Cau« ii* \eMerduy.
The delegates to the County Convention
met in caucus yesterday to agree, if possible,
upon some programme for to-day which would
likely facilitate action and secure harmony.
Nothing, however, was agreed upon, except
that t!i• ■ hour of assembling is to be u m. The
tui> third rule Iwing t.u itfy agreed upon, the
\ f w . advises the delegates to draw ten days
' .liioiis and take along their blankHs and a
bin of soap apiece About one half the dele-
gates to the convention were present at the

Very frequently the choice of delegates to a
nominating convention decides the fate of the
caudidatew who are to come before it. The
main issue involved in the selection of dele-
gates is. or should bo. the choice of men who
fully realize the importance of the trust con-
fided in them. But candidates work for
their friends, and if successful in secu-
ring their election, retire complacently
under the shadow at least of a certainty. Not-
withstanding the fact that the usual sly figur-
ing and shrewd intermingling of names 011
tickets was observed at the late ward meet-
ing. selections of delegates were made that
have
PIT AT DEFIANCE
the wisest of the arm}* of candidates, with all
their skillful calculations upon their chances
before the convention.
The city yesterday was engrossed with con-
jectures upon the action of the convention to-
day. The question in the mouth of every
voter was: " Who do you think will lie tin*
nominee for Sheriff".-" The whole canvass
seems to turn upon this office, and when the
convention names the man to-day. doubtless
this section of the country will breathe freeer.
Not only is the candidate himself sitting on
the " ragged edge." but factions have formed
around their favorites, and
the probabilities
are discussed with a life and death interest
which may be likened to that which encircled
the famous Brooklyn scandal. A reporter,
while circulating in political quarters yester-
day. came upon a lone. lorn man. sitting 011 a
doorstep of a prominent house, trying to do a
sum. He was informed by one candidate for
Sheriff that he (the candidate) bad sixteen
votes sure on first ballot, another fifteen and a
third fourteen—total, forty-five. How could
forty-five be made to go into twenty-five one
tinier
An intelligent voter held the attention of a
large crowd with a speech, in which he tried
to demonstraje that a new man would l>e
brought out for sheriff, as it would be an utter
impossibility for the convention to agree 011
one of the candidates. But while many reit-
erated his opinion, there is equally as large a
number who have reached the conclusion that
the convention,
LIKE MEN OF BCStNESS,
will set lie the nominations in short order, and
that if the people endured no more uneasiness
than they <lo it would be well for their peace
of mind.
The thirst for office has probably
iiever been more fully developed in
tliis city than during the present can-
vass. A delegate stated yesterday that he
had received fifty notes soliciting his vote and
support. All the delegates have been " buz-
zed " almost to distraction, and one of them
who continued at his business without heed-
ing the applicants for his favor, had a slate
hanging in a convenient place where those
ANXIOCS TO SERVE
their fellow-citizen could write their names. It is
not necessary to state that the slate had to be
changed quite often. Only within the last two
days have the candidates for minor offices
been active canvassing their chances. They
are now thoroughly awakened, and some who
have aimed high at the opening of the contest
will be content l>efore the agony is over to
c#me dow n a j»eg or so. The choice of two
representatives has engaged the attention of
the delegations to agreat extent. Iluringyes-
terday afternoon the discussion of the merits
of different candidates was quite lively. It
seemed generally agreed upon tnat
galveston needs
a wide-awake, energetic and well posted com-
mercial man in the Lower House, many bidd-
ing the opinion that it would not be amiss to
take both representatives from the commer-
cial element.
At 1:1 o'clock to-day the fun opens, and candi-
dates. even if defeated, can bear defeat with
less injury to their tenure of life than by stand-
ing another day the aggravating pressure of
an awful uncertainty.
The business before the convention will be
to nominate candidates for the following
offices: Sheriff, County Judge, District Judge.
County Clerk, District Clerk, Collector. Asses-
sor. Treasurer, Surveyor, Hide Inspector, and
two Representatives for the Legislature.

