The partyfis composed Of men, wo
men and children, many of them
being young men. They were ali
very we'll dressed, some of them
quite stylishly. They are very su

formed society binding themselves
to hold together as colony for sew,
en- years. Hundreds Of rich fami.
lies will follow them if this party
report fayorably.
They have deposited $4,000 with
the New York Relief Committee,
thus showing that they have means
and that they are in earnest. From
Mr.. Sol Marx it is learned that
some of them speak French fuently
and one OF the party has farmed in
this country for three years. They
will remain here a few days as they
have been on the road over three
weeks and need rest. The RELIEF
committee meets tonight when the
leaders Of the eolonists will be in
vited to attend and some conclusion
arrived at as to where they will
settle.
It is said that members Of the La
dies Relief Society intend visiting
the ladies Of the colony. In the
party is q young medical student, 9
harness maker, carpenter, lock.
smith, and representatives Of Other
trsdes.-N. o. Democrat.

Mr.. William r. Seymour, Of Columbus,

several winters ago at the Ohio Medical
College of Cincinnati, 0. There | was
taught that "Iron is prominent elementin
the physical organism OF mankind; without
it life is an impossibility. A vast percent
age of the diseases and premature deaths to
which the race is subject, is caused, Or at
least made possible by weakening of the
body in consequence of a lack OF Iron in
the blood" Having suffered from i'll
health, poor digestion and urinary troubles
ever since recovered from typhoid fever,
complicated with marital fever, determined
to give Iron trial. From investigation
| learned that Browns Iron Bitters were
the best, and that they did not backen the

They have acted like a charm. | never be-

Proceedings OF the Presbyterian.
SynSts-.-A Review of the work
of the sc=aipn.
Special to N. o. Democrat.
.yIcKsBuRG, Nov. 20.-SFrhe synod
of Mississippi, which has. been in
session in the Presbyterian Church
of this place since Wednesday night,
adjourned tonight to meet in Kos
ciusko, November %, 1882. This
synod includes the States Of Louis
lana and all Central and Southern
Mississippi, and includes many min
listers of large ability and intelli
gence. This meeting has been un-
usually interesting and harmonious.
Among the interesting features were
the address byJ. NJ. Hazen, of Rich,
smond, on the prosperous condition
of the publication interests of the
Southern Presbyterian Church, and
the address of DIR. Richardson, of
Memphis, on the growing want of
more ministers and the increasing
number of new candidates. This
led to an important debate on the
influence and proper conduct Of
Sunday schools. Hon. j. H. Weeds
Of Meridian, read q paper of rare
ability on the Sabbath, prepared by
Rev. B. M. Palmer, of New Orleans,
which was adopted and ordered to
be read in the church. Rev. j. H.
Alexander and DR.. Bardwell warmly
advocated the claim of the South
western Presbyterian University at
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, and the synod
cordially endorsed this institution.
DR.. Palmer, of New Orleans, and
Col. S. NJ. Shelton, of Vicksburg.
were appointed delegates to the Pan
Presbyterian Alliance to be held in
Dublin in 1884, DR.. Plice, of Vicks,
burg, aud +. Stringer, of New Or
leans, alternates. The book depos-
tory. "a Camp street, New Orleans,
was Endorsed and the churches
urged to patronize 1t literally The
Presbyterian Historical Society Of
Philadelphia and the Proposed
Southern Presbyterian Historical
Society, at Columbia, were Endorsed,
and the Synod voted to aid and CO.
operate with them. Rev. r. S. Me
Alister's overture on the division of
the Synod was heard, and it was re
solved to test the sense Of the Pres
byterians on the proposed division
by allowing them to vote on the
question and report at the mex,
meeting.
The preaching daring the Synod
has been able and eloquent.

PEELED to work like slaves and so,

look at the advertising columns OF
the papers of this State, one would
think they were either printed in
New Orleans, Mobile, Memphis or
St. Louis. Their home business
does not amount to one fourth of
that received from abroad. 1t is a
sad comentary on journalism that
this is true. Business men ought
to support their home papers, but
they do not. They not only will
not advertise, but send four-fifths
of their job-work off, knowing at the
same time the work can be Gone as
cheap and good at home. Why
they do this they alone can tell.

