Be Guided BY what You Know

There isan old proverb which says, "Ex-
perience is the safest guide" To this guide
the sick and ailing naturally turn when
casting about for the means Of relief. They
inquire what medicine has done for others
before they adopt 1t themselves. or all the
remedies and preyentives in use, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bltters meets the test most
triumphantly, and hence its immense pop
ularity and vast sales. The sufferer from
indigestion Is sure to find some one among
his friends who has been cured of that all
ment by the famous vegetable stomachic.
The victim of fever and ague, liver COM
plant, constipation, nervous prostration,
or general debility, has only to make inquiry
in the neighborhood where he resides in
order to discover that this standard restora-
tive has effected in cases similar to his own.
In the published testimony to its merits he
will find volume Of proofs of its sanitary
properties, which 1t Is impossible for his
common sense to resist. He tries 1t, and the
effect IL produces on his system adds an
other to the host Of witnesses In its favor.
Thus, its reputation, founded on facts, not
assertions, continually grows and spreads.
Charlatans and imposters, some OF them
mere local tricksters, and others who take
q somewhat wider range, attempt to thrust
into the hands and down the Threats OF In
yalids, their haphaZard connections, as sub
stitutes for the tonic which for so many
years has been medicinal staple through
out the United States Spanish America,
Canada, and the West Indies, but only sue
coed to a very limited extent. In this
reasoning age, the people, having ascer-
fidence, decline running after strange

PITTSBURGH, VIRGINIA AND
CHARLESTON RAILROAD.

We find in the Pittsburgh Commercial
of Yesterday, a full report OF the pro-
ceedines Of q meeting: Of business men
held At the former Board Of Trade rooms
in Pitsburgh, last Saturday, in behalf
of the sfittsburg, Virgins & Charles
on Railroad" The project is to build a
railroad running almost directly south
from Pittsburg to Charleston, South
Carolina. 1t is to ascend the valley OF
the Monongahela river to tire West
Virginia line, cross the Baltimore q
Ohio railroad in the vicinity OF Grafton
and. proceeding directly, SOUTH cross
the chesapeake & Ohio railroad near
Lewisburg or the White Sulphur
SPRING.. Mr.. B. F. JosEs, President Of
the company, reported that a. large
amount of subscriptions to the capital
stock of the road had been received, but
that the people Of Pittsburgh did not
seem fully awake to the Importance Of
the enterprise and that too much apathy
prevailed to warrant the speedy build
ing Of the road. IlCN
Ex-Governor STEVENSON, Of West
Virginia, being present, was called
upon and delivered very interesting
speech concerning the resources Of that
section Of West Virginia through
which the projected road would pass.
Having travelled through the counties
along the line, be spoke from personal
knowledge of the existence Of iron ore
in large quantities, inexhaustible beds of
coal, and timber unequalled anywhere
upon the continent, exceptin California
He stated that West Virginia contains
fifteen thousand square miles Of coal
more than the State Of Pennsylvania,
and that one thirteenth OF the entire
coal field of the United States is within
the borders Of West Virginia. The
agricultural and stock raising value of
the southern portion of the State was
also referred to bv the Governor and the
advantages to be attained by both
Pittsburgh and West Virginia by the
construction of the contemplated rail-
road were very fully set forth.
Mr.. J. BRIsBlN WALKER, Of Charles
ton w. Va, was also present and brief
ly addressed the meeting.
We are glad to see that Governor
STEVENSON is exerting his personal in
fluence and talents in this direction.
Even if the proposed Pittsburgh and
Charleston road should never be built,
and Notwithstanding the immense
merits of the enterprise we see hope Of
its completion for many years, still the
Governors speech will do much good
in extending knowledge of the re-
sources of our State and informing the
outside world what elements Of wealth
are contained within our borders.

WHAT SUMNER THINKS
..... .t #. .glJ GRANT. -

In an interview with correspondent
OF the New York Herald last week,
Senator SUMNER expressed his opinion
Of GRANT very decidedly. He accused
the President of having usurped the
war power" and that for months past
"he has been infracting the constitu-
ton in the gravest manner, and his con-
duct is totally .indefensible." In reply
to the question whether he. thought
GRANT knew this, Mr.. SUMNER said;
He? What does Grant kno,o? He
doesn't knov anything, ser. lido not &C,
cuse him Of any knowledge ~haterer. Tie
is not a man capable of understanding
principles or Of grasping anything in a
comprehensive vie,o. He does not under
stand the primary elements Of the Consti-
tutional requirements Of war. AL he
kno,cs is hoo to execute Put him on a
horse and he'll blunder along somehow in
the field. There's .ohers his vocation
ends"
In this opinion MIR. SUMNER 10 sus-
tanned by large majority of the people
of the United States.
Concerning the annexation of San
Domingo, Mr.. SUMNEEtsaid:
Grant is certainly very anxious to
obtain possession of that island As to
his motives there is possibly variety Of
them. You cannot doubt has earnestness,
uohen, to accomplish his ends, lie grossly
SuJverts the Constitution Of his country. A
man is very much in earnest when, to
attain his object, he will break the laws.
Il The injustice
Of the whole proceeding is too glazing,
and the people OF this country too vir-
tuous to permit such an occurrence.
Recollect we live in an age where the
moral sentiments predominant, and
mankind are under their influence.
THE annexation Of San Domingo initiates
against the public sentiment, and is i'm
preqnated so strongly Nth the odor Of
"jobs" that President Grant and Mr..
Fish piH find themselves unable to attain
their oiskes in this respect. l do not
think the Island Of San Domingo ViW be
annexed 10 the United States. Ihave too
high an opinion Of the virtue and
justice Of the people 10 fear annexation.
This consideration is not entertained by
either Grant or the Secretary Of State.

