This report was duly laid before
Secretary Chandler and read by him.
Almost immediately after the April
election | was discharged If l had
been negro laboicr and Chandler Il
Southern employer might have in
stituled proce: ding, under an act OF
Congress to punish him by fine and
Imprisonment for intimidation and in
terierlng with my freedom of choice.
But in my case there was and is no
redress, except this plain statement of
facts to the people, who can remove
this misconceptions man from power.
Your readers, no doubt, are aware
that y similar system of extorton har
been since applied TO the whole Inte-
tior Department. But perhaps they
may not be aware OF the cunning way
III which he is endeavoring to saddle
the blame for some OF his other mis-.
deeds upon Democratic shoulders. He
causes or allows his suhOrdnates to
publish, at the expense OF the people,
a campaign document which is ap.
pended to thousands of circulars, that
are necessarily read by the inventors
of the country and Others in the trans
action OF their business. This docu-
ment asserts that any delay which
may occur in acting upon applica-
tons for patents and the like is owing
to the reduction Of force caused by
Congress. Yet Chandler has already
dismissed fifty per cent. more employees
than the Appropriation bill ever con
temphted, and is, in addition, contin-
ually sending away on unreasonably
long leaves those OF his subordinates
who wish to take pari in the cam
paign That is, after having improp.
erly Topped off two large parts OF his
force, he notifies the people at their
own expense that the Democratic
House is responsible if he cannot keep
up his work with the remainder.

1t is n mistake TO suppose that Castoria is
not adapted TO grown persons as well as
Children. They only need to increase the
quantity. But children have so many COM
plants for which Castoria is adapted like
Wind Collie, Sour Stomach, Worms, Tet-
tiers, Tccthing and Group, that it is cspec-
ally recommended for them.
Its effects are more certain than Castor
Oil. 1t contains no achohol and is as
pleasant 10 take as honey. 1t never
grires. BY regulating the stomach and
bowels the Castoria c0oIs the blood, cx
pels worms and prevents teverishncss, quiets
nerves and produces health then OF course
children can sleep in quiet and mothers
can rest
Castoria is recommended by all physic-
i"ne and nurses VINO have tried it. and it is
having rapidly increasing sale. 1t is pre-
pared with great care after the recipe of DR..

ARTICLE Ia, Section of the Con-
stitution, reads as follows:
THE VALIDITY OF THEPUB-
Lie DEBT OF THE UNITED

INCLUDING DEBTS INCURRED
FOR PAYMENT OF PENSIONS
AND BOUNTIES FOR SERVICES
IN SURPRISING INSURREC-
ZION OR REBELLION, SHALL
NOT BE QUESTIONED. BUT
NEITHER THE UNITEDSTATES,

CLAIM FOR THE LOSS OR

SLAVE; BUT ALL SUCH DEBTS,
OBLIGATIONS AND CLAIMS

The above provision ofthe Consti-
tuition forever disposes of thl pretense
that there are any versions in the Unit
ed States who expect to secure the
payment of the war debt of the South
ern Contederacy.
In order to alter the above Article
(14) or any other in the Constitution,
it is necessary to have two-thirds
vote of Congress, and three fourths
vote Of the people Of the whole coun-
try. Away with this nonsense, then,
of paying the Rebel debt"
CastOria is "A perfect substitute for
Castor Oil, without any of its objec-
tons, for it is pleasant to take, and
does not nauseate or grippe. For Cos
tiveness at any age, but especially for
Sour Stomach, Wind Collie, Worms
and the Disordered Bowels of Child
len, it is the most effective remedy in
existence. Ii is harmless, it is reia.

Rheumatism, Sprains, and most flesh,
