UnprincipIed Dealings.

The popularity and worldwide fame of
Simmons Liver Regulator has induced un-
principled parties to place spurious COM
pounds called by some CARRIED part of our
title or name in the market. A majority of
these enterprises have died natural death,
but others are periodically cropping out.
To those who have not yet learned the great
worth Of the Regulator this word of caution
is necessary. To the invalid it may be q
question OF life and death. Ask for SIM

NO INFORMATION RECEIVED OF THE UNITED
STATES STEAMER AsHgELoT.
WASHINGTON, February 21.-No informa-
ton of the United States steamer Ashuelot
has been received at the Navy Department
The report, however, that she was lost was
not at all discredited, as the vessel was not
considered very seaworthy; in fact, abe was
laughing stock among naval officers. She
was paddle-wheel, thin-plated iron ship Of
1870 tons displacement, and was what is
known as double ender. She was built in
1868 for the purposes of river navigation
during the war, and was used in the blockade.

THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
SOME DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER IT CAN BE GOT


SUNNI DOUBTS AS 10 WHETHER IT CAN BE GOT
THROUGH TIE HousE----
WASHINGTON, February 2l.- Opinions
differ as to whether the river and harbor bill
can be got through the House. A prominent
member said to-day: at is true the bill is
small, but its smallness is its weakness. Last
year almost every member was interested in
it, and consequently could be depended on to
vote for it. This year vey few of the mem
beIs have any interest in it. Their districts
have been ignored, consequently they are not
particularly anxious for the bill TO pass. In
fact, some of them would rather it would not
pass. To beat the bill they think would be q
popular act. However, 1 am inclined to
think the bill will go through by close
vote"
Another member said: Il think there will
be fight on the Mississippi river appro-
priation not because of opposition to the
appropriation, though think there is, but
mainly because there ia no restriction as to
the building of levees for the reclamation OF
private lands. If you will notice, the bill
says the money will be spent by the commits
sion for the Improvement OF the river in
accordance with their plans. Their plans,
as you know, include the building of levees.
Last year the appropriation was saddled
with a restrictive proviso which satisfied the
directors 10 levees. This year the proviso
is dropped, and you will see there will be an
outcry against levees and the Mississippi
appropriation as soon as the bill comes be-
fore the House for action"
While there is good deal Of talk for and
sgainst the bill, the triendsof it do not seem
to doubt its passage.

WASHINGTON, February 21.-Congress-

evening concerning the testimony given in

a check for $4,000 had been drawn in his
name by S. w. Dorsey, replied in the most
emphatic manner, as follows: 81 never had
any dealings of financial character, public
or private, with Senator Dorsey in my life
to the amount of single cent. III any check
was drawn in my name / never saw and
never heard of it until my attention was
called to the statement in the Star this even
ing. II check was drawn in my name il
must have been presented and paid TO some
other party, if paid at all. This evening
went to Col. IngersolPs house for the purpose
OF requesting him TO call me to the witness
stand and give me an opportunity, under
cath, to deny this charge. That evidence
given to-day, in every particular, insofar as
it seeks to involve me in this Star-route
business, is false. / propose that this oppor-
tunity shall be given me before the trial

Indor.se Our Candidate.


The Georgia Democracy should rejoice
that its convention had the wisdom to
select such an admirable candidate for
the GovernOrship as Hon. Henry ID. Me-
Daniel. A tried statesman, familiar Win
and largely instrumental in shaping the
poliey Of Georgia for the past dorado, Mr..
MCDANIEL will bring 10 the discharge
81 his duties a knowledge Of the
moods Iof the commonwealth and a
capacitv tomeet them possessed by few
Of his contemporaries. The young Demo
cracv should rejoice that's man, who in so
brief a span Of public life, has risen TO
such eminence, should have been selected
to lead them. In his rise in public estima-
ton, Mr.. McDaniel's career resembles
that Of Senator Brown, and
we doubt not that his term will he
as productive Of good to the State. as was
that of the distinguished statesman who,
PERHAPS, to-day wieIds a greater influence
in the national councils than is exerted
BY any other Southern statesman.-
There j. some loose talk coming from
certain quarters a 10 the defeat OF
Governor BOyRtOn implying the slaush-
ter Of the ATLANTA Ring" For our
part. We are not aware that any OF the
ALLEGED eompOnents OF the sO-cailed
.-riii,f'' heartily or. in fact. "a at promoted
the claims Of Governor BOynton. Our in
dividual support OF that gentleman was
basel upon what we conceived TO he the
propriety Of his being permitted 10 I'LL out
the term Of his predecessor. This
was strengthened hy the unreasonable
attack made upon him fUr having, as he
believed. honestly endeayOred 70 serve his
people in a trying hour in their history.
We regret that he failed 10 secure the in
d0rsement that he deserved. and we be-
lieye that every Georgian that calmly
weighs the matter will agree with US. but
we are satisfied that no better choice for
the high trust could have been made than
has been effected.
The graceful spirit Of self-sacriice eX-
hibite,l by Governor Boynton, when his
cause was far from desperate, must beget
for him the approval Of all iair-minded
citizens.
The election is fixed for the 34th inst,
and il behOOves the Democracy TO
see to il that tbs distinguished
gentleman selected for the sufTrages Of the
party shall receive the handsome indOrse-
ment to which his virtues. his ability and
his worth entitle him. Henry ID. McDan-
lei is worthy Of the sufrages Of all true
Democrats, and OF all others who have the
welfare Of our grand old commonwealth
at heart. and should receive rousing
majority.
