There never has heen a time when the healing of 8o many different discases has heen caused by outward application &g the present. Itisan undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to ‘the use of ordinary plasters, . < Dr. Mervin’s Cavsioum/ Porovs Prasrins are acknowledges-by all who have used them to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and-that one of these péastere will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind, All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continnally to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely different: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect. 3 I?hysicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum ; and it hds always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advnntaﬁes in & porousplagter have been discovered. Deing, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MzLvin’g Carstiounm® PoroUs Prasrrrs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actu~ ally prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, painin the side and back, and all such cases.as have re%uired the uge of plagters or liniment.

LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THUSDAY, MAY 2, 1878,

THE FLORIDA FRAUD. The Great Crime Fully Adniitted, Tilden Carried ihe Stato Beyond tho Shadow of a Doubt. -

; - McLin’s Confession. NEW [YORK, April 24.—The Times prints McLin’s confession in full as follows: *“As a member of the late State Board of Canvassers of the State | of Florida, . I feel impelled, by a sense of duty to myseif and justice to othezg. .and make the following statement: At the time the canvass gvas made I was not at any time conscious of acting otherwise than right and proper. I entered upon the canvass with the conviction that it was my privilege and duty, in a political sense, Lo give the benefit of every doubt in favor .of the Republican party. I felt that when a question could be decided either way without doing violence to a public sense of justice, it -was fairly allowable in politics that I should always lean t 6 my own party, and give my decision in its favor even at the hazard of straining a point. | At notime did I feel that I occupied the position of a judge, charged with the duty of a strict and nice weighing and balancing of all the evidence presented. Liooking back -now to that time I feel that there was a combination of influences that must have oper‘ated most powerfully in blinding my judgment and swaying my action. “l had been for many years, and-was at the time of the canvass, a very active partisan. I sincerely thought that our State and the nation would suffer irreparable injury if the Demo-

| cratic party were to obtain the Presi- | denecy, and the policy of hatred to the | negro, and those who had been the friends ot the negro should obtain control at Washington. It was the common and unanimous talk also that the very existence of the men who, 1n the South had upheld the Republican paity, was dependent upon the election of Mr. Hayes. Mr. Hayes would sustain them throughout the South, while Mr, Tilden would crush them. I was . shown numerous telegrams addressed | to Governor Stearnes and others from the trusted leaders of the Republican party in the North, insisting that the salvation of the country depended upon the vote of Florida . being cast for Hayes. Those telegrams came from those to whom I had been accustomed to defer, the Chairman of the National Committee and the man who was the nearest personal friend of Mr. IHayes had conducted the canvass. These telegrams also gave assurance of the forchcoming of rmoney and troops if necessary in securing the victory tor Mr. Hayes. : : Following these telegrams, trusted | Northern Republicans, party leaders ‘ and personal friends of Mr. Hayes, arrived in Florida as rapidly as the railroads could bring them. I was surrounded by these men who were ardent Republicans, and especially by friends of Governor flayes; one gentleman - particulariy, Governor Noyes, of Ohio, was understoed to represent him and speak with the authority of & warm personal friend, commission= ed with power to dctin his behalf. These men referred to the general de‘struction of the country- should Mr. Tilden be elected, the intense anxiety of the Republican party of the North, and their full sympathy with us. I can not suy how far my aection may have been influenced by the intense excitement that prevailed around me, or how far my partisan zeal may have led me into error; neither can I say " how far my course. was influenced by the promise made by Noyes that if Mr. Hayes becamé President I should Le ‘rewarded. Certainly those influences must have had a strong control over my judgment and action.

