HOT FOR HAYES.
The Packardites Reject any COMPROMISE
And Refuse to aid Hayes in Carrying Out
His Trade with the Rebels"

New ORLEANS, La, April l8.-Both
houses of the Packard legislature met in
joint caucus at II o'clock. There were
eighty y-three members present, including
Washington and Brooks, the two colored
members recently acting with the Nichols
house. The resolutions of the NichClls
legislature were denounced and all com
promise secuted. One of the speakers
said:
| trust every member of this caucus
will agree with me to stand firm and not to
let President Hayes slip through the loop
hole which this commission is trying
to prepare fer him. | believe the time
has come when we can say to President
Hayes, You were elected by the votes of
the Republicans of Louisiana, sealed by
the blood OF hundreds of faithful men, and
now, forgetful of that, and forgetful even
of the obligations of your high office, you
are trying TO carry out bargain made by
your advisors who come here with nothing
but praises of our matchless fidelity while
the returning board were canvassing the
votes. You are trying to carry out that
bargain by saying that whilst you had the
matter under consideration the Repubh
cans Of Louisiana gave up the fight. You
shall not whip the devil round the stump il
that manner"

DIR. SCHENCX'S STANDARD
REMEDxES.

The standard remedies for all diseases Of the
lungs are SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's
SEE WEED Tonic, and SCHENcK $ MANDRAKE PILLS
and if taken before the lungs destroyed, a
speedy cure is etfcted.
To these three medicines DR.. J. H Schenk, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment Of pulmonary disease.
The PulmOnic Syrup ripens the morbid matters
in the lungs; nature throws il off by easy expect
oration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw it of, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonic syrup to do this,
Schenk's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. SChencks Man
drake Pills act on the liver, removing all Obstruc-
tions relax the ga bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver is soon received
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative the alkali OF which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents sOuring, II as
sIsts the digestion by tOning up the stomach TO a
healthy condition, that the food and the Pull
monic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patient will surely get well If care il
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. SChenk, either per
sonally by letter, do at his principal office
corner of Sixth and arch Sts, Philadelphia. every
Monday.
schenk's medicines are sold by all druggist,
throughout the country.
