Bleeding at the Lungs.

Putnam, Conn, March 20, 1869.
Gentlemen-I avail myself of thi:
opportunity to saya word in behalf Of
Dr.. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHER
RY, which | have made use of in my
family for several years, and always
with the most beneficial results. Nv
wife being of delicate habits, has ALWAYS
been troubled with hard, dry, hacking
cough, whenever taking a little cold,
and has employed various specifics with
out obtaining any relief, until prevailed
upon to test the virtues of WIsTAR's
BALsAM, the effect of which has been
truly astonishing.
More than year since young man
belonging in this place was taken with
bleeding at the lungs, in connection with
a most severe cough, and was finally
given over to die by our best physicians,
and it was evident to all that Consump-
ton was claiming him as victim Learn
ing these facts, my wife sent him bot
tie of the Balsam, which he took, and.
in due time, to the great establishment of
his friends, was at his accustomed occu.
patton, snatched, as it were, from the
very jaws of death. In many other
cases we have administered the Balsam
to the consumptive, and always with the
best Of success These statements are
simple facts, which can be vouched for
at any time by calling on me at my
store. | remain, yours truly,
JOHN B. DARLING.

states of Missouri, North Carolina and

had chosen a disqualified presidential

The LOUISIANA OUTRAGEs-In the
vast history of mans inhumanity to
man." full as it is of the most diabolical
and the most various of villanies, there
is nothing to be found that is more hor-
rible than that which is contained in the
evidence that was given before the Re-
turning Board of Louisiana, by eolored
witnesses. 1t tells of something that
exceeds all that could be imagined of the
doings of fiends. A devil incarnate y
is thought to be a hard designation Of a
very bad man, but in Louisiana there
are legions of inearnate devils.
In one instance it was shown and
proved by colored woman that her hus
band and child were both murdered by
the "white liners because he was re.
publican, while she made her escape
Another colored woman had rope put
round her neck with threats to hang
her if she did not reveal the hiding place
of her husband Another instance was
that of shooting colored men in the legs
so as to terrify them into voting the
democratic ticket or not at all And SC

after listening to the recitals of atrocity

As the truth gradually comes out of
the brutal assaults and intimidations
practiced upon the black voters of the

the belief that the /" doubtful states +"
have honestly and fairly voted for Hayes
and that he ought and will be inaugural
ed as the next president of the United
States.

The president sent his annual message
to Congress last week, With the excep-
ton of his brief review of his eight
years administration, it deals almost en-
tirely with the plain business in the sew
eral departments Of the country, to the
surprise of some who thought he would
add to the excitement of the country in
relation to the unsettled state Of the
presidential election, wherein he has
shown wisdom and good sense. His
opening review is frank and terse and
we give it entire, as follows:
