The ~afonsI Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the nationaI complaint.
Almost every other man or woman YOU
meet has il, and the result is that the
number of pseudO-remedies for il is as
numerous as Pharoah's host. They are
for the most part worthless. There is,
however, a searching eradieant of this
distressing and Obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised
it to a foremost place among the staple
medicines of America. HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters exterpates dyspepsia
with greater certainty and promtitude
than any known remedy, and is a most
genial invigorant, appetizer and aid to
secretion These are not empty asser-
tions, as thousands of our eountrymen
and women who have experienced its
effects are aware, but are backed up by
irrefragable proofs repeatedly laid be-
jOre the public. The Bitters also pro
mote a regular habit of body and give
a healthful stimulus to the urinary
organs. 22-lm

Washington Letter.

WASHINGI0N. ID C. Iune


WASHINGTON, ID. c., June
The most important Congressional
caucus of this session was that of the
Democratic Senators and Representa-
tives on Tuesday. That it was entirely
harmonious and resulted i'm conclusions
practically unanimous, is exceedingly
gratifying, and gives promise Of a
speedy termination of the session. The
plan agreed upon does not abolish the
partisan machinery at which the efforts
OF the majority have been aimed, but it
accOmplishes substantially the same re-
suit for the time being. 1fMr. Hayes
Is able to keep obnoxious laws upon the
statute books by vetOing acts for their
repeal he cannot compel Congress to vote
funds for putting them i'm use, and he
will at last be forced to sign bills which
give him not one dollar for carving on
elections. He can not veto appropria-
ton bills for what they do not contain,
and 1t will be useless for him to ask for
more than Is given. 1t will not be
well, either, for him or John Sherman,
or Devens, to divert the funds voted to
any other purpose than that designated.
Nor will 1t be healthy for them to do
the business on credit. If the Republi-
can party must have all this money and
all this machinery TO enable them to
carry elections, let the committees go
down in the pockets of the office
holders, or draw ON the national banks.
Mr.. Hayes himself has now drawn
nearly $780, 900 from the Treasury that
does not belong to him. He can afford
to contribute at least half of it for the
benefit Of his party.
1t seems that his fraudulency's senti-

Warm weather. No weddings since
our last, but we are predicting another
soon.
o. L. Bowen, of the Hill, takes leave
to day for west Tennessee, where we
learn he is called away on very urgent
buiness, and will likely remain but a
few weeks, we regret that.
We regret very much this week to
chronicle the death of Miss Laura
French, which occurred on the morn
ing of the 9Th. The deceased was a
daughterof Mrs. Nancy French, the sur
viving widow of David French. The
deceased was about twenty years ofage,
and loving daughter, esteemed by ali
that knew her, the remains were
brought to Mt. Carmel on Sunday
morning, and after the funerel services,
by the Rev. James Stewart, the coffin
was opened that all might see the re-
mains of the fair young dead for the
last time. The corpse was dressed in
white (emblematical of her pure SOUL
and which garb she had her friends
prepare some weeks prior to her death.
The disease of which she suffered long
and severely was the dreaded one, con-
sumption, which was borne with true
christian fortitude. The remains were
laid away in the church yard at Mt.

Farmers seem to be in very high
spirits in this part of the county, and
pushing along with that systematic en-
ergy which rarely fails to insure success.
The wheat crop is very promising and
the yield of this season, it's presumed,
will be unusually copious, provided no
disaster should befall it before il reaches
maturity. The oat crop will be very
light. Not more than half of an aver
age crop of tobacco will be set, corn
crop is looking 6pe.

ITO the Editor of the Courier-Journal.l
In 1874 was nominated by Demo-
cratic Convention as a candidate for
Circuit Judge. 1t was charged that l
was ineligible to the Office, and that for
the purpose of destroying the proof OF
my ineligibility, and of establishing my
false claim that was eligible, mutila-
ted, or caused to be mutilated, certain
records of the Circuit and County Courts
of Rowan county.
Out of respect for that portion of the
people of Kentucky who are not famil-
lar with the persons who originally con-
cocted this charge and have recently re-
vived and circulated it, nor with the
facts as known to those who know the
parties and witnesses to this assault upon
me, do now solemnly declare that the
charge, i'm whatsoever form or by whom
sOever made or insinuated, is false.
do further denounce those who have
heretofore made, and those who do
hereafter circulate this charge, as will
full calumniators. As my only answer
to the charge, 1 declare that / was eli
gible to the Office of Circuit Judge at
the election in August 1874, and there
fore was wholly without motive to COM
init the crime charged. In proof of my
eligibility 1 submit the following papers:
