4 PEA TOR TIE SNoKERs.-A vast deal is
written of the rights Of people who do not
smoke. and the way in which they are IN
lringcd by smokers While no one detends
the ;mpudeut putting Of tobacco smoke into
into the faces Of men, women, and children,
il Is nevertheless true that the smokers, who
form @ majority Of the whole population,
have some rights Of their own. \ ct they
are treated by all railway and steamboat
companies as though they deserved to incur
a roualty for every cigar consumed. On the
railway the smoking car is usually the
Oldest, dirticst, and worst in the company.
and it is uniformly placed next to the engine
or baggage car, 50 that in the event OF
collision the presumably worthless smoker
shall have the first opportunity to be smash
ed. On most steamboats,, instead Of permit
ting men 70 smoke on the after deck, they
are banishod to the extreme bow, whence
,heic smoke Is evenly distributed over the
boat, while they run the chances Of being
trampied upon by horses, and crushed by
falling boxes. No one wishes that smokers
should be permitted to annoy those who do
not smoke, bat since at least every, other
man IS smoker, why should he not be de-
Gently accommodated ?-Nur York Iimes.

Iiber,ll Rennblio.ni.m b,a Il, birth in Tenne..e.

Liberal Republcsnism had its birth in Tennessee
with the election Of Senter in 1869. He himself
with hundreds Of other Republicans had voted
for him, but the result was lamentable. They
secured democratic administration. which has
kept Tennessee back four years in the path o.
progress. The same trick succeeded in Missouri
and Virginis, sending Frank Blair to the Senate.
and Masking Walker Governor. The secret OF
the unanimous advocacy Of Horace Greeley oy
the rebels Of the South was that they expected to
be paid for their slaves. They have kept
record of them all; and hardly an ex-rebel but
what has got from $1,000 to $4,000 in confeder-
ate bills and bonds hid swsy, expecting they VIII
become good in the event Of the triumph OF the
South at the polls. Gen. 7. read from the
speeches Of Southern members Of Congress to
show thst Mr.. Greeley was only accepted oy

should be continued in power. healthy repuoh-

The election ofSHorace Greeley,
which is now as. certain as any future
event can be, willnot only restore
good feelings between the two sec
lions and the two races, but it will
restore the Constitution, the rights of

liberty, honesty, Justice, and purity

who;is not ane Office holder, or the
friend of an oaice;holder, can prefer
General Grant with.his past admins
tratiQn 20 Horace Greeley, is, to me
passing strange; he has the welfare
Of his country at4beart. Greeley is
a civilian and Grant is a military
chieftain; GreeleyEis a statesman Of
enlarged, comprehensive, and patri-
otto views; Grantsadmits that he has.
I" no policy lin osher words, no
statesmanship-and Hsmeasures prove
it. Greeley is an honest, pure man,
SO acknowledged BY all; Grant has
received gifts and appointed the CIV
.srs to the highestspositions in his
Cabinet. Lord Bacon, the wisest,
greatest Of mankind, was impeached
and disgraced for receiving gifts from
servitors in his court though in every
case he decided according 10 law.
Greeley will have around him the
purest and ablest men in this repub-
lie; Grant is surrounded by corrupt
and unprincipled mens who shape all
his measures. In hisnegotiation with
reference to Santo Domingo, Grant
set at defiance the Constitution and
law of nations and susurped the war
powers of Congress. and then conde,
acended to lobby hismeasures before

The North Carolina Eagle says Gov
ernor Vance spoke a few days ago a,
Newton with Col. Steele and Hon. T
S. Ashe. Governor Vance arose amid
loud and long cheering. He began
by saying that he was very torcibly
struck with the appropriateness OF
the air the band had just played
"Come out Of the Wilderness He
said he had Just returned from Balti-
more, from the'most enthusiastic Con-
vention he had ever attended, where
he saw what he had never seen be-
fore, nor ever expected to see: old
blue Republicans and Democrats sha-
king hands, and all going for Greeley.
He saw many men who were willing
to bet everything they we're WORTH
thousands Of dollars-that Greeley
would carry every State in the Union
except, perhaps, three. He was not
so sanguine, but he believed that
Greeley would carry every State ex-
cept four or five.
Why, gentlemen, he said, the woods
are on fire; there is an earthquake
coming; the Office holders are shaking
in their boots. The fact is the thing
had gone so far that it was bound to
stop. The corruption and stealing Of
the Radicals created a stencil so great
that, it was said, "the man in the
moon, las he passed over Washing
ton, was forced to hold his nose.

LONELINESS ON THE INcREAsE.-A

the eye delighting result of the immense
popularity which HAGAN's MAGNOLIA

hue of health arc commonly met with
whenever it is used. For the salloI and
unwholesonle appearance Of the face and

effect of any personal attraction the Cwn--

In Sheep's Clothing.

