‘45 Years Before the Public. ;l";"E CENUINE DR. C. McLANE’S : | CELEBRATED . LIVER PILLS, ' FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the 4 edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is'in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimés the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken . for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative ‘with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is _generally a considerable loss of mem. ory, accompanied with a painful sensation ‘of having left undone some. thing which ought to have been done, Asslight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases ' have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

AGUE AND FEVER. Dr..C. McLANE’S LIvER PILLS, IN CASES OF AGUE AND "FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

THE VIEWS OF A PATRIOT. Judge David Davis, Senator from Illinois, Upon the Army Appropriation Bill -The Opinion of a Patriot Who Deplores Parisanship, and Gives in His Adhesion to the Political Amendments—An Unanswerable Argument.

Mgz. PresIDENT: The caucus is an important factor in American politics and both the reat parties of the country employ its agency. %‘hls is done on the theory tuat psrt.g aciion is most easiiy perfected by this method. Ido not complam of the mode adopted to reach results, but as T have been for many years | viewing puolic affairs from an independent standpo.nt, it does not help me to decide any uestion that may come before thue Senate. -inhough usually preferring to give a silent vote, I cannot suffer this measure to be passed on without say:ng some.h ng on the subject. The heat that bas been muniiested on the occacion of this debate has surpriscd me, if anything can surprise me in politics. A stranger unaccustomed to our mode of debate would suppose that the Union was in danger, and that the old questions, passions, prejud ces and purjoses, which it had been thvuzht were laid aside forever, were again revived, and this, too, fourteen years aiter the rebellion was conquered, and when there is no complaint from any quarter that the Federal compact presses too hard upon one section at the expense of another, and when the Federal Goviernment 18 obeyed throughout the entire South. There does not seem to be the least ground for the excitement and bitterness that have characterized the discussion in Congress at this session, and I should be amazed were it not that the record of all parties proves that majorities invariably commit legislative wron:=B and minorities 'invariably protest against them. ] : 1i it be true, as charged, that the success of one of the great parties of the country means revolution and ruin to Constitutional liberty, of what value would be the securities _of the Government, or, indeed, any other species of property? In the nature of things, if a revolution was impending or there was any danger apprehended to free' government or popular liberty, the Government would not be able to sell bonds at 4 \})er cent. Interest, nor the stock market in New! York maintain its present high rate. - This charge, Mr. President, is mere fiction, and has no fuundation to rest on, but it prodwces infinite mischief and tends ,to demoral:ze the country and every material interest in it, alarms the thoughtless and timid, unsettiés business and values, and- produces a state of unrest in every community.- It may succeed in winning elections, but it cannot restore prosperity. That great object can never be saccomplished through a continuance of sectional strife and the violence that accompanies it, nor do I believe the people are in & mood ior this knd of polities. They bave had more than three years of harsh experience, and they want to find some mode of relief from their present suffering and impoverished condition, and they will honor the statesman who contributes to the stock of knowledge on this subject, rather than the political leader who - will not let the past alone. I have no personal concern, Mr. President, in the rize aund fall of parties, but I am deeply “soiicitous that the affairs ot Government shall ' be so administered that labor seeking ¢cmploy- ' ment can obtain it; that all industrial purswits will be suitably rewarded, and encouragement given to the people, North and South, to work out of their present embarrassments. We are one people. og the same blood and with the same destiny, and unity of feeling is essential to lift us out of the mire, and to help us on the road to prosperity. The different parts of our common country are so intimateiy con‘nected in trade and eommerce that, as a general rule, whatever