cines. They are
The greatest known remedies for

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

Ail these indicate di mates of the Liver ur Di

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
is entirely vegetable and contains no liquor. It
is a compound of Fluid Extracts. The Roots,
flsrbs. and Barks from which these extracts arc
made, are gathered in Germany. All the medi
cinal virtueus are ex , tractel from them by
a scientific Chemist, i ft Those extracts are
then forwarded to this V," country to be used ex
pressly t'vr 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 he used in cases where alcoholic
stimulants are not advisable.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with pu RJC Santa Cruz Rum. Grange, 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
ourc f the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations of medicinal extracts, while the oth
ers are mere decoctions of rum in some form The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the public Its
taste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to teke it, while
its life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali
ties have caused it to be known as the greatest of
all tonics.
DEBILITY.
There is no medicine equal to Uooflaud's Ger
man Bitters or Tonic a in eases of Debility.
They impart a tone Id and vigor to tbe whole
system, strengthen * the 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 Tonic. 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 ore the best

go for anything, you must try these preparations.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva

PHILADELPHIA, March 1(5, 18(57.
I find that "Hoolland's German Bitters" is not
an intoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, nse
tul in disorders of the digestive organs, and of
great benefit in cases of debility and want of ner
vous action in the system.
Yours Truly,

FROM REV. JOSEPH II KENNARD, I) D ,

Dit. JACKSON — DEAR SIR: — I have boon fre
quently requested to connect my name with rec
ommendations of different kinds of medicines, but
regarding the piactice as out of iny appropriate
sphere, I have in all cases declined; but with a
clear proof in various instances, and particularly
in my own family, of the usefulness ot Dr. Hoof
land s German Bitters, I depart for once from
my usual course, to express my full conviction
that for general debility of the system, and es
pecially for Liver Com -* -r plaint, it is a safe
and valuable prepara ;Xj tion. In some cases
itmay fail; but usual it ly, I doubt not, it
will lie very beneficial to those who suffer from the
above causes. Yours, very respectfully,
J. II KENNARD,

The following manly land eloquent
letter from the pen of fJen. Geo. B.

