A BITTER CoSTRovERsY.-Thet temper
ance organs are waging bitter war ON
the manufacturers of alcoholic bitters,
and their attacks are resented with equal
bitterness by the latter, who seem deter
mined to prosecute the quarrel to the
bitter end. In the meantime novelty
in tonic medicines is making immense
progress in the confidence of all classes
and conditions of society throughout the
United States and British America. We
refer to Dr. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VIM
EGAR BrrTERs, and we call it "a novelty
in tonics because it contains no alcohol
An article heretofore considered essen
tial in medicinal invigorants. The alb
stemious portion of the community APP
prove the omission, and as the new
remedy is curing dyspepsia, biliousness,
nervous affections, and, in fact, ma
jority OF the diseases, external and
internal, which prevail, it is difficult to
see how the more self-indulgent portion
of our fellow-citizens can conscientiously
object to it. One thing is certain if
ever there was what the French call
"grand success" the sudden and con-
tinually increas ng popularity of the
VINEGAR Buffers deserves that name.
The advocates of temperance point to
the salutary effects produced 10y this III
alcoholic restorative rs IA proof that
spirituous stimulants are not needed for
medicinal purposes-a position which
has been recently taken by many eminent
medical practitioners. - Com.

The Cheap Postage Bill.

The lower house of Congress has passed the
Cheap Postage bill reported not long ago from
the Postottice Committee. The bill reduces
letter postage to two cents for each half ounce
or fraction thereof, declares magazine and
newspaper manuscripts to belong to the third
class of mailable matter, fixes the postage on
daily newspapers at fifteen cents per quarter
and requires prepayment of postage on all
printed matter, or mailable matter, Of the
second class except on weekly newspapers
within the counties where they are printed or
published. which will pass through the mails
free. a. heretofore. As il originally came
from the committee the bill restricted the
newspaper Thanking privilege to weekly
newspapers within the respective counties
where the same are actually and lchOly
and wholly which would seem to have been
inserted for the purpose of discriminating
against those weeklies which are printed partly
in the cities by auxiliary establishments
and partly at the place of publication, were
very properly stricken out. Country publish
ers who print their newspapers ACTUALLY and
wholly in their own Offices have a right to
their own opinion of country insides. or
country outsides,' of course. but Congress
has no right to force their opinion down other
peoples Threats. Ii people choose to sub
scribe and pay for papers printed on the auxil-
iary plan, they have perfect right to do so,
and publishers have right to supply the de-
mand for papers of this description 1t is not
for Congress TO inquire of publishers where
they have their printing done. They may have
il done in their garrets, or i'll their cellars or
they may pay others for doing it thousand
miles away If they please Congress has
nothing to do with the business. CHICAGO
Times.
Our Chicago contemporary takes Il
correct and sensible view of this matter.
He might have gone step further, how
oil lot In Of
pertinence, to say the least, on the part
of certain members of Congress to at
tempt 10 defile our national statute books
with such manifestly unjust piece of
class legislation--a piece of Legislation
more in keeping with the barbarism of
the dark ages than with the liberal and
enlightened sentiment of the present
century. 1t is matter with which Con-
cress nor any other Legislative body has
no sort of concern, and in meddling
with which they are stepping wholly
bevond the pale of their legal preroga-
tive. If Congress possesses the legal
right to dictate TO the publisher the
mode. manner and place for the execu-
I;on of the mechanical work of his paper.
Il possesses an equal right to enact that
he shall use straw paper instead of rag
naner that he shall use large type in
Stead of small type; that he shall use a
had quality of ink instead of a good
onalitv: that he shall use hand press
instead of a steam press and altogether,
.bat he shall furnish his patrons with an
inferior instead of II good, readable
sheet. For. in reality, the outrageous
determination attempted would have
amounted 70 this, and nothing less.

What Chester Says

We copy the following from the
Chester Reporter, from which it Will
be seen that the people of that section
are anxious to have j railroad connec-
tion with Newberry, What is to pre-
vent it? The more railroads We have
the better for US in every respect:
"As it is now, We are almost vir-
tually cut off from Charleston, the
management of the Charlotte, Colum-
bia and Augusta Railroad being such
as to destroy all communication be-
tween the up-country and that city,
unless by suffering long detention at
Columbia. The Greenyiile and Co.
lumbia Railroad is owned by the
South Carolina Railroad, and if we
could reach Newberry we could avail
ourselves Of the through schedule re-
Gently adopted between Charleston
and Greenville. In addition to this,
the fertilizers that are used 50 exten-
sively on onr farms could be shipped
from Charleston to this place without
being unloaded. This would reduce
very materially the freight charges,
and would to that extent lessen the
cost of raising cotton"

idea direction aud life. We may cor
clude that a Home Insurance Com.
panv is all established fact. 1t only
remains now for our citizens to. take
stock quickly and literally that d
President and Board Of Directors may
be elected, and the means be placed
in reach whereby insurance may, be
effected.
There can be no question Of doubt
that such an institution, properly off,
cered and equipped, will be a success,
and that in very short time, the
small capital on which it is started,
will be swelled into sum equal to
that of the Georgia Home Insurance
Company, which commencing in a
limited way soon reached the fatter,
inc sum Of 100000, and whose
stock is now considered the best in the
market.
We see no reason why the Newber,
ry Home Insurance Company cannot
be great success.
