Those who have no objection to the coruhtua, Mu of the Bitters, as stated, will use lIOOFIAND'B GERMAN TONIC. They are both equally good. and contain the same medicinal virtues, the choice between the two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonle be ing the most Oalatable.

At...TAcicso,N, Philadelphia, Pa, Twenty-two years since they were drat intro duced Into this country Irma Germany, during which time they have undoubtedly performed more cures, and benefited mattering humanity to a greater extent, than any other remedies known to the public. These remedies will effectually curoLiver Cont e 1 atilt, Jaundice, D3•spepsle, Chronic or Nervous Debititk 10 Chronic Dlarrhcea, Diseases of the Ri neya and all diseas es arising from a dis- ordered Liver, Stomach, or Intestines. • I EDII,ITY, Resulting from nay cause whatever; Prostru, tion. or the System, induced by Severe Labor, Hardships, Exposure, Fevers, Etc. There is no Medicine extant equal to these remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor Is Im parted to the whole system, the appetite is strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach di gests promptly, the blood Is ',Uri:led, the com plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicated from the eyes, 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 weighing heavily upon them, with all its attendant Ms, will and 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 ardor of more youthful days, build up their shrunken forms and give health and happiness to their remaining years. NOTICE. It is a well established fact that fully one - ball of the female portion of our popubtillon aro seldom in the en- T 'joyment of good health ; or, to use _Li their own expres sion, "never t eel well." They are devoid of all energy, extremely nervous, and have no appetite. To thts,closs of persons the BITTEft.4, or the TUNIC, is eapeclally recommended. Weak and delicate children are nuide strong by the use of tither of these remedies. They will cure every case of MARAfiIIUS, without fail. Thousands of certificates have accumula ted In the hands of the proprietor, but space will allow of but few. These t it will be observed, are Men of note and of such standing that they ! must be believed. ; LION. GEORGE W.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SOUTH. Letter from a Candid Republican to a Radical 'Paper. NASHVILLE, TENIV., Aug: 26,18C8. Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Chronicle.] Enrron. CITROXICLE:-.1 have before me your kind letter, in which you are pleased to say, before asking me for "a fair and clear statement of the situation in Tennessee," that you know me to be "perfectly reliable." )Jut, sirs, do you think your fellow-citizens of Pennsylvania generally will believe my statement? Notwithstanding your assur ance, in advance, of my reliability, perhaps It may assist in dispelling clouds of i prejudice in the minds of some readers, if I state tide, what you know very well to bp .true; that I tuts Pennsylvanian by birth, was ever an emancipationist, and wean Unionist through out the late political warfare of sections— that I am one of the very few white people in Tennessee who are allowed to vote. Though an undisputed voter, I am not clear in my mind that I shaU vote at all ra the coming Presidential election, because I can not exactly see how my vote eau accomplish anything. As to the two parties which have nominated candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency I can say this, most consci entionsly If I could cast my own vote, and that of every voter in the State, for the can didates who would sootiest restore the equi librium beween taxation and representation, svould suffer much hardship to cast them, whether those candidates are the Republican or the Democratic nominees. Thus fitr by way of introduction. rni srrvAT ) tol , , - TENNEssr.F. You ask not only for a statement of the situation, but also of the causes that have lately been and now are at work to produce strife in Tennessee. I shall endeavor, lirst, to state briefly and plainly, the situation. By this I — understand situation of public af fairs—the relationship between the Govern ment - and the ,governed : the relationship between the tax payer and tax collector, be -tween those who control both the purse and the sword, and those who pay taxes to sus tain both the purse and the•sword. The entire power of the State, then, rests in The hands of the negroes. I suppose you have few such negroes about Pittsburgh— few in all the great States of Pennsylvania. If I should describe their ignorance,Their indo lence,their dishonesty and deep depravity, by stating actual facts which daily come under my observrition, some of your readers would ref ject say statements as fictitious. 