NEW
DOUGLAS TAYLOR, Chairman, <ic.
MY DEAR SIR—I HAVQ the pleasure
to acknowledge the receipt of your in
vitation to preside over ®ie Democrat
ic meeting on Monday next.
I have long sruee deteiftnined to ab
stain from further participation in po
litical life, and therefore find myself
compelled to decline the honor you
proffer me. I should, however, be
glad to attend the meeting as a private
citizen, did not engagements of a do
mestic nature, rendered imperative by
my long absence from the country,
detain me from the city upon the day
in question.
1 gladly avail myself of this oppor
tunity to express my continued hearty
sympathy with the democratic cause—
(loud cheers)—and my anient wishes
for the success of those constitutional
principles for which the. recent war
was uiukn-Ltkea Ly the Nojuh.—.Separa
ted as I thus am from tho distinguish
ed soldier who has been chosen as the
leader of our opponents, I know that
you will agree with me in the highest
respect for the services he has rendered
our country; but it is my conviction
that the measures of the party which
has placed him in nomination are but
continuations of strife, and can never
restore peace or constitutional suprema
cy, and thus complete the work which
he and other brave soldiers so ably
commenced. —The war was only the
first epoch in the history of the strug
gle in which we have been so long en
gaged.
The work of the soldier is, [ trust,
forever ended, and it remains for the
people to fulfil the great objects for
which they or their sons and brothers
were called to the field.
A restored Union of States and
hearts; an invigorated constitution;
to be warmly and faithfully support
ed ; the maintenance of the national
credit inviolate; a re-establishment of
national and State rights in all their
integrity—and thus true harmony and
lasting peace—these are the objects for
which every citizen should now strive;
and believing these to rest in the suc
cess of the democratic cause, by the
election of the eminent statesmen select
ed to represent the party, it is uiy inten
tion to sustain that cause as a private
citizen. (Renewed applause.)
With the roqqest that you will con
voy to the gentlemen of the commit tee,
and my other friends for whom you
act, my sincere thanks for the compli
ment they have paid me,
1 am, most truly yours,
GEORGE B. MuCLELLAN.
LET US HAVE PEACE.— "Martial
law," says General Grant in an official
communication on Southern affairs,
bearing date January 2!), ISG7; "martial
law would give security, or compara
tively so to all classes of citizens, with
out regard to race or color, or political
opinions, and could be continued until
society was capable of protecting itself,
or until theStateis returned to its full
relations to the Union. The application
of martial law to one of these States would
he a learning to ad, and if necessary,
could be extended to others."
How trippingly this reads, docs it
not? And what a light it throws on
the manner in which, if General Grant
be elected, we are to have peace. You
will notice that this deiaration of mar
tial law being a panacea for civil ills
bears date January 2!), 1807, or prior to
the passage of the first reconstruction
act whereby, in the language of said
act, these Southern States were "divi
ded into military districts and made
subject to military authority of the U
ited States." Military rule was not set
up in theSouth by Congress till March,
1807, and yet in January of that year
General Grant favors martail law, and
says, as though it were quite a matter
of course, that the application thereof
to one "would be a warning to all, and,
if necessary, could be extended to oth
ers."
In the light of this revelation it is
easy to see what is meant. "Let us
have peace," says Grant. How? say
we. "Martail law would givesecurity"
is his response.
Recent rains in Texas have caused a
great growth of grass.
THE <; KA XT TAX-MILE.
The Radical tax-mill is a great ma
chine. It has ground out of the labor
ing masses of tls is country fifteen hun
dred millions of dollars during the past
three years. It has over two billions
of dollars to grind out of them yet,
before the poor man's toil is paid, be
sides the gold toil that is taken from
him yearly as interest on the rich man's
bonds. Into its hopper goes the sweat
and toil and aches and earnings of the
toiling millions; out of it conies bread
for indolent negroes, big pay for thiev
ing officials, gold interest for bond
holders and riches for treasury robbers.
It is the people who turn this mill.
They run it to grind up their earnings
to give to others. It's a nice machine,
ain't it tax-payers. Take hold ami
/:<(■/1 Oil,
Winding and grinding.
'Round goe? the mill;
Winditig and grinding,
It never stands still.
Ask not if neighbor
Grind great or
Spare not your labor,
Pay yonr toil all.
Winding and grinding, rouDd goes the mill;
Winding and grinding, it never stands still.
Niggers and Bondholders must have their fill.
Winding and grinding,
Work through the day,
Grief never minding,
Grind stilt away I
What though tears dropping,
Rust as they f ill '
Have no nbeel stopping,—
Gold bonds claim all.
Winding and grinding, round goes the mill ;
Winding and grinding, it never stands still.
Niggers and Bondholders mast have their fill.
SOME of the campaign arguments
that appear in Radical journals are
marvelous beyond all parallel. For
example: "Gen. Lee swore to support
the Constitution ten times, and then
took arms and attempted to destroy it;"
therefore Mr. Grant ought to be elected
President.
To answer this "argument" on its
merits, a Democratic logician should
say, "Callieottswore, every time he
received an office from the Radical ad
ministration, that he would not steal
the people's money, and then stole all
he could lay hands on , therefore, brass
buttons are big things!"
The ent i re staple of Jacobin campaign
literature consist* in denunciations of
something that Lee, or Wade Hamp
ton, or -ome other conquered rebel, did
or said, at some former period of bis
existence. Perhaps this line of argu
mentation is found necessary to those
who are paid, or except pay for sup
porting n corrupt administration.
Finding 110 good to say of Radical
leaders, the only way to defend their
faults is to make it appear that they
might possibly have been worse.
Thus, Grant is not the worst of muu,
because some rebel leader was a worse
one. Callieott was not the greatest
thief in the country, because it is pos
sible to suppose that Floyd was a
greater. The author of "All hail, thou
Haunting lie!" was not the vilest trai
tor, because bis treason took only the
form of words, while traitors less cow
ardly gave that crime the form of ac
tions.
Of such insane drivel is the great bulk
of Jacobin campaign literature made
up.— Chicago Timex.
THE BUTLER TEN THOUSAND.—
Speaking of the appropriation of 810,-
