WHAT EVERYBODY KNOWS,

Or ought to KNOW is that health
and eve life itself depends upon
the condition of the blood. Feed
ing, as it does, all the organs of
the body, it must be rich and pure
in order to give proper nourish-
ment. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes
the blood pure, rich and nourish-
ing, and in this way strengthens
the nerves, creates an appetite,
tones the stomach and builds up
the health, Hoods Sarsaparilla
wards off colds, pneumonia and
fevera which are prevalent at this.

DAyTON'S ABSENTEE RECORD.
THE WAY HE REPRESENTS TIE SECOND DIS,
TRICT I'm" CONGRESS.

The charge has been made and proven, that Dayton neglected his
duties in Congress to practice law and attend to private business.
while drawing $4,000 per year from the tax payers to look after their
interest in Congress. Dayton, in attempting To explain the roll call.
which shows up so badly against him, says thai it is not a far tet
as the rolI-call only occurred when the question was one Of Import
ance, aud that there was ~ daily roll call TO show the pre,ence ~
absence of the members lnste I'd of this sustaining Mr. Dayton. II
proves The converse OF the proposition. For il Mr.. DAYTON as not
present when these important mt asures we're to be voted ON n tae
House, what would the record have shown had there been a daily
rollcall?
In his speech here he declared that he had not been absent from
Congress over ten days. Everybody who reads the ,pe and k.e,.
posted knows that TO be a positive faIsehosd. for he lost " or tbr,e
that much time IN the celebrated Il ,stham case. in which he
Was chief counsel for ~ prosecution. Besides this, there has hardly
been a week but what we have noticed an item in some of the manners
from Taylor, Barbour, Randolph, Tucker or other counties nbout Mr.
Dayton being there attending Court or on some other business.
The plain fact of the matter is. that he neye amonnted m m,oh
AZ a lawyer until after his election to Congress. which was a bo ad.
Vertlsement Tor him, aud he at once proceeded to posea Is the "Man
who beat Billy Wilson, and use his office to build up a law nrac-
Ice lie believes in making hay while the sun shines and getting
all the big cases and fat fees possible while he is Congressman
Dayton. AS a matter of fact, it would have been better for the

1or clerk hire and mileage and stationery besides, could have been
PAID OIL the war debt, or invested in some other wav. 10 q wonId
have something to show for it.
ms matter OF non attendance to Congressional duties is worry
ing Mr.. Dayton and the Republican papers of the District onsid-
credulous aud gulible Of their constituents, and there seems To 10
q general tendency towards relieving Mr.. Dayton from Congress
o duties altogether after this. and allowing him to practice law
anu pursue the even tenor of his way unmolested after this term.
lie has now been In Congress two terms, or nearly four years in
all, and we herewith give his absentee record as copied from the
official roll or reports at Washington, and he dare not deny il for
the record Is there on file to show for itself. Besides, his record

absenteeiSm is noted and also when he was away on leave.
