A Republican Newspaper Denounces
Carpet Bag Rule.

In the Republic, of Geneseo, of this
week, Mr.. Hobbs, editor of that paper,
and postmaster, denounces the admins
tration for its southern policy in the fol-
lowing vigorous style:
We have never approved of the policy
of the administration in lending the sup
port of Federal troops 10 sustain gov
ernment in Louisiana which was not the
government of the people but that of a
political faction who gained control
through the agency of population unfit
to WELD government influence, and re-
rained it by the strong arm of the admins
tration; but have always claimed that the
people should be permitted to govern
themselves without interference from out
side parties. For four years this has not
been the condition of things in Louisiana
the native wealth, intelligence, and all
the better classes of society have beer
deprived of their political rights and kept
in subsection to the rule of a lot of adj
yeuturers placed in power by means of the
votes of people who do not understand
much less appreciate, the principles O
government, aud are ignorant of what il
required to promote the best interests o
the commonwealth, and kept there b,
Federal troops.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
DIR. SCHENCK'S STANDARD
REMEDIES.

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 are destroyed,
speedy cure is effcted
To these three medicines DR. j. II. Schenk, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary disease.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matters
in the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expect
oration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
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. SChenck's Man
drake Pills act on the liver, removing all obstruc-
tOns relax the ga bladder, the bile starts freely
and the liver is soon received.
Sctenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is composed
sIsts the digestion by toni up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
monic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patient viii surely get well if is
taken TO prevent fresh cold.
sOnay or by letter can do at his principal office
corner of Sixth and arch SITS, Philadelphia every
Monday.
Schenk's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

Persistent and conscientious effort, an
imated by an honest purpose. rarely fails
of success. An illustration may be found
in B. T. Babbitt, the prince of soap manu-
facturers. His most recent invention,
B. T. Babbitt's Toilet Soap. is specially
adapted to children, who have soft, tender
skins. This soap is the purest and best
of all in use. for none but the finest yege-
table oils are used, and these give ma
tural fragrance to the article more delicate
than artificial scents.
