That the harmful influence upon the human
system Of malaria may be eifectually coun-
teracted has been demonstrated feryears past
BY the Profession afforded the inhabitants Of
vast misunderstanding districts in North and
South America, Guatemala, Mexico and the
West Indies, by Bostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Used rs a preventive, they have invariably
been found TO be q most reliable safeguard
against chills and lever, bilious remittents.
and still more malignant types OF malarious
proved their adequacy to the task Of
graduating such maladies from the system.
For disorders Of the stomach. liver and bow
els, which in hot climates and miasmatic To-
calities are particularly rife, the Bitters are a
prompt and Thorough remedy. They also
strengthen tho system, t%ranquilize the nerves,
promote digestion and sound sleep, and inn
unwonted relish for food.

the purpose of the conference. The Re-

when all the members will be here. AT

intimated. All their alidavits viii be
considered by the Board, aud may be

throwing out the votes Of the blacks, who
were compelled by force to vote the

in my mind but what Louisiana is Re.

why Georgetown should be ConsOii.
dated with Wasbinxton.

To constitute an organic whole, of which
every part Is in vital conference with the
other, the name of Georgetown should be
consolidated with that of Washington. Their
natural relations require unity of name as
well as of government. The most intelligent
and substantial citizens of Georgetown, rep
resenting every class of society, commercial.
mechanical and professional, just before the
late civil war, assembled at Forrest Hall to
discuss this matter, and advocated a union
with Washington, to all intents and pur-
poses. To be absorbed in name, as well as In
fact, in the metropolis of the nation, they re-
garded as no derogation from their dignity or
their m aterial interests, but, on the contrary.
as a decided advantage in both respects. To
adhere, on the ground Of sentiment, to
name, significant of nothing, importing no
corporate authority, simply shell-mere
form without inward substance, and serving
to maintain and keep alive an injurious dis
tinction without a difference-was deemed
puerile and absurd. The natural division
between Georgetown and Washington is
shallow stream spanned by bridges and ira
versed by railroads at every point of COM
munication, and Commissioner Phelps has
recently stated that it is part of the plan of
future local Improvements to arch Rock
creek, and, by making the surface of the
contiguous soil continuous, obliterate every
trace of territorial partition.
Georgetown, by keeping the old designa-
tion, loses the facility of the free delivery
system OF post Office matter, letters, &C., and
is slighted and ignored in manifold direc-
tons, solely by reason of the supposed an
tagonism between the two communities Gre
ated by the diversity of names. The opposi-
ton of Georgetown to the proposed change
of name is assumed, we apprehend, without
due proof.

II is reported that on Saturday last five
American citizens went from Brownsville.
Texas, to Matamoras, Mexico, where they
were insulted and assaulted by Mexican Of
fcers and then arrested and thrown into
prison. On Sunday morning they were fined
from $40 to Il i each, with the alternative OF
two months hard labor on the public works.
1t is difficult to believe that this report is not
exaggerated. II seems strange that five citi-
zens Of the United States should thus be mall
treated for no offence whatever, and IL is
always safer to take such reports Gun, grd,o
sails. Might it not be possible that these citi-
zens were unduly inflated with bad whisky
and got up row which ended in their arrest?
When the whole truth is known il will prob
ably be found that they richly merited the
treatment they received at the hands of the
authorities.

In the election Of Gen. John T. Morgan as a

Nothing is more common than for politi-
clans and partisan newspapers to belittle the
District of Columbia and to hold out the idea
that the city of Washington has no business
and no interests worth considering by the
rest of the country or its Legislators; yet the
report of the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue shows that during the last fiscal year,
we paid into the national treasury as inter-
nal revenue tax the very respectable sum of
STA $500, which is a greater amount than
was paid by either of the States of Alabama,
Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Mississippi, Ne
vada, Oregon, South Carolina or Vermont,
and more than three times as much as was
paid by either of the Territories, save and ex
cept Montana alone. We commend these
facts to those who look upon this District as
a community of drones and beggars, entirely
dependent upon the bounty of Congress. All
the District asks is a fair show with the rest
OF the country in the matter of national
legislation,-a boon-she has never yet had
all reports and opinions to the contrary not
withstaDding.
