Dr.. ScHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
Do not produce sickness at the stomach, nausea
or gripping. On the contrary, they mild AND
agreeable in their action that a person suffering
with sick headache, sour stomach, pain il the
bowels, lie speedily relieved of these distressing
symptoms. They act directly on the liver the
organ which, when in q healthy condition, purifes
the blood of the whole body.
They are perfect preparation of that great and
well-known remedy, Mandrake Podophyllin, g
remeo that oas displaced the of mercury, as
well as many other poisonous drugs in the practice
of every intelligent physician.
Prof. John King, of the College of Medicine, of
Cincinnati, says: I'm Constipation it acts upon
the bowels without dispOsing them to subsequent
costiveness. In Chronic Liver Complaint there Is
vastly more useful than mercuriaI agents arousing
the liver to healthy action, increasing the flow
of bile, and keeping up these actions longer than
any other agent with which we acquainted.'-

The Ladies Aid Society of Trinity

ulations on the great success of their
festival which closed on Friday night last,
and it is admitted on all sides that they
fully sustained their reputation for their
good taste and special abilities for such
things. The stage entertainments, on
both nights, were unusually well given for
amateurs. especially on Fridag night, but
the "Marchioness" on Thursday night was
Gust splendid On both nights the
applause was as hearty as it was well
deserved. Such entertainments are not
gotten ups without great labor of mind
aud body. and the ladies who managed
this affair and worked it out, have
received many compliments for the taste
and skill displayed by them in producing
such satisfactory results in all its depart

Our Tenure or Life

Depends in great measure upon our regard
for or neglect of the laws of health. If VIC
violate them we cannot expect to ''make
old bones" But that the span of existence
allotted to naturally delicate constitution,
or one which has been shaken by disease
mny be materially heightened, is fact of
which we heve daily proof Tho vivifying
or restorative influence Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters upon failing physique
affords a'striking illustration of the power
of judicious medication to strengthen the
hold on life. Restored digestion, complete
assimilation, renewed appetite, sound re-
pose, these are among the benefits con-
ferred upon the debilitated by that gu
preme renovant. With q circulation en-
riched, frame invigoratcd and nervous
system tranquilizcd, The invalid, after q
course of the Bitters, feels that his life
tenure is no longer the precarious thing
that it was--thnt he may yet enjoy "green
old age"

There is said to be petition, signed by
many Democrats, in circulation to be
presented to the Governor for the pardon
Of Cardoza and Smalls. These individ-
uals have been fairly convicted of crimes
while in Office during the Hush days Of
Radicalism by jurics composed of both
white and colored citizens. They are
both intelligent men and representative
men of their race. They were leaders,
and under all the circumstances we can
not SEQ single circumstance to mitigate
their crimes. They are both bad and
vindictivc men, who have used their edu-
cation and influence to mislead the col
ored people and stir up strife between
tho races in South Carolina for the pur-
pose of giving themselves the opportu-
nifty to grow rich by fraud and corrup-
ton in Office. If there ever were two
acamps who deserve to be punished by q
justice-loving and law-abiding people
these gro tho men, and the citizen,
whether he be q Democrat or Repub-
lican, who can sign petition for execu-
tive cleinency in their cases, must have
very loose views of the iniquity CT bribery
and corruption in Office. If any petition
is presented for their pardon, ii, with she
signatures thereto, should be published
in order that the people of South Caro-
lima may know who desires the liberia
tion Of two of the greatest rascals that
were developed in the days when it was
fashionable to find rascals in high places.
To grant them a pardon would in our
opinion be a grievous mistake. for, liks
L. Cass Carpenter, they would only leave
to curse the government which would
give them liberty. We have no idea
that Gov. Simpson would grant any par
don, for his sense of duty will no doubt
lead him tn Yinyv the easa of the.e ..,e..
as very serious one, growing out of the
commlsaion of grave and inexcusable
crimes. If we continue to punish petty
thieves, tho rich and influential ones
should not be turned free without any
reward for their crimes. Let Cardozo
and Smalla lead the ven of Radical State
officers TO the penitontiary, and Chamber.

day. Justice will then have begun to
fall npon the most guilty heads.

