justly claims for it q superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,

er of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per.
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic. a single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.

THE GUITEAU CASE.
A Day Set for the Arguments for q New
Trial.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 80.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 80.
In the criminal court this morning, Dis
tr:ct Attorney Corkhill applied to the court
to fix day for the hearing of the arguments
upon the motion for a new trial in the case
against Charles J. Guiteau, stating that he
was willing that Tuesday next should be as
signed.
Scoville called the attention of the court
to the fact that one of the affdavits in sup
port of the motion, had annexed to it a copy
of the Evening Critic. The allegation was
that during the progress of the trial the pa
per had been read by or to the jury. 1t bore
on the margin what purported to be the sig
natures of four jurors. The jurors denied
that they saw any newspaper during the time
they were empanelled. This raised an issue
of fact, which was very important to be de-
termined. 1t was not a matter that the court
could determine on ex parte affidavts.
The jury admitted that during the time
that they were impanelled they gave their
autographs to various persons. He thought
it might be important that he should have an
opportunity to cross-examinine the men in
that connection, to determine whether the
signatures upon the newspaper were gen.
uine. The full names of two jurors were on
the paper.
District Attorney-And one of them SPELL
ed wrong.
Scoville-''All these things show the pro-
priety of something more than ex parte affi-
davits in this matter. / ask that the jurors
be produced in court. or that the court ap-
point a commission to take depositions, and
that be allowed to produce such further
testimony as think proper, as to the genu-
mess Of the handwriting. As to the argu-
ment for a new trial he thought he could be
ready by the latter part of the week, as all
the questions he cared about taking up were
as to this ewspaper and in respect to newly
discovered evidence"
The Court therefore fixed Friday for the
arguments. The district attorney said
that he did not intend that the jury should be
put on trial. This newspaper was suspicious
on its face. The gentleman who had filed
the affidavit, and who had purloined the pa
per had already been bound over for forgery
in the district.
He (Corkhill) would show the Court that
this was clever attempt at forgery. He
would not agree that the jury, who had done
their duty so faithfully, should be put upon
trial. and the oath of such a man as that
placed against theirs.
The Court stated that there was no such
practice as issu ing commission on ques-
ton of this kind, but that it was within the
discretion of the Court to interrogate parties
making affidavits, and he thought he would
exercise that discretion.
Scoville said that he was perfectly willing
that the Court should interrogate the affidav-
its. When the district attorney came here
and alleged a forgery it was serious matter.
The Court suggested to the district attor-
ney that it might be well to have the jury
present Friday, and the matter went over for
the present.

In the first terrible winter spent by the
Pilgrims at Plymouth. in Massachusetts,, the
seeds of pulmonary diseases were planted,
and took deep root in families which became
the progenitors of thousands of the American
people. The prevalence of consumption,
thus early developed. directed the attention
of the most eminent physicians and scientific
men to an investigation of its cause and the
means of prevention and cure. The best
results of professional studies on this subject
are combined in DR.. J. c. Ayers Cherry
Pectoral, which is now recognized as the
worlds remedy for coughs, colds. consumption
and other diseases of the throat and lungs.
IL is a safe, pleasant and reliable remedy.
and if kept on hand in every household, will
prove, in many cases of colds. coughs, ETC.,
a means of preventing more serious results

THE TENNESSEE FLOOD.
A Mountain Peak Falls With a Mighty
Crash.

