Internal organs which become clogged and sluggish are cleansed by Ayes.'s Pills, and stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease is changed into health, the value of which change when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy it, can hardly be computed.

The Council of the National Board OF Trade,
which Is now in Washington endeavoring to
press its views on Congress-, has made ex.
cellent recommendations on the shipping ques-
ton. Some Of its other views are not az sem
sible or practical, but we cordially endorse
what is urged for the revival of American
shipping and commerce. Indeed, we have all
along argued that the only way to restore our
tonnage and the shipping interests is to permit
ships purchased abroad by our citizens to be
registered under the American flag. The
Judgment of the Board is that every barrier
to the increase of American shipping should be
removed, and a memorial has been presented
to Congress asking that American shipowners
may register under the couDtrys flag, for pur-
poses OF foreign trade, steamers and sailing
vessels wherever built, including also the ton
mage transferred to foreigners during the war.
There are many schemes before Congress pro-
fessedly for the restoration or revival Of
American shipping, but most of them are for
the benefit of few and based upon the prin-
ciple Of protection. Some of them, in fact,
call for vast sums of money from the Treasury
to be paid as bonus or gratuity to those who
undertake to build ships. They are all expe-
dents merely, and wrong in principle. The
way to increase our tonnage, as the Board OF
Trade says, is to let Americans buy ships
where they can get them best and cheapest,
and, wherever built, and to give such vessels
a national character. Then many years would
not pass before the Stars and Stripes would
cover every ocean and sea again, and the
United States become once more the maritime
rival of Great Britain.

The North Carolina Outlaws

In to-day's HERALD we present another
chapter of the extraordinary story Of the law
less Lowerys, of Scufaetown, Robson county,
North Carolina There will be derived from
its perusal tolerably clear idea of what
sort of Generalization was possible
in the South before and during the
war and how hopeless the condition
has remained ever since. The free mulatto
settlement of Scufletown appears to have
only been protected in its freedom by the low
swampiness of the place and other topographic
influences, which caused it little to be
envied by the grasping, jealous whites
of Scotch descent all round. But on reading
this story, dt for locality in the Schwarzwald
and date of five hundred years back, it will
be remarked how circumstances control the
destinies even of the most pronounced
natures, and that the blood-stained
outlaws of Carolina have some root of
provocation in their course. The shooting
of old Allen Lowery and one Of his
sons by the flicker of the torches.
with the negotiating devil in Gods uniform
chanting prayer by his side, with his aged
wife fainting at the sickening sight,
is shocking mind picture the full
measure of whose moral gloom we
but feebly realize as the hoarse whisper
of the boy, Henry Berry Lowery, concealed in
the underground, reaches our ears, calling
down the Mosaic Nemesis of ''blood for
blood" The list of the slain testifies how he
has kept that terrible VOW. We commend
this story to students of the state of the South.

DRUNKENNESS IN FRANCE. -Drunkennes s
hos increased to such an extent throughout
France of late that the government has found
it necessary to give it attention. The Ma
tional Assembly has taken the matter in hand,
and there is little doubt that active measures
will be resorted to with view of suppressng
the vice. A proposition has been introduced
into the House which, if adopted, will entail
o punishment on lovers Of the ardent who in
dulge in this much-deplored falling. Accord
ing to the proposed law first offence will be
punished lightly. second by Imprisonment
and fine, and subsequent offence will entail
the forfeiture of electoral rights. The idea Of
depriving man of the franchise because of
indulgence in the SLOWING bowl is rather a
novel way of Furnishing citizens who will have
their beer. If they must have 1t, however, they
must take the consequences with it.

Congress Yesterdny-A Day Of NOthi ng-

In neither the Senate nor the House yester-
day were the proceedings possessed of par
ticle of public interest. They were to the last
degree dull and commonplace. The House
got in its usual Monday medley of bills for
reference, and then spent couple of hours
over the Deficiency bill The Senate passed
several bills of merely local interest, and then
went into executive session. The resolution
for the appointment of the French Arms Com
mittee was not taken from the table, but still
lies there awaiting action and, meantime,
the House Committee on the Expenditures in
the War Department, which has already had
Secretary Belknap before it, holds its second
session tomorrow, and seems determined to
90 ahead with the investigation, regardless of
the Senate and its committee.
General Porter was examined for over five
hours yesterday before the Senate committee
on the corruptions of the New York Custom
House.

British Conquest in India-Tbe LOOshai
War and Its Commercial Economics.
The English war against the Looshais in
India has been brought to close. Queen
victoria's troops, commanded by Generals
Bouscher and Brownlow, and supplied with
all the requirements and appliances of modern
warfare. from mountain howitzer to boats of
the very lightest water draught and miles and
miles of electric telegraph wire, were too
powerful for the hardy hill men in their native
bravery. Science enabled the conqueror
to scale the loftiest mountain peaks Of
a territory almost unknown hitherto to Euro
peans. This national British persistence has
been rewarded by the opening up of line
of country the soil of which will send forth
the most valuable products when civilization
comes to direct the hands which cultivate it.
and when the necessities of a careful commerce
will compel the residents to look after the
crops. Tea is produced plentifully in some
districts of the country. In this fact we find an
explanation to great extent OF the exciting
cause which induced the war on the part o.

PAssIvIsM Nor REORGANIZATION. The st.

the fears of those who suppose that what is

of the democracy, that the democratic town

new County Central Committees, we're at

remarkable interest and spirit. The demo-

BAD TAsTE.-Referring to the remark made
by Senator Sumner about the ''relic Of injuries
which he sustained sixteen years ago still
clinging to him." the Richmond Enquirer,
usually so courteous, has the bad taste to
say :-"Thus is Brooks, of South Carolina,
felt and remembered long after his death. His
small cane erected him monument more
durable than brass" Wonder if Brooks, were
he to rise from his grave, would declare that
he felt complimented at finding that his
memory was so deeply cherished for an act
remorse for which carried him to an untimely
tomb.
