And crimson banners touched with sunset gold

SPECIAL NOTICES.
-.O:-
What Spring Brings With Ii.

REGARDED from medical standpoint,
Spring is not the delectable season de-
scribed by vernal poets. On the contrary,
its weld of intermittent feverS, bilious at
tacbs, rheumatic pains, disorders of the
stomach, nervous complaints and pu!mo-
nary diseases, is almost as large as It's crop
of yiolets, snowdrops and cherry blossoms.
The invisible seeds of innunerable mala-
dies rise with the morning misLs, and are
scattered broadcast by the vapOrs of night.
Who can resist their mephitic influence?
Certainly not the weak by nature, or those
whose nervous energies have been over
tasked by mental or physical labor, unless
hey tone and inviSorate their systems, ana
thus enable them TO cope win the I'M
healthy influences by which they are SUI
rounded.
The only medicinal agent by which this
object can be rapidly and safely accom-
plished is the great vegetable renovant ana
invigorant, HOStetteI'S stomach BlttrrS.
The operation OF this celebrated specific is
four-lold. 1t strengthens the di%"StiN" or
gans, regulates the secrc'i"n>, &c. .''''''
the condition of the blood, >u.'c:imHuceS "A
regular habit of body, ana thereby lmpart>
such vigor and elasticity 10 the whole
physical structure as 10 render III capahle OF
resisting the action of the poisonous MAS
ma, with which the spring atmosphere is
always to some extent lmpreSnated. Here,
then, is q ready and certain means or cS-
GAPING the disorders prevalent at this sea-
son, or Qf they have already fastened upon
the system) OF conquering them specify
and thoroughly. The flavor of medicine
is not OF much consequence, provided II
does its work properly, but OF Hostelter
Btters il may be fairly said that they
effect cure without outraglng the patient
sense OF taste.

THE New York Nation Gays: 1--WE

The New York Nation Gays: ave
are sorry TO have to record another en-
pointment by the President which is
not exactly in the direction Of the Civil
Service Reform. We believe it is now
the fashion to accuse everybody who
makes remark Of this Lind Of being
a partisan. Well, we are paft'sans,
but we hope parlisans Of good govern
ment and official honesty, and we there
fore confess, without shame, that we
think the appointment OF a Lowell
carpet-5agger named PARKER, a brother
in-law Of Mr.. BENJAMIN F. BUTLER,
who is also the uncle Of GEORGE II
BUTLER, the we'll known Consul General
in Egypt, to the Surveyorship of the
port OF New Orleans in the place of
General LoNGsrREEr, a great scandal
and SAD commentary on the value Of
the new rules. General LoNGsrREET,
who is an honest man whom his worst
enemies respect, has resigned through
disgust at the performance OF CASEY
the Collector, and his faction, and now
the President puts 10 his place a low
adventurer, in order to oolige B. F.
BUTLER, and he does this while retain,
ing his own bro,he'-iO-law as CoIIec'o or
he who, besides many other expIot-,
lately employed the Federal revenue
cutter for twelve days in carrying a
batch Of State Senators up and down
the river 10 protect them from arrest by
the Serseant-at.Arms. Now, why Is
this done2 What excuse is thee for
it, in view OF the reform in the Civil
Service, which, we are told, IS 60
inc ou?"

The Arguments adduced in support OF
the cheap John" system. Most OF
lbe members WHO vote in favor OF a re-
duction OF salaries do so from a pure
motive and believe that in doing so they
are rejecting the will Of their constitp..
co.'s and servipg the best interests of
the State. am willing to accord them
this, but | must protest against the
misery, peDurious, parsimouious, mig
G&rdly, stingv system that condems a
Judge OF the Supreme Court OF Appeals
10 salary less than is usually earned
by a skilled workman in one Of the
iron mills in Wheeling. and gives the
Superintendent Of Free Schools, in
whose hands the future welfare Of the
State is 10 great extent committed
and whose department consumes an-
nually more money than all the other
disbursements of the State government
combined, a less compensation than is
usually paid to book-keeper or sales,
meu in one Of your mercantile estab-
lishments, or than is paid to some OF
the teachers over whom the Superln-
tendent exercises q limited supervision.
don't believe and cannot believe that
The people of West Virginia mean to
insist that whoever enters the public
service must do so at pecuniary
sacrifice; that all State officers, Gov
ernor, Judges, and al, snail be coon
PEELED 10 live from hand to mouth while
IN the public service and retire at the
end OF their respective terms actually
poorer in purse than when they BEGAN.
But some Of the members Of the
Convention seem to think that the
high privilege Of holding an office in
West Virginia should be paid for
by the officer end that the govern
ment should actually fleece and impov-
cr sh the officers called by the people
to execute or interpret or make the
laws | have not 50 poor an opinion
Of the generosity, or rather the honesty,
OF ,he people OF the Stale.
The salaries Of STATE officers as fixed
by the present Constitution are too low.
This fact was recognized by the Radi-
Gals themselves, and they endeavored
to remedy the matter by unconstitu-
,ional allowances for "house rent" &c,
which the new Constitution will en-
plessly and peremptorily forbid. 1t Is
tue that candidates will still be found
foe every Office in the gift of the people,
| lust as an employer may find some sort
of applicants for any position he has
10 give no matter what the wages may
be, but it is certainly contrary to all
the teachings Of business experience to
expect good service for poor pay.
The Committee on Revision present.

articles OF the new Constitution, relating
TO "rhc State" "Bill OF Rights" "Elec-