WHAT SUMNER THINKS OF FISH.

Senator SUMNER seems to be terribly
in earnest in his opposition TO President
GRANT, Secretary FISH and the whole
Administration crew. Those sanguine
Radicals who have been hoping and
predicting that the difficulties would
soon be removed and the quarrel settled,
are manifestly doomed to disappoint-
ment. A correspondent Of the New
York Herald had an interview with the
irate Senator a few days ago and repre-.
sents Mr.. SUMNER as having spoken
with unusual bitterness and heat con-
corning the insults that have been put
upon him by Secretary FISH. He said:
aThe Secretary Of State has published
to the world that obstinately refused
to hold social intercourse with him. l
was to great pains to have it distinctly
and unequivocally conveyed toMr. Fish,
as coming directly from and personally
authorized by me, that on all matters
of official or public duty, courtesy or
intercourse, would meet the Secretary
of State in spirit Of the greatest har-
mony and cordiality. In all official
matters would cheerfully and earnest
ly cooperate with him. But it is true
that l decline, peremptorily decline, to
hold any social intimacy with him what
ever. Mr.. Fish took the opportunity,
without shadow Of cause or provocation,
to 20 out OF his way to gratuitously and
meanly insult me. There was not the
slightest justification for Mr.. Fish's
conduct in thus insulting me, and l
wish it distinctly understood thatI am
not the kind OF man to maintain social
relations with another after that other
has offered me vile and gross personal
indlgnity. And more Not satisfied
with insulting me, Mr.. Fish has as
meanly and upjustifably misrepresente,l
me. In the kindness of my heart, and
prompted solely by an earnest desire for
peace, l had said nothing about the
gratuitous and objectionable insult
offered me by Mr.. Fish, and the Secre-
tary of State, taking advantage of my
reticence, has grossly misrepresented me
and my position in the whole affair.
He did not possess nobility Of charae-
ter enough to understand my motives
for keeping silence, but thought it
good chance to clear himself by ma
ligning and incorporating me. He
has gone 80 far as to declare-if | may
apply a great term to little affair
that was the sggressor, and not him
self. He knows that to be false. This
entire trouble sho,os a psttiness Of character
and meannsss Of naotiue on the part Of
my assailmts--or on the part Of some Of
Aem-aJsolutely dcspicable. 1t is a
petty piece of business on their part,

1.-THE REPUBLICAN REPORT on
FINANCE"

The MtelHgencer of yesterday morn
ing gives currency to very nonsensical
story about the action Of the State SEN
ate upon a report of a minority OF the
committee on Finance. The facts in
the case, which are widely at variance
with the MtelEgencer'S version, are as
follows: Two reports were presented
by the joint committee on Finance; the
majority report was adopted and that of
the minority rejected. Subsequently,
the majority Of the committee presented
a supplemental report, which was fol-
lowed by supplemental report of the
minority. On the night before ad-
journment these supplemental reports
were taken from the table and the
minority report was adopted, MIR.
BAKER voting in the affirmative,
as has been correctly stated, for
the purpose Of moving reconsidera-
ton. On Thursday morning, imme-
diately after roll call in the Senate, a
quorum being present and Senator
GOLD being in the Chair, Mr.. BAKER
moved a reconsideration of the vote by
which the supplemental minority re-
port on Finance had been adopted.
That motion ,0as carried, quorum Of the
Senate being present and voting, as the
journal Of the tSenats ,oiH shoU, and as
will be testified to by Mr.. GoLp who
was in the Chair, Mr.. MOORE, who was
clerk Of the Senate, or by any other
honest Republican who was present.
All this, which only occupied few
minutes, took place before 8 o'clock, as
indicated by Senator SCorT's watch
1t was after this vote had been taken
and the reconsideration ordered, that
the Senator from Richie began his
mysterious fiibustering and talking
against time. The adoption of the ma
jority supplemental report on Finance
was not attempted and the only effect
Of Mr.. Scorr's oratory was to delay the
presentation Of the report Of the COM
mittee on enrolled bills, and that of the
committees that had been appointed to
notify the Governor and the House
of the readiness of the Senate to ad-
journ. What particular advantage
either he or the Radical party ex-
pected to gain by preventing the
presentation Of these reports is as diff
cult to understand as was his own in
imitable report..ou Finances and, after
he had talked up to within few min
utes Of the time of adjournment, he
was declared out of order; the commit
tee on Enrolled Bills made its report
and the Senate adjourned. The hands
OF the clock in the Senate chamber
and also in the House Of Delegates, had
been turned back about twenty min
utes in order to give the COM
mittees time to enroll the last
bills passed and make their report. The
reconsideration Of what the Intelligence
terms "the Republican report on
finances had been already accom-
plished, and in reply to the assertion
that no quorum was present, it is suffi-
cient to suggest that, in that case, the
Senator from Richie certainly placed
himselfin an even more ridiculous po-
sition than he really did, BY his brilliant
attempt 10 consume the time OF the
Senate rg al7.aF F@-

IT now appears that in June last
Senator SUMNER was offered the Eng
lish mission ia order to get him out OF
the Senate and thus avoid his OPPOSE
ton TO the San Domingo job. SUMNER
rejected the bride with some degree OF
indignation and from that date the war
upon him commenced. He afterwards
refused to speak TO Secretary FISH at
a dinner party given BY General
SCHENCK.