New YORK, Jan. 80.
A Nashville dispatch says that town on
the Tennessee river, virtually has been de-
stroyed by the inundation of the Tennessee
river at that point. from the rains of Fri
day night, the river rose Sunday night to the
highest point reached during the present
flood, and is still rising. An immense amount
of damage has been done to houses and mills
along the creeks near Knoxville, by the rains
of Friday night.
The ,allest peak of the Buffalo Mountains,
in East Tennessee, having been undermined
by the constant rains, fell from height of
three hundred feet, with such crash as to
alarm the mOuntaineers for thirty miles
around. People offered prayers that they
might not be crushed by the falling of White
Rock Peak, which made the earth fairly
quake. Land slides are feared by the man
agements of all the large mountain roads.
Contrary to expectation the river fell nine
inches, Monday. The rise from Cary Fork
by the rains of Friday night, will probably
reach here today.
LATER-The river is now falling, Five
hundred thousand dollars is con ,dered a
low estimate of the damage caused by the
floods in Tennessee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. so.
John w. Guiteau makes the following
statement this morning, relative to his con-
necfion with and knowledge Of the Snyder af-
fidavit:
Il first saw the Critic having the jurors
names written on the margin on the day or
next day after it was handed to Scoville. as
he told me Of Mr. Snyder whom did not
seem to recollect to have seen, before.
examined the paper at the time, but did not
see it again till the day, nude my affidavit,
last Saturday, at Scoville's request.
l then compare it carefully with the sigma
lures which the jurors (Brandenburg, Shee-
ham, Bright and Heinleine, had written on
that, and the day before in my own and Mrs.
Scoville's autograph albums which contains
the autographs of persons connected with
the trial. did not know that Brandenburg' 8
signature on the paper was written in Ger
man until after he wrote my name in Ger
man.
In reply to Mr.. Hayden's question how his
name was spelled in German, after Mr.. Bran
denburg had written his name in German on
a slip of paper, l asked him to write in my
album the same way which he did. The
signature is an exact fac simile of the one on
the paper, as l think an expert will say on
careful inspection. He notices some simil-
arity in Mr.. Bright's writing on the paper and
in his album; also Mr.. Jackson's, Mr.. Shee-
hens and Mr.. Heinleine's. He says a CON-
parison of writing on the paper with the sig
natures written in the albums would warrant
anyone in making an affidavit that she verify
believes" the writing on the paper was by the
jurors named.
have no doubt of the integrity of the
jurors, and presume that the true explanation
of this curious transaction may be found in
the probable fact that the names were writ
ten by said jurors on paper at some time when
they were signing autograph albums in the
bailiffss room, and the matter had escaped
their recollection. This is a much more
plausible theory than the claim made by
Corkhill that the newspaper signatures are
forgeries.
Brandenburg says he rarely writes his
name in German, and it is therefore improb
able that any one would have been able tC
forge his name so completely as it is written
on the paper. He is without doubt most
upright man whom no consideration or mo-
tive could induce to make false statement
or knowledgely violate his oath as a juror
This may be said also of the other jurors
The defendant is entitled to any benefit aris
ing under the law as to the legal question
however. l do not express any opinion, bu
as my brother is undoubtedly insane l be
lieve in giving him the benefit of every lega
defence and advantages.

The following letter in relation to recent
charges against the Insane Hospital. pub

AueusrA, ME., January 80. 1852.
To the Editor Of the Bangor Commercial:
NV attention has been called this dav to an
article in your paper of Saturday. giving the
report of an interview with Mr.. Norris NJ
Tewksbury Of Bangor. who alleges that he
received, while at the Insane Hospital in July
last, inhumsn and brutal treatment. The
charges in your article are positive. and if
true are very damaging against this insti-
tuition. If they be true they can be clearly
shown. and no punishment is too severe for
any wretch who would infict the cowardly
and brutal treatment complained of or for any
officer who would countenance it.
II the statements are the delusions OF an
unsound mind they can and should be so
shown. II they are false and not the delu-
sions of an insane mind you will. doubt
not. agree with me that they are villainous
] have this day addressed letter to the Gov
ernor and Council calling their attention to
the article, and requesting. on behalf Of the
Trustees, that they cause the matter To he at
once fully investigated. The records at the
Hospital show that Mr.. Tewkshurv when ad-
mitted was very violent, and. during the days
he complains of receiving this treatment, was
a raving maniac.
