A DIsoRDED LIvER.-That dreadful dis
ease, from which so many persons suffer, is
frequently the cause of Headache, Indiges-
ton, and Dyspepsia, is speedily relieved, and
are often permantly cured by Swaync's Tar
and Sarsaparilla Pills.
Fevers are often prevented by the use of
these Sarsaparilia Pills, as they carry off,
through the blood, the impurities from which
they arise. For costiveness there is nothing
so effectual as Swayne's Tar and Sarsaparil-
la Pills.
They are purely vegetable. and act spec
tally on the Liver as Blue Mass or Calomel,
without any bad results from taking.

A startling and most astounding cX'
pose is that furnished by the Joint
Committee of the South Carolina Leg
islature in its report on the extrava'
giant expenditures Of the State Gov
eminent, showing how Republican
newspaper organs were maintained in
that State under the carpet'bag re-
CINE. The Committee shows that
fraud, bribery and corruption were
rife in every department Of the State
Government, and millions were stolen
by the leaders of the Republican party.
The most important and interesting
evidence is that which portrays the
manner in which most of the Ku-KluS
raids were gotten up and the reasons
which existed for the charges of re
bellion and insurrection against the
Government on the part of Democratic
citizens. 1t is shown that the stoler
money was used to procure materia
for the Ku.Klux stories with which
Republican papers Of the North were
filled in those days.

known political manager, was appoint
ed to succeed Mr.. Simmons. Senators
Hoar and Dawes were obliged to sign
a letter endorsing Mr.. Beard before
the President would nominate him
1t appears that the President did moi
wapt to nominate Mr. Beard, but want
ed to pacity everybody by going out
side of both factions. To this Hoal
would not agree, and the Presiden
finally traded with the politicians
