REMARKABLE. - John Hunt, of Proyi-
dence, K. l., found himself seized with 4
general dropsy. His body swelled 10 an
enormous size; he could not lie down, and
death seemed inevitable. His kidneys were
also badly affected. The services OF a
renowned physician were secured, and a
prescription was made after a thorough
examination. Mr.. Hunt began TO improve
at once, and after time was restored 10
perfect health. The family used the med
icine in similar cases with the same results.
They named it HUNTS Remedy, the Great
Kidney and Liver Medicine, and it is now
sold by all druggists. Trial size, 20 cents.

ANOTHER DEMAGoGuE.-Mr. Cofirotl

ANOTHER DEMAGoGUE.-Mr. Cofiroth OF
Pennsylvania. Democrat, has brought for
ward a measure which under the title OF
"a bin to relieve certain drafted men pro-
vides for very heavy raid upon the Treas
ury, as it is no more or less than meas
ure designed TO pay every man who was
drafted during the late war and paid the
communication fee of $500, or who furnished
substitute, the sum of $500. Why the
bill should discriminate against the men
who were drafted and went into the service
without bounty it is impossible to say
Perhaps Mr.. Coffroth can explain. This
bill is on par with the measure proposed
by Mr.. Weaver, which provides that the
soldiers Of the late war shall be paid the
difference between the value Of the green
back in which they were paid, and coin at
that time. There is no danger that either
measure will ever become a law.

(sl, 500 are 10 be applied TO the erection
of monument 10 the memory OF the au-
thor of the age of Reason" The New

just and appropriate epitaph;
To the memory of
The man OF whom John Adams,
President of the United states,
recorded this opinion:
"worthless." "unprincipled,' "prohigate,"
"blackguard Paine;"
The man who wrote letter TO
GEORGE WASHINGTON,
and thus addressed the Father of his Country !:
.sTreacherous in private friendship and hypo-
critic in public life, the world Will be puzzled
10 decide whether you are an apostate or an
impostor."
This cenoiaph Is erected 10 Thomas Paine by
tho munifcent liberality of his friend and
admirer Colonel Robert Ingersoll.

The Administration

apparently Is about to be afforded a
frst-rate opportunity to stifien up
that celebrated backbone, and to
show the quality of which it is made.
The President and the Secretary of
War have been talking the matter
over, and have arrived at the intelli.
gent conclusion that some of the
officers who are on staff duty at
Washington might as well take their
turn at the rough service Of the
plains, and afford the officers who
have been campaigning chance to
luxuriate in the delights Of Washing
ton and recreate themselves with the
the easier and more agreeable duties
that there abound The prospect of
new deal has, as matter Of course
greatly excited the officers stationed
at Washington, and, as our cores
pondent states, they are preparing
for a determined resistance to the
supposed plans of the President and
Secretary of War. To those who
have only theoretical knowledge of
our military affairs, it might appear
that the carrying out of such n
scheme as that which the President
and the Secretary have been discuss.
ing would be the the easiest matter
in the world. The President and the
Secretary have all the legal authority
necessary for them to enforce their
wishes, and if they say to an officer
go, he is bound to 90; or come. and
he is bound to come. Practically
however, good many officers of the
army are, with regard to many mat
tiers, the superiors of their superior,
-leastways they have been in the
past, and it is reasonable to assum,
that they will be in the present
Consequently, if the gentlemen ol
staff duty in Washington who don
want to 60 to the plains undertake t
make a determined resistance the
will, if precedents are of any yalu,
succeed in accomplishing their end
There need be no trouble, however
and there will be none, if only tn
stiffening in the administration bacl
bone is stiff enough. The quality {
that stiffening we shall know NOR
about acknowledgement.

3 JACOB MOORE. ESQ.,, of the SUSSEX
county bar, is quoted as saying the
late disgraceful quarrel in the Radical
Convention at Dover, will do the Re-
publican party good. Mr.. M. was not
present; as he is one of the {" war con-
verts" to that party, and may be in
the next convention, of course, anoth-
or row may be expected in order to do
more good" in that line. A great
deal of such "good" will have to be
done before disgust for the negro pro-
clivities Of the Republican party will
''touch bottom" in Delaware.

Facts About The South.
OF A FAIR-MINDED
NORTHERN CLERGYMAN.

