Allon, Chester. 8. P. Kinard, Newberry C. H. James Grant, Union. Julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. Address. The Democratic Centrnl Execrative Committee of Georgia executes a long address to the party. Among other things, it says : Notwithstanding wo hold the Reconstruction Acts of Con? gress -were enacted outside of tho Constitution and without constitu? tional authority, we do not propose or intend to maintain our position by & resort to force. The constitu? tionality of those Acts is a question to be decided by the Federal Judicia? ry upon a proper case made. If their decision should be adverse to the constitutionality of that legislation we will claim all the consequences which will legitimately result from such a decision, and it will not be un? reasonable in ns to expect that those who hold opposite views will acquiesce in tho decision and accord to us all the rights to which it may legally entitle us. On the contrary, if the constitutionality of the reconstruction measures should be sustained by the supreme Federal Judiciary, as peace? able, law abiding oitizens wo will yield submission to that decision, and cease all further opposition to those measures; and in another con? tingency, if the Supreme Conrtshould refuse to entertain jurisdiction of cases presented under these Acts, the only alternative left will bo to yield them obedience as laws obligatory and binding or to resist them by revolution, and the latter wo unhesi? tatingly reject. Wo desire a peaceful solution of tho complications arising under these Aots, anda finality to the .agitation which they have produced. In our own State, wo recognize the government which has been organ? ized by authority of these Acts, and will recognize it now and henceforth if it should not bo superseded by authority of law. If our State shall be remanded to tho Government ex? isting prior to the enactment of tho Reconstruction Acts, it must be done by operation of law and not by revo? lution. We hold, then, that the ques? tion of tho constitutionality of the Acts referred to is a question for the Judi? ciary and not for an appeal to arms or any violent revolutionary measures to be resisted by the President of tho United States, to set up or sot aside these measures by his own mere will. Whichever of the present candidates for the Presidency of the United States may be elected to that office neither should nse his arbitrary will either in enforcing these measures against a d?cision of the Supreme Court declaring them unconstitution? al or in suppressing them, and sotting them aside before the action of the Judiciary can be had. We pledge ourselves to submit to all laws constitutionally enaoted; to all decisions of the courts declaring laws to be constitutional whose constitu? tionality may be disputed, and in re? turn we claim all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. We claim protec? tion of life, liberty and property by law, and we claim for our State equal? ity of rights and privileges with other States of the Union. We de? sire to see our Government brought back to its original purity and first principles. We desire an administra? tion of tho Federal Government upon tho principles upon which it was ad? ministered in the early ages of tho Republic Let tho Federal Govern? ment be administered upon theso principles, and, speaking for the ?icople of Georgia, we pledge our ortune8 and our sacred honor to maintain tho Union in its full vigor. The report of the House Commit? tees on tho state of the Republic, submitted by Mr. Shumate, is an able document. It reviews the history of Georgia sinoo May, 1865; says recon? struction un'7 er the Congressional plan !s accomplished and past; dep? recates the inflammatory and abusive character of certain political publica? tions, speeches, ?co., made for the purpose of arousing the hostility of one race against tho other; also, that there are men. in our midst who would basely and falsely assert that it is the purpose of a majority of the white people of tho State to remand the negro to his former condition of slavery; asserts it as tho purpose of the white people of the Stnto to faith? fully protect the negro raco in the enjoyment of all the rights, privi? leges and immunities guaranteed to him by the Constitution and laws of tho United States and tho Costitu? tion and laws of this State. The report concludes ns follows: "We see no reason to apprehend that the State government, under the present Constitution, in its legitimate operation as directed and adminis? tered by tho several departments as now constituted, will be more re? strictivo of the rights of uny class of J our citizens than is absolutely neces? sary to harmonize it with aud con? form it to the requirements of the Constitution and laws of the United States, and wo trust the State go? vernment will adhere to and make effective the first section in the de? claration of the fuudameutal princi? ples embraced in our Constitution Protection of person aud property is the paramount duty of government, and shall bo impartial and complete."

