The election passed off very quietly last
week, resulting in the election of the entire
Democratic ticket except the Representa-
tive. Elsewhere we give complete state
ment of the vote from which it will be seen
that Davis beat Parker thirty votes. The
public need not regard the election of Davis
as test of the strength of the Greenback
party in this county, for many Democrats
worked hard to elect Davis and many others
voted for him on the score of friendship and
personal favor.

Legislature on joint ballot at least three
fourths majority. The few Independents

that body-wiIl feel rather lonesome. Sena-

for the decree has gone forth that he will
not misrepresent Mississippi longer than

No TRUER UTTERANCE has been made
by the press than that of the New York
Herald, in the remark that
"There could not be more senseless
craze than that of the impulsiye and
brainless portion of the Democrats In
Congress as to the employment of Fed
eral soldiers at the polls. The President
explicitly acknowledges that he is for
hidden by law to use them for that pur-
pose, and the fact that he is destitute of
soldiers which he could so employ, even
if he possessed the authority, shows how
wild and chimerical are the Democratic
fears ON this head"
In the face of these facts, and the
Presidents acknowledgment that, under
the laws as they stand, "there can be no
military interference with the elections, -
the professed apprehension of the bayo-
net at the polls becomes absolutely lu-
dicrous. The fact is, the Democratic
politicians in Congress are badly in want
of some issue on which they can unite
and consolidate the party. They have
failed to make it on financial questions !;
they have failed on the fraud hue and
cry; and their last desperate attempt to
get up an issue where none exists has
been exploded by the President before it
had time to get in motion.
If they will abandon this stupid pre-
text and go before the people on the
proposition to break down all the civil
safeguards thrown by Congress about the
ballOt-bOx in elections for Representa-
tives, they will have an issue undoubt-
edly; but they are already caucusing to
avoid that.-Cin. Commercial.

THE appearance of Secretary Sherman
at Mansfield, for the purpose of laying a
fence-worm on his farm, near that place,
has brought troubled visions to the
Democratic managers of the gubernato-
rial campaign. John G. Thompson re-
leased his charge of the Brigadiers at
Washington and hied off to Columbus,
and sounded the note of alarm, which
brought together few of the most
trusted, for consultation. 1t turns out
that the whole business was little piece
of Jongee's strategy to compel Thurman
to run for Governor, and force Rice and
Bishop off the track.

WHAT is it to "refuse supplies" as the
Democratic statesmen call the omission
to pass the appropriation bills? 1t is to
stop the pay, subsistence, military sup
plies, and transportation of the army,
while it is scattered over the great West
watching the Indians. Is it to force the
army to disband? 1t is to refuse money
to carry ON the United States Courts, to
summon and fee witnesses, to pay
jurors, and thereby to suspend the adj
ministration of justice. 1t is to stop
the pay of the revenue officers, and sus-
pend the collection of revenue. 1t is to
stop the pay of Congressman and the ex-
penses of Congress, the public printing,
etc. 1t is to stop the pay of all civil Of
ficers in the POstoffice, the revenue, and
the judiciary service. 1t is to place the
whole government in state of suspend
ed animation. Where in all this is there
any penalty on the President that can
be menace to him in case he does not
abandon his function in the legislation
of CongressP 1t is simply a menace to
the cOuntry.-[Cin. Gaz.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DA1N in the right side, under the
i 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 i;
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
fer rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
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; he 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-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
BEWARE OF INVITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the lid,
with the impression DR.. MCLANE's LIVER
PILLS.
The genuine McLANk's LIVER PILLS bear
the signatures of c. McLANE and FLEMING

ing Bros, of Pittsburgh, Pa, the market being

THE State Christian Temperance Con-
vention Friday, at Akron, adopted the
resolutions presented by General Ed. s.
Mercer, Of Cleveland, that as the attain
ing of prohibition by separate party
seems impracticable for many years to
come, we deem it our duty to support
measures now being taken by earnest
Christian men to obtain, such local pro-
hibation as will, if adopted. once, pro-
hibit the traffic in more than half the
counties of the State. That through the
operation ola sound local option law,
public sentiment would be SO aroused as
to the advantages resulting from prohi-
bition in decreasing crime, pauperism,
taxation and all other evils resulting
from the use of intoxicating liquors in
those counties. BY adopting such law
prohibition would be finally adopted in
the State in many years less than it
would take to build up distinct party
10 accomplish the same end.