injuriously affects one part has a corresponding effect upon the other, and whatever benefits the one benefits the other. It is, Mr. President, in my judgment, the imperative duty of the hour, instead of turning the attention of the people back into history, with its animosities, to direct it to the troubled business interests of the country, and the way to relicve them. W.ith the past buried, and discussions on living issues, the people would soon regain confidence, which is _es:ential in any plan for relieving the present . hard times. It may be that such a course would affect the fortunes of parties, for both partiesiin Congress on any questioo of practical iezislation fall to pieces, but it would bave the most beneficial effect upon the fortunes of the country. Without intending to reflect upon the patriotism of either pa ty, it does appear to'me that the speeches on the pending bill do not represent the wishes or opinions of the masses ot the %epple of either section. Experience has taught them that legitimate ‘business principles, which lead to wealth and social happiness, require a cessation from agitation on' past subjects, and that sound policy dictates the cultivation of peace and good will betweew the sections. The country, Mr. "President, cannot be 'prosperous so :lonpir] as the conflict’ bevween the North and South is used at each recurring Presidential election as an inst.rumentalit{l of party success, and the statesman who shall rise equal to the occasion and put it at rest will receive.the gratitude of a suffering Yeople. : The bill before us is for. thsiufport of the army for the ensuing fiscal year. Itisattacked because the sixth section alters two provisions of the Revised Statutes. S?tion 2002 of these statutes reads as follows: #* No military - or naval officer or other person eng:ﬁed in the civil, military or ‘naval seévice of the United States shall order, bring, keep or have under his authority or control any troops or armed men at the place where any general or special election is held in any State, unless it be necessary to repel the armed enemies of the »Ux:iiteg States or to keep the peace at the polls. - : b | And Seec. 5528 is in these words: fu Every officer of the army and navy, or other person in the civil, military or naval service of the .United Staﬁs, who orders, brings, keeps or hag under his authority or.control any troops or-armed men at any place where a general or sgecm election is held in any State, unless such foree be necessary: to repel armed enemies of the United States or keep the peaceat the polls, shall qu:ned not more than $5,000 and suffer imprisonment at hard labor not less than three months nor more than five years.” These sections, although widely separated in the Revised étatuh_es. aré parts ,OF a general law, passed on the 25th of g‘aébruary, fs&’y to prevent officers of the army and navy and other persons engaged in tiyxe gervice from interfering in elections in the States. (18 Statutes at Large, p. 437.) The first section denounced the use of troops at elections, except in two specified cases, and the second section gr'ovlded the penalties for disobedience. The two excepted cases are when the troops were necessary to repel the armed enemies of the United States, or to keep the peace at the polls.. The sixth section of the Appropriation bill proposes to strike from both sections the words ‘“ or tokeep the peace at the polls,”” and nothing more, so that the army. cannot be used hereafter at elections for any purpose. As an abstract proposition, can there be any National objection tothis? Ought the army to be used at the golls when there has been profound peace for more thana deesdd#ﬂm a;ayonie b;lit%ve mt*sﬁ;lh law would ever have receive e approval of the Aﬁ%wﬁut had be ol Mg g?i‘o'} ward in a time of peace? It was passed when axmﬂme'.ﬂﬂgﬂmr Was in progress: ta to the utmost the resources of the eountry, In the opinion of the patriots of that day the stat;e(ofjgeef],.n in certain parts. of the country was of M &ﬁ&n&ctﬁr a 8 to endanger peaceful elect.ons while the war lasted unless a mlitary force was kept in: readiness for any outhreak o{ﬁpnlar q’pmmot!qxi. This was the conviction that prompted the legislation, but I venture to say no one. of the eminent men j Whoismatfritinrﬁ:nded or expected that it would remain a part of the permanent law of the land, - They wemtéag ﬁéﬁb%g%&hs—i2S vl Pt ' on face to, belleve: that a free people wonldvt«ommﬂp&mxﬁ:f«mﬁﬁﬂeﬂ like a war: ed for the maintenamce of the Union, . the %wrfgtenee “of . the ‘military in civic concerns.” And theé ‘were'men’ of_,;pﬂ?. ciple and did not wish it.fo_be otherwise.

. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. ‘ But, Mr, President, this, consent will never be attained until they have forgotten the principles of Constitutional libertv, and the precedents set by the Commons of England. These Precedent.s I refrain from referring to at ength, but the preamble to an act passed in the time of George 11. (1735), forbidding the presence of troo?s at elections, is 80 appropriate that I beg leave to read it; | Whereas, By the ancient common law of this land all elections ought to be free; and, W hereas, %v an act passed in the third year of the reign of King Edward 1., of famous memory, itis commanded, upon great forfeiture, that no man,. bmrcq of arms nor by malice or menacing, shall disturb any to make free election and for as much as the freedom of elections of members to serve in Parliament is of the utmost oonaegmeqoe to the ation_of the rights and liberties of this Kg:'ﬂe:;u and. : Whereas, It hath been the usage and practice to cause any regiment, troop, company or anei pumber_(zf '%%ldlersh'v;!:ich ha.thhl:)::n %ua.tter in any city, TO Wn or where an electi%n o¥ meml‘)lgrs to serve il? Parliament hatﬁ been appointed to be made to remove and con--tinue out of the same during the time of such election, except in such Bmicular cases a 8 are hereinafter specified. [Pickering’'s Statutes, volnme 16.] . And the history of Parliament contains this | incident: The military lmvingi'l been called in to quell an_ alleged riot at the Westminster election in 1741, it ‘was resolved, on Dec. 22 that ‘‘the presence of a regular body of armed soldiers at an election of members to serve in Parliament is a high infringement on the libertie< ot the subjéct, a manifest violation of the freedom of elections, and an open defiance of the laws and Constitution ot the Kingdom.” The perspns concerned in this, having been ordered to «ttend tne House, received on their knees a very severe rﬁprima-nd from the Speaker. [Y Parliament Hirtory, p. 326 ] Can it be 'possible that a principle of common law, . the right of the 'people: to have an election flee from the prescnee of troops, dear to Englishman one hundred years ago, is n.t equally dear to their descendants at the present day? Mr. President, it will require some one now living to write accurately the history of these times, for the future historian will be slow to.believe that there was any basis on which to rest such an inquiry in the Congress of the United States during the latter part of the nineteenth century, why ‘the law of 1865 should not be altered in the manner propused by this b.dl. 1t is said that Mr. Lin-| coln signed it and the inference is that _il,jt' would reflect on his memory to change it. 01 say tbe least, this is a prettﬁstrong presumption from snch a predicate. No man loved Mr. Lincoln betier, or honors his memory more, than I do, nor had any greater opportunities to learn the constitution of his mind and character and his habits of thought. He was large-hearted, wiser than those associated with him, full of sympathy for struggling humanity, without malice, with charity for erring men, loving liis whole country with a deep devotion aund intensely anxious to save it. Believing as I do thuthe was raised un by Prov-. jdence for the great crisis of the War of the Rebellion, I have equal belief, had he lived, we would have been spared much of the ‘strife of these latter davgz and that we would now be on the high road to prosperity. Such a man, hating all forms of oppression, and deeply imbued with the principle that induced the men of 1776 toresist the Stamp tax, would never have willingly intrusted power to anyone, nnless the war was flagrant, to send troops to oversee an election.

