The Marshal again urges the necessity
OF providing more suitable quarters for the
transaction of the business of the Police
Department, the Marsha's Office not being
a suitable place wherein to accommodate the
large number of impecunious persons who
nightly apply to the police for a place to
sleep in. He also urges the passage of an
ordinance which shall give the police con =
troll over the large number of unruly boys
and young men who congregate upon the
street corners of the city, and in front of
churches, halls,and other places of meet
ing for religious purposes, entertainment
or other business, on which occasion these
youths annoy passers by and the public in
general. The pa ssage of such an ordinance
he deems imperative and adds that anoth.
er place than the county Jail should be
provided for the confinement of the
youths, when necessary.
He also recommends on the completion
of the new depot of the G. r. l. & P. R.R,
the appointment Of policeman to be
stationed permanently at the east end of
the city, and to be known as depot police
man.

That Terrible Scourge,

Fever and ague, and its congener, bill
ious remittent, besides affections of
the stomach, liver and bowels, prod
uced by miasmatic air and water, are
both eradicated aud prevented by the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
purely vegetable elixir, Endorsed by
physicians, and more extensively used
as a remedy for the above class of
disorders, as well as for many others,
than any medicine of the age. A lang
uid circulation, a torpid state of the
liver. want of vital stamina, are
conditions peculiarly favorable to
malarial diseases. They are, however,
surely remedied by the great preven-
tive which, by invigorating the system
and endowing it with regularity as
well as vigor, provides it with a resis.
tant power which enables it to with
stand disorders not only of malarial
type, but host of others to which feeble
and ill-regulted systems are subject.
The Bitters are safe as well as search
ing eradicant. and have widely sup
erseded that dangerous drug, quinine,
which palliates but does not eradicate
malaria.

Evidence of Approval.

Two of our contemporaries and only
two have called in question the course
of The TELLER in relation to the sub
ject matter discussed in its columns since
our paper has been published. This is
evidence to us that there is nothing
pernicious in our policy, nor anything
that is unfair in our discussions. But
nearly all the other journals with which
we exchange have had something to say
commendatory Of our paper, and from
it they frequently quote paragraphs, as
authoritative upon the questions treated
in them. Again since We commenced
publication we never have received a
request to stop the paper for the as
signed reason that the subscriber did
not endorse our policy, and but very
few have stopped for any cause. On
the other hand our circulation has
gradually increased from the first issue.
This, to US, has been another evidence
that our course has given general salts.
faction among our readers. A very few
complaints have come to us from any
quarter, of our manner of conducting
HE TELLER, and with two or three
exceptions these complaints have always
came from those who were not habitual
readers of The TELLER. In our dis
cussions upon questions at issue we, from
our honest convictions, have baen forced
to differ in sentiment from some of our
citizens. But they generally, like men
acknowledging the right to free thought
and opinion and discussion of the same
have uniformity conceded to US our
rights in this respect, without i'll feel
ing or Withdrawal of patronage. This
leads us to apprehend that The TELLER
is performing a good mission in the
communities where it has circulation.
We sometimes hear of outside amin osity
out It's virus does not reach US to dis
'urb our equilibrium in the least, and
hence we plod along with that eouanim.