“Reviewing my action at this dis tance of time with all calmness, with my ardor cooled and my partisan zeal chilled by the President who has basely betrayed and mercilessly destroyed the Republican party of the Sonth and crushed the very men who did so much for his election, I am persuaded the Florida canvass was .not conducted with that cool, calm judgment and honest, unbiased decision that should have characterized a proceeding involving such vastand important interests. Instead of this I now see that the whole proceedings . went- through upon the highest wave of political excitement; that partisan feeling, stimulated to the utmost by the most powerful agencies, usurped the place of reason and sound judgment, and political expediency ruled the hour.— A large number of precinets were either contested by the democratic or republican party. Voluminous testimony was filed, and the lawyers of both sides argued each for their side of the Issue that it was the duty of the board to throw out and not inciude in the count, or retain and count precincts on the ground of illegality in the conduct of the election or fraud that was charged to exist. “The Attorney-General of the State, a member of the board, had decided that the board had quasi judigial power, and the right to exclude precincts from the count if the returns were shown to beso irregular, false or fraudulent as to prevent the board from ascertaining from them the true vote, — With this view the board entered upon the work of the canvass, with the conviction that they were invested with large discretionary powers of mixed characters, political and judicial. ' Partizan zeal and strong political ties had a powerful influence in the exercise of these powers, and the Republicans having a majority of the board, the canvass was largely in their favor, as the result proved. If the board bad acted im accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court of the State, defiling the powers and duties of the board in reference to throwing out precinets, since rendered, there is no question of the faect that Mr. Tilden would have been entitled to the vote of Florida. Excluding the return from Baker county, which was | counted, and which, 1 have since learned from the parties who made it, | was a falsely manufactured return, and including the true rvetarn, which corresponded with the precinet’s returns of that county, which would certainly have given the State to Mr. Tilden. Archer Precinct No. 2, Chua county, was included in the count. _The fraud committed in this precinct; was not shown to the boatd by the Democratic lawyers, although contest was made and much attention | given to this precinct, but I have re- | contly learned from' the repnitioan | caders of that oounty. that atte tho |

' In a recent issue of a green--baek psper published in New: York City, the following assertion is made: A connivance of the crelﬁm, itor class with the officers of ‘the government have reduced the volume of legaltender notes from $684,000,000 in. 1865 to $350,000,000 In 1877, a reduction of $334,000,000 of government money ; and it says further, that this compels the debtor class to ‘pay debts with but little more than half the amount of money in circulation that there was when the debts were contracted. It also says that the creditors of the country obtained control of the g,overnment and had laws enacted which “des royed?”’ more-than half of the money.. Now. I would ask : 1, Istheabove strietly true ; if not, how much s 0? 2. Are not National Bank hotes money? 3. Have we not got almost as muech circulation now as we had in 18652 4. If a bank bill is lost does the'bank gain that much? 5. Does not the resumption act enact that the Fl‘eenbacks shall all be withdrawn from circuation and destroyed? 6. Are there any silver dollar })leces coined wei%rhing 412'% grains? 7. What i 3 tlie meaning of the word subsidiari', | as applied to silver coin? 8, Do the -peox% e have 1o pay interest on the bonds that the banks déposit in Washington as security tor t.hcir,cir%atmn? If 80, are they not paying lnterest on a large sum of money when really less than half of it is in circulation? F. L. © ANZWER.~-1. There is a very wide belief that the contraction policy was part of a plot of the money kings to greatly enhance their riches at the expense of the masses; but, while nany evidences point to such a conclusion, they are more circumstantial than direct. and positive in their force, though some of them seem to be almost as strong in their indicativeness as the

paper wad discharged from a gun, found to match a torn newspaper taken from the prisoner’s pocket. The volume of legal-tenders in 1865, as stated by the New York paper, consisted as follows on Sept. 1: United States notes, $433,160,569 ; compound ‘interest legal tender, $217,024,160;— Treasury 5 per cent. legal tenders, $32,536,991; Treasury notes, past due, legal tenders, and not presented for redemption, $1,503,020—a total of $684,224,740. But this is not all. Fraetional curreney, convertible into greenbacks, and hence equivalent to legal teuders.to any amount, was outstanding in ‘the sum of $26,344,752. Besides, as much of $830,000,000 of sev-en-thirties were outstanding, of which the greater portion had been made legal tenders by law. The entire volume of paper issues which performed the functions of money, on September ; 1, 1865, including national and State bank bills, and excluding coin of all kinds, amounted to $1,996,678,770. On October 31, 1877, the legal tenders outstanding amounted to $354,554,594.50, not including fractional currency. 2. Technically, national bank notes are not money, although they pass current as if they wer2 money. A creditor must aceent lecal tendera in dic

