CoNFIRMED.-HIP-JoINT DISEASE CURED,
W. GROVE STATION, Iowa.

DR.. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
Dear Sir-My wife first became lame nine years
ago. Swellings would appear and disappear on
her hip, and she was gradually becoming reduc-
ed, and her whole system rotten with disease.
In 1871, a swelling broke on her hip, discharging
large quantities, and since that time there are
several openings. Have had five doctors, at an
expense of SIPS, who say nothing will do any
good but a surgical operation.
July 16 1873, he writes thus: My wife has GER
tainly received great benefit from the use of
your Discovery, for she was not able to get of
the bed, and was not expected to live week
when she commenced using it, year ago. She
has been doing most of her work for over six
months. Has used twenty bottles, and still us
ing it. Her recovery is considered as almost a
miracle, and we attribute it all to the use of your
valuable medicine. l can cheerfully recommend
it as blood-purifier and strength restorer.

.FoR rHE BLOOD LIrE.y

See Deuteronomy, xii: %. The blood being
the source from which the system is built up, and
from which we derive our mental as well as phys
ical capabilities how important that it should be
kept purel If it contain vile, fostering posons,
ali organic functions become enfeebled Settling
upon Important organs. as the lungs, liver, and
kidneys, the effect is most disastrous Hence it
behooves all to keep their blood in a perfectly
healthy condition, and more especially does this
apply at this particular season of the year than
at any other. No matter what,the exciting cause
may be, the real cause of large proportion of
all diseases is bad blood. Now, DR.. Pierce does
not wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery
in the catalogue of quack patent nostrums, by
recommending it to cure every disease, nor does
he so recommend it; on the contrary, there are
hundreds of diseases that he acknowledges it will
not cure; but what he does claim is this, that
there is but one form of blood disease that it will
not cure and that disease is cancer. He does
not recommend his Discovery for that disease,
vet he knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free the
blood and system of all other blood poisons, be
they animal, vegetable, or mineral. The Golden
Medical Discovery is cdrraRted by him to cure
the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all forms of
Blotches Pimples, and Eruptions also all Gland
ular Swellings, and the worst form of Scrofulous
and liberated Sores of the Neck, Legs, or other
parts and all Scrofulous Diseases of the Bones as
White Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip-joint and Spi-
nal Diseases,-all of which belong to Serofulous
diseases.

Letter from senator Gordon.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 10, 1875.
To the Editor of the N Y. Herald:

ALBANIA, oA'1 PCPt' 49, lO'o.
TO the Editor of the N. Y. Herald:
An editorial in your issue Of the 9th
inst. does me an injustice, which is a
matter of small consequence; but it also
misrepresents the Democrats of Misss-
sppi, which is a matter of grave conse-
quence. The misapprehension into which
you have fallen may mslead many of the
Northern people az to the nature of the
contest in Mississippi. Will you, there
fore, permit me through your columns,
to make correction, which should have
been made earlier, but for my absence? ?
In alluding to speech made by my
self at Holly Springs, Miss. you repre-
sent me as calling upon the negroes to
join the whites in driving out the carpet
baggers, and you then state that the term
carpet hagger includes all Northern men.
1t is not true that asked the negroes or
whites at Holly Springs or elsewhere to
unite in driving out Northern men. l
hope it is not necessary for me to say
that my whole course since the war, in
public and private, is in direct conflict
with such an assumption. Nor is it true
that the term carpet-bagger includes all
Northern men who have found homes in
the South. Its significance is as we'll
defined as that of black man or white
man and it means in Mississippi just
what il means all over the South. 1t
embraces that class of political adven-
turers who came to the South immediately
after the war, and by dishonest means
obtained possession of our State govern
ments, and have administered them for
the most corrupt, selfish and sordid ends,
and who have done more to destroy us,
to ALLEVIATE the races and keep alive sec
tional animosity than the war and all
things else combined. did call upon
the negroes and whites, Democrats and
honest Republicans of Mississippi, TO
unite at the polls 10 drive from power
this class of men, who have cursed that
State with what sincerely believe to be
the worst government that exists upon
earth. 1t is to be regretted that paper
90 influential and usually so impartial
should have led any one at the North TO
: suppose that the Democrats Of Mississip-
7 ri, in seeking to unite all classes in the

The following among others resolutions
were adopted by the recent Convention
of the Democrats and Liberals of MassG-
chusetts:
The Democrats and Liberal Republi
cans of Massachusetts, assembled by their
delegates in Convention to consider pub
lie exigency and organize for the great
work of political reform, appealing to all
honest men for cooperation in their eff
forts, declare and affirm as the basis Of
this action:
1. We reiterate the declarations COM
prehensively made by the National Con-
ventions at Cincinnati and Baltimore in
1879, accepting the recent amendments
to the federal constitution as full, final
and permanent adjustment Of the po-
litical controversies incident to the late
war.
2. We demand for the Union the sup
port in full vigor of all its constitutional
powers as supreme authority, utterly re-
pudiating all claim of right by any State
to secede from the Union or nullify its
laws and we demand for each State as
equally inviolable The right to govern
itself at its sovereign pleasure, subject
only to limitations and obligation of the
federal constitution.

