pYsPsysiA AND SICK HEADACHE

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
Dam in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure;
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 fre-
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head Is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a Gull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with a painful sensation of hav-
ing left .undone something 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 a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti--
tude enoughafo try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every 4remedy.= Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few. of them
existed, yet examination. of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

the elimination Of that question from po-
litical contests, than we do for any possible
advantage that could accrue. We would
prefer to see all political factions, for
the time being, swept into one confused
and indistinguishable mass, and political
states so broken and smashed, that no form
or order could ever be evolved from them,
than for the debt issue to remain bone of
contention between parties as now organ
lied, and the great interests of the Com
monwealth be made to suffer as they have
suffered by reason of the discussions which
have torn the State, and excited distrust of
the integrity of her motives.
With an honest purpose to Go right, indie
pendent OF party and personal ambition,

BILE difficulty to carving out way of escape

honest debts

The Presidents Message.

We surrender much of our space this
week to the Message oft the President. which
was read before Congress on Mon day last.
Previous to the meeting of Congress a COPY
had been surreptitiously obtained and sold.
the New York INES, Chicago Tribune and
CT ncinnati Gazette paying $500 each for it
and publishing it Sunday morning. Like
all OF the documents emanating from Pres
ident Hayes, the message is plain, business
like and to the point. Every department
OF government is dealt with in detail, and
ITS condition, workings, needs and promise
clearly set forth. The extreme length of
the message has made it necessary for us to
eliminate some parts of it, in which we do
not suppose our readers would feel much in
terest, as they principally relate to matters
about which the general public cares but
little.
Ihere are two points deserving of special
attention, and to these President Hayes re-
fers at considerable length, and with great
clearness. The first is the National Fl
nances. He reviews the operations and re-
suits Of Republican legislation on the mon
etary interests of the country, and points
out the course to be pursued in order to
still farther advance the nations veal, and
securely entrench her in the high position
she now occupies in the estimation of en-
lightened christendom.
The second point is civil service reform,
and in dealing with this important subject
the President clearly defines the true mean
ing of the term, and gives expression to
views which cannot fail to commend them
selves to all capable of an intelligent I'M
derstanding of the real qualifications which
go to make UP a good public servant.
Throughout, the message is an able state
paper, free from any faint of partizanism,
and eminently patriotic.

The Baltimore american seems to be
taking more rational view Of Virginia POI
itics. We can assure our contemporary that
''repudiation" was not sentiment in the
recent election. While we supported the
MeCulloch Bill, as whole, in the hope of
getting the debt controversy settled and out
Of politics, there were several Objectionable
features in it, which would not haye been
accepted by many of those at distance who
condemn the action of the Re-adjusters.
Although the side we maintained was not
successful, we have not the least doubt that
good will grow out Of the result. When the
northern press fully understands all the in
terests and motives involved in the contest,
the harsh judgment rendered against the
people of the State will be greatly modified.
There is no intention to repudiate the debt,
as will be fully demonstrated in the course
of time,

The politicians are anxious on this subject
but much more important thing for all who

Comptroller Knox, in his annual report OF
the condition of the Treasury, points out
that the success of the refunding operations
was due to the existence Of the national
banking system, which holds one-fifth of the
interest bearing debt Of the United States.
The demand for bonds as pledge for circu-
lation creates market which the govern
ment can constantly avail itself of, and
which enabled it to float the funding bonds.
Since the refunding operations began, May
l, 1871, the public debt has been decreased
sos, 100, 900, and the reduction of the annu-
al interest charge effected amounts to 49,,
607, SOY per annum. TIE total reduction in
the interest on the debt, accomplished by
reduction of the principal of the debt and
by the refunding operations. amounts to the
enormous total of $67, 2O3 .619 per annum.
These transactions, says the Baltimore Amer
can, which illumines the record of the Re-
publican party, are without a parallel in the
history of the world.

that against the Cherokee country, which was

policy. At the same time the President depricates
the proposed transfer of the Indians from the In

VIRGINIA CONTRACTORS IN KENTUCKY.
From the Greenup. ny; Independent we
take the following notice of the work, now
being done by Messrs. Mcmahon IL Green
of this city. The two Big Sandy ricer piers,
just completed, mile above Catlettsburg,
are majestical looking structures, measur-
ing "a feet in height (40x1S at base and 3lx75
at the top surmounued with tasty 2 foot
coping, representing a total of 900 yards OF
masonry and 40 feet OF coping. Mcmahon
e Green, the contractors who commenced
this work on the 1st of August, completing
it by the lst TIN only three months
time-have done an excellen. piece of work
mansbip, such as is earning the very highest
praise of experts. They are now at work on
the VIVA. L abutment, which will be COM
pleted by the end of this month: its founda-
ton, consisting of piles and concrete. extends
to below Sandy rivers low water stage, on
top ct which are to be, when finished Is feet

The foundation cribbing Of the Kentucky
abutment has been placed, and the rock work
will be started on it directly. The rock, be-
ing quarried on the w. "a. side, will be ia
ken across to the Kentucky bank by means of
two 56x12x2 flatboats, constructed for that
purpose.

REFORMING THE CIVIL SERVICE.
In former Message invited the aTten-
ton of Congress to the subject ofthe reform
alton of the civil service of the Government,
and expressed the intention Of transmitting
to Congress, as early as practicable, a re-
port upon this subject by the Chairman of
the Civil Service Comm ssion. In view of
the facts that during considerable period
the Government of Great Britain has been
dealing with administrative problems and
abuses, in various particulars analogous to
those presented in this country, and that, in
recent years, the measures adopted were I'M
derstood to have been effective and in every
respect highly satisfactory, thought it de-
sirable to haye fuller information upon the
subject, and accordingly requested the Chair
man of the Civil Service Commission to make
a thorough investigation for this purpose.
The result has been an elaborate and COM
prehensive report. The report sets forth the
history of the partisan spoils system in Great
Britain and of the rise and fall of the Par
liamentary patronage, and of official inter
ference with the freedom of elections. 1t
shows that, after long trials Of various kinds
OF examinations, those which are competi-
tive and open on equal terms to all, and
which are carried on under the superinten j.
ence OF single commission, have with great
advantage been established as conditions OF
admission to almost every official place in

The business Of the Supreme Court is at
present largely in arrears. 1t cannot be ex-
pecEec that more causes be decided than are
now disposed of in its annual session, or
that by any assiduity the distinguished mag
istrates who compose the court can accom-
plish more than Is now done In the courts
of many Of the circuits, also, the business
has increased to such an extent that the
delay of justice will call the attention of
Congress to an appropriate remedy. it is
believed that all is done In each Circuit which
can fairly be expected from its judicial force.
The evils arising from delay are less heavily
felt by the United States than BY private
suitOrs, as its causes are advanced BY the
courts when it is seen that they invoke the
discussion of questions of public character.
The remedy suggested by the Attorney
General is the appointment of additional
Circuit Judges, and the creation Of an inter-
mediate Court of Errors and Appeals, which
shall relieve the Supreme Court of part Of
It's jurisdiction, while a larger force Is also
obtained for the performance Of Circuit du-
ties. | commend this suggestion to the con-
sideration OF Congress. 1t would seem to
afford a complete remedy and would involve,
IL ten additional Circuit Judges are appoint
ed, an expenditure, at the present rate Of
salaries. of not more than 100000 year,
which would certainly be small in COMPARE
son with the objects to be attained.
