AN UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT,

Mr.. Gariield's speech, on Friday of
last week, was most mastery expo
sure of the fallacies of the anti-resump-
tionists. OF all the speakers in the
debate, no one has displayed so COM
prehensive and broad conception of
the subject as he. In the financial dis
cussions of the House, Judge Kelly,
the ablest representative possibly of
the infationists, has heretofore quoted
largely from English authorities in sup
port Of his peculiar ideas on finance
Mr.. Garfield demolished, by a single
blow, the fair fabric of authorities

SENATOR PATTERSON, of South Caro-
lima, who is now under criminal indict-
ment in that State, and Conover, of
Florida, both voted with the Democrats
on Thursday, on the question of dis
charging the Committee on Privileges
and Elections from the further consid-
Grafton of the Butler, Is. c. case. 1t
is reported that Patterson took this
course under bargain that he would
be saved from his apparent doom, the
penitentiary, in return for his vote. If
any evidence of such shameful sale is
given, the men who have countenaneed
or aided it will be as Infamous as the
men they bought, and the party which
gains small advantage by such meth
DDS will be lastingly disgraced in the
eyes of the people.

THE GREAT REGULATORS SIMMONS LIVER

THE GREAT observation-disclosures LIVER
REGULAToR-S is the season of the
year above all others when the system is
liable to get out of order and severe and
dangerous bilious attacks frequently follow.
The principal cause of nearly all sickness
at this time of the year has it's origin in a
disordered Liver, the largest organ in the
body, which if not Regulated in time, great
suffering, wretchedness and Death will en-
sue. A little precaution taken in time in
the shape of reliable and efficacious Liver
Regulator will in most cases prevent illness
and fatal consequences. No medicine in
modern times has gained a wider reputation
than Simmons Liver Regulator manufac-
tured by J. H. ZEILIN & Co. This justly
celebrated medicine Regulates the Liver,
promotes digestion, and fortifies the sys-
TEN against malarial diseases.
