Fraudulent Mlsrepresenta-
tons.

Among the perniciOus frauds Of the pc
Rod, there is one which especially deserves
the apprehension Of all who place proper
value on heal h and life. The swindle re-
ferred TO consists in the attempts of ire
sponsible parties, in different sections of the
United States to force upon the market
vile astringent compounds manufactured
out OF damaged or worthless drugs and
refuse liquor, as preparations possessing
the rare and medicinal virtues of the most
popular and eflicaciOus Of all vegetable
tenics and -Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters.
The concocters OF these "lOcal bitters" are,
in the truest sense OF the phrase, public
enemies. Their fiery potions inhame the
stomachs, stupefy the brains, and shatter
the ne YES OF those who are unwlse enough
to accept them as substitutes Tor the famous
Vegetable lnvigorant. that Tor twenty years
has been known throughout the Western
Hemisphere as standard article.
The fame OF Hostelter's Bitters as q
th-preserving, vltaliZing medicine, IL
a. wide as the world, and the miserable
attempts OF needy nostrum-mongers TO
supplaut IL would be treated with silent
contempt, were 1t not that serious conse-
quences sometimes follow the use OF the
nefarious compounds in question. Who

other complaint for which Hostetter

Death OF Gen. Richard 8. Ewen.

Gen. Richard s. Ewell died at his
residence in Maury county, Tenn, on
the Oath inst. Gen. Ewell was born in
Georgetown, D. c., of DR.. Thos. Ewell
and Elizabeth Stoddert. He was the
grandson of Bejamin Stoddert, of Mary
land, who was 8. member OF the Cabinet
of the elder Adams. He moved to
Virginia at an early age, and entered
the army in $40, after graduating at
West Point, as lieutenant of Dragons.
He was brevetted for gallant conduct
during the Mexican war, and was after
wards distinguished for his energy and
efficiency in his Indian campaigns.
Gen. Ewell held the right at the first
battle OF Bull Run. In the campaign
against Mcclellan, Gen. Ewell operated
on the left bank Of the Chickahominy.
During Hooker's advance Ewell held
him in check at Bristow Station. At
Antietam his men formed part of
Jacksons corps. Subsequently his com
mand captured MIlroy's force at Win
chester. He commanded with distinction
at Gettysburg and in the Wilderness.
In Lees final retreat he was cut off from
the main body of the defeated army,
and after desperate resistance, which
has merited unusually high praise from
a historian specially cold to all the gene
rails of the South, he surrendered with
four generals and 5000 men.

A NATIONAL Convention is called to
meet in Cincinnati tomorrow for the
purposs of furthering "the religious
amendment of the Constitution Of the
United States" The call ia signed by
Judge STRONG ofthe Supreme Court of
the United States, as President of the
Association, and by a number Of gentle
men Of much prominence in the politi-
cal as we'll as the religious affairs ofthe
nation.
We are at loss to know what prac-
teal benefit can result from inserting
the name OF GoD in the legal document
known as the Constitution ofthe United
States. Is there any reason to believe
that it will make citizens more pious
or offce.holders honest? Will it
restrain Congress from trampling upon
other important provisions Of the
Constitution, or secure better admin
istration of governmental affairs2 This
is a point upon which the people would
like to be informed, and we trust that
the eminent clergymen at the Conven-
ton tomorrow may render a satisfac-
tory reply.

The Third District Ring.

From the Morgantown CONSTITUTION.
We dislike criticising the doings OF
Democratic bodies, but we submit that
the action Of the Democratic majorities
in the Convention and Legislature, in
discriminating so largely in favor of a
particular section OF the State, in the
bestowal OF offices within their gift,
was not doing what was wise. The
eouth western corner Of the State was
allowed almost everything The fact
will surely suggest to our political
opponents the idea of the ring" We
do not believe such ring" exists; We
believe it was simply blunder, result
ing from an unfortunate accidental
aggregation Of Office seekers in that
particular section, that gave all the
offices out there. But, because it is as
we have said, suggestive to our oppo-
nents, and because it is one of those
blunders that arouses sectional feeling
and wounds the personal sense OF
justice, we deeply regret its occurrence.
Because it injuriously affects the morale
and integrity or our party-as we
already see evidence it has-we deplore
it, and hope to see no repetition OF it.

