EA-f stsfutht Arthuf.
New YORK, May lSth.-A distinguished
New York physician, whose name is with
held, said to q Commercial reporter this af-
,ernoon: Ex-president Arthur IS de-
elared to have Brights disease. If he has
it his end is not far off. He may live six
months; he may live nine, but see no
hope for him. Pleasant weather will prob
ably retard the develosment OF the more
fatal sysaptoms until autumn. Bright's
disease is mortal foe, and the victim
never escapes. As Soon as insensibility
sets in his death is only the question of q
few hours. Watch for that"

BILI0uSNESS.

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as

creteS the bile and acts like a
f1lter or sieve, to cleanse impu-
rites Of the blood. By Irregu-
larity In its action or suspen-
siOns OF its functions, the bile
is liable to overflow into the
blood, causing laundlce, sallow
complexion, yellow eyes, biz
t0us diarrh@a, a Ianguld,
weary feeling and many other
distressing symptoms. Bilious
ness may be properly termed
an affection OF the liver, and

MOrmons in the Mountains.

Some of the citizens about Dan
vile, Oconee County, desire to know
what course they had best take to
rid their settlement of some Nor
mon Priests, who, it Scents are indus
triously engaged in propagating
their doctrines in that section. Our
information is that they have gained
a few converts and seemed to be en-
courogcd. The summary process of
violence has been used with com
pleto success in several portions of
the State, but this should not be re-
sorted to, for cisiZens have no right
to take the law into their own hands
except to proveht II felony. These
priests would not stay long in n
place unless they met with some en-
touragcment But if they or any of
their converts, violate tic law by prac,
ticing in the proliSanty department
of the mormon faith, then every OBJ
stacle between such offenders and the
State Penitcntinry is removed.
The easiest and s,ilest way for
the citizens Of Danville to ascertain
their legal rights in the matter, is to
find out precisely what the Nor
MONS are doing, and report the same
to some member of the grahd jury,
who will bring the matter tu the at
tention of the Court. When Solici-
tor Orr finds out what q man is do,
ing in n community, aud the effect
of his deeds, if the statutes furnish
