tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action IN
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafiled the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. by
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in NY quantity.

A Few FiGUREs.--The democratic
executive committee at Washington
have been doing a little figuring.
They make out that the expenditures
of the United States. exclusive OF
pensions, public debt, principal and
interest, and premiums for the ten
years from June 20, 1876, were
81, 52s,917,1S7.S7. The expenditures
for ten years prior to the war, from
June 80, 1861, were $572,s72,26O so,
an increase Of $95G,044,S77.35.
Since the democrats have controlled
the house, it appropriation bills had
passed the Senate as passed by the
house, $114,7SS,2s9.92 would have
been saved over the republican appro-
priatons for the four years previous
to 1876. The annual savings on ap-
preparations by the house for the two
terms iu which democrats were ma
jority is $ss,Y7O,23647.

days ago said:
"We enter the contest under far
different and more suspicious circum-
stances than the last. Then, the
whole power of the federal and state
governments was brought 10 bear to
crush lis. All the political machinery
of the State, welded by men totally
INSCRIPTIONS in the Use of it, was di-
rectcd to the sole end of perpetuating
rule which vas disgrace to civiliz-
alton and an offence to Heaven. Bay
onets ia the hands Of the paid soldiery
of the common country CLEANED, in
palpable violation Of the Constitution
OF that country, at every polling-place
in our State. Our people, broken by
years of mislule and oppression, were
almost hopeless. We had as the Chief
Executive Of the United States a man
whose highest conception Of the law
was embodied in court martial, and
whose dIsgracetul ignorance of the
constitution of the country was only
equalled by his shameless disregard of
its most sacred obligations Brutal,
ignorant and drunken. he hesitated
not to crush the people Of the South
by the power OF paid soldiery. With
an armed hand upon their Threats he
attempted to stihe the breath of their
liberty, and placing the iron heel of
military oppression upon one of the
thirteen original states of the Union,
he reduced it to military satrapy.