'Ladies and gentlemen who have lived all their days in their happy Pennsylvania, or Ohio, or New York homes, will not believe that men, wo men and children, who have beard the gos pel preached all their lives,aad who_dwelt comfortably in Christian families, till the war severed their social connections, could be so degraded in body, mind, and morals,.as are these negroes, who to-day hold in their hands the political power of Tennessee. I say, the negroes hold all power, because the number of whites permitted to vote is so small as to be absolutely contemptible. And these few are so completely under the arbitrary sway of commissioners of registration, that voting in the last election is no guarantee of per ! mission to vote in the next. REGISTRATION SYSTEM The Commissioners of registration are ap pointed directly by the Governor, and when ever the complexion of a 'registration does not suit him, he is empowered by the law to annul it and to appoint a new commissioner, Rho will make an enrollment of voters more in accordance with his wishes. This power is exercised freely. These registration agents not only commission the voters, but bold the elections, selecting the Judges, Receivers, and Clerks. Under 'a • former registration law, passed since the recognition of the• State, elections were held by.direction of the Sheriff and County Courts. Elections thus held se cured a respectable, though small minority of members of the Legislature; adverse to the Governor—generally Republican. When the partisans of the Governor saw' this, they excluded most of the anti-Brownlow mem bers, end then remodeled the registration law.. TELE. LEGISLATUItr. While the power is thus placed in the bands of the ne,groes, it is directed by a few white men--ehtelythose who gave the bal lot to the negro. These ingratiate them selves with the negreez, and manage to wield their votes in solid bodkw. Thewhite direc tors of this joint stock laciness are not all from the Northern States. :,thy are simply irresponsible, needy adventureta, from every where. Quite a fair proportion•Of Ahem are native Tennesseeaus. To illustrate, ; will state, that of seventy-eight members .of ,the present Tennessee Bouts of Representatives.. whose birth places:were carefully ascertained, fifty.one were Urn. in Tennessee, and 'four teen in other Southern States. Only nine of the seventy-eight were born in thelCorthern Stato. Some were Europeans, and others uncertain. Of twenty-four meters of the Senate, which I analyzed in lute manner, sixteen were found to be Tennesseeans by birth, five born in dither Southern States, two in Northern States, and one in Europe. Yet, among all these, there are very tew whose hand is worth more than the paperon which itis written. Their word is as good as their band. They do not at all represent the taxable people. COLTISTY. COIIMMIDISERS- But it was found, notwithstanding this legislative organization upon the basis of negro suffrage, taxation could not be abso lutely controlled in some counties, because of county courts, composed of magistrates elected several years since, and still holding out by virtue of unexpired term.. To remove such obstacles, acts were passed abolighlng the powers of such county courts; and County Commissioners" of irresponsible persons, like those composing the .Legisla• ture, were elected by the negro vote. In this heavy tax paying county, one of the Commissioners is an illiterate negro--u very idscit one.. In addition to the taxes piked upon the people's shoulders by the ',opals tare, these Commissioners may order further levies, for county purposes. TAXATION AND THE NEGROES. Proceeding still further in the thorough work of removing all power from the taxpayers, the cities have been conformed to the same rule la their municipal government. Those who decide how much and in what manner the citizens or property-holding people of Nashville shall be . taxed, are utterly km sponsible=the boOn companions of negroes. They are directly interested in heavy taxa tion, for this reason, that they desire to col lect great swarms-of negroes about the city, to vote for themselves; and Must needs have a great deal of work upon the streets and alleys to let out, as a means of feeding these voters. As the taxpayers are powerless, competition arises among these aegro,frater nixing irresponslbles, and each faction is anxious to bring in, every available negro from abroad. Here is a temptation to the paying out of vast sums for work which, is useless to the city, by the faction in power. While I write you, I am informed, by wit nesses, black and white,- that in one large frame building in the northwestern suburb of Nashville, there arc two hundred negro men who persist in declaring that they have been driven hither for refuge from the Ku I Klux Klan in Giles; Maury, Williamson, and 'Marshall counties. I have taken some trou ble to inquire into the facts, and learn- that they have been partly driven by laziness, and partly enticed by the promise of easy sad lucrative work in this city and of calk* mint in militia service ANOTIIEII ITS.V. I have shown you, as Nearly as I may, la this limited letter, how