ALIENS LUNG BALsAM.-It Is seldom
we dare to recommend to the public any
patent medicine, and only do so liz this in
stance to give "justfce where 1t belongs"
ALIENS Lung Balsam" is a splendid med
fcine. We say SO because we are convinced
OF 1t by our own observation and that of
one OF the best physicians in the South.
We are personally acquainted with Colonel
Allen-the inventor-0f the firm of j. N.
Harris & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, and know
him to be incapable of imposing in any way
upon the afflicted. To those troubled with
coughs, colds. and consumption, we recon-
mend "Allen's Lung Balsam." For sale by
druggists generally.

Interesting to Whisky Drinkers.

The Philadelphia Price Current
says that the Western distillers have
invented new way of manufacturing
whisky, by means of which a peculiar
strength an odor are impaired to the
product, highly injurious to the health
of consumers, and certainly not credit
able to those engaged in the sale.
Neither the noxious ingredients them
selves nor the process of manufacture
is known to many outside the ring, but
sufficient has leaked out to show the
character of the men and the business.
Sulphuric acid is blended with the
mash, or applied directly to the pro-
duct of the stills, which imparts a
disagreeable ordor to the whisky;
and so powerful is its effect upon it
that it corrodes and eats up the inside
of the barrel in which the foul CON-
pound is kept.
Another feature of this rotgut, sold
under the name of whisky, is that it
cannot be extracted by process of dis
tillation, Redistribution or rectifcation.
This fact has caused itspresence to be
traced in high wines purchased from
the West by respectable distillers here,
and prompted them to shut down on
the nefarious traffic as injurious to
life and the best interests of the trade.
By experiment, it has been tested that
if a small piece of iron or copper is in
serted into a barrel of whisky adul-
terated with this acid, the entire moss
will be instantly blackened and if left
in it for short time will evolve a
large quantity of acetate of copper
verdigris. Such a compound cannot
fail to prove fearfully injurious to the
public health, if brought into general
use; and We are glad to perceive that
a combined effort is contemplated by
the trade altogether. If this be not
sufficient, the consequences are suff-
GENTLY serious to call for some legis-
lative enactment by which the sale of
this poisonous stuff shall be prohibited
under the severest penalties.
The Baron de Posant, who lately
died in Paris, at the az of one hum
bred and two, had an eventful life.
He was page of the unfortunate
Louis XVI., and shared his imprison-
ment during the reign OF terror. He
was lucky enough to escape to Hol-
land, and thus avoid the fate that
overlook his Royal master. He live
ed to see the Republic superseded by
the Empire, the return of the Bour-
bons, their temporary overthrow by
the escape of Napoleon from Elba,
the revolution of 1880 by which the
Orleans family succeeded to the privi-
leges of their Bourbon cousins, the
downfall of Louis Philippe, the rise
and fall of The new Republic and of
the second Napoleonic Empire, and,
dying, left his country in a state
which may safely be termed transit
torial.

the Piundered South.

Every business man north of the Potomac
is directly or indirectly affected BY the i'm
poverishment of the South and yet there are
very few who can appreciate the extent to
dered by carpet-baggerS, or can synpatliZe
with the tax-ridden communities which
these Radical scoundrels have ruined The
taxes with which others are burthened do not
touch us nearly; We only feel such greivan-
cs.S when we ourselves are the sufferers. But
there are wrongs of different kind of which
we readily take cOgnzance; because they are
wrongs of the person; because they are vis-
BILE and fragrant, and bt cause we feel that
what is now done elsewhere may, if permit
ted to continue, be also done some day or
otner to us. Hence it is that the transporta-
tiOn of prisoners from the CarOlinas to "a pri-
son in New York, military rule, arrests with.
out warrant Of law. suspension of the habeess
corpus and all the long list of cruel Outragps
to which the white people OF the South have
been subjected. have arouse an Indignation
which will be one of the strongest influences
in overthrowing Grantisn at the next el-c.
tion But to the South itself. all these things
difficult to bear as they are, have been rem
dered still more painful by the pecuniary dis
plundrrngs and squanderinKs Of the Radical
rulers f,sted into office by the bayonets Of
military and the votes of ignorrnt negroe
The enormous sums Of which the South has
been robbed, are given by a Northern COM
temporary and deserve to be kept before the
people. 1t will be seen that the debt Of the

The Greeley Convention.

''The Democracy and Liberal Repub-
licans of the First Congressional District,
who are opposed to Grant and in favor
of Greeley for the Presidency" assem-
bled in convention, at Rutland, yester-
day, for the purpose of nominating
suitable person to represent this District
in Congress. The convention was call
ed for ten o'clock, but did not assemble
until afternoon. 1t was to have been
expected that, with the large influx of
strangers generally attending these con-
ventions, some difficulty would be found
in procuring a suitable hall or room for
the meeting, and such proved to be the
case. For long time, Notwithstanding
the most persistent effort, search and
inquiry, we were unable to find the con-
yention. The Chairman of the Liberal
Republican State Committee, upon in
quiry being made of him as to their
whereabouts, was unable or ashamed to
give the required information. After
failure at this source, we concluded that
they had taken the advice of the great
and good Horace and ''gOne West. Re
newed search disclosed the fact that less
than taoenty.7oe Liberals and Democrats
were holding Star Chamber" conven-
ton in one of the bedrooms at the
Central House OF these, the only
brilliant lights of the party, outside of
Rutland, were Emerson r. Wright of
Middlebury and Hiram Atkins and
Homer w. Hcaton of Montpelier. The
proceedings of the convention were brief
but decidedly spicy, amusing and enter
tanning. We regret that we cannot give
a verbatim report of their actings, say
ings and doings, but must content our
selves with stating the result to be the
nomination of Hon. Homer w. Heaton
of Montpelier, as "a suitable person to
represent this District in Congress" We
are pleased to announce that the several
railroads were able to convey, homeward
bound, the members of the convention
without the use of extra trains or cars.

Dissolution COMMENCED. The Sep
TENDER and October elections are having
their natural effect ON the handful of
Liberal Republicans, domiciled in Rut-
land, and numbering, according to the
Courier, seventeen. The process of dis
solution, or perhaps we should say, COM
bustion, has already commenced. Ac-,
cording 10 a semi-oaicial report Of the
late d amocratico- Liberal convention, held
in RuflaHd. an 'incendiarv resolution,
as It is termed, was introduced looking
to the endorsement Of Mr. Willard" as
the candidate of the party for Represen-
tative in Congress. This resolution
caused considerable combustion among
the elements there assembled, but the
fire was temporarily smothered, but viii,