The delegates from the Third Ward to the
County Convention, who were also charged
with the duty of nominating a Justice of the
Peace and Constable for their precinct met at
the office of Mr. R. S. Willis, 011 Strand, last
evening.
At first the reporter thought he would not
have the privilege of recording the sayings
and doings of the miniature convention,
Mr. R. S. Willis taking the ground that
a representative of the press had no
right to seek admittance, and that the result
could be supplied to him after the meeting
was over: Mr. M. Kopperl and Mr. w. m. Staf-
ford holding that w hile they thought the dele-
gate* had a right to confer before organiza-
tion. if they saw fit, in secrecy, there could be
no objection to the presence of a reporter
during the balloting, and Mr. T. A. Gary and
Mr. Wm. Boyd, taking strong positions in fa-
vor of doing that which the people delegated
them to do openly and without reserve as any
other convention charged with similar duties
would do. Finally the question of reporter or
no reporter becoming further from settlement
as the discussion progressed, and being about
to cast into the background the grave business
to come before the meeting, it was. 011 motion,
decided to organize and proceed to balloting.
Mr. Kopperl was chosen Chairman, and Mr.
M'ni. Boyd Secretary.
The full delegation was present, viz.: R. S.
Willis. M. Kopperl. W. M. Stafford, T. A. tlarv.
Wm. Boyd. N. Walshe.
The two-thirds rule was adopted, and the
following nominations for justice were read
off, after all the names heard, as being before
the meeting were mentioned: B. M. Fleming.
T. D. Allen. H. C. Mayer. K. B. Settle, A. W. An-
drews. N. Lidstone. L. Bering. Bradford Han-
cock.

Supremo Court Dc< l»iou«.
We notice that the Galveston News
is again publishing a synopsis of Su
preme Court decisions. These reports
arc prepared by Messrs. Sayles & Lov-
joy, who have taken their stand in the
front ranks among (lie rising lawyer's of
the Stale. Mr. Saylcs's old home is in
Brcnham, ami many friends feel proud
of him. We had the pleasure of meet-
ing Mr. l.ovjoy while on a visit to Gal-
veston a short time since, and found
him also to be a man of ability and
learning. AVe commend the News for
its enterprise, and recognize it to be the
leading and most influential paper in
the South.— JJren/miii Tianncr.
A I'Alatnblr and tlcaitliliil Drink.
After the expenditure of a great deal
of time and money, Messrs. E. Anlieu-
ser & Co., of the Bavarian Brewing As-
sociation, St. Louis, have succeeded in
producing and bottling an article of
beer that retains all its delicate flavor
and brilliant ijimlitics in the Southern
climate. Of course, as soon as the
merits of the superior beverage offered
by this firm became known, the country
was flooded with spurious compounds,
all of them harmful, and none of which
will stand the climatic influences of a
low temperature. Messrs. Anlieuser iV
Co. make the bottling of this beer a
specialty, and the article furnished by
them can be depended on at all times.
They use in the manufacture of their
beer the best Utah barley and the finest
hops; their brewers are thoroughly edu-
cated to their business, and the beverage
produced has no equal in the market.
Oxe-Third Actually Saved.—
Economical housekeepers should know
that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
is a perfect powder, and as such is very
light, and that those powders which
weight heavy are made so by ponderous
adulterants. As baking powders are
used by measure, teaspoonfuls, and not
by weight, the heavier ones being less
effective and more expensive.
Dr. Price's cans are the same size,
hold the same number of teaspoonfuls
as others, and as two teaspoonfuls are
only needed when three of the others
are required, it will be perceived that
there is in its use an actual saving of
one-third; tlmt two cans of Dr. Price's
go as far as three cans of the common
kinds. Dr. Price's Powder is not sold
in bulk, it can only be foun'l pure when
bought in cans securely labeled.

John T. CJrjfft.y and "Wife vs. J.. N. Chad-
wick. Appeal from Austin. Jan. is, 1870.
