What is Behind 1t!

No amount of money can stand in the stead
of good name. 1t is blunder everywhere
and every time to suppose the loss OF ehar-
acser can be paid for. DIR. David Kennedy,
of Rondout. n. Y, proprietor of the great
medicine called ''Favorite Remedy" would
have but little confidence to recommend the
public to buy and use it If has o~n good
name were not behind it. But the fact that
he has staked his reputation upon it ought
TO be, and is, better than thousand cheap
certificates-in the opinion of the people.
The Doctor is a regular physician-surgeon,
and despises humbug as heartily as any
man. fyou are sick with any complaint OF
the Blood, Kidneys or Liver, invest One
Dollar in the "Favorite Remedy" and it will
Fspeak for itself.

present
Mr.. Beck took the floor. and arraigned
the republicans for their course in the Senate
Mr. Beck referred TO the action of the
republicans regarding Malone, emphasizing
the fact that Malone was placed on commit
tees which would give MIN the greatest infu-
ence with the people of Virginia, while he
avoided expressing an opinion here, when
the Virginia election came on. as the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts dawes } was going
TO keep the Senate until December he
would invite the Senator to pair with him
and go there in September and October. He
Beck would tell the people what he could
not deci,iyelv do here. what he thought the
meaning, purpose, and intent of all this
action The Senators thought they might as
well spend their time canvassing i'll Virginia
as quarrellIng in this chamber.
Mr. Beck said the men of Virginia who
were resisting the re-adjusters, were the men
who had been standing up for free vote, a
fair count and an honest payment of the
debt. The preteXt that the republicans
were picking out body Of men to give a
free vote and fair count, was pre,ence the
country would never accept 1t was ''any-
thing to beat the democracy" without regard
To where aid came from. He had few days
since refused to pair his colleague with Sem
ator Malone. lie would not pair his col
league with democrat. Let the Senator
from Virginia avow himself republican,
let him tell the re-adiusters that he had aban-
doned them, then the democrats would talk
about pairing with him. He (Mahone)
would not get pair with democrat, until
he avowed he was republican. He Beck }
proceeded to suote and comment upon ex-
tracts from Sherman's speech. especially
those portions which he stated scolded the
democrats. He hoped that that scolding had
been intended in Pickwickian sense. He re-
membered how the same gentleman had once
scoided the present Vice President. and had
subsequently gone down Oh his knees, and
begged his pardon.
After remarks by Messrs. Pugh and Saun-
ders, expressing respectively democratic and
republican grounds of the present contest, the
Senate adjourned until tomorrow.
