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.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

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*

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. When ho hus told its histor
I will ask him whether he would willingly
as a patriotic American desiro to seo hi:
own State, or any other of tho free States
reduced to snob a lovel? I am not afrai
of his answer, or that of any man who lin
boon brod under thc traditions of a vin mm
civilization. Then I will say to him: Thii
i it is true, is a painful result; but when yo
put tho ballot in tho bunds of ignoran
negro majority as a me ms of eduction an
progress you must bo patient whilo the
learn their lesson Wc of tho South hav
borne nil this hconuso wo know that th
roaotion must como. It has ooma. Th
result which you seo to bo so bad tho negt
has beon also. He has como back to u
with tho samo blind imput?e with which
few years ago ho fled from us He muy h
ns ignorant a Dem neva t UR ho was no ignorar
Republican, but years must yet pass befor
tho ballot will havo educated him fully tint
self reliant, temperate citizenship, and win
wo of thc South havo horno our friends <
tho North must boar with us until tit
negro lina beoomo what we both want I
make him. Thin is part of his cducatioi
* * * Rut all this whilo tho bulli
has boon eduoating tho negro. Ho lu
learned that ho was a power between tl
Republican and Democrat. Ho is no
loaming rapidly that at tho South he is
power between Domoorat and Domocra
and in tho Into election ho made that powt
felt in tho result. 1 would havo prctorrc
a much loss costly tuition, but, snob as
is, it has boon paid for, and if Mr. Rlair
will pationtly trust his own theory ho wi
find tho ballot in tho hands of tho nogro tl
host defeneo aod tho host educator. Rut i
tho South linn been patient so must ho. bo
patient. 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. Tho issues involved
may ns well be met nt 0000, nod frankly mot,
and tho Dcmoorats can loso nothing in the
end by toeing tho mark like men.

j Tho President has yery properly vetoed
tho anti-(Chinese bill, and his action thereon
I has called forth tho most intenso fooling ia
California. A few days ago Mr. Hayes wus
burnt in effigy, and tho most indignant
speeches were made to tho infuriated mob
which toro down several Chinoso scttlo
meuts. It is claimed in politioal cirolco
that this notion of thc President will loso
tho Stato of California, with perhaps Ore
gon sud Ncvuda, to tho Republicans. Cal
ifornia is to doy a disaffected Stato, and
had tho South not settled the secession issue,
it is probablo that California would break
off from tho Union on this question.
Whom is tho man who wanfs to emigrate
to Texas? Lot!) Galveston and Dallas aro
petitioning to havo their charters repealed, on
us they aro not oblo to even meet tho interest
their bonded debt. Hundreds of disap
pointed omigrats aro returning to their old
homes iu South Carolina and other States,
and thousands would like to do so if they
only had tho means. Living is high in
Texas, thc State a hot-bod of miasma, and
tho farmer is often too sick in tho full with
some contagious disease to gathor tho crop
ho has made. Why, even on tho rod hills
of Chester an industrious man oan grow all
that he oan gathor, and what moro oan you

A writer says with more force than
elegance: God intended all women to bo
beautiful ns much os he did tho roses and
morning glories; and what ho intended they
would, if they should obey his laws and
out indolence and corset strings, and in
dulgo in freedom and fresh air. Por a girl
to expect to bo handsome with tho notion
of her lungs dependent on tho expansive
nature of n cent's worth of topo, is as ab
surd as to look for turnips in n snow bank,
or a full grown oak in a little flower pot.

of it. Haids on tho treasury in behalf of
"tho soldier" ore, it seem? to us, just as bad
ao similar raids for railroad nod .steamship
purposes. Thoro is noithor "rebellion" nor
"loyalty" id cithor.