000 by Congress for Impeachment—
that disgraceful record in American
history—the National Intelligencer says
it was "ten thousand dollars thrown
away to vent the malevolent spite of
Benjamin F. l.'utler, James M. Ashley,
ami men of that stripe. Ten thousand
dollars of the people's money squand
ered iu tho effort to depose a President
for no other crime than that of differ
ing in opinion from the majority of
his accusers! The judgment of the
American people has pronounced a
gainst the partisan malice which sought
to strike down a President for the exer
cise of his constitutional power in the
selection of his own confidential ad
visers. Let that same people not for
get that freak of a Radical Congress
not only required a direct outlay of ten
thousand dollars, but consumed weeks
that ought to have been devoted to
judicious legislation, while it involved
the country in needless agitation, dis
turbing business, repressing enter
prise, and retarding the prosperity of
the nation.
GEN. GM*NT WANTED.— The Age
savs that without any desire to dis
parage General Grant, we ask the sim
ple question, whether iu any or all of
the fifteeu or twenty biographies that
have been written of him, there is rec
orded a single instance in which he
manifested the slightest sympathy for
suffering humanity, where he relieved
pinching want, spoke a kindly word to
the widow or the orphan, or iu any
manner or form manifested an interest
in the workingman's welfare? Who
ever heard of General Grant visiting a
hospital, comforting by his presence
and words the sad hearts of his mutila
ted soldiers, or conveying to bereaved
wives, mothers and children, a single
expression of condolence? Did any
body ever ?
VAIN MAN.— Whilst thou art build,
ing castles, the carpenter is building
thy coffin. While deceitful influences
are gilding thy future prospects, the
painter is leisurely {tutting the varnish
U{>on the casket that is being fitted
for thy reception. While thou art
striving hard to distinguish thyself
among thy fellows, the marble works
is fitting the slab that shall mark thy
gra\ e. While you are queryingas to the
wherewithal you shall be clothed, the
materials for your burial suit are upon
the tradesman's shelf. You add field
to field, and anxiously reach out for
more; but go to t lie graveyard and
stake out the lot to which death will
soon assign you. "Then whose shall
those things be which thou hast pro
vided ?"
EARLY RISING.— A young farmer
found that he was getting reduced in
circumstances. >fe went to a friend to
ask iiis advice. This friend, with a ve
ry grave facesaid, "1 know of a charm
that will cure that; take this little cup,
drink from it every morning of the
water you must get at such a spring.
But remember you mu-d draw it your
self at five o'clock, or the charm will be
broken."
Next morning the farmer walked a
eross his fields, for the spring was at
the further tyid of his estate, and spy
ing a neighbor's cows which had bro
ken through the fence, and were feed
ing on his pasture, he turned them out
and mended the fence. The hands were
not yet at work; when they came loiter
ing after their proper time, they were
startled at seeing their 'master' so early.
"Oli!" said he. "I see how this is; it
comes of my not getting up in time."
This early rising soon became a plea
sant habit; his walk and cup of water
gave him an appetite for breakfast, and
the people were like himself, early tit
work. He soon acknowledged that the
advice his friend had given wasa> good
as it was simple.
THE NEW POSTAGE ST AM US. —The
Postmaster General has awarded the
contract for the supply of stamps to the
department for the ensuing four years
to the National Bank Note Company
of New York. The new stamps will
be somewhat smaller than those in use
at present, but they are of a superior
style and finish, with a novelty in de
sign. The two cent stamp contains an
engraving of a post boy on horseback
in full speed. The three cent has a
locomotive under full head of steam,
the great carriers of our domestic ser
vice. The five cent stamp contains a
head of Washington. The ten cent,
the finest of all in design and execu
tion, has a miniature engraving of the
Declaration of Independence, executed
with such delicacy and precision that
the picture suffers nothing under a
magnifying glass. The twelve cent
stamp has an ocean steamship, and
the thirty cent has a finely executed
engraving of the surrender of Bur
govne. When it is considered that
over a million stamps are issued daily
the importance of this contract is at
once evident.
FOLIAGE. —The delicate beauty of
the spring foliage of trees has disap
peared ; everything geeen has deepened
its color and the leaves have expanded
to their full size. Instead of an ex
quisite delicacy in size anil color, the
foliage is rich, heavy and luxuriant.
This is the season of nature's most
voluptuous growth. There are three
particular periods in the life and death
of foliage each year, in which the leaves
are peculiarly beautiful. The beau
ty of each period is entirely distinct
from that of either of the others, 's he
first has passed this year--the germ
period ; the second we have also en
joyed ; the third comes with the au
tumn, the many tinted season. Be
tween each period thetimeof transition
reminds us of past beauty or suggests
that which is coming.
A Washington special of October 12ht
has the following: General Reynolds'
order against citizens voting for Presi
dent in Texas has been received here
and is objected to by Mr. Johnson, who
to-day issued a proclamation calling the
attention of the citizens of Texas to
their rights under the Constitution,
and also announcing that the recon
struction acts of Congress contain 110
specific ciause denying the right of cit
izens of any State to vote fur President
at a general election. This, of course,
is a well defined conflict of authority
in which the President will come out
the victor, as General Reynolds will no
doubt withdraw the order, unless Gen
eral Grant insists that it is a legal and
proper one, which in his present posi
tion he is not likely to do. It is proba
ble, thererefore, that till of these States
will vote for President and Vice Presi
dent in November.
ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN. —Let the
business of every one alone, and at
tend to your own. Don't buy what
you don't want. Use every hour to
an advantage, and study to make a
liesure hour useful. Think twice be
fore you spend a dollar; remember you
will have another to make for it.—
Look over your books regularly, and
if you find an error trace it out. —
Should a stroke of misfortune come up
on you in your business, retrench,
work harder, but never fly the track.
Confront difficulties with unflinching
perseverance, and they will fly at last;
then you will be honored; but shrink,
and you will be despised.

