1t will not be in the power of the
Secretary of the Treasury to further

against any further contraction, pro-

received they shall be reissued and
thus kept in the hands of the people.
This is righteous and lust measure,

THE POTTER Committee.

The Republicans are bowling dread
fully over the Potter Committee,
which is unearthing all the nastiness
Of the great Presidential Fraud in
Louisiana. 1t is no wonder they
howl, for it is showing to the people
that pretty much all the leaders of the
Republican party were connected in
deliberate and premeditated conspi-
racy to count Hayes in and Tilden
out by the most glaring and palpable
fraud. The corruption and guilt of
Mathews and Sherman are becoming
more apparent every day, and it is
no wonder they talk about revolution,
Mexicanizing, etc, but it will not de-
ter Congress from making thorough
investigation. The committee is
quietly at work.

The attempt to assassinate Empe-
ror William, of Germany, is to be re
GREETED by every one who desires to
see peace and prosperity everywhere.
The aspect of the German Govern
ment and Empire since the browning
of King William has not been uni
formly prosperous and peaceful.
There have often been murmurings of
discomfort; principally, however, from
ecclesiastical partisans, or from So
cialistic demagogues. In his relig-
ious sympathies and convictions the
Emperor is Protestant. The Empe-
ror is in his eighty first year and has
always been hale and hearty, but con
sidering his age, this dastardly at
tempt ON his life may do him ire
parable injury. From every Court in
Europe messages of coincidence have
been received at Berlin. The would
be-assassin was Immediately arrested
and to avoid summary vengeance
from the indignant populace had to
be specially protected by the police.
The democracy of Oregon have
covered themselves with glory at
their recent election. Their victory
over radicalism at this time is of ma.
tional significance and its Importance
should not be overlooked. 1t is the
first State election held since the Pot
ter investigation committee has been
in session, and when it was prophesied
by the whole radical clement of the
United States and not by few weak
minded Democrats, that the appoint
Iment of that committee would surely
Head to Democratic defeat. Now
what are the consequences in Oregon?
Hayes carried that State by a large
,1najesdg and the present member OF
the House of Representatives is Re

whole Democratic State ticket, a
Democratic legislature and a Demo
i. cratic congressman were elected. The

Ayers Ague Cure,

Chill Fever, Remitfent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &C., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari-
GUS, marsh, or miasmatic pOisons.
This is compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
q remedy the necessities of the people in mala-
rlous districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine set discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no quiz
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. 1t
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infal-
lble. 1t can, therefore, be safely recommended
as sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South 1t counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its inHu-
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
ToOthache, Earache, Catarrl, Asthma, Pal
pitatiOn, Splenic Affections, Mysteries, Pain
in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit-
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
AYERS AGUE CURE, which cures them all alike,
andprotects the system from future attacks. As
preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
onthe first approach Of the premonitory symp.
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection THIS remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
1t Is an excellent remedy it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

CAPITOL NOTES.

SnAAAoA NOAGo
Washington, April 1.-THE president
does not seem the least disturbed by the ac-
ton Of the recent republican caucuses.
Those nearest him, socislly and politically,
say that there is no probability whatever.
that he will as requested by the resolution
Of Senator Sargent in the caacu, last night,
rescind the order forbiddlng the participa.
ton in political meetings of the officials in
the executive branch of the civil service,
and these friends do not think it probable
that any such request will be made by the
congressional committee, though they may
confer with the president on political affairs
generally. In view Of the approaching
election, they say that the president never
declines to listen attentively to suggestions,
but when he makes up his mind as to the
rightfulness Of any measure. he adverts to
it. The republicans in congress, for the
greater part, will endeavor to avoid direct
issue with the president, however much
they disagree with him in some of his DO
litical measures.
