Cure Of Consumption.

The cure OF n disease Of consumptivc
kind necessarily prompts doubt in the
mind, as most people have been taught 10
believe it of an incurable nature, and as
long as this is believed to be the case, pcopl
will be 10th to do anything for its RELIEF
rather trusting to the merciful doings o.
nature than to bad doctoring. DR.. keyser
reports two well marked cases Of pulmonary
disease, one on Liberty street, and the other
in Manchester; both these persons, II ap-
piled to, will subsiantiate the facts In n way
so forcible as to put all doubt out Of the
question; yet with all this, people daily
yield up their lives to the fell destroyer, ac-
counting themselves vanquished at the
first approach Of the disease. What we say
TO persons of a consumptive habit, or with
the disease fastened on their system, is tina

Burning and Shaking.

By q ridiculous misapplication of lam
guage, invalids are sometimes said to enjoy
avery poor health" but il Is not on record
that any human being was ever spoken of
as enjoying chills and fever. And yet there
the other of the two stages of the disorder,
who might just as well have avoided 1t as
not. II there is anything demonStrabie in
therapeutics, it is that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is an antidote to intermittent fevers.
No instance can be cited in which it has
been taken, either as safeguard against
this class of diseases or as a remedy for
them, and filled to produce the desired
effect. The season when malarious fevers
are rife has commenced, and no inhabitant
of any district subject TO their visitations
should be without this great preventive
protection against all the ailments which
prevail in the spring months. From marsh
and pool, and from all moist soils, are now
rising the mephitic elements which give
birth to fever, indigestion, biliousness,
COLES, and a whole host OF epidemic and
other maladies. Aid the system to resist
them. Energize and regulate all the animal
functions with this reinforcing agent. This
precaution is as necessary in cities as in
new settlements, for malarious fevers are
now almost as common in the great centres
Of population as on the borders OF the
southern bayous and marshes and the rich
agricultural regions Of the West. The pre-
yentive and remedy Is accessible to all.
Who will be unwise enough to brave reck-
lessly the danger It would avert?

The total current expenses and pay
ments for the year 1870, including ex-
penses created by the flood, were $247, :

looks forward with anxiety to the early
completion Of the Western MARYLAND
railroad to Williamsport, when it is ex-
pected a valuable and productive inter-
change Of business, beneficial alike to
the interests of the canal and railroad,
will take place at that point The
usual winter repairs are now being
made, together with some heavy repairs
in masonry, at a number Of locks on
the Georgetown, Monocacy, Antietam,
Hancock and Cumberland divisions, as
also the rebuilding of the Williams
port aqueduct and the construction of
two new bridges over the canal, to-

ably, and it is expected the line will he

From the ParkerSburg Times, 18th /.
A Word Of Warning.

We fear that at no distant day We
shall have to record disasters occurring
on our railroad bridge. There were
already several indications of such ca
lamities, in two cases, only kind Provi.
dence preventing them. Though it was
our plain duty to record the events, and
warn the authorities Of the impending
dangers, we rather kept silent than to
be, though baselessly, accused of any
improper motive in mentioning undis-
putab!e facts. But forbearance, at last,
ceases to be virtue, when the lives OF
the public are in danger.
1t is the opinion of intelligent rail.
road builders that the curve from the
upper terminus of the railroad bridge
should never have been made; that
straight track is necessity. Why
that curve, which is too short, was
made to the daily danger Of all the
trains, is more than, we suppose, can be
aris'actorily explained. There was
danger at the terminus last night,
which was fortunately averted, but
Keeping the employees busy until mid
night.
The very efficient agent of the Rail-
road Com any, Mr. W. W. Clement, is
day and night at his post, watching
with unceasing care over the safety OF
the trains: he, however, cannot remedy
evils and avert dangers caused by a
part Of a track not properly built. Our
citizens are anxious for the safety Of al!
the trains running upon the shortest
route, as it is to their own interest that
this route should remain the great
thoroughfare connecting our, Eastern
States with the West. Butwhere causes
o. dangers can be removed they have
right to expect their most speedy re-
moval, which, they confidently hope,
will be done without the least delay.

Repeal of the Registry Law.

