. ; N . [y . Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. 'PAIN in the right side, under the I.edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in theleft side; the patient is rarely able .to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt ander 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 sen. sation of having left undone somes thing which ought to have been done. Avsﬁght, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily staljtltd, 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, hg distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, biit cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of/’the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.

The Platform of the Ohio Democraey.

- The following is the platform adopted by the Ohio Democracy, at their recent Staté Convention: L Resolved, That the Democracy of Ohio demand free and fair elections, and to that end denounce all interference with elections by the military power; that the experience of this aud other countries has avundantly proved tliat the presence of troops at the poils is destructive to freedom of elections, and is incompatitle with the existence of free institutions; that the laws enacted by Congress, winich, under the pretense of regulating the mauuner of Congressional elections, interfere with tue election of State officers, and overthrow the laws of the States governing the choice of such oflicers, are unconst:tutional, and for that reason ought to be repealed; that they are also instrumentalities o 1 fraud, force and corruption, by which the party in power uses the money of the people to corrupt, and thousands of irrespunsible officers to harass and coerce, the voters, and, especially by force and fraud, to deprive our naturalized citizens of the right to vote, and for these reasons, also, said laws ought to be ‘immediately repealed. = i ' Resolved, That impartial juries are essential to the administration cf justice, and thereby to the preservation of hberty; that no man can be secure in his person or property when the juries are packed and controiled by the Government police and for partisan purposes; that, under the Federal Jury laws now in existence, juries may be and have been so packed and controlled, and that the highestdnterests! of justice and free government require that these laws be changed, so as to secure fair, impartial and independent juries in the Federal Courts. - 4 R

Resolved, That the Republican minority in Congress, by refusing to vote supplies to maintain the Government unless the majority would agree to the use of troops at the polls, and also to the maintenance of the uuconstitutional, corrupting, violent and unjust Election*laws aforesaid, and the President of the United States, by his unprecedented use of .the veto power, in order to perpetuate said laws, and the use of armed wmen at the polls, have shown a spirit of faction and a devotion to party success instead of the welfare of the country and the preservation of its Constitution and liberties, that demand the i:ondemnat.ion of the whole American eople. . . P Resolved, That President Hayes, by his frequent interposition of thesveto, in order to defeat legislation that was plainly constitutional, that in no way intertered with the independence of ancther department of the Government, and had received the most mature consideration of Congress, hasshown utter disregard of the considerations and principles that induced the insertion of the veto power in the Constitution, and a like disregard of the wishes and welfare of the people. Lesolved, That we declare it as the sense of the Democracy of Ohio that not a dollar should ve appl‘ogriated by Congress to pay soldiers, Marshals, Deputy-Marshals, ;or Supervisors of Electiom, to interfere with or control elections. e i

Resolved, That the effortsof the Republican party to open and Keep alive the war feeling vetween the North and South-are to be condemned by every lover of his country. . Resolved; That we reaffirm the financial principles heretofore advocated by the Democratic ‘party of Obio; that the issus of money in auy form, and the regulation thereof, belong to the General Goverument alone, and ought” not to be delegated or intrusted to individuals or corporations; that we, therefore, oppose the perpetuation of the present National banking system as a means of control over the currency oOf the country, and.demand the gradual substitution ot Treasury notes for National hank currency, to be made receivable for all dues, and a legal-tender equally with coin, such Government issues to-be regulated upon principles established by legislation or organic law, so aslto secure the greatest possibie stability of value.

