No JUHY.-It is thought by our le--
gal friends at this place, that the iurv
TO be drawn for our next term of court
will not be legal, and, consequently
no cases requiring jury will be tried
1t seems that Mr.. Lesley, claiming to
be Jury Commissioner, prepared the
jury list and placed it in the box after
he had been removed from the Office
by Governor Hampton, and after his
successor had been appointed and
qualified. lhis,r the legal fraternity
snys will mako the jury illegal, and
there will DO no jury cases tried at
our March term of Court. ..

Used in nearly every locality in many

Settled beyond doubt-No one questions
the fact that more cases OF whites, suppress
sed and irregular menses and uterine OBJ
structions, of every kind, are being daily
cured, by Dr. J. Bradfeld's Female Regulat or,
than by all other remedies combined. Its
success in Georgia and other States is beyond
precedent in the annals Of phisc. Thousands
of certificates from women everywhere pour in
upon the proprietor. The attention of prom
inent medical mon is aroused in behalf of this
wonderful compound and the most SUCCESS
full practitioners use it, If women suffer here

sequently, the members of the returning
board were battered and praised by SEN
atOrs and representatives who visited
New orleans, and by other leading Re
publicans VINO helped to carry the con-
spiracy through. In q set speech. John
Sherman declared Wells to be the peer of
Of any member Of the senate, and his as.
soclates worthy OF all respect aud conf
dence. He spoke as the peculiar and
personal representative OF Hayes, with a
knowledge that he was to be rewarded
with the treasury department, after the
iniquity should be consummated.
Wells and Anderson at one time
threatened to make disclosures, while
held by the sergeant-at-arms. A panic
inme lately seized all the Republican
managers, and the silence of the two
was procured by means which form a
separa chapter in the history of this
transaction. John Sherman sent Tor
Anderson, and he was taken to the com
mittee room Of finance Of the senate. in
charge of one of the deputies Of the
sergeant-at-arms, against all the rules
observed In regard to imprisond wit

Ing IL, of course, only known to
Sherman aud Anderson. as it was entire
ly secret, with locked doors. But when
Anderson came out. he told the deputy
on his way back to the house: am to
be collector Of New Orleans" Sherman
is now secretary Of the treasury, and Cir
cumstances have changed since this In
cident occurred. The pledge which shut
the mouth of Anderson may not be
specifically performed, but he may ex-
pect to enjoy an adequate reward whether
he gets the collectorslip or not.
One OF the first and weightiest duties
OF the new house Of representatives will
be to set on foot a thorough investigation
of this affair.

| hear lone brook out OF breath,
Running away
To hide from all the prying eyes
OF garish day;
And 'mong the covert grass and weeds
singing its lay.
Yet, God's sweetsky beamed in It's face
As on II went.
Music, a. out OF sun aud wind,
To it IL lent.
Fragrance OF mountains and deep woods
Isin its scent,
And God. own flowers live on its banks
In glad content.
And thus, msthought, a woman life.
Unknown abroad,
May bless some still secluded spot,
Seen but of God.
With fountain pure OF holy thought
By angel stirred;
With fragrance Of celestial bloom
In deed and word,
And music Of the higher sphere

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
&C., and indeed all the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, or MAS
matte poisons.
This is n compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails To cure the severest cases Of Chills
and Fever and the coneomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in malari-
GUS districts demand. Its great superiority over
any other medicine yet discovered for the cure
of Intermittents Is, that it contains no quinine or
mineral and those who take it free from
danger Of quinism any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using ii rs before. 1t has
been extensively employed during the Last thirty
years In the treatment Of these distressing dis
orders, ant unvarying has been its Success
that ii has gained the reputation Of being infalli-
Bile. II can, be safely recommended as a sure
remedy and specific for the Fever and Ague Of
the West, and the Chills and Fever of the
South, which, once broken up by 1t, do not
return until the disease is again contracted.
The great variety Of disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such as Neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, GOut, Headache,
Blindness, TOothache, Earache, Ca.
Affections, Mysteries, Pain in the Bow
els, Collie, Paralysis, and arrangement OF
the Stomach, all of which become intermittent
or periodical, have no speedier remedy IMAM
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
preventive. it. is Of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails,
ms stays the development Of the disease II taken
on the first approach Of the premonitory symp-
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled TO defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer If they avail themselves Of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from
torpidiy, 1t is an excellent remedy; II stimulates
this organ into healthy activity, and produces
many remarkable cures where other medicines
fall.
