Correspondence of the spEcrAroR.

Correspondence Of the SPECTATOR.
It is interesting often to look into the
past. When we have reached that point
in life that our fellows call US old, il is
more natural for us to do so. We have
just reviewed the proceedings and
scanned the names of the Convention Of
Sept. 25th. 1889, that met here in the
Presbyterian church. We had met with
nearly all of those who constituted it.
We had associated with large proper
ton ,and were on terms of intimacy with
many Of them; seysnty,seven counties
were represented. Taking them alpha
betically ,Ithe first name that recall is
Col. John J. Bowcock, of Albemarle, in
which I. is Improperly put. Augusta
representation proper is all gone. Mr..
Stuart represented Henry, Norfolk, and
Ohio counties as an alternate. OF Bed
ford's four, w. M. Burwell, of New
Orleans, is the survivor. Charlotte,
VIM. T. Scott and Thos. E. Watkins,
and is the only county where the
entire delegation survives. Halifax,

win McRae. now the Assistant Libra
rian in the State Library. Louisa, VIM.
M. Amber. Norfolk City was repre-
sented by Ed. Valentine, then of this
place. and we think he ia yet living.
With Mr.. Stuart, there are nine left.
The venerable Allen Wilson, of Cum
berland, called the Convention to order,
and moved that the no less venerable
Capt. Phil. Slaughter, of Culpeper, be
chairman. Gen. Porterfield
being present, Gen. Samuel II. Lewis
moved that he be invited to q seat in
the Convention. Gen. Ed. Watts was
and John H. Peasants and
H. Toler made Secretaries. B. w.
Leigh, Chap. johnson, Vincent Witch
er, VIM. s. Archer, and Joseph x. Irv-
ing were among the most talented and
prominent members. And we here note
the presence of another, who q few
months ago was yet on the tide Of time,
Col. Henry P. Irving-the P. being
we overlooked him. He went
to San Francisco before the war to settle
the estate of his brother Joseph K, of
the prominent firm of Irving, Fair &
Booker. The National Intelligencer, q
few days after its adjournment, had this
pithy paragraph:
1--WE give up large portion of our
paper this morning to the interesting
of the Virginia Convention
that met in Staunton on the 25th ultimO.
Perhaps there never assembled in the
of Virginia a body Of
citizens more distinguished for talents
and weight of character. Their pro-
ceedings will cheer every true republic
can throughout the land, and the appeal
embodied in the preamble and resOlu-
tions will thrill every heart capable Of
being touched by the power of truth
and eloquence." ~

ABaD RECORD FORGEORGIn

A BAD RECORD FOR GEORGIA
 A bill to abolish internal revenue taxes has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Brown of Georgia Senator Brown will add to his popularity in his State by earnestly ad- Vocatlng the passage of the bill, judging from the way in which many of his constit- uents regard these taxes.
 It IS pointed out that of fourteen hundred and seventy one arrests in the United States for violation of the internal revenue laws, during the period from June 30, 1881, to November l, 1882, ten hundred and seventy five were in the State of Georgia-ten hun dred and sixty-nine being in the Second dis trict, in which the Senator lives.
 Of five hundred and nine illicit stills seized during the same period, one hundred and twenty-five were in the State of Georgia, one hundred and sixteen being in the Second district, in which the Senator lives.
 Of four officers and employees killed in the enforcement of internal revenue laws during the same period, two were killed in the Sec- ond district of Georgia, in which the Senator lives
 Of one hundred and eighty eight Spring -~o->~ collectors and others for the enforcement of internal revenue laws, seventy-on one are in the State of Georgia, fifty nine being in the Sec- ond district, in which the Senator lives.
 The total amount of distilled spirits re- turned as produced in the Second Georgia district was one hundred and eighty thou sand eight hundred and eighty gallons while In the Fifth Illinois, twenty-fo million one thousand two hundred and forty-three gal. Ions were produced-not man placed in ar rest, only six illicit stills seized and no car- pines.
 If Senator Brown desires to show that the internal revenue taxes are not popular in his State, the facts given above, and others which might be given, will help him to prove his case. But if he shows much zeal in be- half of his constituents those opposed to the abolition of the taxes will have plenty of am- munition with which to pepper him.

