And will cure you and your children. They are
entirely different from-w -w the many preparations
now in the country cal a—l led Bitters or Tonics.
They are no tavern A-*- preparation, or any
thing like one; but good, honest, reliable medi
cines. They are
The greatest known remedies for

Diseases of the Kidneys,
ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN,
and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver,

IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
Constipation, Flatulence. Inward Piles, Inline s
of Blood to the Head. Acidity of the Stomach,
Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Full
ness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eruc

Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the
Head, Hurried or Difficult Breathing.
Fluttering at the / x Heart, Cooking or

and Eyes. Pain in the Side, Back. Chest,
Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat,
Burning in the Flesh. Constant Imagi
nings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits.
All these indicate diseases of the Liver or Di
srrstice Organs, combined with impure blood.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
is entirely vegetable and contains no liquor. It
is a compound of Fluid Extracts. The Roots,
Horhs. and Barks from which these extracts are
made, are gathered in Germany. All the medi
cinal virtueus are ex - traeted from them by
a scientific Chemist. ■ ft These extracts are
then forwarded to this V/ country to be used ex
pressly fur the manufacture of these Bitters.
There is no alcoholic substance of any kind used
in compounding the Bitters, hence it is the only
Bitters that can be used in esses where alcoholic
stimulants are not advisable.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with PURE Santa Cruz Rum. Orange, etc. It
is used for the same diseases as the Bitters, in case
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
You will bear in mind that these remedies are en
tirely different from any others advertised for the
cure of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations of medieinal extracts, while the oth-
is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to tbe public. Its
taste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it, while
its life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali
ties have caused it to he known as the greatest of
all tonics.
DEBILITY.
There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's tier
man Bitters or Tonic ■-q in cases of Debility.
They impart a tone ft-4 and vigor to the whole
system, strengthen A tho appetite, cause an
enjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di
gest it. purify the blood, give a good, sound,
healthy complexion, eradicate the yellow tinge
from the eye. impart a bloom to the cheeks, and
change the patient from a short-breathed, emaci
ated, weak, and nervous invalid, to a full-faced,
stout, and vigorous person.
Weak and Delicate Children are
made strong by using the Bitters or Tonie. In
fact, they are "Family Medicines. They can be
administered with perfect safety to a child three
months old, the most delicate female, or a man of
ninety.
These remedies are the best
Blood Purifiers
ever known and will cure all diseases resulting
from had blood. Keep yur blood pure ; keep
your Liver in order: keep your digestive
organs in a sound, I heaithy condition by
the use t>f these reme 1 J dies, and no diseases
will ever assail you The best men in thecountry
recommend them. If years of honest reputation
go for anything, you must try these preparations.

THINK OF IT. —Farmer, mechanic,
workingmau—-and especially you who
have heretofore acted with the Repub
lican party—you have now until No
vember to think of a matter that con
cerns you ami your children. Will
you vote the Radical ticket and pay
the bondholder's taxes, or will you
vote the Democratic ticket anu make
the bondholder pay bis own taxes?
Every dollar added to the duplicate
relieves you. The Democratic plat
form demands that bonds shall be taxed
the same as other property—the same
as your dwelling house. The republi
can platform favors the exemption of
the bondholder, says, in effect, that he
is a privileged character, and shall not
be taxed on his bonds. Which isright?
Throw aside your party prejudices,
and think of it!
REF.F AND TAXES—A BOVINE BI
OGRAPHY.—I was born in Nebraska.
The farmer to whom 1 belonged paid
a tax upon me as a part of his income
during my veal hood. He sold me
when 1 was three years old, and paid
an income tax upon what I brought.
