All Diseases of the Blood.

If Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different nhysi-
clans, many remedies, suffering for years, is
it not conclusive proof II you are a sufferer,
you can be cured? Why Is this medicine per-
forming suck great cures? 1t works in the

source of disease originates in the blood, and
no medicine that does not act directly upon IL,

VEGETINE

The great success of vegetine in curing such
diseases as Scrofula, inherited in the
blood, together with the increasing demand
of the medicine, is conclusive evidence OF its
actual merit. No medicine was ever placed
before the public with much positive proof
of its real value as the Negetine, which has
cured many cases OF Scrofula of five, ten and
twenty years standing, where the patient has
had many physicians, tried many of the
known remedies, and, after trying the Vege-
tine, the common remark is, at acts differ
emily, works differently from any medicine /
have ever taken" Vegetine will cleanse
ScrOfula from the system. Try Ii.

the Nichols sympathizers. For. II the
action OF the Returning Board is to settle
the question as to which is the legally
constituted Legislature, has not that ac-
tion already settled the question that Pack
ard is the legally elected Governor /?
Moreover, did not a Legislature having
the much desired Returning Board quo

Packard's Title.
From the New York Independ

From the New York Independent.
There is no lodging the conclusion.
If President Hayes holds his office by Just
finding according to law, then the title OF
Gov. Packard is absolutely unimpeacha-
BILE. If the title of the latter be not valid
then the Electoral Commission fell into a
most grievous mistake in counting the
electoral votes of Louisiana for Ruther-
ford B. Hayes. Upon this suppositon we
charge the commission, not with inten-
tional fraud, but with an enormous blum
der. Republicans, in studying what may
be called the logic of the position, should
not forget to study the law-logic OF the
case. We frankly give IL up, and admit
(what the democrats aflirm) that if the
title of s. b. Packard is not good, then
that of Rutherford b. Hayes is not good.
We believe that the latter was lawfully
elected; but we could not so believe for a
moment If we had not like faith in re-
gard to the former. 1t is not possible to
hold TO the one and reject the other, with
out disregarding the clearest evidence o!
facts. Both stand or fall together.
The same reasoning applies equally to
Gov. Chamberlain. Without the electoral
votes OF South Carolina Rutherford b.
Hayes would not have been President +;
and the same Board of State Canvassers
that gave him these votes, certified to the
election of members of the Legislature,
by whom, with quorum in each House.
Mr.. Chamberlain was declared lawfully
elected. The two titles, hence, rest ulti-
mately upon the authority of precisely
the same Board of Canvassers; aud this
authority is good in both cases or good in
neither" 5ts

Abraham Lincoln and James @
Blaine

Ward II. Lamon, well known as a confidential
friend of Abraham Lincoln during his life, writes
a letter from Washington to the Boston Journal
in relation 10 the friendship Of Mr.. Lincoln and
Mr. Blaine which is interesting just at this time.
Mr.. Lamon says:
observe in recent issue of your paper that
you class Senator Blaine among those who
were opposed to the denomination OF MIR. Lincoln
in 1864. The point may be interesting now only
as matter of history, but in that regard IL de-
serves to be set right. At that time | was Mar
shall of this district, and | think | may say on
terms OF personal and very special intimacy "itA
Mr.. Lincoln.
| knew those who were his friends and those
who were plotting against him, and | am very
sure that there was no one among the younger
members of Congress on more intimate, cordial
and confidential terms with Mr.. Lincoln than Mr..
Blaine, nor was there any more implicitly trusted
by Mr.. Lincoln.
When the movement was made against Mr.. Lin
coin the winter preceding the campaign of 1864,
Mr.. Blaine was the person with whom Mr.. LIN
coin constantly conferred about Maine, and | was
present at conference between the two
when Mr.. Lincoln requested MIR. Blame
to proceed TO Maine and see If there was
any adverse movement there. Mr.. Blaine report
ed by telegraph to Mr.. Lincoln, and he sent also
to me a telegram which was made public in the
Washington papers, and think through the As
soc iated Press.
Mr.. Lincoln became acquainted with Mr.. Blaine
in Illinois during his memorable campaign with
Douglas 10 1858. Mr.. Blaine corresponding
from the scene of contest with his paper in Maine
and in of his letters he predicted that l.neo In
would be defeated for Senator by Douglas, but
would beat Douglas for President in 1860. This
letter copied in several Illinois papers, and
Mr.. Lincoln cut it out and carried it in his small
memorandum book until loug after he was inau-
gurated ssPresident 1t naturally laid the founds-
ton for cordial friendship between the two More
over, at the Chicago Convention, 1862 MIR. Blaine
was almost the only New England man who was
for Lincoln from the start. To his efforts was
credited the division in the Maine delegation on
the first ballot and that was tie light IL tie east
which heialded speedy victory.

Cotton Manufacturing.

We seem to be nearly as much behind
hand in cotton manufacturing as we excel
the world in cotton growing. We have
but 2l8 spindes per thousand of popua-
ton, while Great Britain has 1,1S0 per
thousand Of her people. and we export
but seven per cent. of our total cotton
manufactures, while Great Britain exports
eighty-five per cent of hers. We have a
multitude of people unemployed, and it is
evident that our manufacturing capacity,
even at a time when everybody is rgidy
economizing at home, is but trifle ahead
of the home demand. We consume, at
this time, at home. all but seven per cent.
Of the cotton got DIS we make. With the
return of good times and the natural in
crease In consumption our cotton manu-
facturers would be hardly able to supply
the home market, and if, as seems not
improbable, we shall have a steadily in-
creasing foreign demand for our goods,
we shall need more cotton mills. Indeed,
we know OF prudent and well informed
cotton manufacturers who believe that if
the Southern troubles are happily settled
and speedy return to specie payments
were probable, it would be safe and profit
able to invest money in new mills at once,
selecting the most favorable localities and
putting in the best machinery, 50 as to
compete on the most favorable terms with
the old mills.-NeW York Herald.
