HALIFAX, N. S., Oct. 4th, 1871.
JAMES l. FELLOWS, Eso.-Dear Sir: Our
sale of your Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites has been very large, and notwithstand-
ing its high price, has far exceeded that of any
other medicine. We have had from you within
the past year, six hundred cases of one dozen
each, which have gone into almost every part
OF the province, and given, 50 far as we know,
aat0ersat satisfaction.
AS it is no ''quack medicine" but compound
ed, as we believe, upon the sound principles of
Pharmaceutical science, we trust you will not
allow the public to lose sight of remedy SO
well calculated to be of permanent yalue.
Yours very respectfully,

received there, and it became necessary to

Impeachment resolution is looked upon as
a stunning blow to the Fsriag" and as
victory which will probably result in
the complete overthrow of the corrup-
tionists.
There is but little doubt Of conviction.
OF course the acts complained of can be
clearly proved, and are sufficient to send
Reed to the State penitentiary much less
4olfst him from the Governorship but the
facts have little influence on question like
this, while money and politics have much.
The Senate is composed of eleven Demo
Gratis and thrteen Republicans, making
seventeen votes necessary for conviction
Tie eleven Democrats, of course, will vote
solid. Three of the Republicans are pledg
ed to vote for conviction, leaving only two
votes to get, and two decent Republican:
undecided. 1t is generally believed that th'
ring members of the Senate will make {
scapegoat of the Governor, and white
wash themselves by voting for his i'm

Oa the Other Leg.

In RObeSOn county, in North Carolina, a
band of outlaws have their camp, and from
it have issued any day for these four years
to lob, and, when it suited their purpose,
to murder the helpless people of the
vicinity. Rewards, most tempting i'll
amount, have been insufficient to secure
the capture Of any one member Of the
gang; indeed, such is the immunity they
enjoy, purchased by years of successful
plunder and unaWed rapine and violence,
that they boldly ride along the public
highways and sWagger through the
streets of the neighbOring towns, with not
a hand brave enough to attempt to stay
them.
. With all of this, this reckless band of
midnight marauders, Of staggering assas-
sins, has never been styled the ''Ku-klulN,"
nor has ever Federal authority interfered
| to protect their victims. They make daily
! forays through the whole country arOand,
| openly exact levies of money and pIovi-
sions from the frightened population. But
the Federal judiciary that despatched Uni
ted States marshals, aided by United States
| bayOnets, to the upland counties of South
| Carolina, and secured the conviction Of hun
dreds Of ignorant and haplesS country youn-
kels, is blind to the desperate condition of
affairs in and about the little village OF
! ScuffletOwn i'll the adjoining State OfNortll
Carolina. We ale not aware that the vic
tins of Lowrey's band Of desperadoes have
ever appealed to the United States author
tiles for assistance; we only comment upon
the distinction made between Henry Berry
Lowrey, the negro murderer and uncheck-
ed freebooter. and DR.. William Avery, the
respectable citizen who has eXpatriateC
himself TO avoid an Illegal and an unjust
conviction. But DIR. Avery was a white
man and Democrat, while the savage
Lowley is a 1nulatto and Radical parti
san.
1t is stated that the force and influence
of LOWrey,S gang were used TO support TIN
carpet-baggerS Holden and Pool, and tina
its victims have uniformly been the enc
mics of the Administration. This may b
taken with q grain of salt, but undeubtedl,
the political bias of this negro outlaw ant
his band of black ruffiianS is toward TIN
Radical authorities of his State and of tn
South. Under the terrorism established b.
the rule of these lawless desperadoeS tn
people are abandoning their homes an
leaving the country to their tender mercies
The State authorities have given them IL
; aid-the Federal authorities seem not dis
posed to render them their assistance. III
people might take the law in their OwI
hands, but the proscriptive and partla
: measures Of the Federal authorities hav
placed even this last resort out OF thel
, power. 1t is very certain that if Louvre
had III reality been one of the sO-called ku
kluX, or it, as is intinated, he had nc
served the purposes OF the authorities, tn
hlood-Staincd camp Of this dismal SWAN
would long since have been dispersed, an

rne Inpcsc,,sme..s OF e;o. er,.or Reed.

