Remarkable Recovery.

Mr.. Geo. Willing, of Manchester,
Mich, writes: My wife has been
almost helpless for five years, so help
less that she could not turn over III
bed alone. She used two bottles of
Electric Bitters, and is so much inn
proved, that she is now able To do her
own work"
Electric Bitters will do all that IS
claimed for them. Hundreds of tes-
timonials attest their great curative
powers. Only so cents bottle ut G.

JACOB, THE GOOD.
Jake Sharp Does Hot Want to bs Tried In
New York.

Jake Sharp Does Sot Want to be Tried In
New York.
NEW YORK, December 2l.-Jacob Sharp
has decided that under the circumstances
he wants change of venue He served
notice yesterday through his attorney, AL
bert B. StOckney, upon the District AttOr-
ney, that he would make application to the
Supreme Court on the oath of this month
for the removal of his trial to another
county, on the ground that in the present
state of public opinion in New York city
he cannot get fair and impartial trial
here. His affidavit sets forth that there
are twenty-one indictments against
him for bribing aldermen to vote for the
Broadway surface road. He says: II am
nearly 20 years of age. Ihave lived in the
city or New York upwards of 90 years. l
have been actively engaged in promoting
street railroads The Broadway railroad
has been, and is to-day widely and COM
monly known rs 'Sharp's railroad The
opposition to enterprises with which |
have been connected has in part been an
opposition personal to me and affected by
hostility more or less unfair TO me person
ally. 1t has been common for such oppo-
sition to describe me v4lgarly as Jake
Sharp and the enterprises in which am
supposed to be interested rs Jake Sharp's
enterprises
"It is therefore as believe impossible if
be tried in the city of New York that all
of the vast and widespread opposition to
the construction of a street railroad on
Broadway should not be directed against
me-"
Mr.. Sharp winds up by presenting local
collection of extracts from daily newSpa-
pers of the city which have attracted pub
lie sentiment against him. He has been
collecting back numbers and has made
sixty-nine selections. He adds that the
Jury in the first trial of McQuade dis
agreed and were cenSured by the press,
whereas, the jury which has just convicted
has been praised for its conduct The
hearing will be before Judge Barrett on
Friday

The Anarchist Poet.

MILWAUKEE, December 2l.-The Mu-
nicipal Court this morning, Immediately
after opening, Judge Mallory retired from
the bench to make way for Judge Sloan,
who called up the case of Paul Grotthan,
the anarchist, who is charged with con-
tempt of court in publishing scurrilous
articles in his paper, the Arbeter Zeitung,
rejecting on the presiding judge. At
noon the defense had their testimony all
in, and an adjournment was taken until
two o'clock. Evidence thus far, has been
directed toward proving that the scurri-
lous article and poem were written by
Edward Lowe, late city editor Of the Ar
better ZdtHng, who left the city to escape
arrest.
MILWAUKEE, December 2l.-For the
publication Of scurrilous poem rejecting
on the integrity of the court in the trial Of
the riot cases, Judge Sloan to-day sem
fenced Paul Grottkau, editor of the Social
ist organ, the Arbeiter ZeituRg, to thirty
days at hard labor.

AMERICAN SPITTERS.
THE VILE HABIT OF CONGRESSNEN LIABLE
TO REACT on THEIR HEALTH.
Two Hundred and Sixteen CuspidOs Ignored and
the Perturations in the Brass Vendlators En-
plOyd S The Rscspaelss Of EIpsc-
Oraion-QuestiOn Of Bad Cigars

