Republican papers have been predicting
the results which would follow the election
of Tilden and Hendricks. The Louisville
CourierJ 0u,nal thus shows what would be
the dlreful results of the election of Hayes
and Wheeler.
If Hayes is elected the following results
will follow as matters of course:
First-Gen. Grant will be restored to the
command of the army, with the consent and
support of Sherman and Sheridan.
Second-Ano,her and more vigorous pol
icy of reconstruction, unsettling everything
in the South, will be entered upon.
Third-The president will surround him.

the most radical type, and the whole power
OF the Administration will be put forth to
cover up the corruptions of Grant two terms
Fourth-The school question will become
an issue IN American politics, supplemented
by terrible religious conflict.
Fifth--The finances will be tInkered in the
old way the credit of the Government be
squandered with the resources of the people

A party organ. grinder In this city says
'Tbe burden of the whole democratic argu
ment in the present presidential canvass is
Let us have u change; let US put out the men
in office and put in new set; any change
must be for.the BETTER" This is substantial
ly true bill. But what, on the other side, is
the burden Of the whole republican" argu
ment? Does it not consist in representations
that the election OF Mr.. l. yes will give TO
the country the change for which it unques,
tionably yearns? Does not every blower and
striker for Mr.. Hayes, on the platform and in
the press, realize and confess that if the cleo
ton of Mr. Hayes were not expected by all
his party, save officeholders, to he the begin
ming of change in the course and policy of
administration, the Cincinnati candidate
could not hope to get the electoral vote of a
single state, unless it be the state of black
ignorance called South Carolina?
The desire for change in the political adj
ministration is an all-pervading, abdominal
ing desire throughout the country To strike
FOR change merely for the sake of change,
and without any rational idea Of what it will
bring forth, or what 1t is desirable to bring
forth, is, of course, very stupid, and anything
but Creditabe to the general intelligence.
But the professional spoils patriots have, as
usual, managed to subordinate every sincere
public opinion and honest popular desire to
their purpose of spoil. getting They have, as
usual, foreclosed every view of the future
which gave even glimpse of anything be-
yond the ballot-box. But, though every avenue
of provision to what kind of change may
be obtained is carefully closed by the spoils-
patriots, the yearning for change remains,
and finds expression at the ballot,box. Un-
fortunately, this is about all that the ballot
boxing will express, whoever may be elected

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases onpres-
sure; sometimes the pain is inthe 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 isgeneraily considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with apain-
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
prickly sensation CT 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 fortitudc enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
edy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases

Extract from Judge Maguire's
address, on the Big Horn country,
delivered in Chicago recently
After speaking of and describing
the natural Wonders Of The Yellow
stone, the culture of fruit, farming,
ETC., Judge Mcguire said:
But / presume you are more es-
pecially interested in the mineral
wealth of these regions. 1 will tell
yoa frankly that my explorations
were not extended 10 iiarney's Peak
OF the Black Hills; but | am prepa-
red 10 give sou full information of
rich mineral regions north and west
of that locality. The Montanians gem
orally have but lille confidence in
the reported gold discoveries of Gen
eral Custer, and Mr.. Jenney, the
Government s~eGlogist; but they
know some OF the richest mines of
both gold and silver ever discovered
will be opened next spring and sum-
mel in the Big Horn mountains.
HOW DO THEY KNOW?
you will ask. They know by actual
prospects obtainei. On the head
waters of the Ciarke's Fork there are
silver leads of enormous extent, the
assays of ore from which run up into
the thousands per ton. l have been
ut these mines, handled the ore, and
know this to be no eXaggeration.
Equally rich and extensive mines of
silver have been found in the vicinity
of the mouth of the Big Horn and on
a northern tributary known as Six
tcen-miie Creek. And in the Big
Horn mountains, and on the upper
tributaries of the Tongue river, the
Rosebud and Pryor's Fork, there are
undoubtedly gold placer5 rich rs the
richest yet worked on the continent.
Montana miners have known this for
some years. Why have they not
opened these mines? is the next
question in order to he answered.
Let me giveyou Il little history which
has not yet become generally current.
Twenty thousand fierce and treach-
erous Sioux hold these regions,
thoughthe major part rightfully be-
long to1he Crows. 1t is impossible
for white men tonaintain themselves
there in small parties. A year ago

the full particulars of which, for rea-
sons of policy, were not made public;
but they were engaged in almost
daily battles from the time they set
out until they returned, and were I'M
able to make II permanent stand.
Then, last June, two other expedi-
tions-one by river and the other by
land, but cooperating with each
othcr-werc sent out to stay, and
they have been staying, and intend
to continue to stay, until those rich
regions are made TO unlock their hid
den wealth to the needy white men
of the nation, thousands of whom are
tonight in u hand-to-hand struggle
with poverty in Wrgreat cities. This
is a practical way of settling the
vexed controversy between relentless
capital and its horny-handed VIC
Tins. Those virgin valleys and gold
and silver-veined mountains have
been snatched at last from the grasp
Of the barbarian hy the brave piO-
neers of Montana, and the invitation
is now extended to honest poor men
everywhere to come in and share

them.
First, their friends, the Northern
