i seen t hat any arrangement lor proving,

j Legislature. The truth is the Legislature
has all the time done its level
j best to keep Irom doing anything
| about the receiving ol these lulls for
, taxes.
These bills are a legal tender lor
i taxes, so declared by the United States
I Court, and we are glad to see them
pressed in payment til taxes, and hope
I those w ho have tendered them will
I stick tip to it and get the bills out ol

mined to do nothing lor their lupiida*

speculation. Had proper Legislation
j been made Irom the first for receiving
a per cent, of the taxes in these bills it
would have left no chance for a million
stealage.
This thing of determining the gen.
uiness of the hills, and the old plates

come when the people, utterly unable

against Hits tax gatherers and expel

that would be! To take, up arms

of a dead man's requiring thy verdict

Judge Wliipper and his Bar.
Eighty one of the members of the
Charleston Ear have addressed a
letter to Judge Reed in which the)
say they regard the decision of Gov.
Chamberlain, that Judge Reed's leirn
of office had not expired, and that the
election of Whippet* was invalid, "at
the decision of a co-ordinate biancli
of the government, which we intend
to uphold," and they urge him to con
tinue in the functions of his office."
They further say "We are fully

Washington, 1>. 0., May 1st 1870.
The Republicans in the Senate refuse
to agree to any of the retrench- |
incuts proposed f>) the Democrats in'
the House. Kadi one of the minors j
appropriation hiils sent to them lias
been amended up to the estimate made j
by the departments. The excuse is i
that "the House is crippling the public
service." This is mere cant and intended
for campaign purpose. The
Republican orators will say: "look!
the Kx.tConfederates controlled the
House; they refused to appropriate
sufficient money to run the (iovern- j
meni Recauso they hate it." Willi i
th?se and the indiscreet utterances of i
a few men, they will reconstruct the j
rebellion, and clothing it with Morton's 1
bloody shirt, will endeavor to arouse
sectional prejudice to such a heat that |
they, with all their proven thievery
and corruption will once more be put
in power. This is their only hope. |
Xo party could withstand the disclosn- j
res made by the House committees |
which shows ove.iy department of the
(lovermneni to be as corrupt, as was !
that which finally resulted iu the
French revolution, which show that i
the departments only differ iu the do.
groo of corruption, as rotten carcasses
only diller in their smell according to t
the degree of their rottenness. The Re- !
publicans see this, and it appeals to 1
them as the handwriting on the wali !

about their own loyalty and by their

I cape the well merited doom which
I consigns them to privacy, and restores
tin? (lo vet nmetit to the hands ol nun
who believe in the doctrine and will

j unfaithful seivants to strict account
I for their malversations; no one who
reads lire signs ol ?ho times with
judgement can fail to see that the
; people demand, and will have a radij
cal reform, Common sense shows that
this can only be obliged thr -ugh Democratic
snejess and a oomph te overturning
of the party which has been
so long in power that it has become
corrupt from centre to circumference.
I As the people have common sense the
lcsnlt will bo that if the Democratic
i party is true to its sell and its princij
pies and does not wander off after
strange (lod-as in 1 872, but selects
' from amongst the bright galaxy ot its
leaders, some man who is recognized
as. a Democrat. Irom princmal and by
: practice, that man will l>o the next
President of tin! United States. That
*
j is the only danger threatening the
! Democrat to party to day. Some of
I the 8 ?tne resiles spirits, who devised
| the lolly which resulted in such an
! inglorious deleat in IS7'2, are still in
' the field, engaged in a similar work.
They have caller! a meeting to be held
j in New York on the 15th of May>
I I mm which another Grecian horse
may be ilit reduced into now impregnable
Democratic Troy, with the same
result as followed, when the stratagem
' O
of the wily Ulysses was adopted on
, the Asian coast. Democrats should
remember that these men are all liepublicans
and are presumably working
! for the advancement of that party;
ami Democrats should let them severe*
ly alone.