that, though the Readjuster General
Assembly can at the coming SEES
sion elect four of the five judges of
the Court of Appeals, the new ap-
pointees cannot enter upon the dis
charge of their duties until Janua-
ry l, 1Ss3-fourteen months hence.
This, therefore, promises to delay
the readjustment measure-the Rid
dleberger bill-for one year. 1t is
quite as certain that the present
court will pronounce it unconstitu-
tlonal as it is that the General AS
sembly will pass it, and Gov. Came
ron approve it. Nevertheless so sure
are the people that the Assembly
will early commence some sort of
warfare against the tax receivable
coupons that they are now hasten
ing to the Treasurer's offices to pay
up in coupons because they are very
apprehensive that next year the
coupons will not be receivable.
There is a widespread belief in the
State that President Arthur will Of
fer Gen. Malone a place in the Cab
met. He went into the fight heart
and soul with Malone long before
he became Chief Magistrate. There
is little doubt that the help afforded
long ago by Gen. Arthur unfettered
the blacks of the poll tax and put
them in line on election day. II
Malone should go into the Cabinet
the probabilities are that the Sena.
tors will be H. H. Riddleberger and
John D. Wise, son of ex-Gov. Hen.
ry A. Wise. Riddleberger, because
he stands as father Of the debt bill;
Wise, because he inherits, especial
ly with the foreign population much
Of his fathers popularity and be-
cause he is the bosom friend of Ma.
hone. But the new General Assem-
bly, has not only to elect one Sena-
tor, and may be two, and readjust
the debt, but has to redistrict the
State for members of Congress.
Virginia is now to be entitled to ten
instead of nine members of the
House. This General Assembly will
do the redistricting. AS things now
go, political parties do not district
States to suit their adversaries, but
to please themselves. therefore it is
likely that there will be great chan
ges in the districts. They will,
without doubt, be arranged so that
they may most effectually strengthen
and extend the Malone influence in
Virginia. AS for State offices, most
of them are already in the posses
sion of the Readjusters; the single
exception in the State-House is the
office of Superintendent of Public
Instruction, now filled by DR.. w. H.
Ruffner. 1t is conceded that Will.
liam E. Elan can have this if he
wants it. But it is hardly possible
that he will care to give up his edi-
torship of the Wing. All of the
Penitentiary officers now fall into
the Readjusters' hands. Many OF
these are appointees of the Govern
or, and Cameron will fill them, it is
presumable, with his own party and
political friends. For the first time
in eight years there will, on Janua-
nv l, be a mistress Of the Executive
Mansion. Gov. Kemper was wild
over, so is Coy. Holiday. Cameron
is a married man. Virginia elects
her Governor for four years, pays
him $4,000 year and gives him the
use of one elegantly furnished man,
sion on the grounds adjoining the
Capitol Square.-N. Y. Herald.

Nervous Irritability, Sciatica and all.pain-
full Nervous Diseases.-A treatise by well
known physician, aspecialisf on these sub
Jects, concludes as follows: Neuralgia is
one of the most painful of diseases; and is
attended with more Or less nervous irrita
ton. Sciatica is also form of neuralgia,
and all painful nervous diseases come I'M
der that name. Neuralgia means nerve
ache, and therefore you can suffer with neu-
ralgia in any part OF the body, as the nerves
are supplied to every part.
| have for many years closely studied the
cause of neuralgia, and the nature of the
nervous system, with the many diseases that
it is subject to, and have found by actual
experience that the true and primary cause
of neuralgia is poverty Of the nervous fluid
it becomes impoverished and poor, and in
some cases starved, not because the patient
does not eat, but because what is eaten is
not appropriated to the nervous system
there are many causes for this, but DIR. C
W. Benson's Celery and Chamomile Pills
have in my hands proved perfect remedy
for this condition and these diseases.

what Guiteau SAYS.

w ASHlNGfON, NOV. ~.
There have been hundreds of visi-
tors to-day at the District Jail in
which Guiteau is imprisoned. Oc-
casionally party would get permits
sion to pass through the corridor,
while the guard would engage him
in conversation with reference to the
shot which was fired al him yester
day. His inyariable reply to all such
questions was: "Oh, yes; ] am hard
to hit. The people will learn after
awhile that the Lord is with me and
will not permit me to be killed"
The flesh wound caused by the shot
of yesterday gives no inconvenience.
He insists that he must have
strong guard of police tomorrow
to assist the Lord in protecting
him.
Police Officer Edelin,, riding on the
prison van yesterday afternoon at
the time the attempt was made to
shoot Guiteau, says that the man
Jones, who was arrested last night
as the supposed culprit is not the
man who fired in the van. Jones,
therefore, will probably be released
tomorrow morning. No other arrests
have been made.
Perry Carson, the eolored guards
man, wose post of dnty was at the
rear of the van in which Guiteau
was conveyed from the City Hall to
the Jail yesterday afternooa, called
at the police station to.night and
positively identified Jones as the
horseman who FOLLOWED the van from
the City Hall to the corner of East
Capitol and First streets, where the
shooting occurred. Carson SAYS
that when the van reached the Cap
itol grounds Jones kept pretty close
behind it, aud when they reached
the cornsrsaf MIST streeS he rode
pastthe rsar 81 lie wan. Al
most Immediately M tf,ard a pistol
shot fired and len itnother, but
whether Jones u the IL an that fred
the shot 10 could not Say, as, from
the position that Ne oe cupied, it was
impossible to see what transpired
near the side or front Of the van.
The impression prevails at police
headquarters to-nigat that Jones is
the man that fired al Guiteau, not
withstanding the lack Of positive
Identification.

Mr.. Nc(arath's Gard.

=
of Mr.. T. J. S. McGrath, we pub
lish below his card addressed to the
public. While weFdid not support
him for the office to which he as
pired, we cheerfully confess that he
made an extraordinary run for a j
man who had only been a candidate
q few weeks. Had he received the
nomination from the Democratic
Convention, lie would have received
our warmest support. The LEDGER
believes in standing by the nominees
of the party; never has and never
will,while under the present manage
ment, urge nominations and. after
wards stultify itself by supporting
Independent candidates, and it will
never profess allegiance to the par
ty and work against it's nominees.
1t we would preserve the Democrat
ic organization, that which over
threw the rotten Ames government
in this State, drove from power the
alien and home traitor, we must
stand by the action of the party in
convention. So believing, we so act.
Mr.. McGrath writes a good card.
Read it:
