Dissension i'm the Cabinet-COnRressisna
Proceedings Church Party Advocate
War with the United States.

HAVANA, Nov. 2O.-The steamship City of
Vera Cruz from Vera Cruz. brings adVices from
the City of Mexico to the 18th. The differences
among the members of the cabinet resulted in
ministerial changes Gen. Mauriel Gonzales is
to be Secretary of War, and Senior Seamocoyia
remains in the country as Secretary Of Foreign
Relations
Divisions have also arisen in Congress. The
friends of Senior Villarta proposed resolution
in the Senate approving his Diplomatic course
on the American question. 1t was voted down.
Personal feeling and ambitions govern all
questions in Congress. Fears are entertained
that the perfidious couise of Vilarts will force
war upon the United States. The law passed
in the Senate prohibiting the election of Pres
ident to second term is expected to pass the
House. Congress continues to show deadly
hostility to the English company owning the
Vera Cruz railway.
The President has signed the concession of
Sullivan Palmer for a railway from Tuxpan
to the Pacific coast The concession is consid-
cred unim portsnt, there being no capital to back
those who obtained it.
Gen. Trevno is about to leave the capital
with 1900 men for the Rio Grande. Trsvino
will then have 1000 regular troops. All the
state troops have been ordered to d,sband and
suggestion has been made that the Mexican and
United States governments com ine their forces
on the frontier to drive out the Lepan Indians,
who are considered the whole cause of the bor-
der difficulties.
The clerical journals are very violent against
Diaz. The church party urges war with the
United States A journal called Bondens Ma
clonal, oenounces the Americans as the ene-
mics of God

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20.-Frank Rande, the MUIR
derer, is pronounced out of danger and will
bear removal by Friday or Saturday. The
guard at the hospital was increased last nj !. ht
in consequence OF some talk on the street of
lynchiug him, but so far no indication of such
thing is contemplated. 1t is said, however,
that threats of stopping the train on which he
will be taken from here and fkilling him have
been made by citizans of st. Elmo, but nothing
definite is known about the matter.
There have been series of burglares COM
mitted in this vicinity lately, which have caus-
ed considerable excitement. Sunday last the
house of James S. Brown, living in Eureka,
seAeral miles west of this city, was robbed of
box containing $4,000 in pr0missory notes and
certificates for $500 of government bonds on de-
posit in the Safe Deposit Company. On the
same day safe in the office of the keeper of
the National Cemetery at Jefferson Barracks
was broken open and robbed of about 5000 in
money, $500 In government certificates and
number of notes.

Reasons Why ALI Should Use the
ReactiOnary Health Lift.

1t makes strong appeals to the common sense
every man woman in every walk Of life. II
furnishes an exercise which may aud should be in
troduced into every house; which may be practiced
at ali seasons in all kinds Of weather, by persons Of
both sexes. all ages, and degrees OF strength or
weakness, alone or in company. No one eau say too
much in praise of it, and no one can afford to do
without it. All who investigate thoroughly, use it,
and consider it invaluable and indispensable It is
the SAFEST simplest, cheapest aud most efficient
medicine ever discovered No claim is set up tor IL
which is unscientifc or impractieable.
General-It Is the best of rest. 1t is perfectly
safe. No harm ever came from its use. II strains
to the affected parts. By its the health is easily
maintained The purchase of ReactIonary Litter
is the hest kind of economy. The convenience of
having one in the house is very great.
Mind and Brain - 1t invigorates and
strengthens the brain, and renders il more active
and efficient in all its operations.
sieep.-It IS the simplest and safest narcotic. 1t
is the most natural and probably the best means Of
inducing sound and refreshing sleep. q
Nerves.-It is a wonderful tonic to the whole
nervous system. 1t is most efficaeiOus remedy in
paralysis, if taken in time.
L1mgs. Throat and Voice.-It gives special
expansion and greater mobility to the chest: en-
larges the lungs; increases the volume of respira
ton and brings the voice more fully under control
AS preventive and cure OF lung diseases it has no
equal.
Exercise-It is the most perfect exercise for man
woman, furnishing the best form of physical
culture and deyeopement in the safest, easiest.
most thorough and expeditions manner. 1t is
better than the gymnasium, and free from its
dangers; cheaper than the saddle; less laborious
than boating. and infinitely better than drugs in
majority of chronic diseases. 1t rounds and hardens
the muscles, and educates them into ever ready
faithful and efficient servants of the will.

Obstrucsing Nature.

Instead Of aiding her in her efforts to recuperate Is
obviously not the way to get well when one is sick.

baneful indictments rather tend to retard

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The relentless perse-
cution of Republicans in South Carolina, not
wthstanding the assurances given BY Wade
Hampton in March last that there should be no
criminal prosecutions of Republican officials.
Is DOW explained. There are upwards of two
thousand South Carolina Democrats under in
dictment for Ku-Kluxing or for participation in
the Hamburg riots, and the proceedings against
them remain suspended ready for revival at any
term of the United States Court Having m an

be passed by the Legislature of South Carolina
which convenes on the 2S of this month, Gov
ering the cases of all state, county and munich
pal officers from July l, 1868, to May !, 1877,
inclusive, upon the passage of which act the
President is to extend amnesty to all persons
charged with crime in South Carolina under
the Ku-Klux act. This plan meets the approx

VIII not agree to any such arrangement, but will
let the law take its course.
