My Dear Sir-Having at various times, person

gre value OF the medicine call-G Peruv an Syrap.
or Protected solution of PIotoXide OF lrol, most
cheeriully recommend 1t especially to those who

Objectionable features OF alcoholic remedies, ii il

one of the greatest hlndrances 10 the temperate

to their necessity in certain cases. we have in the

not yet acquainted with the valuable properties of
the medicine may be induced to give 1t a trial.

INTIMATE friends Of the President say
he shows no disquiet whatever in view
Of the pending proceedings in the House
concerning the alleged election frauds,
but exhibits the same apparent equaui-
nifty Of temper that has marked his con.
duct ever since his inauguration. He
had not the slightest knowledge Of
frauds by political managers in Florida
and Louisiana other than published ac-
counts on the Democratic side. During
the canvass and Investigations in these
States. he was entirlY reserved aud look
no part whatever concerning them
leaving the responsibility to those who
perform such business.
The President said Tuesday morning
there was nothing new in the proposed
investigation, but while the frauds, if
any. were committed should be exposed
such exposure would not invalidate his
title to the Presidential chair, as this
had been settled and declared coustitu-
tional.

Ever since the question as to the
next Democratic Gubernatorial nomiuee
has been hrst spoken of the Eureka
SeHiiANI has constantly paraded its
sernPalous regard for that particular
Democratic tenet-as it claims-un-
compromising opposition to third
term officers, aud the sturdy form Of the
present incumbent seems to be O perfect
Bsnquo's ghost to the self-accusing
conscience OF the Hon. editor of that
journal. The auiinus of the Sentinel
diatribes is too veil underitood through
out the State to require an explanation.
The intensity of its present regard for
even the faintest Democratic enuncia.
ton, is sufficiently transparent to af.
ford a clear view of the interior work
ings of Sentinel economy. Governor
Bradley is to the political department
OF that journal, like holy-water to his
Satanic Majesty; one little drop Of his
political probity being enough to throw
its entire editorial corps into a perfect
ecstasy Of diaboiical s%quirning. Ac-
cording to the .SeRiinel catechism,
there's no sin like a third-term; the
indiscriminate smashing Of the most
solemn aud binding pledges. together
with the voluntary distr.ction of every
sacred plank of every political plat
form. is in comparison. a virtuous pro-
ceedinS.
The holy Sentinel finds it an easy
matter to forgive a political Delinquent
cy-barriug u thiri.term; fnlsity to
sworn pledges and insults to constitu-
ents, are triflinG matters, placed in the
overshadowing and monstrous heresy
of n third-term. That dreadful GOA
pounded II confounIed woru is like
a mill pond to n rabbid dog-and why?
from principle? why bless your simple
soul. no! It's merely the nnti- Bradley
