W1SHIAGTON MATTERS.

and that the United States troops there will

General George c. Mckee, who has repre-
scented the Vicksburg district of Mississippi

Piatt, who is now in charge of the Capital i'll
Don Piatt's absence, for an article rejecting

Information has reached Washington from
the West that Horace White of the Chicago
Tribune, Henry Waterson of the Louisville
Courier Journal, Murat Hals.ead OF the Gin
cinnati Commercial, are on their way to Bos-
ton, where they expect to have conference
with Senator Schurz relative to the POSSIBLE
ity Of the resurrection Of the Liberal party
This conference is expected to take place
some time during next week.
The Committee on Elections have decided
that neither Pinchback nor Sheridan, claim
ants to seats in the House from Louisiana,
are shown by the evidence to have been
elected. The committee will report a reso-
luton to the House, giving the contestants
the privilege of reopening the case and TAX
ing new evidence. 1t would seem from
Pinchback's efforts to get into the House that
he has abandoned all expectation of getting
into the Senate.

BEECHER ON TACATION.

Plymouth Church had a genuine sensation
on Sunday. About ten minutes before Mr.
Beecher entered, and after the ushers had
commenced to seat strangers, Mr.. Sherman
(the clerk stepped upon the platform and
gave notice that there would be meeting of
the church on Monday night to confirm the &C.
ton Of the Society taken last Wednesday, to
extend to Mr.. BeeCher a six months vacation,
and to attend also to some other business; and
a large attendance was earnestly desired:
Then there was a general hum and buzz all
over the church some frowned, and some
smiled approval, and all talked as fast as they
could. After services had commenced and
Mr. Beeeher had given what notices he had.
he said 81 understand that before l entered

DO not Persecute the Body

In sickness with medicines that depress the physi-
cal energies. What the sick principally need is an
accession OF vital strength TO enable them to cope
with the enemy that has assailed them. The dis
cased system should be sustained, toned purified
and regulated and there is no medical preparation
in existence so largely endowed with the proper
ties required to effect these objects iIosteter'5
Stomach Bitters. In ordinary practice aperient
cnes are administered separately. In Hostetter's
Bitters all these agents are combined, and act to-
gether in perfect harmony, so that undue debility
and undue excitement are alike prevented, and the
strength of the patient rallies while the disease is
losing ground. In dyspepsia liver complaint
chronic constipation, intermittent fevers, general
weakness, and all ailments involving physical and
mental depression, this pure vegetable restorative
is sovereign remedy. apl22-tcod&wlw
