personaD imper ialism which has been
praeticed must be doae away, or the
first principles Of the republic will be

Our financial system of expedients
must be reformed. Gold and silver are
the real standard of values, and our
national currency will not be q perfect
medium of exchange until it shall be
convertible at the pleasure of the hold
srs As | have heretofore said, no one
| desires a return to specie payments more
earnestly than do; but | do not believe

mony with the interests of the people

not be dlsregarded with impunity The

all. has been 10 disregard of those laws,
and therefore has disturbed comm srcial
/ and business confidence, as we'll a. him
dered a return to specie payments. One
| feature of that policy was the resumption
| clause of the Act of 1876, which has
embarrassed the country by the anticipa-

which no preparation has been made, and
without any assurance that it would be
practicable. The repeal Of the clause is

| ] do not understand the repeal of the
resumftion clause Of the Act of 1875

subject haa now been distinctly declared
| There should be no hindrances put il

"As such hinderance." says the plat

denounce the resumption clause of the

| [ thoroughly believe that by public
economy, by official retrenchments, and
by wise finance enabling US to accumu

Travelcrsi Attention |

You canuot have better Udde teciuJl on
your journey than Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. That prime medicinal agent will en-
able you to drink brackish water without
running the risk Of disordered stomach and
bowels, will neutralize the influence Of foul
or miasmatic air, and will prove a most
agreeable and wholesome etimulant and
means Of countoracting the fatigues of
travelling. On long sea voyages, where the
crews Of whaling or other vessels are almost
wholly restricted to salt inert, it has proved
an admirable preventive Of scurvy, and in
the tropical seas it saves the sailor from ship
fever and malaria. 1t has ever proved the
surest reliance of the emigrant, exposed to
the miasmatic complaints which prevail in
regions Of country newly cleared of timber,
where the rays Of the sun falling on stag
nant vegetation, unexposed to them perhaps
since the creation, exhale vapors, laden
with the seeds of disease.
Acclimation, or the habituatlon Of the
constitution to the peculiarities of an unac-
customed climate, is greatly facilitated by
the regular use Of this protective elixir,
which imparts such yigor and elasticity to
every nerve and fiber that il is impossible
for the vital energies to become depressed
to point inconsistent with health. In un-
favorable conditions of the atmosphere the
Bitters should be used at least twice day,
morning and evening being the best times.
A pursuance Of this course when there is
danger, as the system develops evidences
Of debility, will effectually neutralize the
pcril.

burglary on Main street.

The Drug Store of Bunting & Pep
per was entered last Saturday night
by burglars who had evidently ex-
plored the building i'm daylight. They
bored out five inch square block Of
the rear side-door, and by inserting
the arm, turned the key and opened
the door. They then lit the lamp and
proceeded to business. Policeman,
Hamlet, happened TO be passing, and,
observing the light, ratified the knob
on the front door, when the scouudrels
blew out the lamp and skedaddled,
under a sharp fire from Capt. Ham
let's pistol. The cash-drawer being a
patent one, had not been opened. No
goods were missed, and it Is probable
that they were merely commencing
operations. 1t Is presumed that they
were after liquor and money. There is
an organized band of thieves at work
in the town and prompt means for
their apprehension should be used.
