II. T. Hanover, Va.-Many popular
nostrums, as ''infant cordials' and
soothing syrups" of various kinds,
depend for their utility upon some
preparation of opium, and are hence
often followed by symptoms of marco
tic poisoning None of these things
should be used. If a child cries, it is
usually because it feels pain and, in
stead of making it SO stupid with mar
cOtics that it cannot feel the pain, it is
better to go to work and find out the
cause of the pain, and remove it.
Mothers who use Mrs. Winthrop's
soothing syrup. and similar prepare
tons, are doing their children lrrepara-
BILE injury.

may take them with impunity, or find
them absolutely Indispensable, espe-

A Chropjcle reporter called upon Off,
GERS of the Agency yesterday, and learn
ed that its affairs were embarrassed on
account of advances made to planters,
and OF the failure of many of the sub
scribers to the stock of the corporation
to pay UP their subscriptions. The total
aumber of shares is l,5l2. of which the
par value is ten dollars each. About GOO
shares have been paid up The Agency
owes about $1,000, the principal part OF
which, or about $l.S00 is due to MIR.
William Hart, of Warren county. Ebout
$500 is due Mr. Neal. of the same county.
Tho Agency owes several other parties
amounts from $l0t to $3.50. The officers

Tors hold meeting, which will bc soon,
means will be devised 10 pay oil the in
lebtedness ut once The Agency was
established in November, 1874, by the

charged for storing and selling cotton
have been so low that tho receipts have
been insufficient to meet expenses. II

MEssRs. EDITORS :-Inasmuch as there
are host of candidates in the field, and
but few to be elected, wish to PROFOUND
few questions to them. And the pub
lie demands them TO answer. The voters
in the coming campaign ask them to
respond. The good of the country re-
euires that strict adherence be had,
and properly answered. AS voters in
the primary election, we will not, noI
cannot. support, any candidate for the
e Legislature who refuses to answer
explicitly the questions that may follow
viz:
lst. Are you In favor Of tho Democratic
plan of election, I mean by Primary;
and hare you declared yaarsel0es candi-
dates. or did he ppqpia bring yon out?
End. Are you in favor Of reducing the
pay of Representative from five dollars
per day to three? If SO, speak out
81. Are you willing to lose all lost
time without pay, duriag the sitting oI
the Legislature?
4tli. Are YOU willing that the jurors
who are compelled by law to attend court,
STALL get three dollars per day f'r their
services; and that the State witnesses
who are boundover to curt, shall receive
one dollar and fifty cents PER day?
9TH Will you, il elected, do all y"u
can in tho IT, giSlaturo to br nS about
these important changes?
There are otkor questions, Of minor
Importance, that might be asked just
here, but we deem them unnecessary -
this time. The ones wo alIude to must
be answered and fully endorsed, either
in the affirmative or in the negative.

there are SO many aspirants for office,

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Rmrey, the colored Congressman from
South Carolina, has assured Il Tribune
correspondent of the ability of the Repub-
licans to carry three OF the five Congress
sional Districts OF that State. if not pre-
vented by fraud and intimidation. There
will be neither the one nor the other, and
the Democrats will certainly carry every
district but one. They may carry the
Charleston District also but too many
lusonists and doughiaces may cause de-
feat in That quarter.
The Richmond Dispatch says a person
who was present and witnessed the scene,
says that on Thursday last, when Gen.
Joe Johnston was upon the floor OF the
United States Senate by invitation oil n
Senator, the scene in that grave body was
almost like levee. Senators from all
parts OF the United States came up TO be
introduced to him and to shake his hand.
Not once in q generation is such scene
witnessed. Business was almostsuspended.
The New York Tribune says In view
of the exposition of bribery and corrup-
tion in the election of Patterson, Of South
Carolina, to the United States Senate, the
Senate not only disgraces itself and tine
country by allowing him 10 retain h
seat but a,so robs the renitentiary oI
South Carolina Of one Of the most distin-
guished personages entitled to its hospl-
tality.
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Journal Of Commerce think:
the Democratic Presidential ticket in 1856
will be Thurman and Gordon. 1t is al
most loregone conclusion that the second
place will be given 10 the South, and nc
one would fill the bill better than the sol,
dicr Senator from Georgia.