fLlecolved, That, after changing the valuation of all property from theé scale of paper money by which the heavy burden of debts now resting upon the people were created, to the former level of gold - and silver, the change thed made in the metalic ‘standard itself by the demonetization of silver was a monstrous fraud upon the people, cunningly devised in the interest ot the holders of bonds, that should be condemned as in violation of egery principle of honest dealings, and a covelt assault upon the fundamental rights of property, and we therefore demands the full restaration of silver to -its original .place as a metal, the same as gold. ; * Resolved, That the rapid increase of the in-terest-hearing debt of the Government under the present Administration ought to excite the serious apprehension of the people. We demaud that the further increase in the bonded debt in time of tpeace be stopped, and.it be putin procees of extinction. £ - Resolved, That the attack made upon the State Legislature in the Republican platform is wholly undeserved, and that the Legislature, in its arduous work of codifvingthe laws | of the State, and in the reduction of the fees and salaries of county officers, and the passage ' of alaw to protect the ballot and prevent bribery at elections, deserves the commendation or the people of the State. | Jtesolved,” That it is the duty of our Government to maintain to its fullest extent the doctrine that a man may, in good faith, change his habitation and become a citizen of any other country. We should protect, in every part of the world, all our naturalized citizens, as we would our native-born, and should resist all improper claims upon them by Governments.to which they no longer owe allegiance. We demand that existing treaties with all foreign Governments be rigidly enforced, and that earlﬁsteps be taken to obtain from the German Empire the fullest recognition of the right of expatriation, of the rights of our naturalized citizens returning or having property there, by a modification of the treaty existing betweéen us. . : :

- 'Will the Grant Duck Swim? ' The third-term bummers and boomers are endeavoring to create the impression that a great deal of private persuasion and public pressure will be required to obtain Grant’s consent to his own nomination. He is represeuted by these journalistic romancers as a sort of second Cincinnatus, who prefers the peaceful pleasures of hnmrble station to the glories and responsibilities of high office; but who, if a bleeding and dying country demands his saving services, will yield gracefully yet reluctantly, and sacrifice personal inclination upon the altar of patriotic duty. . Mr. George W. ChiFds_. of Philadelphia, who is the cusiodian of Grant's boxes and horses, and who speaks ¢‘‘by authority” as his nearest and dearest friend, has dately been interviewed and states that ‘he is sure, quite .sure, the General eref.ers not to be a eandidate.”” But r. Childs is equally sure: that if 'the candidature ‘is aectually forced upon him by the unanimous voice of the Republican party, ¢ the General” will not eommit suicide ' in -order ‘to escapeit, = T o

All of which reminds us- of the fo&moua question discussed in rural debating societies: “*Will a‘' Duck Swim?” If there are any Republicans who cannot sleep. of nights for fear Grant will say "‘géﬁ.”‘if asked to say “Yes,” we beg them to calm their perturbed sgirits. In the words of the old hymn, slightly altered: : _** Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; st e olondsgesomuch dread ;| Are big with buncombe, and will break * Jln bummers on your heaa,” i

Grant will not only ¢ ¢onsent to the use of his name,”” but he will see that nobody else’s name overshadows his, if he can prevent it. His alleged antipathy to a third term is the most transparent. humbug, He wus intriguing for a third term long. before his second

expired. His Kitchen organ in Washington and the whisky-ring tooters everywhere worked to the last moment to secure the nomination in . 1876. Neither he, nor anyone else authorized to speak for him, ever declined it; and it js a notorious fact that he was disappointed at the failure, of the movement which, at one time, promiseq to be successful. All his proceedin% since the inauguration of Ht:iyes have been with a view to the Presidential situation in 1880. He has been ¢in the hands of his friends’’ from ' the day he left the White House, and they have carefully groomed him for the approaching rdce. ‘According to the original programme, he was to have returned six months ago. He remained away to prevent a premature bursting of ¢ the boom.” He was to have used the United States ship Richmond for the trip to India and China. After the arrangement was made, he declined conveyance at Governmernt expense in order to disarm Democratic criticism. His ori%gal. point of arrival was to have been Philadelphia. It has been changed to San Francisco to catch the Pacific Coast vote, and give opportunity for. *‘a transcontinental ovation.” In short, the so-called ¢‘spontaneous demand for Grant and a third term’ is a skillfully and -admirably ¢ put-up job,” with which the Republican masses have had nothing to do. The men who have been and are most active in it represent the worst elements of the partg; the elements which made the eight years from 1869 to 1877 the most scandalous and corrupt period in the history of American politics. And these bummers and boomers have been and are in constant communication with Grant. He understands their ganfe, is working in harmony with it, and will be prepared to pocket the proceeds in the shape of the Republican nomination as soon as it is within his reach.— St. Louis Republican. o

