Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
: of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the eitsde; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and IS
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are Costive, sometimes alterna-
tive 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 a painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought 10 have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
biiity he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up tortltude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases

prove so disastrous to the country and the
party. For eight ballots it was pretty
even race, few scattering votes being
cast for X. NJ. johnson, James Buchanan,
John G. Calhoun, Levi Woodbury., and
Commodore Charles Stewart, neither
Cass or Van Buren, could hope to get two
thirds, and after three days of quarreling
the name of james X. Polk was offered as
a compromise. The ballot showed ia for
Cass, 104 for Van Buren,, "A for Polk,

There was a serious riot in Charleston.
South Carolina. on the day of the Presi-
dental election. The following dispatch,
in the Cincinnati Gazette on Saturday,
explains the nature of the trouble:
Senator Patterson, Of South Carolina,
who arrived in this city to-day, says that
the riot in Charleston was a very serious
affair, and that from thirty to fifty men
were wounded on both sides The riot
originated in an attack made by the
Democ ats upon white Republican, be
cause the latter, with some negroes, ven
tured to hurrah for Hayes. The colored
people had not interfered with the Dem
ocrats throughout the entire day, when
| the latter had been shouting for Tilden.
But on the reception of the first dispatch
that Hayes was possibly elected, the
Democrats commenced their fire. The
colored men, after shooting their small
arms, returned to their homes and oh
tanned guns. They formed a regular line
Of battle, fifteen hundred strong, and
drove the white line with their rifles,
who also formed battle line for two en-
tire blocks. The United States troops
got behind the rifle clubs, when the lat
| ter opened ranks and allowed the troops
to come between them and the ne
groes. The latter then ceased firing.
The whites made urgent appeals to the
troops for protection. Indeed, the white
Democrats requested that troops be sta.
toned at the polls in some of the coast
counties, which the Republicans in no
| instance did The only troops at the
polls in South Carolina were there at the
| request of the Democrats

Tilden's Majority in New York.

1t is fact to be carefully noted by all
intelligent persons that if Governor Til
den had been elected President, he would
have been placed in that exalted Office
by the votes of some ten Asse ably Dis
tricts in this city, where lives a popula-
tion of the most needy and most ignor
ant of any on this continent. His total
majority of say 10000 in this State was
given him by the lst, I'd, 4th, 9th, llth
and 18th wards of this city. In the lst,
I'd and Sd Districts, including the vilest
haunts of the Metropolis, his majority
over Hayes exceeded 10000; in the 4th,
5th and 9th il was about 5000, and so on
through such crowded quarters as Mack
erelville, the l7th Ward, and others ike
them, until over $4,000 was run up i'll tie
city. When the more intelligent aHC
prosperous quarters is taken, like the
9th, for instance, Tilden stands only
4, ,2O3 to 1920 for Hayes; and in the llth
Hayes has 4.370 to 1892 for his opponent
this district being inhabited by our
most intelligent citizens.
If our readeas will refer TO our last
census, they will see how these strong
Democratic wards stand in the most or
dinary school requirements. The I'd
Ward that vigorous out post of the
Democratic party, and Tweed's citadel
has 1852 inhabitants who cannot read or
write. The 4th Ward, another centre oi
Democracy, has 1882 illiterates the 9th,
the Five Points region, which Lay be
considered the strong hold of the Demo
Gratis, has 1862, and the 7th, a similar
quarter, 1862 who can neither read nor
write The 18th Ward contains 2, los OF
these intelligent residents, and the goth,
which has just polled so large a vote for
Mr. Tilden, has $685. of this valuable ma
terial for Democracy. On the other
hand, the smallest number of "illiter-
ates" are found in the 9th Ward, which
has always been the Republican ward.
The sixty thousand persons in New
York who can neither read nor write are
residents mainly of those wards which
gave Mr.. Tilden New York State, and
nearly conferred upon him the Presiden-
cy. More than this, these Districts con-
tain more criminal and disreputable per
sons who can read and write than any
similar region in America they have
more liquor shops, gambling rooms, and
resorts of crime than any equal space OF
ground in the world New York

THERE'S MANY A SLIP" ETC

i- The hungry hounds who have been
bowling around the Postoffice in this,
and other places, should remember one
thing. Suppose Tilden is elected, and
he should appoint some one of the forty
expectants, as Postmaster at Jackson.
How would that appointee get Mr.. Bald
ridge out. and himself in, until confirm
ed by the Senate? The Senate is, and
will remain, Republican. John Sher-
man will hold the confirmation of all
Ohio appointees in the hollow of his
hand. II Mr.. Baldridge, and all other
Government officers, will continue to
perform their duties honestly and faith
fully, treating men of all parties alike
will be the officers of the people, instead
OF party, they can rest easy.
During Andrew Johnsons administra-
tion, after he had turned traitor to his
party he undertook to coerce all Lin
coins appointees into his support, and
sent circulars to all of them. Among
others, he tried this upon the venerable
w. Ii. P. Denny, then Postmaster at
Circleville. Mr.. Denny scorned his cir
cular, and Andy undertook TO put him
out. He made, we believe, two or three
appointments, but the Senate rejected
them, and Mr.. Denny held the Office, we
believe, until he removed to Wilmington.
He boasted that he intended to run the
Circleville Postoffice just as long as he
pleased; and he did so.

FLORIDA.

During the last week we have heard
the name Of Florida mentioned at least
hundred times. Perhaps few of our
readers know much about this distant
State, which has come into such promi
nence since the Presidential election.
Florida is the most Southern State oI
: the Union, having a peninsula running
far southeast between the Atlantic ocean
and the Gulf Of Mexico. The State lies
between 25 and 81 degrees North lati
tude. A large portion of the South part
of the State is a swamp known as the
Everglades" The action of the Gull
Stream around the peninsula has cut of
numerous portions of the land, into
small islands, called THE Florida Keys .
The word Florida means Land OF
Flowers" For luxurious vegetation,
and variety and quality of fruits, Florida
is unsurpassed. Oranges, lemons, and
many of the more northern fruits, are
most abundant.
We exchange with the South Florida
Journal" published at Sanford, and
from that we learn that there was very
little frost last winter, and the winter be-
fore there was not single frost During
last summer, when the thermometer in
our cool and pleasant Office showed from
"a to 9S degrees, the South Florida Jour
nal recorded only about 90 at Sanford
Florida was discovered by Ponce de
Leon on Palm Sunday, April 4, 1912. 1t
was ceded by Spain to the United States
October "a, 1920 and was admitted into
the Union as State March 8. 1S45-the
last day of John Tyler's administration.
An ordinance of secession was passed
June 10, 1861, and the State was again
admitted into the Union in 1865.
The noted Florida war, to destroy the
Seminole Indians, continued from 1885
to ls42, and cost the nation $30,OOO,OOO,
and thousands of lives This war was,
like the late rebellion, waged in the in
terests of human bondage. Over a year
ago we spoke of this war, and the treach

ton and Washington.
The greatest length of Florida is 400 /
miles, and its greatest breadth 800 miles,
and it contains an area of 10000 square
miles. 1t has few railroads or telegraphs 4
hence the great length of time required
to get election returns.
The large Republican vote OF Florida
8 accounted for by the fact that the cen
JUS of 1860 showed a slave population of
II, 753, and free population of 1886.