Still another Of the caIpot-baG Governors
who have been engaged in ,obbin@ the
South has come IA grief, the Victim in this
case being Harrison Reed, of Florida. The
I Legislature Of liiai State, il j. said, has
voted unanimously To iinpeach Governor
! Reed, on The recommendation OF the rail-
way committee, for being concerned III
| gross frauds in connection with tie issuing
of bonds fU.' tlic construction ii railroads
Il faVOlitc scheme Uf IIundrr with Tie
ca1pet-b.g gentry. There is a long story
relating to the particular outrage which
has brought Governor Reed into difficulty.
As far back us 1868. SO the tale runs, one
SwcpsOn ioiued with Governor Bullock
who lately Gecamped from Georgia, iii pro-
jectin- railroad iii North Carolina. For
the constructions Of tiis road the Le@iola-
ture OF that State, under pressure from all
other Governor, who subsequently Was I'M
peached and deposed from office, author
lied the issue Of $T,000,000 in bonds.
] Swepson cagiied tie bonds North, raised
$500, 600 on them, aHd leaving the new
railroad to take care OF itself, ran Of with
his plumber to Florida. There he fell into
hands of shrcWdCT rascala han himself, and
was stripped of the most OF his booty ::
WherellpOn, with the assistance of Governor
Reed. he repeated tie game which had
been so successful i'll North Carolina, and
the Legislature was induced to issue
SJ.C0J.0OO in bonds tor building Il certain
railroad in FIO'i la. OF this sum Sl25,O0O
was expended on the railroad, while the
remainder went into the pockets OF Swepson
and his contedcrates. Thus two States
were made to nay $ll, S75,0GO in order to
get $125,000 expended on q single railroad
in one OF them.
His successor, Lieutenant Governor Sam
uel t. Day, is Virginian by birth, and
although a Republican in politics, is reput-
ed to be honest. He will at one take Cie
oath OF office as acting Governor. When
the present constitution was framed in
1868, a clause was inserted by the Radicals,
then snartiDg under the. Johnson lInpeaclI-
ment tiasco, that Impeachment should con-
stitute disability disqualiiying from the
performance of public duties. The fight is
entirely i'll the Radical ranks, between the
carpet-bag ring from the NOrth-Which
has plundeled the State already OF millions,
and is row scheming to squeeze The last
dollar from the State before it goes into
barkruptcy-and the Republicans per1na-
nently settled there and identified with the
interests OF the State. The passage OF the
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1872-02-23

palpably unfair, though it would still be in
expedient, to leave the measure of liability
absolutely indefinite. AS it is, the agree
ment for arbitration is entirely one-sided.-
No matter how unreasonable the Arbitra-
tors may consider it to judge our conduct
ten years ago by rules framed last year,
their award must be governed by those
rules, and they are not allowed to consult
their own sense of justice. How then can
it be argued that in estimating the DANA
ges, il any, to be paid, they should be re-
lieyed of ali obligation to follow legal prin-
ciples common to both the litigant nations
and with a discretionary power to impose
on Great Britain penalty as great as vic
torious Germany exacted from PROSTATE
France? -... >... -- -.5

An Interesfing Relic.

We were shown yesterday wrought
IRON nail from the office first occupied by
ex-President Andrew Jackson (Old Hick-
ory), i'll Salisbury, \. G., when he began
the practice OF law. 1t was captured by
MIR. j. w. Akers, of this city, who recently
passed through Salisbury. An old lady
occupied the lot, who was so jealous of ev-
cry article on the lot that she would spare
nothing but few nails. The nail tells the
history of the times, the great want of
manufacturing facilities in those DAYS
We clip the above from the local column
of the Atlanta SIN Of the 30h ult. A few
weeks ago, in reply to communication
which was published i'll the Enquirer, we
made it convenient TO refer to the early
days of ex-President Andrew jackson and
his studies in this Office under Judge Spruce

ruin and prey to the spOiler, but we envy
not the man who could visit it without the
deepest emotion of pride, gratitude and