lie has a large variety of carpet bags
on hand, and has been unable to sell
a solitary one for many weeks, though
offered at the lowest price of the manu
facturer. Many traveling men will
rather shoulder a trunk, than carry an
easy, portable concern that conveys so
much political significance.
MONEY. —Men work for it, beg for it,
steal for it, starve for it, and all the
while, from the cradlb to the grave,
nature and God are thundering in our
ears the solemn question :—"What
shall it profit a man if he gains the
whole world and lose his own soul ?"
The madness for money is the strong
est and lowest of passions; it is the in
satiate Moloch of the human heart,
before whose remorseless altar all tiie
finer attributes of humanity are sacri
ficed. It makes merchandise of all that
is sacred in the human affections, and
even traffics in the awful solemnities
of the eternal.

VOL 64.—WHOLE No. 5,465.
JOHN Qnxrv ADAMS, of Massachu-
setts, has been making a tour through
the South, and has delivered sjweehes
at several points. At (Jreensboro', N.
G\, he remarked that he had learned
more of the Southern people, and their
feelings and sentiments, during the
last few days than heeould have learned
in Massachusetts in a lifetime. lie
was astonished at the condition of the
Southern people, and their wasted and
neglected fields. I f the North could
see it as lie had done, all our trials
would he at an end. He was pleased
to know that amicable relations exist
ed between the whites and blacks, and
that no animosity existed among the
whites. lie said he felt justified in
branding as a falsehood that the Demo
era tie party wanted to re-establish
slavery in the South ; and hecxpressed
the strong conviction that the consti
tutional party, headed by Seymour
and lllair, would triumph. If so intel
ligent a citizen as Mr. Adams has been
compelled to confess that he had no
proper conception of the condition and
feelings of the South till he went there,
it is not to be wondered at that .so
many of the Northern people are mis
led.
MK. SPEAKER COI.FAX told his hear
ers when he entered the campaign in
Indiana last Thursday, that "self-re
spect and propriety forbid my entering
the political arena to anaylise, discuss
and criticise the principles and policy
of those arrayed against us. In regard
to the principles, policy, platform, and
letters of the Democratic candidates
and party, my lips are sealed." What
he does enter the campaign for, would
have remained forever a mystery, had
it not of been for the sentence which
follows.—"One subject there is upon
which I can always speak, and that is
the glorious record made by this noble,
patriotie Republican party." Taking
this for a text he got-s on with a care
fully prepared review of the past ten
years, proving to his own satisfaction
that every good and perfect thing had
been accomplished by Radicalism and
that the nation itself was now a monu
ment of its "glorious work." Colfax
is a second Nero.
negro riot at Opelousas, Louisiana
resulted from the caning of a white
Radical editor. The negroes rallied to
the support of their champion, armed.
Several bodies of negroes were met and
dispersed by the efforts of sensible,
moderate men, both negroes and white.
One body, however, of 2-j or ilO, led by
a negro who called himself captain, re
fused to disperse when ordered, and a
fight ensued. This Is the statement of
Lieut. Lee, of the Freedmen's Bureau,
who was sent by major Hatchings to
investigate tiie affair. Lieut. Lee re
ports that he could learn of but two
whites killed and fifteen or twenty
wounded, but expresses the opinion
that the number of casual i ties will ex
ceed these, as the negroes in some in
stances, resisted the disarming, and in
some instances had to be overpowered.
Do THE vhite men of the country
feel able to support the negio popula
tion of the South ? Suppose they are
ignorant—can't read, and know noth
ing of the common rudiments of edu
cation—are the people of the North
able and willing to expend upon these
negroes from forty to fifty millions per
annum in supporting and educating
them? We don't believe they will
submit to it—especially when it is re
membered that the Government has
never so supported while men, and does
not now. Are negroes peculiar pets,
or does this adorainable nuisance open
an easy way to public plunder?
Two Radical members of the South
Carolina Legislature—a negro and a
"carpet-bagger"—had an angry alter
cation. Said the "carpet-bagger:"
"You infernal black rascal, you had
better go back to Burns' and black
white people's boots for a living."—
The negro re-toiled: "An'you white
livered scoundrel, you better go back
to Sing Sing, and sarve out your full
'prenticeship at stone euttin'." Speci
men bricks, these, of Southern Radi
cal legislators.