I was nicely fatted until I weighed
nearly a ton, by a Democrat on Weep
ing Water, who paid the Government
eighteen cents for the privilege of sell
ing me to a butcher, who pays a tax of
ten dollars for the privilege of selling
meat to the public. The butcher sold
my tallow to a chandler, who made
me, by paying a license as manufactur
er, into candles for the poor people,
who pay a five per cent, tax on can
dles to read by. My horns and hoofs
are made into combs and glue, and pay
another tax. My hide goes to the tan
ner, who pays a manufacturer's license,
and is made into leather, upon which
is paid an ad valorem tax of five per
cent. The tanner will sell the leather
to a wholesale dealer, who pays a mer
cantile license and an income tax, and
he will sell it to the shoemaker, and
the shoemaker will get up boots for
the laborer, farmer and mechanic, and
charge enough for them toeoverall the
taxes enumerated together with his
own manufacturer's tax.
The revolutionary programme of the
Radicals i 9 daily developing itself. A
"carpet-bagger" named Coon, in the
Alabama Senate, recently displayed
his fire-eating tendencies by announc
ing that "if war must come, let it come
--that the Radicals would give their
opponents a belly full of it before it
was over—and that in the next war
victory would perch upon the Radical
banners." Coon evidently let the eat
out of the bag, and his admirers in the
North are now deploring his indiscre
tion. The Radicals desire to get up a
new revolution, so that they may con
tinue their plunder of the people's
money, but they don't want their tools
to say so.
GKEBLEY OS THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.
Greeley begins to see the Presidential
canvass in clear light, and sees every
reason to fear the failure of Grant. He
says that the labor that is to insure the
triumph of the republican candidates
"is yet to be done;" that six times as
many clubs as the Grant men now
have are necessary, and that before it
can expect to win the clubs must "gath
er and glean half a million votes from
thoso who are now indifferent or hos
tile" to the republican party. And
all this, he justly reasons, "implies
such a canvass as has never yet been
in our country." For those who fancy
the election of Grant and Colfax cer
tain he says:—"So far is this from the
fact that they are this hour in peril of
defeat" and "will surely he beaten if
there steadfast supporters are not spod
ily aroused to general and intense ac
tivity." Republicans "have to poll
their very last vote in half the States
many more than they ever yet polled
in the belt of States beginning with
Connecticut and extending through
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Ohio to Indiana—or Seymour will
he the next President." He believes
that "there is danger—grave danger"
—that Grant will not be the next Exe
cutive; not that he doubts of the real
supremacy of the republican party in
point of numbers even, but he fears
that republicans will be apathetic and
democrats crafty, and of course dishon
est-.a view not quite consistent with
his other view that his party needs to
win half a million votes gained either
from its opponents or from men indiff
erent to party.
Greeley, then, begins to feel the com
ing defeat of General Grant. He has
good reason to be uneasy in view of
the possibility. He may regard this
result as in a peculiar degree the eon
sequence of his own efforts. lie has
directly contributed to bring it about.
He created in the first place and has
kept alive those elements of disaffec
tion to the republican party from
which alone Grant's defeat can come.
He is the man who has driven the
common sense, the respectable control
ling conservatism of the country into
an attitude of hostility to the republi
can party. He is the real source in
his party of all its extreme tendencies
—all those desperate efforts to remodel
the nation in accordance with extrav
agant and misty theory—those ridicu
lous vagaries of a dreaming enthusiast
who fancies he is a politician and a
statesman. Had republicanism acted
on the impulses of the people at the
close of the war, had its policy retloc
ted the true will of the people, how
different would have been our recent
history Rut it gave way to that spirit
of which Greeley was the head and
front, BIHI thfi rest came of course. —
Thence came all the nigger legislation
and all that perversity of our recent
political strife that would not have
peace if it was not peace with the nig
ger in the best place. Thence came
all the legislation outside the consti
tution and the efforts to cast the Exe
cutive office out of our system of gov
ernment because the occupant of that
office did not agree with Greeley in
his view of his duties, i his is the
spirit that has rendered it impossible
for the people to act longer with the
republican party ; and though the na
tion respects and reveres Grant for his
character and his history, it cannot
even for his sake accept a party of such
tendencies and subject, as its record
shows, to such unsafe influences.— Xew
York llcrakl.
