E. B. M?7JRJBAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING* MARCH 20,1879. The INTELLIGENCE B ha? repeatedly invited the Newt and Courier to make gocd ita assertion that ?or article of five weeks ago contained what was untrue about our Charleston contemporary. Tho Neta and Courier has failed to'do thh or to attempt it, and therefore the public*'can judge 'Jos themselves' as ?to whether the Newt and Courier is not the offending party against'.truth. Its failure to attempt a vindication of its charge showa that ita remarks about t'jo INTEL LIGENCER were a wilful^and deliberate splenetic slander. There has already been eo'much unnecessaf harshness in the discussion, which has about wound up, that wo forbear any further strictures on our metropolitan contemporary, al though its conduct in this instance richly merits severer comment. One of tho greatest pedestrian contests ever undertaken bri just been concluded in Gilmore's Garden, New York. Row ell, an Englishman, and O'leary, Ennis and Harriraan, Americana, wero thc con testants. The contest was to begin at 12 a. m. on Monday morning ?ind ond at ll p. m. on last Saturday night, tho per son walking the greatest number of miles in that time to receive tho champion's belt, besides a large sum of money, as were also all who walked more than 450 miles. Rowell won, walking GOO miles ; Ennis was second, walking 473 ; Hard man third, walking 450, and O'Leary, who had hitherto been the champion of th* world, loft the track several days be fore the end of tho contest, making less than 250 milc3. No one of tho first three were off of the track for more than forty hours during the wholo six days. Tho extra session o** Congress which assembled on last Tuesday ia ono of tho most important that has ever met since the formation of tho government, and upon its course, in a largo measure, de pends tito future of our government. The issues it baa before it aro vitni to tho very existence of our form of govern ment, and tho contest which is predicted between tho legislative and executive de partments over these issues will bo watched as the solution of tho problem of future free government in America. If the infamous election laws, which wore framed in the heat of passion which fol lowed "ie late war, and which to an un expected extent bas placed tho control of tho boasted free ballot into tho hands of the executive, cannot be repealed before another national election in held, then it may with certainty be predicted that the frauds which made Mr. Hayes President in 1376, when Mr. Tilden TOS olectod, will be repeated in 1880, und, gathering strength from success, they will em bolden the exe-"utivo until a formidable attempt upon the Republie will bo made. The only hopo for tho prosperity and peaca of tho country lies in the success of tho Der.-: 3cratic undertaking to abolish these partisan and oppressive laws. Mr. Samuel Lord, jr., of Charleston, in a card to the Newt and Courier, claims that Kimpton'e testimony on the bond question was fully admitted before the Bond Court in writing, and says that if the INTELLIGENCER and its allies intend disregarding tho decision of the Supreme Court, they must look up some other ground upon which to do BO. Mr. Lord has got things a little mixed wo presume, as the INTELLIGENCER has never given expression to anything which warranta tho assertion that it intends to disregard the decision of the Supreme Court, but it has always admitted that such decision would bo binding unless reversed by higher authority. So far as tho state ment that Kimptou's testimony was ad mitted before tho Bond Court 1B con cerned it ia no doubt a fact, hat his oral testimony is not what wo needed so much aa ?he documentary evidonce to be col lected from his books. That is the point where tho State lost by not having him present, and that is ono o' tho grounds upon which we think the question should havo been taken out of tho hands of the Court. If we had Kimpton's books in evidenco they would uhow and explain the wholo of tho bond transactions, and tho bondholders have obtained an im mense advantage in his absence from th? witness stand. Mr. Lord is one of the attorneys for the disputed bonds, and bnr.?ft hf? opinion as to the State's case is to be taken with much allowance, as he looks at the matter with that bios which ' counsel always have for their own side of a litigated question. Tho following is a list of the changes in the United States Senate which assem bled on lost Thursday under tba call for an entra session : James T. Farley, Democrat, succeeds Sargent, Republican, of California; O. H. Platt, Republican, succeeds Barnum, Democrat, of Connecticut; W.

An adjourned caucus of Democratic Senators was held in the Senate Chamber this afternoon for tho purpose of receiv ing the report of the committee of niue appointed by the caucus of Saturday to preparo the Democratic membership of tho standing commiUees.

