Philadelphia, Pa
Twentytwo years since they were first intro
(laced into this country from Germany, dtuing
which time they have undoubtedly perforuied
more cure% and benelitted suffering humanity
to a greater extent, than any other remedies
known to the public.
These remedies will effectually mire Liver Com

, rrostrs.
Labor, fianishlPe
POsnre,
Fevers, Eta .
There is na medicine extant impel to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is ira
parted to the whole system, the appetite is
strengthened, food Is enjoyed, the stomach di
gests prompUy, the blood and healthy, is ;vered; the cora—
plexion becomes sound the yellow
tinge is eradicated from the eyed, abloom Is
given to the cheeks, and the Weak and nervous
Invalid becomes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced In life, and feeling the hand
of time weighllig heavily upon them, with all
its attendant ills, will find In the use of this
BITTERS, or the,TONIC, an elixir that will in
stil new life Into their veins, restore In a meas
ure the energy and ardorof more youthful days,
build np their shrunken forms and give health
and happiness to their remaining Years.
NOTxcE.
It is a well established fact that frilly one-half
of the female portion of our popudallon
are seldom in the eri- T jopment of good
health; or, to use Li their -own expres
sion, "never feel well." They are lan
guid, devoid of all energy, erxtremelv nervous,
and have no appetite. •
To thii elms of *persons the BITTERS, or the
TONIC, is especinily recommended. ,
Weak and delicate children are made strong
by the use of tither of these remedies. They
will cure every' cave of 1 , 1101,18111.79, without

[From the Rochester tlattisi.l
We hare for a lbw days past been Making
faithibl inquiry into the question, 54 to who
originated and enforced the policy of leaving
Federal soldiers, taken by the enemy, to starve
and rot in rebel prison pens; end_ have at lait
struck upon evidence that appears to remove
all doubt. This evidence, we are glad to say,
is of a character and comes from a source that
at once carries conviction and relieves us of
any liability to suspicion of unfairness that
might otherwise be entertained by our Repub
lican friends. We find it in the documentary .
record .of Mit immaculate authority, the
"Committee on the Conduct of the War"—
in a report made to that body by the chief of
the Impeachment Managers, 314 Gee. B. F.
Butler. which at this time, in the eyes of the
.Radical party of the cot/Nifty especially, adds
- great werg.nt to tilt testimony and serves to
give addildon.allimportance and interest to the
subject under consideration.
In his report Gen. Butler recites the facts
concerning the disagreement about the ex
change of prisoners existing when he was
entrusted with the duties of Commissioner by
the Secretary of War, in December, 1863. Ile
succeeded daring the following three months,
after much trouble, in arranging the basis of
an exchange, man for man and officer for
officer, with the rebel Commissioner, Mr.
Quid, with whom he held conference at Fort
ress Monroe. Ile then says:
wita r airlifsp t ilafsaints possible could be
adjusted, and would then.confer with him
farther, either meeting hits at City Point or .
'elsewhere for that ptrrp In the meantime
'the moduotaes of Bich and wounded and ape=
cial,exchanges should go on.
"Lieut. Gen. Grant visited FortreiS Monroe
on the Ist of April, being the first time I had
ever met him.
"To him the state of the negotiations as to
exchange was verbally communicated, and
Most emphatic verbal directions were ,re
ceived from the Lieutenant Genet:id:lotto take
any step by which another able bodied man
should be exchanged until ftutheiorderti from
him."
P. A. CLUB.
On the 14th of April,' General Butler re
celsed a telegnun from General Grant at
Washington, atating that the whole subject
of exchange of prisoners had been referred to
him as follows:
Wasursurott, 11. p. m, April 14,18(14.
Maj. Gen. Butler: Your report respecting
negotiations with Comixtisaiouer Oold lot the
exchange of prisoners of war, has been refer
red to me for my orders.
Until examined by me, and my orders
thereon arereceive,d by you, decline all furth
er demonstrations. •
U. S. Gnanx, Lieut. Gen.
Six days later,- after General Grant bad
" examined,"
ho sent a long telegnirn to Gen
eral Butler, stating that he had-been empow
ered to, "give such instructions as I may
deem proper," and he gave instructions of
which General Butler says:
"Of course these instructions, in the then
state of negotiaticins, rendered any further
exchange impossible, and retaliation useless."
General Miller says he then made an effort
to have the sick and wounded excepted, so
that they might be exchanged, and he re
ceived the following telegram in reply
Wasursarox, 9.30 p. in., April 30,1861.
Hat Gen. B. F. Butler: Receive all the
sick and wounded the Confederate authorities
will send you, but send no more in exchange.
U. S. Gamer, Lieut. Gen.
Uwin this extraordin "instruction" Gen
eral Butler remarks as Bows:
"To obtain delivery of even sick and wound
ed prisoners without any return wouldbe a
somewhat difficult operation, save that the,
enemy, by giving us our wounded and sick'
in their band, we retaining all the rebel sick
and wounded in ours, burdened us with the
care and cost of all the sick and - Wounded of
both aides—an operation of which it is diffi
cult to see the strategatic value,and only tote
defended because of its humanity in rescuing
our wounded from the destitution of seerings
permitted to them by Confederates."
In August the question of exchanging pris
oners was again up, the rebel Commissioners
having renewedthe ofity to give man for man
and officer for officer. But Gen. Grant inter
posed, and in a telegram to Gen. Btler, da-
ted City Point, August 18, 1864, said:
• On the subject of exchange, I differ with
Gen Iliteluasck ; it Is hard on our men held in-
Southern prisons not to exchange them, but
is humanity to those lett in the ranks to fight
our battles. Every man released on parole I
or otheedise becomes an active soldier against i
us at once either directly or indirectly. If we
commence a system of exchange which libe
rate, all prisoners taken, we will have to tight
on until the whole South is exterminated. If
we hold those men caught, they amount to
no more than dead men. At this particular
time, to release all rebel prisoners North
would insure Sherman's defeat, and would
compromise our safety here. -
H. 8. Greaser, Lieut. Gen.
Here we have a dill and free avowal that
the leaving of tens of thousands of poor Fede
ral soldiers, whose patriotism and bravery
carried them to the &oat of battle, to starve,
and rot, and die in rebel prison . pens was a
matter of studied policy—a part of the tactics
by which General Grant made war upon the
rebellion. And the people will remember
that while this inhuman policy was being
mercilessly carried out they were told-by the
government and by the organs of the admini
stration that the whole difficulty about the
exchange was on the part of the rebels—that
our government was wflhlpg and anxious to