charge of his claim, but he may refuse bank notes, which are not legal tenders between citizens. 3. Notsomuech by over twelve hundred million dollars. 4. The question has never been determined, but the gain probably belongs to the United States government, which pledges the redemption of every national bank bill in the last resort. When g bank surrenders any. ‘part of its circulation, it deposits with ‘the Secretary of the T'reasury an equal sum in greenbacks. 5. The Secretary claims the right under the law to Te: .issue the greenbacks. 6. Yes, sincethe remonetization of silver® not before that, after the coinage .act of 1873 took effect. 7. Subsidiary is applied to all of our coins less than a dollar each (silver, copper, bronze, and nickel), which are either of base metal, or contain a larger proportion of alloy than is admissible in standard silver. 8. Yes, the people are taxed to pay interest on these bonds, but would have to do so no matter what parties held them:. One argumert urged in favor of retiring bank cireulation, and issuing greenbacks instead is that the greenbacks could be isgued in the purchase of bonds for caneellation, thereby stopping the interest and taxation, once for all.

The Meost Valunable Gifts--~Restoration 5 e . -~ - of the Health. During the past teén years the Great Shoshonees Remedy has faithfully redeemed every promise and guarantee made to the public. Alarming and apparently hopeless cases of lung diseases, dyspepsia, liver complaints, afflictions of the kidneys and chrouic complaints of every description, including scrofula and skin diseases of life-long duration, have been permanently removed and eradicated. Those: who volunteered their testimony to the efhicacy of the Remedy, are not ‘bogus people in unheard-of localities of foreign countries bub respectable citizéns of the country, easy of access and open to question, upon whose ' verbal recommendations we are will‘ing to rest the reputation of the Great Shoshonees Remedy. If you are afflicted, do not delay until medicine may be pewerless to aid you. No injurious effects can possibly follow the use of these Indian Remedies, as they contain no minerals, by which the fate of the invalid is so often sealed under the form of some temporary sedative or stimulant. These Indian Remedies are widely known‘and still possess the public confidence, after the lapse of sufficient time to test their efficacy. The Shoshonees - Vegetable Sugar Coated Pills have won for themselves thie most favorable reputation of any ‘ pill before the public. . Their eflicacy has been fully proved as a remedy for billiousness, sick headache and inactivities of the stomach. - Price of the: Remedy in pint bottles, $1; Pills, 25 cénts a box. : : :

Bright Prospects in the West. [L.aPorte Herald,] ‘ Amid the gloom of financial depression a bright future seems to.be opening up for the great cities of the West, Chicago and St. Louis. The hard times have stimulated during the past year an enormous emigration to the West which is fast increasing. Its influence will soon be felt in the quickened development of the vasst territory tributary to those eities. The deelining trade of Eastern cities’ is turning the eyes of their great merchants and capitalists toward those two great commercial centres of the West, whose future seems so boundless. The effect of this is already becoming very apparent. | e

