VINEGAR BIrTERs has made them the
leading medicine of the day, and respecta-
BILE druggists everywhere write: "They

pnblic opinion and won confidence. They
sell rapidly because they cure. If you are
sick you want reliable medicine. VINE
GAR BIrTERs commend themselves to the
aling and afflicted, as they are deficient
in one thing alone, viz the stimulant that
unduly excites the brain, and creates a
morbid thirst for spirits There is no
case of Indigestion, Biliousness, Nervous
Disease, or Physical Debility, in which
they will not effect cure. lnvalids who
are wasting away from want of proper
action in the liver, stomach and bowels,

AbdicatiOn Of Gov. Baxter.

LITTPE Rock, Nov. IA.
Lieut-Gov. V. V. Smith returned from
the east yesterday. and, learning that in his
absence Gov. Elisha Baxter had turned the
executive office over to the Governor-elect
Garland, ISSUED a proclamation to the peo-
pie of the state, setting forth the fact that
he was elected lieutenant. governor for four
years in 1872, and that his time not having
expired, and Gov. Baxter having abdicated
he was governor of the state. The procla-
conciliatory. He deprecates the use of
force in the settlement of the question,
which is entirely legal one. lie claims
that he is acting under the advice of lead
ing attorneys, and that he will be recog-
nized by the United States authorities. The
legality of the new constitution is involved
in this question, and the matter must be
finally settled by some tribunal outside the
state. Lieutenant governor Smith tele-
graphed the above, which was shown to
President Grant, on which he makes formal
application to the President of the United
States and the law passed in pursuance
thereto, to guaranty TO said state of Arkan-
sas republican form of government and
to protect the same against domestic VIC
lence. The legislature of said state is not
now in session, and cannot be convened at
this time without great. detriment to public
interests Any attempt to do 30 would re-
suit in augmenting the confusion and an
archy, and would probably lead to strife
and Unnecessary bloodshed.
