THE MARKETS.

A TINE HoNoRED SPEcIFIC.-The long and
successful career of DIR. Wishart's Pine Tree
Tar Cordial, as contrasted with the speedy
collapse of nostrums devoid of efficacy
which have from time to time been puffed
into brief notoriety during the twenty odd
years that this celebrated medicine has been
sold, affords a proof that the American
continues to repose its confidence in de-
serving articles only. The Pine Tree Tar
Cordial has long been recognized as the
leading specific for Consumption, Bronchi-
tbs, Coughs, Coulds, Asthma, Diptheria, and
all other diseases of the breathing organs
1t is, moreover, a certain, speedy, and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Diser-
ders, Scrofulous Affections, Urinary TrOu-
bles, Gravel, Dropsy, Debility, Constipation,
and Female Complaints. Constantly ac-
cumulating evidence of an unimpeaehable
character establishes the fact that it not
only entirely eradicates the diseases to
which it is adapted, but also that its action
is remarkably prompt and thorough. The
crucial test of experience has demonstrated
its reliability in every particular. Sold by
all druggists. Principal Depot, No 9l6 Fill

Political Notes.

The SITUATION -Lousiana.-The counting
is still going on. The proceedings are not
at any time secret. Even in executive
session." the FIVE Democrats and FIVE Re-
publicans, selected for the purpose, remain
present. Everything said is taken down
by an official shorthand reported and pub
lished daily in the newspapers. 1t is in
tended to conclude this week.
FLorida.-Al the returns being now in
the Canvassing Board met on Monday.
Before organizing, protest signed by Mr..
Pearce, one of the Republican Electors, in
behalf of himself and associates, was sub
mitted, against Attorney General Cooke,
Democrat, acting as a canvasser, on the
grounds that in dispatch sent North he
had preiudged the result Of the returns on
which he is to pass judgment But DR..
Cowgirl and Mr.. McLin thought the General
ought to act and it was so agreed. A reso-
luton was then adopted to admit as specta
tsrs to witness the canvass, five persons
from each party represented here from the
North, the parties to select their own men,
and that six tickets of admission be given
to each of the Chairmsn of the Republican
and Democratic Committees of the State,
to be issued by them to such persons as
they choose. The Secretary of States Office,
IN WHICH Lne law requires Lue CAAfaSS w w
made, is small, and will not accommodate
more than the number thus provided for
South Cdrolina.-The main interest now
centres in this State, where the new Legis
lature meets to-day. There is great excite
ment at Columbia, the Capital. The U. S
troops have possession of the State House
and have refused admission to the EdgefielC
and Laurens delegations, the ones to whom
the Board of Canvass refused to give certifi
Gates, on account of the invalid election il
those counties. The Supreme Court of the
State, on Saturday, entered judgment 0
$500 fine and imprisonment against eacl
member of the Board of Canvassers for con
tempt, and they were committed to tn
Columbia Jail, in pursuance of the judg
mont. The canvassers however have bsel
released from Jail by order of the United
States Court. Their case will come up 70
hearing to-day. Wade Hampton, Sena
tor Gordon, and others protest to Ger
Grant against putting the troops under tn
orders of Gov. Chamberlain. Trouble
feared in Columbia to-day. 1t is reporte
that the rifle clubs intend to capture tn
State House.

LoUIsIAxA.-"Louisian must have gone
Democratic" it is asserted "any other re-
turn is prima .facie proof of fraud" This
is a dangerous assertion, for it is calculated
to inspire ignorant men to resist the decis-
ion of the only body which has the legal
power to settle the dispute. 1t is an asser-
ton contrary to established facts which we
have already set forth. The census of 1870
showed 86,913 colored males over q years
of age and S7,076 whites, while, as the same
census proves, 1876 male adults were not
citizens, and nearly all of them were whites
natives of France and other countries,
who had refused to be naturalized. More
over, we have quoted the language of the
New Orleans Picays1ae, an extreme Demo
cratic paper which states that "for six years
there has been a steady influx of negroes"
and "as steady an emigration of white peo-
pie to Texas and other localities free from
the curse of Radicalism. Negroes have
been converging upon Louisiana, and whites
have been radiating from it." Thus the
State census of 1875 showed a colored pop
ulation exceeding the white by $4,000. In
disputably there was a colored majority of
nearly $1,000 voters in 1870, and it is both
notorious and admitted that the change
since that time had been an increase oi
colored and a decrease of white voters
Why should it be presumed that Louisiana
"must have" gone Democratic?-N J.

