THE ARMY BILL DISCUSSED.

Warrington, April l2.-Ata we'll attend
ed caucus Of the republican senators this Of
tsrnoon to interchange views concerning Ii,
course of the minority in regard to the army
appropriation bill, no formal action VA
taken, but it was agreed that every possible
effort should be made to defeat the passage
of the bill in its present shape for reasons
mainly that the enactment Of the sixth sec.
ton would prevent the use of . posse com
mitatus 1t elections for the execution Of civil
processes of any and all descriptions Issued
BY United States authority. Several other
provisions of the bill were also considered
very Objectionable and in need Of essential
amendments, among them the clauses which
prohibit appointments and promotions In the
army until otherwise provided BY Law, while
At the same time the bill holds out induce.
msnts for the creation of additional vacan.
cies BY providing that all officers hereafter
retired By reason Of wounds shall be retired
upon the highest ranks respectively held by
them in the regular or volunteer service be.
fore retirement.
A number Of senators expressed their be-
lief that the purpose of these provisions ia
to pave the way for the appointment into the
army of friends of the dominant party in
congress, although no propositions were for
mally adopted. Several amendments to the
9Th section, of which notice has been given
in the senate, were spoken of with general
favsr, especially those submitted by Messrs.
Blaine and Paddock.
From the tenor Of the remarks it seem,
probable many speeches will be made upon
the army bill.

DIR. H. r. STEVENS =
Dear Sir-I feel very grateful for what your
valuable medicine, Vegetine. has done in my
family. l wish to express my thanks by inform
ing you of the wonderful cure Of my son also,
to let you know that vegetine is the best medi-
cine 1 ever saw for Chuks, Shakes, Fever and
Ague. My son was sick with measles in 1873,
which left him with Hip-jotnt disease, Ny son
suffered a great deal of pain. all Of the time the
pain was SO great he did nothing but cry. The
doctors did not help him a particle, he could not
lift his foot from the floor, he could not move
without clutches: l read your advertisement in
was a great Blood Purifier and Blood Food. I
tried one bottle, which was a great benefit. He
kept on with the medicine, gradually gaining.
He has taken eighteen bottles in all, and he Is
completely restored to health, walks without
clutches or cane. He is twenty years of age. 1
have a younger sbn, fifteen years of age, who is
subject to Chils. Whenever he feels one COM
ing on, he comes in, takes a dose of Vegetine,
and that is the last ofthe Chill. Vegetine leaves
no bad effect upOn the system like most Of the
medicines recommended for Chilb. I cheerful
ly recommend Vegetine for such complaints. l
think 1t Is the greatest medicine in the world.
Respectfully, MRS. j. w. LLOYD.
vEGET1NE.-When the blood becomes lifeless
and stagnant, either from change of weather or
OF climate, want Of exercise, irregular diet, 'or
from any other cause, the VEGETINE will renew

the stomach, regulate the bowels, and impart a
