THE GREAT REGULATOR SIMMONS LIVER
REGULATOR is the season of the
year above all others when the system is
liable to get out of order and severe and
dangerous bilious attacks frequently follow
The principal cause of nearly all sickness
at this time of the year has it's origin in a
disordered Liver, the largest organ in the
body, which if not Regulated in time, great
suffering, wretchedness and Death will en-
sue. A little precaution taken in time in
the shape of reliable and efficacious Liver
Regulator will in most cases prevent illness
and fatal consequences. No medicine in
modern times has gained a wider reputation
than Simmons Liver Regulator manufac-
tured by J. Ii. ZEILIN & Co. This Justly
celebrated medicine Regulates the Liver,
promotes digestion, and fortifies the sys-
tenn against malaral diseases.

HOPEFUL signs of reviving trade may be
noticed in various directions. Five ocean
steamers left New York lately with full car
goes of grain, metal, fruit, and produce for
Germany, France and England. With our
increasing exports and diminished imports
for the last few years. the commercial bal
ance is largely in our favor, and the flow of
specie is arrested. There is an encouraging
activity in cotton factories, and a decided i'm
proVement in the prices of mill stocks. The
boot and shoe business is better in Boston,
its great centre. Capital is plenty, and only
confidence is needed to insure its invest
ment. There are large deposits in all the
banks. The Bank of England asks only two
per cent, and on our streets money can be
had at four or five. With gold quoted at
1853, and the Presidential question in fair
process of adjustment, there is reason to look
for the gradual approach of prosperous times,
and steady return of specie payments.

From Geo. F. Hoar's Speech on the Electoral BIZ.
Not A Compromise.

Some gentlemen have spoken of this as a
compromise bill There is not drop of com.
promise in it. do not mean that, after it was
found that the principle of securing an able
and impartial tribunal conformed to the opin
ions and desires of all the committee, there was
not some yielding of individual views as to de-
tail, but how can that man be said to compro-
mise who, having just and righteous claim,
asserts it, maintains it, inforces it by argument
and proof, yield no jot or title of it before q
tribunal so constituted as to insure its decision
in accordance with justice and righteousness,
so far as the lot of humanity will admit? I
think justice and right are compromised when
they are submitted for their decision to force.
They are compromised when they can only be
maintained by doubtful, disputed exercises of
power. They never can be compromised when
they are permitted to stand before tribunal
clothed with judicial powers surrounded BY
judicial safeguards, invested with legal author
ity by the law making power of the country.
Let it not be said this reasoning implies that
truth and error stand on equality, that it makes
no difference whether matters be settled right
or wrong, provided only they be settled. It is
precisely because truth and error differ it is be-
cause of the vast difference between the right
eous result and its antagonist, that ne propose
to submit the differences between them, not to
force, not to heat and passion, but to that
tribunal which among all mechaHisms possible
to be executed by the law is least liable to be
diverted from the truth.

Mark Twain's EulOgy OF q Watch.

A jeweller in New Haven, Conn, has re-
markable watch made by foreign watch
maker, which Mark Twain describes as fol-
lows:
81 have examined the wonderful watch made
by NJ. Mate, and indeed it comes nearer to
being hnman being than any piece of mechan-
ism l ever saw before In fact, it knows con-
siderably more than the average voter It
knows the movements of the moon and keeps
exact record of them; it tells the day of the
week, the day of the month and the month of
the year, aud will do this perpetually; it tells
the hour Of the day and the minute and the
second, and even marks the division by stop
hands; having two stop bands, it can take
accurate care of two race horses that start, not
together, but one after the other; it is repeat
er, wherein the voter is suggested again, and
musicslly chimes the hour, the quarter, the
half. the three quarter hour. and also the min
utes that have passed of an uncom pleted
quarter hour-so that blind man can tell the
time of day by il to the exact minute.
Such is this extraordinary watch. 1t ciphers
to admiration; should think one could add
another wheel and make it read and write;
still another, and maze it talk; aud think
one might. take out several of the wheels that
are already in it and it would still be a more
intelligent citizen than some that help to gov
ern the country. On the whole think 1t Is

SINCE the decision of the Supreme Court
of Rhode Island in the matter of George FL.
Corliss, the Centennial Commissioner of that
State, and one of the successful candidates
for the Office of Presidential elector, much
attention has been drawn to the effect of the
ineligibility of person receiving a majority
of votes upon the election itself. The field
of jurisprudence has been carefully scanned
in all its extent from the time of the cee-
brated controversy between Wilkes and Lut-
trel, in the British Parliament, to the most
recent English and American decisions.
Hon. James t. Mitchell, in report of the
CorllsS case in the american Law Register"
has collected in ali appendix all the cases
bearing upon the points involved. Iu the
case in question the court decided rea-
sons set out at length in the opinion, and
which need not now be enumerated
the Office of Centennial Commissioner was
an Office of trust under the United States, and
a disqualification to the Office of eector.
But the most important point decided was
that the disqualification did not result in the
election of the candidate next in vote, but

The Democrats are constantly finding
mares nests" in the Louisiana returns.
But the misfortune is that nothing ever
comes from them. 1t is bad enough for one
to count his chickens before they are hatched;
but it is worse to count them without even
the basis OF Matching material. 1t is much
easier to show that the Louisiana Board re-
turned thousands of votes which might have
been legally withheld than that they withheld
single vote which should have legally been
returned. If Tilden is not declared elected
President it will not be because he has not
been allowed all the votes he was entitled to
in Louisiana.

THE testimony of Iittlefe,d be fora F;o,,

The testimony of Littlefeld be fore Fields
committee is pronounced wholly false in its
material points by members of the returning
board. 1t was perfectly apparent that the
whole examination was set up by Murphy
with the help of Llttlefield. On cross-exarn-
ination by Republicans Littlefield was obliged
to admit that he did not know of any other
change in any return. There is still gener-
al belief that those who stole this one mutila-
ted it. At the worst it has no connection
with the electoral vote and could not infiu-
ence it as it was, or as it was claimed to be
by the Democrats.

SUPPOSE the Republican candidate for
President, Governor Hayes, had been almost
directly caught in the act of trying to pur-
chase Democratic electoral vote, the proof
resting upon money furnished by his own
nephew, living under his own roof, one of
two things would certainly have happened.
The Democrats would either have branded
him as unworthy the confidence of a great
people, or the Republicans would have forced
him to retire from the field as disgrace 10

liable example to other nations. Had Hayes
or Tiiden been proclaimed President on the
day after the Presidential election, he would
have gone into the Office as a party man.
Now, the Chief Magistrate, whether Republic
can or Democrat, will be as different char
acter as If he had been born anew. Should
f ne happen to be Hayes, he will be perfectly

The Chicago coroner has ornamented his an
nual report with poetical extracts, and the doc
ument is altogether remarkable one. After
mentioning four suicides from love, he says:
'Let US pass from the contemplation of the
tragedy OF love to that of the poor fellow who
blew out what little brains he had on account
OF the tortures to which he was daily subjected
by-hs mother-in-law. Mothers-in-law have
always been great source of mischief to the
world. and alas the plague is SO universal and
enduring that we must despair of ever seeing it
overcome, The misery caused by mothers'in-
law is eternal, even as mothers in-law them
selves are i'm mortal"
