PENDANT into the penitentiary. The
government knew what he was doing,
that was beyond denial; how he hated
and abhorred this informer system,
every act of the government should
be flower springing from the heart
of honor; the government should be
incapable of deceit; depart
ment of Justice should blow
from the scales even the dust of
prejudice; representing supreme
power it should disdain subterfuge; as
confession of weakness behind these
Dretenses turned to cowardice; the
government should be the incarnation
of candor, of courage, of confidence;
that was his idea of great and noble
governments.

The STATESMAN takes pleasure in

Cathartic Pills

Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately adj
iusted to secure activity, certainty, and
Uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical cx-
pertinent. and are the most cffectual REM
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
arrangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, which require prompt and efec-
tual treatment. AYERS PILLS are Spe-
cially applicable to this class of diseases.
They act directly on the digestive and
assimilative processes, and restore regu-
lar healthy action. Their extensive use
by physicians in their practice, and by
all civilized nations, is n of the many
proofs of their value as q safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances.
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be
administered to children with perfect
safety.

As a Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these
PILLS are the most thorough and search
ing cathartic that can be employed, and
never give pain unless the bowels are in
famed, and then their influence is heal
ing. They stimulate the appetite and
digestive organs; they operate to purify
and enrich the blood, and impart re-
newed health and vigor to the whole
system.

These non commita! Editors re
mind us of an occurrence in the L0uis
lana Legislature many years ago.
A gentleman by the name of
VOORHEES, was Lieutenant Governor.
and presided over the debates in
the Senate with much dignity aud
credit.
Henry st. Paul was a member of
the Senate, a man noted for his
great faculty of turning everything
into ridic ule and making a farce OF
the most solemn transactions, pro
vided lie might get a hearty laugh
over it.
The Lieutenant Governor was in
the habit of leaving his elevated
chair occasionally and snmmoning
some Senator to occupy his seat du
ring his temporary absence.
st. Paul never was called to pre-
side. All the other Senators we're
called upon, but st. Paul, never.
Noticing this fact, and perhaps
feeling hat he did not deserve such
treatment from a friend he inquired
of Mr.. VOORHEES,, why it was that
he never had called him "St. Paul"
to preside.
The Lieutenant Governor replied.
"The fact is, st. Paul, if l would
place you in my chair you would
commit some folly in less than halt
an hour" st. Paul pledged. him
self to conduct himself with dignity
and decorum, if a trial were per
mitted.
LII the Senate, also, was a mem
Der by the name of Hyams, who
spoke upon every question that
came up before the Senate and new
er allowed any bill or resolution
to pass until he had been heard up
on its merits.
Gov. VOORHEES,, the next day, sum
moned st. Paul to preside: He as
snmed the chair and clothed him
self with all the dignity peculiar to
so high a position.
After some time, a Senator rose
and moved that a certain rcsolu
ton pass, there being no objections
made.
The motion was seconded.
st. Paul sat as silent as a statue
of decorum.
After waiting some time the NOV
er of the resolution, arose and call
ed the attention of the chair to the
motion just offered and asked that
it be put to the Senate. st. Paul
never moved nor spoke.
Finally, the irate Senator jumped
to his feet, and in a loud voice de I
handed to know why his resolution
was not put to a vote. {
st: Paul replied that "Hyams i

hearing his name pronounced '
