injuring II competitor in business
whose prosperity they envy, and with
whose business sagaeity they have
not the talent to successfully compete

are suggested hy the mean. eoward

medicines, hv those who Imagine their
pecuniary prospects injured hy the
great popularity with my standard
medicines have acquired, and the
continued growth Of my professional
practice. Narrow-minded practition-
ers which do not possess sufficient
merit TO successfully y compete for popu-
lar favor, have resortad to such
cowardly strategy - to publish all
sorts Of ridiculous reports about the
composition of my medicines.

THE popular health Almanac j. the
! high sounding name Of one Of these
publications. which contains bogus
receipts, without grain Of tTuth ia
them. Nor less devoid of tra.h are
those which have hcea published by
one Dr. l.. of Detroit, in the .Hchigan
Fu3Wcr. and by other manufacturers
of medicines, in several ao-cai,oi
journals of Pharmacy. They are all
prompted by jealousy and utterly fail
in accomplishing the object oi their
author, for Notwithstanding their

continue 10 sell more largely than any
others manufactured in this country
and are constantly increasing in sale
despite the base lies concDctei aud

people find that these medicines
POSSESS genuine merit, accomplish
what their manufacturer claims for
them, and are not the vile, poisonous
nostrums which jealous narrow-mind-
ed physicians and sneaking compor J.
ders of competing medicines represent
them to be. Among the large number
of pretended analyses published, il j. a
significant fact that no two have been
at all alike-conelusiyely proving the
dishonesty of their authors. 1t is
enough for people to know that whiIe

millions, have taken my medicine

In Congress, as will readily he be-
complishel since our last. TO keep
the rampagcous Democratic warriors
of the House anywhere within bounds,
committee of safety was appointed
By party caucus whose duty il is TO
choke off members who could not
otherwise be restrained from attempt
ing the impeachment of President
Grant, and making radical asses Of
themselves in various ways. The
committees have gone South, and we
shall soon hear from the Democratic
portion of them according 10 pro-
gramine. \ move to appoint House
committee To act with one from the
Senate in trying to fix upon some
measure for having the Electoral votes
counted and declared by some tribu-
nal whose authority cannot be pues-
toned and whose decision all will
accept as final, j. under consideration.
This look. statesmanlike, but the
heated DcnOcrac, will probably defeat
1t. The Rcformers squirmcd terribly
over the report of southern Democratic
atrocities made by Senator Sherman
and Others and sent to The House by
the President, and have not vet con-
sentel 10 allow il the usual courtesy of
being printed. \ resolution calls OH
the President for information a. TO
why troops We're sent south before
election; and the President promises
to give them more reasons than will
be creditablc 10 their southern breth-
ren.
The Senate has attracted more public
attention during the week than the
House. On the sth the President
ruled the joint rules upon which so
much has been said to depend to be
not in force, and on appeal was si,s-
tained by al! Senators voting except
four. As Speaker Randall has decid-
ed them to be in force in the House,
o'' A. SaNtaiiNa tiitFtIh ~ aIiIio-t iiie
entire Democratic membership, this
betrays curious difference Of opinion
between Democratic Senators and
Representatives. The Oregon case
was fully ventilated in the Senate,
and committee appointed to look the
matter up, who are likely TO call Gov.
Grover to Washington to explain why
he violated the plain law Of the land.
Senator Edmond's amendment to the
throwing the canvass Of
electoral votes into the Supreme Court,
progresses bat alowly.

In a party caucus of Democratic
Representative in Congress, modera
ton and calmnes5 was urged upon
northern men by the delegation from
as spokesman said that, "lf the people
of this country were not capable set
ting the disputed Presidential ques-
ton without violence they were not
fit tn have Il President, and ought to
be governed by u hereditary monarch.
He had confidence ia the wisdom Of
the people, and felt sure that they
would not sustain any movement
likely to ieopardize public tranquility.
If the representatives Of the people
here in Washington could not settle
amicably the present difficulty, they
stituents a chance 10 pat wiser men in
their places Such sentiments deserve
the highest commendation and we
hope that future developments will
relieve Us Of the feeling that they are
inspired by polite motives alone.
The southern men are well aware of
the bad odor in which they were
placed by their ultra and reasonable
utteranccs during las; winters amnes-
~ debates: and they also know that
extreme measures coming f.om the
South would he sure to unity the
North. There are indications that
while the southern delegates take this
position in public, in private they
urge different action upon the north
ern wing of the party-hoping thus to
divide the north effectuaIly before
they show their own hand Thus
when New Ysrk representative pre-
sented i'm caucus resolution looking
to the impeachment of the President,
and the South quickly came UP TO op-
pose it, he turned upon Mr.. Henry
Watterson, of Kentucky, at the close
of that gentleman's plea for ruodcra-
ton and conciliation, and made him
fWa'tcr-onl admit that he hal pri-
vatels requested him Wood ~ Y. Y.

Gov. Chamberlain was inaugurated
to succeed himself as Governor Of
South Carolina on the 7th inst. Since
then the Republican House has been
reinforced until it now contains 66
voting members, an undoubted quo
rum. On Tuesday District Attorney
Corbin was elected L. s. Senator, and
the House passed bill legislating
Chief Justice Moses out of Office on
account Of his violating the constitu-
ton by holding two offices of trust and
profit at the same time. His successor
is 10 be elected Friday. The soon
tempt of court business did not prove
Democratic success. L. :. Circuit
Judge Bond discharged the members
of the State Contrasting Board from
custody, declaring that the Supreme
Court exceeded its legal jurisdiction.
All is reported quiet at Columbia, and
excitement subsiding.

The Republicans are Taking
Theirs Now.

When We prepared the matter for
these columns last weel, We only knew
that bare majority of Republican
electors had been chosen by the people
and also knew that no plan would
be left untried either to prevent some
one or more Of them from voting or to
induce then TO bctray their trust.
But on Wednesday of last week the
electoral colleges met at the capital of
each State and cast their yotcs-lsj
out OF the whole So thus cast being
for Hayes and Wheeler.
The long suspense may now b. -aid
to be over. I'ac seaici packages con-
tanning the electoral vote of the
several States have Vet ouly to be
opened by the President of the Senate
and the result officially proclaimed.
That such action will not place be-
yond controversy the election of Hayes
and Wheeler. and he succeeded in due
form and order by their Inauguration,
there l. no room t. doubt.
OF course the - nearly 1ucce--fuI

.he keeping the country in a great a
fever as the politicians are capable of
creating. But we have TOO much faith
IN the good sense OF this great people
not to believe that the conflict will
end in the legislative halls and courts;
and that once the final declaration
having been made, acquiescence, if
not complete satisfaction, viii replace
anger and anxiety and everybody be
glad Of the change.

Gen. sherman, in his annual report
of the operations of the United States
Army during the past year, makes
brief mention OF the distribution of
troops in the Southern States a. a
measure Of necessity for the protection
Of the weak against the heated preju-
dices OF the strong, and claims for the
officers and soldiers that they have
acted with such admirable discretion
and fairness a 10 win the approval of
all parties. That this is true will not
now be denied bv those who were the
loudest in Genunciation of military in

TO afford protection and insure peace