WASHINGTON, d. D., December 21.-
Mr.. O'Donnell, ofMichigan, from the Com
mittee on Ventilation and Acoustics, re-
ported resolution directing the daily
cleansing of the ventilating pipes leading
to the hall of the House. In its report the
committee says: 'The great American
habit of fexpectorating is fully exempli6ed
on the part of the members
OF this branch the law.nak-
ing department of the Government,
and your committee reluctantly, mourn
fully, but firmly confesses itself unable to
advise measures which will put an end to
this reprehensible practice-a practice that
lowers the dignity Of this august assem-
blage and imperils the health and well be-
ing Of the servants of the Republic.
Attention is directed to the fact that
there are in this chamber 2l6 nickel
plated cuspadors furnished by the munif-
cence of the nation, with sole design Of
being employed for the purposes for
which they are lprovMed; but, for
some reason unknown to your committee
they are ignored, and the pertorations in
the brass ventilatos employed as the re-
ceptacles of expectoration.
Mr.. Buchanan said that notwithstand-
ing the language ofthe report the question
of cleaning the yentilating pipes was q very
serious one to members seated in the CEN
ter of the hall. The air they had to
breathe came up through the openings
and these openings were minute by minute
detiled in the manner spoken Of in the
report. The air would also he improved il
the practice of smoking was discontinued
as the quality of cigars used
was not always of the best
Mr.. Gibson, of West Virginia, criticised
the Committee FOR rejecting on the habits
and manners and dccency If the House.
He suggested that the resolution should be
referred 10 the Committee on Civil Service
Reform. which was engaged in cleaning
all the departments of the Government.
The resolution was adopted.

NEGRO ORGANIZATION

Into X. of 1.-The Bill Before the South
Carolina Legislature to Prevent 1t.
CHARLESTON, 5. c., December 2l.-The
bill now before the legislature to prevent
the organization of cOlored laborers in
agricultural sections is causing great
commotion among leaders of the colored
people Of the State. Rev. j. WOiferd
White, one of the most intelligent colOred
preachers of the State has issued an ad-
dress, in which he says that this bill has
for its aim the grinding down and driving
to the wall of the negro laborer.
In closing his address Mr.. White says:
From the standpoint of equity con-
sidering the circumstances surrounding all
labOrcrs the negro is the most eXcusable
in forming organizations of legal kind TO
better his condition. Do the white people
imagine that by threats they can keep
away from the negroes agents or organizers
and in this way by force keep them in this
State or prevent them being organized for
mutual protection? If SO they reckon
without their host The great drawback
to the negroes lies in the fact of their be-
ing too easily satisfied. The shylocks of
this State to-day are farmers who want
the crops made and gathered without pay
ing a reasonable price for labor They
can reduce wages TO the lowest pOlnl, and
if they are asked for Justice it is refused,
and when the negroes organize for mutual
protection, this is to be pronounced illegal
and who dares to resist it to be incarcera-
ted in prison. South Carolina, your glo-
riOus flag trails in the dust. If the white
people Desire cOutented population of
laborers, let them give the negro fair
treatment. They will have no desire to
go away, no allurement can charm
them away. The South is the
treatment the negro laborers are receiving
has brought them into abiect poverty. No
change of condition or country can bring
them to worse condition, hence they are
easily persuaded away by the seductive
Promises of immigration agents. Should
the bill now pending become law, there
will be wholesale immigration from the
State. There iS-a class of men who get
nearer the hearts aud sympathies of the
negroes than any other Hitherto the in
tluence of this class has been used to keep
them here and hope for better things and
times. When the negro preachers of the
Gospel say to their tiOcks, arise, and let us
60, there will be no wrangling in South
Carolina RIchelS weeping for their child
rem and refusing to he cOmforted.

James G. Matthews Appointed Recorder of
Deeds for the District of Columbia.
WASHINGTON, December 21.-The nom-
ination of James C. Matthews (colored) to
be Recorder of Deeds for the District Of
Columbia, which was one of those sent to
the Senate to-day, was referred
to the Committee on the District
of Columbia. 1t is said to have been ac-
companied by message from the Presi-
dent giving his reasons for sending in a
second time the name OF man
whose nomination the Senate had
once rejected. 1t is reported that the
message, after reciting the fact of the first
nomination and rejection, states that
large number Of persons in the District
had conceived prejudice against
Matthews, which fact doubtless Influences
the action of the Senate; that Matthews
had now been in office several months and
had proved his capacity by rsscuing the
records of the Office from loss and
illegibility, and that his management
of the office had had the effect Of removing
much of the opposition which formerly cX-
isted. For these and protesting and earnest
desire to cooperate i'll securing for cOlOrcd
men Just recognition, he ventures i'll the
utmost good faith to send in the nOmina-
tion, again disclaiming, however, any in
tentiOn OF questioning the action of the
Senate in the premises.
