AUGUSTA, April Esd, 1872.
Mr.. JoURNAL:-You ask in your columns
this morning, if there is any law against ad-
vertising on fences. will answer, there is;
but IT the owner gives consent, all the laws in
the State cannot prevent a man from painting
anything he likes on fence in the shape of
an advertisement. G. w. A.
Perhaps individuals may be found who
would consent to have their front yard fences
and the broadsides of their stores fairly plas-
tered over with medicine devices. That they
have legal right to thus offend the eyes of
every passer-by, insult their neighbors who
do not consent to the defilement of their
premises, and shock the good taste of the en-
tire community, they have legal right
to do all this has not been called in question.
There are men who will do this for money
whose highest conception of the fine arts is
expressed by daub hf yellow paint. But
the consent of property holders is not always
obtained or their wishes consulted in the
premises. We have seen board nailed to a
noble elm standing before the elegant resi-.
dence of gentleman of refined taste in this
city. On the board was painted sect it," and
an index finger pointing to the gentleman 8
front door. Does our correspondent suppose
that was put there with the owners consent ?
And then sidewalks and other city property
are daubed in the night time, without the
shadow of authority. The nuisance is get
ting to be intolerable and should be sup
pressed.

Amongst the symptoms of consumption
which present themselves as the disease pro-
crosses, are cold chills, cough, shortness of
breath, restlessness at night, loss Of appetite,
loss of flesh, night sweats, hectic expectora-
ton of white mucous, pellets, also yellow and
blush or gray matter, sometimes streaked
with blood; burning pains in the chest, diar-
rh9a, general prostration and incapacity for
the ordinary duties of life. As the patient
becomes reduced, other complications appear
and he rapidly sinks. A remarkable and
very common physical sign among consump-
tives is their exemption from alarm; notwith-
standing the dangerous character of their
disease they believe in ultimate recovery.
This very confidence prevents the patient
from resorting to the only means of cure,
and that watchfulness necessary in so critical
time, until finally they lapse into hopeless
recovery. Like the first adventurous boat
man who rowed down from Erie; broad and
smooth was the river, rapid in progress, and
pleasant his anticipations. Alas, the tide
which drifted him so rapidly was one of de-
struction, and when he would retrace his way
he found the current too strong to stem, and
that no drew nearer every instant to the
mighty Niagara. Down, down he was car
ried amidst the seething spray, and with his
bark was dashed to pieces.
The consumptive is admonished to resort
to Fellows Compound Syrup OF Hypophos-
phites, when the first symptom presents itself,
and it is the only sure remedy.

ington dispatches of the Boston Advertiser
of yesterday.
The "LIBERAIs."
The supporters of the Cincinnati move
ment in this city are engaged in q vigorous
course concerning the ticket to be nominated
at that gathering. Davis, Adams and Trum-
bull are the only prominent names for the
head of the ticket, and between the followers
of each there is very decisive and out spoken
opposition. The Trumbull strength il, how.
ever, growing more apparent within the past
few days among the republican elements
which will assemble at Cincinnati. and it 10
also urged that the nomination must be given
to Illinois, both on grounds Of justice and
expediency. Democratic leaders in Con-
gress have lately sent men and money among
the southern states for the purpose Of raising
Davis delegations for Cincinnati, but the op-
position to Davis among the liberal republi.
cans, pure and simple, increases as the first
of May approaches. Senator Schurx stated
within few days that he did not believe that
Davis would be nominated, and it 10 well un.
derstood among those best informed. that he
cannot have under any circumstances the
support of the Chicago Tribune. On the
other hand, it is said that if nominated Judge
Davis would be certain to receive far greater
support from the late democratic party than
either of his rivals, and that he will take per-
sonal part in the campaign. Senator Logan
stated his belief to-day that the liberal re-
publican movement in Illinois, while respect
able and even important, does not promise
strength enough to carry the State against
the candidate of the Philadelphia convention.
The alliance of Governor Palmer to the
Liberal party is not altogether without ito
disadvantages, since the entire German vote
is probably lost to any ticket bearing his
name, on account of his unpopular course
on the temperance question. The leading
German paper of Chicago declares distinctly
that it will give no support whatever to any
ticket upon which Palmer's name appears.
The editor of prominent republican paper
in Virginia stated to-day that he knew Of but
two men in that State who are going to Gin
cinnati-Judge Lorton and Franklin Stearns;
the latter the wealthiest man in the State,
and an old political associate of John Minor
Bolts.
ORGANIZING.
Politictl parties here are looking around for
chairmen of their respective Congressional
committees to the charge Of the campaign.
There is some difficulty in the opposition
camp as to whether executive control shall
be given to the regular old liners or to the
new disciples of the Cincinnati school. In
the republican ranks several names are can
vassed for the chairmanship of the National
committee. Speaker Blaine has been urged
from very influential quarters to take the po-
sition, but it is said he positively declines
and will confine his entire work to the main
campaign.
MARYLAND.
The Maryland republican State convention
will be held at Baltimore on Wednesday, and
is expected to declare for Grant and Colfax
