What on earth is the matter with
the liver, all at once? Why, a few
years ago some people didn't know
they had a liver, and now they can
almost tell which side It is on. Who
says the liver is at fault when your

The state Convention.

The State Executive committee,
at its late meeting in this city,
adopted resolution, calling II State
Convention for the Cd of June. In
view " the fact that the National
Convention Is called for the 22d of
June, 1t becomes necessary for us
to hold our State Convention thus
early. THIS gives the counties but
a little over two months in which
to hold their primary and county
conventions 10 send delegates to
the State Convention. The time is
short, and in view of the fact that
many of the counties may be with
out a regular organization, it be-
hooves MS all to be promptly NOV
ing and preparing for the campaign.
All counties that have existing or.
carnations should issue calls for
primary conventions at once, and
prepare for holding their county
conventions some time in May.
Those counties that have not reg.
ular existing organizations, should
prepare at once to put themselves
IN that condition by the usual meth.
DDS adopted in such cases.
At the meeting of the last Ma.
tional Convention a resolution was
adopted requesting the several
State Conventions to express their
views IN regard to the abrogatIon
OF the hoo.lhirdJ rule. The commit
tee have advised the county conven-
tions to take action in regard to
that matter, and the best way to
get at the wishes Of the people on
that point is for the primaries to in
struct their delegates to county con
ventIons and they, in turn, instruct
their delegates to the State Conven.
ton.
1t is possible that we may have q
hotly contested campaign this year,
and IT therefore behoovcs the De.
mocracy Of the State to prepare for
1t by thorough and efficient organ.
Iz1tion. If we calculate upon a
mere walk over, and maintain u
loose and inefficient organization
we may be beaten. We must pro-
pare to fight the combined forces
of the Republicans and Greenbacll-
ers, for they will certainly unite
against us on any platform we may
adopt or any ticket We may put
out; and when both these parties
ere united wc haven't such a tie.

WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, DC, Mar. Is, 1880

W ASIllNGTON, D.C., Mar. 10, looU.
Who shall be the Democratic
candidate for PRESIDENT OF the
prominent men mentioned, Sey-
mour, Tilden, Bayard, Thurman,
Hendricks and Hancock are most
in mems minds. In the South there
appears to be rapidly spreading
sentiment favorable to Hancock.
lie has also numerous admirers in
the East. An Eastern Democratic
Congressman told me the other day
that, with one exception, Hancock
would receive more votes in New
England than any other Democrat.
Mr.. Tilden, besides conceded abili-
ty and shire wdness in political man
agemcnt, has the strength that
comes from the fact, that he at the
last election received threc-quarters
of a million more votes than Mr.,
Hayes, and was elected and swim
died out Of the fruits of the elec-
ton. Mr.. Bayard, ] have reason
to believe, will, prior to the meet
ing of the convention, decline to
have his name used Mr.. Seymour
has already done so. Long public
service has made Messrs. Hendricks
and Thurman known throughout
the length and breadth of the land.
The delegates who votes for either
of them at the convention at Gin
cinnati will honor himself and his
constituents. From these four the
choice will be made. They are all
worthy. That one who can secure
most votes against Grant-the
probable radical candidate should
be made.
Now there is fuss about the pre-
posterous and unconstitutional Ma
tlonal Board of Health. 1t asks
for more power, and as necessary
consequence, more cash. This
body, given authority o"er our
country because an epidemic exist
cd in one section-chlehy in one
clty-wilI yet ask to be made de-
partment. Nobody, | suppose
| doubts the value of some of the
work of the Board, but il was given
authority the general government
had no right to give, and the sane
benefits could doubtless have been
secured in other ways. At any
rate, until experience is had it will
be we'll to let it exercise only the
powers II already has.
There was during last week a
revival Of Congressional interest
in public business, and anticipate
progress on various appropriation
bills during the present week. As
far as possible purely political mat
ters will be kept off these bills, and
out of the discussions. MEMO.

why we Are Peer.

1t is very fashionable to speak OF
the poverty and destitutlon of the
Soath. II we arc poor 1--WE might
be made poorer) there must be some
reasons tor that poverty not con
nected with our great resources. If
we are poor or pooer than we ought
to be the fault is with ourselves.
Looking at the great natural ad
vantages that surround us, the great
resources at our command there is
but little reason forgeneral and wide
spread poverty. With these unhm.
tied resources of soil, minerals tim.
Der, a genial climate, we ought to
be growing rich every day. If we
produced our own food supplies
and manufactured but tenth part
of the articles which we buy from
the North we should soon be on the
high road TO prosperity. Until we
learn to do this, we cannot expect
to become indepcndent-at best we
can only keep even. The way to
prosperity and the causes OF our
poverty, are TINS pointed out by
the Mobile Register:
ave want factories Of ever kind,
but these factories must have pat
ronagc, and, like charity, this pat.
ronage must begin at home. We
fall to become rich because we must
have everything from the North.
We plow our crops with Northern
made plows, hitch out teams with
Northern made harness, cut our
wood with Northern made axes,
dress our lumber with Northern
made planes, drive our Northern
nails with n Northern made ham
mer, and pant our houses with a
Northern made brush dipped in
Northern paint.
In short, we are rocked in North
ern made swaddling clothes, suck
our raps of Northern made corn
starch, through a Northern made
nipple. from a Northern bottle
We are educated from Northern
books, are healed with Northern
physic, and being gently laid in a
Northern made coffin, our minis
ters, clothed IN Northern made
clothes, takes our funeral text from
IL Northern made Bible, and loving
hands in Northern made gloves
lower us by means OF II Northern
made rope into "a Southern grave
and our last resting place Is mar ked
10y II tombstone guarrled, dressed
aad probably carved ut the North
This policy is not the true one.
We must manufacture and patron.
ize home Institutions before we can
become the porous people that
We ought to be. And please under
stand that we do not intend this as
Il fling at the North-nothing OF
the kind. We want the North to
prosper; we want to see II reign OF
prosperity in all sections Of our
common country; but 1t is every
fellow for himself, you know. Let
the North develop all her natural
advantages ; it is her duty to do so,
while at the same time, it Is our
duty to develop ours. .'-Arkansaw

collect a tax for street purposes,
and that the people of tins corpora.

under the present ordinance, or
work under regular road over

beat the road law. Ifthe property

New BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY.

New BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY.
Prominent among the valuable
features of the New Edition Of
Webster'S Unabridged Dictionary,
just issued, is the "New Biographi.
cal Dictionary" comprising about
10000 names of ancient and mod
ern persons of renowr, including
many now living. 1t gives us the
pronunciation of these names, the
nationality, profession or occupa-
ton, date Of birth, and if known,
the date of death Of each person.
From its concisencss and accuracy
1t supplies a want long felt in this
direction, and adds very greatly to
the value Of this always valua ble
work.