'~ Why, then, I repeat, should not the proposed measures pass? There is no rebellion, nor any threatened, nor any ‘domestic uproar anywhere. The Union is cemented by the biood that was shed in defense of its integrity. Thelaws are obeyed North and South, East and West, and our only real differences relate to the administration of the internal affairs of the Government. By the constitation of the human mind there will of necessity be diverse opinions among the people as to the best way to manage these internal af- | fairs, and Congress meets periodically to legislate for the people and to represent their views on the questions dividing them. But surely these differences, be they great or small, afford no justification for a departure fromany of the principles that underiie republican government. If they do, the charter of gur liberties will soon be frittered away. The charze that this is *‘revolutionarf legislation” has no force. It might be called a partisan device. Congress has power under the Constitution to raise and' equip arm:es and the House of Representatives holds the purse strings. In the pending Army bl nothing is proposed but to strike out a single - clause, forbidding the presence of troops at the polls. In no respect is the authority of the gresidenp to:answer a call to repel invasion or to st}lppress insurrection in any way abridged. The amencdment is germane to the bill, and is simply a condition as to the use of the army, which the I;;er)ple’s representatives have a perfect right to impose. It is not .in any proper sense general legislation, and if it was, the statute-books are full of precedents that the friends of the present measures might cite against their opponents. Whether the clause' in. question ought to be repealed is a fair subject for discussion, but tbe form of lE)resent ng 1t is not liable to just er.t:cism. Personally, I should have greferred to vote on the proposition as an independent bill, beecause the practice of both parties of legislating on Appropriation 'bills is more to be honored in the breach than in the observance, If this 'course had been pursued, it is ?robable the whole debite would have been less acr.monious, and the excitement which followed it could never have been worked up to so high a pitch. It'has been alleged that, there is an attempt to coerce the Executive in this bill. . ‘Certainly none appears on the surface, and he is left entirely free to exercise his own judgment, if'it should be sent to him in the present:or in a modified form. To assume that he will approve or will veto it, or to introduce him in any way into this debate, is a departure from wise usage. The Pres dent’s sphere of action is defined by the Constitu'ion, and any attempt to influence legislation by suegestions of what he ma{; or may not do is an obtrusion deserving rebuke. It will be time enough to 'eriticise the act of the President when he shall have exercised his Constitutional rizht, and any discussion of his supposed course before then is wholly out of place in this body. Let us hoge, Mr. President, when this bill has passed from our hands, that the. angry debate which has attended it will opera‘e as electrieity des in purilyng the atmosphere, and that we will all come together better disposed to give to the country what has been g ven to {)arty, in a united effort to provide relief for he prevailing distress in every pursuit of life.

L The Colored Victim, " l Like the movement recently set on foot in South Carolina to colonizelarge bodies of the black population in Liberia, as opening a better field for their labor and a surer prospect of social elevation, the scheme of emigration from Louisiana, Mississippi and other States to Kansas and the Northwest is destined to failure, because it is against natural laws. The chief sufferer is to be the poor, deluded negro, whose limited intelligence does not permit him to apprehend the difficulties to be con-. fronted in changing his old home for a ruder climate, where to live at all he must compete with a superior class of labor, which is hardy, enterprising, self-reliant, and thrifty—qualities in ‘Which the colored man, unfortunately, is deficient. Outgide the South the negro is hardli known as a farmer, in the sense ‘ that is familiar in the great West, where he is now tempted to go to contend with a young and vigorous population, accustomed to the use of lr:xbor- | saving machinery and to all the im- J Erdved methods of agricultare. He nows how to raise cotton, rice, sugar‘ and tobacco, in the slow ways which descended from his forefathers, and he knows little else. Certainly his knowl‘edge is of the most primitive sort, and by no - means a._dagted to a ,chan?a which must: leave him comparatively helpless and entirely dependent on cold Oharity. : . : | ! ! - However well disposed the people of

Kansas and the Northwest may be, they are in no condition at this time to have thrown upon them thousands of idle blacks who will herd in the cities and towns, and ultimately, for the want of steady employment, become a serious burden on the communities where they may settle down. We see what they are inthe cities of the east, and the forms.of occupation whereby they subsist, At Washington, onethird of the population is colored, drawn there abnormally by the operations of the Ring seven or eight years ago. It is a well-known fact that these blacks will not go into the country for regular farm work, but prefer to eke out a precarious existencein the city. As a necessary consequence crime is largely increased, and the courts are crowczed with prosecutions forlla.rceny, burglary, murder and assaults. !

More than this, the death rate of the colored population at the capital is nearly double that the white, though hospitals and charities for their benetit are liberally provided by Congress. This condition of thixﬁgs exists right under the eyes of Mr. Windom and other philanthropic men who 'have instigated the exodus from the South, as ‘a means of helping the desperate Republican cause, by holding it up as a proof of their'charges of oppression of the aegro. ; i . Since the close of the Civil War the ‘black man has been the victim 6f Republican political manafers.,.,- He was ‘organized by the Freedmen’s Bureau 'as a part of the machine for carrying elections under the Reconstruction acts; and then followed the Freedmen’s Bank, originally started for the best objects, and intended to encourage thrift among a people naturally careless and extravagant, with safeguards 'to protect their savings; but a ring of thieves at Washington seized it an induced a Republican Congress to change the law, so that they might steal the earnings of the freedmen. And now, without preparation or provision of anykind, they are tempted to leave the homes of their childhood and the labor to which they are accustomed, under ‘the persuasion of getting land for nothing, and opportunities to better their condition. Credu.lous and ignorant, former experience in deception counts for nothing with them.¢ Carried away by a sudden impulse and delusion, they do not stop to seek information, or to count the cost of an adventure which is likely to be followed by the most serious consequences for all who have embarked in it. Thousands will suffer from this cruel imposture immediately, and in the end other thousands will become indirect victims of a partisan scheme, disguised as a movementof philanthro-py-—N. Y. Sun. -