The amendment of the Code in re-
lation to elections 10y the people and the
complete repeal Of those provisions OF
the law which related to the reglstra-
ton of voters make new era in the
history Of the State. A registration law
is not necessarily an unmixed evil but
such law as has been heretofore en-
forced in West Virginia has no palli-
alton or excuse 1t did not guard the
ballot box from unlawful voting; it was
not framed for any such purpose. 1t
did not protect the purity OF elections,
nor did elections under it always repre-
sent the will OF those who were legally
qualified to vote. 1t simply placed in
the hands Of three men in each county
absolute and irresponsible control over
the SURFACES Of their fellow citizens, and
made those three the sole and final
judges Of every mans right In the
exercise OF the discretion with which
they were vested, they admitted to the
ballot box men who were disqualified by
the law, and excluded many whose right
10 vote was as perfect and indefeashle
rs their own. ...- -rr..-
The law was made the engine and
excuse for all sorts OF abuses. A con
stitutional provision that mo person ex-
cept citizens eutitled to vote shall be
elected or appointed to any office" was
construed to mean that the person
elected or appointed must be a registered
voter, thus giving the registrar power
not only to exclude the citizen from
voting, but also, arbitrarily, to render
him ineligible to Office. Officers who
had been duly elected by the people an!
had entered upon the discharge OF their
official duties, were, in some instances,
afterwards stricken from the list Of
vote IS by the irresponsible three, and a
subservient Judge pronounced them
disqualified and ousted them from the
positions to which they had been legally
chosen by those who were permitted to
vote Di.franchisement, even by the
wbim of the registrar or to crafty his
personal spleen, was held BY many to
deprive the victim Of civil rights and

GrOundless Objections.

Objections are sometimes raised against
certain medicines on the ground that they
cureso many different diseases. mo-
ment's reflection will expose the shallow
ness of such an argument, for there Is
scarcely a medicinal drug of any kind that
is not used for more than one disease. The
reason why MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS
cures so many diseases is because 1t is the
best remedy ever discovered for deranged
stomach, or Dyspepsia, and BECAUSE 1t In
vigorates the entire system, strengthens the
nervous fibres, elevates the standard OF all
the vital forces, and sustains most health
full tone of the entire human organism.
Medicine that will do this will cure any dis
ease, for the supple reason that nature will
do the rest. 1t is a sure protection against
disease, and if the Importance OF protective
medication were generally understood, no

Hon. Henry G. Davis.

DANIEL DoNEHoo, Esq, member Of
the House of Delegates from Hancock
county, has written to the Hancock
county Courier a description OF the re-
cent legislative excursion, prefacing his
account of the trip with the following
sketch of Hon. II. &. DAVIS:
He is a man Of about As years OF
age, OF medium height, and rather
sauarely built; of dark complexion, and
with phrenologically well shaped and
balanced head, covered with a growth
Of as shining black hair as ever grew
on a Senators Uranium. His muscles
and nerves are almost the perfection Of
what gives to the fortunate possessor Of
the like, those powers Of endurance so
seldom found nowadays in the human
family. Add to all this, the iron will
and indomitable energy of the smiling
Senator" and the problem, if such it
may happen to be called by some,
how in the name Of Webster and Clay,
did Henry G.. Davis ever reach the pc.
stion which entities him to say, if
Webster, and Clay, and Calhoun, and
Wright, were living, and occupying seats
in the most august aseemblages known
to this earth, the Senate of the United
States of America, am your peer =
Let me give you one illustration OF
these latter endowments possessed by
Mr.. Davis and one that tells as much
in these few short words employed to
tell it, as the richest library in the land
can. 1t is this Twenty-Five years ago,
Henry &. Davis, then boy, worked as
laborer in the employ of the B. ~ o.
Il. K. Co., at fifty cents per day, and to-
dav is the possessor Of a fortune fairly
and honestly accumulated, until it has
reached the sum of three hundred
thousand dollars. What boy need
despair? Such is part Of the history
Of the successor Of Hon. Waitman I.
Wiley, in the Senate Of the United
States, from West Virginia. As you
are well aware, the political views
entertained by Mr.. B. are not in per
feet harmony with those Of your humble
servant, but this | can say, that the
Democratic party could have invested
many another with the Senatorial
robes, less worthy for his Democracy
to wear them, and more distastefIl to
the Republican party.