1t seems to be a bad case of the "devil
and the deep sea" with the Springfield
Republican, for that journal says: "The
whole question of the next Presidency has
now become involved in embarrassments
and complications. If Tilden finally goes
into the White House. he goes in under the
cloud of having owed his election to intim-
idation: if Hayes goes in, he goes in, ac-
cording to all present appearances, under
the still heavier cloud of owing his election
to that recently patented and most danger
GUS eontrivance for figuring out majority
for candidate without regard to the bal
lots. So far as the moral question is con-
cerned, we have no tears to shed for the
Democrats if they loose the Presidency
they have not deserved to win it; our only
doubt is whether the Republican party and
the country can afford to try the hazardous
experiment, for the first time in our history
Of electing President not by a majority oi
the votes actually cast, but by a majority oi
votes which the party in power holds ought
, to have been cast"

DR.. Townsend's Oxygenat-
ed Air will purify the blood
in one third the time that
any other known remedy
can. Why? because to in
hale Oxygenated Air it
goes direct to the Lungs
and passes through the
tissues and comes in direct
contact with the blood as
it is forced into the Lungs
by the action of the heart.
All the blood in our veins
returns to the heart every
four minutes if the blood
is good, and forced from
the heart to the lungs. and
the more Oxygen you in
hale into the lungs the
more you purify the blood.
When Oxygen comes in
contact with the impuri-
ties in the blood it carbO-
nizes and burns, causing
the blood to be heated so
that it warns every part
of the body, as it goes on
Its revolutions through the
system. If your blood is
pure you cannot be sick.
We drive Mercury and all
other impurities out of the
blood. We guarantee to
purify the blood in one
+ third the time of any other
known remedy.

The Louisiana Republicans profess entire
confidence in the convincing nature of the
evidences of intimidation which they
have prepared for US before the Returning
Board. The New Orleans Republican says of
it: .The evidence of fraud and intimida-
ton perpstrated by the democracy in the
hope of ssizing the government of Louisiana
is being rapidly put into shape by the Re-
publicans for use before the Returning
Board. 1t is most convincing and conclu-
sivs in its character, and will not only justify
to the nation the reversal Of the manufac-
tursd msiorities of the Democratic COM
mittee, but create demand for the punish
msnt of these crimes against American citi-
zenship which must not again be permitted
to 20 unhseded by.

Judge Trumbull has the rare good sense
to see that nothing can be gained for his
party by denouncing the Louisiana Return
ing Board before il has manifested disposi-
ton to act unfairly. He says in private
letter to his son: "I do not myself despair
of reasonable fair count in this State. We
shall have it il we carry Florida, and even
if the Presidency hangs on the result here,
do not see how, without committing such
palpable injustice and wrong as will take
from the decision all weight before the
country, the Returning Board, even II SO dis
posed, can commit any great iniquity in
the presence of the committees. Even
blind Democrat ought to be able to see the
wisdom of talk ike this.

Great Snakes.

A Den of SerpeDts in Kansas
Great SIaughteroft the Reptiles.
From the concordia (Kan.) Enterprise
On the I'd ult. toward evening,
son Of Mr.. A. Thompson, who
lives about eight and half miles
from town southward, was pass
ing over a hill on the farm of Mr..
Gibbs Myers. q nefghbor, In quest
of his fathers cattle, when he ac-
cidentally lysteppe6 into asmall hole,
and, drawing his leg out quickly,
drew from it several serpents.
The sight frightened the lad, and
he ran home with all speed and
reported his experience. He
soon returned, however, with an,
other lad, and found the hilltop
was the home of a community of
crawling reptiles, and before they
left the spot had dispatched forty.
six. .tf 3.'ttVifft n
Day after day this work went
on, until last Sunday the dead
snakes were picked up and coun,
ted and placed in pile near the
mouth of the den. The number
of l,77G was counted! and still
the work of killing goes on from
day to day. We went to the
place on Monday, accompanied
by L. II. Smyth, and the astound.
ing sight of near 1000 snakes in
one pile met our gaze, with live
ones still in apparently undimin-
ished numbers upon the hill.
We killed fifteen in as many min
utes, and had enough, while two
little lads were all the time at
work. And the work of killing
has Leen going on ever Stree, un-
til now we hear that 5000 have
been dispatched, and there are
hundreds, perhaps thousands, left!
The snakes are Of the species
called the blue racer, with a
sprinkling OF adders, and vary in
size from the thickness of a mans
finger to that Of his wrist, and in
length from q foot to four or five
feet. They run with remarkable
speed, and at first were cowatdIy,
endeavoringto escape and not much
to show fight. They are
now, however, Becoming vicious,
and show fight, and at times get
startlingly aggressive.
