THE A1yus accuses the PRESS of speaking
of Colonel Blood very affectionately. The
accusation is entirely false. The PRESS

controversy by the Argus, or some paper of

DAIN in the right side, under the l edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe- tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen- sation of having left undone some- thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of prickly sensa- tion of the skin; his spirits are low; i; and although he is satisfied that exer. else would be beneficial to him, yet he Car scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try 1t. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

 DR. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.

THRovGH great effort upon the part


of the Southern white people the negro
exodus seems to be apparently stopped
for the present, but not without the ex-
action Of such promises from the whites,
that must prove beneficial to the negro
and at the same time teach a salutary
lesson to The white people. The negroes
have now learned that there are other
places where they can live in peace
and make better living .han in the
South and they will not be slow in COM
mencing the exodus again if the pr.
secutions of the whites are RESUMED.
We have no hope however that the
negroes of the South will be left long
in the enjoyment of the peace which
they are now apparently enjoying, un.
less they all turn in and vote solidly
the Democratic ticket, something that
it is not likely they will all do. A
sharply contested Presidential contest
will soon convulse the nation, when the
prosecutions OF the blacks and the ex-
oius will commence at the same time.

THE TRAGIC ending of the life of a
miserable murderer like Edward Parr,
is in keeping with his life, at least for
the last twenty years. Such life pre-
sents study for social science and
christianity. Here is the case of a
man who had lived sixty years right in
the heart of the enlightened and chris
tented nineteenth century, brutalized
and hardened in crime, and yet this
man was once a tender child, whose
mind could have been moulded differ.
emily. That such lives can be lived in
a land of schools and churches and all
the appliances of modern civilization is
a sad commentary upon the efficiency of
these means for elevating the human
race, and strong incentive to better
and braver work in counteracting the
endless forms OF evil that surround
the children, where poverty is the com
panion or the result of crime. That
Parr should have "cheated the gallows"
and hurried himself to his final account,
in the very presence of the minister of
earthly justice, will be generally &C
cepted with little regret or sympathy.
A man perfectly worthless and of whose
guilt admitted of no doubt whatever,
has gone into eternity, and the curtain
closes over it forever.

If CRIME pred0minates as it has done
until the next court, there will be a
large number of capital cases for the
court of Oyer and Termincr. Already
there are threc-Dugan for the mur-

principals in the murder of Perry
Demby. 1t is not likely though that
any of the cases will amount to con-

of the little col9rel boy. A gentleman,
who had not the fear of libelling the

license laws and this would be the re-
suit any how. All but says one, that
would be free liquor law, and We
could never submit to that. That IS
true, it would be just as free and open
to competition as any other business
and why should it not be ? If the peo-
people cannot stand this; If intempef-
auce and crime increase through such
a law, then it will be high time to en-
tirely prohibit the traffic. 1t will then
b. time to outlaw the whole traffic and
make it a crime to sell liquor under
any circumstances except as drugs for
the arts and medicine. Here is the
broad proposition ofthe whole question.


Is the liquor traffic right and produc-
tive of good to the community : II So
then let everybody who desires engage
in the traffic. There cannot be too
many; the business Will be regulated
by the laws of demand and supply. If,
on the other hand, the traffic is wrong
and productive of crime then nobody
should be allowed to engage in it, and
no law passed to raise State revenue
out'of the traffic can make it right
These are all things to be looked at
and pondered over by the people as
they are ipstigated by the recent crimes
that have been committed, to make in
quiries concerning the traffic, and to
see where the responsibility for such a
carnival of outlawry belongs.

A letter from Southwestern colored
man intending migration to Kansas
has been published, the photography
OF which may be eccentric. But this
fault is quite atoned for by the sound
ness of its good sense. 1t says; 'This
is the reason why the colored people
wants immigrant to the State of Kan
sas; they can't make living in the
South; and the furthermore they can
not BY lands in the South; and Ever
pay fer it," Again "They Say you
all cannot live in Kansas: it is to Cold
for Black people; you will die aup
there like Sleeps. We have taken in
to construction that We Had Just Soon
Die aup there like Sleeps, to Be Shote
Down like Beests aud tolls of the Air."
Well, here are certainly pretty good
reasons for emigration: l. The blacks
cannot make living az the South. ,.
They cannot buy land there.


