DR.. PIERCE's FAvoRITE Prescription is
very strongly recommended by the Medical
Faculty and is largely prescribed among their
tamale patients. tits worthy of all confidence
as may be seen from the following testimonial:
ATLANTA. Ill. July 14th, 1873.
DIR. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
Dear Sri have not words to express nv
gratitude to you for your advice and assistance
in my case. There is not one who has used
your medicines since they have been brought
here but that can say with me they have been
greatly benefited. Since I have been so
helped by it six or seven around me left off all
doctors and other medicines. aud now use it in
their families. after being cured of the same
disease as mine. You do not know what a
wonder it created in our city, By its restoring
my sister I wrote you about, for she had been
under the care of three of our best doctors
but conld not sit mp but for a few minutes at
one time. I begged of her to try your mcdi-
cines, end before she had used half of the
bottles she could go all around the yard, and
has now just come home from a visit FIVE miles
away. Mrs. THos. mcfarland.
Gr Frank Williams committed a felon-
ious assault upon a little white girl four years
of age at Mobile, Ala, Sunday week, and
Monday the citizens marched en- masse to the
county Jail, where he had been carried, bat
tered down the walls, took him to the nearest
tree and hanged him. The body remained sus-
pended over two hours, and was then cut down
and turned over TO the coroner. The child
is very low being terribly mutilated, aud is
not expected to live.

TmpoRrANr TO DEMOCRATS.

In less than two years from this time
the country will be convulsed with one
of the most important election campaigns
that it has ever Witnessed. 1t is anne-
sessary to refer to any leading issue that
will divide the parties. 1t is simply
enough for us to know that the one par
represents the oKtrayagant classes
hat have fed upon AID grown fat by
class legislation, and the other repre-
sents palmer class Of people who des-
pise the heavy and unequal taxation that
is imposed upon the country.
It Isl important, therefore, that the
Democratic party, which has announced
itself as opposed in toto to the legisla-
ton Of the last several Radical Congress-
es, should at once commence q more
thorough and complete system OF organ
ization. In fact now is the very time
tina. this matter should be looked to-
for now is the time in which men are
assessed and thus made voters. Let the
youny men in each of the school districts
and the wards Of the city hold meetings
and appoint committees competent to
see that every Democrat is assessed and
properly enrolled on the list Of voters.
Let the clubs be1reorganized or con-
tinued where they exist and where there
are no clubs let. them be formed, and the
organization thus be effected complete
throughout the whole State.

and fortunately in so doing has for
feited the respect of all decent men. In
so doing II has not only shown its
known malignity, but what may be
more surprising to some of its readers,
its blasphemy. How presumptous is it
in a mere newspaper, inscanping in its
partizan heat the results of an cleo
ton, TO dare say anything is the judg.
ment of Cody And this, to be world

What can honest and God-fearing
men think of newspaper that will ma

,,o,,nrsaa--1ts neat Session.

. NVAeHNL1o--&A0 AFNs<S 100000
The short and last session Of the 4Sd
Congress commences on the first Monday
Of next month. It can hardly be expect
ed that the expiring Republican party
will be able to get through the session
without quarrel, il not complete rup-
ture. 1t is quite possible that the terri.
BILE censure that has been inflicted upon
its leaders in Congress by the people may
crystaliEe them more firmly together.
But this ia not likely. On the contrary
it is more than probable that such men
as Butler and Dawes in the House, and
Carpenter and Morton in the Senate.
will differ widely as to the causes OF the
late defeat; and as they are about to
take final leave Of the national halls,
they will more than likely speak pretty
plainly. Neither will these gentlemen
allow all in their own party to escape CEN
sure. We may therefore witness break
ing up Of the old party war lines even
before the Nth Congress assemblies. The
House will not meet until the LIST Of De-
cenber, 1875, unless called together by
the President. But it is assuredly DEM
oeratic by majority ranging from sixty
FIVE to eighty. The Senate will reassem-
bic no doubt on the 4th Of, March next
for the consideration of Executive bust
ness. If such a rupture should take
place as we have limited at, it may be
that when the Senate reassembles it too
win show an opposition majority. II so,
then the 44th Congress will be entirely
under the control of the Democrats and
will be enabled to commence reform at
once in the affairs Of the Government
and lay out more economical system.
One Of the first duties, however, that it
owes the country is to ferret out the
abuses Of trust and power and show
them up to the people. Investigations
with this object SHOULD be thorough; and
il the hands Of the Executive are not
furnished he will himself, as he is in du-
ty bound to do. afford aid and encour-
apement in this direction.