OBSERVATIONS, OF A. FAIR-MINDED
NORTHERN CLERGYMAN.
At the Washington Square Methodist
Episcopal Church, New Yoik, las even
ing, the Rev. DR.. W. f. Hatfield told
about his recent visit to the South, Civ
ing his "Impressions of the country and
the people," Some of the passages in the
sermon were as follows:-
The agricultural aud mineral re-
sources of the South are immense. Fine
farms can be bought there at prices so
| low that almost any man can own one,
and help can be obtained at much lower
wages than in the North. Young meu,
and those having large families, who
with difficulty earn living here, should
by all means go South and buy farms.
II is mistake to suppose that Northern
people are not wanted there. Some are
not wanted-those who boast gIeat
deal; who think the Southerners don't
know anything; that all tue learning
and wealth are in the North; who go
down there to tell them that the Union
soldiers whipped them in battle, and
that black man Is as good as white
man. Such are not wanted; but EARNEST,
industrious, enterprising men will be
kindly received. In regard to the polit-
ical situation In the South, so far US my
observation went, there is great deal
more agitation in regard to the coming
election in the North than in the South.
The fact is, the better class of people in
the Southern States have suffered so
severely in The loss Of their property and
friends in the late war, which they be-
lieve to have been brought about largely
through the Vaccinations of politicians
North and South, that tie very pame of
politician Is offensive TO them, aud the
person bearing that name no longer oc-
cupies the position that he did before
and during the days Of the Cont deracy.
The fact is, that If fifty Of the politicians
in the South and hundred of those of
the North could be transported TO Siberia
or Botany Bay, 1t would be one Of the
greatest blessings that could be conferred
upon our county; for so long as these
agitators, these restless and dissatisfied
spirits. are in the nation, they will keep
the country in commotion.
That is an excellent idea OF the cler-
gyman, and it would no doubt give
relief to many persons. But who is TO
have it carried out? Now, it would be
jus: be The thing to please the Delaware
factionIsts if Messrs. Levi Z. Bird,

A FAITHFUL OFFIcER.-Being in
the Office of the Clerk of the City
Council few days ago to look over
the assessment lists, that officer took
the opportunity to show us the way
the books of the city had been kept
by previous clerks, and The manner in
which they were kept by himself.
There are a number of books and
among them one called the Glen
book, " upon which liens to the amount
of about $40, 900 were entered. The
manner in which these important
books were kept by clerks for num-
Der of years was disgrace to the
city and we are astonished that such
gentlemen as VIM. NJ. Candy, VIM
Candy, John Adams, John G. Baker
and s. A. Price would have permitted
the books to be SO kept during tn,
many years they were in that BODY
Certainly the Councilmen must hay,
had great difficulty to find anything
they wanted on the books connected
with their duties. Now all is changed
The books are kept in the best man.
ner-whole volumes without a blot
blur or erasure. Even the minutes O
the meetings are indexed and every
book and public paper in reference t.
the city in proper place where
may be referred to at once. Mr.
Frazer's work shows energy and in
dustry as well as his capacity ant
fitness. We do not say he has don,
any more than his duty nor does h,
so claim. And we only note the fac
OF his superior fitness for the position
because he had been denounced an,
abused in the most shameful name
about the time of his selection for th
clerkship. Certainly the Democrati
Councilmen have shown wisdom i,
discarding this censure and abuse an,
choosing such an invaluable office
compared with his indolent and in
competent predecessors.

RAILROAD MoNoPoLIEs.-The Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
r. R. Company, it is now said has
purchased the West Chester and
Philadelphia Railroad. This is of
course to prevent opposition and to
control the travel and the freighting
business. Railroading has assumed
the shape Of business in this coun-
try within the past ten or fifteen
years. The great companies have
been absorbing the short lines and
such lines as run parallel with them,
thus crushing out opposition. 1t will
readily be seen how money can be
made and expenses contracted where
several roads are under one manage
ment ; and what vast sum is often
placed in the pockets of stockholders
- where, after such transfer compe-
tition is checked, and shares rise from
$50 to $50 under the pledge of an
eight or ten per cent. dividend guaran-
teed. There is no doubt that a vast
amount of money can be saved by
one Company managing the business
that is done by several. But it
is questionable whether the public
will be any better served. In this
matter, however, so far there seems
to have been an improvement of late.
But whether this improvement would
not have been still greater had the
consolidation of lines not taken
place is still an unsettled matter.
