Jersy City Argus; The Repub- lirans know they cannot carry the Southern states fairly, therefore they are scheming to carry them by force, and so do away with the necessity for the absequent frauds they were compelled to resort to in 1876. The cry of only "handful of troops is merely intended to to blind the people to their danger.

A Vienna journal says that when starting for Livadia last month the czar went to the station Tn an iron clad carriage, escorted by four hun dred mounted guards. The station was surrounded by military and police, and entrance was strictly prohibited. Similar precautions were taken at all'stations along the line. A tram full of police and guards preceded the emperor's and no one for twenty four hours was permitted even to approach the rails. The emperor and the agent of disaffected Irish property must have much sympathy for each other

Old Dr. Johnson was a benefactor. Seventy-five years ago he Invented
 what is now called Johnson's Anodyne Liniment, the wonderful success of which in the cure of diseases of the head, throat and lungs is truly ast0n- ishing. No family should be without it. Thousands of dollars might be annu- allyy saved to farmers if they would give freely of Sheridan's Cavalry Con- dition Powders to their horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and fowl. They prevent disease and promote the growth. We said Sheridan's. Those put up ill LARGE packs are utterly worthless.

DEAFNESS IN CHILDREN.

Thousands of parents administer quinine to their children in such quan- titles as to produce deafness, dimness of vision, pain in the head and a gener- al prostration of the whole nervous system. This practice in many eases. proves pernieious, and a more pleas ant and potent remedy for tie cure of cnills and feveris actually demanded. After much scientific research a remedy has been compounded possessing the power to cure all forms of chills and fever without the use of quinine, and that does not produce unpleasant sym toms. The article is Days Ague 'rouic,' which never fails. to make permanent cures.

BAILEY'S SALINE APPERIENT.
 This article has grown inter rapid favor with the people, the masses, and very justly too, because the proprietors were liberal enough to offer it at one half the price such articles. had been heretofore selling at. It is placed at 50 cents per bottle so that the poor as we'll as the rich could afford to use so potent and pleasant medicine. It is q charming purgative, well adapted to summer use, as it cools the system, cleanses the stomach, opens the bowels and unlOcks the liver. while it is one of the most pleasant beverages in use. For the immediate cure of sick head- ache, heartburn, etc., it has no equal.

Destructive Fire.

Last Wednesday about noon the hand
some and substantial country residence of
Esqr. w \. Caruthers was consumed by fire
He had just returned from the field and was
reclining upon a lounge reading as he dis
covered smoke about the premises, indica-
ting the burning Of rags. He promptly
| searched for the cause and soon saw that
/ the clothes room in TIC rear part of the
back portico was on fire. Opening the door
the flames burst out in fury. This room
| being uncciled, the fire as through a chin
ney swept up between the roof and ceiling
of the portico, and hence could not be reach
ed. The building was large two-storied
framed house, originally built by Col
/ Franklin out of the best material, had been
recently re-puinted, and as the weather was
/ extremely warm especially at that time of
the day, it required only one hour to ac-
complish its total destruction. Esq Caruth-
ers soon saw it was impossible to save the
house and he and his cstimable wife worked
manfully to save the furniture in the lower
front rooms. The farm hands were at work
one mile distant and only arrived in time TO
save the outbuildings. The school children
came and their little hands saved much. In
the upper rooms the Esquire had his wheat
crop which was lost Some furniture and
summer clothing were saved, but the win
ter clothing and bedding of the family up
stairs were destroyed. Estimated loss not
l.ss than S30OO and no insurance. The fire
is supposed to have resulted from heated
irons, wrapped in the ironing cloth and
placed 4 short while before in that room.
Esqr. Caruthers commenced at the close
Of the war without cent as capital, but he
had large stock of the truest. manifest
personal worth on hand and this coupled
with untlinching energy enabled him with
the assistance of self sacrifcin5, noble
woman as wife,to earn not only a competen-
cy but to accumulate money He purchased
the Franklin homestead and this year he
would have paid for it and been out Of debt
He has the warmest symyathics Of the entire
community in this heavy loss.
His neighbors rallied to supply their
needs at once. S. II Clinton carried the
family to his house and in a few days Capt.
Sam had shingled and fixed up very com
fortably a roomy out house near the ruins
of the late residence and Mr. Caruthers and
family went over to occupy 1t. He will
soon rebuild
We are requested to express the deep
gratitude OF the family for the help so
cheerfully rendered by both white and col
ored people at and after the fire.

COlyHr and Savage.

Last Thursday quite a crowd of citizens
assembled at the Courthouse to hear a joint
discussion of the 5O-4 proposition BY these
two distinguished low-tax champions. Col.
Savage opened the discussion. lie opposed
the acceptance OF the compromise and fixed
the responsibility of settlement upon the
railroads. lie claimed that the bulk of the
debt was the creature of corruption and
conspiracy and should therefore be ignored
by the people. He cOntended that the vote
OF taxation TO meet the settlement proposed
would be tantamOunt to confsoation of
property. The Legislature for many years
past, and the leading men in the State were
accused Of being bought by corporations or
were Over-awed to fastcn this huge debt on
the people. He made an ingenious argu-
ment, the influence of which was to devel-
ope a spirit OF reputation throughout the
State.
Col. Colyar in reply delivered strong
and forcibe argument to show that as an
avowed low-tax advocate, he favored the
proposed settlement, because it represented
mutual concession of both creditor and debt
or and recognized the Impoverished condi-
ton Of the people.
He very ably reviewed the conflict on
this perplexing question in the extra session
OF the legislature. and showed that all Of
the low-tax men voted for the 5O-4 propo-
sition, including both Savage and Travis.
ii the State credit men had yielded the point
at the extra session, it would have been set
tied then. He here gave his reasons for
supporting this settlement. 1t was taking
of two-thirds, and only paying one-third of
the debt. 1t produced strife and conten-
ton in the Legislature, and according to Col.
Savage, all legislatures were corrupt. and
could be bribed, and were generally con-
trolled by lobbyists in the interest of the
bondholders. If this then is the complex
ion OF our legislatures according to Savage,
would 1t be wise to relegate this question
again to the legislature. II the peopIe
should vote for this compromise. the largest
majority Of the bondhoIders would accept.
for it is to the interest Of capital 10 seek a
reasonable compromise, rather than resort
to the courts lie discussed the legal as
poets Of the question in very lucid and
able manner. \ State could not pull off
its sovereignty 81 will. and put it on again