THREE HUSBANDS POISONED BY THEIR WIVES.-A most extraordinary oase is to bo tried shortly before tho Cour d'Assizes of Marseilles. It has just been discovered that three wo? men coolly and deliberately poisoned their husbands, in order to marry again. Two of the husbands died some months ago; the third and last in August. All three bodies have been exhumed, to bo analyzed by medical men, each of the presumed assassins boiug brought in presence of the victim. Ono of the women is forty-five years of age, another thir? ty-five and tho third scarcely twenty. As far as can bo ascertained at pre? sent, they appear to have been assist? ed in their crimo by a fourth woman -a necromancer, or tieruse de cartes -who seems both to have inspired the deed and helped to accomplish it.

From time, whereof the memory of man runnoth not to tho contrary, tonio bitters havo been used. Formerly, men made their own bitters, aud few thought of eat? ing breakfast without first taking their "tunsy." Thofo wero days, however, when prohibitory laws wero unknown, and, in consequence, liquors were pure. Deal? ers contd then afford to bo honest and sell nothing but tho unadulterated. Now, however, what with Government tax and court fines, poke-berry juice and alcohol must pass muster for "old ryo" and "pure Bourbon." People havo como to fear ? poisoning moro than malarial diseases, 1 I and dropped their "tansy." Right boro is where HOSTETTER ft SMITH, of Pitts? burgh, have proven benefactors. Years ago, thov commonocd tho manufacturo of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, laying it down as a rulo (that has since been conscientiously followed) to use no? thing but tho purest liquors, manufac? turen expressly for them. By strict adhe? rence to this rule, they have won public confidence and reaped'their reward in a large, profitable and steady business. Their BITTERS is known all over tho country. They are thc pioneers of tho business, and have tho largest manufac? tory in tho world. Nor has success, in their case, (as in too many instances,) rendered them careless; their BITTERS is as pure and good, to-day, as was tho first distillation. We heartily reoouimcnd them as a tonic. As a specific for dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation, nervousness, general debili? ty and remittent and intermittent fevers, its efficacy has never been questioned. There are many worthless imitations. We earnestly caution tho public aOainst thorn._September IC ffi .'MANHOOD."-Another New Medical Pamphlet from tho pen of Dr. Curtis.

THE WEEKLY GLEANER, A LARGE EIGHT-PAGE JOURNAL OF NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE. An excellent Paper for Country Reading. ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC IN THE GREAT FIGHT AGAINST RADICAL USURPATION. TO THE PEOPLE OF TIIE SO UTIL ?mite THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to thc rehabilitation of the South in its former prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho low rate of $1.50 for six months. The annals of tho American Republic show no political campaign comparable in thc magnitude of its issues and tho mo? mentousness of its results to that for the Presidency, now pending. Indeed, thc very lifo of free govcrnmep* is on trial, and it will bo a sad commentary on the capacity of tho people for thc exercise of that high trust ii they, thc jurors who aro to try thc issue, pronounce a verdict of self-condemnation. If tho South has any hope it is in the success of thc Democratic party in thc coming Presidential election; and every citizen is vitally interested in tho progress of the battle, and cannot afford to be without a sound and reliable newspaper. As an organ, not only of .sound Demo? cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge? neral news, the GLEANER is confidently commended to Southern support. A largo eight-page paper, of forty-eight columns, lilied with tho contributions of ablo cor? respondents, the daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readablo edi? torials. Especially will it bo valuable as an organ to disabuso tho Northern mind of the falsehoods in relation to Southern thought and actions, with which it is thc industrious vocation of certain parties to poison tho springs of Northern feeling on Southern subjects. In this view of tho matter, no more valuable aid to tho trnc reconstruction of the country and restora? tion of just sentiment at the North toward the F ?nth can bo rendered than by sub? scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and sending it to acquaintances and friends in tlie Northern States. We ask the aid of such of our political comrades as shall see this prospectus, in the distribution of the paper; especially during tho progress of the impending campaign. Tho WEEKLY GLEANED is published every Wednesday morning, and mailed to singlo subscribers at $3.00 per ai.um; Six Months, $1.50; Three Months, 75c.; Single Copies, 10c.