TIIU N1?\V VOUK DKMUCKA 110 CONVENTION.
The action of the New York Bemocrutic
(convention at lliica, in choos
111a ueiegauon 10 cw. lanus zealously 1
determined that, so Car as they can :
elleot it, Samuel .1. Tilden shall he the I
Democratic candidate for President,
has caused a i*ood ileal ?>l excitement i
here unume the polit ieiuns. The
friends of Tweed and tlies New York !
Canal Piny had been so loudly asscr- 1
tin;* here, since the eomuieneement of
the session, that Tilden is weak in
New Yoik, and that a delegation stn
friendly to him would he sent ti St.
Louis, that many person*, not familiar
with the politics ol the Ivnpirc Slate, i
Ljot at last to h 'licve the*e re iterated
falsehoods. ILit the result at 1'tica j
has opened the eyes ot iinhehovers to
the true state ot the ease, and the
j corrupt ionists are down in the momh. !
In short, the a-peel, of the Presidential I
canvass, as tar as Democratic eandi
J dates are concerned, is cntirelv
i cliaayod, and Tihlen now stands at
| lliw head ot the brief lUt iroai tvhieh

lint out' of tin* most cheering re- !
| suits of lho prospective nomination of |
| Samuel J. Tilden is the excellent el
feet it has already produced on the ;
I
lLpuMicans. Tilden is the only !
j Dein writ they have all along feared; i
! and they now acknowledge that the
, liopuldican party can hope to succeed
j n?'Xl November against Tilden, only j
hy placing on ils ticket a man of equalI
ly deserved and aeKnowledged reputa- j
j lion as a refornvr, an economist, and
i an honest idminist rator of the people's j
, business. It is to he hoped that the

poriant New Orleans eases from the

I ... , ,

<
I success. Mrs. tiaiues is a remarkahle
| woman, considering the troubles
through which she has passed. Involved,
1 ?>r the last thirty years, in
I never less than a half a dozen law
I suits at a time, tor property which
i she believes to be rightfully hers, she
j looks almost as young to-day as she
(lid twenty years ago. Everybody
! who has heard ol her (and who has
not ? doubtless imagines her a feeble
old woman; and no one who has never
seen her would ever suspect that the
I jaunt y-looking little lady with sharp
I black ey,%s, dressed in black silk, and

a "silver thread among the gold,"
. moving briskly along Pennsylvania
avenue, is the writ tble plaintiff in the
Gaines suits. Although she is now
neai ly soventy, the old lady protests
that she does not wear a wig, and
f | that her golden eurls not only never
, J adorned the poll of any other female,
but that she uses no dye of any kind.
While there are some doubts on this
point, no one ever had the hardihood
I to whisper them in her presence.
L Said one ol her lawyer* to the writer,
the other day, "she's as good a chan|

any desire to interpose an objection,
Senator Thurman rose ami said, "I
trust my friend from Maine will withdraw
his motion; for 1 cannot consent
to exercise any privilege on this lloor
which is not enjoyed by every Senator."
"Then 1 move," said Senator

Now that the Senate baa finally
agreed to pennit Mrs, Minnie Slierman
Fitch to receive the diamond*
presented by the Khedive, as a compliment
to her illustrious father, it is
to be hoped the House will hayo the
good sense to speedily concur, and to
allow their removal Irom the vaults ol
t lie custom house in New York, where
they have been deposited lor almost
a year. The duty on the diamond is
estimated at $-!"?,000, and the value ol
the gems, at more than double fl at
amount. The year will soon expire,
and, without Congressional action ol
a favorable eharaetcr, they will probably
bf sold at auction. The Khedive
was perhaps una we re of the
stringency of our laws in this respect;
and, in i his particular instance, there
is reason to believe that undue vigi1
nice and severity have been exercised.
It is io bo hoped, tinri'loro, that tin*
1 :i? 1 y may soon have possesion o( the
valuable gilt, ami that it will be a
'nilllciont compensation to her lor all
the care ami anxiety it has caused
her. It is to be feared that the costly
gilt will prove to be a white elephant

there are vety lew ladies in America
who would not willingly accept the

last discreditable act was to release,
on bail, Win. II. Ottman, whom a
Washington jury had just failed to
rind guilty ol participation in the robbery
ot $17,000 Irom the treasury ol
the United States. Xo doubt whatever
exists in the mitids of right-thicknig
people litre that Ottman had a

possession of the money which was
: given him by Ilalleck, the principal in
the robbery, and sent a notorious
blackleg, named I'eg leg Brown, to
the Saratoga races, to quietly exj
change the stolen money, most of
which was in *">00 bills, for notes of

