Poisonous REPTILES AND INSECTS
considering the number and varie-
ty of poisonous reptiles and insects,
Astounding almost everywhere in tho
United States, it is not surprising
that cases of death resulting from
their bites are frequently recorded 10
the public press. But it does seem
strange that in this land of knowl-
edge, people should through igno-
rance give themselves up to die after
being bitten, when a cure can be
speedily effected in The worst cases
by the timely use of that simple rem.
edy, the Seven Seals or Golden Won.
der. The proprietors of the great
medicine have large number of bona
.fde certificates in their possession,
attesting the most wonderful cures Of
bites of venomous reptiles.
The Seven Seals has been found
equally .eficacious when applied to
bee sticgs, which as is we'll known
oftentimes prove fatal to Che sufferer.
Aches and pains Of every description,
whether accute or chronic, are almost
instantly relieved by the application
of the Seven Seals to the parts af-
fected. july limo.

Who is Running Hayes.

Our special correspondent at Wash.
ing writes us an interesting letter
about the "Fourtl," and its cclcbra-
ton at Washington, but that is stale
for US now. We suhioin, however,
current views aud opinions regarding
the men who are running Hayes, the
Republican, for President:
At a meeting held in Cincinnati
the other evening, among those invi-
ted to DC present were James a. Gar
field, of Ohio, and james l.. Negly,
of Pa, there VIC see two of the basest
kind of c"rrnpti0nists to the front
Garfield is i member of Congress.
In the last House he was Chairman Of
the Committee on appropriations,
and in tins position aided in every
way he could, every corrupt ring IN
plnmlering the Treasury. lie was
the plant tool of Boss Sheppard. He
was as clay or putty in the hands of
Mullett, he was the Attorney of the
District ring, and in addition t" all
he was as deep in the Credit Mohilier
business as old Cakes Ames himself.
The man Ncyly was in Congress !.
short time ago. lie is now under in
dictmcnt in this city for swin(ling the
Government. His career in Congress
was characterized by the most shame
less jobbery and corruption. What
hope is there from Il candidate whose
cause is advocated bv men of that
character? The situation is the same
all over the country. The corrupt
elements in the Republican party are
in the ascendcncy. and if Hayes is
elected, be will be elected through its
agency. His administration will be
corrupted by it, and six months after
he takes his seat in tie Executive
Chair, the country will be rs com-
plete!y in its hands as it is to-day.
If Mr.. Hayes were strong man: il
he possessed the courage and tenacity
of man like Ti'den, it would per
laps he different, but Hayes can make
no reform without quarrplling with
his party and throwing overheard the
men to whom he is indebted for his
nomination, and to whom. if elected,
he will be indebted for his election.
RepuhlicaniSm and reform are antag.
onistic elements, and it is sheer folly
to expect one as the product of the
other. II Hayes is made President OF
the United States, his administration
will be as corrupt as Grants.

A WARMING.
How Will ''Ruthy Birchard
Hays" Word That Letter?
n. y. SUN.

"The letter Of acceptance must
avoid approval or condemnation Of
Grants Administration, and ought to
be very briei.' Such was the iniunc.
ton which four Ohio Republican Con,
yrcssmcn sent by telegraph the other
day to Mr.. Hayes, the Cincinnati can
didatc for President. Why did they
think it necessary I" send this gratu-
itous warning to their nominee? They
certainty could not have been afraid
that he would attack or condemn
Grantism in his letter Of acceptance.
He has never at amy time said any
thing against it. lie has consistently
retraincd from expressing hi- ,lisap-
prevail Of any of its features. He
must have seen it's wastetuIness, it's
corrupttulncss, its rottenncss.s He
must have known that it has been
cngendcling widespread evils, and
that it would prove rninous to the
country If not brought t" an end.
But he has never raised his voice
against it, as patriot ought to have
done. lie has kept quiet rs Il mouse
about it. He doubtless knew that
any attack upon it would inju,c his
party standing, put him in opposition
to the party leaders, and upset his
prospects for political promotion.
W. repeat, then, that the telegraph
dispatch, was not sent to Mr.. Hayes
as a warning against introducing an
onslaught upon Grantism into his
letter Of acceptance.
The object Of it is clear enough to
those who understand the p,oclivi-
ties of the Cincinnati candidate. 1t
was to restrain him from procIaimin.
his approval ofGrantsm. The send l.
crs of the dispatch were aware of the
danger Of his doing that. He has Of.
ten done it. He would be likely to
feel the obi CATION to do it again on
this occasion. lie was nominated Ivy
the n.lI,erents Of Grant. He is sup
ported by the leaders of Gantism.
He stands in III, especial need of the
assistance of Grant himself VIVA,
more natural, then, considering his
antccc,lents, lis situation and his
character, than that he should seize
the opportunity Of once more indo,s-
ing Grantism ia his letter of accept
ance
Why did the dispatch sent to Lin,
by the Ohio Republican Congress
men urge him to "nvoid APPROVAL OF
GrantiSm Have these Congressmeu
themselves avoided approval Of it
Have they dealt with it lis honest and
trne men ought to have donee .,
have they not rather stood up rs
champions of the very thing wlIicI
now alarms them
Why arc ;hey alarmed abont Grant
ism in these election times? The,
are alarmed because they know thai
the people have been aroused to :
sense Of its cnormity and are deter
mined to put an end to it.
Mr.. Hayes, therefore, in getting NJ
his letter Of acceptance, must he care
full to heed the Injunction, and t.
"avoid approval or condemnation
of Grantism. 1t Is rather hard Of
him, no doubt; and if, in avoiding
approval, he should offend Grant AM
the rings Of Grantism, lie had bette
never have been put up as tho noun
nee of the Grant party.

