and the large number of testimonials which are con-
stantly being received from persons who have been
cured by its use are conclusive proof of its great
value. 1t is recommended by physicians and ap0th-
ecaries. As Blood Purifier and Health -Restorer,
it has no equal.
VEGETINE is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debilitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the differ
ent complaints satisfactory TO any reasonable persons
suffering from disease that they be cured? Read
the different testimonials given, and no one can
donbt In many of these cases the persons say that
their pain and suffering can not be expressed as in
cases of Scronla, where apparently, the whole body
was one mass of corruption. If VEGETINE will re-
ieve pam, cleanse purify and cure such diseases re-
storing the patient to perfect health after trying diff
ferent physicians, many remedies suffering for years.
can be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works in the blood in the cir
culating fluid. 1t can be truly called the Great
Blood Purifier. The great source of disease origin
ates in the blood and medicine that does not act
directly upon it, to purify and renovae, has any just
claim upon public attention. When the blood be-
comes lfeless and stagnant, either from change of
weather or climate want of exercise, irregular diet
or from any other cause, the VEGETINE will renew
the BLOOD carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the
stomach, regulate the bowels and impart tone of
vigor to the whole body. The conviction is in the
public mind as well as in the medical profession that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are
more safe, more successful in the cure of disease
than mineral medicines. VEGETINE is composed of
roots, barks, and herbs. 1t is pleasant to take and
is perfectly safe to give an infant Do you need it?
Do not hesitate to try it, You will regret it,

The Democratic chances of carrying any
Northern state this fall were never very
good, and have now nearly vanished; but
there has been some reason in their claim of
a united South. Now even that hope is
leaving them, and they are beginning to
reconcile themselves to the probability OF los
ing South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Ala
bama and Mississippi. Of course this utter
ly destroys Tilden's prospects.

INTERcoLoNIAL RAILRoAD.-July the first
train of the Intercolonial Railway was run
from Halifax, N. S., to Quebec. The entire
length of the roa operated by the government
is 754 miles. 1t has been built by the Domin-
ion government at cost Of about $4,000, 900.
1t is we'll built and is designed to unite the up
per and lower provinces by rail. A large por-
ton of the country through which it passes is
barren wilderness There is much good tim
Der in the vicinity ami some good settling land
but the latter is the exception. The climate of
the country for the most part is severe and the
SHOWS are usually very deep. 1t is not expect
ed that the business of the road will ever pay
more than running expenses, and the gov
ernment must provide for the interest on the
bonds which were sold to build it. The Do
minion has embarked heavily in railroad
schemes and it remains to be seen how the pol
lev will work. Already these government roads
are powerful political machines. The road Is
longer than any of the routes from Ottawa,
Montreal or Quebec to st. John, n. b., than
those which are now aud soon will be opened
through Portland and Boston. Business and
travel generally will seek the most direct and
cheapest route to the rest of the world. There
are those who believe that this long wilderness
line, which passes through tracts of country
seventy miles without settlement. viii Affect
the railway lines which seek the seaboard by
shorter and more direct routes. If the new
line takes the business, it will be because the
government will do business at less rates than
private corporations.

IT was Sunset Cox, who few days since
made the Confederates in the Tilden Conven-
ton roar with delight when he remarked
that "we can get along without an army un-
til December" 1t was this same little effer-
vescing mortal, who, full of righteous indig-
nation, in view of the Custer slaughter,
shrieked out the questions: ''Where are your
twenty-five thousand men? Why are not
some of them released from the throat of the
South to fight the Soux?" Mr.. Cox should
have known that in the whole department of
the South, there are less than 1900 soldiers,
medical staff, musicians and officers of every
rank. Indeed, there are more soldiers sat
the throat OF the North," than the South-to
use Democratic figure of speech. Three
fifths of the army is in the Indian country,
and one-fourth is west of the Rocky Noun
tains. Of late Mr.. Cox has displayed great
capacity for making fool of himself.