INJUNCTION SUET) OUT P.Y STRANGER
TO THE lySCORD.
On the 8tl» of December, 1871, Chad wick re-
covered a judgment against appellant JolinT.
Griffin and one J. M. De Lyons, in the District
Court <>f Austin county, for the sum of $6B5 75
and costs of suit. Thereafter an execution
was issued upon said judgment, and a levy
was made by the sheriff upon certain blocks
and lots situated in the town of Hempstead, as
the property of defendant John T. Griffin.
This is an injunction suit filed on the :JSth of
May, 187:2. by appellant Louisa A. Griffin,
joined by her husband, John T. Griffin, one of
the defendants in the execution, to restrain
the sale of the blocks and lots levied on, upon
the ground that they were her separate prop-
erty. At the Nov. term thereafter the plaintiff's
dismissed this suit, whereupon the court en
tered judgment upon the injunction bond
against the plaintiffs and their sureties for the
amount of the original judgment, by virtue of
which the levy was made, and for 10 per cent,
damages and costs, reciting in this judgment
that there was a trial of the cause. At a sub-
sequent day of the same term of the court,
the plaintiffs and their sureties filed.a motion
for a correction of the judgment, assiging as
errors. 1st. the error of fact about there hav-
ing been u trial. 2d, the entering judgment
against them for the amount of the original
judgment. 3d, the entering of judgment
against them for 10 per cent, damages. Th*1
court set aside this first judgment and entered
up a second judgment against the plaintiffs
and their sureties and against the said J. M.
De Lyons (who was no party to the suit) for
the amount of the original judgment and in-
terest and costs, and for 10 per cent, damages
—from which judgment the said plaintiffs and
their sureties prosecute this appeal. The
court say:
1. Where a stranger to the record claims
land levied on by execution, and obtains an in-
junction, and the injunction is dissolved, it is
error to render judgment against the plaintiff
in the injunction suit and his sureties, for the
amount of the original judgment. (Overruling
Gault vs. Goldthwaite. 34 T. 104, and affirming
Carliu vs. Hudson. 12 T. 202.)
2. The statute authorizing the court to award
damages for the delay, on the dissolution of
an injunction, has reference to injunctions to
restrain the collection of money obtained by
the judgment debtor, or some one who is a
party to the judgment.
Reversed and remanded.

John' T. Griffin vs. J. N.. Chad wick. Error
from Austin, Jan. IS. 1876.
CONFLICT IN EVIDENCE—BILL OF EX-
CEPTIONS-WHAT MUST BE SHOWN—
VERBAL CHARGES-VERDICT.
The defendant in error recovered judgment
in tli»* court below against the plaintiff in error
on a contract for the rent of a certain farm.
There was a conflict in the evidence. Chad-
wick showed by his own testimony, the only
evidence he produced, that lit* was entitled to
recover, while Griffin testified to the contrary.
Griffin propounded interrogatories to Chad-
wick which were answered by him. On the
trial Griffin declined to read Chadwick's depo-
sitions. The plaintiff read them on his own
behalf over the objections of defendant.
The grounds on which Griffin objected
are not shown by a bill of exceptions or other-
wise. The defendant asked some verbal
charges, which the court refused to give.
For these supposed errors, and because the
verdict is not supported by the evidence and
does not show when interest should commence,
it is asked to reverse the judgment of the
court below. The court saj*:
1. Where there is a conflict in the evidence
upon a material question the verdict of the
jury will not be disturbed.
2. The verdict, defective in regard to the
date of the commencement of interest, is cured
by the pleadings. *
•*i. When objections are taken to the rulings
of the District Court, the ruling objected to. to-
gether with all the facts and circumstances,
must be presented by a formal bill of excep-
tions, or incorporated into the statement of
facts.
4. Unless a party reduces his charges to
writing, he can not object because the court
refuses to give them.
Judgment affirmed.
Moore, Justice.
J. Rosenfield <S: Son vs. J. E. Condict & Co.
Appeal from Colorado. January 25. 1876.
