WASHINGTON, December 8.-Judge
Edmunds, Postmaster of Washing
ton, is dying of Brighrs disease of the
kidneys. He may linger day or two
longer and may die tonight, but all
hope of his recovery has been given
up. Judge Edmunds was one of the
late Senator Chandler's nearest friends.
They were boys together, and Ed
munds came to Washington n 1861 to
be Commissioner of Public Lands.
President Johnson removed him, and
he becams Postmaster of the Senate.
Then there was vacancy in the city
postoffice, and General Grant gave it
to him. Edmunds was for many
years Secretary of the Republican

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The majori-
ty Of the House Committee on Bank
ing and Currency have got themselves
into an unpleasant predicament. The
bill concerning bank reserves
which was unanimously authorized
at their last meeting, and
was given to the public, is ascertained
to be measure which in operation
would have an effect contrary to what
was intended by the majority OF the
committee. They proposed a measure
of initiation, and the bill would work a
contraction. The blunder arises from
the fact that the father of the bill,
Judge BuckDer, based his provisions
Tor the reserve on an old law of 1864
forgetting the changes which had been
made in the law by the legislation of
1874. This peculiar condition was
known to some members Of the CON,
mlttee before, bat inasmueh as thay
had no objection to it they did not en-.

only this morning that he had not
known what he was about,

1t is and an attempt to amend be made
while 1t ls before the House, or recon-
sldered in the committee, is not vet

ner afforded no little amusement to
mnany members to-day.-SpeciaL to the

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health. I'LL
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic. for children. BY
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to!take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
