This cerfifies that my wife has been affiict-
ed with consumption for the last four years,
and had become SO reduced that she was un-
able, at times, to walk across the room. and
good part of the time unable to be out of
Oed. She would be seized with violent at
tacks of coughing until she would lie almost
exhausted and helpless. She received the at
tendance OF as good physicians as could be
found in Philadelphia and the country, but
10 no effect. 1 was at last induced to try DR..
WiStdT's Bdlsdn Of Wad Cherry, and the effect
for the better was truly astonishing. Before
she had taken two bottles she felt and APP
peared almost as well as ever; so much SO
that ii is seldom necessary for her to use any
now, except occasionally, from having caught
cold from exposure, or from sudden and un-
favorable change of weather. Ihave always
been opposed to patent medicines and pro-
nounced them humbugs, but must say that

the public as decidedly the best and most eff
fcacious remedy in cases of consumption.

COURT IN GENERAL TERM
Yesterday, the case of United States agt
Benjamin ii. Bryan, was taken up-Nr. J
Parker JOrdon for the prisoner Bryan, and
District Attorney Wells for the government
Bryan was convicted of embeZZling a letter
from the city post Office at the March term OF
the Criminal Court, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for one year, and the defence
took exceptions TO the rulings at the trial on
which the case now comes up. The defendant
claims that the indictment is bad that the
word ''teelQniousI.yy, which is constitutional
part OF the offence, is not used Tao .o ; jig
ment was reserved. The case OF Mary Peters
aet. Sutor and Smoot, was argued by C. N.
Thomas for plaintiff and w. +. Mattingly
for defendants. The bill AYERS that the firm
of Suter, Lea & Co, prior to 1853 did business
as bankers and brokers in this city, and
about 1858 became insolvent; that being
seized of lot Is, in square 1872, in this city,
November s, 1855, the plaintiff executed and
delivered to VIM. a. Mix deed of trust
thereon to secure the payment of 81 900 due
and owing by her late husband, j. III. Peters,
TO Suter, Lea & Co. The trustee caused the
property TO be advertised and sold at auction
TO satisfy the deed of trust and promissory
note. The plaintiff sought to enjOin the sale
on the ground that the debt had been paid by
the plaintiffs husband during his life time.
The sole question In the case, therefore, is,
can a trustee, under deed of trust made to
secure the payment of a promissory note,
execute the express trusts of the deed 10 him
authorizing sale of the property, when the
note is overdue and unpaid for more than
twelve years; or, in other words, does the
statue of limitations in a court OF equity bar
a trust of this kind.

The Jackson Democratic Association met
last night, the President, Mr.. John e. Norris,
in the chair, and c. c. FraIser secretary pro
tenn.
Mr. John i. Hall was called upon to adj
In a review of the history Of the two parties
in this country, he said the democracy had
submitted TO the election OF Mr.. Lincoln,
who, though an honest man, had fallen into
the company of bad men, which led him to
destruction. To-day they find the President
of the United States breaking down the laws
of the country as he had the Constitution.
Troops had been sent into the southern states
TO do what republican votes could not effect
Mt the polls. The time is close at hand when
democrats will have TO face the music. He
(the speaker had faced IL once, and could do
il again. He advised all to keep cool until
the proper times arrives, when they must
strike from the shoulder, and when they do,
when, not the gray alone, but uniforms of all
colors will meet the blue. This time Ii is not
the people in rebellion against the govern
menf, but the government rebelling against
the will of the people. [Applausej
Mr.. Fury was the next speaker, and said
he believed, in this solemn crisis of affairs,
that words had ceased to have any effect.
There is not much in talk. He would not say
the time had arrived for action, but he would
say that the people of this country are stand
ing over the brink of precipice, beyond
which is yawning chasm which this nor
any other day or generation had ever ex-
plored. The people are standing in breath
less anxiety waiting to see what viii be the
next move of the traitors to constitutional
liberty. All over this broad land stand a
band of emissaries ready to choke and stamp
out constitutional liberty. Our remedy is
law, and after this fails all know the rem
edy. Could he settle this difficulty, his REM
edy would be sharp, short and decisive. lap
plause.l They viii fight under the banner Of
the Union, and for the preservation of law
and constitutional liberty. [Cheers.l Ty-
rants are always afraid of law and It may
be possible that the cOwardly villains may
yet pause before they drive the people to take
the last resort into their own hands.
The chair MIR. Norris) next addressed the
meeting on the situation. He took a more
moderate stand and more hopeful view OF
things in general, and believed that God i'm
his providence would lead them to a peace
ful and triumphant end. lApplause.l
Vice President Robert Ball presented the
association, OF behalf of Mr.. Chauncey +.
Greer, With two miniature paintings, one of
General Andrew Jackson and another of his
wife. which had been painted in 1925 by Mrs.
Mary h. Hill, a sister of Mr.. Greer's father.
The portraits are said to be very true to the
original and were the only original paintings
of President Jackson and his wife saved
from The ruins of the Hermitage when it was
destroyed by fire.

THis2 On fair count in Louisiana
may depend the decision of the Presi-

whites and two colUred men, form the
Returning Board which is to make this
count. OF the white men one Is fed

hold his position. OF the black men
one is 'the owner OF a small grogshop,

Northern men went to see him the
other day, and i'he pame Oat from his

The Intelligent and honest men of all parties

sus picion Of fraud to hang about the result. If
Mr.Tilden has a majority Of the electoral votes,
as it was reported thatlhe had the day after the
election, the whole nation will acquisce in his
success. But If, having really such majority,
the attempt is made to count him out, the nation
will not acqpiesce. The better class of the Re-
publicans themselves will be among tho first to
protest against the wrong We saY this because
we desire to impress it upon the counting boards
in the several disputed states that their action
must be open, honest and above suspicion, 1t

honor and perhaps the peace of the country, and