RIGHT TO REMOVE A CAUSE FROM THE
STATEI COURT TO THE FEDERAL
COURT.
In 1868 J. E. Condict & Co.. citizens of New
York, brought suit in the District Court of
Colorado county against J. Rosenfield & Son.
citizens of Colorado county. A trial was had.
which resulted in favor of defendant. Con-
dict & Co. appealed to the Supreme Court of
the State, and the judgment was reversed,
and the cause remanded to the District Court
for further proceedings.
After the cause had been reinstated in
ilie District Court. Condict & Co. made a mo-
tion for the removal of the cause to the Fed-
eral Court under the act of Congress, 1S67.
The order for removal was made.
Rosenfield it Son made a motion to have the
cause reinstated, and the order of removal
canceled, on the ground (1) that the order was
made on an f .r parte hearing.
2. That on account of the former trial the
motion came too late. The motion to reinstate
was overruled, whereupon the defendants ex-
cepted and appealed to this court. The court
say:
1. The first question presented has not been
alluded to by counsel—Is this such a judgment
as will support the .appealThe order grant-
ing the removal to the Federal Court is the
-final judgment of the District Court in said
cause, it is, therefore, such a judgment as
may be brought here for review.
3. It is not. necessary to give notice to the
opposite party of an application to remove a
cause from the District to the Federal Court.
1. Condict & Co. had a right at any time be-
fore final judgment to have the cause removed
to the Federal Court. This right was not af-
fected by the fact that there had l>een a trial
and judgment in the District Court: for this
judgment had been reversed by the Supreme
Court, and at the time of the application for
the removal the cause stood for trial in the
District Court.
^.Judgment affirmed.

Houston and Texas Central Railroad vs.
James Ryan. Error from Fort Bend, Jan.
25, 1H76.
VENUE CHANGE OF. ON THE GROUND OF
DISQUALIFICATION OF JUDGE.
Ryan brought suit against the Houston aud
Texas Central Railroad to recover two lots of
ground in the city of Houston. The railroad
plead not guilty, and the statute of three, five
and ten years. At the March term. 1874. of
the court on the application of the plaintiff,
the court made an order changing the venue
to Fort Bend county, on the ground as recited
in the order "that the presiding judge had
heretofore, as counsel, given an opinion in re-
gard to the validity of the title to the land in
controversy/* After the cause was transmit-
ted to the county of Fort Bend, the plaintiff
excepted to the jurisdiction of the court on the
ground that the record did not show that the
Judge of the District Court of Harris county
was disqualified from sitting as judge. The
plea to the jurisdiction was overruled, and. a
jury|heing waived, the court gave judgment
for the plaintiff.
To reverse this judgment, the Houston and
Texas Central Railroad have prosecuted this
writ of error. The court saj-;
1. The recital in the order of the reason for
granting a change of venue does not bring the
application within the provision of the consti-
tution. which prohibits "a judge from sitting
in the case when he has been of counsel in the
cause."
2. It may have been that the presiding
judge hail been of counsel in other cases in-
volving the same title to the laud as that in-
volved in the cause instituted before him as
judge, which would not disqualify him from
sitting in the cause.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.

F. M. Deaton vs. State of Texas. Appeal
from Trinity. January 25. 1H76.
INDICTMENT FOR DISTURBING A RELI-
GIOUS MEETING. SPECIAL ISSUES. EX
CLUDED EVIDENCE.
The appellant was indicted for disturbing a
religious meeting. Plea not guilty. Also a
special plea sworn to of a former acquittal of
the same offense before a Justice of the Peace.
The court refused to admit evidence in sup
)>ort of the former acquittal on the ground
that the plea did not show the exact date
when the defendant was tried before the Jus-
tice. The court in its charge, however, sub-
mitted the issues under both pleas to the jury.
The jury found the defendant guilty gener-
ally, without reference to the special plea of
former acquittal. The court say:
1. If a plea is clearly a nullity, evidence may
properly be excluded in support of it . Not so.
however, when it is merely defective and liable
to be held bad on exception.
