JANUARY z, 1870.
II. R. STEVENS, Esq:
Dear Sir: When about six months
old / was vaccinated. The parties who
were vaccinated from the same virus
died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent that
was rolled in bran to prevent me from
scratching my person. The disease
finally settled in my head. l remained
in this condition about twenty years,
troubled all the time with sores breaking
in my head and discharging corrup-
ton from my ear. At this time small
kernel appeared on my neck, gradually
increasing i'm size until tumOr formed
of such immense size I could see it by
turning my eyes downward. All this
time was taking various remedies for
my blood without any substantial bene-
fit.
/ then went to prominent physician
in Boston who, during his treatment of
six months, lanced the tumor eight
times, which cost me nearly $400. This
left me with rough, aggravated sore,
without at all diminishing the size OF
the tumor, and in sickly, feeble condi-
ton. l consulted another physician in
Matte, who, after considerable time, sue
ceeded in healing the sore without re-
ducing the size. At this point l COM
menced to use VEGETINE, through the
earnest persuation of a friend. After
had taken this medicine about one week
l experienced wonderful sensations.
My whole body seemed to be undergo
ing radical change, until, finally, the
tumor broke and discharged frightful
quantities From this time it decreased
in size until the bunch disappeared,
but my neck still bears the ugly sears
of the sore and lance. | am now
healthy and strong and able to work
every day.
will also mention that l have been
an acute sufferer from intiammatory
rheumatism ever since | can remember,
until commencing the use of VEGETINE
when almost Immediately all rheumatic
pains ceased. This statement l vOlun-
teer for the purpose of benefiting other
suffering humanity, and you will con-
fer afavor by giving it as much publici-
ty as thought proper.
Very gratefully,
o. M. SAVELS, Ashland, Mass.

Mr.. RIDDLE, of TENNESSEE, pro-
poses an easy way to pay the rebel
war claims. In the late Congress he
introduced the following tbill, and
next winter it will come up to be
acted upon. All that is necessary in
the meantime is to elect Tilden, and
then with Secretary of War of com
plant disposition, you see the thing
is easily done, and the debt of the
Nation is increased two-fold. Study
the bill:
"a bill directing compensation to be
allowed for the use and occupa
tion of property by the United
States army during the late war:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, That the Secreta-
ry of War be and is hereby author
lied to allow reasonable compensa-
tion to all citizens of the United
States for the use and occupation of
their property by the United States
army or any part thereof, during the
late civil war, in the same manner
and under the same regulations as
compensation is now allowed for
Quartermaster stores used by said
army: Provided, however, that the
affidavit of the claimant, supported
by the competent testimony of any
reputable citizen, shall be sufficient
proof to establish the fact of the use
and occupation of such property by
said army. But it is not the inten-
tion of this act to limit the parties to
the amount of proof herein specified,
but other and additional testimony
may be taken to establish the fact of
the use and occupation and rental
value of the propertyoccupied."
Notice the easy method provided
for the proof of these claims; only
one witness required. Vote for
HAYES and NEAL if you want to stop
this wholesale raid upon the Treas
ury.

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of this County, through a
challenge addressed to the Republi-
can Executive Committee, proposing
joint discussion between Mr.. NEAL
and Mr.. VANCE, attempted to infuse
into the dead bones Of their Congress
sional canvass the elements of life,
but they had been too long rotting in
the valley of desolation to be affected
by the attempt. The worms had
long since destroyed the flesh, and
the bones are too far gone to be
reached only by the horn of Gabriel
They are dead, dead, dead, and
peace be with them.

Vance Corrected.


Col. VANCE, in his speech in the
Court House, last week, attempted an
apology for the action of the late
Confederate Congress, in the matter
of Union soldiers dismissed and
rebel soldiers appointed. The Colo
mel spoke more particularly of the
Door-keeper's Department. He said
that the Republicans never had over
eighteen Union soldiers in that de-
partment, and that the appointment
of Confederates by the Democratic
House, were only ten. We have be-
fore us the Congressional Record,
containing a full list of the removals
and appointments, and that list
shows that there were discharged
from the Doorkeeper's department,
% Union soldiers, and that there
were appointed in their places, 19
Confederates. or these % Union
soldiers discharged, 8 were disabled
by wounds received in the service.
Thus much for this statement of Col.
Vance.
While upon this subject, we will
give full statement of these re-
movals and appointments, not only
that our readers may be furnished
with evidence to correct any further
mis-statements of democratic ora
tors, but that the loyal men of old
Gallia may understand that the term
Confederate, applied to the recent
Congress, was not mis-applied.
An examination of the table be-
fore us shows that there were dis.
charged from the Doorkeeper's de-
partment, % Union soldiers; from the
Clerks office, 10 Union soldiers;
from the Post-office, 13 Union SOL
diers; from the Capitol police, 2 Un
ion soldiers; making a total of 81
Union soldiers discharged by the
democratic House since its organi-
zation in December. Sixteen of
these soldiers were disabled in fight
ing for the Union. There were
appointed in their places, in the
Doorkeeper's department, 10 Con-
federates;. in the Clerks Office, 10; in
the Post-office, Ia; Capital police,
l, and 8 committee clerks; making a
total of Al Confederate soldiers ap-
pointed.
This is the action of the late
Democratic House, and it shows the
utter adherence which that party.
through its representatives, exhibits
for the Union soldiers, and the love
it has for those who bore arms
against the Republic. No protes-
tations of loyalty will stand against
such a record of Union soldiers,
many of them made legless and arm
less in the service of their country,
dismissed and rebel soldiers appoint

vance's Speech-Rebel Claims
and the Constitution.


