HELMBoLD's BUcHU. = Helmbold' S
Buchu has long been known as one Of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As diuretic, it is supe
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton, and the diligence used 10 the selection
of the crude material, have made il known
far and wide as o reliable and effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which are made cheapIy and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration- Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm
holds only.

The determination that President HA1Es
md Vico-President WHEELER shall take the
oath of office today is eminently wise and
patriotic The term Of President GRANT ex-
pires and the term of President HAYES be-
gins to-day, notwithstanding it is Sunday,
and the situation is of nature TINT renders
anr interregnum or irregu1arity hazardous
There is nothing in the Constitution or laws
which makes Sunday IN exception in the
discharge Of public duty, and it is President
HA1Es' public duty to be inaugurated into
Ills Office to-day There would be an i,n-
propriety in any ostentatious displny on
d@t generally set aside for religious OBJ
scrvence, md on that account it is proper to
postpone until tomorrow the formal and
public inaugural ceremonies; but we think
there aEe few people so intolerant as to
characterize as improper the taking Of
solemn oath today to administer tue Gov
ernmcnt faithfully according to the Constitu-
hcn and laws. There could scarcely be a
more scored duty, and it is case where it
1nay be truly said: The better The dsy the

| There is much that is encouraging and in
structive in the comments of the London
newspapers OIL the accession of 1ir. HAYES to
the Presidency. AL agree that the title
which lie has acquired to the Office is now
undisputed. and congratulate the country
upon escaping threatened anarchy. The
Standard thinks such result is worth all
the sacrifice OF party interest that was neces-
sary to bring it about The Daily Neacs
thinks that if the desperadoes had prevailed
the reaction would have been r1linous to the
Democratic party, and Of this there is no
doubt among the intelligent men of this
country. It also predicts that the
South will be better off in many
respects under HAYES than it would have
been under T11pES. The Tnmx, which
always plays the role Of Doubling Thomas"
in American politics, and has decided
prediction for the "outs," is fearful that
President HAYES will not develop the
strength Of character necessary to tho
reforms to which he and the Republican
party ere pledged. In this the Times is
likely to discover its error. But there is one
sentence in its article well worth perusing,
VIZ: "Refor1n means renewed life for the
Republican party, and rapid progress for
the United States; obstructiveuess means
the fatal opposites of these gains"

To-day closes. the Presidential career Of
ULYSSES s. GRANT. As a whole, his admins
tration Of the Government during the past
eight years has been acceptable to the coun-
t1y at large, if not, as he admits, satisfactory
to himself. Comparatively stranger to
politics, almost entirely unyersed in gov
ernmental usages and the mysteries of state
craft, he has pursued tile even tenor
OF lis way, stumbling less4 often than
might have been expected under the
circumstances. Taking into consideration
the exhausted condition of the country
at the time of his entrance upon his ofice,
and the momentous questions which have
presented themselves for solution, his fnan-
cial record has, while presenting some weak
points, been upon the whole of character
that will bear inspection and honest criti-
cism. The retiring President will carry with
him into private life the respect and good
wishes Of the people

The cheapest man in the whole political
business is DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, of New
York. He went to the House of Represent
atives after the Presidential election to boss
the whole job of forcing TnDEs's election.
He had himself put on the Investigating
Committee; was made iobiector, ard was the
chief of the obstructionists. Finally, all
else falling, he proposed his bill giving to
defeated candidates for the Presidency the
fight to sue for the Office in the courts.
When he introduced this bill be made one of
lis usual harangues, and in all the House, out
Of 296 members, 100 of them being Demo
Gratis, his bill got 66 votes.-just about the
actual number of the more intense flibus-
ters.. The rest of the Democratic party had
shaken linn of, and let him fall to the
ground heavily. His Congressional record,
brief as it is, will be found to fittingty CORE
spond with that of his professional career.
He Leaves the House to-day, it is to be hoped
forever
, 1877-03-04

The Democratic minority Of the Ohio
Legislature, taking advantage Of the absence
Of the Republican majority, have passed q
resolution to the effect that they regret the
election Of Gov. HAYES, because it destroyed
their "faith in the mercy, justice, and
beneicent goodness Of Almighty GoD. !"
This ees ard! But isn't it little i1reverent
to adopt q resolution which By inference
commits the Supreme Being to the CRoS1S
fraud, the Ohio and Indiana ballot-box stuff
ing, the bulldozing in Louisiana, and the
Thousand aud one other instances OF Demo-
cratic fraud and corruption? If there is any
thing 81 the putrid renainiscence" needs, it
is clear knowledge of Cop. We submit
that, if the Democracy Will only wait and
have faith like grain Of 1nustard~seed, they
will be much more likely to obtain that
knowledge under HAYES than they would
have been if TnDES had been elected.
Nevertheless, if the election Of Mr. HAYES
has in any manner tended to disturb their
faith IN Cop, We are sorry for it, for no party
ever needed His help more.
