 gressional District:
 FELLOW CITIZENS: I am a candi- date for congress, subject to con yention if one be held. am in full accord with the democratic party on all the questions of the day, and am in favor of stopping the contraction of the currency; of winding up the banks and issuing United States currency directly from the govern ment, thus saving millions of inter est; of amending the laws in regard to whisky and tobacco, and particu- larly relating to leaf tobacco, and liquors made from fruit; of re-enact- ing the old graduation law of the price of the public lands without q repeal of the homestead law; of amending the constitution so the people can vote directly for president and vice president; of taking away the jurisdiotlon of the United States courts Tn regard to interfering with the levying and collection of the county revenues; of reducing the salaries and every kind of govern mcnt expenses to the rates prevail ing before the war.

An old physician, retired from prac- tice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure of consump- ton, bronchitis, catarrf, asthma, aud all throat and lung affections, also a positive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous complaints, after having tested it's wonderful cura- tive powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make 1t known to his suffering fellows.

Liver is King.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the whole human system, as it controls the life, health and happiness of man. When it is disturbed in it's proper ar- tion, all kinds of ailments are the natu- ral result. The digestion of food, the movements of the heart and blood, the action of the brain and nervous system, are all immediately connected witll the workings of the Liver. It has been successfully proved that Grcen's Au- gust Flower Is unequaled in curing all persons afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint, and all the numerous symptoms that result from an unhealthy condition of the Liver and Stomach. sample hottles to try, 10 cents.

Prof. Doggett's School.

v
 We call the special attention of all who feel an interest In educational matters amongst us to the card of Prof. Doggett announcing the opening of the second term of his school.
 Prof. Doggett proposes to make his school supply T want long felt here, to-wit: to conduct school here at which our young ladies and gents can fully prepare themselves to enter the freshman, sophomore, or junior class at any of our colleges or seminaries.
 The course of study and training will be particularly adapted to suit and corr respond with the course in use at the A. I.

 23rd. Farewell Essay, by Miss Katie Roberts, a beautiful and touch ing adieu to teachers and class mates. Following this came an ad- dress and presentation by Col. Ben. T. Embry, of an elegant gold pen the gift of the principal--to Miss Jennie Reynolds for excellence at tained in orthography. A rendition of Beautiful Angels, a beautiful song, closed the evenings performance.
 It would be an injustice to here particularize; suffice it to say that the audience which was by far the largest we have ever seen assembled here, listened with rapt attention through the entire evening, and gen erously manifested their approval of the exercises which were all they could be. Too much could not be said in behalf of the students and the untirlng energy requisite to such success as that which crowned the closing hours of the past term of Prof. Fuckers school and many a happy parent left the church Friday night justly proud of the manner in which their children acquitted them selves and deeply indebted to the principal and his accomplished lady for the care and pains they have spent in their interests.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: As I am an old subscriber I will write you some of my thoughts, if you think it will be of any importance, publish it, if not throw it aside.
 In selecting men to the legislature it behooyes us to look for the best men; we want good, wise, and expe- rienccd men if we can get them men at least who can manage their business with success; an agent who does not manage his own affairs with ability will hardly be able to man age ours any better. An extrava- gant, wreckless man who runs his own affairs into bankruptcy will be apt to get the State in the same con dition, and l take the grounds that no man is fit to legislate for people who himself might be found in the attitude of making laws to collect money of himself Now, sir, this view of the subject does not dispar- age the young or poor man if he is sober, honest and industrious, 1t makes no odds how poor, if his own liabilities do not interfere with laws intended to collect the liabilities of others; but few laws well understood is better than a chang. every two years therefore 1 dismiss this sub. ject for thg present TooTHPlcK.

The Shiloh Picnic.

We had anticipated much pleasure from attending this occasion. But being absent from our county we were deprived the pleasure. We understand it was a grand affair and a complete success. The various candidates for the Legislature were present and speechified to the tax-payers in attend ance. We regret that we had no re- porter present.

 ranks of the party-that was mat. ter between them and would have to be settled by the Courts. This con vention should not be deterred from carrying out the expressed will of the party to await the adjudication of this matter by the Courts. Remarks were made by Dr. Black

TO MAKE IRA DE DOLLARS LEGAL
TENDER.

Senator Voorhees,. of Iadiaua. is re-
ported as saying that one of his first
acts Oh the reassembliag of Congress
will be to Introduce bill making trade
dollars legal tender
Fhe passage of such bill will add
$4,000. OOO TO the coin circulation. and
probably that is the reason why Voor-
bees. who is an iDfiationist, favors the
measure. There is. however. no good
reason why trade dollars, which con-
Aain seven and a half more grains of
silver than the standard silver dollar,
should not. ike that coin, be legal
tsaaer to any amount for ali debts. 1t
- Inconsistent. to sag the least. to have
trade dollars, containing 400 grains of
silver valaeless except as bullion, while
she new silver dollars, which only con.
balm 4l2N grains. of silver are legal
sender at their face value for all debts
