FRIENDS of Governor Packard inow in
Washington assert eight members OF the
Packard Legislature were paid $4,000 to
90 over and take seats in the Nichols
House. They DO not assert that this
bribery was known to the commission
that went to Louisiana, but claim to have
all the evidence necessary to sustain the
accusations, and furnish the names OF
those who will testify to them.

TIE death of Senator Morton makes
a difference of two in the Republican
majority in the Senate, as his successor
will be Democrat. When the successor
is appointed and has taken his seat, the
Senate will stand 36 Republicans, 81
Democrats, 3 Independents (Christaincy,
Booth and Davis). with three seats COLI
tested. 1t EuStis and Spofford are adj
mitted from Louisiana, and Butler from
South Carolina, the Democrats will have
81 votes, the Democrats and Indepcnd-
ents together 80. 1t Kellogg is admitted
from Louisiana, as now seems probable.
the Senate will consist of 81 Republicans,
80 Democrats, and 3 Independents, with
two seats vacant. Booth and Christiancy
are likely to act with the Republicans on
all important measures, which will give
the Republicans a majority of four, count
ing Davis with the opposition.

aATURnAE. NOVEMBER 10. 1877.


Has not the NORTHERN TRIBUNE, as a
regular publication, been a faithful ex-
Douent OF your interests during the time
u las been published? Has 1t not done
its full share towards making known
abroad the resources of this region? Has
il ever fuiIed in its duty to the great in
ferests TO which it is devoted? Il has
come 10 be regarded as authority in all
matters pertaining to the growth and re-
sources of Northern Michigan, and there
are few papers IN the state more ex-
tensively quoted than the NORTHERN
TRIBUNE, and it is by this means more
than any other that Cheboygan and
surrounding country has become so ex-
teusively and favorably known during
the past few years 1t has always kept
steadily in view the welfare of the whole
region, and more particularly the great
agricultural interest, upon the prosperity
OF which depend so largely the success
or failure of all other local business inter-
esfs. 1t has inaugurated and pushed
nearly TO completion the most important
internal improvement yet commenced in
Northern Michigan, IAN Improvement
which will be of Unreasonable benefit to
this section of the state for years and
years TO CONF.
If. therefore. the NORTHERN TRIBUNE
has been faithful exponent OF your in.
terests, we ask, in all candor, that you
will consider for moment if it is not
entitled to your earnest support to the
extent OF the legitimate patronage you
have TO bestOw. If we cap execute your
orders in as good style and at as low
prices as you can obtain elsewhere, do
yon not think you will be subscribing
your own interests by giving your APP
tronage 10 the support OF such publ
cation as the NORTHERN TRIBUNE rather
than send it abroad and help build up
'other places. Please give this matter
yonr candid consideration, and il you
can come to the conclusion that the
NORTHERN TRIBUNE, rs an advocate OF
your interests, is not more worthy OF
your patronage than foreign printing
Offices. if you can place us on par with
those who take } our money, while they
do rot nor cannot contribute anything
70 the welfare of the village and district
then we shall not complain if you send
your printing orders abroad.

testimonial is to sprerd valuable formation.
Having been badly afflicted with Salt kheum,
and the whole surface Of nv skin being covered
with pimples and eruptOns, many of which
caused me great pain and annoyance, and know
ing it to be blood disease, took many OF the adj
verIised blood preparations, among which was
any q aptity of Sarsaparilla, without obtaining
any benefit until commenced taking The Vege-
tine; and before had completed the first bottle
saw that had got the right medicine. Conse-
quently followed on with it until had taken
seven bottles, when / was pronounced well
man; and my skin is smooth and entirely free
from pimpies and eiuptlons. l have never en-
ioycd 20 good health before, and attribute H. to
