Gated within one mile of the crossing of the

and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and

Brick House, and all the outbuildings,

Mr.. Blanton Duncan gives, in the
Louisville Commercial, an interesting
account of the Confederate currency.
He says the total issue never reached
$3.50, 900, 900, and its depreciation was
less than is popularity believed. He
says the paper dollars was worth IS
cents i'll gold in November, 1861 /; 60
cents in May, 1862: As or so cents in
November, 1862; 16 cents in July,
1861 cents in November, 1868; 5
cents in May, 1864, from which period
to the termination of the war it fuctua-
ted, going up once to 6 cents, and only
failing entirely as medium in the last
two months prior to the capitulations,
when every one saw that defeat was
inevitable.

Important Results Pleasantly
Achieved.

Although the days of irrational medica-
ton are happily passing away, and intel
ligent physicians have ceased to measure
the supposed efficacy of a remedy by the
violence of its effects, there still linger
among the older practitioners few of
those predictions in favor of "heroic"
treatment, which it would be lucky for
their patients if they had abandoned. One
of these is 4 fondneSS for administering
drastic purgatives, such rs blue pill, Gallo
mel. ialap and castor oil. \ contrast of
the effects of these drenching drugs with
the mild and benefcent operation of Hos
letters Stomach Bittcrs, is the very best
argument that can be adduced against tlfe
wisdom of such destructive treatment.
The old fashioned cathartics convulse the
stomach, and relax the bowels so abruptly
and copionsly as To weaken them. Hos
letters Bitters, OH the contrary, never
gripc the intestines, but produce laxa-
tive effect resembling the action OF ma
ture. At the same time they remove the
cause of stipulation, by arousinS the dor
mant liver to secrete the bile necessary TO
the regular performance OF the eXcretive
function, and enable the stomach to thor
oughly digest the food. Indigestion and
biliousness having been thus overcome, 4
regular habit of body is the necessary con-
sequence, which the occasional subse-
uuent use of the Bitters renders perma-
nent. Every disagreeable symptom which
in the absence of perfect digestion and
evacuation, harnesses the system, vanishes
under the influences of the great national
stomachic and Alternative. Health and
vigor are twin blessings that follow its

After the parade was over prayer,.was
offered by Rev. IT, B. Sheppard, follow
ed by an address by the Hon. James H.
Grove in which the legal aspects of the
Temperance Question were thoroughly
discussed, proving plainly from history,
as well as the law, that the privilege to
sell intoxicating liquors is mol the right
of any man in the United States. Inc
unconstitutionality Of the License Law
was clearly shown. We wish that every
voter in Jefferson county could have
listened to this speech, and we hope
that MIR. Grove will put it into print, in
some convenient shape, and thus give it
a wide circulation. Although the speech
REQUIRED nearly two hours in its deliv-
err. it was intently listened TO, through
out. 1t was pronounced by many as
the finest temperance argument ever
delivered in this State. In the after
noon Mr.. Sheppard occupied the stand,
and made very pleasant, and suitable
address. Mr.. Freed spoke at night,
but, as l was again absent, / cannot
give any account of the speech, except
that l have heard that it was a good
one.
The audience was tolerably large yes
terday, and promises to be larger to-
day. The meeting will be closed on
Thursday.

STRIPED SrocKlSGs--The striped
stocking mania, which has existed more
or less for the past two years, is reduced
to very small proportions. 1t is quite
true that there is very great deal OF
luxury in hose at the present time, but
stripes have grown so broad and are SO
monopolized by the stage, by those who
initiate stage fashions, that women of
real distinction and refinement will not
wear them. The stocking par excel
lence at the present moment is a fine

Decision Of The West Virginia
Capital Case-WheeIing Fri.
umphant.

CuARLEsTowN, W. Va, September Is,
1S75.-The Supreme Court of Appeals
of West Virginia, in session here, this
morning rendered their dicision in the
famous 'capital case," sustaining the
validity of the act removing the capital
to Wheeling. The opinion of the
court, delivered by Judge Hay mond, was
very lengthy and exhaustive, and met
and disposed of all the points made in
the argument of the case. The chief
argument advanced by the council for
the city of Charleston were:
l. That the act of the Legislature
was null and void as against public
policy, because its recites a corrupt
contract made by the Legislature with
the citizens of Wheeling to influence
its passage.
2. Because its execution depended
upon the will of the contractors, no
provision being made to meet the ex-
pense of re moval, &c, should they re-
fuse to carry out their offer or contract.
8. The act was unconstitutional, in
that its title provides for temporary
removal, while its body effects a per-
manent one-the constitution requiring
every act to have but one object, and
that to be expressed in its title.
The jurisdiction Of the court below
to restrain the Governor, by injunction,
from executing the law was also point
in the cause.
The syllabus of the decision, after
reciting the duty of the court to uphold
a statute where the conflict between it
and the constitution is not clear, and
quoting the preamble referring to the
Temporary removal, and the act dec.
laring tina. the seat of government shall
be at the city of Wheeling "till hereat-
| ter otherwise provided by law" con-
cudes with the following reference to
the injunction previously granted by
Judge Smith, of the Kanawha circuit:
A Judge of Circuit Court in vacation
or Court of Equity had not power or
authority to restrain by injunction John
J. Jacob as citizen, or as Governor OF
the State, or other officer or officers,
person or persons, acting under his au-
thority as Governor Of the State, or by
his direction; in the execution OF said
act of the Legislature, from removing
from the city of Charleston to the city
of Wheeling the papers and movable
property in said act mentioned until the
constitutonaity and validity of said act
was judicially determined, although the
bill praying the injunction alleged the
unconstitutionality of the act; the
powers and duties springing from said
act, and the constitution being execu-
tive and of such nature that enjoining
the Governor from executing said act,
was an invasion by the judiciary of ex-
ecutive powers and duties devolved
upon the Governor as chief executive of
the State. The Judiciary cannot inquire
into the motives and necessities which
may have superinduced the passage of
an act. Tie courts have no right to
set aside, to arrest or to nullify law
passed in relation to subject within
the scope of the Legislative authority,
on the ground that it conflicts with
their notions of natural right, absolute
Justice or sound morality"
The court has adjourned for the
terri,

A grand Republican mass meeting
was held at Clinton, Mass, on Satur-
day the 4th inst, during the progress
of which a difficulty began over bot
tie of whiskey, which resulted in the
killing of q number of negroes aud
some whites. How unfortunate it is
for the Republican press, and public
speakers that it was not Democrat
meeting. They are deprived Of their
usual shouts of "Kuklux outrage,
rebels, premeditated murder of limo
cent black people," and ali such "bloody
shirt" balderdash. 1t develops the fact
that the Radicals OF the South have
love for the black eo-extensive with
their voting propensity, and no more,
and in personal or social matters, if
they do not keep black seat, they
murdered them with impuuity. Per
haps the black people of the country
will some days learn who have, and
who have not, their meterlal interests at
heart.