THB HOMESTEAD.-Judgo Aldrich rendered a very important decision last week on the question of homestead exem tion, says the Newberry Herald. With Mit ort vi rt er fh* n n TY? O. r\f r>avtl.v?^ aro as follows: Judgment was obtained before a trial justice against defendant, and Yo claimed the benefits of the homestead law. He owned no land. Appraisers were appointed to set him apart a homestead in his personal prop erty. Tho appraisers made their return setting apart to defendant personal prop erty specified in tho Constitution as ex empt to the amount of $260, but refused to set apart corn, bacon, flour and fodder, these articles, in tho Judgment of the commissioners, not being exempt accor ding to law. Tho defendant moved tho trial justice for an order v.." assignment, on the ground that corn, fodder, bacon aud flour should have been set apart to him as exempt. The trial justice decided against him, holding that these articles were not exempt, except when the pro ducts of a homestead ; that these articles wiiro not the yearly products of defen dant's homestead, becauso he owned no real estate, and that they were not ex empt as personal property, because they were not enumerated as exempt under the Constitution. Tho defendant sp Sealed to tho Circuit Court. Judge Al - rich sustained the appeal, holding that the personal property a debtor of every description is exempt to the amount of $500. W? Wn ?b?t the judgment cred itor proposes to appeal to tua Supreme Court, That Court already has one or more cases of aa essxtly similar charac ter beforo it. I?a decision [A awaited with interest. SENATOR HAYA RD'S VIEWS. Tho Tent Oath und Federal Election Uiut Mast l>e Itepealed-Injuatlco of the Ono and Tyrannical Character of the Other. /Vom the Neut Y>irk Herald. Senator Thomas P. Havan!, of Dela warc, ia passing a portion of the interval between the closo of the Forty-fifth Con gress and the time fixed for the extra ses sion of the Forty-sixtlt in this city. As this distinguished gentleman is regarded as the head of the more eonserrative por tion of the Democratic part?, his views upon the proposed legislation which re sulted in the failure ol important appro priation bills will be rea 1 with interest throughout tho country. A Herald re porter called noon the Senator yesterday, when the following conversation, in which such views are embodied, took place : Reporter-Will there be any general legislation at tho extra seviion of Con gress ? .Senator Bayard-I am disposed to think the session will bo short, and con sequently there will be no lime lo con sider any but essential measures. Reporter-To what measures do you refer as essential ? .Senator 'iayard-Tho two appropria tion bills which failed ami the passage of the lawn demanded by the House of Representatives at thu last session. Reporter-What are the latter? Senator Bayard-A repeal of the war j test oath of I8G2, which now excludes nearly thc entire while population of the Southern States from thc jury box ; the enactment of a law providing for impar tial juries, tin- right lo which is so plain ly guaranteed to every ponton by the fifth aim ntl merit of he constitution ; an amendment of the present law which permits the presence of armed forces at elections to keep li"': peace, and thc re peal of those sections of the He vised Statutes which provide for the appoint ment of federal officials ns supervisors of elections in thc several State?, and of countless deputy marshals with unlimited power of airest, with or without process, even while the election is proceeding, ami their own immunity from arrest by State authority, no matter hon arbitrary or outrageous their misconduct. METHOD OE DRAWING! JURORS. Reporter-You speak of impartial juries. Aro not the modes of drawing jurors in thc United States Courts which are held in the Southern States thc same as are employed to obtain jurors for Hcr V?C0 in the State Courts? Senator Bayard-Not at all. The selection in those States of jurors is prac tically left in thc discretion of the United Staten Marshals, who generally act under the suggestion or control of the United Stairs District Attorneys and sometimes of the Federal Judges. It is true that the Revised Statutes of thc United States contain a loosely worded section which was intended to assimilate the mode of drawing federal jurors to that followed under thc laws of the State in which the Federal Court is held, but in Georgia, for instance, where they have an excel lent State jury system, established by tho State Constitution of IStiS (Republican,) that system has been wholly disregarded by Judge Wood- and .Mr. Justice Brad ley, and the arbitrary ??lection of jurors by tho clerk of the Federal Court or the Marshal has been sustained against pro I test. In Maryland and Delaware the F?d?rai Marshal summons such persons as jurors as he pleases, and there is no legal remedy. As n consequence the grand and petit