symptoms of Diseased Liver.
nAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases onpres-
sure sometimes the painis inthe left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top OF
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss Of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part
Thereisgencra,ly considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied ithaPain-
full sensation Of having left updone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains OF WEAKNESS ana deDlLity;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of
pricklv sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrustS every rem

Matters Of Importance to viek=-
burg.

In yesterdays HERALD we stirred up,
just lit he numerous committee.
which hav Zen appointed by the citi-
zens' mee!iry aud the Cotton Exchange
to look after certain matters OF vital
importance to the we'll ll.being of our
city, hoping that by re.sgitsting those
matters We could bring them again into
prominence. and arouse this communl.
ty TO some life aud activity, Undoubt-
edly something must be done 10 render
this part of town attractive, and all
the projects committed 10 the charge
Of the committees have that object In
view. The most important OF all is
that pertaining TO the proposed plan for
re.establishing a water front By bring
ing the YaZ0o river into the head OF
the lake, and the following committee,
viz: Messrs. J. F. Baum, Chairman
DR.. j. N. Hunt, Geo NJ. Klein, S.
Spenglar, II. B. Bru'er, A. D. Mating.
ly, and L. BAer, have done their whole
duty in the premises, so far, and will
shortly submit thorough aud ex-
haustive report Of their labors. Mr..
Geo. NJ. Klein advanced - 800 for the
purpose Of making the survey, which
Mr.. Dabney IL now prosecuting indus
tIiously, while the committee can
vsssel tie city aud soon secured the
amount b. subscription that Mr.. Klein
had advanced, thus making that gen.
tleman safe. The committee also urged,
through the columns Of the HERALD,
the necessity of securing the Delta
point from further caving, and made
other suggestions, all Of which fell still
bora upon the public. But this com.
miitee viii! soon speak for themselves
through an elaborate aHl complete
report, based on Mr.. Dabney : surveys.
II Is time, however, that The commit.
lees on tn: Southern Pacific railroad,
on the office, Post.oifice, on
Dredge Boats Tor Yazoo and Sun1ower
Riyer', etc, should be taking some &C.
tive steps in regard to their respective
subjects. Congress meets next Mon.
day, and petitions praying the attention
Of the National Government 70 all
these matters should be circulated,
thousands o! signatures obtained, aud
the petition, forwarded 10 our Repre-
sentatives without delay, BY getting
them in early at the extra session, they
will be referred and come up in their
order among the first committee reports
at the regular session, II no; sooner.
We trust that there will be no more
dilly.dall!iug with these important
matters.

The Cause OfIG.

TIE ST.. Louis Globe Democrat, the
leading Radical paper @! the West,
thus accounts for the Radical defeat In
Ohio on Tuesday:
"a Democratic victory iu a Republi.
can State can be interpreted only as a
rebuke TO the mistaken policy OF Re-
publican Administration. A policy
which commenced by ignoring repre-.
sentative Republicans in the selection
of a Cabinet, and which proceeded,
step by step, in the diiectiou Of party
oblteration until i, "o'er leaped itself
and landed on the other side,' could
expect no other reward than that which
It received yesterday. We are not dis
appointed, however much we may be
chagrined, at the figures which come
to u. They tell story which has
been familiar 10 observing men from
the beginning-that every important
act Of the President has tended 10
weaken the Republican party and to
strengthen the Democratic party. His
Aatterers have had such complete pos.
session Of him that they have not al
lowed him 10 see his mistakes or to
correct them, aud this Is the first op-
portunity he has had to hear the real
voice of the people. Republlcanism is
Iot defeated in Ohio; but the Presi.
dents efforts to paralyze the party
which elected him have produced their
expected fruit"
Hayes did It of course according to
the stalwarts. We are pleased that
they think 90, because as long as they
are being beaten and don't know what
is the cause Of It, Democratic victories
will continue. As long as they are so
blind that they cannot zee that the
Democratic principles are more popu-
lar than the Radical, and that the Dem.
ocrals defeated them, We have little to
fear, and the split In the Republican
party will grow wider and deeper.
Pennsylvania will follow Ohio, and
then tho Republican party will b. in a
comatose condition and so remain I'm.
less the Democratic party reviveS it by
some williul blunder.