Mr.. VANCE, in his speech in the
Court House, last week, made the
statement that the rebel war claims,
of which the country is just now
alarmingly sensitive, and which are
being pressed upon the attention OF
Congress, were barred by Constitu-
tional provision. Let us see if this
is true, because if not true, then the
speaker is unworthy to be the Repre-
sentative in Congress Of the people
of this District.
The 4th section of the 14th amend
ment is the only part of the Consti-
tuition which refers to this subject.
We quote that section in full:
Sec. 4. The validity Of the pub
lie debt of the United States, au-
thorized by law, including debts in
CURED for payment of pensions and
bounties, for services in suppressing
insurrection or rebellion, shall not be
questioned; but neither the United
States nor any State shall assume or
pay any debt or obligation incurred
in aid of insurrection or rebellion
against the United States, or any
claim for the loss or emancipation of
any slave. But such debts, obliga-
tions and claims shall be held illegal
and void.
BY looking at this article we find
that there are but two classes of
claims declared 'illegal and void" by
it LIST. All debts or obligations in
Cured in aid of insurrection or re-
bellion against the United States,
which evidently means the Confed-
crate war debt, and property used by
the Confederate army during the war /;
and I'd. All claims for slaves lost or
emancipated by or during the war.
These two classes are plainly all that
are debarred by the Constitution.
All others, such as property destroy
ed by our armies, or conhscated for
the use of our armies during the war,
are not included under this article,
and the statement by Mr.. VANCE
that they are, shows that he is either
a demagogue, or else lacks the need
full knowledge to make safe Repre-
sentative. Claims of this character,
amounting to over two billions of dol
lars, are already before Congress, and
the people are anxious about the pos
sibility of their payment in case of
the election of Tilden by solid
South.
But the point is, the misrepresenta-
tion made by Col. Vance. Certain
ly such a man, holding the position
he does, yet willing to mis-represent
the plain meaning of the organic
law of the land, for the purposes of
the demagogues, is base to such an
extent that the people should, and we
predict they will cast him out as a
dangerous man to our Common
wealth.

THE MEDICINE THAT CURES
Y ( G ( T | N E


Taking into consideration the charac-
ter of its vouchers, the history of its
cures and the immense increasing de-
mand, VEGETINE may be fairly entitled
the leading medicine of the age.
For scrofula in the blood, VEGErINE
is an infallible remedy, and no person
need suffer from tumors, ulcers, and all
diseases arising from impure blood, if
VEGErINE is used according to direc-
tions. There is not case of scrofula in
existence that VEGErINE will not cure,
provided, however the vital functions
have not lost their power of action,
all that may be said to the contrary not
withstanding.
VEGETINE is pleasant to the taste,
mild in its influence, and absolute in its
action on disease, as the following un-
questionable evidence will show.

VANCE, of North Carolina, and
VANCE of Ohio, are both members OF
the present Congress, and voted to-
gether upon all measures OF apar-
ty character. The North Carolina
VANCE is the Tilden candidate for
Governor, in that State, as VANCE, of
Ohio, is the Tilden candidate for
Congress in the Eleventh District.
Well, this North Carolina Vance
said in a recent speech, 81 would not
give one cent for the flag or the Un-
ion, unless it is administered under
the old Constitution of our fathers" :"
He denounces the reconstruction
acts, and the abolition of slavery, as
diaholical frauds upon the American
people. Now, the question arises, is
Vance of Ohio, in harmony with
Vance, of North Carolina, as they
were in harmony when in Congress
does Vance, of Ohio, endorse the SEN
timent of Vance, of North Carolina,
that the Union is valueless sunless
administered under the old Consti-
tuition" These are important ques-
tions, because if the Democracy is
the same everywhere, as its friends
claim it is, then the loyal people OF
Ohio want none of it. Let Vance
of Ohio rise and explain. If Vance,
of North Carolina, is wrong and un.
patriotic in his utterances, it is the
duty of Vance, of Ohio, as watch.
full sentinel on the tower of freedom
and Union, to denounce him fol
such utterances. If, in the face Of
such a sentiment, Vance, of Ohio
neglects to denounce it, he is an un.
profitable sentinel, and his place
should be supplied by one more
true to liberty and Union.

How important, then that every Re-
publican vote should be polled, and
polled right in October. Every Re-

at HAYES. Let every Republican see