taxes are assessed upon the people, and by what manner of men, and how much of the money is expend ed. But this does not give the panorama of taxation fully. The law of this - State--still tmrepealed, requires of revenue collectors heavy Bonds. While the county courts ex fisted, this law wasenforced ; but now, under "commissioners, a nominal bond is sufficient, in abet wards, no bond at all. In - this county, for example, an irresponsible stranger is revenue collector and this man get in his possession hundreds of thousands 4:17 dollars. He could not give a real bond ; so the com missioners have taken a fictitious bond, signed by a number of his associate ^en turer& This bond should cover at least map hundred thousand dollars; it does non cover five thousand. - Under such a system, every pretest fret. levying appropriations of money 'by St4lB, 'county or city, is sought. As e. el:l4k of city enterprise, I will 'just mention that a body of swamp land, near the race' tracks, outside the suburbs, ocenpled y butchers and coopers, has just been ha.sed tor forty-six thousand dollars, to converted' into a city park. hest year if the present h authorities remain in pow 14loubt not great aunt s will be expend . a (little at tempt to redeem this lane its wasted condition. There will be *. It b es timated that there is a populatlimitif Wont fourteen thousand whites, and about eight thousand blacks in Nashville. In all these things which are being done in the name of government, the non-taxpaying eight thous and have control. ' The fourteen thousand taxpayers ate Powerless. TBEE CAUSES OF TROCBLL-TIIS "IEV•KIX1:." nave merely glanced at "the situation." Be assured, my representation, in far from being overdrawn, falls short, of the facts. But you inquire about the cause of strife. The white people seem stupilled,paralyzed. One meets the other and says, "What shall we do to avert utter ruin ?" The other looks despondingly, and says, "What can we do? Our hands are tied." Ldo assure you, that ninety-nine, one hundredth parts of alt the talk you hear of Ku-Klux organizations, and the like, are mere fabrication. To be sure lynch law is used sometimes, in very aggra vated cases of rape and murder, but thin is because the Governor has ,rendered legal punishment ineffectual, by pardoning the highest offenders by the wholesale. Ile en larged upon this_city a trio of outlaws who murdered a policeman on duty ; and they had not been out of the penitentiary many weeks, when one of them assisted in binding a citizen to a tree, within five miles of the city, and robbed him in daylight. AOCOUNT OF A MOB Mobs are sometimes encouragedopenly by the Governor. I will give an instance,which occurred soon after he was elected the find time. Two acquaintances—a Mr. Hall, who had served in the Federal army, and a Mr. Baker who bad served in the rebel army-- met near the court house in Knoxville. After some words bad passed, Hall began to chas tise Baker with his cane. A. struggle ensued, in which Baker was overpowered, and' in self-defence he drew a pistol and shot his as sailant, causing death. Baker was lodged in jail. Late that night a mob took him from the jail and hanged him. Governor Brown low was in Knoxville at the time, and a day or two after the tragic occurrence he pub lished a card in his paper which contained the following, with much other inflammatory lanvage "There are those in town who are perfect ly shocked at these outrages, and are asking why the Governor does not interfere. * * * The Governor is not so much horrified as many others. * * * The Governor may have been a little used to scenes of this kind, and not feel as deeply as he ought on this solemn occasion." I could quote you many similar passages from the Governor's writinga,,lnciting the people to acts of lawless violence.. Bat - you know something of this strange man's char acter, and most of your readers know he is not a peace maker. CONCLUSION For fear of growing wearisome to yens readers, I must close, "this letter by saying that the people of Tennessee—the white peo ple are exceedingly quiet, when the circum stances are considered. But lam fearful, if the Legislature turns loose a negro militia upon them, as that body is din:wetting to do —thus adding heavy taxation and greatly in creasing murder and rapine—their patience will fail them, and we shall have strife of some magnitude. They have earnestly pe titioned the Legislature not to loosen an army of negroes upon them, and have at the same time prayed to be enfranchised. In these petitions many white Reptiblicans and not a few negroes of the better classes have joined. Among the Republicans who participated, I mention the name of Judge Shackelford, re cently of the Supreme Court. But the pea • goners have been contemptuously spurned. A bill is now pending in this extra Legisla ture, authorizing the Governor to organize as large a militia force as he may desire, and to proclaim martial law whenever he shall