a STORY AND ALEssoS FROM DELAwAR

STORY AND ALEssoS FROM DELAWARE.
Rev. William Aikman in the Christian
Union.
We'll, we'll have them hogged, any.
wayp That was the exclamation made
by late Chief Justice Gilpin, of Della.
ware, with a word or two Of emphasis
that he was unfortunately now and
then in the habit of using when espe.
cially excited. The occasion was this:
A band of three or four noted burglars
aud bank robbers had come into
Wilmington, and just al evening had
entered the house of the cashier of the
Bank OF Delaware while he was seated
with his family at supper. AT the
muzze Of pistols they seized and secur.
ed the family, threatening their lives
II they moved or made au outcry. They
were about 10 complete the work
by having part Of their number pass,
by communicating door, into the
bank, when they observed a coored
servant, who had concealed lerself un.
der q table, rushing out of the door.
They endeavored TO seize her but were
too late. In a moment or two she was
on the street and giving the alarm.
There was nothing left for them but tO
make their own escape. This they did,
but were in few hours captured and
lodged In the city Jail.
AS Is usual In that tile State, the
course Of justice was not delayed.
Their trial come Gu rapidly aud their
conviction followed surely. They were
sentenced TO long terms of lmprison.
ment TO be preceded by the receipt of a
certain number of lashes on the bare
back at the hands of the sheriff.
These villains we're not of the coarse
sort. They were well educated, genteel,
handsomely dressed, and neatly.jeweled
scoundrels, with plenty OF money at
their disposal, aud influential friends
to help them. They were not greatly
appalled, at the long term OF imprison-
ment; they knew well that few prisons
would be strong enough 10 hold them.
But the fogging that had been ordered
was simply and unutterably dreadful.
That must be avoided at all hazards.
The tactics usual on such occasions
were resorted to, and their able law.
yers at once made the necessary ar.
rangement for stay OF proceedings
The prosecuting attorney, an old res
ident of Wilmington, got wind Of it
and hastily went to Judge Gilpin's
house and informed him Of the state Of
the case. They both saw at q glance
what was intended-the avoidance of
the 6ogging. The usual day for the
inaiction OF this punishment is Friday
or Saturday. 1t was now Tuesday
and before the regulation day bad
come the stay of proceedings would
have been obtained. The Judge-we
have his small form, his keen eye and
forceful face before US now-exclaim-
ed, "Well we'Il have them 1ogged any
way; have that par; of the programme
carried out tomorrow
And It was. On Wednesday these
smooth-hanted, high-bred Villains had
their white backs barred TO the sun,
their lately,jewelei hands manacled 10
the whippiDg.post, and In company
with lesser criminals were hogged as
the Judge said they should be hogged.
Now mark the sequel. In less than
three months-we are not sure but It
was weeks-a Steam.tug With Q COM

The Democratic party Of Mississippi,
grateful for the success Of its past efforts
In the cause OF reform and OF just and
honest government, and invoking the
blessings of Heaven on Its future en-
deayors In the same cause, does adopt and
proclaim the following platform Of prin.
clples:
Fidelity 10 the Constitution OF the
United States,
Home rule, and the preservation Of the
state Governments, with all their reserved
and guaranteed rights unimpaired,
No interference by the military power
with the freedom ol elections, and with
the civil and pOlitlca. rights OF citizens Of
the United States.
The protection oil the equal rights ol all
classes.
No discrimination on account Of race,
color or previous condition Of servitude, or
birthplace, and no special legislation for
the benefit Of the iew at the expense OF
the many.
A strict adherence in tie selection OF pub.
lie agents, 10 the time.hOnOred Jefers0nian

nt ~ AuG W TUT NVh1tAAAtAphs
A continuation Of the policy OF retrench.
ment and reform so slgnally lnaugurated
by the Democratic party.
Reduction OF the burthens Of taxation to
the lowest point compatible with an ell.
cient execution OF the laws.
Corporations Of every description super
yisable within Constitutional limits by
state authority, and subordinate to State
legislation, In the interest and Tor the pro-
lection OF the people
AS the perpetulty Of free government
depends uppn the virtue and intelligence
OF the people, we pledge ourselves TO the
maintenance Of our State system Of free
schools,
we favor the granting OF such aid as
may be extended without violation OF the
Constitution OF the United States, or de-
partlng from the established usages OF the
Government, to the Texas Pacific Rail-
road, and for the rebuilding and keeping
In repair OF the levees OF the Mississippi
river.
That upon this platform OF principles
and of public policy we invite the cooper
alton OF all citizens without regard to
past differences, in support Of the candi'
dates nominated By this Convention.
Resolved, That unity and harmony are
essential TO victory; that all independent
movements are dangerous to the integrity
Of party organization; that all tndepenu'
ent candidates are inspired solely by a
lust for office that they shall he treateu
as common enemies to the welfare Ot tue
people, and aYowed enemies OF the Demo-
cratic party OF the State OF Mississippi.
