VINEGAR BITTERs.-The great merit of
VINEGAR BrTTERs has made them the lead
ing medicine of the day, and respectable
druggists everywhere write: '1hey are
the 6est and most popular preparation IN
the market.o They have stood the test of
public opinion and won confidence. They
sell rapidly because they cure. If you are
sick you want reliable medicine. VINEGAR
BTrTERs commend themselves to the ailing
and afflicted, as they are deficient in one
thing alone, VIZ: the stimulant that undu-
ly eScites the brain, and creates morbid
thirst for spirits There is no phase of In
digestion, Biliousness, Nervous Disease,
or Physical Debility, in which they will
not effect cure. Invalids who are vast
ing away from want of proper action in
the liver, stomach and bowels, will find
them constitutional specific, and a foun-
tain of vitality and vigor as refreshing and
exhilarating as a cool, gushing spring of
water to the parched and fainting traveller
in the desert.

cited on the nth of October, 1873, to appear and
answer to charge of slander-the SANDER being
a statement by him that Mr.. Beecher had been
guilty of adultery with Mrs Iilton: The dates of
the utterance of the alleged SANDER are given,
and the names of the witnesses to whom the
same was uttered.
Mr.. Tilton's association with Mrs. Woodruff is
stated to have begun with the concurrence and
advice of Mr. Beecher, for the sole purpose OF
suppressing the dreadful secret and protecting
Mrs. TiltonSs reputation. Mr.. Tilton affrms that
it had no other object than this. and that, right
or wrong, Mr.. Beecher shared in it personally,
and that it involved no criminal intimacy
The charge of bIackmail is considered and en-
phatically denied. Mr.. Beecher's letters are then
taken up and subjected to an analysis to show
that his agonized expressions are all consistent
with one thing-the crime OF adultery-and are
not consistent with any other fact or pretended
fact in the case.
Mr. Titon concludes with "a reflection upon
the remorse which must forever assail Mr.
Beecher, in view of the desolation he is charged
with having wrought. . have, in times past =
he says, ''seen him suffer from his own self
inflicted tortures in contemplation of the very
crime for which he has now been exposed to the
scorn and pity of the world / know well enough
how his own thoughts have bowed him in agony
to the dust: and this is enough. Wherefore, in
contemplating my empty house, my scattered
children and my broken HI me, thank Heaven
thatI am spared the pang of this mans remorse
for having wrought ruin which not even Al
mighty God can repair!''

River, Mass, on the 10Th, one of the cotton
mills in that place burning while 400 opera
tives were engaged in their labors. Twenty
persons were burned to death and thirty-six
more or less injured. The loss by the fire is
estimated at 100000. Further particulars
can be found in another column.
AN address has been issued by the Tennes
see Democratic State Central Committee,
condemnatory of all acts of violence, whether
committed by whites or blacks.
ACCORDING to late reports from the plains
the Indians were becoming bold and trouble
some. One large train belonging to Col
Miles command had been captured and a por
ton of the town of Prairieville, Kan, burned
THE trial Of the persons recently indicted
for safe burglary and conspiracy at Washing
ton has been set for Oct 81.
GEN. EMORY telegraphed on the 21st thai
the temporary police in New Orleans
had been replaced by the regular force
and that there was no disturbance. A
fruitless attempt had been made to ar
range for the joint control of the
machinery of the November election. The
McEnery parish officials at Franklin, La, or

