POLICEMA ~

have not enjoyed good health for several years
past, yet have not allowed it to interfere with my la
Dor. Every one belonging to the laboring class
knows the inconvenience of being obliged to labor
when the body from debility, almost refuses to per-
form its daily task never believer in dosing
with medicines; but having heard the VEGETINE
spoken Of SO highly, was determined to try it, and
(Which every one needs at same time) it surpasses
everything ever heard Of 1t invigorates the whole
system; it is great cleanser and purifier of the
blood. There are many of my acquaintances who
have taken it, and all unite in praise OF its satsfac-
tory effect.
Especially among the aged class of people, it i'm
parts to them the thing most needfu in old age
nights of calm, sweet repose thereby Strengthening
the mind as well as the body. One aged lady, who
has been suffering through life from scrofula and
has become blind through its Effects having tried
many remedies with no favorable result, wasinduced
by friends to try the VEGETINE. After taking few
bottles she obtained such great relief that She ex

to look upon the man who had sent her such bles-

Doctors of Constitutional Law,

1t is doubtful if the BrahmiDs look upon
Chunder Sen as fit exponent of the Vedas.
Few churchmen will accept DR.. Pusey's in
depreciation of the Thirty-nine Articles. No
man would care to read Benedict Arnold
exegesis of the Declaration of Independence.
This hesitancy is no reproach to the knowledge
OF these men. The apostate Brahmin may
have made special study of the sacred books
OF the Hindus. The old Oxford Doctor may
have searched deeper into the meaning of the
creed held by the Church of England than
have his fellows. The American traitor may
have been capable of keen analysis of our
declaration of rights. But the men who Sc
cede from a faith, religious or political, are
not, in the public opinion OF the world, its
fittest exponents ,and their appearance as its
Interpreters is looked upon as great effron
terry. Nor if they return to the faith is it in
taste to put them Immediately in the fore.
front of its defenders. Certainly they, back
siders as they have been, are not justified in
impeaching the sincerity or the doctrinal
soundness of men who have held fast to the
faith.
Similarly it strikes people as not only bad
taste but effrontery for the men who fought
with sword and tongue for the heresy of seces-
sion, who spent their blood on the battle
field or their vigor in debate in an attempt
to shatter the Union and overthrow the Con-
stitution, to appear in the halls Of Congress
to which they are admitted by the grace of
the loyal North and set themselves up as
doctors Of constitutional law, as the only
capable expounders of the Constitution, as
the one political sect which holds to the true
doctrines of that instrument and the inter-
pretations of the Fathers, as only the Gu
dees in all Europe held to primitive Chris
tianity. And when these men, ex-Confed-
crate lsenators and ex-Confederate generals,
rise in the seats which they hold through the
clemency of a government they sought to
destroy and presume to tell the North that it
does not understand the Constitution, that it
has repeatedly disregarded and over-ridden
thatcharter of our liberties, that the only ref
uge of true doctrine is in the South, and that
Ben Hill, Alfred Waddell, and Beverly Tucker
are its expounders, it is time that protest
should be entered and rebuke administered.
Whatever may be the comparative merits Of
strict construction and loose construction,
of state rights and nationalism, and what
ever the weight and soundness of the argu-
ments advanced by these gentlemen in gray,
the Northern people object to their appear
ance as teachers. We are not yet prepared to
look upon Ben Hill as our political CANA
lel, to sit at his feet and drink in his exposi-
tions of constitutional law.

r. II. STEVENS, ESQ.
Dear Sir-I have heard from very many sources of
the great success of VEGETINE in cases of Scrotula
Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh, and other
diseases OF kindred nature. make no hesitation in
saying that knolU VEGETINE to be the most reliable
remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many
years. and at times very badly. She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that we could hear Of
and with all this she has for several years been grad
ualy growing worse and the discharge from the head
was excessive and very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETNE; 1 could see that she was improving
on the second bottle. She continued taking the VEG
ETINE until she had used from twelve to fifteen bot
ties. am now happy in informing you and the pub
lie Gf you choose to make it public that she is en-
tirely cured, and VEGETINE accomplished the cure
after nothing else would. Hence feel justified in
saying that VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy,
and would advise all suffering humanity to try it. for
believe it to be ood, honest vegetable medicine,
and shall not hesitate to recommend it. am, &C.,
respectfully, L. @. CARDELL,
Store 451 Broadway.
VEGETINE acts directly upon the causes of these
complaints 1t invigorates and strengthens the whole