A Colorado Snake Story. Two oLD hunters and guides met the other day in Denver, Col., and one of them told the following story in the hearing of a news reporter: ‘‘Jim and I started out in the mountains early one morning after black-tailed deer. We had no luck up 'to noon, and then found ourselves on the side of a precipitous mountain. ' The trail was wide and plain, and we soon came to a spring that had burst out of the solid rock. Here we both stopped to get a drink. I used the cup first and then handed it ‘to Jim. He drank and stepped aside to take a look down the side of the mountain and in the valley. As he stood thus his shoulders reached to a level with a shelf of the rock which projected forward some little distance over the trail. As I rose up from the spring something attracted my attention to this rocky shelf, which wasonly a few inches from Jim’s neck and exactly on a level therewith. To my horror I saw thereon an immense rattlesnake. The; horrible reptile was coiled, his eyes were snapping, his forked tongue protruding and everything ifflicating an immediate spting. Jim stood perfectly stolid and utterly unconscious of the slightest danger. Any motion on his (Fa.rt, even the slightest, I knew would be instantly fatal. What to do I could not think. I dared not call nor shoot. Everything depended upon his remaining perfectly still. After a second’s further reflection 1 dropped softly down so as to be out of sight of the reptile. I then moved toward my unconscious friend. Breathlessly 1 watched him: from fear every second he would make some slight movement of the head or body, and any motion I knew meant death. Soon I was near enougvh to feel that I could get a firm hold. ithout another thought or the slifhtest word or warning I then gra.sped im by the arm and side and brought him heavi(liy down with a crash upon the trail and among the flinty rocks. As I did this I saw what seemed a flash of light dart out from the rocky shelf, which I knew to be the stroke of the reptile. But my friend’s neck was not where the snake had hoped, and Jim was safe.” ¢¢ And what did Jim say when you slung him down in that style?” as{ed_ one of the auditors. '- ¢ He commenced cursing me in the meanest sort of way,’”’ replied the Major, ¢¢till I made him stand up and look at that shelf in the rock. %hen he saw that, and the snake as well, and saw too how near he had been to a ‘horrible death, he turned around and took my hand, but. he .didn’t say anything more, because he couldn’t spe'?&. But then we understood each other.’

LAsT Thursday evenin%, about dark, Mr. and Mrs. George Campbell and Dick Mannon were sittix;g on the porch of the Soda Springs otel, at Soda Springs, on the Sacramento River, while Mr. Campbell’s little boy, aged about three years, was across the road, about fifty or sixty feet distant, amusing himself by cutting bushes with a little hatchet. ‘Those on the porch were startled and horrified by observ« ing a panther spring upon the child, and at the time supposed he was dangerously injured, which would have been the case, no doubt, had not the child screamed and those on the porch shouted excitedly, which prevented the panther from making a deadly spring, as he was evidently watching ‘amf fearing the parties on the porch. Asit was, the panther seized the child by the chin, one of the tusks of the upper jaw cutting his lip, and one ;in the lawer jaw cutting his neck, while the paw of the beast struck and scratched him in the breast. The shouting and rushin toward the child by those on the gorcﬁ caused the panther to make tracks up the mountains si)eedily, and after picking up the child and examining the woumfs inflicted, Mannon returned to the house for his gun, and following the animal up the mountain, soon disPatqhed the panther,—a hungry, leanooking customer, measuring five feet from tfp to tip,—Yreka (Cal.)
