton is the order of the day, and even
acts of Congress, be they constitutional
or not, are no longer regarded as neces-
sary to government. The Congress
may as well dispense at once, and let
General GRANT conduct the affairs OF
the nation, even as he already does, ac-
cording to his sovereign will.

Gently ordered troops to Mississippi,
without requisition or request from
either the Governor or the Legislature
of the State Upon the unsupported
statement Of an Assistant Assessor Of
Internal Revenue, the soldiers Of the
United States have been sent to suppress
alleged disturbances which are viola
tons Of State as well as Federal laws,
and which the State authorities have
distinctly declared themselves abundant
ly able to punish. 1t must be remem-
bered that the State Government
of Mississippi has been reconstructed;
that it is thoroughly Radical; that its

the term, and that it has until very re-

Federal interference was necessary in
order to enable him to preserve the