juries are composed sometimes wholly and generally almost entirely of men of one political party. You can reatlily see thc consequences when tho offence charged against a per son on trial is political in its nature, '.inpartial verdicts arc in this way ren dered well nigh impossible, and tho feel ing of injustice caused thereby is deeply seated pud is growing in intensity. Reporter-When wero the laws passed creating these supervisors and deputy marshals ? Senator Bayard-Tn 1870-71, and amended in 1-S72, about a year or two alter I went into tho Senntc. The ne cessity for thc repeal of these laws is manifest. When they were first pro ? possd I saw the danger to the peaco of the country which they contained, and from my place in tho Senate declared them to be fraught with peril. I de clared that they wer" grossly unconstitu tional, and so utterly invasive of tho essential rights of each State that their execution would be inconsistent with the penco of the Union. THE ELECTION OF SENATORS. Reporter-Under tho laws which you propose to repeal can these supervisors and deputy marshals interfere with thu election ot Senators of the United States? Senator Bayard-Practically they can and do most dangerously in this way: Thc same clause of tho constitution that gives to Congress a revising power over State regulations ns to time, place and manner of holding elections is precisely tho Hame in relation to the election of Senators as it is to Representatives in Congress, excepting that the "place" of the election of Senators canuot be con trolled by Congress. But as Congress may (ix the "place and time," as well as the "manner" of holding elections for Representatives Congress may appoint tho very "time nnd place" which tho State has indicated for tho election of her Legislature, and in that way compel the presence of marshals and supervisors at the place and time of electing members of the Legislature. I do not see how tho State can escape. lt is also plain that if Congress has powur to placo supervi sors and marshals at the polls ?hero Rep resentatives in Congress are elected, Con gress has equal power, for it is conveyed in the same sentence of the constitu? ion, to put a deputy marshal at the elbow of each member of a State legislature du ring the election of a United States Sen ator and supervise tba records of the Legislature The exercise of auch n power is just as fatal and not moro fatal to tho rights of tho State in on* c so as in the oilier, and its claim by ingress in just as allowable iu ono caso as in the other. Tho whole design of local self-government ia overthrown if ouch powers in Congress aro admitted to exist and are exercised. I raw this plainly in 1871, and only see it more plainly now. It is just as important for the United States to secure honest elections of State legislator as of members of Congress, for lue State legislators choose United States Senators. THE FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS. Roportor-Does the repeal of these sections relating to supervisors and dep uty marshals, os proposed by tho late House of Represenuattves, interfere with punishment of frauds committed at elec tions? Senator Bayard-No. The proposed repeal would td inply remove federal su ?iervisors and United States Marshals rom control of the conduct of elections in the States, but would not exoncrnto any dishonest voter or official from tho consequence of his offence, as now defined by law. Reporter-Do you think that the President will refnso his approval of these reforms? Senator Bayard-.-! cannot believe that ho would feel warranted in auch action. There can be no conceivable constitution al scruple alleged for refusing his assent thereto, and there h abundant and plain constitutional reaso.i v hy he should join in giving effect to pleasures which both hou?ca of Congre*?, truly and confessedly representing tho majority of tho Ameri can people, have deliberately presented to bim as essential to the peace and wel fare of the whole country. There would certainly bo a very heavy responsibility upon him and his conscience, involving consequences which I do not care to con template sbould he set his individual opinion and party Inclinations against tho earnest convictions. and deliberate ex pressions of a House of Hepn .entatives fresh from the people, and a Senate charged with upholding the rights of tho several States. Reporter-As far as you know ar? tho opinions which you have expressed ejja* tertaincd by the democratic Senators and Representatives who will meet at the ex tra session '! Senator Bayard-I believe they are to a man firmly united in respect to tho righteousness and necessity of the meas ures to which I have referred. HOL'TII CAROLINA NEWS.

Re cently a bill was filed in Columbia to foreclose tho mortgage and have the road sold. Tho bondholders are endeavoring to protect their interest by ?rganizing and deciding on Borne pinn of action.

