with Kendalls SPAWN Cure and his allusion tousins
in his practice for several human ailments,
account of the success he has always had with it.
The above statements from prominent a Physi-

hipjoint lameness so bad that could hardly walk
ut times procured bottle, and it has complete
ly cured me- wish proclaim it to all the world

As piece of further information, we will say
TO this intelligent Democratic editor, that llli-
nois did not give 81 900 Republican majority,
nor Pennsylvania l2s,0OO, during the war.
These majorities were given in 1872, when the
Democrats undertook the desperate scheme of
running a Republican as their candidate for
President, and nveigled poor old Horace Gree
ley into their trap, for which wretched business
he atoned by dynga few days after the election.
Now, Mr.. intelligent Democratic editor, please
answer us few questions. You have told us
how the Democrats did the fighting, please tell
us why they had to do iti Under what Admin
istration was the Rebellion commenced, and
whose Cabinet officers stole all they could, in
the way Of money, ships, cannons, forts, etc,
from the Government, to use in their rebellioni
What was the politics of erey in the Rebel
army, who went there of his own free will
Speaking absut that big majority in Ohio, what
party nominated Vallandigham, while he was
an exile from the United States for treason, and
gave him the 15s, 900 votes that he receivedf
What party was it that, in National Convention,
proclaimed the war for the Union a failure, and
demanded the withdrawal of the army from the
Southf What party did the men belong TO,
den Circle, for reasonable purposes' What par
ty organized riots to prevent drafts, and murder
ed recruiting officers, and disabled soldiers hsme
on furloughi What party did the men belong
to, who conveyed secret informa tion to the reb-
els, and smuggled eontraband goods to themi
What party obtained majority in the Indiana
Legislature, during the war, and refused to
vote dollar to sustain the soldiers of the State,
or TO redeem the honor of the State, that had
been pledged for means TO aid the Government
But these are sufficient, for the present.
When you get back from your weekly rounds
among the saloons of the County, touch us off
few answers If you get through with them all
right, we may have some others TO PROFOUND,
more suited to your capacity, like these:
Why did Gen. Jackson kill Pocahontas.
Why was James Buchanan divorced from
Queen Elizabeth
Who was the father of JEFF. Davis first child!
Or, we might be able to teach you the names
of the leading Democrats in the County, or of
the men yon get your whiskey from.

GuITEAU.-on Wednesday afternoon of last
week, Judge Porter concluded his argument,
Judge Cox charged the jury, and they retired.
In forty minutes time, they returned verdict
of guilty of murder, as charged. Scoville is
making a desperate effort for a new trial, upon
numerous grounds. One of them is, that paper
containing matter relating to the trial, was
found in the room occupied by the jury. This
charge is supported by person who swears that
he acted as an eaves-dropper and spy; but ten
