NoNE bat a physician knows how
much a reliable Alternative is needed by
the people. On all sides of us, in all
communities everywhere, there are null
titudes who suffer from complaints that
nothing but an Alternative cures. Hence
a great many of them have been made
and put abroad with the assurance of
being eitectual. But they fail to nc
oomplish the cures they promise, be-
cause they have not the intrinsic virtues
they claim. In this state of the case,
DR.. J. G. Aver & Co., of Lowell, have
supplied a Compound Extract of Sarsa-
parilla, which proves to be the long-de-
sired remedy. Its peculiar difference
from other kindred preparations in the
market is that it cures the diseases for
which it is recommended, while they
may not. We are assured OF this fact
by more than one intelligent physician
in this neighborhood, and have the
further evidence of our own experienc
of its truth. Il Nashville Tenn. Farmer.

The Scandal correspondent of Nh

The Scandal correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says:
A most astonishing report is current
in town to-day. 1t is to the effect that
over Sl75, 900 is missing from the treas.
ury of Plymouth Church The loss is
cumulative. Every year over $3.50
has been divided up among the princi-
pie stockholders in Plymouth, which is
neither more nor less than close cor
pOration, Beecher being the atlas who
supports it. This year large sum of
money-said to be in the neighbo-hood
of S175,0 5,000-has disappeared. The
is that it has been applied,
without the knowledge and consent of
all the shareholders to the payment of
Expenses incident to the scandal. Fees
for detectives, compensation for the in
vestigating committee, retainers of coun-
sel,-all these outlets have drained the
Ipious well-spring pretty dry. 1t is be-
cause Bowen is likely to insist on an in
Ivestigation into Shearman's accounts
that Tracy made his violent attack upon
the editor of the Independent and the
Cloaca Maxima of the scandal.

Judge Drummond's recent decision, lin op,
position to decision covering the same point
by the Supreme Court of this state) that it is
illegal under the constitution of Illinois to
tax the capital stock of incorporated compan-
les, is creating slight sensation in judicial
circles. If L. 5. courts can take up questions
of purely local state concernment, and re-
verse decisions of the state courts, what is
the use of having state courts? The law of
Illinois which undertakes to tax the capital
stock of Interpretations, and then to double on
them by also taxing the tangible property in
which the capital stock of such corporations
Is invested, is monstrous enough, doubtless,

be able to remedy such injustice or blunder.

The superintendent of the Illinois & Michi
gan canal gives notice of the opening of the
ditch for navigation on 18th inst, though
We see no movements about the canal at OF
taw to indicate the resumption of any great
commercial activity in that quarter. The
truth is, the prospects for the canal look
somewhat gloomy for the coming season. Its
heaviest business is usually carrying corn to
Chicago and loading back with lumber. But
this year the short corn crop of last season
coupled with very low railroad freights all
winter, has about emptied the warehouses
along the canal and river of corn, so tha,
there is little for the canal left but to haul
stone and lumber. The canal will never be q

THE LEGISLATURE.

There being no democratic paper IN 'hl
cago. and all the dalles of that city being
particularly hostile to the independently ol
I"rranrer" element as they call it, the recen
legislature of this state has received nothing
hut the most Incorporate abuse from tina
ouar,er, anu AS the Chicago papers are Sc
largely read all over this part of the state
people of all parties in this region are amos
ncrsuaded that the Times and Tribune have
been nearly correct in designating the late
legislature as the worst that ever met in III
nois The injustice of such a sweeping de
nunciation is however easily shown. The
late Legislature may not have done as muck
work as some others, nor did i! spend half As
much time or money as either ofthe two iha
preceded it; but what work it did was wei
done, and for many laws 1t failed to pass 1t Il
really entitled to more credit than preceding
legislatures for a great many pernicious laws
they did pass
The chief trouble with the late legislature
was, that neither OF the two great parties had
square working majority in either house
The republicans having been masters for the
last twenty years, were hardly able to realize
that the sceptre had departed from them, and
resented its withdrawal, by combination be
tween the democrats and Independents, as q
sort of wrong and insult Instead of recog
nizing their position as the minority and
"grinnng and bearing the majority rule as
the democrats had done before them, they
made il their main business to embarrasS the
proceedings and foment and aggravate dlsscn
sons The other side, instead Of meeting
them in firm and dignified spirit, that would
soon have taught them their places, had the
misfortune to be lead by a hot, quick.tem
pcrcd, irascble speaker who, whatever may
be said OF his personal integrity and intimate
knowledge Of parliamentary law and prac
tCc, was by temperament and disposition
certainly wholly unified for the office o.
speaker Thus lead and engineered, the ma
jority naturally fell to the grade of the oppo
sition in carrying on the miserable contest o
low partisanship and individual annimos
ties, which were pushed to an extreme foI
which we must look to the Senegambian con
venticles Of Louisiana or North Carolina tor
parallel.
For either political party, as such, to hope
to make capital out of the shortcomings OF
the late legislature is "stuif and nonsense. -
The republicans in all that tended to cast
ridicule upon the body or bring it into con
tempt, are a good deal deeper in the mud
than the other party are IN the mire. They
were the aggrcssors, the fomenters of discord
the beginners of every row. The other party
IS only to be blamed for showing themselves
