Tho Round 7able, nn able and vigor? ous weekly journal, which has been a steady supporter of conservative republicanism, is painting, in dark colors, the effects of radical rule. It says : The plain meaning of the pseudo reconstruction Acts of Congress, now being pushed to their most mer? ciless consummation, is simply this: First-to register in the South tho entire negro population and such whites ns may unite with them in supporting tho radical party in Con? gress. Second-to prohibit the re? gistration of tho vast majority of the whites who have a real interest in the quiet and prosperity of tho country. Third-to submit to the voters of the States thus registered the question whether they will or will not hold a convention for the reconstruction of their States under the Congressional plan. Under this mode of proceed ure, it may be seen what a hopeful future lies bofore tho South and tho whole country. Either tho States will vote for convention or fio con? vention. The white vote will be largely cast against convention; for the present military rule, with all its disadvantages, nt least affords pro? tection, while reconstruction, such as has been perpetrated in the State of Tennessee, gives littlo protection but to negro brigands. The radical whites and tho negro voters who are interested in subverting nil decent rule and authority, will, of course, unite in favor of convention. Now, suppose-although the case is hardly possible-that tho convention is, by such a mockery of suffrage, rejected. Then the radicals will avail them? selves of the cry of Southern con? tumacy; Mr. Stevens' "mild confis? cation" is brought into play; the South is wholly ruined by this villain? ous atrocity for merely saying, as our generous Congress lins invited her to say, that she prefers tho rule of military satraps to the harder rule of uninstructed negroes and white bravos. On tho other hand, sup? pose-nnd this is the only supposi? tion justified bj' "the registration which is being mude-that a conven? tion is desired. Then it is practical? ly a negro convention. It will frame a constitution that will throw the whole power of tho State into the hands of the negroes and white men who hope to profit by the suffrages of the negroes. Tho proscription of white mou will be moro sweeping than Congressional proscription. Confiscation of the property of white men by their negro rulers will be sure to follow; and tho indirect con? fiscation will be more destructive thon confiscation outright. Tho ruling class, having no property themselves, will look upon the trans? fer of their subjects' property into their own possession us the one grout end of government. With a penni? less negro Legislature to tux, and de? fenceless white men to be taxed, the issue cannot long be doubtful. In every county tuxes will bo laid in the same way by negroes upon white men. In the towns and cities negro councilmen will vote themselves Inrgo salaries, ciento unnecessary offices for purposes of plunder, and for like ends undertake enormous jobs of fanciful public improvement. Jus? tice administered by negro magis? trates will be a farce; redress of wrongs will be impossible. Liberty of outrage will be amply secured. The liberty of death will be the only liberty secured to men whoso crime is that they were boru white. A cheap funeral cur is tho latest French invention. It is n hearse which carries priest und mourners, ns veil aa thc collin. A PETRIFIED WOMAN.-In Albany, N. Y., last week, the friends of a woman who had been buried seven? teen years, went to the grave for the purpose of removing the body. On opening the grave, the coffin crum? bled to pieces, and the body lay there ns whole ns when deposited. The skin was black, and covered with n substance similar to moss, and pre? sented a moldy appearance. On ex? amination, the body was found com? pletely petrified. The black surface was comped off tho skin, when the latter presented a beautiful white ap? pearance, like that of cut marble. This is a remarknble circumstance, and elicits tho wonder of all who have heurd of it. CONTESTED SEAT.-Joseph Powell gives formal notice to Congressman Butler, of the First Tennessee Dis? trict, that he will contest his seat in Congres. Powell was a Congression? al candidate, and received forty-one votes against Butler's eight or tea thousand. On the sole ground that Butler was a rebel in the early dnys of the war, his competitor claims the seat. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Sept 25 3mo ARE YOI 1I1L.IOUS?-Multitudes of both sexes will answer this question in the aflirmativo; for, next to disorders of the stomach, liver-complaints are perhaps the most prevalent of all internal ditcascs. Its usual symptoms are a yellowish tinge in the whites of thc eyes, especially near tho inner corners, an uneasy or slightly painful sensation in tho right side, pain between the shoulder blades, sick head? ache, lassitude, mental dullness, lack nf appetite, and irregularity of the bowels. Whoever recognizes this diagnosis as ap? plying to his own condition, may bc quito certain that moro hilo exista in his blood and less passes through bia bowels than ia expedient for bia heaUh, and that bia liver requires toning *nd regulating. One of the special uses of HOSTETTEH'S HITTERS Is to meet just such exigencies aa thia. Its tonie principio rouaes tho liver from its torpor, and ita aperient element gently relieves tho intestinal canal of tho accre? tions consequent upon an insufficient sup? ply of nature's cathartic, tho bile.
