Some* times the pain is in the shoulder, and is mistaken for rheumatism. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sick ess, bowels in general costive, and I sometimes alternating with lax. The | head is troubled with pain, and dull, heavy sensation, considerable loss of memory, accompanied with painful sen? sation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. Often complaining of weakness, debility and low spirits. Sometimes many of the above symptoms attend the disease, and at other times, very few of them; but the Liver is generally the organ most in- ' volved. ?PAS SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR!

To illustrate, as well a-s sustain this posi? tion, we may cite the increased influence of public opinion over the Government, since the introduction of railroads and telegraph lines?those two great adjuncts to the printing press in diffusing know? ledge. They not only facilitate the trans? mission of information, but they bring the citizens oi all sections into direct and immediate communication with each j other, if not into personal conference. While the Government, then, has become more consolidated, publio opinion has also become more consolidated. While the simple Federal Republic has become a strong nation, comparatively central? ized, the "annihilators of time and space" have also been introduced; and publio opinion, susceptible now of rapid concentration by the telegraph and the railroad, is too strong to be ignored. The arteries and veins of the social or? ganism now permeate the entire system, and distribute and diffuse throughout all parts the annual products of indus? try? the blood of the corporate existence? while its magnetic nerves, flashing from all points the. alarms of evil or the tidings of good, bind the whole together in sympathy?a conscious "thing of life!" What is it? It is the expanding form of freedom's empire?the nope of man. It is the living, growing body po? litic, in which throbs the great American heart, with its unbounded aspirations for progress. Its soul is the genius of humanity; while the collective human mind, finding its expression through public opinion, presides over and pro? tects it. Such is the last born of civuizor (ton?a child of the new world, nurtured and reared by the goddess of liberty. Observe, also, the increased influence of the "free press"?so aptly termed the "fourth estate" in politics. In the early history of journalism, the newspaper was generally forced from pecuniary neces? sity to become the organ of some party, individual or particular interest; but to? day the leading journals of the country, those entitled to the proud distinction of the independent press, are sustained by the ample patronage of the reading and business public, and are relieved from the necessity or the temptation of court? ing pecuniary support from any particu? lar source. They are independent pecu? niarily, as well as in principle, and can? not afford to be subsidized. They are not expounders only of public opinion, but, to a certain extent, they seek to form and lead it; and even when supporting a political party, they can be so far un partisan as to repudiate party measures which they do not approve. They are really seekers after truth, refusing to prostitute their columns for advocating specific objects. As there is necessarily talent and ability connected with their management, they are competent as well as disinterested advisers upon all ques? tions that arise. On the average, there? fore, the independent press will be found on the side of truth, justice and right. 1 On the whole, as the political mentor, will I enlighten, elevate and purify the public conscience. We had a practical demon? stration of the influence which this free j press now wields, as the "fourth estate" I in the social economy, in what was ac? complished by the "great dailies" during last year, in investigating and reporting, through their special correspondents, the real condition of affairs in tue South. After ascertaining the truth, they fear? lessly sni actively proclaimed it?thus battling earnestly for right and justice r'nst prevailing prejudice, and against policy of the party in power. The respectable journals of the country*, in consequence, were soon engaged (with a few exceptions) in exposing tue fraud of alleged Ku Klux outrages, and in de? nouncing the corruption of carpet-bag misrule. The result was as beneficial to the cause of good government and free? dom in the South, as the rebuke to the party which had tolerated such abuses was prompt and emphatic at the polls; while the course pursued so earnestly and impartially by the enterprising jour? nals which originated the movement, will be valuable as an example, and is most auspicious of the future influence of the press. As, then, the influence of the Central Government increased, the decentralizing influence of the press also increased, as the supposed fatal evil was developed, an ample cor? rective, the "fourth estate," was evolved. And while the vast patronage and power now attaching to the National Govern? ment would have been regarded former? ly as inevitably subversive of our insti? tutions, yet we have no Buch apprehen? sions, because an active, fearless and powerful independent press is now always ready (and is able) to attack and expose corruption, and to sound the alarm and arouse the people at the first indication of danger. It should not be overlooked, that the trying ordeals to which constitutional S)vernment has been subjected during ie past ten years, have been surmounted while