MIsDIREcrED B1LE.-The bile is
slightly cathartic, and when OF the
proper quality and poured regul arly,
as it ought to be, into the proper
bowels, it keeps the intestinal canal
free from obstruction. But if, owing
to the sluggish action of the liver. the
secretion be deficient in quality or
quantity, costiveness is the result; nor
can the bowels, under such circum-
stances. be permanently regulated, ex-
cept by an efficient anti.biiious agent.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is such an
agent, as we'll as a painless laxative
and general tonic. Hence it is spe-
cifio for constipation. But this is only
one Of the many virtues OF this un-
equalled vegetable restorative. It is
one of the Offices of the bile to ab-
stract the superabundant carbon from
the blood, and when the liver does not
work, this function devolyes upon the
kidneys, which cannot even imper-
feotly perform the task, without being
seriously disordered. Consequently,
kidney diseases are often consequent
upon the torpidity of the liver. A
course of the Bitters will effectually
arouse and regulate that organ, when
inert or slothful. and thereby avert
chronic disease OF the kidneys or bfad-
dor, as we'll as cure constipation.
Moreover. this powerful specific is an
absolute cure for dyspepsia, nervous
prostration, mental despondency. gene
raj debility. headache and all the
minor ailments proceeding from i'm
perfect digestion and assimilation. Ae
an invigorant for the aged and inf1rm,
and means Of rapidly restoring the
strength of convalescent patients, it
takes precedence of every other medi-
Gated stimulant in use. 4 80 t3Ti

The Radical gerrymandering trick
by which Richland was substituted
for Lexington in the Third Con.
gressional District, in order to over
come by it's heavy black vote the
prepondersting conservative vote OF
the other Counties, will probably de-
feat itself. Richland is not contiguous
to the other Counties, and can't be

MIR. Trescot As n Candidate for Com
Eress.
The Republican and Independent
press of the North has received the
of MIR. Trescot for Congress
in the Third District with marked
favor. The New York Times. Tribune,
Boston Post and other leading journals
hayerbeen pleased to acknowledge his
talents and fitness. He is man OF
decided parts and OF eminent qualifioa-
tions for the public service. His letter
announcing his determination to be a
candidate Was in good taste, and was
judioious in advising that we avoid
present antagopism to President Grant.
and that we work along with the
oolored people npon good terms, de-
taching them and extricating them. as
far as we may, from the clique OF
thievish office holders.

/ On the Nsame page, this pertinent
question y put to the .sAdvisorN
Board:" i.srhis is grand council Of

pection with the Land Dom mission:
Have they done their duty?" And
after citing the evidence. it is thus an
swered: That great swindles have been
perpetrated; that corrupt means have
been used and alliances formed; that
the money of tho State and the bonds
issued have not been disposed OF as
directed; that the whole spirit, letter
and body OF the laws authorizing the
appointment Of Land Commissioners,

less and landless, at least, will be re-
corded"
The legal adviser OF this "Advisory
Board" be it remembered. "as mat
ter of grave and urgent duty" is.
now candidate for the Office of
Governor of the State. His con-
domination here is one OF the most
solemn records of his own party. His
sentence he pronounced himself when,
fresh from the perpetration of this
outrageous and enormous swindlc,
and no doubt chuokiing in his heart
over the ''snbtle manner of conceal
ment perfected" in his speech at
Chester, in August, 1870, he thus tri-
nmphantly rounded q period: "If Gen.
Butler or Judge Carpenter prove to
you to- day any fraudulent act. one in
stance of mismanagement or misap-
preparation OF public funds under the
present administration, then let your
swift condemnation fall upon our
heads. Drive US from Office; aye, drioe
as from, the State. Whenever the re-
form leaders make good one single
charge or fasten one single fraud upon
our history. let US descend to merited in
fanny" Possibly Mr.. Chamberlain
thinks that his present candidacy is
swift road to inherited infamy."
Certainly fraudulent acts" in
stances OF "mismanagement or mis-
appropriation of public funds." have
been abundantly exhibited. Coon
demnation" justly falls upon the head
which 80 rashly invoked it, aud only
enlightened and just public opinion is
needed to drive Mr.. Chamberlain and
his gang from Office, and with its at

sterner sentence challenged by himself

DEPARTURE OF DIR. DARBY FOR New
YonK.-Dr. John T. Darby left CO.
lumbia, yesterday, for the city of New
York, where he goes upon the invita-
ton of the New York University, to
accept the professorship of surgical
anatomy in that institution. This is a
high compliment, but one thoroughly
deserved. As o surgeon, DR.. Darby is
one Of the most accomplished and dis
tinguished in this country. His prsc-
tice has been large. his reading extern
sive and varied, and his industry un-
firing. AS o lecturer, he is earnest,
scholarly, full OF knowledge and with
uncommon aptness in illustration. As
q gentleman. he is pre.eminent for his
agreeable manners, courtly address
and the elegant 6onhomn,ie which al
ways win favor and consideration. We
regret to lose him, but he has gone
where his talents and accomplishments
will have wider, better and more
congenial field. The New York Uni
versity has done we'll in adding him to
its highly distinguished corps of leo
turers nnd professors. We confidently
expect to hear OF him vindicating the
wisdom OF this choice by the same
skill and SUCCESS which have honora-
bly, marked his career here.

Democratic State Contention

II must be admitted that what should
have been the most harmonious and Or
derly assemblage Of Democrats that ever
convened in the State, was actually the
most confused and inharmonious, with
out there being any actual rupture
among the Delegates. The chief cause
of this must be attributed to the fact
that the new Representative Hall, in the
capital building is entirely too small to
accommodate so large body. Added to
this there were not enough seats to ac-
eommodate all the Delegates, and no
desks on which q resolution or report
could be written, the consequence was
that the crowd around the chairman and
those walking the floor caused innumer-
able interruptions and created most Of
the misunderstanding and delay. a dis
turbing element was the whiskey imbib-
ed by half drunken Delegate named,
we believe, DR.. Watson, who acted in the
most unbecoming manner. The cry was
raised more than once to put him out.
and finally he was seized by several gen.
tlemen and rushed towards the door
which caused somewhat Of Il row; but
not fight, as some supposed. Thii
mans acts were such as would become
an enemy more than that Of good
honest Democrat. He was the only Del
ssate present we saw intoxicated.
The Convention was composed Of
number Of the best men in the aevera
counties, and had it not been for thes
disturbing causes. promoted to some ex
tent by the immense number present
the nominations would have been mad
as ezpeditiously and as pleasantly as o
former occasions.
In conclusion We must say that W
have never witnessed SO large numbe
Of persons upon such an occasion wher
there was so little intemperance, or s
large a body conducted so far, in sue
crowded cars, without a solitary acc
dent and we cannot let the opportunit
pass without complimenting the care

truthfully said that he has not sought

cratic Party with whom he has ever act

he has always stood firmly and immova-
