Ms-CR1M1SAL IMpos1TIoN.-A bad bill sub
sttuted for good one is simply d loss to the
pocket of the taker; but Il poisonous stop suDstl
tuted for a DEMONSTRATING medicine lmpcrils the
health of those who mbibe it, and the man who
concocts, or sells, or recommends such an article
is criminal impostcr, and deserves to be'Vslt-
ed with heavier penalty than if he had coun-
terfeited gold pieces or forged bank bills. Many
vile, unwholesome potions now being offered for
sale in various parts of the country as tones
and ''restoratives" are recommended by their
dishonest proprietors and vendors as superior to
The famous national specific, Hostetter's Stom-

thrust these perniclous compounds lntothe hands
and down the throats of lifelong patrons OF the
great vegetable stimulsnt and stomachlc; and
although these conspiracies against health and
life very rarely succeed, it nevertheless seems TO
be duty occasionally to warn the credulous
against them Hostetter's Bitters, the unequal,
led remedy for casual Indigestion, confirmed
dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complain, MALI
rious fevers, constipation, constitutional weak
ness and the functional arrangement of the
weaker sex, has for twenty years stood at the
head of all medicines of its class-so far above
them as to render competition futile thas not

REDUCTION IN PRICE.

We again present to the agricultural commu-
nifty our Fertilizers with renewed confidence, as
equal, if not superior, to any manure otfere for
all crops, not excepting Peruvian Guano. 7 ear
by year their value has become more manifest
as demonstrated by largely increased sales, and
tory and uniform results. Coniining our manu-
facture to materials of highest standard, as
proved by analysis, we claim like results in all
time. On the Wheat crop the testimony is Of
unquestionsble character. We respectfully call
attention to our popular Guano known as
GENUINE HO-PERUVIAN
GUANO
made of the highest standard of Peruvian Guano
and Bone Phosphate Of Lime, with Alkaline
Salts of Potash, Soda &c.
BRANDED AA,
Containing 6 to per cent Amminis.
q" 40 to SO Bone Phosp'e Lime.
Potash, Soda, SC.
Beautifully prepared and adapted to the Drill,
in sacks of IL to the ton, of 1000 pounds,
and sold at $50 per ton-former-
ly $50 per ton.
The character Of this Guano is SO well known
rs to need but little further commentator from
us. Used for many years, it has become a favor
lite with all consumers, and it only requires a
trial to convince all OF its value. The Ammonia
and Bone Phosphate being in rational proper
tons, it can hardly fail to render satisfaction,
improving the quality and increasing the crop
it adds one other most important essential in the
permanent improvement of the land-n this
particular we question whether it has its equal.
1t acts wonderfully upon the grass crop, and to
such an extent as to bring Impoverished lands
up TO high state of fertility equalling Bone
Dust Such is the testimony of many accom-
plishcd planters. We beg the closest investiga-
ton rs to the integrity and manufacture of our
compounds, and earnestly invite all consumers
to inspect our works, material used, and mode Of
manufacture.

wards Of three mortal hours" last night a
crowd of about one hundred colored men and
boys were kept standing on the cold damp
ground, in front of the Marshall House, with
the chilling trosts Of October permeating their
ventilation garments aud sowing the seeds
of ague and rheumatic pains, for the purpose
of listening to three or four Of the patriotic
denizcns of Washington city. who, to prove
their loyalty" and make sure their reward
ia case of the election of Gen Grant, are bound
to make themselves heard and therefore iuflict
upon some poor, unotfendiug community the
penalty Of their recompeuse and Alexandria
being conveniently located, Of course is made
the frequent and patient recipient of such in
flictions.
The first speaker was introduced us Gen. Bah
cock, of ashngton connected IN some way with
the public buildings, who poured out, 10 his Pc
cular way, his vial of wrath upon the Demo-
Gratis Liberal Republicans and Mr. Greeley
for daring to undertake to interfere with his
inallapable right to continue to hold Office. He
dealt in. all the clap-trap about Democrats want.

ever saw" Rebels being blood hounds &c
He spoke with his hat on, though frequently
urged to take it off, and when the steam hire
engine Columbia, brought out by the cry OF
fire. went by, attempted to be particularly witty,
but utterly failed, and finally, when requested
70 stop, bv some Of the managers OF the meet
ing, said he would give way for some one, with
n larger fame but smaller Intellect, whereupon,
A colored mau called Adkins was introduc-
ed and made few concillatory remarks, urging
his coIored friends to educate themselves, be
polite, work faithfully but under any and all
circumstances to vote the Radical ticket.
A Mr.. Scott, who's, historic knowledge
seemed to be con6nd to the names OF few OF
Virgiuas noble sons, whose geographic. ac-
ouirements were bounded by the Confines OF the
State of Iowa, and whose political sagaclty con-
sisted in a knowledge Of the Radical malorltles
in a few of the Northwestern States, told one
or two questionable yarns rejecting rather
severely upon the morals Of the white Radicals
of the north and the colored people or the
south, called Mr.. Greeley old Horace: SAID the
Democrats could never again get into pow
cr and that he was IN favor OF the
ballot being put in the hands OF the black man,
because he knew that class would always, vote
with the Radicals; ergo if the. blacks snou59

ONE Of the noticeable features of the
present campaign is the unusual interest
taken in it by the leading Intelligent people
abroad. From the tone Of foreign journals
concerning the canvass, it is easy to see
that nearly all the most liberal and enlight-
ened thinkers and business men Of Europe
sympathze very fully with the Republican
party, and desire the success Of its candi-
dates. The friends of the Greeley move
ment appear to consist principally of these
who are either preiudiced against Republic
can institutions, as such, or who are in-
terested in the Confederate debt, toward
the ultimate payment of which they seem
to think the election of Mr.. Greeley will in
some miraculous way contribute. But the
philosophers and statesmen, as well as the
leading business classes and most thought
full friends Of free institutions generally, are
-outspoken in their good wishes for Re
publican triumph. These expressions oil
interest are encouraging and gratifying
nor will the warm hopes thus waited to us
across the waters be in anywise disappoint-

SMR. o'CoNoR's reply TO the Louisville
committee has been given to the public,
and we did not deem it worth our while to
more than note the fact as it transpired. In
the correspondence Mr.. O'Conor reiterates
his hearty sympathy with the movement,
and utter detestation of the bargain by
which Greeley was made the candidate Of.
the party, butt he declines formally to ae-
cept the nomination and become candi-
date under the convention system. He
adopts the theory that the people can Sc
lect their President without the interven-
ton of conventions of trading politicians,
and bears testimony to his belief by de-
clining to accept support rendered in that
way. lie intimates that he prefers the
people should be left free to take or reject
him without solicitation on his part. The
committee have taken him at his word, and
declared their purpose to present his name
to the people and rally them TO his sup
port. And so the ticket of O'Conor and
| Adams is fairly in the field. sgsJla as.