From the New York Tribune Nov.10.
The Coming Crists of the Re
publican PARTY

There is no longer any reasonable
doubt that the President instead of
learning wisdom from the overwhelm-
ing defeat OF bis party, Is gradually
coming to the belief that the success of
the Democracy was personal tribute
to himself. The Interpretation of his
conduct which we suggested yesterday
is promptly approved correct by his
special organ in this city. AFTER the
Cabinet meeting yesterday" says the
inspired chronicle of the court, "the
President expressed himself more ut
length on the third term than he has
ever condescended to do heretofore
without renouncing any such idea on
his part. He said that careful ex-
animation of the return in the differ
g ent States showed conclusively that
- the people in rendering their verdicts
g by the wild and senseless cries on
g this subject which had filled the air
" for monthspasS He pointed to what
" he considered two notable instancesin
proof of his assertion. The South
-"Garolina Republican Convention had
" emphatically pronounced for him a
!" third term, and its candidate for Co
7" vernon had been trlumphantly cleo
% ted in the face of all the oddsagainst
Thin. Onthe other hand, In the Uti-
az ca districtIof New ork, where the
=" Republicans had always had an over
whelming preponderanee, Mr. Ellis
I" II. Roberts insisted upon the Con-
I" gressional Convention which nomi-
.e mated him pronouncing against the
+" third term, and he was defeated. Z"
The President docs not for one. in
" slant saction the idea that his policy
" or his personal acts have contribu-
" ted in any degree to the party's de-
feat"
Gen. Grants position being thus Of
| ficially defined, it becomes important
| for the country to know what attitude
| viii be assumed by the party of which
| Gen. Grant is the recognized leader
| For we have reached the dividing OF
the ways, where the party and the
| President must choose their respective
roads, and either go along together
whittier the blind ambition Of Gen,
Grant is leading him, or else part
company forever. tits impossible to
hesitate and procrastinate any longer.
The events of last week must have
convinced even the stanchest adherents
of the Administrative and the blindesi
and most bigoted of part1sans that the
discussion which they deprecated as
premature was vital issue in politics
before the election, and the president
now assures US that it is a. vital ISSUE
still. II the Republicans lack the cou

Z Our neighbor, the Republican, opened
the campaign by Frequent denunciations
Of the Democrats as disloyalists, rebel
sympathizers, copperheads, and all the
old war uttsrances with which that pa
per teemed while the State was overrun
with soldiers, and Col. Wilmer and his
aids were literally robbing our people in
every direction, by taking their money
for subsidiaries and putting it in their
own pockets; and by sending away me-
eroes and drafting white men in their
stead, in order that they might get more
money out of them. Thus were the sew
eral counties of Delaware drained OF
thousands Of dollars and some poor far.
mers made to mortgage their property
in order that they might be enabled to
escape the horrid war and provide for
their families. These scoundrels in this
wav took a full regiment Of men more
from Delaware than her actual quota.
How silly and foolish seems the charge
Of disloyalty by the Republican and Other
Radical organs nov, when the trium'

victories in almost every State. Does

and malicious sheet does not utter

THE COUNTY COURl
TIE sovrMsER TEEM-ANrMPoRTASl
SION.


The regular November session q bur
County Courts will open at New kastle
on Monday next, 10th inst; lI,
The session promises 70 De one OF qeat
interest. The number OF ordinary caIhl-
nal cases is perhaps, not so large Us usual
but the two trials for capital offences
add great Importance to the coming
| term. l..
The first trial for capital offence will
be that Of Joseph H. Taylor, Of Lewievine,
| Chester comfy, Pa, fer tho murder OF
Robert A. Mackey, who had resided at
Jennersyille, same county. The murder
| Is supposed to have been committed on
| the night OF Thursday, July 30th last
On that evening, both the young men left
| St. Georges together, in q buggy, for the
purpose OF driving to Odessa; but Taylor
entered the latter town alone, at 2 late
hour in the evening. The next day he
| drove to Middletown, disposed OF Mack
ey's team, and then fed. In Intervening,
| Mackey's body was found footing in
Drawers creek, near Odessa. II was
| taken out, and an inquest held by Depu-
| ty Coroner Stephens, hut as no one
could recognize the remains, verdict OF
death by drowning was rendered, and the
body inferred. About a week Inter,
Mackey's friends arrived in the neighbor-
hood, looking for him Hearing OF the
drowning case their suspicious were ex-
cited, and on exhuming the remains they
were recognized to be those OF mackey.
Foul play was immediately suspected and
Taylor's subsequent actions seemed con-
tirmation Of the suspicion.
Taylor was arrested in Bucyrns, Craw-
for county, Ohio, and brought on here
for trial. He will be defended BY Hon.
Thos. +. Bayard. and Hon. VIM, e..
Whiteley. The case attracts great inter-
est in this and adjoining counties.
The other trial OF a capital character
is that Of Aaron X. Woodward, oil Chris
tiana Hundred, for the shooting OF VIM.
Iukens, on the 9Th of October. With the
circumstances Of this affair, our readers
are still familiar. Farmers generally are
interested in this trial, as it will prob
ably show the extent of their personal
authority in cases of tresspass. Wood
ward will be defended by Hon. Thos. F.
Bnyard and VIM. @. Spruance, Esq.
The civil list is quite extensive, and
embraces some interesting cases. Among
others will be the suits of the Lymnns Us.
the p, W. q b. II. X. Co., for damages,
growing out Of the accident at Newport,
on Dec. 25th, 1872, by which several
members of the plaintiffs families were
badly injured. The plaintiffs were nom
suited last May, but their counsel, Levi
g. Bird, Esq, moved for q new trial,
which motion was granted. The plain
tiffs are represented by Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard and Geo. C. Gordon, Esq.
The Court will also act upon number
Of applications for licenses TO sell Ii
quor.
The session, in all probability, will be
lengthy as well as interesting. As usual,
