PEELED, distractions removed, and the whole

4 q sure and safe cure for
~ Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer,
with perfect certainty that

anee, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise rom its use IN any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. PreveHtiOR
is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This " CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison Of Fever and Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment Of the disease, il taken on the first
approach Of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority OF this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of InteEmittents is, that It contains
no Quinine OF mineral; consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other Injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as II they had never
had the disease.
EeNeE ana AEue IS HOt dlOl6 inc con-
sequence OF the miasmatic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise nom its irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, Rheuma-
Gism, GOut, Headache, BIindness,

ma, PalpitatlOn, Painful Affection
OF the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the

"CUREp expels the poison from the blood,
and consequently cures them all alike. IL Is
an Invaluable protection TO immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing IN
the maIarious districts If taken OCCASION
ally or daily while exposed TO the infection,
that win be excreted frum the system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure; and few
will ever suffer from Intermittents if they
avail themselves Of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity,
and producing many truly remarkable cures
where other medicines fail.

the Policy of the Administration TO Re.
main Unchanged

The Policy of the Administration 10 re.
main Unchanged
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.--The rough
draft OF the Presidents annual message
though not quite finished, was read to the
cabinet to-day, all the members being pres
ent. IL will be somewhat, perhaps, one
NTH, longer than last years message.
Two copies are to be furnished Congress,
ana 1lve Will be made in profile for the
use of the city press and for telegraph
ing. In response 10 q request asked by the
writer of this dispatch, the President re-
marked that he had no objection to saving
that the message would not show a change
OF policy on his part, as his endeavor was
now as 1t had been in the past, to perform
his entire duty to the best of his ability.
and such measures IA would best serve the
interests of the country. He was not GER
tain that he would recommend to Con-
gress an extension of amnesty to the two
or three hundred persons excluded by the
recent legislation, but if he should IL would
be with a proposed condition that the bene-
hclaries merely take an oath to support
the constitution Of the United States, Con-
gress, however, had ample authority i'm the
provision, and could act with regard to the
matter without repetition of his views
upon the subject, contained in his former
annual message.
He saw no more necessity, as had been
asserUeu, lor making declaration of n
more friendly policy towards the South
than for such a declaration towards the
North, as he sought, as President, under
the obligations of his oath, to execute the
duties of his position, without favor or par
tlallty in accordance with the law. He
would, in his message. endorse such recon-
mendations of the Legislature as may be
presented by the heads of the several de-
partments, and which experience had
shown to be.necessary; and he would recon-
mend to Congress that action be taken
with regard to the award made by the ar
bitrators. The money will be paid by
Great Britain to the Department of State
and deposited in the the treasury. OF
course 1t can not be drawn therefrom ex-
cept in accordance with the law for the
purposes specified. In the course of con-
versation on the subject of civil service re-
form the President said that while COM
petitive examinations were desirable he
did not think it right that offices should
be granted to enemies of the administra-
tion-to them exclusive of it's friends. He
was now engaged examining applications
for pardon, taking up the cases singly with
view to making conclusions upon them.
He intended to pardon Col. Bowerman
who, about eighteen months ago, was con-
Victed of embezZelment while he was
an on officer on the Baltimore Gus
tom house. He added that in addition to
other reasons, Col. Bowerman was a brave
ana faithful Office during the late war.

Fred. Douglass ON civil service Reform
Supposed Reflex OF the Presidents Views

Supposed Reflex OF the Presidents views
i'm Reply.
Special Dispatch TO the Times and Cbroniclel
WASHINGTON. Nov. %
An editorial in Fred. Douglass, paper
This week, attacking civil service reform.
has attracted considerable attention here.
and causes muchcomment in Administra-
ton circles. 1t is replied to by the ReDuJ-
Acdn to-day, in significant double-leaded
editorial, which is understood to reflect
the sentiments of President Grant, and
shows that the latter has modified his for
mer views. Mr.. Douglass, in his article
charges that civil service reform places
enemies OF the Republican party, and
even avowed rebels, on an equal footing
with Woodworking Republicans, however
competent and honest. "The offices, - Mr..
douglass says, SHOULD be filled by the
men who won the recent victory at the
polls, and preserved the nation from the
calamity which threatened it,"
The Republicans editorial SAYS: "The
resident has lately given the entire ques-
ton good deal of attention and consider
alton, and is, we understand, entirely sat
lsfied that the competitive system should
not De rlgidiy enforced, If indeed he is not
convinced that it should be entirely abol-
ished. What is required is standard of
efficiency to which all who are candidates
should be up. 1t is not intended TO put
the enemies of the Republican party on an
equal footing with "hsrd-working Repub-
leans but it is the intention that
Woodworking Republicans shall not
obtain Office without the least re-
gard to their competency. General
Grant believes that first of all, all other
things being equal, the men who have
stood by the party should be appointed to
Office, in preference to those who have been
opposed to it; but to protect the public
service there must be some standard of ac-
quirement, and no man who falls below it
can be appointed merely to strengthen the
party
There is large class of persons who
are entitled to office on many grounds, such
as service in the late war, fidelity to Re-
publican principles, &C.. but in addition
to these qualifications, they must be to a
certain standard of efficiency, before, in the
future, they can be appointed. When
they are thus qualified, in an educational
point, which is not to be decided or deter
mined on the competitive plan, then they
are in all cases, to get the preference. If
the Government has favors to give they
should, in the opinion of the President go
TO the person who has stood by the Govern
ment provided he is fitted for the position
he may seek.n
