an Permanent cure Of Ague II Fever,
or Chills and Fever, whether of short
or long standing. He refers to the en-
tire WestASp and Southern country to
bear his testimony to the trdth of the
assertion that in no case what yer VIII
II foil to cure it the directions are
strict Iy followed and carried out. In a
great many cases a single dose has been
su iii for u cure, II whole families
have been cured by a single bottle,
with restoration OF the general health.
1t il, however, prudent, and in every
case more certain to cure. ii It's use Is
continued in smaller doses for a week
or two after the disease has been check
ed, more es, ecially in diflicultand ,ong-
st.. nding cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the
bowels in good order. Should the pa
tIent, require a catbartic medicine,
alter having t rec or four doses oil the
Tonic, u single dose OF BULBS Negeta-
bic Family Pills will be sufficient.

ing at that time upon the action Of tho
Warren Convention: .azq"u'su e
"At the Republican County Conven.
tion held at Warren on "Wednesday,
March %, for the purpose of nominal.
vention, a resolution was passed CEN
suring Gen. Garfield for voting for the
bill increasing Congressional salaries,
and requesting him to resign forthwith.
This is plain Language, and as Asc 'esolu.
ton a,ecetved 6Ht tscO dissenting votes, 1t
may be accepted as representing the
ruling sentiment that prevails In the
most populols and important county
in Gen. 0arfleld's district. lF tss
stThis, therefore, Is the verdict Of the
people upon the salary grab, measure
which in itself was without njusti-
iacatfon, and which has left a stain
upOn the good name of Its perpetrators
which they can never outgrow. Such
of Gen.. Gardcld's friends as were dis
posed 70 defend his vote for tho retro.
active clause OF the Salary bill, on the
ground that, as Charm nm of the Ap-
preparation Committee, he was re-
sponsible for the General Appropria-
tion bill, hare bee,, siSeSecetl 6.y his st,b-
seQttenS NiIttse to appear ,ts,,so,l1 the e'iy'-
thus secured. ;iuJfE.t "a .itI iois NE
"EIad he, like Mcssrs. Monroe and
Upe0n, spurned 1t and remandei 1t to
the Treasury In such a way as to bar all
future claim upon It, his action in sup
porting the bill would have been so far
atoned as to have spared him the present
reproof from his constituents. How he
will treat this summary demand to va
cato his seat remains to be scen.' t-.H
After retaining possession Of tho
money fora month; after his neigh
bors, congressman Monroe and Upson,
had returned their back pay; after a
convention Of his own Republican con-
stituents had angrily demanded his
resignation after all tho events of
March, 1873, Mfr. Garfield I'm April
covered his "a, ,54s into the Treasury.
Ho sacrificed the money and saved his
seat. Yet in his speech at Warren, a
year later, he had the audacious hypoc-
risy to pretend that he was tho first
Congressman to see tho impropricty of
the stolen cash, and tho first
to restore 1t to its owners, the people.

would destroy tho institution through,
incapacity to deal with its require
mcnts. at n late meeting, II we arc
correctly informed, tho chairs of the
whole faculty were declared vacant

their places again as best they can,
according rs the whilns of these ap-
pointed directors of learning may hap