. Yeto Number Three. It is a partisan anxious to secure the approval of the minority in Congress and the plaudits of the Republican press, not a conscientious Chief Magistrate of the Republic,who speaks in the niessage, transmitted to the House of Representatives yesterday, disapproving the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill as passed by Congress. As with the two preceding vetoes, the. Executive does not candidly discuss the provisions which he affects to find objectionable; bhe does not take a calm, judicial position, and view the question on all sides; but at the gutset takes a stand of partisan antagonism, and rehashes the Eartisan arguments in justification of is exercise of the veto power. Mr. Hayes is kind enough to repeat a gracious Temark contained in the veto of the Army bill, that if Congress simply made appropriations for Legislative, Executive and Judicial pure‘(r)ses, he would be pleased to assent. hat especial comfort there is in this twice-repeated hint, it is impossible to say, unless it is meant to indicate that the Executive regards himself as selfabnegating to a marked deégree in not objecting to the right of on%ress to pass any Appropriation bill w atev%r without having first received a draft of it from the Executive Department. Aside from an intimation that the Executive purposes to teach Congress the manner and method' of its legislation, as well as concern himself with the matter—a morecolossal and impertinent stretch of the veto power than was ever before attempted, and for which there is no justification in the theory or practice of the Government —the only portion of the bill with which faultis foundis that which is designed to restrict the Federal Supervisors of Election tQ the exercise of proper functions, and to do away with the imposition upon the people involved in the maintenance of a horde of Republican political workers on election day, u}rlldler the thin disguise of Deputy-Mar-shals. o

Hayes labors diligently to make it appear thut the laws as they stand at present were necessary and have given satisfaction, but he only succeeds in' showing the difficulty of the work he has undertaken. He attempts, by likening elections for Representatives to those for Senators, to show that Federal supervision, with Marshals to back it and enforce it, is eminently proper; but he could not have made a more unfortunate illustration. It would be quite as competent for Congress to send Deputy-Supervisors and DeputyMarshals into the halls of State Legislatures to institute a system of supervision over the elections of Senators, a 8 it is to'send them to the polls to supervise the popular voice; but there is no ¢‘Stalwart” sufficiently bold to suggest that such supervision be attempted, though some Republican LegisYatures have beeén the scene of greater frauds in the election of Senators than was ever witnessed in an election for Representative.

'Mr. Hayes is throughout the advocate, not the Judge. He quotes: from Congressional reports, and stops when it is convenient to suit himself. He speaks of the concurrence of testimony ‘that the election in New York City, in 1876, under Federal supervision was a fair one, but he fails to say that the ‘election in 1878, in that city, also under Federal supervision, was productive of most infamious dutrages upon ‘the rights of free votes and citizens, ‘under color of the laws which he so zealously defends. The evidence inthe trial of Johnny Davenport willgive him all the facts he needs on this point, and they would be quite as much in place in an Executive document as quotations from speeches in Congress and from reports made to Congress. He quotes from a partisan Republican report concerning the election in New York in 1868, and accepts as facts statements which have never been authenticated, and which, in larﬁe part, have been always denied. e shouts ¢fraud, fraud,” over the New York vote of 1868, but has not much to say concerning the greater frauds perpetrated in the Republican Cit¥ of Philadelphia, which, by the way, Federal supervision has in no de%‘ee checked, for the reason that the Deputy Marshals who ~su¥gorhed the Supervisors were largely rawn from the gang of repeaters and ballot-box stuffers who take it upon

themselves to swell the Republican majority in Philadelphia. : Mr. Hayes prates about :‘“‘free and fair elections,” yet he puts himself in the way to prevent legislation to secure ‘this freedom and fairness. -He wants Johnny Davenports to protect the people in large cities against themselves and to, issue warrants for the arrest of thousands of persons politically opposed to the party to which the Davenports are attached, but whose right to vote i just as perfect as that of the citizen of Fremont who is temporarily residing in Washington. | The kind of freedom and fairness which Hayes and the Republican party want is that which will make the people pay: the expenses of Republican political workers and clothe Republican officials with authority to overawe and-intimidate the citizens. The kind of freedom the Democrats want is that which will insure a pure ballot-hox, and a free, untrammeled expression of the popular will.— Detroit Free Press. '

