Can't be Put Down That Way.

Special Dispatch to The Cineinnati Gl-c,tc.
WAsRIsGToN, May 2.
The Democratic Congressman who
have thought to put down the Okolona
States by jeers and denunciation, will
live to regret their folly. The editors of
that paper contribute to the first number
of the National View, the new Green
back organ, a card, personal to them
selves, which will be interesting reading
to the Democracy. Among other things
the editors of the Southern States say:
"The Southern States newspaper was
founded on the 10Th of March, 1872. by
Capt. James A Glanville and Col. A. Y.
Harper. Both were Confederate officers
in the late civil war. The States stand
to-day precisely where it stood on the
10th Of March, 1879. 1t has never
swerved from the utterances in its initial
issue. 1t has at all times, and under all
circumstances, advocated the principles
of State Sovereignty, and called for the
unconditional repeal or the 14th and 18th
amendments. 1t has always been recog-
nized from first to last as Democratic
paper by the press, politicians and the
people. The charge that either of the
editors of the States is a carpet bagger,
In the sense in which that term is used
and understood. is miserable subter-
fuge and shallow device that will, in the
very nature of things, be exposed, and
recoil upon the demagogues who invent
ed, and the dupes who circulate it. We
bide our time. The charge that either
of the editors of the States is in the pay
of the Republican party is SO fl l,tly con.
tradicted by the whole political record
that it is simply beneath the dignity OF
denial.

estates Office, Okolona, Miss. Apr. %, I'd"
Will the editor of the Constitution tell
Us now who Is guilty of circulating q
silly falsehood for partisan purposes,
and who was practicing the arts OF
demagogue, We agree with him that
all such efforts are now transparent, If
they were not before, and are not likely
to deceive any intelligent man.

The good Kansas citizens are doing all
in their power to provide employment
for the colored people who are focking
in such great numbers to our state. The
war for freedom commenced in Kansas
and it is only consistent position that
our state now takes when she assumes
to become an asylum for the victims of
political persecution and affords them
the protection of her powerful aegis.-

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver,

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN 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 gem
eral are costive, 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 men,
ory, accompanied with painful sem
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
a slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; ne is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly 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,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

THE gradual process of emancipation
which has for eight years been in force
in Brazil, seems to be working salts
factorily. In a recent report the min
ister of agriculture says that under this
system 4 3S3 slaves have been liberated
by the state, by purchase from the
owners, since September, 2S, 1871, the
date of VisconGe do Rio Branco's free
birth law, and the balance of the
emancipation fund in hand, collected
up to the end of 1878, will suffice to
redeem 5000 more. But he estimates
the private emancipation in the same
time at 10000, and their value at 25,-
100000 milreis-say $12,500,00O.

heads. This summer strange epidem-

apparently dying. After lying in stu

partly in the sand, sometimes for day,

manner. None of them recover, how
ever, and the shores are strewn with
dead perch, some of them very large.
