THC GENUINE DR. C. M o X* AN E'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSFBFSIA AHD SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in thc right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in thc left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on thc left side ; sometimes thc pain is felt under the shoulder binde, and it frequently extends to thc top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite' and sickness ; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative 1 with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. Thc patient complains of weariness and debility ; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin ; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet iie can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. DR. C. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, arc productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.

[From the Greenville Duily Nows, March G ] A Talk with Congressman Aiken * -Somo Intorosting Washing ton News. Col. D. Wyatt Aikcu, M. C , arrived in tho city yesterduy cn route homo from Washington, Congress having adjourned on thc 4th iustaut, to meet again in extra session on tho 18th instant. At thc read - ing room of tho Mansion House hist night ho was su;rounded by u number of friends and listeners, who wcro anxious to learn nil about Congressional affairs, what had been going on and what would likely happen al the extra session. Col. Aiken possesses the 'happy faculty of fluent speech, und by his ready conversational powers eau always entertain a orowd as well in private chat us on tho stump. Ho was free to answer ques tions, und gave sonio very interesting ac counts of tho debates in Congress, especially on tho pension bill and thc army and legis lative bills tho samo causing fierce strug gles and which failed to pass with the amendments demanded by the Democrats. Tho army bill as introduced providod that a General of tho Fcdcrul army should have power to command his forces in tho capaci ty of a possA comilutus at all Federal elec tions to suppress insurrections, without au thority from any other source This Col. Aiken claims as unconstitutional, and tho section was stoutly opposed by tho Demo crats, North and South. This power is vested only in tho Governor of tho State, and thc Federal army is at his command only when insurrections oceur. Tho Dem ocrats demand tho repeal ot thc juror's test oath, knowu as tho Ironclad oath, which deprives many citi?ons of serving as jurors in tho United ?States Circuit Court. Tho ropcal of certain sections of tho election luw, was also demanded by the Democrats. The law, ns it now stands provides that n Deputy U. S. Marshal shall bo present ot thc polls in cities or towns of over 20,000 inhabitants Tho Radicals making thc word "town'' inenn township, have illcgully sont their deputies into townships, and it is well remembered that a great number ol our citizens havo been arrested and dragged to jail illegally and on tho information ol some paid instrument who claims that he hos been intimidated. Tho disoussion of this question, Col. Aiken describes ns being very bitter and exoiting. Tho army appropriation bill, with tho amendments attached, passed tho House, but tho amendments wcro stricken out by tho Senate and on this tho matter hinged. Both parties seemed bound to "stick" to tho bitter end, and tho consequence is an extra session of Congress, to oonveno on tho 18th instant, at which time a lively time is expected. Unless tho bills are passed, tho ontiro government, with all ils attach?es from tho high salaried officer to tho hum blest clerk or employee, will soon bo without his pay, and there will bo no money to support tho ormy. Tho two bills appro priate something near $60,000,000 to ruo tho Government for tho noxt fiscal yoar, beginning in Juno At tho reorganization noxt Tuesday week all tho nowly elootcd members, thoso elec ted in Novombor last, tako their scats. Tho election of Speaker will tako placo, and an exoiting timo is anticipated. Speaker Ran dull will probably bo roclcotod, though Rlaokburn, of Kentucky, is n strong and popular oandidnto, and would mako a good run. Tho Scnnto will contain n Democratic majority of aoven whilo in tho House there oro, of tho 202 members, 148 Democrats, 21 Greonbaokcrs, nnd 123 Republioans. Throe Greonbaokcrs oar. bo counted on to voto with tho Domoorata, nine aro allied to neither party, ond tho Republicana olaitn I tho rost. Two vacancies oceur, however, in tho Democratic ranks, ooonsionod by the death of Sloiohcr, of Tozas, and tho succes sor of Mr. Crittenden, of Mo., having boen stricken with paralysis and not being ex pected to recover. It io confidently asserted, however, that a fully sufficient numbor of Groonbnokors will act with tho Democrats to insure tho election of Speaker and danger is not feared. Col, Aikon is in his usual fino health sod spirits. Tho Old Congress and tho Now. Tho Forty-fifth Congress adjourned at noon yesterday, without passing tho ICR?S lotivo and ttio army appropriation bills. 13otwcen tho two Houses tho fundamental differences were, that thu Houso retuned to concur io tho Senate amendmont to tho army bill authorizing thc use of troops at tho polls, and that tho Sonata refused to concur in tho HousC amendments to tho legislative bi'l, repoaling tho test oath for jurors and repealing tho sections of tho revised, stat utes authorizing tho appointment of Super visors of Election. An extra session of tho Forty sixth Congress will begin on Mn rob 18, tho Democrats having a majority of 8 in tho Senate and 9 in tho House Tho olas8itiontion of thc two houses is aa folio wa: Sonate-Dcmoorate, 42; Republicans, 33; Independent, 1. House-Democrats, 140; I Independent Democrats, 2; Republicans, 127; Grccnbnok Democrats, 7, Greenback Republicans, 5. In estimating tho majori ties, wo have given tho Independent in tho Senate to the Republicans, and counted all tho Grccnbookcrs in thc House ns Rcpub Moans, lt is moro than probable that on non financial questions tho actual Perno - caatio majority iu tho Houso will bo from 20 to 23. Tho cxtrn session is made necessary by thc failure of the Army and Legislative appropriation bills, und their failure wus cuused by thc Democrats insisting on tho nm ndmonts relating to tho test oath and the supervisors of election, and refusing to sanction tho uso of troops at thc polls, os boforo Staled. Tho Democrats stood on bi^b ground, demanding tho rcpoul of legis lation of doubt.ul constitutionality, and ? crtuinly dangerous in its character. Thc United State huve no right to interfere with elections. Thc citizenship of thc States, which confers tho right to vote, is derived from thc States alune, and it rests with tho States to regulate and manage voting. During the yours of Republican rule moro und moro authority was assumed by tho General Government, until thc Republio beheld thc speotaolc of troops surrounding thc polls mid occupying State Capitols, supporting, with tho bayonet, tho civil officers and candidates of thc dominant party, while in other States tho Federal Supervisors arrested citizens, by tho thou sand, on trifling charges, to prevent them from voting thu Democratic ticket It WUS tho duty of tho Democratic party to rcquiro nt the earliest moment, tho repeal of the legislation which allowed such nets to bc done. Tho liberties of tho country dc mantled it. Gallantly tho Demociuts stood tog-thor. Their courage and their perse verance cannot be praised too highly, The opposition toan extra session, out i side of the Democratic party, was very general, but wo aro confident that not hi np but good will come of it, if thc Democrat* I hold together, und confine themselves, ut tho extra session, ns far us practicable to th?

