full statement to the President and Secretary
Chandler. who happened to be present, at the
same time rendering his resignation, which
was accepted by the Presiden, afte- hearing

How memory, with her wUntlrous train,

For deeds Of mercy done.
And that his heart was t'ur aTd great,

Governor T,lden's Presidential Chances

Governor TIlden's Presidential Chances
Governor Tilden is making visible prog
ress toward success at St. Louis He is al
ready as good as certain of the delegation
from his great state, aud is likely to get all
the New England delegations. although,
with the exception of Connecticut. those
states can only assist in nominating but
not in electing him. Nebraska has Just de-
clared in his favor, and her six votes will
be of as much service to him at St. Louis
as if she were not immoyably Republican
Mr.. Tilden is ahead of his rivals to-day
both in the number of delegates of which
he feels secure aud also in more desirable
relation to the issues on which the presi-
dental campaign seems likely to be
fought. The work of the investigating
committees is bringing reform more and
more into the foreground as the paramount
question, and his friends claim that he is
the fttest representative OF reform among
all the statesmen of the Democratic party.
The efficient part he took in the destruc-
ton of the Tammany Ring and his
equally unrelentlng war on the Canal Ring
have given him reform record which no
other prominent Democrat has attempted
to emulate. It the revolving exposures at
Washington continue all other issues may
be eclipsed by that of reform, and the
expectation that this will be the case is
what makes Governor Tilden's friends so
confident
THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ON TILDEN.
Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer is an
exceedingly warm and outspoken adherent
of Governor Tilden On my way from
| OF ha Stofn /
vorsed with the gentleman at Albany.
He considers that no better man can be
named for the Democratic nomination al
ST. Louis than Samuel j. Tiden. why,
remarked Mr.. DOrsheimer, 1.-THE elements
OF his strength are just the very issues up
on which we should go before the country
The governor is all sound on the fnancia
question. If he is nominated at st. Louis
the Republicans dare not agitate the issue
against him. He has always stood RICH
upon that record By such nomination
considerable thunder might be stolen from
his opponents. Then looms up the grea
: question of administrative reform. n,
one can deny but that the governor ha
assumed -1ost prominent position befor
the country upon this topic. In N.
opinion this will be the strongest feathe
in his cap. The people anxiOusiy avail
the man who will cut from the body politi
those ulcers of corruption and fraud whicl
have so disgraced the national administra
ton. The main cry now rings out, an
will continue to be heard until the close Q
the presidential contest, Reform an
honest men in Office. This has been Nh
\ Tilden's platform for years. He broke u
the monstrous Tweed ring and inaugu
rated the fights against the canal corruE
tionists. The people recolect those Sci
vices. His nomination at St. Louis woul
guarantee that the Democratic part

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
TAIN in the right side, under the
edge of theribs, increases on pres
sure sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient IS rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top OF
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally aconsiderable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickIy sensation of the skin his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several of the above syrnp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

Representing nothing Gods earth now,
And naught in the waters below it
As the pledge of nation that passed away,
Keep it dear friend and show it,
Show it to those who will lend an ear
To the tale this trile win tell;
OF liberty born of patriots dream,
OF a storm-crad1ed nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much of stranger to borrow;
We issued to-day our promise topay"
And hoped to redeenl ON the morrow.
The days rolled on, and weeks became years,
But our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was so scarce, the treasury quaked,
If dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in us was strong indeed /;
Though our poverty well we discerned,
And ttis little check represents to pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
They knew it had hardly value in gold,
Yet as gold our soldiers received it;
It gazed in our eyes with promise to pay,
And every true soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of price or pay,
Or bills that were over due
We knew it bought our bread to-day.
Twas the best our poor country could do,-
Keep il, it tells all our history over,
From the birth of the dream to its last;
Modest and born of the angel Hope
Like our hope of success, IT PASSED.