Tie curtain has fallen upon the
frightful farce which has been played
at Columbia, during the past week,
for the edifcation and at the expense
of the people of South Carolina.
Looking back at the shameful sayings
and doings Of the two factions, and
weighing the merits or dement's OF
the rival tickets which they have
presented for popular support, we
are forced to the conclusion that there
is no phase of the rascality which
rules our State more thoroughly de-
serving the distrust and contempt Of
honest men thar that which now
seeks to cloak it's greed for place and
plunder under the mantle Of Reform.
The cry Of Z" Stop Thiet!" comes too
late to be regarded as sincere. The
people can very well afford to be-
lieve all that tho. yirtuous Boilers
have said OF the degradation and
crimes Of tt eir late political associ-
ates; but they cannot forget that the
lips of most of these new Apostles of
Reform remained sealed as long as
there was a dollar in the Treasury to
divide, and until all hope had van
i>hed that thay themselves could lead
the corrupt crew whom they arc now
SO % Indignantly denouncing We say
to Mcssrs. Orr, Corbin & Go. that the
white taxpayers OF The State, without
whose active cooperation they are
powerless, take no stock in their in:
genious little game Of Reform. Zine
words butter No parsnips,' and, if
these Rspubican, saints can give us
nothing more substantial than the
cheap promises and glittering gener-
alities of their platform, we are at a
loss to see wherein they excel the
sinners whom they have left. The
State Treasury is hardly likely to
suffer less, II placed af the mercy OF
a new and hungry gang, than from
the rogues who are already gorged
with plunder. We may not be able
TO sop the organized robbery of the
public Golfers !; but we car. at least,
decline to take any part in furnishing
the keys to men who admit that they
nave for years been the silent asso-
ciates, if not the accomplices, of the
most shameless thieves ofitne century.

A TERRIBLE CR1MEyF1vE DAYS
IN A WAGON WITH THE V1cT1MS.-
A dispatch, dated the 2lst, from
Mayesville, Mo-, to the Philadelphia
Evening Herald, is as follows:
An atrocious murder was brought
to light yesterday by the arrest of a
man named Osborne, at Clermont, a
small town twelve miles northwest Of
this city. 1t appears that Osborne
was travelling with a team and cover
ed wagon, and stopped for some pur-
pose, when some men were attracted
to the wagon by a stencil proceeding
from it.
Upon examining the wagon five
dad bodies were found. Osborne
confessed, at the end of a rope, that
the murders were committed by one
Williams, near Holton, Kansas, and
that he (Osborne) was employed to
take the bodies oft Of the way. he
confessed that he had travelled with
his load FIVE days.
From a memorandum found on the
body Of one Of the victims it isinfer-
red that they We're movers, consist

Valuable Hints.

A regular habit of body is absolutely
essential to physical health and ciearness
of intellect Nor is this all. Beauty of
person cannot co:eXist with an unnatural
condition of the bowels. a free passage
of therefusc matter of thesystem through
these natural waste pipes, is as necessary
10 the purity of the body as tho free pas
sage OF tho offal of u city through its
sewers is necessary to the health of its
inhabitants.
Indigestion is the primary cause of
most OF the diseases OF the discharging
organs, and one of its most common re-
suits is constipation. This complaint.
besides being dangerous i'll .tscif, has
many disagreeable conccmit:uits-such
as en- unpleasant breath, an unpleasant
breath, a sallow skin, contaminating
blood and bile, .hemorrhoids, heanache,
loss of memory, and general debility.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters remove all
these evils by removing their immediate
cause in thedigestive organs, and regula-
ting the action OF the intestines. The
combination of properties in this cele.
brated preparation is one Of its chief
merits. 1t is lot merely a stimulant or
loillc, or an antlDll0uS agent, or a
nervine, or a blood depurent, or a cathar-
tic, but oil these curative clements Judi
ciously blended i'll one powerful restora-
tive. 1t lends activity and vigor to the
inert and enervated stomach, relieves
sile alimentary canal of its obst.uctions,
and gives tone to the membrane which
Lipesit, gently stimulates the liver, braces
the nerves, and, cheers the animal spirits.
NO other remedy Possesses such a variety
OF hygienic Virtues. 1t is to these char
acteristic virtues that it owes its prestige
as household medicine. Experience
has proved that it is as harmless IS is is
eiicacious, and hence it is as popular
with the weaker sex Us with the stronger.
Hpstetter's Stomach Bitters are sold in
bottles only, and tho trademark blown
in the glass and engraved on the label is
The test of genuineness. Beware Of
:ounterfeits.

The Republican psI;iy and tho IL

The Taxpayers Convention were
solemnly assured by the Republican

debt. 1t is now conceded Il ! oxen
six millions of bonds have l. an lIe-
gally issued, and Large amounts mis-
appropriated, in violation of the Acts
which created them. Both wings OF
the now Radical party have alike cast
aside, in their nominations, the chief
State officials, then ard now in pow
er, and admit to the fullest extent
tie proAiaate character of their Adj
minisira.ioa. The heretofore rule Of
the Republican party in this State,
is denounced by botl as corrupt, and
a betrayal Of every trust confided to
it. We have, Therefore, both TIE