THE CHOPS IN ENGLAND.— The
Gardener's Chronicle, of London, of
the Ist of August, contains harvest re
ports from 20G different places in Eng
land. To what extent these reports
may be accepted as authentic it is not
in our power to say; but most proba
bly they areas truthful as information
of this nature generally is. The result
obtained from a compilation of these
returns is that there has never been a
better crop of wheat on all good wheat
soils than the present one, and that
the average of the whole crop will
probably prove higher than it has
been for many years. In (17 of the
districts from whence these reports
were received the wheat crop was an
average good one ; in 12<i districts, 01
per cent, of the whole number, the
crop was above an average; and in
only 10 districts was it below an average.
The reports of the condition of the
other crops were not quite so full, nor
nearly so satisfactory.
THE CHOPS OF THE WEST AND
SOUTH.— The New York Express, re
ferring to the harvest in the West, re
marks:
"The granaries of the West, we are
glad to see, are to be largely poured in
to the lap of this great centre of trade
and commerce. We hear, since the
harvesting commenced, of large ship
ments of grain from the farmers, by
the lakes and by rail, to New York,
and the expectation is that no small
quantity of all this will be forwarded to
Europe. A fair cotton crop, say 2,000,-
000 bales, and large shipments of bread
stuffs, with pork liny and other articles,
to go forward, will tend to keep down
the price of gold. Hut for theextrava
ga nee ami follies of Congress, we might
at least hope to keep our debt from in
creasing."
THE Tariff men of Pennsylvania,
having been uniformly wheedled into
the support of Radical candidates, are
now asked to renew their aid to that
party, notwithstanding the fact that
it lias introduced the whole negro ele
ment of the South into politics, which
will give that section increased repre
sentation in Congress, and thus
strengthen the Free Trade vote.
IT is impossible to insure success to
Hiram Ulysses as long as he refuses to
have a policy. No policy, no insurance,
is the underwriter's rule,
HOES THE LABORING MAX PAY ANY
TAXES.
While the producing industries of the
country are unjustly taxed, and the al
most intolerable burdens of the war rest
upon those who fought the battles and
made the sacrifices, those who tilled
land to produce supplies, and those
who labored in the work-shops, the
organs of the Radicals are asserting
that the bondholders are the men who
pay all our revenue. The organ of the
Radicals in Lorain county, replying to
an article which recently appeared in
the Cleveland Plaindealer , sneeringly
says that "not one laboring man in
every hundred pays a penny of taxes
to the government directly." True,
the laboring man does not pay Ids tax
es directly to the government, but ev
ery man of sense knows that the con
sumer pays the tax upon every article
manufactured by capital. A practical
working man, a few days ago, being in
our office, handed us the following,
which in itself is a volume of argu
ment to show that the poor man does
pay taxes:
Radical legislation requires the con
sumer to pay all taxes. It taxes
The hat 011 your head.
The boots on your feet.
The clothes on your person.
The food you oat.
The tea and coffee you drink.
The pot it is cooked in.
The cup you drink it out of.
The implements on your farm.
The tools you work with.
The paper you write on.
The pen and ink you use.
The paper anil books you read.
The furniture in your house.
The gas or oil you burn.
The coal you consume.
The stove you burn it in.
The match you light it with.
The medicine you take.
The tobacco you smoke.
The pipe you smoke it in.
The dishes on your table.
All you eat off them.
The laboring man of the country,
who owns a little house and lot, which
he has earned by toiling from early
morning to night, pays State tax, coun
ty tax, school tax, road tax upon it;
while his next door neighbor who is a
bondholder, owning fifty thousand
dollars in bonds, pays no taxes what
ever, draws interest in gold, and laughs
at his unfortunate neighbor, who has
his money in a little home! If the
masses of laboring men desire the equal
taxation of every species of property
according to its real value—govern
ment bonds and other securities in
cluded—if they want one currency for
the people, the laborer and the office
holder, the pensioner and the soldier,
the producer and the bondholder,
they will not vote the Radical ticket,
but will vote for that of the Democra
cy' _____

casioning the death of Mrs. MeCubbin
by wrongfully preparing a prescrip
tion ordered by her physician while
she was recovering from yellow fever,
came up last week.—Amongst the
first juryman called was Ernest Nel
son, a coal black negro of the most un
intellectual type, to whom were pro
pounded the following questions:
Can you read ?
