it commenced with bad cold, which being neglect
ed, soon settled into Catarrh. Since that time 1
have suffered more than tongue can tell for at times
my head seemed to be fire, and it impossible
to lie down account of the constant dropping in
my throat. The last four or five years have been
in agony, as i'll addition TO Catarrh, my sight and
hearing both became impaired to such extent that
soon grew weary of life. One day was induced to
try one box of Rader's German Snuff, but having
used almost every remedy, done so without any
faith in its power to cure.


1 had not taken it three days before noticed
change for the better; at the end of week was
able to sleep with comfort, as the choking in my
throat no longer troubled me- and before had used
the last OF the Snuff my sight and hearing began to
return.


As 1 write you this letter con truly say that your
German Snuff has saved my life, and had known
of its virtue in the past might by its use have saved
myself years of suffering and perfect torture.

Boutwell, are stirring up old hatreds
by monstrous stories in the Senate,
private advices from the Southern
States, received in the regular course
of business correspondence by mer-
chants in this city, tell of better
state of feeling than has existed for
years. The negroes are contented,
happy and secure in their rights, learn
ing to practice industry and putting

blacks and whites are friendly and
harmonious. This is the testimony of
business men, planters and cotton

THE LETTERS OF ACCEPTANGE.
When the letters by which our can


didates announced their acceptance of
the nominations proffered than are


compared with those of Messrs. Hayes


and Wheeler, it seems almost impossi-


BILE that any thinking man can hesi~


tate in his choice of the former as the
proper persons to whom he should
give his vote in November next. In
the letters of Governors Tilden and
Hendricks, there is not only displayed


an intellectual grasp of the subjects
before them; there is manifested an


honesty of intention to faithfully dis


charge any duties that may be i'm
posed upon them; while in those of
their opponents there is apparent An
inability to comprehend the nature
of the problem which they are
desirous of being permitted to
try their skill mt solving, as


we'll as clear statement of
their intention, if elected, to per-
form their work by deputy, and dele
gate their authority to the thieves and
plunderers who are now controlling
the machine. With these alternatives
before us, it surely cannot be difficult
to select. Indeed events show that
the natural effect is being produced.
Our fellow citizens are everywhere
raising their voices in favor of the
candidates, who, they know, can and
will, without fear and favor, enter
upon and proceed with the work of
placing all the affairs of the country
upon the basis of justice and equality.
They recognize in Tilden ,and Hend-
ricks the men who know how to con-
duct the administration, and who will
engage in the undertaking without re-
gard to anything but the public good,
aud these men they intend to support
in the contest now going on.

With the adjournment of Congress,
which, as our readers know, took place
on Tuesday evening, the Presidential
campaign will open with great vigor
throughout the whole country. Or
dinarily it is relief when our Legis-
latures, National or State, adjourn and
their members return home to give an
account of their craftsmanship to their
constituents. The present campaign,
however, proves an exception to the
general rule. The searching course
of investigation, retrenchment and
reform so vigorously entered upon and
so laboriously followed up by the
present Democratic House of Repre-.
seutatives at Washington has from time
to time been so fruitful in substantial
results that the announcement of even
temporary cessation from the good
work will be received by the people
with regret. A saving of $50, 900, 900 in
oneyear's expenditure and the exposure



tions that have made the Washington
government reproach and shame to
the country, constitute a record of
which any party may be proud. The
issue is now squarely presented to the
people everywhere and so plainly that
no man may hesitate for moment
which party to choose, who desires an
honest and economical government,

fostered and encouraged the growth of
personal and official corruption and

party that is cutting it up by the roots.

That Governor Tilden is an able,
practical financier, says the New York
San, there can be no question. In his
letter of acceptance he shows the peo-
pie how the whole national debt can
be paid off in the comparatlvelys short
period of rty-eight years, simply
by the adoption of financial policy
which shall secure to the country the
highest credit. BY wisely availng
ourselves of this, he estimates that q
reduction of one per cent. on the in
terest of the loans could be effected;
and this saving, invested at the low
rate of four and a half per cent. inter-
est, would cancel our entire national
debt in the course of thirty-eight
years.