There seems to bo some misapprehen sion arising in our city touching tho ac ceptance by the commission of tue propo sition submitted by Mr. Thompson. Tho facta of tho caie do not v arran t tho very natural nnxicty felt in the premises, and for which we attach no blame whatsoever to the public, for a burnt child dreads the fire, and tho years hitherto frittered away in tho vain Spragtio contract ia calculated to make our people somewhat incredulous as to these contracts. The present 'acts aro these-that the contract et tu."'.' into by the commission ers cannot be fully carried out until the Legislature shall grunt a charter to the parties proposing the completion of the water power and thc erection of manu facturing improvements, the same to bc performed in two years. Now, tim pres ent work under the present appropriation in no way interferes with this Thompson arrangement, but will go on just as if no such arrangement had been entered into by the commissioners. If tho proposition entertained by thc commissioners should be consummated by the Legislature in tho making of cer taiu grants, under such guarantees as tho case would demand, then tho work which will now bo carried on will serve to facil itate Operation? under the Thompson contract. Rut if tho Legislature should refuse to make tho graut, thon the work would go on under Engineer Holley's plan towards the completion of thc im provement. This is all of it if we should write a week, and it seems to us tho com missioners, whilst wisoly taking advan tage of what is esteemed, on tho whole, an advantageous proposition, havo dona so, so as not to defeat present operations ono iota. Tho conclusion is that the canal is an absolute necessity to our city and a great desideratum to tho State at large, and it is becoming ?ore and moro popular with tho people of the State every day on its merits are discussed and its groat value moro understood by the peoplo at large, It is plain, with tho best water powor in tho South, as Mr. Thompson pro nounced ours tn he. ?nd IIA dwj a? tn nm in person, tolling us that ho had been ten weeks' in the South looking up this mat ter, and deliberately pronounced this to be the caite as a practical and experi enced mill engineer-it is plain that a great manufacturing city is Columbia's future destiny, and that ns such she must become a most important market for all kinds of up-country products. Now, thou, jot U3 all put our neads together to carry on our share of the bargain in good part, and if the contracting parties can mnko a good thing out of it, so much the better for us ; for so much surer will be the great success of tho enterprise. Let us not shake loose from the first party who, coming to us with the very best Northern references, has given the best evidences of being in earnest in develop ing a great resource which has been so long idle. Let os give him a helping baud in this matter, whilst, at the samo time, wo show our faith in tho enterprise by going on with th? present work.-Cb lumoia Hegitler, - At Ironton.

On the top of a truncnted pyramid stands a Russian eagle, with his talons upen the crescent and the Turkish standard. On the four ??des of the pyramid tho most important events of the war arc depicted in bas reliof. Among the exploits to bo repre sented aro the crossing of tho Danube, tho blowing up by torpedoes of aT j .-kish ironclad, the storming of Kars, iii? visit iii l?a Cul lo ino lmuMiai Ol ni mn lt za, and the encampment of tho Russians be fore Constantinople. - The latest style of putting up a tel egraph line is to p!?nt the telegraph pole with gunpowder, as ft were. The Scien tific ?tnetiam says that a man takes a bundlo of cartridges and a crowbar; drives tho crowbar into the ground four or five feet; pulls out and drops in a cartridge; lights a time fuse and drops it on top of tho cartridge, and starts on. By tho timo he has walked 200 feet, to where the next telegraph-polo is to be planted, the cartridge left in tho last dole explodes, and makes a bolo in the f[round four or five feet deep, and as argo around os a flour-barrol. Then three men come along with a team and Eules, and set up a pole in each of there oles, and tramp tho dirt around it firmly. In this way four -ven can sot up 150 poles a day, at a ..st of only one-third of that required where tho holes are dug in the ordinary way. - Ono of tho strangest acaldante on record took place on Saturday. It ia re ported by tho Cincinnati Enquirer, and firopcrly comes under the head "Strango, f True." When tho tow-boat Joseph W. Gould was coming down tho river, they ovortook Boynton above Ironton, swimming in tho river with bis gum rubber suit on, They put a rope around bim and took him tn tow, intending to tow him aa far as Portsmouth, but while bowling along at the rate of eight miles an hour, and everything going on swim mingly, they met with ft stretching mis hap. Ti?e foot of Boyton'* rubber suit caught on a mag, and, as tho boat could pot be stopped in time, something had to strctcu or break. The boys say they be lieve that gum suit stretched out IOU feet long, but when the snag broke off, where was Boynton? Tho pilot nays he saw something ricocheting on the water about a half a milo ahead of them, like