words: - • ,

spent as a part of the system of attack upon
the rebellion, devised by the wisdom of the
General-In.chlet of the armies to destroy it
by depletion, depending upon our superior
numbers to win victory at last"
The loyal mourners will doubtless derive
solace from this feet ; and appreciate nll the
more highly the genius which conceived the
plan and the success won at so great a cost.
It is Gen. Butler, chief Man „aoer of Im
peachment and leader of the Radical party
flow supporting Gen. Grant for the Presiden
cy, who states ese facts ambushes this criti
cism upon the 'originator and executor of the
policy of sacrificing, uselessly and unnecessa
rily, more lives than the British lost in all
their wars with Napoleon. We have nothing
to add.

I called on Grant and congratulated him
en his nomination, and assured him of the
Weeksville Grant Club, which I intended to
join as soon as I gut home.
In that channingly terse and non-commit
tal way he responded: "Marshall Brown's
pups have got their eyes open !"
Alter this explicit response there can he

then called on Colfax and assured him
that he had been the choice of Weeltsville
from the start, that the resolutions endorsing
Fenton were merely complimentary, out of
gratitude for the pardon of a relative of the
Secretary of the club, who, having no funds
of his own at the bank, had used the name
of a gentleman who bad, op a 'check for a
thousand dollars, for which the • prejudiced
criminal authorities had sent him to Sing

I also reminded Schuyler that we were
brother typos. Re was a printer in his early
life, and you no doubt remember with grati
tude how I came to your assistance at that
time of the printer's strike, and set up a por