- Tekel Upharsin Chandler. The precise form and proportion of the Stalwart in politics may be seen to the best advantage in the speech of Senator Chandler, at whom President Hayes must- have laughed| as heartily in the White House as the Senators did. in the Chamber. Chandler represents all the real stuff there is in that branch of the Republican party to day, Blaine being but vapor in comparison, and any one can see what poor kind of stuff it is. "In his constrained effort to express his solicitude for the fate of the Democratic party, Mr. Chandler lets out his much greater anxiety for the fate of his own. He leans for a moment on history, having heard'it said somewhere that it is apt to répeat itself, and he leans so heavily that his familiar allusion breaks down with his weight, and lets him come to the i;rouxid. - State rights are his particuar abomination. They were the abomination of Mr. Boutwell at one time. That great Republican statesman used to clamor for the total erasure of State lines, in the hope of getting rid of the rights and the lines together. But the rights-are what happen to maintain the lines, and always will while the rights last. In point of fact, State lines are the outward and visible sign of State rights. Boutwell, in his piddling' way, struck at the lines, as if they ecarried the rights with them instead of being merely the sign of the rights; Chandler strikes straight at the rights, well knowinfir that as soon as they are wiped out the lines will be of no significance. There is just the difference between the determined man, who knows what he wants, and the feeble quibbler, who confounds the form with the fact and does not know which is vital. S Chandler’s remarks were a mere pudding of slang, stirred together in menaces, warnings, party figures and sheer blackguardism. It isa man who is capable of making such a speech in the United States Senate that President Hayes himself took oﬂicﬁal pains to return to that body. Christiancy was sent to Peru and Chandler was summoned to Washington. If that is the temper and style of politics which the Republican leaders are desirous of Wringing upon the. country, they will show it by following the Michigan Senator on the road he has taken.. There isnothing in whatsuch a public man says that can be treated with consideration: He states nothing and proposes nothing. He does not address himself to anything that is definitely known to be pending. He discusses no measure, offers no criticism, takes no position, contributes no thought. His speech does not even rise to the low level of a harangue. It is a continued jeer, the jeer of the public jockey, with his hat metaphorically over his eyes and his hands bagged up in his trousers’ pockets. The language is the language of the political loafer. Before the advent of Grantism as the embodiment of the Republican party, it was never heard or dreamed of in the Senate. 1t is not rebuked unti}ha Democratic Senator rebukes it. The Edmundses and Conklings listen and do not so much as express their contempt. Yet Chandler sets up the assumption that it dooms the Democratic party to dare to touch the Republican legislation of war times in these later days of peace. A fine waiter around the party altar he, to cry up the sanctity of what men of his stamp havelaid upon it! But tragedy is usually succeeded by farce for the sake of relief, and, as a relief from the tragical memories of the war, Chandler is a farce, to be underlined a regular screamer.—Boslon Post. -

. The Planets in June. THE g}gnet&ryvrecord of this month will be diversified by an event of extraordinary interest. A remarkably close conjunction between Mars and guturn will take gla.co on the last day of the month. The two planets, attheir nearest approach, will only be seﬁarate‘d b one minute of an arc, or the sixtiei,g part of a degree—an intervening space 80 sm'%ll that to the unassisted zye Mars will seem to pass directly over the more distant Saturn. Indeed, it is not improbable that an occultation will really- ‘occur, instead of a close conjunction. If this prove to be the case, the astronomers of the present century will have an almost unique phenomenon to place upon their apnals. We believe there is butone well-authenticated accurrence of the kind on astronomical records, and that is an ocecultation of Jupiter by Mars on the 9th of January, 1591. A clos¢ conjunction between Mars and Saturn is also a rarity, the last one occurring on the 18th of April, 1817. Unfortunately for American star-gazers, the phase of closest conjunction in this lon%ritude will take place at about two o’clock in the afternoon, an unfavorable time for making observations on the stars. Mars and’ Saturn will, however, be worth looki after, though the best part of the p]ig is over. They will rise on the 80th of the month, not; long after midnight, nearly at the same time, and of course not very far apart. Special notice should be direeted to a comparison of the color of the two planets. - Saturn is usually of a dull leaden color, but when near Mars he takes on a delicate green, the ruddy blaze of Mars producing this effect on what is called the principle of complimentary colors. Jupiter is now a superb morning star, beaming brightly above the eastern horizon soon after midnight, reigning alone in the morning sky for an hour, and then followed by his brother planets Mars and Saturn at a respectful distance. i Venus still fills her role as transcendent evening star. She shows; her brilliant face high in the sky soon after the sun has gone down, and lovers of the stars never weary of admiring her soft light as she first appears, = golden point in the glow of twilight, or, later in the evening, reigns supreme among the glittering hosts that stud the sky. She_has nearly reached her greatest distangedfrom the sun, and will soon commence to retrace her steps. Mercury will join the evening stars after the 18th, when he comes into superior conjunction with the sun, passing to the eastern side. Heis of no account this month, his concition being unfavorable for.observation.