a twenty-inch bomb shell thrown from a mortar. - Colonel Georg* W. Bunhyhead, an ex-chief of tho Cherokee Indians, ef North Carolina, and also an ex-Confed erate Colonel, was in our town Menday aud Tuesday last, lie had with him a Cherokee Baptist preacher named Suate Owl, who could ne-t speak one word of English. They had been on a visit to their Mends among the Catawba Indians, eight miles south of this. Most of the ? Catawbaa are familiar with th? Cherokee ? language, and on Sunday last this Indian divine preached to them in that lan guage, which is a written one, he having with him a Cherokee Testament. From Colonel Bushyhcad we learned that about 300 of the Cherokee tribe, out of a total of about 1,600, belong to the Meth odist and Baptist denominations. Col onel Bushyhcad raised a regiment from among his warriors during tho Confed erate war, and led them most gallantly on many a bloody field in East Tennes see. While here he solicited aid for some of tho very indigent of his people. Several of our citizens gave him small contributions, for which be expressed the highest appreciation. He was well pleased with the kindness shown him by our people.-Rock Hill Herald. - The laws of the iand are good enough and savere enough ; there is no fault to be found on that point ; but it is the want of a rigid, fearless and impar tial enforcement which invites crime, and thc law's delay in eur courts which rather encourages it. Our courts and their proceedings need reform-a very radical reform. The lawyer sinkB his good citizenship, his individuality, his inmate love of right and justice in becom ing the advocate. Quibbling, delaying, technicalities, sophistries ali are brought to bear in a criminal case, and tho most extraordinary afforta made to save a mur derer when he has had a fair and impar tial trial. Many times the murderer not only has one trial, but two and three, and when ho is at lust sentenced, then petitions are gotten up to be sent to the Governor for a pardon or reprieve. When public sentiment shall bo educated to deal out justice, and see that it is speedily executed ; when our court rooms censo to bo converted into trial farces ; when lawyers shall bo taught that ono fair trial is all that will be granted to a criminal ; in a word, when public senti ment shall bo educated to a high sense of right and justice, and a great respect for law and legal statutes, not only until then need a reform be looked for. When public sentiment shall declare that a man who in a 'quarrel shoots down an other, being armed at the time, shall be considered as having armed himself to provoke or give an insult, a murderer, and tried OH such, and hung as such, I there will be a healthy reaction as to the I carrying of arms and tho taking of life.

Some of tho Republican newspapers at the North, and particularly in tins city, have seized the opportunity of a few ne groes migrating from certain paris of the Southern States to Kansas, or elsewhere in tho Northwest, to represent this os a significant movement, and as tho result of unfair treatment of tho colored people by the whites. In the first place, tb ?re is no considerable migration, and certain ly not to the Northwest. Whatever is taking placo is from the poorer soil of the Atlantic States to tho richer lands of the Mississippi Valley in the South. The negro likes excitement and change, es pecially since emancipation, but the moss of negroes are working contentedly and earning good wages with their old masters, or in the locality of their old homes. Still, it appears some have been the victims of unscrupulous speculators, as nearly all are of the wandering peddlers, and as they were of the Radical politi cians during and immediately after the war. livery one remembers how these good-natured, confiding and simple peo ple were humbugged by tho Radicals promising them a mulo and forty acres of land each. It seems the Kansas spec ulators havo been practicing a like de ception. The Kansas City Times, of the 6th, says a large number of colored emi ?rants from Mississippi came tho day efore. They were of the genuine old plantation kind, and full of belief of the various stories that had been told them before leaving home. After all their baggage bad been unloaded and piled awav. ono cf the pnrty stepped over to the Kansas Pacific land office, and thus addressed one of the officials : "Say, boss, wbar do dey get dem $200 and dat 160 acres of lana. I'se come all de way from ole Mississippi wid de ole woman and de picaninnieB to got dat, and dey do tell me ober dar (pointing to the Union De pot} de Gobenor ob dis State am a col lord gentleman ; is dat so boss?" Frank Crane told him there must be some mis take, as at present they were not giving away any money or land. Tho honest darkey'scounteno ice fell several feet, and he left, stating "he would leavo de ole woman hero and see dat Gobenor." and, purchasing a tioket for Topeka, ne left on tho Atchiflon, Topeka and Santa Fa train for that point. In all probability some loud mouthed Radicals, who are in the habit of vocifer ating about negro rights, are at the bot tom of this swindle. In time tho colored people will learn who are their best friends.-New York Star. The Drainage Law.

