Since the exposure Of the attempts made by
certain unEcrupulous local dealers to palm off
their coarse astringents, made from cheap and
impure materials, in the place Of the great ma
tional tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, public
opinion has set strongly against these empires
and their preparations. Their occupation is gone
or soon will be. When the light is let int de-
ception it soon willis down. Persons who triae
with their own health by using unknown prepa-.
tions, with no guarantee to sustain them, when
an established specific, proven by twenty years
experience to be exactly what it is claimed to
be, is within their reach, are sure to repent their
temerity Many have done so in this instance,
but it is hoped that the truth plainly spoken has
arrested the evil. In the meantime the demand
for the leading protective and restorative medi-
cine of merica was never 80 great IS 1t has
been this season. From the fever and ague dis
tricts of west, south west and south, It is literally
overwhelming, and it may be said Of the advices
from all parts of the country Of the cures it Is
effecting'i in dyspepsia, bilious complaints, and
chronic constipation, that their name is legion.
Everywhere the sick and feeble seem to have re-
allied the importance of "holding fast which is
good" and avoiding that which is spurious and
dangerous.
The numerous " Bitters," under various names
which mereenary dealers endeavos to substitute
for Hostette' g Stomach Bitters, should be avoid
ed, for their own sakes, by the sick, and the
public at largo. Hostettcr's Bitters are procu-
rable in bottles only, and never sold in bulk.

Gov. Perry's Letter.

we nave not published the letter which
emanated from the pen of this distinguished
Carolinian about ten days ago, but we pre-
sumo that most Of our readers have seen it.
The letter is written in very good spirit,
but contains, in our opinion, some bad ad-
vice. 1t advises that all persons who employ
colored laborers should contract with them
that they vote as their employers do. The
Governor says that this can be done without
violating the law, and instances the English
peasantry as examples of the manner in
which in that country, they vote "like mas
ter, like man." And he goes on to say that
unless they agree to vote as indicated, they
should not be employed
We are not sure upon the law of the case,
but we do not believe that the law would
permit any man to act thus, because it would
amount to an actual deprivation of mans
free will, and any interference with that is
directly opposed not only to the statute law,
but to the,spirit of Republican principles, and
is step towards the enslaving of the mind
which is slavery tenfold more horrible
than any other species of that curse. Of one
thing, however, VIC do feel sure, that is, no
man could exact such terms from his fellow,
and were such a contract made, it would
not be binding and could not be enforced.
No argument is needed to establish this point,
and what would be the advantages of a con-
tract which cannot be enforced, and for the
breach of which there is no roulcdy2
AS to the policy of such step, we con-
slider that it does not rest upon any surer
foundation than the principle. There is no
doubt that if the State was prosperous, Gas VIC
believe it to be every year growing more so,)
and every citizen had money or property,
the pressure of taxation or any of the other
evils imposed upon the people, would not
make any material difference or offer any no.
table check to her prosperity. Wealth is
more evenly distributed now than ever be.
fore, and the burden of supporting the State
is universal instead of confined to a few
as before the war. The great lesson which
we have been endeavoring to teach the COL
ored laborers for these six years has been
that they pay the taxes, not the property
holder. This great truth nobody denies. If
1t be truth, where is the sense of Governor
Perry's theory? He wants the employer to
refuse to hire the colored man, because the
latter are the moving cause of the inhiction
of bad legislation upon U.S. The principal
evil is that of taxation. If the laborers, of
whom the great majority are colored, pay the
taxes, why should they pot continue to suffer
the consequences of their actions, in small
wages, decrease of prosperity and con-
tinued lack of the acquisition of property?
The cure for our evils is not such as Gov.
Perry suggests, His letter has gone to the
country and has had its effect, which is by
no means good. Some of our Radical ex-
changes call it a frstrate Grant and Wilson
campaign document. While we do not be-
lieve aUthey say, we regard it as very pro-
bable that there is "more truth than poetry
in that statement.

THE LOST BY THE CHICAGO FIRE The
number Of persons who perished in the
Chicago fire ia estimated ia. have been al
least 800. Over 100 bodies have been
recovered, nearly all Of which have been
Identified. and The work Of clearing
away the rrins is still far from compile.
tion, In the swift rush OF the flames,
hundreds of people were unquestionab ,
consumed 30 completely as not to leave
even vestige OF bone. or even ashes, to
toll their fate. Letters OF inquiry for
missing friends are pouring into the city
from all quarters, and the publication Of
these has been the means Of tracing
many who were supposed to be lost.
The Chicago Times publishes list OF
those known to be- missing, and says the
sud probability is that the death list will
exceed 500.

