T SUPPOSE there is not in the whole of physi-
l. clans experience anything in human suffering
which calls forth his sympathy aud pity, to such an
extent to witness the excrucaing pains OF poor
mortal suffering from that fearful disease Rheuma-
tism. Heretofore there has been considerable di-
versity of opinion among medical men, as to the true
rous or muscular tissues of rhe system and others
viewing it as an acute nervous disease; but it is now
generally admitted to be disease arising from poi
son circulating in the blood and further it admit
ted that rheumatism can never be thoroughly cured
without extermnating such poisonous matters from
the blood by constitutional internal remedy. We
feel confident that will feel better satisfied and
rejoice MOI than the conscientious physician, who
has found out that true for ibis stubborn dis
ease has been discovered. The following testimony
from Portland gentleman cannot fail to satisfy all

Prof. ALphonSo Hillen:
Gentlemen: Unsolicited by you, wish to bear
testimony to the efficacy of the DIAMOND RHEUMAT,
IC CURE. During the past year have suffered
greatly from that common and agonizing afhlcuon,
Rheumatism. My shoulder was so affected that my
left arm was completely poweress and despared OF
ever again having the use of that limb was IN
duced by hoarng of the many marvellous cures &C.
compshed by the agent while staying at the Preble
House, to buy BOTTLE 1t is sufficient to say that
without faith in the medicine Its results by the
taking of five small bottles was entirely relieved
And weeks have since elapsed, and am still all right
and free from pain, with indications of its return,
and the feeling of new life which experience at
tribute to the use of the DIAMOND RHEUMATIC
CURE. Have the kindness to pass my testimony and
experience around for the benefit of suffering human

The Pacific Railroad.

The Texas Pacific Railroad seems to
have been specially aimed at in the
resolution offered by Mr.. Holman, a
leading Democratic member OF Con-
gress, which by its overwhelming adop-.
ton by the House cuts off all hope OF
Congressional aid, either by subsidy or
Endorsement by interest, during the
present Congress. This result, after the
emphatic Endorsement OF the project by
the National Grange at Charleston, by
the American Cotton Association, and
latterly by the special convention at st.
Louis, is "a terrible disappointment to
the friends OF the road. The Southern
people demand and are entitled to %
Southern road to the Pacific, but they
have not acted with proper unanimity
in relation to the matter, and have per-
mitted managers Of Eastern railroads
and the powerful influence Of Western
cities to distract their purpose and break
them up into petty rings and cliques,
each Of which hoped to gain, by some
influence outside Of the South, an adj
vantage over their Southern brethren.
The Democratic party, as party, has
in the past opposed improvements by
the General Government in any shape,
from the days Of the Maysyllie bill
down to the dissolution OF tho Old Wing
party. After the death OF the Wing
party, it is true, finding that party dis
cipline had carried them little too far

len Of Tho City Council.

Gentletnan bl mo CiIv Council.
It Is, think, u matter Of great con
graduation, gentlemen Of the Board Of
Aldermen, that we nrc about TO enter
upon the duties imposed upon us by the
citizens Of Montgomery at tho very be-
ginning of what / sincerely hope and
believe Ii u new era in the history of
our State and city.
After years OF trial, and almost de-
spondcncy, our citizens have ut last
succeeded in obtaining an organic law,
framed by their own chosen representa-
s-representativcs of the intelli-
gence, virtue, industry and property Of
the entire State. Under its benign in
fluence 1t Is vt oil events possible that
our down -troddcn and suffering people
may enter once more upon a career oil
peace, happiness and prosperity--that
labor may reap Its reward that indus
try may accomplish good results, and
that virtue and intelligence, no longer
forced to stand aside while vice and ig-
norancc hold the reins, may dispense
the blessings Of good government to all
the people Of our beloved State.
Montgomery, too, our beautiful capt.
tai city, revives and gladdens at the as
surance that her government is In the
hands Of men selected by the property
holders and tax payers from all classes
OF industrial and professional life. She
looks to us to sec that her best interests
are protected-.that the peace and safe
ty OF her citizens be made secure-that
their hard earnings be not extorted
from them to meet useless and unne-
cessary expenditures, and that the taxes
which they pay shall be as low as pos
sible, and shall be disbursed as econom-
ically and wisely as is consistent with
efficient government. In our hands
can only assure you OF my warmest CO.
operation In all measures looking to the
ends l have just indicated.
Having these purposes i'm view, ] beg
to offer few suggestions on some Of the
principal matters that will engage your
electromagnetic which / think
proper to repeat here, although many
OF them have already been communi-
Gated to you informally, and met with
your approval.
The above were the initial paragraphs
OF the message Of the present Mayor Of
Montgomery, Alabama, to the Council
on assuming Office few days ago. We
bring it to the notice of our readers,
and would delight. il possible, to have
his modest and elegant language read
by every man in New Orleans. Until
last year the political prospect for both
the State of Alabama and the City of
Montgomery in particular, were nearly
or quite as black and unpromising as
those of our State Of Louisiana and our
city. The power both OF the State Of
Alabama and City Of Montgomery were
in the truculent and INSCRIPTIONS hands
OF black and white Radicals.

awed, and many weak ones bought over

From the testimony which has been
brought out during the crooked whisky

HON. J. r, WEST.

We observe by several conspicuous
kilograms In different papers that Sen
ator West has left Washington for the
purpose Of returning to "lix matters. 4"
We now trust that Mr.. West will take
the opportunity, while In New Orleans,
TO answer our two standing questions
rs to his California antecedents, and
that Major Il. A. Burkes committee,
appointed about one year ago to OK
anime into the books and records Of his
predecessor In Office as Administrator
Of improvements, and report the re-
suit, will do what they have not yet
done, or give us proper reason for de-
clining to perform plain public duty.
Indeed, 1t Is singular and requires
explanation why that committee
has failed, and apparently inten-
tionally so, to present its
report in the shape Of an official docu-
ment. II was due to all parties that
this should have been done. Certainly,
there seems to our unsophisticatod self
to be an immense issue Of Wharf I'm
provement bonds requiring some light,
while some explanations on the subject
of various costly contracts, manipu-
lated by the Senator FROM 1869 to 1872,
would not be without interest to the
tax payers and citizens. We conse-
quently repeat that it is our candid
opinion Mr.. Vests presence here would
be most opportune time for the report
Of Mr.. Burke's committee. From oil
that we can learn, there is u reasonable
impression in the public mind that
things are not exactly right in the past
books Of the Administrator OF Improve
ments Office.
We also learn from one OF our lead
ing Conservative journals, that Mar
shall Packard knows everything about
the matter OF the West Investigation,
and declares tho whole affair to be only
. political ruse. It is very possible,
however, that Marshal Packard does
not understand tho subject, and is more
than willing to serve friend like Mr..
West, at the mere cost OF few good
natured words. The mere opinion OF
MI. Packard counts for very little. Mr.