I meant to have followed it up and be
come a regular printer, but when Mrs. O'Lan
us heard that you were employing young
ladies to set type she objected.
She said it wasn't proper for a married
man to be setting up with the girls.
As Grant has so eloquently expressed it,
I said, "Let us have peace," and dropped the
case for the pen, which is mightier than the
shooting-stick.
Colfax and I were old friends after this In
troduction. I told him that his rulings in
the chair had always elicited my warmest
admiration, and as lien Wade had been found
wanting, no fitter man for promotion could
have been selected, and that I had the fullest
conviction that he would go up .In Novem

!And consolation In the Chicago platform,
which comprehends everything la general
and nothing in particular, and taken in con
nection with Grant's_ letter of acceptance
holds out a political prospect on which the
imagination can exercise in perfect freedom,
without being cramped by defined dogmas
about the national credit, negro suffrage or
anything 'whatever.

President—Corry 0' Lanus.
Secretary—Licinius O'Tard.
Treasurer—Titus' O'Blique.
Sergeant-at-Arms—Cai n e Marcus Mulligan.
Resolutions, endorsing Grant and Colfax,
and pledging our undivided support to the
Chicago platform, which O'Blique had cut
out of a newspaper, were unanimously
adopted.
Mr. O'Tard moved that a committee be ap
pointed to draft a constitution and by-laws.
Mr. Mulligan, who is an original Radical,
opposed the motion. The Constitution, he
said, was a Copperhead contrivance, and was
played out.
Mr. O'Tard said the gentleman was labor
ing under a misapprehension. The motion
had no reference to the Constitution of the
United States. •
Mr. Mulligan objected that the word Con
stitution was not to be found in the Chicago
platform, or any other truly loyal document.
Mr. O'Bliquo raised a point of order, and
as a question of privilege called for the pre
vious question and demanded the ayes and
noes.
Mr. O'Tard asked- the gentleman if he
would give way for an explanation ?
3frAtfulligan wanted to know if an expla
nation was admissible under Congressional
practice ?
'rite Chair ruled that when a privileged
question became &point of order, and a mem
ber had tie floor on a previous question, the
amendment not having been seconded could
not take precedence of a motion for a divi
sion unless five members rose and demanded
it, and as there were only four members now
present, it was obviously out of order, and
the Chair so ruled.
Mr. Mulligan appealed from a decision of
the Char, and if nobody would second the
motion he would second it himself and was
not going to be put down. .
The Chair ruled the gentleman to order.
Mr. Mulllgan—"What kind of order dovou

The Chair, (severely)—"Mr. Mulligan, if
you repeat. those language I shall commit
you for contempt of court. Thomas Jeffer
son was one"of the Fathers of the Republic."
Mr. O'Blique—"The Chair is out of order.
Jefferson's family relations have nothing to
do with the subject before the house, , '
Mr. O'Tard Wished to know if •the motion
before the house was debatable, because if
it wasn't, he insisted upon being heard be
fore it was decided.
Mr. Mulligan wanted to know if the gen
tleman was going to talk all night.
Mr. O'Tard said it was none of Mr. Mulli
gan's business; if he felt dry he could go out
and get a drink.
Mr. Mulligan wished the gentleman to un
derstand that he paid for his liquor.
Mr. O'Tard said poSsibly be did, when he
couldn't get any one else to pay for it.
The Chair—" Gentlemen, as our eloquent
leader observes, 'Let us have peace,' and
proceed to vote on the main question, which
the Secretary will now please to read."
The Secretary read the question, put in
Congressional shape :
Rewired, That the Weeksville Grant and
Colfax 'Club do now adjourn to take a drink.
Carried unanimously.
The Club intends to conduct the campaign
with eaeriq.
The nominations of Grant and Colfax have
been received with the utmost enthusi

