Think on Both Sides.

We never expect to advocate a public proposition tho other side of which we will be ashamed for our readers to examine. We are oppos
 ed to the scaling of the State debt. We have reasons for assuming this position which we regard as at once logical and just. However, that our readers may see for themselves whether our position IS tenable, we issue the accompanying supplement this week. This supplement lays down the Adams Redfield doctrine of our stase debt settlement, with the ideas thereon of the State Fi- nance Board. Our people, we be- lieye, will see that the legislature can propose an amendment for rati
 fication by the PEOPLE, which will secure the payment of just such debts as the state owes, and the non payment of just such debts as the State does not owe. We belleve in meeting this issue squarely. The Adams Redfield plan does not do this. And we will stake our reputa- tion as a delineator of future events that the people of Carroll county will elect a man for representative next fall, who opposes scaling. - Carroll County Bowlder.

A Cure tor Diptheria.

A correspondent of Victoria pa per writes: "Should any of your family be attacked with the dipthe- ria don't be alarmed, as it is usually and speedily cured without doctor. When it was raging in England a few years ago, l accompanied Dr. Field on his rounds to witness the so-called Wonderful Cures he per formed while the patients of others were dropping off on all sides. The remedy to be so rapid must be sim pie. All he took with him was pow dered sulphur and quill, and with these he cured every patient without exception. He put teaspoontul of flour of Birthstone into a wine glass of water and stirred it with his fin ger instead oi spoon, as the sul, phur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the sulphur was we'll mixed he gave it as gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Birthstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast and plant in- very few min utcs. Instead of splitting out the gargle, he recommended the swal- lowing of it. In extreme cases in which he had been called just in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly closing to allow the garg- ling he blew the sulphate through a qnill into the throat, and, alter the fungus has shrunk to allow of it, then the garghng.
 "Ifthe patient cannot gargle, take a live coal, put it on shovel and sprinkle spoonful or two of flour of birthstone at time upon it; let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over it, and the fungus will die, If plentifully used the whole room may be filled almost to suffocation, and the patient can walk about in it, in. haling the fumes with the doors and windows closed. The mode of fumi- gating aroom with sulphur has often

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu- monia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recommend it to the poor dying consumptiye, at least to try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP can- not be too widely known, Ask your Druggist about it. Sample bottles to. try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For sale by J. M. Harkey & Bro.

have been fighting up their work let us put the knife to the roots But what then? Let the legislature after reducing their per diem, go <
 work and pass a law setting sssdt ten, twenty, or twenty five peyesent. if it can be spared, of our incomc as sinking fund, to accumulate until we get money enough to pay out But whosis to keep that moncy-the sinking fundp Can we not find 8 man honest eDsagh to receive that money anrzaay from the collectors of the different counties, and loan it out at s or 10 per cent. per annum upon mortgages of real estate, or undoubted security? This, for the time being, would be sort of a Bank Of Discount, and if we'll con ducted, would annually increase the fund, and when we got enough, we could say to our creditors: Here is the amount with interest) that you agreed to take through MT. Adams and Redfield; it is yours, if you will take it; if not, we will continue our bank.
 l know the unpopular part of this proposition is the disfranchisement of the non taxpayer, but the spirit of reform is upon me today, and l feel that to call halt and take q retrospective view of things passed, but not gone, and the effects of which are still upon us and will be for a iong time to come, would be the proper thing to do. We have had too much legislation of vicious character; the result of sending non- taxpayers to the legislature, and, in many cases, sending men to make laws to collect money of themselves. What else has prevented the collec- tion of the old Bank debts to this day? Many of the different legisla- lures had men, the most prominent in their body, whose lands were mortgaged to the state for money borrowed of tue Real Estate Bank. The debts became due and were not paid, and laws were passed to evade the payment, more than for the col lection of the debt. Had these leg islatures been composed of men who owed the Bank nothing, how differ ent would have been the result We would have owed no Bank debt now. A few laws, impartial in character and we'll administered, is all we need to pay off our debt in a short time.
 Don't understand me to be down upon the debtor, or the poorer class of.society. On the contrary, 1 sym pathize with them as much as any man, but I will not dead them into tempation," to avoid which l would put the salaries So low that that they would not be prize worth contend ing for, then we would have less ex- citement at our elections, and thus, the interest being taken away, it might be possible for us to make the ballot box our political altar in which to deposit an honest, true and patriotic vote.

-The Detroit Free Press is one o

The Detroit Free Press is one of the very few Northern papers having any considerable circulation in the South, or which desires and publishes Southern correspondence. There is hardly locality in the South where this paper is not taken, and where it has not secured warm friends, for the interest it has taken in Southern affairs. It has advocated all measures looking to the development of new industries, the establishment of permanent peace and friendship, and the election to office of representative men whose administrations must be prolific of peace and harmony.
 During the coming year the Free Press will publish articles from the pens of various State Governors in the South, letters from centers of business, and communication from those in po- sition to know the needs of their State and can suggest beneficial changes.
 We will send the DEMocRA AT and the Free Press for l year for $2.75.

Address of the Arkansas Immi-
 grafton SocIety.

l LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Nov. 19, 1877. At the last State Convention of the Arkansas Immigration Society, the following report of the finance committee was adopted: Mir. President, your committee to whom the matter of finance was re- ferred on last evening, beg leave to make the following report:
 To be at all successful with our So- ciety the financial part of our work needs our first and most earnest attention.
 We need small amount of money to pay incurred indebtedness. We need money to pay the rent of a central office and for current cx- penscs therein.
 We need money for printing such Information as needs to be sent forth to other States and localities. Therefore, that sum of money ought and must be raised to cover our expenses until such a time as the State through it's Legislature shall take proper acton upon the matter, we recommend that the fol lowing resolutions be passed by this Society and that each member be requested to urge in his locality and sphere, earnest work to secure the object of the said resolutions:
 Resolved, That the executive off cers of each county society be re- quested to enforce Article VI of the amended constitution and make remitlances promptly.
 Resolved, That all citizens of the State, or who are interested here Tn are invited to make such contri- buttons as in their power and make them at once by remittance, either through their county society or by such other mode as they may select.
 Resolved, That the railway com panies of the State; the several real estate agents, also the large bond holders and several interpretations, including towns and all other inter ests, are hereby invited to contribute and use their influence to augment our financial interests until we shall find ourselves in good working DO sition.
 Resolved, That what is done in this matter should be commenced at once, and all monies collected should be promptly remitted to the Treas urer.

AYERS PILLS have been known for
moro than q quarter of century, and
have obtained 4 world wide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
cased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are SO
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or

the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger.
GUS diseases that have baficd the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the Samc
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their apericnt action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inflamcd. They
reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any dcletcrious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