THE Shoe & Leather Reporter has word
of advice to bankers concerning their action
which is worth reproducing. 1t says: Dur
ing the shrinkage that has been going on
trade of all kinds has languished, and money
has been flowing to the great centers of
finance. Everywhere it has been drug in
the market, and preposterously low rates
have been accepted for its use, rather than
have it earning absolutely nothing. Now is
the time for bankers to show that they are
not the mere money usurers they are gener-
ally credited with being, but really as useful
a part of the buiness body as any other of its
members The manufacturers going to work
will need money to purchase stock and pay
labor, and the banks they support should see
to it they are supplied. It may seem far
easier to expend the funds of bank in buy
ing favorite class of paper at good round
rate, instead of loaning it to needy customers
at home, but it is an injury to tie institution
and the locality it represents.

ga gigantic falsehood divided into sec-
tions. ."-Senator Morton's definition OF the
st. Louis platform.
Hampton and Tilden is the way the South
Carolina Democrats put it. 1t would be
little singular, but consistent, if the ticket
became Hampton and Hendricks. One thing
they can confidently rely upon-that Wade
Hampton made no false return Of his income
during the years of the war.
A colored man in Mississippi writes to his
father in Kentucky as follows: snow, father,
our state is in an awful condition, and 1t is
very doubtful whether We will carry the state
TOR Hayes and Wheeler or not, for the whites
are making the colored people join the Dem
ocratic party whether they want to or not.
So if everything stands here as it is now,
will not vote at all, and if had nv way
there would not be one colored vote cast In
this state this year; for, without some pro-
lection here. it will be better for the colored
people not to vote. for the Democratic party
do say here that the graves are dug. and the
collins are made, for all the colored men who
do not vote the Democratic ticket, and am
one that will suffer death before I will vote
the Democratic ticket, and II I cannot east
my ballot with the Republican party, 1 will
not vote at ALL"

False Claim.

The Argus continues to tell its readers
that the Confederate House saved the coun-
try thirty millions because its appropriation
bills aggregate about that sum less than
those OF the last Congress. The argus we
believe knows better than to make the state
ment that an appropriation bill is the meas
ure of expenditure. 1t only places limit to
expenditure and indicates the purposes for
which the money is voted. Because a man
estimates that it will cost him certain sum
to build house and places that amount on
deposit from which to draw, it does not fol-
low that he must expend the entire amount.
The cost of the house is not the amount he
appropriates or estimates but the amount he
pays for material and labor. The amount
which Congress appropriates is not the meas
ure OF the expenditure of the Government,
but the amount which is actually paid out Of
the Treasury.
The argus however, makes its saving by
comparing the appropriations of Congress for
the fiscal year ending June 80 1875 with
those made by the present Congress for the
year ending June 80 1877. 1t is very careful
not to compare the appropriation with the
expenditure. For instance, Congress appro-
priased $273.00O,0O0 for the last fiscal year of
which $25S, ,450, 900 (round numbers) was ex-
pended. The late Confederate House appro-
priated s247,OOO,OO (round numbers). To
this last sum should be added about $4,000
600 for appropriations continued at the rate
OF those OF the year previous, while the two
branches were disagreeing on the amounts.
This will make the aggregate and real appro-
priations of the present Congress, for the
fiscal year 1877, $257,OOo,OOO. When the
appropriations for the Centennial Exhibition
is added and the appropriation to pay the
awards of the Court of Claims is made, as it
must be, both amounting to $500, 900, the
boasted saving of the Argus is very small.
Up to this time the argus has not given
the expenditures Of the last fiscal year, but
to show that the expenditures of the Gov
ernment are gradually decreasing, we give
the official figures for several wears.

Looking to Maine.

Republicans of Maine! The Republicans
Throughout the nation are looking to you for
decisive advance in the campaign, on Mon
day, the 11th of September. More depends
upon you than upon any other skirmishers
for that example which always has had so
potent an influence in the grand battle of
November. You are doing well, as you
always do, but the enemy is more impatient
with long waiting, more active and more
desperate. You must do better than ever
before.
The issue is as vital as that which led to
the shareholders rebellion. The Democratic
victories of 1852 and 1856 laid the foundation
of that rebellion. 1t grew up gradually,
almost imperceptibly, under the aggressive
cultivation of the Southern fire-eaters and
the cowardice of Pierce and Buchanan, until
bloody and exhausting war was necessary

1T is clearly manifest that the South Caro-
lima Democrats intend to carry on cam
paign of intimidation, and deter colored Re-
publicans from voting. The Republicans are
however determined to have fair election,
in which case the electoral vote of the state
will be cast FOR Hayes and Wheeler.
