That Terrible Scourre

Fever and ague, and its congener, bilious
remittent, besides affections of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, produced by MAS

and prevented by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, purely vegetable elixir,
indors d by physicians, and more extern
sively used as remedy for the above class
of disorders, as well as for many others,
than any medicine ofthe age. A Ianguid
circulation, torpid state of the liver,
want Of vital stamina, are conditions pecu-
liarly favorable to malaria diseases. They
are, however, surely remedied by the great
Preventive, which, by invigorAtng the sys-
tern aud endowing it with regularity as

power which enables it to Withstand disor-

The doleful prophecies of the anti sill
yer party will be tested by actual results.
When the silver bill was pending. with
strong probabilities of its becoming law,
they predicted that the credit of the gov
eminent would suffer terribly. And not
only Of the United States government,
but of the States; and not only States.
but of the individual members of the body
polite Despite these Iugubrious pre-
dictions the price Of United States bonds
has not fallen, and the melancholy sooth
sayers have been sadly disappointed. 1t
is absurd TO say-it is INDUSTRIOUS and
stupid fallacy to assume-that the credit
of the government can ever suffer so long
as it adheres to the constitutional coin
established as money by the fathers, and
to the policy of the government from its
foundation to the year of eur Lord 1873,
when the stupendous fraud of demonetiz-
ing silver was perpetrated by the tools
and accomplices Of the money ring. The
only regret we have is that the House
concurred with the Senate in the amend
ments proposed by the latter body. The
House might well have stood its ground
and insisted upon r. :vraing to the people
unimpaired the right which was taken
from them by fraud and corruption. For
the full and complete restoration Of silver
to It's former status, the appeal must now
be made directly to the people them
selves.

SSThe State UmIOadimG."

The following paragraph from Major
Harper of the Kinds County Gazette, is
as full Of common sense as an egg is of
meat. We endorse it with the proviso
that persons whose lands have been for
feited for non payment of taxes from no
fault of their own, but from erroneous
assessment, or other delinquencies on the
part of others. should be exempted from
the stern exactions of the law as ex-
pounded by the Supreme Court:
Some complaint Is made that the State,
through its proper officers, is proceeding to
Gust the occupants of lands that have paid
no taxes for years past. We cannot see
that any man who has been In the habit of
paying his taxes. and who has regarded it
as his duty to Assist in the support of the
government under which he lives, should
complain in this regard. When it is COM
/, eIdered that the State now holds about one
mali the lands and that the other half are
paying he t3xes that should be paid By all,
the situation Is very Piein-and IL seems to
us as tax-payeTl tilk6 there is no great
hardship about IL. It is simply requiring
delinqnents to come forward and do what
the tax payers have all along done, and at
the same time enabling the State to unload
ana nhIass she begins to unload she will
soon carry all the lands. which would be
TOO much weight, as all must admit.

The Republican Slogan.

In the House of Representative on
the 18th INST, Mr. Hale N ew England
member, delivered speech, the staple OF
which was the Southern claims, viz
refunding the cotton tax; the payment of
Southern mail contractors payment of
Southern loyalists for property used or
destroyed" interlarded with the questions
of the Pacific Railroad on the 32d parallel,
Mississi ppi river improvements, etc. In
these latter schemes the West is equally
interested with the South. This is the
sort of ammunition which the leaders of
the Republican party are preparing to
make the next campaign with. 1t shows
to what desperate extremities their party
has been reduced We have too much
faith in the intelligence of people, to be
leve it will prove effective. Their gun,

verse of the satirical poet:
