VEGE:TINE.
SAFE AND SURE.

MR H. r. STEVENS
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to
me. and, yielding to tho persuaSj"ns of friend,
consented to try it. At the time was suffer
ing from general debility and nervous proStra-
ton snperindnced by ovcrwork and irregular
habits. Its wonderful strengthening and ctr
4tve properties seemed to affect my dehIitathd
system from the first dose and under its per
sistent Use I rapidly recovered. gaining more
than usual health and good feeling Since then
have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most
unqualified Endorsement, as being safe, sure,
and powerful agent in promoting health and
restoring the wasted system to new life and
energy. Vegetine is the only medicine I nse ;
and as long as live never expect to find
better.
Yours truly, W. r. CLARK,

Dear Sir,-About one year since found my.
self in feeble conditi from general debility.
VegetiDe was strongly recommended to me BY
friend who had been much benefited by 'its
use. IprOcnrel the article, and after using
several bottles, was restored to health. and dis.

there is no medicine superior to it for those
complaints for which it is especially prepared
and would cheerfully recommend it to those

them to perfect health.

Montgomery BIRir's Views OF Turning

reporter of CDs esteemed cotemporary, the
Washington Star, a stalwart apothecary out OF
business, who owns large mortar, might
make worse use Of it than 10 try his hand
with 4 pestle in it on tie irrepressible Mr..
Montgomery Blair. That elected member of
Mr.. Llncon's cabinet, it appears, is still
walking the earth, and bears about with him
IN his breeches pockets a ready made revolu-
ton, which he is only waiting a convenient
opportunity to let loose upon this hapless
lard As thus:
Reporter Of the Star-To what do you
attribute the motive of the Democrats, who,
it is charged, allowed the President to be
counted in by virtue Of an agreement with
him?
Blair-To the Tom Scott and Jay Gould
railroad Jobs. That had everything to do
with it. Hayes was to help these jobbers,
and the men owned by them let him be
counted in over Tilden in consideration there
of. That's all it was. Money had every
thing to do with 1t. 1t was money that put
Hayes in, and nothing but money keeps HIM
in. He would have been out long ago, if it
was not for the moneyed peoples operations
in congress. As soon as We kill Tom SCOTS
and Jay Gould's schemes in congress, which
is being done almost every day, we can soon
turn him out.

Ofcourse those who have ridiculed the Presi-
dents civil service point to Mathews and his
mode of distributing the patronage as signal
proofs of the hypocrisy of this whole pretense
to reform. Mr.. Mathews is the son of an
Old-School Presbyterian divine at Danville,
Kentucky, and he is himself leading mem
Der of the same church. He always stood
high, socially and in other respects, in GIN
cinnati: He appears to have imbibed his
ideas of political morality, as revealed in the
Anderson negotiations about the time he be-
came the champion of civil-service reform.
His is only another instance Of nen who,
standing high at home, reveal their true in
wardness when they become legislators and
ambitious for political prefernent. President
Hayes must shake STANLEY Mathews at
once if be expects New York Republicans to
have confidence in his own honesty.

SOME INSIDElHISTORY.
How Ben Hill says the Ex-Rebels
Prevented Another Civil War.

Senator Ben Hill gave a correspondent
some of the inside history of the last days of
the counting OF the electoral vote. He said
that the Wormley conference had nothing to
do with the result reached, and that the per-
sons who took part in it were those who did
IT on their own responsibility, With no con-
sultation with any one. lie spoke as follows:
Il am now about to reveal to you the dim
outlines of what will some day form one of
the most patriotic pages IN Amerlc IN history,
and after | conclude my brief narrative you
will know Just how much influence this So
called Wormley conference had in etfecting
the result of the electoral count. When the
decision of the electoral commission in the
| Florida case became known, | became salts
fed that the disputed States would be de-
cIded IN favor of Hayes, and that the Issue
which would presently confront us would be
the legal Inauguration Of Mr.. Hayes as Presi
dent or another revolution. l consulted with
a few ex-Confederates, all members of the
house of representatives. and the situation
was thoroughly and earnestly discussed. Not
to enter into unnecessary details, we, who
/ ad Just emerged from rulnous and disas-
trous war and had experienced It's devastat-
ing efiects-we ex-rebels determined to pre-
We 1T a second civil war and spare the cOun-
try from all the terrible horrors that would
attend it. Accordingly, forty-two ex-Con
federates solemnly pledged themselves to
each other, upon their sacred honor, to OPP
pose ali attempts to Illustrate the counting of
the votes for President and Vice President.
| We held no caucus nor no meeting. | called
upon each gentleman personally and obtained
his signature to paper that | presented to
him. We conducted the movement with the
greatest caution, for we did not desire our
plans should be even suspected. You may
Judge how well the secret has been kept,
when it has remained inViolate till this day.
Having disclosed these facts, you can now
determine what degree Of importance to at
tsch 10 the influence exercised by the Demo-
cratic members or e. WJrmely conference
upon the result o s. :toral count, The
forty-two ex Cor. congressman had
pledged themselyes 81, 4Jide by the decision
OF the electoral commission several weeks be-
fore the Wormley conference took place, so,
that, despite the sensational rumors that
filed the air, towar] the close of the count,
there never was the remotest possibility of
trouble. We held the balance of power, and
did not propose to permit another war If our
votes could prevent it,