police force, the Commissioners of the
Metropolitan police would not be able to
get their officers on their beats until the
next day.
The following order was subsequently
sent to the official Journal:
EXECUTIVE ORDER.
All State officers who have been prevented,
during this recent trouble, from performing their
duties will immediately resume their official
functions. The Board of Metropolitan Police
will at once assemble and organize the police
force of New Orleans, and assume the mainte-
nance of the peace and order of the city.
(Signed) WILLIAM P. KELLOGG, Governor.
A dispatch to Gov. McEnery, received
on the 18th, from Bayou Sara reports
that town attacked the night before by
negroes The attack was repulsed, Gen.
Emory had ordered troops to that point.
In accordance with the Executive or
der of Gov. Kellogg the old State officers
took quiet possession of the Louisiana
State-House on the morning of the 10Th.
When Gov. Kellogg reached the Execu-
tive Office Gen. Brooke approached
him and informed him that he
was prepared to turn over to him
the State-House and all the records
and public property belonging to the
State which had come into his possession
at the time of the surrender of the insur-
gents to his command. Everything, the
General said, would be found in precise
ly the same condition as it had come
into his hands. The Governor accepted
the transfer and Gen. Brooke thereupon
retired Gen. George Badly, Vice
President of the Board of the
New Orleans Metropolitan Police, pro-
ceeded to the police-station at the head
of about 200 police, and the building was
quietly surrendered by Acting Chief
Boylan, and the Metropolitans were soon
placed on their old beats. Gov, Kellogg
advised that the ranks of the Metropol-
itans be filled from the retiring force of
Chief Boylan.

THE MEETING OF CONGRESS

This day week hence the Forty-third Con-
gress will convene in it's closing session. In
view Of the change which will take place in the
political complexion OF the lower House after
the 4th Of March next, and the anticipated
searching investigation which the incoming as
cendancy will bring with it, as well as desire
on the part of the Republicans themselves tc
purge and purify national legislation, il is prob
able that the introduction OF important meas-
ures will not be delayed until after the holidays
but will be tafen up at once. We look witt
confidence for some broader and more compre
hensive legislation from Congress at this ses
sion. We expect to see it, like a skillful ply
sician who has discerned the seat of dis

or, il needs be, by the application of the knife
There never has been such demand for the el

believe all the essential qualities are combined

the opportunity to be developed.
There ia no probability of disagreement be
between the President aud Congress. Preser
indications point to harmonious action betwee
the two, greatly as the Democrats desire d
vision. Wise counsels and moderate efforts wi
likely prevail and characterize the whole sessio
1t is understood that one Of the principal su
jects which the President will treat upon

deration of which he will urge the prosecutio
Of work upon all the public works of the cou

in this way. He has even gone further; he has

the patriotism of the people, he actually lost a
considerable sum Of money which has been taken
from his own private purse. - The deficiency was

ART FRAUDs.

The recent exposure of an attempt to deceive
picture collectors and others interested in the
fne arts will direct attention anew to the disrep
utsble practices of the picture auction business.
The well informed know that rascaiities Of all
kinds are practised at these sales, which in ma
ny casss are no better than the ''nock auctions"
which the police Of the great cities are constant
ly appealed to to suppress. One OF tile most
famous OF modern painters was Frenchman
named Regnault, man Of genius Of whom the
highest things were predicted, but who was un-
happily cut OF almost at the beginning Of his
career, having been killed in Paris during the at
sck on the Commune. But Begnault had pro-
duced some great works, and one Of the most
celebrated of these WAS picture entitled "Ss-
lome," gorgeous piece Of female portraiture.
New York has been excited over the intelligence
that this famous picture was to be sold at auc-
ton in that city ON Saturday night last. New
York articles appeared describing the picture
and the circumstances under which it was pro
duced, and giving the opinions of eminent for
eign critics Of the work, as well as variety oi
other matter bearing on the subject. Yet nov
it appears that the picture is not the Regnaul
original at all but copy by some unknown hand
1t was bold game to play, but no more wronl
in principle than things that are constantly dom
at picture auctions. By q bare chance cou
noisseur came along who detected the fraud, ,bu
suppose the affair had not attracted his after
ton and this bogus ''Salome" had been sold 70
several thousand dollars, would Il not have bee
as clear case Of obtaining money under falls
pretences as any Of the more vulgar roguerie
OF the day. Not only SO, but this copy Of ce
sbrstsd work, made to do duty for the origina