Thc country is not quito sun whether tho Democratic party is u lamb o n tiger, und if success in 1880 is wortl having, to crown the work of decentraliza tion, thc Democrats must keep thcmselvc down, und show, by their prudence nm moderation, that they realizo the rcsponsi bi lt ty now ros tint; upon them [News and Courier, bth. The Negro in tho South. I will indulge in neither invectivo no denunciation. 1 will simply take tho lat government of South Curolina or Louisiana or of other States under similar rulo, uni desoribe it in laueuagc that Mr. Blaine mn himself Bclect.

AB tho South baa chafed ineffec tually when that voto wns all against her white people, so will he chafo iocflcotually when it ia now largely for them. * * When Mr Blaine admits that disfranchise ment is impossible and that tho ballot has been, in ppito ol' nil drawbacks, a benefit to tho negro, ho really proves that there is no orgatlio question affecting groat national interests, bul simply the subordinate ques tion. How rapidly is tho ballot dining tho negro fur full enjoyment of his citizenship, and what influence docs his voto exercise Upou the supremacy of otto party or thc other in national politics? This latter may bc an interesting question, but not ono which should disturb cither a sound nation al sentiment or groat national interests. 1 do not propeso to discuss it. 1 am of opinion that lo mako tho negro a freo citi zen it was first necessary to take him from his master. Then it became necessary to take him from thc party which claimed his voto as absolutely as his master liad claimed his labor. Tho next step will bo to take him ns n class from either party, and allow him to difl'or o nd divido just ns while men do.-Senator Lamar in the North American Review. Adjournment of Congress. Congress, it seems, adjourned, notwith standing tho fierce antagonisms of tho two great parties in fair good humor, nud, to ila credit, without thc hilarity in its last hours which has hitherto characterized SUDI) occasions. The Senate, true to its political reckon ings, kicked np no inconsiderable muss, lt will manage these things better horoafter. Tho failure of tho army nud legislative bills will of oourso involve an extra session. There was no help for it. The irr?pres sible conflict between thc Republicans and Democrats on thc measures involving tho flooding of tho Southern ballot-boxen with supervisors utterly worthless for anything hut sectional irritation, and tho manifest Republican polioy of keeping up sectional ill feeling by excluding from tho F?deral court juries those who would ho admitted to seats in Congress, constituted a dispute in which neither side w ?s willing to surren der. So there must bo an extra uession, which, UM our dispatches i u for Ul us, will bo called oo tho 18th.