the South was practically without influenae in directing the policy of the administration. The Southern people had always been conservative?opposing every encroachment of national authori? ty, and thus exerted a restraining in? fluence over the centralizing tendenoy of the North. The habits, aims and aspira? tions of the Northern people, on the other hand, looked to the rapid acenmu-' Attend thelTrue Event." fLY 23, 1875. VOL lation of wenlth and the increase of popu ulation; and they naturally desired a strong central government. We ran well understand how the resultant of these opposing tendencies might havo been a happy equilibrium along a line of pro gress between the two extremes, 'honges would have been introduced, gradually following the example of time, "which indeed innovateth greatly but slowly," and we would thus have secured a national government which, recogniz? ing fully the local rights of the States and the freedom of the individual, would at the same time have been sufficiently strong to protect the varied commercial and other interests of a rapidly increas? ing population. In the absence, how? ever, for ten years of the restraining in? fluence of the South, it is not surprising, under the circumstances, that the equi? librium was temporarily destroyed. But the dangers were at last appreciated by the North, and the reaction of public opinion became so great as, even in Mas? sachusetts, to hurl the Republican party from power. The South is now again on a footing of equality, and in any future struggles against abuse of power, or against a tendency to imperialism, her conservative influence will be available and may be relied on. What the whole country now needs, so far as her material prosperity is concerned, is, that the South, on the one hand, should acquire some of the characteristic thrift and business energy of the North; should build up her cities by manufactures and commerce; should populate, improve and cultivate her waste districts; should open and operate her mines, and should, in short, develop as rapidly as possible all her material re? sources; while the Northern people, re? collecting that' 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," should, on their part, check any further tendency to central? ization, whether in the executive, legis? lative or judicial department. While we should study more the science and art of wealth, they should study more the science and art of government Corrupt administrations in some of the Southern States, and the demoralizing influence of adventurers and office seekers over colored laborers, may con? tinue to depress business and enterprise, but there is now reason for believing that these blighting influences will be only temporary. The future of the negro in the South, as a citizen and a voter, is an interesting subject of vital impor? tance, but it involves a problem which time alone can solve. We can, however, see the beginning of the end, for already "the gray-eyed moon smiles on the frowning night" Wherever the whites have the majority in the South, the ne? gro, no longer the active politician, has proved himself a quiet, peaceable and well-disposed citizen. As a laborer, we need him, and in this capacity he will be invaluable. Nor need he be, because of an inferior race, an incubus upon the South, as some would have us believe. If the Southern people were left to them? selves, without further interference in this matter by Fcderalf legislation or otherwise, there would be no trouble be? tween the races; and the colored man, no longer influenced and deluded by ad? venturers, would become a contented and faithful laborer. In the meantime, the whites should appreciate the posi? tion of the misguided race, and be scru? pulously just and kind to it. Upon the whole, then, as far as oppor? tunity and circumstances are concerned, the South is in a position to reap her full share of the prosperity and progress of the country in the future. Our peo- ' pie, however, must fully realize their condition as well as their opportunities. They must cultivate habits of steady industry, and they must' rait their chil? dren to* work. The influence and ability of Southern statesmen before the war are matters of historv. They controlled the country until i860. The South has still the same talents, the same culture and the samo genius for statesmanship, and although it may be true, that individuals cannot in the future wield tbo direct influence they have exerted in the past, yet genius will stil 1 bo potent in shaping that public opinion of the masses, which is now the "power in politics." The first talent of the South, before the war, naturally sought publio life as the field for dis? tinction, and the genius of the South was thus concentrated almost exclusively in her statesmanship, (the demand in the irrepressible conflict for what she deemed self-preservation creating the snpplv.) Sho excelled in statesmanship, ana if the same talent and genius be de? voted now to other occupations, she will also excel in literature, science and the arts of life. It is vitally important, in this connection, that our people be edu? cated. Knowledge is power as regards communities as well as individual*. While the culture and education of the higher classes of Southern society have been unequaled in any other section of the country, our opportunities for pub? lio instruction have been limited. It is more important now than ever that this should be corrected. Aside from other considerations, we cannot expect to com? pete with our friends at the North in the race for