The Infamous Louisiana Returning
Board.
The Rock Island Union says:

The Rock Island Union says:
Let what may be said TO the contrary, the Louisi.
returning board is composed Of honest and fear
less men.
1t is composed of dishonest men and
most infamous scoundrels, and the'report
of Republican committee of congress,
signed by VIM. A. Wheeler, Republican
candidate for vice president, shows this to
be true.
In 1879 the honest returns of the state
showed that John McEnery, Democratic
candidate for governor, received $3.50
votes and VIM. z. Kellogg 55,973. Tie
returning board ''doctored" the returns so
as to give Kellogg a majority, and Grant
kept him in Office by U. s. bayonets.
In 1874 the Democrats again carried the
state, but this same returning board again
kept them out Of the places to which they
were elected, and Phil Sheridan, by
Grants orders, dragged out Of the legisla-
ture enough Democratic members to leave
the Republicans in majority, and the
Wheeler committee were compelled by q
sense of justice, to unseat the tools Of Kel-
logg and restore the Democratic members
to their places. The Springfield, Mass,
Republican Hayes paper now says:
The report signed by W. A. Wheeler,
now Republican candidate for vice presi-
dent, as well as by George F. Hoar and
and W. P. Frye of Maine, says that this
returning board undoubtedly kept out of
power those who we're in the real majority,
electing those who were rightfully defeat
ed, and defeating those who were right
fully elected. With a prophetic sense
that does these gentlemen credit, they
forebode the time when electors gaining
their Office IN like manner shall turn the
scale in the election of president of the
United States. Singular turn of fortunes
wheel. that William A. Wheeler, by virtue
of his candor on that occasion, should be
nominated for the vice presidency, and
should now stand in danger of just such
dishonorable election?
1t is impossible,in view Of this testimony
Of men when they were candid, not to re-
gard with suspicion the action of the
Louisiana returning board to-day, the
same men who in 1874 illegally kept the
Democratic majority of the state from
power. The country revolted at the
cooked up returns in 1872, when the voice
of the state had no weight in the presiden-
tial contest; it will revolt from them still
more to-day, as giving the casting vote Of
the presidential contest.

MEDICAL
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There IS
generally considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation OF
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
lie can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been eX-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic
can be used, preparatory to, or after
taking Quinine. We would advise ali
who are afflicted with this disease to
give them A FAIR TRIAL.
For all Bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

DENCE.

HAMLET, Nov. 90, 1876.
The election is over, but not yet the ex-
element, and the intense feeling engen-
dered by a closely contested campaign will
scarcely subside until next February,
when the presidential issue comes up be-
fore congress for final arbitrament My
pen is inadequate to the task of portrayiDg
to you the deep feeling Of indignation
among those who voted for Samuel j.
Iilden, as they contemplate the possibility
OF being defrauded out of their achieve
ments in the election, by set of unprin-
cipled demagogues and thieYing carpet
baggers. So long as the rascally doings of
Pitt Kellogg and his followers are confined
in their effects to the state of Louisiana
alone, the balance Of the nation, while con-
demning, can at least look on with a
degree of unconcern, only hoping and
praying that sister commonwealth may
be speedily relieved from the heavy in
cubus that is weighing her down to de-
struction; but when the results of the
doings of this horde of political cut. Threats
affects the entire nation, it is high time
that something were done to put stop to
such high-handed revolutionary proceed
ings.
The time has arrived to cure the evils
of which the south has been complaining
ever since the war, if they are eyer to be
remedied. We, as nation, must main
tain our Republican form of government
right here where assailed in its most vital
part-that Of preserving the purity of the
ballot box-or we may as we'll concede at
once that our form of government is a
failure. Ii the little party of politicians
and carpet bagGing thieves that have been
keeping Louisiana IN a constant condition
OF brlgandage, suppressing everything
like civil or political liberty to the perpetu-
alton OF political banditti as bad as that
which disgraced Mexico in the past, are to
be allowed to sit in virtual judgment
upon the balance of the states comprising
the union, why then let us acknowledge
our incapacity for self government, turn
the machinery of government over to Gen.
Grant and his conferers, and settle our
selves down to the conviction that we are
unworthy OF the bright heritage bequeath

j. Madison Wells was governor of
Louisiana during the period of reconstruc-
ton. His public acts and private jobs
were equally scandaious. At one time it
was proposed to impeach him for having
defaulted TO the state of Louisiana in the
sum of SIS, 200 as tax collector for the
parish Of Rapides. He escaped impeach-
ment only to be removed from Office by
Gen. Sheridan, then in command of the
fifth military district. The grounds for
the removal were numberless acts OF dis
honesty and of usurpation.

Irish Success in the British Civil Service.

The London Tablet says of 100 sucoessFul
candidates just gazetted for places in the
Excise no less that 81 passed from Ireland,
while at least six of those who passed in Eng
land and Scotland are Irish by birth or BY
blood; while the places that the Irish obtained
are still more remarkable The fret of the
100 are Irish, nay, the first IL, save an English
man, who got the sixth plece while Of the first
33 no less than % hail from Ireland. Celtic
Munster heads the whole roll, the first three
names being Murphy, Ryan and Moore. OF the
100 successful candidates, 81 passed from Ire
land, 40 from England, and only from Scot
lang; while the due proportion for Ireland,
population considered, would be II; so that,
obtaining 54 places, she obtained moro than
three times her share. Deductions often drawn
from this success Of IriShmen are quite I'M
founded and illuBory. Tho Irish are universally
credited with remarkable talent and great in.

opportunities and their education are far, very
far behind those Of the English and the Scotch.
