CEASE COMPOUND has acquired really an en-
viable reputation; in fact, it has met with un-
preceden ted success. Never has there been
medicine before the people that has given such
universal satisfaction. Those who once use it
will not be without it. All look upon it as
blessing in time of affection, an children who
can but lisp its name call for it when they are
suffering with aches and pains. They have the
evidence Of hundreds of our best citizens, who
claim for it as G. family medicine that it has no
equal, and we advise all who are suffering from
Neuralgia. Rheumatism, or aches and pains Of
any kind to try it, as it will surely give imme~
diate relief. 1t is also highly spoken Of by
those who have used it in cases of Bruises,
Sprains Sore Throat, &c. 1t is home medi-
cine and home enterprise, and worthy the at
tention of those who stand in need of a good
family medicine. Read few of these cert;f-

the sale OF exchange of the Grange Hall to

subject. The Council on Monday night
appointed Messrs. Burke, Baghy and Funk

the owners of the Hall are willing to ex-
change it for city property, at least for a
! large part of it's value. AS they have got
an elephant on their hands, it is probable
the city can make an advantageous bar

A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO A RETIRING
MAYoR.-The Hunting ton wv. Va.) "Ad-
vertiser" pays the following high compli-
ment to former citizen of Staunton, vino
is retiring from the mayoralty of that city:
With this week the term of Mr. J. T.
Burke, lis Mayor of Huntington, ends; he
has served in this important office two
terms. and it is faint praise to say he has
given satisfaction. His administration has
been success throughout, and he leaves
the office with the general approval of all
good citizens, regardless of party. Mayor
Burke was most earnestly desired to accept
the office for another term, but having
given his services for two years without
remuneration, he should be permitted to
take Off the harness, especially as his
private affairs needed his attention.
During Mayor Burke's administration
there has been almost uniform peace and
quiet in the city; there have several times
been slight disturbances, but they have
always been promptly quelled.
Petty theving, which was at one time
very prevalent, has been almost entirely
checked.
Mayor Burke has given in several in
stances, his personal aid in the detection
of crime and the arrest OF criminals, and
always with good results.
He has been noted for his impartiality
in the conduct of affairs, and every class
Of citizens, without regard to race, politics
OF previous condition, has, wherever he
has been called upon to arbitrate, received
equal attention and impartial treatme Mt
Ii his successor makes rs good q record
and leaves the Office with ali equal degree
Of good Will from all parties he will be
fortunate.

Before the war the Southern States, as a
rule, were represented in Congress by men
who, whatever else might be said of them,
never suffered under the imputation OF being
open to bribery. In those days Congress-
man from the South. if he had even been sus-
pected of venality, would not only have in
Cured political humiliation, bur, likewise,
social ostracism. Since reconstruction until
now the South has been mainly represented
by carpet-baggers and scalawags, many Of
whom obtained their seats by the most repre-
hensible means, ana have been VIGOROUSLY
corrupt
1t is to be hoped, says the New York Sun,
that the native Sontherners in the new House
of Representatives will retrieve the character
of the Southern delegation, by firmly reject
ing all inducements to trade their votes.
whether these come in the shape of promised
appropriations for objects beneficial to their
constituents, or in the more vulgar form OF
direct personal emolument. A Southern Con-
gresham who consents to condone any Of the
iniquities of the existing administration, for
the sake of obtaining legislation advantageous
to his own special locality, is guilty of as dis
graceful tire ,chery as one who would sell his
vote for cash in hand, or an interest in the
Washington real estate pool.-Sarannah Ne,cs.

ST. Louis, asking aid for the Southern Pacific
Railroad. Referred to Committee on Rail

The House passed the bill to pension Judge
McCandless, of Pennsylvania, and then pro-
ceeded to eulogies on Vice President Wilson
The Committee on Appropriations of the
House reported adversely on the bill paying

The Levee Committee have unanimously
agreed to report favorably on tn So, UU0 600
bill, to be distributed as follows: Louisiana

majority of the House Military Commit
tee are opposed to a reduction of the army.
The Committee on Privileges and Elections
had desultory discussion on Mr.. Morton =

WASHINGTON Jan. 21.-It is undoubtedly
Pinchback's present intention to resign before
the adjournment of the Legislature, unless
the Senate takes action. He thinks it will be
the more manly course and enable him to
punish the Republicans, who have kept him
out. He holds that the colored people will
cease to struggle for preferment when they
tiud that wnen they have fairly gained Office
they are kept out by White Republicans
| The State Is lost to the Republicans forever
he says, if they exclude him from his rights