CARPET-BAGGERS GOING VEST.-It ia not generally known that the thriving and hitherto happy young Commonwealth of Colorado has become the Mecca of the Southern carpet-baggers, who are swarming thither from the desolate pas tures of tne South, where for the past ten years they have been feathering their nests at the expense of a war-worn peo Sie. About a year and a half since, udgo R>> R. Carpenter, ft South .arollna judge under Chamberlain's administra tion, and a notorious faro dealer, went to Denver City, where he opened a faro bank and a law office, and was soon fol lowed by ex-Congressman L, Cass Csr Knter and about a dozen of the lesser _jhts vi South Carolina Radicalism. Suite a number of carpet-baggers have so gone to Denver City from Arkansan.

RANDA M/S FORMAN.-Mr. Joseph O. S. Blackburn, of Kentucky, who pro poses to dispute the claims of Sam Ran dall for thc Speakership of the next House, is now serving his third term in Congress and is a recognized leader on the Democratic side. Joe is 41 years old, a graduate of Centre College, Kentucky, a lawyer by profession, entered thc Con federate army in 18G1 atid served to the close of tba war. He walks with a bad limp-the effect of a Union bullet hav ing been deposited in his left leg by a boy in blue to remind Mr. Blackburn that his attempt to overthrow the consti tution and the Union was a somewhat seri ous a..d reprehensible undertaking. He is a free and easy speaker, and his orato ry largely partakes of the usual aurora borealis style that characterized the typ ical Southern stumper. His prcsenco is good and his voice resembles tho Hound of a fireman's trumpet, which isa needed qualification in a man who wishes to be heard in so boisterous and turbulent a body as the House, of Representatives. Undoubtedly he would make as good a presiding officer as Randall, but that is saying very little in praise of Joseph. He lacks a little of the dignity that Ran dall possesses-and Randall never had any to sparc-hut that Joe will rival Sam as a partisan, if ho over gets into the Speaker's chair, there can uo little doubt. Blackburn represents in his own proper person thc very latest sod most approved style of modern Democracy, and is, therefore, a most fit man to bo made tho conspicuous figure-head of an ex'.ra session of Congress that bas been called in consequence of tho parti san blindness and stubbornness of his party. A dyed-in-thc-wool Bourbon, a States' rights Democrat and an ex Confcderato origadier, all united in one and the Batnc person, present claims for consideration that cannot be ignored by the new order about to be established in Washington.-From the Chicago Trib une. FATAL AFFRAY IN ATLANTA.-Col. Robert A. Alston, a native of South Car olina, but for years a resident of Georgia, and a member of the present Legislature, was killed in an affray in Atlanta on Tuesday, 11th inst., by Capt. E. S. Cox. Alston fired three shots and Cox two. Alston was shot in the right temple, thc ball passing through his brain. Cox was shot in the mouth and through the left hand. Alston is dead, but Cox is not seriously hurt. The difficulty arose from Alston's having a power of attorney from Senator Gordon to sell tho latter's inter est in the State convict lease. Cox is a sub-lessee under Gordon, and wanted Alston to Bell Gordon's interest to Wal ters, who had promised to buy Cox out. Abit?n sold to another person. Cox threatened Alston at noon that ho would kill him before sundown if the trade waa not cancelled and mado with his man. He hunted Alston down.*> Gov. Colquitt and others having detained Alston at the capitol, the quarrel was renewed, and both drew their pistols with thc result above stated._ The Ball Given Sherman. DUNCANBBY, Muss., March 6,1879. lb the Editor of the Acut and Courier: Please deny on my authority that L waa present at a ball given to Gen. Sher man, at Jacksonville, Florida.

Suffering for a Life Time. Persons afflicted with rheumatism often suffer for a lifo time, their tortures being al most without remission. Thc joints nnd muscles of such unfortunates are in moat cases shockingly contorted and drawn out of shape. To afford them even temporary relief, tho ordinary remedies often prove utterly useless. Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, on the other hand, is avouched by per sons who bato used it, to bo a genuine source of relief. It keeps the blood cool by promoting a regular habit of body, and re moves from it impurities which, in tho opinion of nil rational pathologists, origi nate this agonizing complaint and its kin dred malady, tho gout. Besides this the Bitters remedy disorders of the stomach, liTcr and nerves, prevent and eradicate in termittent and remittent fevers, promote appetite and sleep', and are highly recom mended by physicians as a desirable modi cinal stimulant and tonic.
