Dr. SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, unlike al
other Cough, Cold and Consumption remedies,
CONTAINS NO OPIUM other narcotic. 1t does not
dry up a cough or increase the Inflammation as
these preparations are almost sure to do. Dr.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup loosens the phlegm and
corrupt matter in the lungs and assists nature 10
.xpel the disease from the system. Its healing and
soothing properties are wonderful. 1t makes new
blood and builds up the debilitated constitution.

ReSolred, That we congratulate the

Portable as they can be made bv the

the opinion that our county buildings are
entirely lndadequate to the wants of this
county, which is rapidly increasing in
population. That means should at once
be devised to either enlarge the present
county buildings or to build new
county infirmary for the safety and com
fort OF those who have been SO unfortunate
as to become county charges. That the
thanks of this Board are due to Super
visors Zimmerman, Sayre and Coffeen,
Committee on Poor Farm, for
their attention and care of the same.
We understand that it is the intention
of Mr.. Bailey to resign the Superinten

Commenting on the President 5

u =
Commenting on the President 5
veto of the army bill, the New York
Star SAYS: The Presidents mes
sage will be a campaign document
for which our Democratic friends
have great reason to thank him, and
of which all rejecting Republicans
have great reason to be ashamed.
The New York Sua says: The
provision in this bill which the
President vetoed is WISE necessary
and Indispensable. 1t can not safe
ly be abandoned. 1t must be in
sisted upon. 1t is vain i'll this coun-
try for minority to attempt to rule
the majority. The many can not
be coerced by the few. -
The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
1t is wholly without precedent in
our history. 1t Is without warrant
in the spirit of the constitution, and
the spirit of the veto is in direct
conflict with the letter of the con-
stitution and is shamelessly hostile
to the doctrine of independence.
The President serves notice on the
country that the army can not be
paid unless he and his are permit
ted to use it at the polls to control
elections.

PROTECTING THE INDIANS. Secre-
tary McCrary has issued orders to
Gen. Pope, to furnish the necessary
force aud make such disposition OF
it as will secure the rigid enforce
ment of the Presidents proclama-
ton, issued on Saturday last, for
bidding the invasion of the In 1ian
Territory, and to remove all tres
passers therefrom. The Govern
ment is determined to protect the
Indians in all their rights, not only
in the Indian Territory, but on the
outside of it. The force now in the
vicinity of the Indian Territory is
considered sufficient for the pur-
pose.

A large number of ordinances and
resolutions were introduced in the
Constitutional Convention during
the past week. The State debt and
suffrage questions attracted the
most attention. All questions con-
corning the State debt were referred
to the. special Committee on the
Bonded Debt, a majority of whom
are scalers, although an affort was
made to refer several resolutions on
the subject to the Finance Com
mittee. On the subject of the cleo
tive franchise, a number of articles
have been introduced, some favor
ing a continuance of the present
universal system of suffrage; bHt it
is believed that "a majority of the
delegates are in favor of imposing
certain restrictions, some favoring
property qualifications, and others
education, while others favor law
requiring all voters to pay up their
taxes before voting.

A SONG.

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight is cleaning far DER the sea:
Come then with me, love,
While bright stars above
Shine in their glory, lighting the sea,
Beaming so softly on you and me!
Beautiful dreamer, The sea-bird's cry
Calls thee to view the nights starry sky:
Soft winds are signing,
Night torches lighting
The path thro' groves to the sands o the
Where oft I've strolled, hand in hand
with thee
Beautiful dreamer! The moons glad

Guides whip-poor-will in her midnight
flight,
And falls soft DER me,
Wandering by the sea
Come, dreamer mine rise in thy beauty,
Let thine eyes match stars in their glory.

While the colored people of the
South are considering the question
of exodusting to Kansas in colonies,
and leave the white people to cul-
tlvate their own cotton and sugar
the question presents itself, how
will the South supply herself with
the necessary labor to fill their
places after they have gone(?) Only
a comparatively small number Of
foreign immigrants have come to the
South in Years past, because the
idea prevailed among them that the
sugar and cotton growing States
were already overcrowded with
laborers. But when the demand
for them arises, the want will soon
be supplied. 1t is anticipated that
there will be a large increase in i'm
migration to the United States this
year. An emigrant society having
branches in Norway and Sweden re-
ports unusually great preparation
for making scandinavion move
ment in this direction.
A large number of immigrants
are also expected from Ireland and
England, where thousands of mill
operatives declare they are unable
to make a living, and they must
emigrate.
Large immigration societies have
been formed in Southern Germany,
where much distress prevails, and
thousands of Russian Mennonites
are also expected to come to the
United States during the year, ow-
ing to the fact that Russian edict
has been promulgated which COM
pels them to do military duty after
1880.
Immigration has begun at an I'M
usually early date. The steamship
City of Richmond arrived in New
York last Tuesday with 75S immi-
grants. 1t is thought that at least
100, 900 will arrive before January
next. Now is the time for the
South to organize immigration
societies and send agents forth to
meet these strangers, if Sue wishes
70 turn the tide of Immigration in /
his direction. Our fertile soil and /
delightful, semi-tropical climate,
together with the vacancies on our
cotton and sugar plantations, if the
threatened negro exodus transpires,
will be sufficient to induce thousands
o seek homes in our midst.