TO the Breach Once More
REPRODUCED FROM OUR ISSUE OF OC
TOBER 10TH, 1875.

The contest IN Ohio was purely 10
cal, nothing national depended upon
its results, and no one should he dis.
conragcd thercat.
: The Republicans of that State were
as emphatic as the Democrats, in de-
nouncing Grants Southern policy,
and the people Of Louisiana should
90 on Will, renewed efforts to secure
their own liberty.
In Pennsylvania, the endcavors of
the Republicans to drag in the cur
rency issue aud make it a leading
feature Of the political contest, has
proven II signal failure. They will
be beaten upon the open question Of
the frauds, peculation and corrupt.
Utility of their party. Upon that
ground must they stand. We admit,
however, that the failure of the Gin
ciunnatti Euquirer's wild, visionary
scheme, which is Pendlcton's pet hob
by, will injure as to some extent,
but vii! not impair our certain sue
cess. -..
SAINT. J. Tillen, Of New York,
stands today as the living represent
alive of Democracy.
Hard money State rights ; no Fed.
erol interference. Honesty and INTEL
ligencc, are, alone, the passport to of:
fetal honors.
In Louisiana, our.contest is for the
reign Of liberty, virtue and civiliza.
ton, against corruption and barbarity.
Let us not loose sight of that. Stand
solidly together and our success is
assured. The radical leaders have in
vain tried to bring us out, in this State,
on these financial issues, with the
hope Of covering up their past wrongs
to us. They have failed, and must
stand upon past merits.
Have fOrtitude,
"Btave spirits are balsam to themselves:
There is noblcness of mind, that heals
Wound beyond slaves"
As our friends of tho press through.
out the country arc trying to claim
precedence in naming Governor S. j.
Tilden, of New York, as the nominee
of the Democracy for 1876, we think
t but proper to put in. our claims to
some of the honor at least. The
above is from our issue of October
10th, 1875, and speaks for itself.

A gentleman from the country in
forms us that some quasi Radicals are
endcavoring to create the impression
among the white people, that a ring
has been formed by leading Demo-
c.ats in this city to nominate and
elect men to Office, who will force the
people to pay the Judgment tax.
We haveonly to say, that such
report is false in every particular, and
the men who utter them are SANDER
Gus liars! afraid to face those they
secretly calumniate.
= The white citizens of this parish
can rest assured that the VINp1CA.
TOR was born of opposition to the
Judgment tax, the movement of 1874
was a successful engagement against
1.-THE tax was repuliated by the
people, and should any ring or clique
have been formed, we would have
been the first to cry out against it.
Every one that knows US, is aware
that we nre against tie payment Of
one cent Of the Judgment tax-every
Democratic judgment holder, and
they are but few in comparison, is
opposed to it, and what is more, the
Radicals are the very ones to gain
the most by it's payment.
The Judgment tax is a dead issue,
too dead to talk about. The ,rhite
Macs meetings oflo74 killed it, and it
cannot be dragged into this canvass
by any man, or set Of men.
At our Convention we will pro.
uounce our views upon it, and it will
be seen that these men who now
charge this upon our leading citizens
do so falsely.
Let some person to whom these
Radicals report these. things, ask his
authority make him face his
man, and we venture to say there
will be some tall swallowing of words.
We hear the name Of one of these
howlers, and can show that he is a
judgment creditor himself, was, but as
SOON as he "traded" his judgment off,
lie comes ont a full hetlged opponent
to Its payment. There is very little
virtue in such conduct as that, and
he will find so to his cost, before he
is through with it.
