The Chicago Tribune expresses the
opinion that ''ln the elections of 1876,
1T will not be- sufficient tor the Republic
cans To eject Hayes and Wheeler; they
must see 10 il that they regain the con-
troll of the house Of representatives
The Tribune gives the political status of
the present house. as compared with the
previous congress. showing the number
OF representatives the Republicans must
elect TO regain what they lost in ls,2.
The Tribune Stimulates much cheerfulness
in regard TO the recovery in Illinois
The entire combined majority claimed
by the three Democrats who represent
the Chicago districts II says does not ex-
coed 100 votes. These three districts
can readily be recovered by majorities
ranging from 1900 10 1000 in each dis
'triet. The seventh and tenth districts now
represented by so-ealled independents
will without doubt elect Republicans.
In the Thirteenth district, a Republican
will displace MIR. Stevenson, who, elected
'as an Independent. has ayowed himself
a Democrat. In the Seventeenth distric,
Mr.. Morrison will have acGmpetitOr who
can hardly be defeated; and in the
Eighteenth and Nineteenth districts.

Republicans ought now 10 be elected.
The mex, delegation from Illinois should
stand fourteen Republicans TO i've Dem

wrong II hs calculations and that the
November elections will show this. The
Chicago districts will remain very much

Mr.. Stevenson stands improved chance,

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. '.-Returns
from various points OF the State indi-
cate sweeping Democratic victory.
Houston's majority tor governor will
not be less than 20.00O, and will probably
90 much higher. The Democrats have
made gains in every part of the state that
has been heard from, and will have a
large majority in the legislature.
MONTGOMERY, Aug. 1.-Returns show
Democratic gains everywhere. Enough
have been received 10 warrant the state
ment that the Democratic majority will
be thirty thousand, Many counties here
totore Republican send Democrats TO the
legislature, and the majority will be very
large. The vote by congressional dis
iricts show seven OF them Democratic
and one Republican. As lar a. heard
from there has not been disturbance Of
any kind in the state. The utmost good

Philadelphia, the largest manufacture

heavy advertisement, hence she raised
SS,000,000 for enthusiasm, of which she
paid part.
Portions of Europe and perhaps OF
Asia have learned that Philadelphia

knowledge is not unimportant. Eng

tries desired to display certain products
that they hoped to sell in this mar

expositions in Paris and Vienna in the

display, that in which the different coun-
tries try by means of maps. charts, text
books, school apparatus and furniture,
to show what they are doing in the in
struction of the young; and the displays

LIVER PILLS,
FOR TIE CURE or
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
i edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the 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 a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied with pain
ful sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. a Slight, dry cough is some.
times an attendant. The patient
complains WEAKNESS and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of
priCkly sensation Of 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 fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem
cdy. Several Of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex.
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
