How to Got Out.

There are several modes OF egrese

resolved into three classes,) out of the
difficulties and embarrassments OF our
present degraded and miserable poll
tical oondition. The fret iavolves.the
consent. goodwill and earnest efforts

should be eliminated, as far as praoti-

parties to be agreed upon some such
plan, and TO be willing to work faith
fully in carrying it into effect -as long
as unchecked and unqualified suffrage
existed, il would make but slow head
way. This. though, would be better
than the anarchy and ruin to which we
are tending. But in scanning the con-
stituent elements of the dominant par
ty, in considering both their words and
acts in recalling their history as it has
been enacted before our eyes. we do
not find any evidence that they have

Senator RObertson.

We had the pleasure, yesterday, OF
meeting Hon. T. j. Robertson, United
States Senator, in good health and
cheerful spirits. He represents that
the public opinion of the whole coun.
try has undergone q great change to-
wards the South generally, and is
taking the shape Of great national
demand that the evils of misgovern-
ment and the outrages of official and
Legislative plundering shall cease to
exist in South Carolina. He men
toned some facts to us illustrative OF
this growing spirit. which are as start
ling in their unexpectedness as they
are hopeful and encouraging.
Senator Robertson's name has fre.
duently been mentioned in connection
with the Office of Governor. His elec-
ton to the position would be quite
acceptable to the Conservatives, as an

Taxes Enough,

at the meeting held last Monday of
the voters of School District No. l, it
was decided to levy tax of one mill
for school purposes. This tax was i'm
posed principally by the vote Of the
Conservatives present, several persons
known as Radicals having suggested
smaller tax, and one, and may be
more, no tax at all. In little COM
ment which we have. seen upon this
result, it is stated that it shows that
"the Conservatives are beginning to
realize the fact that the people ought
to be educated"
After acquiescing cheerfully in the
appropriation of 100000 annually,
besides the proceeds of the poll tax,
to educational purposes, nearly all Of
it going to the benefit of "the people"
who do not pay it. 1t is little hard to
be told that they are at the dawn of
better Intelligence, that they "are be.
ginning to realize," sc. If we were
not among the most amiable and con-
siderate Of men, and if we were not a
staunch friend of education, we would
be tempted to say. that such language
is just retribution for a superservioe-
able zeal in this matter--a zeal not ao-
cording to knowledge. We mako big
complaint about taxes, and yet are
ready, at moments warning, to add
to The burden, vainly hoping to ac-
complish some imaginary good. Who
knows what becomes of money raised
for school purposes2 AS at present
advised, We are in favor of no further
tag, however speoioas may be the pre-
text. The great business of every man
is to try to reduce oil such imposi-
tions. They are eating up the very
substance and marrow of the people.
What sustains the rotten concern of a
government that We have but taxes?
Whoever wants to overthrow the one,
will not be swift to add cent to the
other.

The FRENCH ASSEMBLY. Many peo-
pie read the telegraphed reports OF
proceedings in the French Assom bly,
and become hepelessly confused when
the despntcbes are talking about the
Left. the Right. the Right Centre and
the Left Centre. By reference to the
following explanation they may be
able to acquire some knowledge OF
what is going on in that extraordinary
body:
The Left is composed of the Repub.
licans, of whom Leon Gambetta and
Jules Favre arc leaders.
The Extreme Left is Radical Re.
publican, or Communist.
The Loft Centre is made up OF the
Conservative Republicans-th men
who are willing to accept republic as
the best practicable form of Govern
ment. Thiers and Casimer Periere are
leaders in this branch of the bly,.
The Right is composed of tho Legi-
timists or Bourbons-thc ultra, divine.
right, white flag, Chambord mo-
anarchists.
Lie hiSuL Centro represents the
Conservative Monarchists, or Or
leanists, who favor constitutional
monarchy of the conservative type.
The Bonapartists are generally
classified with the Right, but there are
only about forty.fve or fifty of them.
The deputies comprising the Assem-
bly, number 1888, 1913 of whom are
elected in France and fifteen in the

The DISEASE OF CIVILIZATION. DIR.
Warren, author OF the "Honsehold
Physician" tells us that dyspepsia is
disease of oivilization-that savages
know nothing of it. We do not believe
the latter statement. Savages some.
times gurge themselves until they can
scarcely move; and as they are hu-
man beings, and not anacondae, they
must necessarily suffer the pangs of
indigestion. Undoubtedly, however,
in consequence of their luxurious
habits, the civilized and enlightened
portion OF mankind are most subject
to dyspepsia. This being the case.
what are the civilized and enlightened
dyspeptics going to do aboutit? What
large proportion of them are doing
about i: now is simply this: They are
taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as
remedy, with unvarying and complete
success. From all parts of the United
States, from all the Spanish republics,
from the West Indies, from various
parts of Europe and from the anti
podes, Australasia, evidences OF its un-
riValled properties as specific for
casual and chronic indigestion is con-
tinually being received. The result is,
that the consumption Of the great
tonic and Alternative is rapidly increas-
ing throughout the civilized world.
The nations, near and remote, as well
as our own people, have discovered
that as preventive and remedy for
diseases OF the digestive organs, end
oil ailments of the liver, bowels, nerves
and general system, which are gene
rated or aggravated by imperfect di.
gestion, it has no equal either among
oficinal or proprietary medicines.
