MANrEn TO RE HEARD ERnAr-

II anybody has ever used the thorough and
scientific course OF treatment recommended by
the proprietor Of Or. Sages Catarrh Remedy for
the cure OF Catarrh, and has not been perfectly
cured, the Proprietor, DR. X. V. Pierce. would
like to hear from that person, and by address,
Ing him at the Worlds Dispcnsary, Buffalo, n.
u, such person, II there be one. VIII hear OF
something to his or her advantage, as the Doc
tor Is In earnest when he offers $500 reward for 4
case Of Catarrh which he cannot cure, and Is
perfectly able to pay 1t II he fails in a single
case, as any one may ascertain upon inquiry.
The thorough course OF treatment referred to,
and recommended by Or, Fierce, consists IN the
use OF Dr. hagea Cptarrl remedy with Dr.
Pterce's Nasal DOuche, which is the only means
by which the fluid can be carried high up and ap-
chambers connected thereWitn in which ulcers
exist, and from which the discharge proceeds.
In addition to this thorough application OF the
Remedy, which shOulu always be used warm,
DR.. Plerco's Golden Medical Discovery must
be taken earnestly, as constitutional treat
mcnt, without which few cases can be cured as
the disease ID always constitutional and should
be treated accordingly. This treatment has no
unpleasant features about 1t, and has tho ad-
vantage OF never driving the disease to the
lungs, as there IS danger of doing by the use Oh
strong, irritating Snuifs or poisonous solutions

GENERAL SHELDON.

In thanking General Sypher for his &C
tive aid in the passage CT the Fort st. Philip
canal bill, we had no intention to overlook
General She ldon or ignore his valuable
services. His speech on the subject, which
we thank the Associated Press agent for
sending, is able, convincing and exhaus-
tive. There is no attempt at empty declam-
alton in it, but compact argument,
founded upon undisputable, scientific
and natural facts, which General Sheldon
has marshaled with eonsumate skill. Thus
while Messrs. Morey and Smith have de-
voted their energies to calculating facts
about our levees to lay before Congress,
Generals Sheldon and Sypher have been
promoting the cause of the canal. To each
and all of these gentlemen is due large
debt of gratitude by their constituents.

The CITY authorities would find them

The city authorities would find them
selves in cur ious sort of a dilemma if
they were to at tempt to follow the advice
of the various editors and writer's for the
Bulletin. The positive writer comes out
in the tallest type to be found on the
catalogue to ask why the creditors of the
city, especially the sch DOL teachers, are
not paid. When informed Of the true
reason, the delay in collecting the taxes,
the negative writer's take o turn at the
editorial crank and give it several vigor-
GUS turns backward. They insist that the
taxpayers shall be let alone because it will
be inconvenient to pay. Now, in the
midst of so much coed amateur advice,
there is this imperfection. No way is
pointed out by which the Council can dis
charge the first duty without attending
strictly to the last. Unless it is expected
that the Administrators shall pay all the
public expenses out of their own pockets,
they must be allowed to enforce the laws
for the collection of taxes. To deny them
this right is in effect to declare the city
government at an end, and the corpora
ton no better than pauper. But as all
this parade of sympathy is intended for
political effect and so understood by all
parties, it has little or no influence We
regret, however, to see so much talent
wasted in su oh manner.

OUR FAITHFUL AGENTS.

In the midst of our rejoicings over the
passage of the Fort st. Philip canal bill
by the House, we should not forget to
give due credit to those most accomplished
engineers and fait hful advocates, Pro-
lessor Forshey and General Hebert. Ac-
credited by our Chamber of Commerce,
they entered upon the discharge Of their
difficult duties at time when our hopes
of ultimate success were faint, and the
opposition very formidable. But acting
in conjunction with Generals Sypher and
Sheldon, and our other faithful represen-
tatives, they succeeded in making such a
showing before the committee as to finally
turn the tide in our favor, which
at one time seemed to be setting
in against us. Their personal ac-
qnaintance with the able corps Of United
States engin GERS, steadfast friends of the
canal from first to last, enabled them to
render great and efficient service in the
cause they were engaged in. The Cham
Der of CONNIE rec owes these two dstin-
guished gentlemen vote of thanks for
the energy and zeal they have displayed
in their mission. As they well say in
their report to the Chamber, what they
have done has been accomplished by en-
ploying reason and science to make
friends for the work. Not dollar has
been expended directly or indirectly to
secure the favor of any one, and their ex-
penses, which have been light, have been
incurred in supplying personal wants
while thus enga ged. We regard these
facts as gratifying and creditable to all
in carrying the great measure
through the popular branch Of Congress.