2. When special pleas are submitted to a
jury they must say in their verdict that the
matters alluded to in such pleas either are
true or untrue. [P. D.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded.

Colorado County vs. Wm. Beethe^ Error
from Colorado. January 25. 1876.
CLAIMS AGAINST A COUNTY. PRACTICE
1M SUPREME COURT.
Wm. Beethe. the Comity Treasurer «»f C«»'-
orado county, paid to the Sheriff and l>ist rift
< lerk certain orders dm »\ ii "n him in their favor
by the District Judge. Tli' v older*, v. ere bas^l
upon certain charges which these officers claim-
ed to have against ti:e county for their fees in
a number of criminal case^. which had been
dismissed by the District Attorney before trial.
The orders were never registered, etc. When
Beethe presented these orders to the County
Court they refused to allow them as vouch-
ers. The "county afterwards sued Beethe for
the amount which he had paid out on these
orders. He plead payment on the orders of
the court, etc. On the trial a jury was waived
and the cause submitted to the judge, who
gave judgment for the defendant. To reverse
t his judgment the county of Colorado sued out
this writ of error. Appellant asks that the
judgment be reversed and such judgment ren-
dered as should have been rendered in the
court, below. The court .say:
Without passing upon the validity of the
charges against the county, upon which these
orders are based, we hold:
1. These orders can. at best, be considered
only as recognized claims against the county.
They should have been registered as any
other claims against the county. <F. D. 6044.)
2. It is not now the usual practice of this
court to reverse and render, except in cases
where the cause is submitted to the court be-
low on an agreed state of facts.
The judgment is reversed and the cause re-
manded.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
Objection* from flic " IBlack Belt
Standpoint.
Ed*. JVeir.s—In recent numbers of
your paper you advocate the adoption
of the new constitution on two
grounds:
1. The inconvenience which would
result from its rejection.
2. Because the Republicans oppose it.
Now, Gov. Coke has repeatedly taken
occasion to say that not the slightest in-
convenience would arise from its rejec-
tion; that the appropriations for the
support of government were all made
lo August next, and that no force is put
on the people to vote for it from fear of
any lapse of government. Who is in
the right, you or the Governor?
Again, is it a sufficient reason to vote
for the new constitution because the
Radicals do not? Is it a party disaster
if what we believe to be a bad constitu-
tion is defeated? But the Democratic
party is not responsible for the thing.
Its convention disowned it. But in
point of fact, we know that the consti-
tution is not its work. When John
Johnson, of Collin, boasted in the con-
vention, " >Vc are thirty-three and you
are thirty-seven, and we have beat the
talent of the convention on every part
of the ground," he did not speak for
the Democratic party.
Have you no better reasons than these
to offer why we should vote for the
constitution?
Let me tell you why ire can't vote
for it.
Because it delivers over these counties
of the " Black Belt," once the richest
and still the fairest of this fertile land,
inhabited by a people unexcelled in in-
telligence and moral worth, hopelessly,
irredeemably to African misrule.
Because by its Radical provisions for
4he election of all officers by universal
suffrage, and its extravagant extension
of the doctrtne of "home rule," it
commits the government of the people
of these counties to the hands of the
ignorant and prejudiced class who were
lately their slaves.
Under the constitution as it is, we
could hope that in a very few years a
Democratic Governor and Senate would
put a learned and enlightened judge
upon our district bench. We hoped
that a Legislature less imbued with the
fell spirit of demagogism than the last
would amend our jury system so that
ignorance and prejudice might no
longer occupy the jury box. If the new
constitution is adopted there is nothing
for us but despair. Our former slaves
will elect our district judges, our coun-
ty judges, our clerks and sheriffs, our
county commissioners and justices of the
peace.
The exodus of the white popula-
tion from these counties will begin. The
colon d race will Hock here as to a new
El Dorado. In fact, all over the State
tlieir attention is already directed here,
and we have in one neighborhood" this
winter an influx of one hundred colored
families, settled under the auspices of
Mr. Hack worth, the Radical delegate
for the Fifth District.
