TO
RENDER EXISTENCE DESIRABLE.
Do yon feci weak, debilitated, easily tired?
Does a little extra exertion produce palpita
tion of the heart? Docs your liver, or your kid
neys, frequently get ont of order? Do you have
pells of short breathing, or dyspepBla? Are your
bowels constipated? Do you have spells of fainting,
or rushes of blood to the head? Is your memory Im
paired? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon this
subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of
company, of life? Do you wish to be left alone, to
get away from everybody? Does any little thing
make you start or Jump? Is your sleep broken or
resUess? Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The
bloom on your cheek as bright? Do you enjoy your
self In society as well? Do you pursue your business
with the same energy? Do you feel as much con
fidence In yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag
ging, given to fits of melansholy? If so, do not lay
It to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless
nights? Tour back weak, your knees weak, and
have but little appetite, and you attribute this to
dyspepsia or liver complaint?
Did you ever think that those bold, defi
ant, energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those who are in per
fect health?' Ton never hear such men com
plain of being melancholy, of nervousness, of pal
pitation of the heart. They are never afraid they
cannot succeed in business ; they dont become sad
and discouraged; they are always polite and plea
sant in the company of ladles, and look you and
them right in the face none of your downcast looks
or any other meanness about them.
Bow many men, from badly cured diseases, have
brought about that state of weakness that has re
duced the general system so much as to Induce al
most every other disease idiocy, lunacy, paralysis,
spinal affections, suicide, and almost every other form
of disease which humanity is heir to, and the real
cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and
nave doctored for all but the right, one.
These diseases require the use of a Diuretic
Helmbold's Fluid Extract Bnchu
Is the great Diuretic, and a cerialn cure for dis
eases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsy, Or
ganio Weakness, Female Complaints, General De
bility, and all diseases, whether existing in Male or
Female, from whatever cause originating, and no
matter of how long standing.
If no treatment is submitted to, Consumption or
Insanity may ensue. Our flesh and blood are sup
ported from these sources, and the health and hap
piness, and that of posterity, depend upon prompt
use of a reliable remedy.

