Approved By the Imperial Academy

of Medicine
The Quinium Labarraque is an eminently
tonic and febrifuge Wine, destined toreplace
all the other preparations Of Peruvian Bark.
The Bark Wines usually employed inme-
dicine are prepared from Barks which vary
considerably in the degree to which they
possess the desired properties. Besides,
owing to the manner in which they are pre-
pared, these Wines contain scarcely more
than the traces Of active principles, and
these always in variable proportions.
The Quinium Labarraque, approved by
the Academy of Medicine, constitutes, on The
contrary, medicine of determined compo-
sition, rich in active principles, and on wich
Physicians and Patients can always rely.
The Quinium Labarraque is prescribed
with great success for persons Of weak con-
tilution, or for those debilitated by various
exhausting causes or past sickness; for youths
faiigued by too rapid growth; for young
girls whose development takes place with
difficulty; for women in childbirth; and for
aged persons enlcebled by years or illness.
1t is the best prescrvative against Feyers.
In cases of Chlorosis, Anemia, or Greensik-
ness, this Wine is a powerful auxiliary of
The ferruginous preparations. In conjunction,

themselves with quasi-humorous debate Oh
the subject of woman suffrage.
Much indignation is excited by message OF
the State treasurer, who informs the members

this Is violation Of the agreement under |
which the financial bills were passed. Alto |
ge,her the indecorousness and turbulence

tic OF this peculiar body, and are in every
way appropriate to the final act Of the sorry
farce known as the session OF the General

THE VALIDATING ACT.
Protest OF the 1ndependen Senators.

SENATE CHAMBER, March 12, 1872.
We protest against the passage Of "a bill
relating to the bonds of the State of South
Carolina" for the following reasons:
First. If there has been mo bonds OF the
State of South Carolina issued without author
ity Of law" then the requirements this bill
are presumptuous and unnecessar.
Second. II the several acts cited in the pre-
amble of the bill justified the financial mana
gers of our State Government In the issue of q
larger amount of bonds than The public or the
General Assembly supposed had been issued,
and 'the true intent and meaning of the several
acts' was the warrant and authority for such
strength can be leglslated into 1.-THE acts Of
the officers of the State" by the spec.ous dec
laration OF the bill, viz: That the said bonds
and obligations Issued on behalf of the State
as set forth in the report of the treasurer of
this State to the General Assembly. dated Oc-
tober 3lst, 1871, were duly and lawfully issued
In conformity with the true intent and mean
ing Of the several acts of the General Assem-
bly,.
Third. That which ls already valid and can
not be overthrown or set aside by virtue OF Its
legality or equity, needs no additional act OF
legislation to convince or coAflrm the public
mind of Its soundness.
Fourth. Because such has been the charac..
ter OF the statements made BY the officers OF
this State as to the public debt, and the prodi-
gal issue of bonds to increase the same. which
would not have been closed, even at the pre-
sent moment, had not the fact been unwilling.
" wrung from them that 'doubts have arisen"
In the public mind not only with regard to tine
integrity of the said officers, but the legality
of their action; and from such combination
has ssthe credit of this State been affected"
which cannot be repaired by the questionable
passage of a bill ratifyiDg and confirming In all
things their acts and assertions.
The bill gives these officers renewal OF
authority to continue the issue and conversion
OF bonds without limit, and makes no pro-
vision for the cancel alton of such bonds as
have already been converted, and are, accord
ing to the language of the Governor, 'ff on
the market, fraudulent" Such powers redele-
gated In the face Of knowledge of the great
excess of issue Of the bonds OF the State to
the ve,y officers who have abused the eond-
dence, and betrayed the trusts reposed In them,
is as unwise as 1t dangerous.
Sixth. Because the bill itself Is the strong.
est evidence of the invalidlty Of the acts OF
those who ask US to reinstate them In popular
favor by validating their confessedly doubtful
transactions.

The suEz CANAL.-From the opening of the
Suez canal In November, 1869, to the end of
1870, the tonnage passing through the canal
was 1856 During the year 1871 the ton
mage was ,4Os. OF the whole amount 556,..
62l tons was British. figures which show that
Britannia still rules q great many waves. At
two dollars ton the receipts of the canal may
be easily calculated. In the bright picture OF
future trade held up by NJ. De Lesseps. the
traffic OF the canal was placed at 5000. 900
tons per year, and the receipts at sl2, ,OOO. 900.
In report made to bis stockholders last July,
M. De Lesseps estimates bis receipts Tor the
year 1871 at 81 100000, and his expenses at
s3,7OO,OOO By the above statement of I'LL
400 tons, the receipts were but sl,542, ,Sls for
last year, leaving deficit OF more than Two Two
and quarter of millions of dollars. In 1870
there was deficit of 81, 200. 900, making a total
sum of three and half millions chargeable to
profit and loss. De Lesseps proposed in the
report under notice loan of 81, 600. 600, SO as
to have a balance on hand, and he hoped at
the end Of 1874 to pay interest on shares.
Now. the canal hardly pays interest on Its
bonds,
