CURING VERSUS CoBBL1NG.-There are many
medicines that give transient relief in sickness
without touching the source and seat of the
complaint. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is not
one OF these. The great tonic and restorative
does not cobble the diseased and enfeebed
system. 1t is not mere palliative, that only
temporarily controls a few unpleasant symp'
toms. No; its invigoratlng, regulating, res
torative principle penetrates to the very source
of the difficulty In the fluids and solids OF the
body, and hence its cures are radical and
thorough. In dyspepsia it strengthens the
stomach, in liver complaint it regulates the
flow of bile, in constipation it promotes
punctual habit of body, in nervous ailments 1t
tones the sentients and motive 1bres, in rheu-
matism it counteracts pain, and In cases Of
general debility rehablltates the emaciated
frame. july29-mwt3D&w

MErEoRs.-An unusual display OF meteors
WAS observed In the heavens on Saturday
night. One gentleman saw four OF hVe oe-
tween the hours of nine aud ten, and many
were witnessed by others earlier in the eve
ping. Several were of the apparent size, bril-
liancy and duration of large sky rockets.

MORE LIGHT IN THE MARKET.-Ihe gas
pines In the beef and veal sections of the
lower Market have recently been removed
from the centre of the raiters, where they
have heretofore stood, and run along the stalls
on each slde, supported about half way be-
tween the floor and the caves OF the root by
iron suspenders. Each stall is furnished with
one let. The work was done by Mr.. P. L..
Guillemin, at cost of four hundred aud TWO
dollars. It was completed last week, and its
efficacy tried for the first time on Saturday
evening. The result was, an abundance OF
light, and q greatly improved appearance OF
the Market. The commissioners of the Mar
kets are contemplating similar alterations for
the other sections.

suddenly last Saturday, of apoplexy, alter

that business and has ever since held prom
lnent position among the retail merchants of
King street. He contributed generously to
every public enterprise, and was as devoted to
the welfare of Charleston as he was attached
to her people. A prominent trait of his char
acter was his open-hearted generosity, which
was frequently illustrated in the helping hand
which he vas always ready to extend to a
young or struggling fellow merchant His
funeral took place yesterday from st. Marys

RADICAL PROBLEMS. By G. A. BARToL. Pub
lished by Roberts Brothers, Boston, 1872
This volume contains seventeen different
chapters, or, more strictly speaking, articles
or papers on subjects correlated to a Ger
tain degree of order, such standardization,
Transcendentalism, Radicalism, Theism,
Naturalism, Materialism, Spiritualism, etc.,
but without showing how the order leads to
any co-relations in respect to problems.
The writer belongs to the Emersonian
school of thinkers, giving us thoughts that
are not only vigorously expressed, but re-
markedly suggestive of what our own
minds might think, if properly spurred to
the task of thinking. Bartol is, however,
a more direct writer than Emerson, though,
perhaps, not as dreamy, that is, not so
broken in the continuity of his thought, nor
so wildered in fancy. He grapples with his
topics as if he had made up his mind how
to handle them in advance, and how he
could best startle the world out of some
of its old hedged-in notions. For in
stance, he declares that "God is not an
Original, but conception proposition
broad enough and startling enough to
frighten whole synod of ecclesiastics out
of their logical wits, unless they saw fit to
follow him to his legitimate conclusions.
The work is for sale at Ellyson & Tayler's.
THE SCIENCE RECORD FOR 1872, compendium
of Scientific Progress and Discovery during
the past year, with Illustrations. Edited by
ALFRED f.. BEACH. Published by Mum & Co.,
of the Scientific american, New York,
This is handsomely bound volume of
some four hundred pages, giving the pro-
gress of scientific discovery and invention
during the past year, with numerous illus
trations of the various discoveries and inn
provements made in the domain of science
and industrial art. OF course, the work
aims to give only the more impor-
tant developments and results in this
direction, but it does this faithfully and
well. To the scientific scholar, as we'll as
general reader, the work is one of great
value. In its typographical and litho-
graphical execution, it could hardly be i'm
proved. Received from Messrs. Ellyson
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-03-14

SOME days ago bill was offered by one
Of the Republican members of the House
of Delegates providing that at the May
elections in 1872, and each year thereafter,
the qualified voters of any voting district
in the State shall elect one person as
judge and two as inspectors to perform the
duties now required of judges of elections,
each person voting at each annual election
for Judge and one inspector only. This
would enable the minority to be represented
at all times by at least one inspector of
elections in each voting district or
precinct in the State. This is not a
new feature, but one that has been very
generally adopted in other states, and with
the happiest results. 1t is concession
on the part of the majority that does
not in any way affect their control Of
the ballot-boxes, or their privileged rights
in elections, but it gives the minority an
opportunity to see that there is fairness and
honesty in what the majority does.
There is chance for great injustice and
unfairness as the law now stands. The
county judges are elected by the majority
party in the Legislature. They appoint the
election officers. Their appointments in
many cases are of such character as to
create very great distrust and dlssatisfac-
ton, for they are generally strictly partisan.
BY giving the minority chance to be
represented at any voting precinct in the
State, and giving the people the right to Sc
lect their own judges and inspectors of
elections, all grounds of dissatisfaction and
complaint would not only cease, but bet
ter and more satisfactory class of officers
would be secured in the management of our
elections. The same centralized principle
runs through everything in this State. No
thing is to be submitted to the considera-
ton Of the people, but they are to have
even the inspectors of a local election ap-
pointed by some authority outside OF them
selves.

COOPERATIVE UNIONS AMONG FARM


Our Loudoun county correspondent al
ludes to movement among the farmers Of
that county to increase their profits by cut
ting off, in some measure, their dependence
upon the middlemen who take the Lions
share of their profits. Farmers, of all
other men, are now in need of organization.
They are damaged in thousand ways for
want Of mutual cooperation and support.
Every farmer in the State should be speedi-
ly enrolled in local club, and there COM
bined into a powerful and active organi-
cation. The sale of farm products is q
matter of vital importance.
tits useless to produce crops unless they
can be sold at remunerative prices. Coop
Grafton in purchasing supplies and in mar
keting products may be so managed as to
increase the profits at least one-third.
Every other trade and profession is closely
organized and alert to protect itself. Only
farmers blunder along in helpless isolation.