FIRST EDITION
ITALY.
Political Revelation What Is Foreshadowed.
The London Daily Xews says:
"A little book has just been published in Italy,
wnlch contains some private correspondence not
without Interest. It Is the Diary of Admiral I'ersano,
who commanded the Italian fleet at Liana, per
haps, If we consider the agitated state of Italy at
the present moment, the rnoHt Interesting portion
of the work Is that in which details are given of the
opinion entertained by the Government In lHtiO of
General Garibaldi. For among the Republicans It
Is frequently urged that, notwithstanding his many
services, the Government, would have been glad at
any time to get rid of Garibaldi, so great was their
fears of his extremely liberal views. Some private
letters from Count favour, which Admiral lVrsano
has made bold to print, undoubtedly hIiow that the
Government had not a little mlHtniHt of Garibaldi;
but, on the other hand, they also snow 'hat what
ever their suspicion, It was not enough to hinder
them irom lending willing aid to him when ho was
serving the Interests of his king.
"One of these letters, a rather ambiguous one
more especially exhibits the vacillation of thu gov
ernment. First, Count Cavour, writing to the Ad
miral, says: 'ou have done, and will do well In
maintaining the most friendly relations with General
darlbaldv.' lint he continues, 'I advise you, never
theless, not to trust him implicitly, but rather be
somewhat reserved.' The reason given for tin
advice Is peculiar, if not paltry: 'Remember that
Garibaldi has lived several years In America, and
Mill longer in solitude. lie has, In consequence,
contracted habits of excessive reserve and general
mistrust.' Having thus given voice to his doubts,
Count Cavour thinks it right to relterato his conti
nence In him: 'He is sincere In his nnection for the
King;' then, checking himself, he finishes the sen
tence 'but he loves him after a fashion of his own.'
"As for the political skill and judgment of Gari
baldi, Count favour regarded them with contempt,
'lie wishes to unite Italy,' he savs. 'This Is good,
but I fear lie Intends to employ the most perilous
means. However, if only the General Is reasonable,
the government of the King must march witli him
The utility of an alliance with Garibaldi was never
denied, and Cavour concludes as follows: 'I would
not for an Instant hesitate to oiler my resignation, if
that would facilitate the establishment of perfect
harmony between Garibaldi and the Ministry, on
the condition, however, that he will not commit any
lollies.'"
WHOLESALE MURDER.
Fenrfnl (.'rimes In North Cnrollnn Confession
Ol ANNIINHlnH.
For a long time past detectives have been engaged
In Jones and Lenoir counties, N. C, in ferreting out
the perpetrators of the many cold-blooded murders
which have there been committed, and their labors
have not been in vain. On Tuesday, August 24,
eighteen persons were arrested In tlio vicinity of
Klnston, and lodged in Newborn Jail. Since that
time eleven others from the same locality have vol
untarily come forward and made ailldavits to the
most startling disclosures. Fearing lest swift pun
ishment for their crimes should overtake them they
have chosen to reveal all, hoping thus to secure leni
ency to themselves. In these ailldavits they acknow
ledge that they have each been cognizant of, or en
gaged with one or more of the prisoners referred to
k n taking the lives of nearly forty Union men since
tne ciose oi me war. -jneygive tne particulars oi
the cold-blooded butchery of the prisoners taken
from Klnston jail last spring, and murdered upon
the bridge over the Neuse river, near that town.
Thoy swear to the murder of three United States
soldiers (colored) who were visiting their friends at
Klnston. These soldiers are supposed to have re
turned to their regiment, and are doubtless reported
on the roll of the latter as deserters. There have
probably been more than two hundred horses and
mules stolen in Lenoir and adjoining counties since
the war, and these ailldavits account for the greater
proportion of them. These men all profess to be
Democrats and members of the Ku-Klux Klan, now
known as the Constitutional Union Guards (C. II.
G."s). They implicate In their statements many of
the most prominent Democrats of that section. The
C. U. G. is a widespread organization, extending
not only through North Carolina but many other
Southern States. No less than four leading Repub
licans of Newbern had been designated to be killed
by members of this same Lenoir county band of C.
I . G.'s, belore their arrest. The prisoners are now
awaiting examination by the Circuit Judge.