The Ku Klu. Kr.n rr,.,,.

It appears that the Ku Klux trials
were brought. on yesterday. to an abrupt
close. The case of Colonel McMaster
remains under ndvisenens, and We think
it likely that We shall hear no more
about it. When Judge Bond passes up
the bay to Baltimore cool refeoti On will
come to him, and he will consider that
his personal temper got the better Of his
judicial prerogative. and that he asked
Questions which he had no right to ask
OF an attorney. Colonel MoMaster will
remain intact, for bis feet are upon q
rock. We learn that Judge Bond re-
turns to Baltimore. Judge Bryan will
remain to attend to business not con-
nected with Ku Kluxism. Ali the pri
soners, except those in arrest on murder
charges. will. we suppose. be dismissed.
Those arrested on the charge of murder
will, We take it. be detained, subject to
the questions to be argued before the
Supreme Court by Messrs. johnson and
Staubery. The petit jusiss will be dis
missed.

We learn that the United States pri-
soners are very much crowded in the
County Jail. We have reason for SAYING
that sheriff Frazee has been doing all in
his power to promote the comfort of the
men in confinement. and that he has
several times been brought into oonHo.
with the orders or representatives Of th.
United States Marshal. This officer,
especially OF late, has departed from u
proper consideration for his prisoners.
Is he disposed to sacrifice to a subser.
Went spirit the delicate and proper dis.
charge Of his duties? It would seem 80.
From frst to last, our oitizens, innocent
and guilty. have alike been outraged, and
We hope yet to find that POWER is made
to receive the lessons it should be made
to learn, viz: That q man should be
deemed innocent until shown to BIZ
guilty. and that even men found guilty
have rights which officers are bound To
respect.

We learn that one OF our most law

strained, yesterday, to administer some
thing of drubbing to a certain city
official. The affair grew out Of u refusal
of the official to meet bill presented to

suit for assault and battery is the re-.
snle We think it is ime for some of US
deliberately to conclude to pay even a
large sum. il necessary. for the privilege
OF furnishing the nnblnshing cases that
We have to deal with. Forbearance does.

NO Passlvlsua for Us.

No passivism will save the country.
We want masterly activity. A writer in
the New York World, signing himself
missouri" says:
sit is proposed the Democratic party
IN the ensuing Presidential election shall
adopt the Missouri policy of 1870
There is no analogy between the ooudi-
tion OF affairs aud position of parties in
this nation at this time and in Missouri
last year"
And. after showing that there is NO
analogy between the Missouri policy and
ass passiUisns proposed for tho Demo.
oraoy now, adds:
''In the Missouri policy there was no
surrender OF principle In the pessive
policy there is an abandonment
more, surrender Of principle It's re-
sult,is disintegrati0n of the Democratic
party y II the good OF the nation shall
require the destruction OF the Demo
cratic party; destroy it. We will, laid in
Its destruction under such circumstances.
Lifelong Democrats cannot consent to
abandon their ideas of strict construc-
tion OF the Constitution. They cannot
and will not consent to vote for men who
will centralize the powers of the Co.
vernment. They cannot consent to vote
for men who have encroached, and will
still continue to encroach, on the re-
served rights Of the States. They can
not consent to vote. for men who have
abolished the eight OF trial by jury and
substituted trial by military commissions
Of our citizens. They cannot consent
to vote for men who have instructed the
President to suspend the writ OF hnbeas
corpus, when there is neither invasion nor
inaurrection. They cannot consent to
vote for men who have aided to establish
military despotism in part of our
country. And there are many other
reasons why Democrats cannot consent
to become Republicans and embrace the
principles of that party. Paasivism pro.
poses to Democrats to do this. Is it any
wonder that those who have been Re.
publicans-who have sanctioned the
fragrant violations of the Constitution
and outrages on the rights OF States and
Of the people, and never claim to be
policy?"
The writer is right. We are told that
it is better to stsnd still than to make a
false step. True; but there is something
superior to either, and that is, to move
on in the right directioE, and to take
course tenable and yet discreet and
progressive.
