A Scrap Of Record.

The Jackson (Miss) Clarion re-
minds its readers that in 1875, when
Sheridan was dragooning the Louisi-
ana Legislature, and assisting to or
gauize it under the control of the
Radical kDaves, whose villainy has
since been brought to light, Gov. Til
den, of New York, had the courage
to send a special message to the New
York Legislature, denouncing these
violent proceedings as they deserve to
be. Gov. Tilden's message closes
with these solemn and impressive
words:
New York, first of the Common
wealths of the American Union in
population. in resources and in militia
ry power, should declare her senti-
ments on this occasion with distinct
ness, a dignity and a solemn emphasis
which will command the thoughtful
attention of Congress, of her sister
States, and of the people of our whole
country. With the same unanimity
with which she upheld the arm of the
Union in the past conflict, she should
nOoo address herself to the great and
most sacred dutyof re-estd6lishing ciUil
liberty and the personal rights Of re-
storing the ideas and habits of freedom
and of redssertiny the supremacy Of the
ciUu authority OUer the military pOlUer
throughout tie republic.

CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND Sick HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is inthe 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 a 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 apain-
full 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 lie complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although lie 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
edy. 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 derangeC

THE one thing that the election of
q Democratic president would insure
would be peace at the South. By peace
we mean entire obliteration of section
alism, the assurance to that people
that they are part and parcel of the

can pursue plans and develop means
leading to permanent prosperity with
out the dread of a South Carolina gov
eminent being installed to waste the

The Democrats have surprised the
country by selecting their strongest
man to head the ticket. This unex-
pected action will materially affect
political calculations, and make the
campaign more exciting and the con-
test closer than it would have been if
4 compromise ticket with negative
rather than positive qualities had been
put forth. The fact cannot be ques-
toned that Gov. Tilden is the most
conspicuous man in the Democratic
party to-day, and the only one whose
name carries with it the prestige of

be equally as promising as it was at

opinion of well-informed persons that
not more than fourth of crop of to-