The Charleston Courier of the 1st Inst, says: "The

JIKiHLV USELESS.
The Itritlsh War Vennel Inconstant.
An Kngllsh Rear Admiral writes thus to the Lon
don Times:
"I am glad to see, by the Times of tills day, that
the inconstant is to lorm one of the Channel Meet
that Is going to sea under the personal inspection
of the first Lord of the Admiralty, and hope he
will lie able to satisfy himself on a point which
has puzzled me and many other naval otllcers who
have seen the Inconstant, viz., of what use she
is as a man-of-war? She Is of above 4000 tons,
and curries ten ls-ton guns on her main deck, and
six 6);-ton guns on her upper deck. She Is called
an ii on-clad, which is understood to mean a ship
that is Impenetrable to shot or shell, except ai
short range; but the truth is, her scantling is so
slight, ami she is so weakly built, that grape shot
would go ( lean through her, ami snot or shell would
penetrate her Bides at any distance with thu greatest
ease, and therefore any gunboat able to carry a gun
of the sime calibre and lunge as her own, and suill
cient speed, could destroy her. Her great dimen
sions and slight build make her vibrations very great
when going at full speed, rendering It dillleult to
tiro a good shot, particularly from her chase guns,
without en a; the engines. Landing such ships as
the Inconstant is extravagant folly, and I understand
there are two more ships building like her. We
have yet to know the eileot produced on the ship
herself when she tires her mulndeck gnus together
or in quick succession. If she is only an experiment,
then 1 say she Is a very costly one (her cost of build
ing being xaio.oooj, and so much the more as she la,
as a mau-ot-war, a perfect failure."
ERIE.
Iih Conlrul la the West.
I'row the St. Joseph t'nion, Aug. 81.
In otllcial circles yesterday a startling rumor was
current. It was said that reliable Information had
been received to the cllect that the New York and
Krie Railroad Company had bought up a majority of
the stock of the Hannibal and St, Joseph Rullroad,
and would hereafter have the controlling interest.
It has been kuown for some time thai, several par
ties were engaged In buying this stock, anil It was
supposed that all were acting us agents for some
great monopoly, out the party was not known.
. If the report be true, the Erie road now controls a
great central line from the Atlantic ocean to the
MiHsouii river, embracing New York and Krie, Buf
falo and Krie, I-ake Shore, Cleveland and Toledo,
Toledo, Wabash and Western, and Hanuibal and St
Joseph Railroads. The power of this combination
will be Immense. What erred It will have upon St.
Joseph remains to be seen, but goutleiuen who are
well posted are disposed to regard It favorably. It
may be surmised that the St. Joseph and Denver City
Railroad will be eflected, and that immediate steps
will be taken to push it on towards the Pacific, as it
will be an important connecting link between the
Uq u'.ciuis.
THE rillLADELriHA FORGERIES.
Arrcut of one of the Alleged Cltr Warrant
frorffrrn In New York How he wan Dis
covered. Prom the Mew 1'orJt World of thit morning.
During last spring and summer a largo number of
Philadelphia merchants and brokers were victimized
bv an Ingenious forger of city warrants, which sud
denly made their appearance in the market from
some unknown source. Tho warrants were
exact fac-slmlles of the genuine warrants, being
printed In particular Imitation of the genuine docu
ments, and the lining In was done in a very skilful
and businesslike manner. So Ingenious was the
fraud, and so well executed were the forgeries, that
before the nature of the paper could be ascertained
between llH.ooo and Jvo.oooof the fraudulent issue
was In circulation. The warrants were all drawn
on the bounty fund of Philadelphia, and the forge
ries were for sums rv.ugltig from I'iO to fioo each.
No trace of the siiceesslul forgers could no ob
tained, and the Philadelphia authorities became
alarmed as the forged warrants catno pouring in
to the treasurer of that city. During the) mouth
of July last a young man named Gussen,
who had been spending some months at Cape
May, stopping at one of the fashionable hotels,
and apparently with unlimited means, wa
drowned while bathing. The remains of the
unfortunate young man were soon after washed
ashore, and the coroner took charge of them, as
well as the etfects of deceased. On Ins trunk being
opened the first clue to the Philadelphia forgeries
was obtained, for there were found several of the
blank warrants ready for tilling up and signing.
The coroner telegraphed to the Philadelphia authori
ties, and several of the victimized l'lilladclpliluns
went to Capo May and at once Identified the deceased
as the man from whom they had purchased the
forged warrants. The body of Gussen was taken to
Philadelphia and burled by his friends, in the trunk
of the deceased forger was found a photograph of a
young man who was known as Martin Gray, a
companion of deceased. On seeing this photo
graph, It was recognized as that of the person
from whom a number of the forged warrants
had been purchased. As Gray hailed from this city,
Chief Kelso, of the detective force, was notified,
and the photograph was sent on to that otllcial. The
case was given in charge of Detectives Farley and
Lustace, who learned that Gray had left the city and
was "sporting'' about at the watering places, aud
was heard of at Saratoga and other places of public
resort. A few days ago hu returned to this city and
yesterday afternoon was arrested by Messrs. Farley
and Eustace, In Broadway, near Fourteenth street,
lie was taken to the Central Olllce and locked up.
Chief Kelso at one telegraphed to the authorities of
the (Quaker City, who replied by telegraph, requesting
the Chief to hold on to the accused, and stating that
an olllcer would be despatched at once with a requi
sition from Governor Geary for his rendition. Gray
is a young man of good education and excellent
address. lie dresses in the most fashionable style,
anil is one of the genus "sport" so prevalent in New
York. Gray is merely an alias, his proper name
being Martin Llndenboru, although he was known
in this city
of llenrvL
in this city as Lcland. He was a clerk iutheoillce
nry L. Clinton several years ago, and was at
that time a promising ami rising young man. He is
locked up at. Police Headquarters to await the action
of the Philadelphia authorities.

the August If nil. 'I h. re whs a full attendance of lawyers.
District Attorneys Slicppard, llagvrt, anil Dechert being
within thu bar, but there wan quiteaBlim audience pre