The Memphis correspondent of the Louis

said Forrest. "In fact, it did not - cross my
mind until it was urged on me, by some of the
most prominent citizens and politicians in
Tennessee. I thought at the start that it
would be imprudent to send me ; but they
argued differently, and when I at last gave
my consent, I did not feel at liberty to retire

self in the hands of others he has no right to
be run off by false delicacy."
" You mean to go, of course?"
"To be sure 1 do. It won't be more cu
rious, I reckon, to see me in a Democratic
convention than it was to see Joe Brown in
a Radical convention."
"Rut he's recanted all his sins, and you
havn't; in other words, he goes with the ru
ling power, and you don't."
" There is a good deal of mistake about
that," he answered. " The Radicals like Joe
Brown because lie is a Radical. I suppose
the same rule would apply to me with the
Democrats. Why, sir, the warmest reception
I've had since the war was from General
Sherman.. I'm not afraid of the Democratic
soldiers or the Republican soldiers. I like
General Hancock, and I don't believe there
is a brave or reasonable Union soldier who
dislikes or doubts me as a man. I went into
the war because my vote had been unable to
preserve the peace. I took a through ticket,
of course, and L fought and lost as much as
any one else; certainly as much as I could.
Now the war's over, and I'm under oath to
keep my parole. Suppose I consider-myself
an outlaw. anti refuse to take part in what's
going on, does that help me to keep my oath?
Won't folks that are disposed to be ill-natured
say rm sullen and dangeroul, and only wait
ing to break out in a fresh place? That's
what they have said. Now I give the coun

when I join an active, organized body of
talon men in the North, and I proclaim when
I go to New York that I am at least as well
reconstructed as Joe Brown, who was a se
cessionist."
"Are you committed to any candidate ?"
"None whatever, except as the Nashiille
Convention committed me. I guess the dele
gation will have no trouble deciding who it
will go for. We don't want to dictate to the
party. What we do want is the best man.
It anat because we hate Grant that we are
anxious to beat his ticket. It's because the
Radicals won't give us a chance if they keep
in power. Look at Tennessee. That's Radi
calism, and that's why I'rn a Derocinrat'irc

`You are certainly prudent"
"And so I ought to be." •
There is a good deal of misconception
about Forrest's life before the war. I have
seen it stated in one place that he was a negro
trader, and in another that he was a gambler.
Neither is .true. Before the war he stood as
well as any man in West Tennessee or North
Mississippi.. His father was a Middle Tenn
essee blacksmith of irreproachable character,
and, though the advantages of Bedford were
extremely limited, he always held his head
up, and had made by successful speculation
when the war broke out at least half a million
of dollars. All this he lost. As for his moral
character, ,it never was suspected. Ile has
been through life a sober, hard-working, keen
trading man, devoted to hishome imtl respec
ted by every one. He- is not now a rich but
a poor man. Ile lost all he had by the war.
But his energy is matchless, and there is little
doubt that he will rebuild his ruined fortunes.
In his own household he is a very devoted
husband and father. I don't think he has any
ambition to figure as a politican. His present
attitude as leader of the Tennessee delegation
—which he will undoubtedly be at New
York—b an accident. The people desired
him to go as an illustration, perhaps as a test,
of the question of exclusion or'non-exclusion
of representative Confederates from affairs.
I venture to predict .that his appearance in
the Democratic Convention will be hailed as
a good omen, and that he will make a speech
before that body which will serve as an ex
cellent campaign document. lam rather in
clined to think that his preference is for llan-
I cock; but I have no right to say, for he is not
, communicative on the subject. If he is for
I Hancock, it is on the idea that one good sol
dier should ha the friend of another good sol
dier, though they fought on opposing sides.
Colfax's Opinion of Grant Le%s than a
Year Ago. •
Schuyler Colfax, lesan than a year ago, was
a candidate fof President, and opposed to
Grant. The following circular from the In
diana Head Quarters was circulated by his
friends and at the time it excited much com
ment. It was known among politicians as
the "Colfax Circular." We give it below :
Sixteen reasons why our Republican party
should not rim Gen. Grant for President
in 1868:
I—lle has all he dexerres at the hands of
the American people.
2—He could not deliver an Inaugural Ad
dress.
3—Because no Dotnocrat has succeeded
for the past quarter of a century as President
of the 'United States.
4—Because at this peculiar period in the
history of our great country we need an able
and esperieneed Atatesman at the "White
House."
s—Because one hundred thousand graces
andlonamillions of freedmen demand a Re
publican President and Vice President
6—Re is now and always has been a Dem
ocrat, and has never endorsed the Republi
can•party.
7—Because he has pr ed a:failure in every
capacity outside of the military.
8-114 - claims to have no knowledge of
politics or national affairs.
9—Because all the Democratic and rebel
papers endorse him.
10—He has followed our drunken Demo
cratic Johnson in all his rebellious rows
against Congress and our party.
11—Because he has insulted the Republi
can party by endorsing the removal of the
•Secretary of War, and accepting the posi
tion hitnselt
12—We have one hundred better men for
President.
13—Because all parties claim -him as be
longing to their party.
14-We have the power to elect a states-
Man if we wish to.
15—Because the Detneeratq and rebels have
no other available candidate.
16—Because Illinois gave u.s the immorta
Lincoln, and Indiana offers our most avail
able candidate.