f + Ingalls on Gold. - : Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, in speaking of Shylock’s gold, said: “No enduring fabric of national . prosperity can be builded in gold. Gold is the money of monarchs; Kkings covet if; the exchanges of ndtions are effected by it. Its tendency is to accumulate in vast masses in the commereial centres, and to move from kingdom to kingdom in such volumes as to unsettle values and disturb the finance of the world. It is the instrument of gamblers and speculators, and the idolof the miser and the thief. Being the object of'so much adoration, 1t becomes haughty and sensitive and shrinks at the approach of danger, and whenever it ismost needed it always disappears. At the slightest alarm it begins to look for a refuge. It flies from the nation at war to the nation at peace. War makes it a fugitive. No people in a great emergency ever found a faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals. It makes no treaty that it does not break. 1t has no friend that it does not soon- | er or later betray. Armies and navies are not maintained by gold. In times of panic and caiamn% ghipwreck and ‘disaster, it becomes the chief agent and minister of ruin. No nation ever fought a great war by the aid of gold. On the contrary,in theé crisis of greatest peril it becomes an enemy more potent:than the foe in the field. But when the battle is won and peace has been secured, gold reappears and claims the fruits of victory. In our own civil war it is doubtful if the gold of New York and London did not work greater injury than the powder and lead and iron of the rebels. It | was ths most invineible enemy of the public eredit. Gold paid no soldier or sailor, Itrefused the national obligations. It was worth most when our fortunes were. lowest. Every defeat gave it increased value. It was’in open alliance with our enemies the world over, and itsenergies were evoked for our destruction. But as usual, when danger has been everted and the victory secured, gold swaggles to the front and-asserts the supremacy.”

Alexander Hamilton Stephens.

(Washington Tetter to the New York Ervpress.)

* A white secretary, a black servant, and a pair of crutches form Mr. Stephens’. entire. family. He was never married, and I believe has few or no relatives. On account of.his infirm condition he is never seen in the din-ing-room. He takes his meals in his room. He eats very sparingly, and is an epicure in his tastes. Ile hatesthe sight of pork, and he was once knnwn to fire the plate at the waiter’s head who had brought him sausage-cake for breakfast. * But his wrath was over in a minute, for he soon laughed at the folly of his quick temper, and handéd the astonished darky a gift. Yet it is somewhat strange that, notwithstanding Mr, Stephens’ natural aversion to pork in-apy-shape—for it is said he can hardly look at a hog in the street without having a touch of convulsions — notwithstanding - this: aversion, he is passionately fond of coon, and he employs two darkies constantly on the Virginia side of the Potomac capturing young - raccoons for him. It tests Mr. Stephens’ full strengih to stand alone on his crutcehes. Ile appears to be all dead but the eyes, which are large and radiant, with wonderful depth and serenity. One leg is shorter than the other, and it is raised by a high heel on his shoe. Always dwarfish in size, there is now nothing left of him but the bones—the mere skeleton. lle wears an old beaver hat, and clothes that are not exactly shabby. There is no shape to his garments, for they look as if they were thrown on a broom handle. One shrinks from his face at fivst sight as’ from a dead person. But the quiver i 3 but momentary, for the eyes speak, and you feel that a living curiosity is somewhere near. £

Coal Ashes and Curculio.

I have for several years saved my plums from the ravages of the curculio by the use of coal ashes. They become 8o completely disgusted with it that they leave for other parts. Just sc soon as the blossoms fall I commence with my ashes. I take a buck- - etful of the ashes under my arm, and with the other hand I dash the ashes all over and through the trees, covering the plums completely with ashes, and go round every few days and give them another dose. If the rain washes off, I renew the dose and keep at it till my plums are ripe, when lam well paid for my trouble. [ had, last year, eight bushels on seven small trees, which I sold for thirty-two. dollars. I have several trees oi the Reine Claude variety upon which I did not use the ashes, because the plums were scattering. I thought it would not pay, but there was one limb of one of those trees that was close to those 1 put the ashes on; it got its share of the ashes, and that limb ripened up all of its plums, but not a plumn was there left on the other part of the tree or on any of the other trees of that variety. This wag conclusive evidence to me that it was the ashes that saved my plums. When I first commenced the ashes, my brother told me that I wo’d not succeed, that he miade sure of saving his plums by placing a sheet under his trees and shaking the little Turks off of his trees, and catching them on the sheet and killing them. But when plums were ripe 1 had plenty and he had none.~Corresp. of Ohio Farmer.