APPLICATION FOR HAOOF.RTY'S DISCHARGE.
This well-known prisoner was brought up to-day in
order to be present at the making of an application for
his discharge undor the two term rule of the act of lHliO,
4th section. His counsel, Mr. Brooke, stated that on the
last day of the April sessions, lH'i:, the prisoner surren
dered hiniHelf into custody to be tried upon certain bills
of indictment then pending against him; since which
time he has lain in prison without trial under these
charges, though he has made no request for a continu
ance, but on the contrary, has repeatedly aked that ho
might be tried. Those lacts ne deemed amply sntticient,
under tbe existing laws, to entitle him to bis rolease.
Mr. Saeppard replied th t fho reoorde of this Court
showtd that the Ocmmomvoa'th bud made strenuous
efforts to secure the attendance of her witnesses, which
ellortslailod, and in coneqnem.o theieof a motion for
oontinuanoe was niaile ,ta granted, thus relieving the
Commonwealth of all snspi. ion of Inches and tuning from
tne prisoner the benefit of the two-term rule. MoreoTer,
he was of opinion that the prisoner's motion was prema
ture, for this, the fourth oi tho modified terms, had nit
yet expired, and his Honor could not jiidically know that
yet ere the lining of the Unnrt at tho end of the torm
1 ne prisoner migni ne triea ; ana tngreroro oe wiougiii, i ne
proper time for this application vi.uld be on Monday noxt.
Kut ovar and above these grreun Is, ho desirad t) make
an 'ndeperdent aDplication for the n.nnraanwcalth. In
the record of this Court was an entry o' the trial of Jnmes
Haggerty on the charge of borglary, a eonfetion, and sen
tence to a term of ten years in tho Kustern f euitentiary
On the 2sth of August, lsiirt, he was pardoned by his Kx
cellenoy Governor Uiirtin. That pardon, however, was not
absolute, but was conditional, tho condition being a sub
sequent one, that he should forthwith leave the country.
As he understood the primary rules of law in regurd to
conditional grants, and likewise tile decision! of our own
.Supremo Court, unless t he condition wuss;rictly complied
witli, the failure abrogated the grant and the grantee lost
the benefit of it. Now this prisoner either did not leave
the country, or if he did he soon returned ; in either case
he had not in factor in law tubilled the condition, and was
liableto rearrest and recommittal to serve out the origin tl
term. For these reasons he moved for a rule against tbe
prisoner to show cause why lie should not bo recommitted
to the Penitentiary undor the sentence contained in the
record.
Mr. Brooke insisted that the question properly before
tile Court was the one raised by the prisoner's petition tor
discharge upon habeas corpus, and that should be fully
disjiosed of pefore Mr. gbeppurd s ox parte motion v.is
taken up. Kut, with rogard to that motion, ho
desired to make a few retuaras. In the first case thre
was no proof before the Court that the James
Haggerty, whose trial, conviction, sentence, and
pardon had been spoken of, was the James H.tggcrty
in the dock, and without such proof this man could not be
affected by these records. In the second place tho mo
ment a Governor grants a pardon the grantee is at ones
released, free from any restraint more than is imposed
upon other citizens, and such a thing as a conditional par
don was unknown to our Constitution or statute luws, and
a Governor had no right to make such a pardon
Now the ohjoct of tho two-term rule was to protect
the prisoner from the negligonee and malice of
ovil-disposed prosecutors; and though tho Common we ilth
had been guilty of laches, yet if the plea of inability to
procure the attendance of witnesses were to hold good for
one period of four months, it might with equal force be
allowed for a year: and whether the cause he
aches or not, the unjustifiable hardship
uHin the prisoner was the same. The decisions of tho
courts and the worts of the act itself made it compulsory
upon a judge to prunt the application for dis 'hargo after
a four months' failure to try by the Commonwoalth.no
delay havinghoen caused by the defendant.
Assistant District Attorney Hagert said that the very
pith of tho Court'a decision must he found in the vry sec
tion read by Mr. Brooke, that the object of this law
was to protect prisoners against theneghgeni-e and malice
of prosecutors. Certainly no such CHUse of complaint ex
isted in this case, for it was well known that the Common
wealth hud exerted herself to tho utmost to bring about
tho trial of Haggerty. He had been a fugitive trom jus
tice, and titter hi. ving evaded the process of the law b.r
,...,,... . I....... I, I. .-...) luniKidf into cut to lv. the
witnesses for the prosecution having in the meantime lied
tiie jurisdiction. , , , . -i.
At tho conclusion of the discussion, his Honor said that
inanjnfthe questions presented to him were novel and
would therefore require consideration. He thought,
however, the District Attorney's mot on for a rulo should
lie granted returnable next Saturday, the prisoner in the
meantime remaining in cu-'ody, and also that ome proof
of the prisoner's identity with tuo person ineiitionod in t,r
records ottered by Die uistnet- A ttorney should bo sub.
nutted ; and, likewise, that Mr. Brooke's motion was in
order; further t. an this he would not say, but would re
serve his decision for the present.

