THE new law which went into effect on
April 1st, will enable persons having ter
dollars to become a bondholder and cred
itor of the government. The certificates
10 be issued will bear interest at the
,ate of 1865 per cent. per annum, and
ere to be exchangeable in sums of $10C
or multiples thereof for 4 per cent
bonds, Virtually, the government of
fers to become savings bank for de-
positors until they save not less than a
hundred dollars each, and give them 4
per cent for their accumulations. There
is a large amount ofmoney in the aggre-
gate held by people who are not individ-
ually able to buy fifty-dollar bond, but
who will now have chance by econo-
my to make investments in national Sc
curities. 1t is not likely, however, that
there will be rush for the new certifi-
Gates. AS much or more than per
cent can be obtained for money, even in
small sums, and although high interest
is usually accompanied with risk for the
principal, there are many people who will
incur the hazard for the sake of the
prospective reward.

instrument provides that the President
shall have the power to veto any bill of
which he disapproves. The revolution
ary faction declares that if he exercises
his constitutional right and duty they
will put stop to the whole machinery
of government. They will force him to
abdicate one of his most important func-
tions. They condescend to no argument.
They propose to settle this question by
brute force. So be it. AlldifferenceS as
to the intrinsic dement's of any particular
measure become insignificant by COM
parison with this attempt to subvert the
fundamental law of the land and to
change this Government from free,
constitutional republic into an absolute
mob democracy, which is the worst OF
despotisms. Whatever the consequent
ces, the party of the Constitution will

THE Democratic party is digging its
own grave with all the energy worthy OF
so good cause. A motion made on
Friday, by Mr.. Springer, of Illinois
whose appearance as leader is usually
the signal for some disgraceful OF
undignifed performance, leaves little
doubt that the majority in the House
intend to strengthen their narrow mar
gin by an outrage which would cast the
Colorado fraud far into the shade. 1t is
actually proposed, if Fridays action is a
safe indication, to seat as member of
the House of Representatives from the
Republican State of Iowa Democrat
who received $50 votes at bogus elec-
tion held in November, the regular
election having been held in October,
and the usual number of votes in that
district being 10000. If the Democratic
party is strong enough to prosper on
such crime as this, it must be a very
strong party indeed-strong enough to
resist the indignation of honest men of
both parties throughout the country,
strong enough to win in spite of an in
famous record and in the face of full
exposure. If the Democrats count on
doing this, they overestimate their own
resources and underestimate the vitali-
ty of the American conscience. The
Iowa outrage, should it be perpetrated,
would attract far more attention than
the Colorado case. Iowa is nearer the
center of population, the fraud would
be grosser and more brazen. The result
of the Colorado outrage was that that
young State gave much larger Repub-
lican majority than before, but if Mr..
Springer leads his party to the end of the
road on which they have started to-
gether, the result will not be confined to
the State of Iowa.-N. Y. Tribune.

NEWARK FIRE.
The Fine Licking County Court
House i'm Ruins---LOss $4,000.

About noon on Saturday the smoke
was seen coming from the clock tower
of the new Court House at Newark.
The Fire Department was promptly on
hand, but the flames were up in the bel
fry and beyond their reach, so that the
water could not be of service till the fire
had communicated to the main part OF
the building, and then it speedily gained
headway. Immense crowds gathered
about to witness the conhagrati0I and
the Newark Guards wer- c;tii;;.i ont to
hold the crowd at bay Ta2 NUiG
Fire Department was telegrdpAed and
Capt. Heinmiller with four men, an en-
gine AMI hose cart, arrived shortly b =
fore o'clock. BY the hard efforts of
the fremen of both cities the fire was
soon under control. The tower and the
attic story were completely destroyed
and the second story considerably dam
aged, The first story and the walls re-
main, so that the building can be re-
paired. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
while there is an insurance of $4,000 on
the building. There are several theo-
ries as to the origin of the fire, but it is
generally supposed to be the work of an
incendiarv, and some state that it was
for the purpose of destroying the county
records. Another theory aScribes the
cause to defective flue.
1t is stated on the best authority that
the fire started in the attic and thence to
the belfry, where it first made headway.
The public records were all saved, and
but little in the building that was valua-
BILE was destroyed. The main damage
was the building and this is bad enough.
The new Court House was the pride of
Newark and Licking county, and it was
grand structure. This is the fourth
Court House the county has had and the
third destroyed or damaged by fire. The
building was dedicated last October
with imposing ceremonies. 1t cost

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAM IN the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are coS;ive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought 10 have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS ard debility; he is easily
startled, Lis feet are cold or burning,
and be complains Of prickfy sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely Summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
