ARIsTOCRATIC GREED.

1t is Characteristic of the Aristocratic party
in the English Parliament that they should
insist that the prime reason for the inability
of the Irish peasants to pay their rent was
their indulgence in whisky and the amount
that they subscribed to the League. They
never seemed to think that the converse
of this proposition would have much more
force, to wit: That the AristOcrats took the
bread out Of the mouths of poor men and
their wives and children to squander il on
harlOts and gambling. This is certainly
much truer than the other argument, for the
subscriptions to the Land League are quite
modest, and much as has been said about the
indulgence of the Irish in whisky, the fact
still remains that they are among the most
temperate people among the lower classes
of Europe. They do not drink near the
amount Of spirits that the frugal and thrifty
Scotch, German, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian
and Swedish peassntry do. Both of these
arguments, however. leave out Of sight the
great and fundamental principle of land
tenantry, TO wit: That no landlord has the
right to exact so much of the profits of the
cultivation of the earth as to leave the man
who does the work of cultivation only what
is barely sufficient for his actual subsistence,
with no margin whatever for the comforts
and even Injuries of life.

THE EXECUTIONS IN ANpERsoNvILLE.


To THE EDITOR: have heard that there were
five or six Union prisoners hanged in Anderson
vile Prison by their fellow-prisoners. What crime
had they committed, and was it lawful hanging -
w. A. H., Wakefield, o.
The men to whom the correspondent re-
fers belonged TO the organized gangs of
plunderers who were known in Anderson
vile as Raiders" They were mostly bounty
Jumpers, who had deserted to the rebels
when il got too hot for them in our lines,
but were put back into the prison among
the Others at time when the rebels thought
there was prospect of exchanging them for
their own men. They used to watch the
incoming prisoners and take away from
them whatever they had managed to SNUG
gle past the rebels who searched them. As
the prisoners from the Army of the Potomac
were frequently well provided with money,
watches, blankets, etc, and came in in such
large squads that the rebels found it difficult
TO strip them all, they formed tempting prey
for these rascals. If a prisoner offered any
resistance to the Raiders he was liable to be
killed, and as many as three men were killed
in one night during the latter part of June,
1864 This condition of affairs became so
very bad finally that Serg't Leroy L. Key,
Co. NJ, 18th Ill. Cav, man of undoubted
courage and great executive capacity, under
took the work of organizing force which
would suppress the villains. Quite spirited
fight took place between the Regulators"
rs Keys command was called, and the Raid
ers, on the Sd and 4th days of July,
1864, which resulted in q signal victory for
the Regulators. About. $50 of the Raiders
were arrested, of whom three were subse-
quently killed in running the gantlet and
number of the remainder were tried before
court-martial, consisting of 10 Sergeants
chosen from the latest arrivals in the prison.
These sentenced six of the Raiders to be
hanged, which sentence was carried into
effect on the 18th of July, 1864, inside the
prison, and in the presence of all confined
there, as well as the entire garrison and a
great number of people from the surround
ing country. The severe proceedings were
generally approved, and brought order and
security into the prison.

BILIOUSNESS.

Every third personyo meet is troubled
more or less with biliousness, and don't
know how to get rid Of it. The causes
are easily recorded. A lack Of sufficient
exercise, eating too much by persons Of
sedentary habits, indulgence in too rich
food where an excessive quantity is not
taken, a sluggish torpid liver where the
blood docs not do its duty, and bile fl
allowed to accumulate; these cause the
whites of the eyes to turn yellow, thesliin
10 look thick and coarse, and the COM
plexion yellow or dark. These arc sure
indications of biliousness. Relief can be
had and should be had at once. Browns
Iron Bitters is the remedy. 1t acts di-
rectly upon the blood, cleanses and puri-
fies it, and sends il on its journey through
the channels of the liver. stirring up its
action, giving to il activity and vigor,
and clearing out the bile. 1t will remove
the yellow tinge from the eyes and the
complexion leaving the latter fresh and
clear. 1t will open the pores ofthe skin
and remove the thick cloudy appearance.
Browns Iron Bitters cures biliousness.

DYSPEPSIA.

Many people who are irritable, nervous
and easily disturbed, whose physical and
mental conditions are much disordered,
naturally possess the pleasantest and
most agreeable manners and disposition.
The cause of their irritation and dis
turbed condition Of their organization is
their suilerings from the horrors Of dys-
pepsia. The stomach has been over
worked and refuses 10 do its duty. They
arc unable to take much food and what
they do take fails to aasimilatc, and heart
burn and belching indicate their condi-
ton. Nothing Will give these sufferers
such speedy and sure relief as Browns
Iron Bitters. 1t furnishes Just the aid
needed to as5imilate the food and gives
strength to the stomach to perform its
work, cures heartburn and belching, gives
renewed appetite and cures dyspepsia.
Then instead of loosing flesh daily the
patient rapidly regains what has been
lost and grows healthy and strong.

Disapproves the FiBdiaK of n Court
Martial.

WASHINGTON, 0ctober 20 The pro.
ceedings OF the court martial con-
vened in this city for the trial of Capt.
William S. Johnson, United States
army (retired), have been made pub
lie. Capt. johnson was tried upon
charges Of duplicating his pay &C.
counts, and the court martial returned
a verdict of not guilty. Lieutenant
General Sheridan, who reviewed the
proceedings, set aside this verdict,
however. In his Endorsement he says
that the court should have admitted
evidence touching the character OF
this accused. The Lieutenant General
further says: "That the accused ad-
mitted the execution Of two sets of
vouchers for his pay for the same
month Is shown by the record, and
the evidence also shows that he al
lowed these vouchers 10 pass beyond
his control, so that both were present.
ed and paid. While il appears that
the accused made certain private ar
engagements with the persons holding
his vouchers, yet the United States
was no party thereto and was in
no manner bound by them, and
although there may have been
extenuatiug circumstances and the
overdrswn pay was refunded, it is,
nevertheless, fact that the govern
ment was exposed to fraud for which
Capt. Johnson cannot be held excusa.

accused from arrest has been ordered
and the court martial dissolved. This
action Of the Lieutenant General in
Disappearing the finding of the court
atquitting the accused is said 10 be a.
most without precedent in the admin
ittration OF military justice, although
there can be no doub. as to its legal
iiy. The accused stands almost in the
same position he occupied before trial,