there is little doubt but that tiie altered conduct ol
Lady Byron towards her husband was the result of
her father's representation, hacked tip by some
odious story. lie traces the conduct of the wife in
buying up her htibliaud's memoir aud destroying it,
and asks if the evidence of a party destroying the
evidence of an opponent can lie accepted. The
same act of depriving Byron of an opportunity for
self-juHtlllcatiou deprived his wife of the right to ad

this will be the ultimate verdict of the public.

The Circus Alarder.
Tho Times of Friday contained the report of tin;
circumstances of the brutal murder of William Lake,
the veteran circus manager, at Gran by, Missouri, bv
a rutlian named Jake Kllyon. Yesterday nuiniliijr.
Kilyon was found In a skill moored near 8c Charles,
by Oiilcer Charles G. Johnson, city marshal of St,
Charles, who recognized him from the description
published in the Times. The murderer had come
down the Missouri in a skirt, and, fatigued with his
extraordinary eiforta to escapo, had laid down and
fallen asleep, In which condition he was found. After
being properly secured he was closely questioned,
and gave several contradictory accounts concerning
his movements for a week past, which fully Justified
the marshal In holding him. Yesterday afternoon
Mr. Johnson waited ou the chief of police in this
city, who telegraphed to the authorities at Granby.
He will start to-day with his prisoner for the scene
of the murder, where It is probable that ho will meet
with swift and deserved punishment. 7. Louis Tioies

An I'nuiltlsatf d Sell.
A IScrlin correspondent, writing on the 19th nit.,
dcxcrilies a number of velocipede feats which aston
ished the stolid Berlinites, and concludes by speak
ing of "one great sell ' as follows:
"And now for the second feat, which Is not so
much one of veloclpedlsm as one of raising the
wind. Large posters announced last week that
Malmstroui, a SvvediHli velocipedist, would drive
his machine along a tight rope ninety feet from
tho ground. On Sunday afternoon a few hundred
people paid their money for the best places to see
this wonderful perlormance, which was to take
place near the Alsen Itrucke, and a lew thousand
others looked ou from outside. The exhibition
tiiat followed was certainly a hold one. not from a
velocipedist ic point of view, but as an attempt to
swindle the Berlin people with 9111I1 an arrant piece
of humbug. Attached to the veloctpedo was a sort
of pendulum, weighted with about live or six
hundredweight, which made it almost physically im
possible for the uiuchir.o to diverge from its vertical
position.
"To make tho chances of an accident still more
improbable, there were Iron bar ul each side as a
sort of balustrade, so that under no circumstances
could the machine fall over altogether. It was then
drawn along the slightly inclined rope at an eleva
tion of about thirty feet, by live or six men, by means
of cords, und then allowed to descend slowly with
the bold velocipedist upon it. The people were so
enraged at the imposition that had been practised
upon them, that the exhibition was received with
groans aud yells, and the police had the greatest
dlltlnilty io saving tho principal actor from being
lynched on the spot. A little rioting followed, In the
course of which one unfortunate young man was
mistaken for the real offender, and experienced i
some very rough treatment. F.veiitually, however,
a small party of soldiers was called in to assist tho
police, and quiet was restored without any serious
injury to lile or limb."
Nkw PxssKNfiKR ftau.KOAD Lisb. Tho Second

Monday next a new line of green car.4 from Berks