No.
Can you write ?
No.
Can you count?
Juryman hesitates, but iiis answer,
whatever it may have been, is stayed
by objection from Mr. Hornor, plain
tiff's counsel, who contended that the
only question the court has any right
to entertain is whether the juryman is
a registered voter.
Mr. Bermudez, for thedefen.se, urges
that in a case where, as in this instance,
a large sum of money was claimed, a
man who.couldn't count was as in
competent to render a just verdict as a
man who was insane.
The Court ruling that under the ex
isting state of things, evrev legal regis
tered voter was a competent juryman.
Mr. Burmudez returns to the charge,
a-king of the juryman :
Are you a legal registered voter?
No answer.
What is a legal registered voter?
Dunno.
[Hornor to the rescue.] Perhaps if
the Court would ask him whether he
voted at the last election we would get
at the facts.
[Juryman, with a look of intense re
lief.] Oh, yes, sah, I voted.
Juryman sworn in.
Empannelling of jury proceeds in the
following manner: Hornor pre-emp
torily challenges every intelligent
looking white man till his challenges
are exhausted ; Burmudez challenges
every imported negro till his are ex
hausted. The jury is then completed.
White man steps up and objects to
serve.
Why?
Because lam a white man and I
object to sit on a jury with niggers.
The Court —That's no objection, sir,
you must serve.
So a jury of two-thirds plantation
negroes is em pan nei led to try a cause
involving the nicest questions of medi
cal science, the trial of which will
probably extend over three or four
days. To the decision of this body is
conlided the professfonal reputation of
a highly respectable apothecary ; anx
ious relatives have to look to them to
determine whether a loved member of
their family was killed by gross negli
gence, or died solely from natural
causes.

The so-called South Carolina Negro
Legislature have passed the following
"Law," <sl ayes to 19 nays:
A bill to prevent discrimination between
persons, by those carrying on business
under license, on account of race or
cotor, or previous condition,
lie it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of South
Carolina, now met and sitting in Gen
eral Assembly, and by the authority of
the same.
SECTION* 1. That from and after the
the passage of this bill it shall not tie
lawful for any party or parties, enga
ged in any business, calling or pursuit
for the carrying on of which a license
or charter is required by law, Muni
cipal, State, Federal or otherwise, to
discriminate between persons, on ac
count ot race, coior, or previous
condition, who shall make lawful
application for the benefit of such busi
ness, calling or pursuit.
SEC. 2. Any party so discriminating
shall be considered*as having violated
this act, and upon conviction shall be
punished by a fine not less than SI,OOO,
or imprisonment for not less than
twelve months.
SEC. ;>. No act of incorporation shall
be conferred upon any organization
the rules and regulations of which con
tain features not compatible with the
provisions of this act.
SEC. 4. All acts, or parts of acts, in
consistent herewith* are hereby repeal
ed.
A negro named Johnson, demanding
the bill, said, —
"I notice a publication in the daily
paper concerning Nickerson's Hotel.
They seem to be exceedingly frightened
about colored gentlemen stopping there
to board. Perhaps on some future day
I shall come here to Columbia, and
there may not be any private house,
and being a gentleman, may call at
Nickerson's Hotel. If Ido so I don't
wun't to be refused. I want the right
and privileges of going into that, house no
matter who it is kept by, and having my
self cared for, as well as any other guest
of the house. And so I want to go into a
workshop or any other place of busi
ness.
This is what Radicalism means,
North as well as South, side-by-side
and bed-by-bed "equality,"—not that
all Radicals now mean this, hut it is
what all are coming to if Gen. Grant is
elected President.
GEO KG E I, EE (NEGRO).