Clawsbn, a Methodist preacher of eccentric manners, sometimes called the `wild man,'
was very popular in Western Virginia some
twenty years ago. lie was cross-eyed and
wiry made, and very dark skinned for a white
man. At times he was surprisingly' eloquent,
always excitable, and once in a while extra
vagant. He once accompanied a brother mi

It— gave the colored preacher the hint, and
of course Clawson was invited to preach. lie
did so, and during the sermon set the impul
sive Africans to shouting all over the house.
This in turn set Clawson to extravagant words
and actions, and he leaped out of the pulpit
like a deer, and began to shake the hands of
the colored brethren and mix in quite happily.
Then pressing through the crowd he found
brother R—, and sitting down beside him,
he threw his arms around his neck, and with

SOUIVD ADVICE.—We heartily endorse the
theory of. an exchange that "there is not
enough of the old fashioned gardening prac-
deed among the people. The time was when
housekeepers, on a very small piece of ground
behind the kitchen, were able to raise the
greater portion of the 'greens' needed in the
culinary econctgay. _ Lim complain
that they are forced to pay too much for corn,
salad, beans, peas, while at the same time
they have the ground at home to raise what
they want ill this line at a trifling cost. An
hour's work every evening in a garden,would
put money into every man's pocket, and at
the saute time increase his wealth. After be
ing confined in a doge office or workshop
all day, a brief exercise -in the fresh, pure air,
digging the earth, trailing vines, trimming
bushes and propping trees, is what every

Trim New York Tribune of Thursday last,
with more candor than discretion; makes the,
confession that the whole "reconstruction"
policy of Congress—which the Radicals have_
been proclaiming as the only hope for a com
plete restoration of the Union—was con
ceived simply for the purpose of keeping that
party in power, despite of its utter condem
nation by the people. Here is the coon.s
sion in the language of the Tribune itself -
"The Republicans, therefore, were abso
lutely compelled to enfranchise the Southeril
blacks or submit to be expelled from power
by the Southern whites. Had they attempt
ed to bid against the Democrats for the favor
and support of the late rebels, they would
inevitably have been outdone. 'Blood: is
thicker than water,' and the Democrats and
rebels united would have outnumbered and
ousted the Republicans as surely as that five
are more than four."
A IttIIDEM, with as much of the element
of dramatic horror in it as if it formed the
subject of fiction, was recently committed in
Munich; Bavaria, by the Canoness Julia de
Evergenyi, alias the Baroness Marta Vey.
The Canoness had an intrigue with the Count
Gustavus Chorinsity, en Austrian officer, 7 10
was married, and had separated from kis
wife, who lived in retirement in Munich.
The canoness found the existence of the •
Countess Chorinsky an obstacle to her
schemes, and resolved to kill the unhappy
lady. She accordingly left Vierrep for Mu
nich, found means to introduce herself to the
Countess under the name of the Baroness
Vay, poisoned her in her apartments and
went back' to Vienna. She was tracked,
brought to trial, and found guilty of the mur
der, and sentenced to twenty years strict
confinement—one week of which is annually
to be passseil in solitary confinement—to
loss of nobility, and to the repayment of the'
cost of the trial.
