ms- Summer ksiseases.-ThE GREAT
r E NJ E D Y-BAKER'S PREMIUM BIT
TIERS.
from Editor of Norfolk Herald.1
This is the season which these celebrated Bit
ters are mostly sought after, and possessing as
they do worldwide fame, it is hardly necessa-
~ to impress upon the mind of the invalid their
tercourse heard but one expression in their ia
vor, and that is, whenever used they act like
charm, and prove more eficacious than any
medicine that has ever been offered to the pub
lie. The maker of these Bitters uses no highly
wrought panegyrics or flaming hand-bills to fur
ther the sale of his Bitters but simply throwing
the article on its own merits to be judged accor-
dinghy. He does not, like all the quack stuff
now in use, say that it will cure all the ills COM
mon TO humanity; but he stakes his reputation
that whenever taken according to directions it
will cure Ague and Fever, Dyspepsia Bowel
Complaint, Cholera Morbus, Indigestion, Sour
Stomach, Loss of Appetite, and all diseases
arising from torpidity of the Liver and inaction
had.

CAPT. JOHN S. BYERs.-We observe, in the
Richmond papers of Saturday, notice of the
fact that a requisition had been made by the
Gov. of West Va. upon the Gov. of Virginia for
the delivery of Capt. Byers to the authorities
of the former State as a fugitive from justice,
and that Gov Walker had issued his warrant of
rendition accordingly. These papers state that
the charge made against him is that he obtained
money or goods from one Mr.. Scrannage upon
false pretences. 1t is due to him to state that, as
soon as he learned that such proceeding had been
taken, he came Immediately from his home in
this County to this City and notified the officers
that he desired at once to proceed to West Vir-
gnia to have the charge investigated, and that
he forth With proceeded with the person having
the warrant by the first train on the G. G O. e. E.
Capt. Byers is poor man, and has been I'M
fortunate in business but there is no man in the
County Of Augusta who has higher character
for integrity and fair ealing, and there is no
human being in the County or City, where he
he has lived all his life, who for one instant be-
leves the charge to be true.
The greatest sympathy was felt for him and
his interesting and most respectable family,
when it was known that such proceeding had
been TAX en- against him, for every one felt that
very cruel injustice was being done him, and
there were many friends who would willingly
have paid the amount claimed by Scrannage,
had Capt. Byers been willing thus to have per-
mitted such an attack upon his good name to be
compromised. Scrannage was with the officer
to whom Capt. Byers was directed to be deliver
ed, and no doubt thought that he was adopting
the most efficient of getting his money
through the sympathies of the many friends of
the accused. He was here, we are informed,
some nine months ago, endeavoring to collect his
money, and failing in this, he went off vowing
vengeance. We do not know what he will swear,
nor do we know anything of his character, but
it will require very strong evidence ever to pro-
duce the conviction in the minds of our citizens
that Capt. Byers is anything but an honest man.
for they have known him always unfinching in
his integrity and scrupulously exact and honest
under circumstances to which fortunately few
of our people have been subjected. We trust
that the Richmond papers will do an upright
though unfortunate man the favor of publishing
this article, and relieve, to some extent, the NOR
tifcation to which he has been subjected whilst
struggling against misfortune

THE SALARY QUESTION.

The House report accompanying the bill
for the raising Of certain salaries paid by the
government is paper Of general interest.
The reasons which call for an increase of sal
aries are plainly stated. The bill fixes the
salaries as follows:
President of the United States, $50, 900 per
annum; Vice President of the United States,
$4,000; Chief Justice of the United States,
$500; Justices of the United States Su-
preme Court, $40 900; Cabinet officers, Sl0,-
600; Speaker of the House, $4,000; mem
bers of Congress, $4,000; (this includes
Mileage is abolished, and actual travelling ex-
penses allowed.
The committee say in their report.
Upon the formation of the Government the
salary of the President was fixed at S25, 900
in gold. Since then the country has increas.
ed tenfold in population, and more than that
many times in wealth and revenue. The ex-
pense of living has increased in almost, if not
quite the same ratio. Notwithstanding, how
ever, these or eat and striking changes, and

never been any increase of the Presidents
salary, 1t ha wing remained the same for over
eighty years, in the midst of changes on all
other subjects. 1t will not be disputed that
500, 900 at this time in currency is not equal
in value to S25, 900 eighty years ago in gold.
The former sum will not now purchase as
much of anything in use as the latter would
three quarters of century ago. If it should
be insisted that this disparity in the compen-
sation of the President of former and the
Presidents of the present period is removed
by extra allowances made by modern legisla-
ton, your committee think that such a view is
not sustained by the history of the country.
An examination Of that subject shows that the
earlier Presidents were literally provided by
Congress with furniture, servants, and even
horses and carriages. Besides their salaries,

TEMPERANCE Reform STATE con
VENTION

We hope and expect that the temper
ance convention to be held in this city on
Thursday next will be largely attended.
A fairer, broader, more liberal call for
temperance action was never issued. 1t
is gratifying to note the cordial feeling
growing up between temperance men in
the State of all shades Of opinion in rela-
ton to the means of reform and suppress
sion of intemperance. They find as they
come together and compare notes that all
are aiming at the same result-the pro-
motion Of temperance-though by differ
ent methods. The Reformer would save
men by turning them away from their
cups and by arousing the moral sense of
individuals and communities to resist,
break away from, and cast behind them,
the tempter. The Prohibitionists would
shield the public from the evil of intemp-
erance by making the sale of liquor Grim
inal and preventing the growth of tip
ping shops. These agencies must work
together. The Rsformer prepares public
sentiment for the stringent measures of
the Prohibitionist. Without public senti-
ment to sustain them laws are useless up
on the statute books. The Prohibitionist
is the force that comes on, holds, and
maintains the ground that the front line
has won. Parts Of the same temperance
army, both are marching the same way,
striking at the same foe. We trust the
organization of the Reformefs will spread
into every town, and that the convention
will arouse deep enthusiasm in the work
of saving the Incorporate. 1t has the
best wishes Of the public for its success.
The Retormers have accomplished great
good the past year, may they do even bet
ter in the one upon which they have en-
tered.