Now I was not one of those who ac
companied the excursion to Greenville,
a short time ago, hut I understand that
on arriving there the members had no
place to go for a lodging. To meet
just such an emergency as this, I am
anxious that this bill shall pass, so that
those having hotels shall be made to
pay the penalty if they deny the ac
commodations which we demand. And
to this end I appeal to every Republi
can on the floor to pledge himself to do
equal and exact justice to all. That is
the essence of this bill. It is all we
want; it is that which is secured to
us by the Constitution of the State and
the Reconstruction acts of Congress,
and it is wha' we must have.
"What we MUST have," and will
have, of course, is Northern Whites to
co-operate with the Southern Negroes
in making Grant President, as their
common servant and servant-man,—as
he must be, if thus elected.
K. 11. ELI.IOTT (NEGRO).
1 hope that every man on tliis floor
who claims to bea Republican will vote
for this bill. I will not insult the dig
nity of the House by appealing to race,
or asking a man to vote for it because
he is either white or black ; but I ask
simply on the ground that the meas
ure is right and proper, and in accord
with the principles involved in the
whole scheme of reconstruction.
Of course, it is in accordance with all
the Reconstruction Acts of Congress
nay, in a lower, rather than a higher
keynote—for these acts put the negro
above the white man, by disfranchis
ing thousands of white men while en
franchising all the negroes; whoaras,
this S. C. act only puts the negro on an
equality with the white man—in bed,
board, table, shop, &c.
DON'T KILE HlM.—Many farmers
have noticed in their fields a large
black beetle, with most brilliant gold
en dots placed in rows on his back.
Dr. Fitch says: "It's eggs produce the
corn-ut ab kilter. liis a most inveterate
foe to the cut-worm grasping the worm
in itsstrongjaws, and, in spi eofits vio
lent writhing and struggling, securely
holding it. \\ hen it rinds these worms
in plenty,it gorges and surfeits itself up
on them till it is so glutted anddistended
as to be scarcely able to stir, for it never
knows how to let a cut-worm alone
when it meets him. It is continually
hunting these worms, feeding on noth
ing else if it can obtain them. Both it
and the golden dotted beetle, which
produces it, therefore, should never be
harmed.
RIPE FIU IT.—While we cannot too
strongly caution our citizens against
the use of unripe fruits, on the other
hand we cannot too strongly urge free
indulgence in well ripened ones at
this season. A distinguished physi
cian states that, in an extensive prac
tice, running through a long series of
years, he had always found the occa
sions of his services in a family redu
ced in proportion as they came into
the daily use of good ripe fruits, from
strawberies onward. Some of the most
distinguished pomologists of the coun
try bear unqualified testimony in he
half of well ripened fruits.
A SAD SNAKE STORY.—A young
lady in Snyder county, Pennsylvania,
was in the garden picking berries. A
piercing scream from her alarmed the
rest of the family, who were at the tea
table. Hastening to the spot, they
found her lying on the ground insen
sible. She was carried into the house,
and sad to relate, examination proved
that she was dead. Her friends, 011
proceeding to prepare the body for in
terment, were horror stricken to find
an immense black snake coiled tightly
around her person, underneath her
clothing. There being 110 evidence of
the snake having bitten her, the in
ference was that the young lady died
from fright.
GRANT'S friends ->ay that lie shuns
public demonstrations. That's a mis
take. The shunning is all on the side
of the demonstrations.— Prentice.

"BAIT HIM WITH A WHITE WO
WAS.*'
The terrible, shocking, nameless
crimes of the Southern niggers, are a
matter for grave reflection, not only of
the leading minds of this country, but
of all Christendom. To sj>eak out
plainly, rapes upon white females by
brutal negroes are of daily occurrence.
Horace Greely and Henry Ward
Beecher, more than any other two in
dividuals in this country, are the au
thors of these rapes. Not long ago,
Ward Beecher said in a speech, "the
way to maintain a man in a position is
to take one step before him ; being craf
ty, I desire to capture him by guile;
take a black man, bait him with a white
woman, and I think you will catch the
black man." Was there ever a more
atrocious or horrible sentiment uttered
by a human being, much less a clergy
man, and yet this debauched scoun
drel calls himself a Christian teacher!