Uranus is evening star_still, faintly shining in the vicinity of Regulus, and on the last of the: month not very far away from Venus. This planet is in a good situation for telescopic observation, and those who have once had a view of his dise, with its delicate green tint, will long remember the unique aspect.— Providence (R. 1.) Journal. —_——— The ¢ Hawk-Eye’’ Man on Burlington. - THE streets of this city are macadamized. It is done on the glacial period system; every rockon the street weighs a ton. ' Perhaps that assertion is a little too sweeping. All the rocks used in macadamizing the streets do not weigh a ton apiece. There are, of course, some exceptions. : They weigh two tons apiece. There is a great deal of wealth in this city, especially in the more aristocratic circles. A man was pointed dbut to me yesterday, who, I was told, came to Burlington twenty-three years ago, and was so poor that te ate pie with a knife and wiped his btow with his cuff. He drove an express wagon, and would break all the furniture you had in the house for fifty cents a load. Now he has two dogs and five children, and his wife has all her dresses made over here in Sagetown. And the man himself has grown to be- so nice that he eats soup with a two-tined fork. There are as many as seven reading clubs in the- city, the members -of which are learning -to read with commendable rapidity, and some of them have already got as far as *‘lsit a.big dog? 1t is abig dog. Itis Ann’sdog. Will Ann bite the dog? No, Ann will not bite the dog. Ann loves her pets.” The Government of Burlington is an unlimited despotism. The Mayor never goes abroad unless attended by a bodyguard of armed retainers, and if a citizen calls the Mayor *¢ Mister’’ hLe dies at sunrise. The Mayor is assisted in the City Government by the Council, the powers of which are as despotic and unlimited as his own. ~ The. Mayor can do anything he pleases with anybody but the Council, and the Council can do anything it pleases with anybody exceptthe Mayor. - It is death for a. boy to *‘sass’ a Councilman. e

The Chief of Police rides around in a carriage drawn by four white horses, and a brass band accompanies him. everywhere. 'When he arrests a burglar it is some time before the burglar can exactly understand whether he is just being taken to the calaboose or has been elected President. He soon finds out, however, when he gets into the City Prison. This gloomy dunFeon used to be a cistern, but it got to leaking badly, so they just hailed down the ‘top, put a trap-door in it and turned it ‘into a prison. It is located right under the city offices, and this makes it very pleasant for the officials. When the prisoners have nothing else to do, they wail and howl and call the Auditor names just when he is half-way down a column of figures. And one day the Treasurer Wwas counting out some money to a citizen with a. hat full of scrip, and the prisoners suddenly pounded on the floor right under the g‘reaam;er’s, feet, and he %umped clear ‘gver the railing. This is the most terrifying thing that the prisoners can do, and there isn’t a particle of exaggeration in that statement. ng. not many ‘hundred years ago an Auditor was sittmf in that very office, when all of a gudden there came a fearful pounding, and it scared him 8o that he jumped clear over the ? Mississippi River, and landed so far in Illinois that he didn’t get back for six weeks. : In conclusion, from what I have seen of the town and its people, I rather

like it. I have concluded to cancel all outstanding engagements and stay here a while, at any rate. There is no place in the city e?lual to South Hill for comfort, and ' I have found & place out on righth street where the people tell me that my personal beauty and the instinctive’ grace of my conversation will be considered an equivalent for my board.