think it necessary. If such authority be given, he wilt most assuredly use it with a high band. To expect that the white pee , pie will quietly submit to murder and pillage ' at the hands of such an organization in time of peace,is scarcely within the bounds of Ten on. W. L. A Good Ilimdtation• Ilon. T. A. Hendricks, of Indiana, the "Democratic candidate for Governor, in a speech of great soundness and force, in show ing the importance of 'harmony and good _rating between the North and South, and the advantages of reciprocal trade between the South and North-western States, gave the following happy illustration: "The sweetest lesson of our religion is to be found in the parable of the Prodigal Son. That son, y ou recollect. became tired of the best home in the world, and wandered off to seek his fortune among strangers. Seceding from the paternal roof, soon poverty and hunger came upon him, and he concluded to return. If that father, who `saw him afar off,' had been a Radical; what world he have r.said ? 'There comes my rebellions son i He . .,s I will let him come back on the same terms az the rest of the boys and gilts. No, nor That father as described to us in the ' parable was not a RadicaL He opened his arms' nd welcomed hint as he saw the err ing boy return, and as he stepped into the house, peace, love and happiness returned. There was a Radical in ' L l_ott ihrouitk• The other boy, as soon as bee. 43v his brother condor. commenced growling, azi4 bid not want the returning prodigal admitted, 4- t",' von, as Christian men and citizens, do yu think we can build our institutions upon the bad passions of hatred, revenge and jealousy —passions that come up front the dark cav erns of hell ?" CARL Sammy. Anngsran.—Says the Al lentown Democrat: ' About the first ac quaintance of times gone by that greeted Mr. Carl Schurz on his visit to this place, last week, was a certain "William," in other and plainer and shorter words, an unsettled bill of $25. $l9 for clothing obtained of Mr. Wm. Nickum, in Bethlehem, whilst a "sum mer boarder" in that place three years ago. He had been repeatedly "dunned' by letter, but never gave the matter any attention. So on coming here he was "faced" by Con stable John Becker, of Bethlehem, for the amount, but the official might as well - lave attempted to extract blood from a beet as to get Schurz to liquidate honest debts. Ile put forth all manner of excuses, said he would refer it to his wife, that she settled all his debts, etc. The constable not being disposed to depend on any of his promises, or put faith in his allegations, made short work of the matter by placing the account in snit before Alderman Beek, who on Monday awarded judgment against Schurz for the amount. Altranzo Itccrotrr.—A few evenings since, at one of the Republican meetings held in this Congressional district, one of the orators said: " Oh, that I had the wings of a dove, I would fly through the land proclaiming Grant's beautiful sentence, Let us have peace.' " An old gentleman sitting. pretty well back, whose feelings bad not kept pace with Ur speaker's high-wrought eloquence, broke out in a stentorian voice—" The thun der you would! They would shoot y'oti for a shitepoke before you flew a mile." It is hardly necessary to add that the speaker Im mediately left the rostrum, as the soldiers say, "on a double quick."

The London Times aptly remarked that the subjects of American taxation were a corn , pkte inventoiv of every - thing upon the earth, every thing above the earth, awl evesy thing beneath the earth. Upon what are we not taxed heavily ? We are taxed upon every thing that pleases the eye, the ear, the smell and the taste—every thing_that is usefuecom fortable or ornamental. We are taxed in our . professions for licenses, andeepon the sales of our business transactions. We cannot draw a promissory note, or a receipt, or a mort gage, or a deed, or any legal instrument, without putting upon it Government alarms, which show that the tax is paid., Even lifter death the inexorable ministers-of law ',is sue us, and our last wills and teststie nts must be duly covered with revenue sump', accordingeo their valneon order to give them say validity. These last stamps or:. at the expense of the poor widows and orphans. who generally take under the whin. We arp oppressively taxed beibre we receive ma hi es:me, and then the income is itself ussed. . These taxes fall in a large. degree upon t he laboring man. The-merchant adds his texes to the price of his goods, and the consumer has to pay them. The landlord inereasea his rent the amount of his taxes. The tailor duly adds them to the cost of his cloths, and ids patrons foot the bill. But upon whom i., the laboring man to shift his taxes? Nobody. Its shoulders are Atlas-like, and considered broad enough to sustain the taxes of the en tire 'country. But what is the aggregate amount of our taxes in legal-tenders in the State of Pennsylvania ? Of the Federal taxes