The following is the unanswerable presenta-
on of the situation By the Nation (rep) whicn
viii be carefully weighed, not only by GOV.
Hayes but by thousands of true men who will
hesitate before consenting to a prostitution Of
the forms of Justice in the way proposed:
Bv the time our next issue reaches our read
ers the Electoral College will have met and
voted and the evident design of the Louisiana
Returning Board is to reserve its decision to the
latest possible moment. 1t is, therefore, not too
soon to ask Mr.. Hayes, with the utmost re-
spect, some questions which we make bold to
say are to-day running III the minds of hundreds
of thousands of upright, patriotic and anxious
men of all parties. They are these: You are an
honest man, i'll whose life not even the fierce
light of Presidential campaign has revealed
speck of reproach. From tribunal, therefore,
like the Louisiana Returning Board, composed
exclusively of your friends and partisans,
whose Judicial integrity and capacity have
been already successfully impeached; which
refuses to obey the direction of the law and
give the opposite party even one place on
its bench; which deliberates in secret, and
gives no reasons for its decisions; which sees
glaring frauds exposed in its presence without
manifesting either surprise or displeasure, and
which VIGOROUSLY enjoys not one iota of conf
dence in any part of the Union-from such a
tribunal you would not accept the award even
of one hundred dollars against the claim of the
humbest man in America, would you? We
know you would not. Are you now prepared
to accept at its hands an office which equals any
crown in dignity and surpasses most crowns in
power and responsibility. which no man has
hitherto held with stain or suspicion resting
on his title? Can you encounter the terrible
ordeal of holding such position for four years
in the face of the belief of full half the voters
that YOU have obtained it through judicial fraud
and chicane? Would not your so holding it be
new and great misfortune to the country, and
source of unending shame and repentance to

Where there is q continual dropping down in

ammation of the nasal cavities and throat
with hawking, splitting, and sense of fullness
about the head, be not deceived or fancy it a

OF this climate, Catarrh, the forerunner of Con
sumption. In Its early stages 4 few bottles of
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will effect an entire
cure. When confirmed. DR.. Perce's Golden
Medical Discovery should be used in connection
with the Remedy. These standard medicines
have been before the public many years, and
their use has been attended with the most graf
flying success. A full discussion Of Catarrh and
its rational treatment is contained in The Peo-

Thousands lead miserable lives, suffering
from dyspe osa a discorded stomach and liver,
producing biliousness, heartburn, costiveness,