The disafections In the republican ranks
In New York between the Conkling and
anti Con king wings are fairly Offset by the
distrust and dissension between the Kelly
and anti Kelly wings OF the democracy. It
II stated on the one hand that Mr.. Tildens
friends distrust John Kelly, and the Tam
many general committee; that they fear that
Kelly Will sacrifice the Presidential ticket to
the local ticket; that he will sell votes for
Hayes for votes for Smith Ely & Co; and
that II Kelly, himself, is above doing this
dishonorable thing his followers will do IL.
On the other hand IL Is asserted that the
Tammany men believe that they are to be
sacrificed by the friends OF Mr.. Tilden; that
the latter propose to use the independent
movement In behalf OF Comptroller Green
10 defeat Smith Ely, and the Tammany
county ticket, and at the same time To pre-
vent any loss TO the Presidential ticket by
detection from the regular democratic or.
ganization. There is also rumor that
Kelly Is to be deposed from the Tammany
Dictatorship, but as there Is no immediate
election for that position in the Tammany
order IL Is not easy to see how that Is to be
effected.
Meantime overtures have been made to
the republicans by the Independent Gill
xen's party, the anti-Tammany party, and
other organizations to join In q coalition of
all the elements OF opposition to the Tam
many county ticket The republican lead
ers are undecided how 20 act In the premises
and have adjourned their county convention
until next Tuesday evening TO consider the
matter. 1t is a question with them whether
anti Tammany and the rest, after getting
their uepublicanl votes for the anti-Tam-
many county ticket, will not ego back On
them on the state and national ticket and
whether IL will not really serve to draw out
an increased Tilden vote by bringing all the
disaf1ected anti Tammany democrats to the
polls, where they will very likely vote
for Tildsn and Hendricks while voting
against Tammany for the local Offices. The
New York Post thinks that II bet ween now
and Tuesday the rumor OF a breach in the
democratic party shall be confirmed, 1t is not
improbable that the republicans will take
the chances Of running ~ Q straight repub-
lican county ticket between the opposing
forces OF Tammany and anti Tammany; but
that paper adds suggestively that IL they do
so 'it is not improbable that they will mis-
calculate the chances"

''Little Johnny Davenport" as he is deri-
sively called in New York, graduated under
General Butler when the latter commanded
the army Of the James. Though but mere
STRIPPING at the time, he was provost mar
shall OF the army referred TO, and In that
capacity evinced executive ability which
would have done credit 10 q much older OFF,
Ger. The republicans now look TO "little
Johnny" as their main hope In preventing
frauds In New York on election day. While
1T the republican national headquarters In
that city, yesterday, he said that his eight
hundred assistants were busily engaged In
the work OF revising the registry lists, and
would be prepared to check AL illegal voting.
As q rule, little Johnny knows what he is
talking about, and II Is possible that he and
his force may be able, In great measure, to
prevent the Wholesale frauds at the ballot
box which have SO long disgTaced New York
city. Already, IL Is reported in the New
York Euenin9 Post, no less than 300 illegal
registrations have been discovered In Brook
Ign alone 1t will require the utmost vigi-
lance and the promplest action to prevent
illegal voting, and IL would seem to be the
duty OF all good citizens, irrespective of
party, TO aid the proper authorities TO the
end that fair election may be had.

Governor Hayes beat Governor TIlden at
Philadelphia, If not by a large majority by
at least a respectable one. The attendance
on New York day was lis iss, and yester lay
(Ohio day. II was rs, 26s, or $50 more. 1t
may further be stated that on New York
day the attendance was largely swelled by
the national gathering of Odd Fellows then

be said that the average attendance during

IL was last month. which fact may account