EDIToRs CLARION: There are numer-
Gus cogent and unauswerable reasons why
the Democracy of Mississippi should sue
ceed in the approaching election, but
there is one that have not yet seen ad-
vanced which is worthy of serious con-
sideration. Nearly all the Southern
States have been rescued from the grasp
of the carpet.bagger. All Of the States,
tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and
Louisiana, almost, surrounding us are
controlled by Democrats. Well, now,
suppose we fail this fall, and it is pro-
claimed that carpet-bag domination is to
be continued in Mississippi-will itnot be
the signal for grand influx of negroes
from the white Southern States-will moi
the negro majority thus be so largely aug
mented that it will be almost impossible
to overcome it in succeeding elections
And is it not likely that such Il result
will be followed by great exodus of oul
best white population to other and more
congenial regions? On the other hand
if we carry the election, negroes from
other States will not be invited hither by
the consideration that this is Blacl
Republic where ignorance and crime lore
it over intelligence and virtue and W,
will not only retain our present excellen
white population, but we shall have larg
and valuable accessions to it from othe
sections, and thus make permanent til
priceless blessings of just and homes
government for white and black.
From this view of the subject, then
it is an imperative duty to lay aside a
things else-roll up ou, sleeves, and carr
the election. Let us work while it is y,
day, else the night will come when Il
man can work.

To COlored Voters.

Eight years ago the Yankee carpet.
baggers promised you many advantages,
favors, and improvements in our State
government. They were to do great
things for YOU.
You have patiently tried their State
administration for period of eight years.
What have they done for you, or for the
white racef Are YOU any richer than
YOU were at the surrender" Are you
any more prosperous now than you wese?
Are YOU not, in fact, hard run 20 make As
much as you are compelled to spend
What causes the hard times The cause,
and the only cause, is a very bad State
government, with high fees and salaries,
gross extravaganza, officers who are not
fit for the places they hold, extoTtion,
bribery, and the consequent imposition
of higher taxes than any people can pay
without being ruined in very few years
| We have here, of course, the same land
and the same excellent climate which Vs.
always had in the days of our prosperity.
The laborers are here; and yet wegroW
poorer every day that comes. The root
of the evil is bad government Recur
to honesty, economy and efficiency in the
the State government, and prosperity
will come to both races. We want moth
ing else. Our own labor, with the
blessings of Providence, viii soon make
us all right, when we shall have cleared
out this miserable pretense of government
and given all the offices to good men and
true.
The colored man who has no property
says to himself, II don't pay no taxes. y
, What mistake The merchant who
, first pays the taxes, puts his taxpayment
on the selling price of his meat, bread
and domestic dry goods. The poor col
=. ored man, who eats the provisions INC
!. wears the goode, peys tho taxes back Il
n the merchant in the large price put on
the article. The landowner, who pays
so vast tax on his fields, puts that ta'
n on the rent of the land, and the poo

The terrible disaster Of the steamer
Schiller, wrecked on the rocks of the
Seilly Islands, and costing, according to
the telegraphic reports, the lives Of three
hundred and fifty persons, is one of the
most tragic in all the annals of maritime
calamities. The passengers, chiefly
Germans, had been safely carried over
the broad Atlantic, aud must have been
already congratulating themselves upon
the almost immediate rest from the toss.
ing Of the waves in Plymouth Harbor.
Very many Of them, no doubt, had left
their country poor, and with no pros.
poets Of the success they had achieved
in the cities and villages and farms of
America. They were returning to the
home Of their childhood, proud with
legitimate pride Of the fruits of carefully.
calculated enterprise or persistent and
honorable toll; and with them, too, there
must have been the offspring of Ger
mans born in America, who had heard
OF but never seen the traditional glories
of the Rhine, who had been taught the
history Of the old German Empire, and
had rejoiced with the patriotism which.
in good men, death alone can extinguish.
in the victories of the new. For ali
these, comparatively speaking, but a few
hours more of travel upon the waters
would have made the scenes and the
tales of Germany living actualities. All
danger, they imagined, was passed, all
peril surmounted, but in a moment the
vessel struck upon the cruel granite
crags near Bishop Rock, and to Judge
from reports, its total loss must have
been almost instantaneous. There
could have been no gradual sinking, no
time for Intellectual efforts to get out the
boats; all must have gone down into the
raging sea with one sgoAizing, universal
shrek. The few survivors, said to be
but forty-three in number owed their
escape TO individual strength, or the
fortunate accident of being cast up bv
the waves upon one or the other of the
neighboring islets.
The Scilly Islands, upon which the
Schiller grated and was lost. are MANY
in nurber and but little known. They
are abouttwenty five miles west of Lands
End-the extreme point OF Cornwall
The largest among them is St. Mary's,

ever, inhabited by less than a score of
people, 1t is said that these dots upon
the ocean were the celebrated Casseri-

Christ. This however, can scarcely be
the case as they are composed almost
entirely Of granite, and the Phenicians,

probably enough imagined that Cornwall
itself was simply another and larger
island, and therefore included the Pen
insuia country and the Settles oil in one
group.