wealth and progress, unless the masses of our people are equally well educated; and in considering the future of our now impoverished South, there is probably no clearer question of policy UME XI?NUMBER 105. tli un thai of s u h tnin in g the public schools. Any appropriations made for this pur? pose will ultimately prove the most pro? fitable of all investments. A new century of union, progress and Srosperity is now being ushered in u.u er the harmonizing auspices of the centennial celebrations; and the people of the two sections are vieing with each other in their offerings of local preju? dices as sacrifices upon the altars of fra? ternity and friendship. This spirit of reconciliation, aided by the sacred and ennobling memories of the earlier days, has awakened new hopes for a common future, and promises to restore re-union in feeling as well as in form. Mutual concession and forbearance have already accomplished much, by arousing a com? mon sympathy in these associations of the past; but permanent reconciliation and true friendship must be based upon mutual respect ana equality: and if we* would reap the full fruits of these auspi? cious celebrations, we should, in a broad spirit of magnanimity, mutually recog? nize and acknowledge what each section, in its peculiar province, has accom SUshed for the common good. The forth has led Sn the physical world, in the material development of the country; the South has concentrated her best energies in the moral world, in seeking to realize her ideals of true manhood, of broad and pure statesmanship and high public character. The success of the earlier efforts of the one soon placed the country on the highest pinnacle of ma? terial greatness?as first in the world in intelligence, enterprise and energy; and we were all proud of the result. The success of the earlier efforts of the other soon impressed itself upon the free institutions of the country through bar Jeffersons, her Madisons, her Marshalls, her Laurenses, her Butledges and her Pinckneys; and as the personified pro? duct of her highest aspirations, the South gave to the common country the exalted character of Washington. But this addi? tional bond of union and of friendship, in the mutual recognition of contribu? tions to the country's greatness, need not be limited to these earlier days. We of the South fully appreciate the unbounded resources and material power that have been developed, in these later years, by Northern intelligence, energy and enter Srise; and we recognize that these have emonstrated to the world that republi? canism, with its unfettered liberty of action, promotes intelligence, stimulates industry, produces unrivaled prospe? rity, and at the same time insures une ?[ualed power in war. This was exhibited n the conflict between the States. But, fully appreciating what has been achieved by Northern skill, energy and industry, we claim that the South has displayed, in the same Btryggle, a morale, a will and a force of character of which any people may justly be proud; and that sho has accordingly demonstrated to the world that republicanism can develop the high? est moral qualities. And the adherence of our people to their plighted faith, given when finally overpowered, (al? though not defeated,) is equally pre? cious, as an exhibition of public honor that has never been surpassed. The same character, the same devotion to duty and to principle, which sustained them in prolonging the struggle against unparalleled odds, removed all armed disaffection, after their word had bees given to resist no longer, and insured the sacred observance of their troth. At the great centennial, then, at Phila? delphia, for which these lesser celebra? tions are preparing us all, we expect to see a people represented who, unpreju? diced by local influences or sectional foeling, will appreciate true greatness, wherever or under whatever circum? stances it may have been displayed. And while wc of the South shall recog? nize and be proud of the amazing in? dustrial and intellectual achievements of the North, which shall then be repre? sented, we shall also be justly proud of what the South can offer to represent her achievement*) for the common country's f;rentness. Her material offerings will >e poor, but, as in the earlier days, the South gave to the country her best con? tributions in the wisdom, the virtue, and the valor of her sons, so in these later cen? tennial days she can refer to the recent achievements of her sons as indicating the valor and the heroism which may be relied upon whenever needed in the country's defence; she can refer to their high sense of honor recently exhibited as an earnest of fidelity to that Union which they have now accepted as their own. 8he can confidently refer to both as indicating the high morel worth which she contributes to the ovuntry's welfare and renown. And it is the conscious? ness of this which places her sons'around these centennial altars, not conquered and crushed, but proud and erect, re? cognized equals and peers; and, an in the earlier days, she gave to the nation and to the world her Washington, representing all the virtue and the valor which she aspired to, so, hi this later day, when material development, physical grandeur, threatens to eclipse and overshadow moral development, moral grandeur, she can tender as her beet gift to the country and to the world the exalted and majestic charaeter af her Lee, as personifying and embodying bor highest aspirations for true giaatjiCM, Although the South has not heretofore devoted due attention to material deve
