A Gard 10 the Public.

For many years we have made
two medicines suited to the ailments
Of a vast class OF sufferers. Thous-
ands of cures have been made by
them, and, in fact, the word failure
could not be coupled with them.
But within the last two years coun-
terielts of our medicides have sprung
up, dangerous in their close imitation
of our Trade Mark TO secure the
people we have placed upon each
genuine box of Holloway's Ointment
the fac smile of the signature of our
agent, Mr.. Jos. Haydock. To coun-
terfeit is felony. We shall relent-
lessly pursue any one who initiates
this with the utmost vigor OF the
law. We most earnestly beg that
the great mass of the American peo-
pie will aid us in our efforts to pro-
tect their health, and help us in our
task OF bringing these most unprin-
cipIed men to the bar of justice.
Uniformly refuse to purchase Medi-
cines purporting to be ours unless
Mr.. Jos. Haydock's signature is at
tached to each box of Pills or pot of
Ointment, and the end will soon be
reached.

tom SCOTS ARMY.

Tom Scott, President of The Penn
sylvania Central / abroad c mpa-
ny. recently said in the North
American Review that, for the
protection of railroad proper.
~, troops "should be so disposed
at prominent points that their move
ment can he combined rapidly, and
they he directed against points of
danger so rs to he able 10 act eff C..
lively aud with decision before vio-
lence can become triumphant"
The prominent points on the line
Of Mr.. SCOTS road from New York
to Chicago are niue in number: Jer.
sey City, Trenton. Philadelphia.
Harrisburg. Altoona, P,trsburg,
Mansfiel1. Fort Wayne and Chica-
go. Tue smallest number Of men
which would suffice at any point for
the purpose in question would be
500, and at least 1000 would be
needed at the five most important
points. Allowing. therefore, an av-
erage OF 800 men to each of the
nine posts mentioned, gives us a
total of 1900 men necessary to pro.
tect this line IF railroad alone. The
New York Central. the Erie, and
the Baltimore end Ohio roads, with
their Chicago connections. would
each take as many if not more, so
that the grand total of the forces
which Mr.. Mr.. Scott proposes to
raise and support for the defense of
the four grea: trunk lines between
New York and Chicago would be
28,80O. Should the system be ex-
tended to the lines west of Chicago
and their lateral feeders, 1t is a
uOtlcSl cStIuuto W TcChOu uDou
81 200 more. or $4,000 altogether,
and at the usual rate of 81 900 for
each man, this would entail an ex-
pense upon the country of $50, 000,-
900 annually, or considerably more
than half the net earnings of the
railroads sought to be protected.
Col. Scott may possibly be an
able railroad manager, but he is
clearly no statesman, or he never
would have proposed to the Ameri-
can people to ra Sc standing army
of SO, 900 men, and main ain it at an
annual expense of $50 600. 900. in
order to enable him with greater
security to reduce the wages OF his
employees.

For Governor, Alexander H. Rice,
Lieutenant Governor, Horatio G..
Knight; Secretary of State, Henry
B. PierceI Attorney General, Charles
Endicott; Auditor, Julius L. Clarke.
Among the resolutions adopted was
the following: We hail with un-
speakable pleasure every sigl of
promise of final and permanent
pacification Of the Southern section
of our country, under local self gov
eminent, based upon full recogni-
ton of equal rights of all by all, and
cordially approve the spirit and
measures of the administration, as
wisely adapted to hasten this result,
as directed by just sense OF corsti-
tutional right and duty, and as tend
ing to promote spirit of peace and
Cancellation between citizens of Sec
tons, and as already largely justified
by the bettered feeling and condition
of the country.

AFFAIRS In FRANCE.

President MacMahon has issued
q manifesto to the French people
asking them to vote for the govern
ment candidates for the Assembly,
and intimation is given that he wi
make trouble if his wishes are ne
complied with. The Bonapartist and
clerical papers applaud the manifesto
as . declaration that be will not sur
render. The Republican papers treat
it in very serious tone. La France
says: "This is the language OF a man
ifesto of Napoleon, countersigued by
Persigny. None of Europe's present
constitutional sovereigns have the ex-
orbitant presumption to enforce their
will on the people and forbid them
to take different view." LIE Temps
says: "Frahce is called to new and
supreme struggle for the mainten-
ance of her liberty"
In July, 1880, the Moniteur, the
official organ, said: "The King will
not yield; he is the strong and jeal-
Gus King, and bis resolution is i'm
movable. 1t remains, therefore, for
the electors to act 50 that the nlajori-
ty in the Chamber may not be such
as to compel the King, for the &C.
complishment of his resolution, to
use strong measures, strong in pro-
portion to the violence Of the attack"
On the I'd of August following King
Charles X. was forced to abdicate.
The official organ of President
MacMahon, since the dissolution of
the Assembly. said: "The Marshal
being resolved to remain until 1880,
it is necessary to have a Chamber in
accordance with him; first, because
wise people do not like to vote for
no purpose or to lose their time, and
they will do this in naming Cham
Der hostile to Marshal Mcmahon.
What will be the use of this Cham
ber2 None whatever. If it declared
war against the Marshal it would be
dissolved again." We hope the issue
will prove now as in the case of
Charles x.
1t it said decree will be issued
to-day fixing the date OF the elections
on the 14th of October.