make him an alien in the land OF his
birth, an outcast inferior in influence to
the most brutal and ignorant negro in
the State.
Fortunately, this is all over now.
Thanks to the victory secured at the
polls last October, the Legislature has
abolished the law under which these
abuses were perpetrated, and no future
legislature will dare TO re-enact it.
Men are already wondering why they
endured it so long. and in future years
they will look back upon the test oath
era in the political history Of West
Virginia with feelings Of establishment
at the patience displayed by the people
under these onerous and outrageous ex-
actions.
We published some time ago. the
general election bill as it was reported
from the Judiciary committee OF the
House Of Delegates We are not fully
informed as to the changes which took
place in the bill prior TO its final pas
sage, but we hope that its provision for
the appointment by the Governor OF
election commissioners in each county,
was stricken out. We. know that that
particular feature Of the bill encOun-
tered strong opposition in the Legisla-
ture. If it has been retained at all, it
is doubtless intended to be only tempo
rary, and will certainly be changed by
the next Legislature With the excep-
ton OF that feature to which we allude,
the law is all that could be desired and
under it the will OF the people can be
fairly and easily expressed. Elections
will be no longer the mockery they have
been under Radical administration, and
every qualified citizen may demand and
enforce his right to be heard.

Terrible Accident.

A frightful accident occurred al Mr..
w. B. Olbert's Sunlight Oil Refinery,
last Saturday afternoon, about half-past
two o'clock. One Of the stills, which
had been properly cooled the evening
before, contained three men, who were
repairing and cleaning it, having two
lighted candles with them, when a
bucket of benzine was brought into the
still by a foarth person. The vapor
from the benzine exploded, burning the
four unfortunate men terribly. Mr..
James Dennis died this morning, he
having been in the still about seven or
eight minutes. His brother tied rope
round his body, and entering the place
lifted him out. the effort rendering him
insensible. He recovered his conscious
ness a short time after in the fresh air.
Mr.. Quinn was the first man
out Of the still, being badly
burned over three fourths OF
his body. Mr.. NJ. Viewers, who was
burned on the face and hands, was 90

The City school Tax.

The InteNigencers whine ABOUT Tue
amendment of the school law, which
places in the hands OF the City Collector
the collection Of the levies ofthe School
District of Wheeling, is singularly ap-
propriate. During Sheriff SEYBoLDs
term, the collection Of the school tax IN
both the city and the country districts
was made by that officer. When
Sheriff CAMPBELL came into ofice
the Independent School District oil
Wheeling was created and the
collection OF taxes in the country
School Districts was, by 3 Republican
Legislature, taken from the Sheriff and
given to the Township Treasurers. 1t
so remained until last winter, when the
Legislature again amended the law and
abolished the office OF Township Treas
urer, thus giving to the Sheriff the
collection Of school taxes in the country,
but this did not take effect until the first
of January, 1871, and not cent OF
school tax was collected by Mr.. CAMP
BELL in the country districts during his
efftire term. The collections for the
City District are now to be made by
the City Collector, but Sheriff Brown
has the collection of school tax in the
country districts, which no Democratic
Sheriff has yet had, and thus no COM
ulaint can be made that his revenue has
been materially diminished.
Beside this, the city School District
has lust been made coterminous with
the city limits. 1t embraces no portion
Of the county that is not now included
in the city. 1t is therefore peculiarly
appropriate that the levy for city school
purposes should be collected by the
officer who collects the levies for other
CITY purposes. The School District Is
lust as independent and distinct from
the county school system as is the
corporation OF the city from the civil
system Of the county, and there would
he quite as much propriety in having
the Sheriff of Ohio county collect water
rents and other city assessments as in
placing in his hands the collection OF
the city school tax.
The question is not one OF
party politics at all. The amend
ment Of the law is right and prop
er and would doubtless have been
made just as readily as it has been, if
the present Sheriff of Ohio county were
aDemocrat of the strictest faith. But
the InteiHger,cr cannot deny that during
Sheriff CAMPBELLs term and during the
ascendency of the Radical party in the
Legislature, it advocated such a law as
would have very materially reduced the
compensation OF the Sheriff Of Ohio
county.