Pandering to the animal passions of a
half brute, covertly inviting rapes and
murders, has had its fruits. Nigger
outrages upon white females are of
weekly occurrence, and Beecher and
Greely continue to preach up the doc
trine of bating the black man with a
white woman, while Christendom looks
on with horror, but nobody moves to
stay the dreadful crimes. Democratic
voters, shrink not from your duty.
Let the consequences be what they
may, Mongrelism must be crushed out
at all hazards. The election of Sey
mour and Blair will doit.— JV. Y. Day-
Hook.
A-MDXU the last public acts of Gen
eral Ilalpine, or "Private Miles O'-
Iteily," was fo put on record the fol
lowing in relation to Governor Seymour
and General Blair. General Halpine
said, in the Citizen:
On the whole muster-roll of the army
no name shone more conspicuously for
personal gallantry than that of Frank
Blair, few officers have been more des
perately wounded, and no otlicer has
been more gloriously conspicous for
never saying "C'ouie" to his men, but
"Follow me." As for the loyalty of
Horatio Seymour, the fact that in every
national exigency he hurried forward
more troops to the scene of actiou,
whether it was Washington or Gettys
burg, than any other Governor, toget ti
er with the warm letters of thanks for
his loyalty and devotion from the late
President Lincoln, which have already
appeared, must he a sufficient answer.
Knowing Seymour well, and having
had opportunities to know him thor
oughly, officially andperonallv,during
the war, we reluctantly but firmly ap
ply to whomsoever shall question his
action and practical loyalty, the fa
mous words of that great Radical
Chief who answers every charge which
he deems unfounded by the striking
phrase of the true Saxon dialect: "You
lie, you villain, you lie; ' and—what
the great Radical philosopher does not
do—we are willing to be held responsi
ble for these words.
Hon. \V. B. Jones, elector for Grant
in the Fourth Congressional district of
Alabama, declines to serve, and will
take the stump for Seymour and Blair.
Hon. Thomas Masserton, representa
tive from Lawrence county, has also
abandoned Grant and will support the
Democratic nominees. The State Sen
tinel, carpet-bag organ of Atlanta, has
suspended from want of patronage.
THE genus carpet-bagger is a man
with a lank head of dry hair, a lank
stomach and long legs, club knees and
splay feet, dried legs and lank jaws,
with eyes like a fish, and mouth like
a shark. Add to this, a habit of sneak
ing and dodging about in unknown
places—habiting with negroes in dark
dens and back streets—a look like a
hound, and the smell of a polecat.
"We have seen the mischief wrought
out by tlie policy of the past three
years. It will be as hurtful in the fu
ture as it has been in the past. Yet
the Ttepublican party lias approved it
and is pledged to it. n — Seymour.
To earnestly denounce military des
potism, or to express a determined pur
pose to put an end to the anarchy
which prevails in the South, is charged
by the Radicals as a revolutionary
threat.
VOTING for Grant and Colfax, is e
quivalent to voting for High Taxes,
Negro Governments in the South, Gold
for the Bondholder, and paper curren
cy fur those who do not hold bonds,
ami for the exemption ofall capital in
vested in Government securities from
all mannerof Taxation.
Nothing can exceed the enthusiasm
with winch the names of Seymour and
Itlair are greeted throughout the land,
except the freezing indifference with
which the Radical nominees are receiv
ed wherever they make their appear
ance.
WHEN General Grant reached Den
ver, Colorado, all the soldiers of com
pany B, Third Infantry, saluted him
with a Seymour and Blair flag. The
General felt unable to remain in that
town or even to alight from the coach.
GRANT'S "peace"—negroes outrag
ing white women and shooting their
male relatives—a common occurrence
in Tennessee and other satrapies.
AN appropriate design for a Grant il
lumination an old woman hung
on a gallows for vengeance. Motto—
' we now acknowledge her innocence.
Grant was once a tanner. He is still
in the hide business, having hidden
himself in the Western bushes.
To the negro savages of the South,
the Radicals offer ballots; to the Indi
ans of the frontier, bullets.
The New York Herald says that tho
Radical "peace" means a peace witli
the nigger in the best place,
