Republicans of Alexandria County.

At the last regular meeting of the Hayes
and Wheeler club of Alexandria county, held
at Arlington, the meeting was called to order
by James II. Stevens, esq, vie president, and,
after transacting routine business, the presi-
dent, Benz. Austin, introduced CaTSain John
c. Nichener, Of Pennsylvania, as a staunch
Republican, brave soldier, and one who had
suffered the to!ments of the internal regions
at ADdersonyille. Captain Michener made a
short speech comparing the two candidates,
and referred to the results that might be ex-
pected from the selection of either, which was
listened to with much interest. Mr.. Stephen
B. Wilbert being called on, referred to the
issues Of the cam paiCn as between the united
South and solid North, and said he believed
that it would be better for the Republican
party if in the coming election the entire
South went Democratic and the North and
West Republican; then we would elect the
Republican candidates, and show the ex-
rebels and Democrats that the North and
West could whip them with ballots as they
did with bullets, and also show them that
while the North was willing to be lenient to-
ward the South, they must behave themselves
and abide by the laws Of the land. Speeches
were also made by W. c. Wilbert, NJ. C..
Stevens, J. B. Syphax, N, NJ. CUstus, James
Henry Rcbi2con, Alex. Scott aud others. The
president stated that the Hon. j. c. O'Neal,
Republican candidate for Congress, and
prominent Republicans from other States
would lie present at the next meeting.

A I.ittle TIM Fast

favorite programme with the hotel dead
beat is to hand large sealed envelope, stuffed
with paper, to the clerk and ask him to take
care of those "three hundred dollars for few
days" The game has been played at one
hotel in this city, aud the clerks are on their
guard. A seedy- looking old man registered at
the house yesterday, and after dinner he
handed the day clerk an envelope marked
$780," and asked that it be put in the safe.
"You can't play that game on me, mister !"
replied the clerk, and he tore the package in
two. As he held up the ends his eyes began
to bulge out. He had torn eighteen new SO
bills in half, and he had insulted the owner.
One reason why he wasn't at his post the
balance of the afternoon was because he was
pasting those bills together.-Detroit Free

CustAr's Charpa.

Buffalo Bill, who is in Philadelphia, said to
a reporter Of the Press of that city: "Custer's
charge was not mad or ill-timed. Custer
charged when, had he been supported as he
ought to have been, he would have won a
glorious victory. He was not supported. Reno
stood inactive when only a ridge separated
him from Custer, when the latter was being
butchered. Reno is to blame, and told him
so. Benton wanted to go and support Custer,
but Reno ranked him, and he was powerless.
The command was not in the hands of the
proper men. They are too old, and lack the
dash and vim and vigor for such warfare"

such great benefit that cannot find words to eX-
press my unqualified appreciation OF its goodness.
While performing my duties Police officer in

VEGETINE, and never knew o z case where it did
not prove all that claimed for it, Particularly
in cases of debilitated impoverished state of the

VEGETINE can be used with injurious results, and
