MARYLAND JUDICIARY ELECTIONS.
In compliance with the act of the Leg
isIature of 1880, chapter All, the Gov
esnor has issued his proclamation SUBJ
hitting to the voters of the State, at
the next general election in Novem-
Der, the proposed amendment to sec
ton S of article four Of the constitution
of Maryland. This amendment cor
reefs defect in the constitution with
regard to the election of judges on the
expiration of the first term of IS years
and specifies that such elections shall
take place on the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, which is
the general election day The amend
ment does not affect the term of Office
of the judges, which remains IS years
as before, nor does it change the time
for elections to fill the places of inter-
regnum appointees, except with re-
gard to Baltimore city. In this latter
particular the time is changed by the
amendment from October to Novem-
Der, thus making it uniform through
out the State. The term of IL years
for judges elected in 1867 expires No
vember, 1882, when successors are to
be elected, the amendment being pre-
paratory to that occasion.

Ague COnquerOr Will Cure.

There is no disease or affliction more east
ly cured than the ordinary Fever and Ague
Of this country, and yet it is one OF the most
dreaded. In fact, in some persons, Fever
and Ague, In;ermitting, Renting, and
kindred Fevers if continued, bring ON other
diseases which eventually prove very diff :
cult to cure, and sometimes result in death.
The Ague Conguel or, although u vegetable
preparation, containing no poisons. has ne y
er failed 10 cure any case of Ague within
our knowledge, aud the cnills 10 not return
during that season. Price 81 cents and 81 90
per bottle. To make a permanent cure OF a
difficult case it will require a 81 90 bottle
to cleanse the system and leave the Liver
and otner organs in healthy condition so
that the chlls will not return. Sold by ali