They dc not like bull dozing. From
this may be deduced the proper way of
arresting the exodus. A freedman who
is paid good wages, who is allowed to
purchase at reasonable price bit Of
land to hold in fee simple, and who is
reasonably certain of the safety of his
person, will have no possible reason for
leaving Louisiana or Mississippi, and
will probably stay where he is. Another
freedman in Arkansas writes that ninety
families are going thence TO Kansas by
wagon, and adds this significant state
ment: "The fact is our oppression here
is the next thing to slavery" This is
near enough. If the bondman, in spite
of all hindrances, often run away to the
North, the freedman, at liberty to 60
Whenever he sees fit, will not stay if
he has a reasonable motive for going.

If in your path should haply stand,
A toiler under weary load,
Let him turn toward either hand.


But leave to him the smoother road.
Respect the burden; he who bears


The weight of toll has greater claim.
Than he who fortunes favor wears,
only boasts title name.
Comfort the weak tits a noble deed
To bear with them. to calm their fears
Who WELD in time of direst need,


No weapons save their harmless tears
The old man tottering to the grave
Give him your courtesy. your cheer;
From care and trouble strive to save,
The few short days he tarries here,
For he has long his burden borne;
Ask not if he was false or true;
This is no time for doubt or scorn:
Mayhap twas partly borne for you.
Respect his burden, even If he


Should meet you with impatient frown ;
Think, he is eager to be free,


To lay his irksomc burden down.
And if hard words of anger start,
Answer with smiles, It's no disgrace,
To smooth or calm an angry heart,
With chccry words and smiling face.
Respect the burden of the weak,
The poor, the old, and, when you can.
Let higlcr. nober feelings speak;
Respect the burden and the man.

Sunday comes he will have the
day with his loved ones, and that

until only a moiety OF food is re-
qulred, and an industry which
drives man on to labor without
air and without food, make condi-

his seal the lips of the first-born as
in Egypt Of old; If on to.morrow's
dawn it should be found that there
were as many dead as all the inhab-

number, the loss would scarcely
cause ripple there. By the end Of

the awful gap would be closed, and
the same terrible front Of hungry
millions would be presented, ready
with insidious step to commence
with a locust raid upon any land
which offered food or presented a
possibility for toll. No wonder
brave men grow afraid as they con-
template the spectacle; no wonder
generous hearts cry out against a

THERE is a hearty and pro-
nounced sentiment in this commu-
nifty that city officials should be
held to rigid accountability.
However emphatic this feeling is,
it is also accompanied by an infiex-

lawlessness. The corporation of
Los Angeles has been peculiarly
unhappy in some of her fduciary
agents. Ball bonds have proved
to be of the ver;est straw. All of
which shows that, while we have
not arrived at the stage in which
our people would tolerate anything
answering to vigilance commit.

should be made to understand that
longer forbearance has ceased to be
a virtue on the part of the long
suffering taxpayers, and that an
alert and Argus.like observation is
directed towards them.

On the 17th of September, the battle flags of the various Connecticut regiments are to be removed from the State Arsenal to the place prepared for them in the new Capitol There they are to be displayed in the west vestibule in elegantly carved oaken cases, with French plate glass windows which have been ordered for the purpose, the whole to be in keeping with the tasteful furnishing of the interior. The day selected for their removal is the anniver. sary of the battle of Antietam, and the ocea- sion will probably attract together more of the old veterans than have ever been assembled in one place since the close of the war. In their circular announcing the time of the transfer, the officials having the matter in charge invite all soldiers and sailors who served in the late war to be present and escort theold colors, and suggest the appointment of member to repre- sent each regiment and battery in making ar- ! engagements for the parade. Says the Cour- | ant:

 l It is the first opportunity they have had to | rally around the tattered and bulet-scarred colors which were upheld with honor on so many bloody fields And it may be the last | opportunity, for it is not likely that consent

 will be given to allow the colors to be removed

 from the cases. Most of them are in such con- dition now that they cannot be unfurled with