Cure for Hog Choléra.

~ Mr. David Graham, one of the oldlest settlers in this vicinity, states that crude petroleum is a dead shot for hog cholera. He has made a practical test of this remedy upon his own hogs and also upon the herd of John Byers, near Langworthy, a year or two ago. - Mr. Byers had lost at the rate of ten or a dozen a day, but not one died after the petroleum was administered. This fact is remarkable, to say the least.— The petrolenm was given in doses of two or three spoonsful for pigs, and half a pint to hogs a year old. Seventy hogs were cured with two- gallons. Mr. Graham says he has also used thjs remedy on cattle and horses and inyatiably with the most gratifying results. If other parties test Mr. Graham’s specific, we would be glad to hear from them as-to results.—A4namosa, lowa, Bureka. . . .-\ -5 = =

It has taken the State Superintendent of our public schools ‘half of his time and puzzled the wits of our Attorney General to harmonize the conflicting statutes, and’'even now, ‘no.one seems to have any: confidence that such decisions are correct.

- Cure for Drunkenness. ~ [Minneapolis Doctor in New York Sun.)

- Let the inebriate (it matters not whether he is just getting off, is beginning it, or on a spree) begin by tak--ling every two hours a drachm (teaspoonful) or' tincturé of <¢inchona (Peruvian bark). This will make him feel good. He can increase the dose’ to six drachms (teaspoonfuls) without ‘danger, and take it in that proportion four to ten times a day.. It will not destroy his appetite for food. In the course of a few days anti-periodic pro£erties of the cinchona begin to tell and he loses all taste, not only for the tincture, but also everything in the way of alcohol. Recently in this city ‘& welt known gentleman who has in time past been on his $5OO and $l,OOO sprees, tried this remedy, telling the 'various druggists where he drank that he was fighting and would conquer the greatest demon on earth; but they could hardly believe him. Yet he conquered, and the appetite for drink 'vanished. He was never nervous, never lost his appetite or sleep during thie siege, and came out of the ordeal in perfect health. But the tincture of cinchona did the business.’ This case can be verified by the proprietors of seven of our drug stores. So well am 1 satisfied of the value of. this ‘treatment that T will guarantee a_cure in all cases using this remedy. -~ &

The Term Porte.

The term “Porte,” which is used to .denote the Administrative Government.of the Ottoman Empire, and in‘cludes the Sultan, the Grand Vizier, and, also, the great council of State had 'its origin in this way: In the famous institutes established by the warrior Sultan Mahomed IL, the ‘Turkish - body-politic, was desecribed by the metaphor of a stately tent, whose dome rested upon four pillars, *The Vizier formed the first pillar, the Judges the second, the Treastrers - the third, and the Secretaries the fourth.” The chief seat of !government was figurative and named “The Lofty Gate of the Royal Tent,” in allusion to the practice of earlier times when the Ottoman rulers sat at the tent door to administer justice. The Italian ‘translation of this name was “La - Porto Sublima.”. This phrase was modified in English to the “Sublime Porto,” and finally the adjective has been dropped, leaving it simply “The Porte.” 4 : t

Chinese Wheat Fields.

~Many readers will be surprised at the following assertions in the N. Y. Bulletin in regard to wheat fields in China: 3 i

- “Some of the Chinamen who have been forced to return to their native f country, learned while here to prefer ‘wheat to rice as the staple article of food, and have for some time paidconsiderable attention to its cultivation. It is now said. that their home production is increasing so rapidly, that there!will soon be a surplus for export. So eareful and close is Chi- . nese agriculture that the wheat never yields less than forty bushels to the acre, and 25 cents a bushel pays well. . | Some authorities have figured out that China has ten times the available area . for wheat culture that the Pacific States possess, and that labor costs but a quarter as much. Some, but probably groundless, fears have been expressed that China may become the formidable competitor of California.”
