The TRUTH IN A NuTsHEEL.-The
New York Sun of the 7th inst. thus
truthfully and graphically sums up
the plots and schemes of the Repub-
lican party and the real designs up
on the people of Louisiana: 4,
The whole business is ON election
eering scheme, and the trouble in
louisiana was started BY Kellogg's
vile emissaries, with the express pur-
pose Of provoking difficulty,rin order
to furnish an occasion for calling in
the military. That the Attorney
General was party to this deviltry
will hardly be disputed by those who
have watched his unscrupulous
course, who have seen him scorned
even by his own party, who knew
him to be essentially corrupt, and
who have no faith in his public or
personal integrity where the least
interest is involved. He is worthy
to be the expounder Of Grantism, and
a fit tool for all his enormlties. %

The Cant Of Impostors.

1t is so obvious that physical and
constitutional vigor is the best defense
against disease, that even the vendors
Of drastic purgatives advertise them as
tonics, stomachics and iDvigorants, in
the hope of enlistiug the confidence of
the public in the devitalizing and per-
nicious potions. It is amusing to note
how these impostors initiate and copy
the language in which the medicinal
properties Of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers are described. Although the ef-
feet of their rasping evacuants is to de-
stroy the tone of the digestive organs
and the bowels, and to rob the system
of it's vital strength, they are unscru-
pulously recommended to the weak and
PROSTATE victims of disease as stimu-
lants! 1t is time this humbug mot a
very successful one it is true, thanks to
the mature common sense of the Amer
lean people) was stigmatized as it de-
serves. Such mischievous falsehoods
should be exposed pro bono publico.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, be it dis
tinctly understood, is a stimulant. 1t
has a spirituous basis, and that basis is
the vehicle which diffuses it's wonder
'ul sanitary principles through every
part of the system. The tonic, alter
alive and regulating ingredients of the
Bitters would be comparatively liner,
if they were not, so to speak, carried to
the localities where they are required
by the stimulating agent. The cant
which protests against the use of a
pure alcoholic fluid, when employed as
a means Of giving full effect to medi.
cinal extracts of the highest utility, il
the cant of charlatanism. Every intel.
ligent physician so characterizes it, and
the sick who are griped, oonvulsed and
debilitated by the nauseous and dis.
gushing nostrums Of, tile parties who
put it forth, soon find to their sorrow
that it is delusion and snare. Hos.
letters Bltters, the great sanitary
stimulant Of the age, is in the trues,
sense of the word, a wholesome, vital
izing, renovating preparation.

Poetical,
ALWAYS LOOK oNTHE SUNNY SIDE.
BY T. o. B.

Always look on the sunny side,
And though life checkred be,
A lightsome heart bid care depart,
And time fly pleasantly.
Why sit and mourn DER fancied Ills
When danger is not near?
Care is self-consnming thing,
That hardest nerve can wear.
Always look on the sunny side,
And though you do not find
All things according to your wish,
Be not disturbed in mind;
The greatest evils that can come
Are lighter far to bear,
When met by sortitude and strength
Instead of doubt and fear.
Always look on the sunny side
- There's health in harmless jest,
And much to soothe our worldly care
ln3oping for the best.
The gloomy path is far too dark
For happy feet to tread,
And tells of pain and solitude,
OF friends estranged and dead.
Always look on the sunny side
And never yield to doubt;
The ways of Providence are wise,
And faith will bear you out,
If you but make this maxim yours,
And in its strength abide,
Believing all is for the best
Look on the sunny side.

! The PRESIDENTS letter. Says a
Washington special: The Presidents
letter regarding Southern ontrages
was written hurriedly with a lead
pencil at the close of a conversation
with Senator Patterson and others
from South Carolina, and without
consultation with any one. It was
sent here without being copied, and
was not intended for publication, the
President at first directing that it
should not be given to the press. AZ
ter being urged by telegraph from
the Secretary of the Treasury to let
it go out on account Of the good eff
feet it would produce in the South,
he at last consented.

WAsHINsToN, D. CT
Sept. S. 1874.


Sept. S, 1874.
It has leaked out that Grants late
slanderous letter on the Southern
question was prompted by Senator
John J. Patterson, the head-centre
of the notorious South Carolina ring.
Patterson sent Attorney General
Williams to Long Branch to prepare
the way for him with Grant, and
seems TO haye.been. the chief engin-.
eer Of the plot. Patterson has amas-
sed large fortune-by his operations
in South Carolina, and probably dis
bursed freely to secure fresh lease
Of power. Il feaa ,
The neat scheme of the carpet-bag-
gers is to have a Southern Conven-
ton on the 2lst Of October to con-
coct an address of lies and defama-
ton of the Southern people, so as to
justify and excuse the military pres
sure which is to be employed prior
to the elections in November. This
convention the carpet-bag managers
propose to hold at Atlanta, Ca, but
but have changed the location to
Chattanooga. One of the most anu
sing and startling stories put out by
the pet-baggers is that there are
to be no office holders and no thieves
in the convention. 1t has been sug-
gested by some to have the body
opened with prayer by the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher. n
The Washington Chronicle, of this
morning, admits that Senator Rob-
ertson OF, South Carolina, thorough
going Republican, sees no justifca-
ton for the recent executive proceed

colleague, Patterson. Il Cincinnati
