CONSTITUTIONAL CATARRH
REMEDY.

The CONSTITUTIONAL CATARRH REMEDY Is
the first article placed before the public that
proposed to cure Catarrh by building up the
Constitution. 1t struck at the root of the
whole difficulty, and thousands upon thon-
sands of letters have been received by tho
propretors. setting forth the marvellous cures
and what is remarkable, curing not only the
Catarrh but all other ailments at tho same
time. This is what 1t always does. Tho fol-

we are continually receiving from we'll known

bogus ones. Catarrh and its attendant evils

WHEN old Zach Chandler was before
the House committee the other day the
following dispatch confronted him;
New YORK, November s, 1875.
To Governor L. NJ, Stearns, Tallahassee,
Florida
Hold Florida for Hayes and Wheeler.
Money and troops will be sent you.
u CHANDLER.
Proctor Knott asked, "Did you send
this telegram to Governor Stearns ?"
Chandler thought he might have done
so; had sent several te'egrams to him
Knott asked: "Did you do it of your
own motion or at the suggestion of some-
body else? ?" This question he declined
to answer, and claimed that immunity
which should be accorded him on ac-
count of being Cabinet officer. The
Committee informed Mr.. Chandler that
he held the dual position of Cabinet
minister and chairman of the Republican
National committee; that his official acts
as cabinet minister would not be inquir-
ed into, but that so far as the dispatches
which were dated in New York, and in
his capacity as chairman of campaign
committee, he had no privileges he could
claim. He was allowed till Wednesday
to answer.

THE DISASTRO US ICE BREAK.

CINCINNATI, Jan. I5-The present
break up of ice in the river has been one
of the most disastrous on record, not
only at this place but at almost every
point beween here and Pittsburgh. The
lowest estimated damage hear is $780,
900 the h ighest $4oo, 900, The heaviest
losses seems at this writing to be with
coal dealers, There were seventy FIVE
loaded and one hundred and fifty empty
barges sunk or carried away from the
landing at this place. Most of those not
actually sunk have been left in such a
condition that nothing can be done for
them and they will be eventually lost.

met was swept away. Captain Dugan
and themates were aboard, but made their

the wreck reached the steamer. The

THE WEEK OF PRA YER.


Last week, throughout the Christian
world, was devoted to prayer "ln wor-
ship, prayer is a solemn address to the
Supreme Being, involving an expression
of our sense of GDd'sg glorious perfections,
confession Of our sins, supplication for
mercy and forgiveness, intercession tor
blessings on Others, and thanksgiving, OF
an expression ofgratitude to God for his
mercies and benefits"
In Canton six of our leading Protest
ant congregations and the pastors Thereof
held union service during the week in
their different churches. We learn the
attendance was small, and the week Of
prayer was not success. Hence the
services are not continued.
We see a similar coldness has been
manifested in other places, and we con-
clude the cause must be general. May
not the anxiety and alarm throughout
the country over the unsett ed and
threatening Presidential question have
much to do with it2 Business men
pointto this as the cause OF the terrible
prostratioh. Prominent business men in
New York and Philadelphia petition
Congress to dispose of it quickly and
peaceably. We call the attention of the
clergy to this matter, and urge them alsC
to use their influence in the direction oi
law and order, peace and good will, with
view of carrying out the decree of the
People.
We doubt not all'intelligent, good and
pious people realize the sad, not to say
alarming condition of things in this
country. Add to this the business stay
nation, and the distress caused by the
scarcity of labor, and there is little Won
der that the week of prayer was failure
The design of the week Of prayer is tC
bring the human mind into accord one
with another, and allay political and all
other animosities. Steps should be- Ia
ken to remove the cause of discord, and
thus make harmony possible. A fair ad-
iustment in accordance with the verdict
of the People is what is wanted to restore
prosperity and harmony. Prayer should
be directed to that end, and works should
accompany.

DoN PIATT, in the Washington Capital
ofSunday, referring to Zach Chandler's
refusal to testify before the House COM
mittee as to his use of money and troops
to influence the Florida election, says:
The committee have proof positive in
their hands, being messages over Chand-
ler's signature, that he advised the mani
pulating of the ballots in the disputed
States, and provided corruption fund
for the purpose Mr.. Chandler was not
shown the proof possessed by the COM
mittee, and whether he answers or not,
the result is precisely the same. Thus
we have coming to the surface to be test
ed by the light of day the dark conspira-
cy which was organized to cheat the peo-
pie out of their choice and continue in
power the gang of dishonest officials, who,
not content with degrading their places,
have plotted to destroy the Government
by an attack on the ballot.

TEE Enquirer is after Sheriff Wallace

THE Enquirer is after Sheriff Wallace OF
that county, who gives his advertising to
the Times, contrary to his promise. The
Enquirer discovers how party attach
ment withers and fades with some per.
sons, after election. They feel their loft
mess, and will hardly recognize the
bridge that helped them over. We have
known, for instance, Democratic Infr.
mary Directors who would not consider
any Democrat for Superintendent, but
could keep in bitter Republican who
would fawu around them and poke soft
mush in their ears.

1t is urged against the duel that it is

like ourselves to barbarism. OF course,
being ofhuman origin, the duel is imper-

as any other corrective we seek to apply
to wrong-doing, Has any one stopped to

THE Florida question is settled. Gov.
Drew has been inaugurated, and the ma
chinery of the State Government is now
wholly in Democratic hands, but the
Electoral vote of the State remains un-
challenged for Hayes and Wheeler. There
remains now but Louisiana. The Eiec-
toral vote of that State will be counted
for Hayes and Wheeler, and the farther
the investigations go the clearer it be-
comes that the vote honestly belongs to

We commend the following to the
Herald: ....
In regardto the situation as to the
Florida vote, special to the Baltimore
Gazette says
The decision in regard to Baker and
Clay counties comes back now TO plague
the Republicans. The fact that major
ity could only be show n for Hayes on the
second count by determining that the re.
turns from Baker and Clay, which they
decided in the first count were the true
ones, are spurious, has produced a deep
effect with all tair-minded men. When
Senator Conkling was given the true in
wardness of the Canvassing Boards ac-
ton to-day, he said he was amazed at it:
he went further, and said that after care
fully reading Francis C. Barlow's report,
he had looked for further facts in regard
to that State. The Democrats very gen
orally regard the situation as very much
improved, and feel sanguine of Tildpn's
Inauguration on the 5th of March, The
Florida Legislature win investigate the
whole subject of the Presidential election
in that State and the action of the Can.
vassing Board, and win report its finding
to Congress. If the State authorities de-
eide that the action of the Canvassing
Board was illegal and void, and if this
finding is backed by the decision of the
Supreme Court Of the State, conclusive
case will be made out for Tilden.