this State pays one-eighth, which amounted Wit year to $70,000,000, the entire National amount being $560,000,000. Our State and local taxes were $20,000,000 more, making in all $90,000,000. Of this last item the Gov ernment bonds, which amount to one-fitlh of all the property, and which by a Itailital favoritism are exempt from taxation, pay nothing, and their share is accordingly thrust upon the laborer tb pay. There are 600,000 voters in Pennsylvania, and tweet an average each of them pay WO a year to the tax game Is not this a frightful sum? sup pose it were demanded at once, how many voters would,be able to pay it? But it is none the less oppressive because It is collect ed in small ems in the course of the year. But $l6O would pay for all the flour and all the groceries which are consumed by ordi nary families in the course of a twelve-month. Voters, would you rather not use the money in this way than pay it to a Government whose appointees steal half of it, at least, and the remaining half of which they, to a great degree, uselessly sqnander. We are now the most oppressively taxed people upon the face of the earth, Great Britain, with her Estab lished Church, her standing army and navy, and her vastdebt, the interest of which she has to pay yearly, manages to get along with $550,000,000 in gold, or $500,000,000 in legal tenders. France, wills an Imperial Court, And with an army of nearly a million or men, only collects in taxes some $450,0000500 an nually in legal-tenders. -But we in the Uni ted States must have, in these days 'of Well ed ascendency, not leas than $800,000,000. a year in Federal, State and local taxes—a sum nearly equal tolhe taxes of France and England, which have, combined, twice our population and five times our wealth. When the Democreer were in- power in the United States, the. tax upon each voter ifid not average more than $49 or $5O a year ; and if they are restored to their ascendency, they will soon pat hack the taxes to about that figure. By paying the debt as it falls due, in greenbacks, and avoid ing the immense interest which is now . poverishing us, we shall soonbe in a position to dispense with stamp taxes, income taxes, taxes upon business sales, and licenses upon professions, taxes upon tea and calm, aud a thousand other articles upon which the . consumer, in consequence of taxes, is now paying double price, without really knowing at. A vote for the Democratic. ticket is, therefore, a vote to be rid of taxation in its most offensive phases. L vote for the Re publican ticket is s vote to continue, cc a, to add to it. Which, voters, do you pre:er! Is your party reeling so strong that }eu are wiMag to be burdened with a tax of u. ore than stfitf a year, unnecessarily, in order to gratify it! T4t is exactly the state of the case. Befere tile Republicans acceded to power such a thing es en income fox, a lex upon sales; licenses fee professions, a tax upon tea or coffee, and stamp taxes were nn known. It would eeem -literally impossible that any reasonable man, acquainted with the facts in the case, would ,vete for the re tention of these taxes by etielog kis _setirege to thepresent Administration. Only the grossest ignore= and the deepest prejudice will-be any excuse for an act so fooling anti suicide/. The vitality of republican gev ernmeats Is, indeed, now on trial, for tf the people can not appreeiate the -Important ie. suee of such an election as is pow pending, it is entirely useless to talk about dew doing so in the future. Ar quinsy, the other day, an office holder who said his sympathies were with the 'Re publican party, put the following question to Gen. Grant: "General, will the mere fact .of a man's having held office under Mr. dohnson have the effect to injure his standing with the next Administration," To this the General replied : "I think not, sir.

And this, too, in time of profound }wade! Zeit worth while to "let us have" any more of that kind of "peace ?" WREN General Rosecran's army was af flicted with scurvy, an appeal was made to the Governors of the Northern States for fresh vegetables. All of them except Gov ernor Seymour responded by referring the subject to the several Christian and Sanitary Commissions. Governor Seymour sent one hundred and My barrels of potatoes and tiny barrels of onions raised on his own farm. The accotutt from which we condense this statement says they were the only ve:eta- Wes received before the army marched. Comment is unnecessary. As noon as the pions folks who hue John Allen, the "wickedest man in New York," in band, succeed in effectually converting hitn from the error of his ways, it is prepo.ed to let them, on contract, the reformation of Ben Butler, which, if successful, is to be followed by that of Parson Brownlow. They expect to get through with Allen in the course of s month. Butler's use, it is estimated, will require six months, and Brownlow's double that time. PEOPZX mast be =end how they speak now•a-days.