it became evident that, unless witnesses
were properly protected, investigation
would be checked, and, in
fact, he made dependent upon voluntary
testimony. A bill was therefore
passed by the House to extend immunity
for the purpose ol obtaining evidence
of frauds on the (ioverninent,
and exposing the corrupt complicity '
of officials. The Senate has ?;ifled
that hill and thus given its protection fg
to Kings and robbers.
Under the power of the House to
call for persons and papers, no queslion
has been heretofore raised about
producing originals lro:n the departmental
files in aid of investigation.
In many cases they are indispensable
for that object, since copies would
furnish no clue to a variety of frauds
that have been perpetrated. Recent
experience has shown that many of
the large claims passed through the
Treasury ami the Pension Oltice were
supported hy forged papers. The
President has now issued an order
forbidding originals to bo delivered to *
the House. This is his method of obstructing
inquiry and shielding forge's
and conspirators from detection and
punishment.
The House of Representative*
ordered flaliett Kilhomu, one of tho
most notorious ??t the Ring jobbers at
Washington, into custody tor refusing
to answer questions which would expose
the real estate pool in and out of

Thus tin? Sen at e, the Ad ministration,
and the King courts conspire tooether
to conceal the villainies of (irantisin,
and to provenl the House ot UcpreRentatives

which are hidden in the books and

remains to be seen how lar the House
will submit to these Assaults. The
contest is between the people seeking
honest government and an account ol

W'nii 11 Sham. 1 Task ? This is often
a serious question with the invalid. He
linds his market flooded with proprietary
medicines, scores of which arc recommended
as certain cures for his peculiar ailment, tie
reads the papers, circulars, and almanacs,
and linds each sustained by plausible arguments
setting forth its virtues and specific
action. The recommendations are as .strong
for one as for another. The cures claimed lo
have been vvi ougli by one are as wonderful
as those claimed to have been wrought t?y
another. In his perplexity and doubt, tho
sufferer is sometimes led lo reject all. but it
should I e borne in mind that, this condition
oflhings is one that cannot tie remedied,
in aland where all are lice, the good the
truly valuable must come into competition

brought to public notice by the sainc instrumentality,
with is advertising. In such a
ease, perhaps the only absolute prooflh.it a
remedy is what it claims to be, is to try it.
The "lest of a pudding is tho eating of it."
''Trove all things, hold last that which is
good," is the apostolic injunction. '1 hero
may, however, be stronger piesumptive evidence
in favor of one remedy than time is
in favor of another, and this should be allowed
its due weight. A duo regard to this
may save a vast amount of experimenting
and a useless outlay of money. As presumptive
evidence in favor of'Dr. Tierce's Family
Medicines, the I'roprietor desires to say, that
they are prepared by a new and scientific
process by which the virtues of the crude
plants and roots are extracted without the
Use of a particle of alcohol. Not a pit tide of
this destroyer ol our lace enters into the composition
ol either his Golden Medical Discovery
or Favorite Tresci iption. This consideration
alone ought certainly to rank them high
above the vile compounds saturated with
alcohol. Jamaica rum, sour beer, or vinegar,
which are everywhere ollered lor sale. Again,
they are of uniform strength, and their virtues
can never be impaired by age. They
are al so made from fresh herbs and roots,
gathered in their appropriate season, when
they are Hush with medicinal propeities. In
support of these claims, the following testimony
is oIT* red:

Dear 81 it,?I have sold a great deal of
your excellent remedies, and 1 prefer to sell
them before others, because they give good
satisfaction to those who use them. I hear
such remarks as "Sage's Remedy completely
cured me; it is a splendid thing;" or, "Tierce's
Discovery is just what I wanted; I fe?l hulls?
than 1 ever did." One of our celebrated
singers uses it for strengthening her voice,
and says "there is nothing equals it;" and so
I might give scores ol remarks said about
your preparations. A colored woman was
using your Discovery, and alter taking three
bottles was completely cured. She, being in
the store, said to me, "I don't want no dectors
'round ine .so long as 1 can gel the Discovery;
it beats all your doctors.' And so 1
might go on.
I am, most respectfully, yours,
