the "highfalutn" and buncombe speeches Of
these gentlemen who Claim to represent the
honesty of Louisiana. Why, sir, if these in
ternal demagogues had but one-tenth
part of the honesty that has characterized
the actions of the representatives of the
people who have come here in the manner
pointed out by law, they might, with some
show OF decency, parade their champion
ship of honesty and reform. Their very
actions for the last few days give the lie to
their professions. What does reform mean
1t means, sir, if know an.thing about it,
that the expenditures of the State shall be
curtailed and that the time Of the repre-
sentatives of the people shall not be fIit-
tered away uselessly. A whole week las
been wasted that might have been given
to wholesome legislation. And, sir. mark
my prophecy. these recusant Senators, when
they come back here, and when the bill is
made out against them, as hope it will be,
for all the expenses incurred by the
State in trying to bring them back
to their seats, will set up such a howl
as was never heard before in this Senate
Chamber. When the attention of the DeoDle
Is called to the fact that their money is be-

GENERAL wILLIAa A. aUARLEs.

FROM the memphis Appeal.
III anything was wanting to complete the
fame Of the distinguished gentleman whose
name heads this article, as an orator, states
man and reasoner, it was furnished in his
most powerful, brilliant and exhaustive
speech at the Cheathan meeting on Satur-
day night last, which, in many respects,
recalled the better days OF Tennessee, when
the citizen was made proud of the ability of
men who commanded respect, admiration
and confidence. The crowd was the largest,
perhaps, which Gen. Quarles ever ad-
dressed, and it listened to his speech with
breathless attention. Gen. Quarles's speech
was calm, but energetic; dignifed, eloquent
and convincing, without the slightest
discourtesy Of language to any enc.
Gen. Quarles came to Memphis with the
reputation Of a cultivated scholar, an effec-
tive speaker, and logical debater of high
order; but his speech on Saturday night
exceeded the expectation of his friends,
and he leaves our people impressed with
the belief that be is one of the foremost
men of the State. He speaks with great
calmness, lays broad, deep and strong the
foundations Of his arguments, which as he
advances, rise like the pyramid, firm, COM
pact and immoVable. His facts were pre-
sented SO clearly, and his conclusions were
drawn from them in so mastery manner,
hat conviction fastened upon the mind of
every hearer. Gen. Quarles held his audi
ence spell-bound during the delivery Of his
speech. He showed the history of Con-
ventions in Tennessee and the necessity Of
supporting the regular nominees.

SOur stomach,

If the food taken into the stomach is not di-
gested it decompOses. In the latter case pun
gent gas is developed which causes sour eructa-
which rising upward at intervals stings the gul-
let sharply. These extremely disagreeable sen.
sations are attributable to impaired digestion.
To get rid of them, or prevent their recurrence,
1t is only necessary to tone aud regulate the gas
answer to postpone the great corrective with the
idea that the unpleasant symptoms will disap
pear OF themselves. So far from that being the
case, they almost invariably eliminate, If neg
lected, in chronic dyspepsia with its coneomi-
taRts of gnawiDg in the stomach, dizziness, per-
verted vision, headache and sleeplessness 1t is
true that all these dissgreeables may be obviated
By course of the Bitters; but how much wiser
to anticipate their arrival with one or two doses
OF that sure preventive of indigestion and
strengthener of the alimentary organs.