Why Not?

Why restrict the rule adopted by the
West Virginia Commissioners in ascer-
tanning the proportion OF the public
debt due by the State to counties which
have derived benefits from the works
of internal improvement, the construc-
ton of which created the debt? Why
not apportion the debt to individuals
in proportion to the benefits derived 2
Some men have lost money in conse'
uuence OF the construction OF the i'm
provements. Shall they be made to
pay any portion Of the debtf Some
counties, too, have derived next to none.
Shall these counties and parts OF
cotnties be taxed to pay interest upon
the public debt? And, then, they are
our felow-citizens from abroad and
from the northern States who have
since the close OF the war come to live
amongst US: shall they be made to pay
a part OF the debt which was contracted
long before they ever thought Of remov-
ing to Virginia? Forbid it, Bennett
Campbell and Jackson.

A Huge Pension Fraud.

General Garfield made the startling
statement to the House of Representa-
tive. on Thursday, on the authority Of
the Commissioner Of Pensions, that
one.fourth of the total amount paid to
pensioners goes to persons who have
got their names upon the pension rolls
by fraud, and who have no right to be
there at all. 1t appears that there is q
system of preparing fictitious evidence
Of disability by claim agents that has
succeeded to the enormous extent stated,
90 that the treasury is annually deple-
ted OF about $4,000 for the benefit
of swindlers. The Commissioner Of
Pensions hopes to unesrth many Of
these frauds, and the miscellaneous
appropriation bill contains an appro-
priation to enable him to make an
effert in that direction.

Newspapers In the Mail.

By a recent decision of the Postoffice
Department, the law regarding sending
newspapers by mail has been more
clearly defined than it has heretofore
stood. No name or memorandum can
be made on a newspaper inside the
wrapper on which the address is writ
ten. 1t is barely permissible to mark
an article with pen or pencil. More
than this subjects the paper to letter
postage, and the violator to fine. No
printed card. handful or advertisement,
no written notice, letter, or slip OF any
kind whatsoever must be folded in the
paper. To do any OF these things is to
violate the law. Printed slips pasted
on the outside OF folded in papers or
periodicals., soliciting notices, are also
violations of the law. Senders OF tran
sient papers can send bundles OF printed
matter by weight, or transient postage
charges, but must not send any written
matter in such bundles. 1t will save
expenses and inconvenience to parties
concerned to bear this ruling Of the de-
partment in mind.

following facts and figures: For the

was received at New York nearly
ten millions Of dollars (gold value)
north Of goods! The following are
the leading articles: Silks, satins,
laces, &c s3,649, 1892; jewelry $685.

$24,O7O; wines, 1880; whisky,

such vast sums for luxuries have
only themselves to blame if the f.
nances are disturbed. AL this gold

As the excursion train on the Muncie

attacked by some rowdies, in a dense
piece of woods, and many persons were
injured by stones thrown. A number
of ladies were badly hurt. The train
was stopped, and the woods were scour-

made their escape, covered by the dark

Sad Effects of 'SOft Shell
GrahS -

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
the earliest and ablest Greeley organ in
the New England States, continues to
call for the retirement of Gratz Brown
from the Greeley ticket, because Mr..
Brown is a drunken demagogue. 1t
says in late issue
"The Connecticut papers furnish ad-
ditional and apparently conclusive evil
dence of Gratz Browns drunkenness at
New Haven during commencement
week. We note that, so far, the Liberal
"organs" wholly ignore the subject, and
apparently seek to conceal the disgrace
full facts from their readers. But they
cannot prevent them from becoming
generally known, nor from working great
harm to the reform cause. If Brown
does not back out, or is not kicked out,
Mr.. Greeley will lose thousands of votes
in consequence of his associates dis
graceful condition at New Haven"