Great interest is felt in Iowa regarding the decision of the Supreme court upon the oonstitutionality of the prohibitory amend ments. The test case is now being argued before the court The ground of objection to the amendment is that the journals of the Legislature do not contain complete record of it's having been approved by that body It IS argued, however, that the record is imper- feet concerning most of the amendments heretofore made to the Constitution so far as the Legislature is concerned

The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible If disease has entered the system the onLy sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
 These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nOtAing- but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious.
 BRoWN's IRON BITTERs will thor oughly and quickly assimilate with the blood, purifying and strengthen ing it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will n0t blacken the teeth, cause head ache or constipation, and is posi- lively n0t injurious.

According to Mir. Boekel who was ap- pointed to investigate the Keely motor, what MT. Keely claims to have discovered is sthe fact that water in it's natural state is capable of being, by vibratory action, disintegrated, so that its molecular structure is broken up and there is evolved therefrom a perma- nent expansive gas or ether, which result is produced by mechanical action. Very many of those to whom this communication is ad- dressed have frequently seen at the work shop of MT.

The Lancet, speaking of those nervous sportsmen who are unable to avoid trepida. tion palpitation when walking up to a dog at its point, or if bird or covey rises suddenly without being pointed by the dog, says: Such nervousness ought rather to be designated as excitabi :. It is nearly al ways constitutional, and therefore incurable. In short, it is not disease or morbid condi- tion, but state of impressibility, though it may be temporary and connected with some deficiency of the power of control. Steadi- ness, as regards the nervous system, is much a question of reserve force. In some cases the 'nervousness'' of the sportsman is 8 di rect consequence of his enthusiasm. He is so anxious that, in the endeavor to acquit himself creditably in the field, he is unable to make even respectable appearance. The heart beats the eyes dance, the hands trem- ble, and, of course, good shooting is out of the question. This is why many 8 man who is a fair shot when alone is unable to hit 8 haystack, as the saying goes, when criticising eyes are upon him. Practice may, in certain cases, reduce the magnitude of the trouble, but nervousness Is constitutional with many too enthusiastic sportsman and he will be increasingly nervous as his enthusiasm aug ments

 Gents Upon the recommenda- ton of friend I tried BRowN's IRON BITTERs as a tonic and re- storative for my daughter, whom l was thoroughly convinced was wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent phys icians, I was 10th to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daugh- ter had taken one bottle of BRowN's IRON BIrTERs, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said "Tonics were re- quired;" and when informed that the elder sister was taking BRowN's IRON BIrTERs, responded "that is good tonic, take it.''

Those who go to prison in India are, it appears, lucky if they come out alive. Out. side the prisons the yearly death rate in India Is twenty seven per thousand in the larger places and fifteen per thousand in the vil- lages. Within the jails, however, in the Runjab, the rate seventy eight per thousand in 1880, and one hundred and forty In the previous year. In the Bombay presi- dency the respective rates for the year men tioned were forty five and one hundred and nlne- An increase in the allowance of food for the prisoners was followed by a,i imme- diate lowering of the death rate certain prisons, however, are worse than ever before. In the jail at Jalpiguri the rate rose in 1880 to three hundred and forty one per thousand from two hun dred and eighty-two. In eight other jaiIs it ranged from one hundred and four to one hundred and ninety three The worst state ment is from the Rawal Pindi jail No chol- era appeared, and yet in the year 1880 the rate was three hundred and ninety-one and fraction.

It is not pleasant to learn that the pros- pect that justice in the matter of the Japa- nese indemnity fund will be done this winter is not good. This fund of $60o,OoO invest ed in State bonds, has been lying in the State department for nearly twenty years, with steadily accommodating interest. It is the money forced from Japan to pay this coun- try for the bombarlment of Prince Satsu- mas forts when that satrap defied the Ty- coon and shut up some of the ports which had been opened to foreign trade. The whole business cost us about $7,00O, to pay which $Go0,000 was exacted Secretary Seward and his successors have always re. fusad to cover it into the treasury, on the ground that the fund never was equitably ours. It's return never has been asked by the Japanese government but several bills have passed both branches of Congress to restore it. AS the matter now stands, the House committee are in favor of paying the fund back with interest at four per cent. The Senate committee, Messrs Sherman and hayafo' Will not consent to the payment of the 1nterost, and there is, it is said no pros- pect of an agreement.