Germ in Utah, and delegations of men
and women have been sent to Washing
ton from that territory to inteyceae &c.
the polygamists. The men have been
looking after the President eud D.ambers
OF Congress, while tho women have been
paying their addresses to Mrs. Hayes,
and urging her interccssion in their be-
half. One Of the members of this COM
mittce is a daughter of the lato Brigham
Young. They ask of Congress for thoir
people amnesty for all violations of tue
act of 1862. and such legislation as will
legitimatize their children beyond all
question, keep their names from being
dishonored, and preserve unbrokcn the
relationship of families as they now ex-
ist." Such requests are in accordance
with humanity, and as these people have
committed the crimc of bigamy IL the
infatuation and zeal OF an heretical re.
ligion, it is but right that the past should
be forgiven them, and their families
shielded from the dishonor and disad-
vantages that would attend the enforce
ment Of the act in cases which occurred
previous to the decision Of the Supreme
Court. The idea of calling officially on
the lady Of the White House is, however,
novel proceeding to say tho least Of it,
and is probably without parallel in the
history of our government. 1t has given
rise to considerable comment, and every
where the people Of the United States
want to know whether the government is
controlled by the man or the lady of tho
| White House. Some enterprising rcpor-
ter ought to interview Mrs. Hayes, and
let us know what her views are in regard
TO Mormonisln. We thought that the
country has two presidents at this time
one OR. Tilden) is president de .jure, and
the other (Mr. Haycs) is de .facto presi-
dent through fraud; but now it seen
that we are still more fortunate as ma
ton, for we not only have q president
de jure, but two presidents de .fdcto
Hereafter communications to the Chief
Executive of the United States should

According to tho Augusta Chronicle
and Constiiutionahst the majority of the
Republicans in the United States Senate
in 1870 was 45; in 1871 was so; in 1872
was 46; in 1873 was IS; in 1874 was IS; ;
in 1876 was 33; in 1876 was 13; in 1877
was II {; in 1878 was 2, counting Judge
Davis with the Democrats. After tho
Attn cf next month the Republicans lose
the control of the Senate, and the Demo-
Gratis take charge with the comfortable
majority of 10. Both branches Of Con-
gress will then be Democratic, and after
18 years of Radicalism the legislation of
the country will once moro be shaped by
the Democrats, and after the election of
1880 we will not only have both branches
of Congress, but the Presidency also, un-
less present indications fail us. The
country will then witness return to
good and economical government.

The latest caprice Of General Grant, if
the newspaper accounts are to be be-
lieved, is to return home and be assigned
the position of head Of the army for life,
with the rank of Marshal. He is quoted
as not caring for the Presidency if such
position should be assigned him. Cen
cral Grant feels that America owes him
living, and tho salary is all that lie
cares for. If he can get position for
life he will take It, or if necessary hc will
take the Presidency again to get tho
money he wants. There is some doubt,
however, about the people giving him
either place. The General must remcm-
Der that Republics are ungratefnl, and il
he does not get all of tho rewards he
would like, still he can console himself
with the reflection that he has already
had great deal more than he deserved.

1t is said chat during the present year
fifteen thousand Mennonites will settle
in the Western portion of tho United
States, coming hither from Russia.
They are German Baptists, ,,ho have
conscientious acruples against fighting,
and have IN to this time for many years
resided rs q colony in Russia, where
through their ancestors they have been
granted immunity from any military
duty. This guarantee has been removed
by the Russian government, and honce
they are moving out to country where
both civil and religious liberty prevail.
We presume that the reason they select
the United States is that they feel that
they v Ill have NO fighting to do here
whetht thev are especially exempt OF
not, for :. nation which will allow its
Presidency to be stolen and occupied by
the party taking it without showing any
resistance is composed of such meek peo-
pie that they will not fight over any
thing.
