Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and lie has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one Of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrolulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. llor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's dircc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsArA-
RILLA, which allayel the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, anu
completely restored the limb to use.

AMONG THE many bills introduced in
Congress yesterday by republican protec-
tionists were several for excluding certain
products of those countries which have ex-
cluded American meats. The real reason
which induced the latter exclusion is not
the fear Of the unwholesome condition OF
American meats, but the protection such
exclusion affords to the home supply Of the
meats Of the countries referred to. This
country, by reason Of her protective tariff,
excludes the products of foreign countries,
and those countries naturally retaliate by
excluding her products, and the injury falls
chiefly upon American farmers, who are
not protected. The whole system of pro-
lection, in whatever light it may be seen, is
wrong, and in free country, with repub-
lican government, is grotesque absurdity,
in that it taxes the many in order to in
crease the wealth of few.

TWO MORE days Of Congress have been
consumed this week by the introduction OF
bills, the vast majority of which were OF a
private character. The legislative branch
of this government was established to make
laws for the people of the country as a
whole. The judicial branch was created to
dispense Justice to individuals. But the OBJ
ject of the founders of the government in
this respect has been entirely frustrated, and
by far the larger portion Of the Congressional
term is How consumed in the consideration
of private claims, in which though justice is
nolninalIv sought it is rarely attained.
Courts should try claims against the gov
eminent, and Congress should enact laws
which shall be as operative upon the entire
tifv millions of American citizens Is upon
any single one Of them; and the sooner the
spirit OF the Constitution in respect Of what
is alluded to he carried out, the betlerit will
be for everybody and every interest in the

votes" Which is about as correct a. any
thing the I4mericca says of political affairs
in the South. As the South is part of the
common country, there should be no reason
why she should not be represented on the
next national democratic ticket, the more
especially as she will supply the majority of
the votes that viii! elect that ticket. But
for all that there is reason why she
should not be so represented and that
reason is just as patent to her as
it is to her enemies in the North; and
it is to avoid furnishing the latter with
sectional and partisan capital that she does
not desire to be, and will not be, represented
on the next national democratic ticket. and
that none of her distinguished sons would
accept place on that ticket.