You may tell us that time will work
out our salvation. We know better.
We know that our lands are diminish-
ing in value, our white population de-
creasing, and, worse than all, we "begin
to see the demoralizing influence
of negro supremac}'. We have no
hope of better things except in the
defeat of the constitution, and whether
it be Democratic or Radical to oppose
it Ave care not. We only know that,
howsoever good it may be for other
sections of the State, it is death to us.
And we pray God to avert
'• The. deep damnation of its taking off."
AVe felt grateful for the sympathy
yon have expressed for our condition.
We hoped it would lead to active effort
for us. But, alas! the News also fur-
nishes another illustration of the
cynic's saying: "It is amazing with
what fortitude we hear up under the
misfortunes of our dearest friends!"

Houston Local Items.
Tiie IIosi'itai,.—A reportorial glance
yesterday at the hospital of Doctors Stuart.
Larendon and Boyles. developed the fact that
the sick under the management of those sur-
geons are having a time as agreeable as possi-
ble under the circumstances. The hospital is
beautifully and rurally situated in the midst of
pine and oak forests, in the west of the city.
The vegetable garden attached is a model of
horticulture, and the numerous rooms and
apartments are as neat and elegantly kept as
those of private residences. I)r. Stuart, the
head surgeon, is now Vice President of the
Texas Medical College at (Jalveston. and was
formerly President of the State Medical Asso-
ciation.
VETElt-YN OF TIIE MEXICAN AN All.—
At the hospital of Drs. Stuart. Larendon and
Boyles is a patient, John Gallagher, an old
man both deaf and blind, a native of Boston,
Mass.. who says he once belonged to the
Eighth U. S. Infantry and served under Gen.
Worth in the Mexiean War. Jie received two
bullets in his body at the Battle of Cherubus-
co. and takes jjride in pointing out the locality
of the wounds.
Political.—The local political cam
paign has nearly reached fever heat, and the
uncertainty of the residt 011 election day gives
the situation more than ordinary interest.
The Republican candidates are busily and ac-
tively canvassing the country precincts, and
doing their level best to secure votes, while
the Democrats still exhibit some apathy, but
are beginning to be aroused by the posibility
of defeat.
Personal.—Sheriff Marklcj\ of Dal-
las. came down with a lot of convicts for
Huntsville yesterday.
General J. B. Robertson i*in the city.
Gen. George A. Sheridan left on the evening
train for Galveston, where he will, in a few
days, repeat his lecture 011 Sam Houston and
his time. General Sheridan will be accompa-
nied in his tour through the State by Will
Lambert, Esq.
Shooting Affau;.—Yesterday morn
ing a shooting affair oecurred in Fifth Ward
at the old New Orleans railroad depot. The
affair occurred between two negroes, James
White being the name of the party who used
firearms and caused his opponent to take ini
mediate flight without any other serious in
jury except a bad scare. White had not been
arrested at last accounts.
Emigrants' Kates.—It is stated by a
gentleman engaged in the Immigration busi-
ness that lit* has received information that
emigrant tickets from the Northwest over the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas ami other lines
are now two cents per mile, which he con-
siders most fovorable to the influx of new-
comers this spring.
Snagged.—On her upward trip, and
while opposite Harrisburg. yesterday morn-
ing. the steamer Fowler struck the broken
limb of a tree and was snagged. The damag<
only amounted to a small orifice in the ves-
sel's hull, which was soon and easily repaired.
The steamer returned yesterday with her
usual cargo of cotton and produce.
Continued.—Thursday morning, in
Justice McGowan's Court, was called the shoot
ing case of the railway engineer Menard and
his engineer, James Steele. But Menard and
Steele were present, but owing to the absence
of witnesses, the preliminary investigation
was again postponed till all the witnesses can
be had.
Vagrancy.—Recorder Freidhcim has
announced his intention of making Houston
too hot for vagrants, idle and suspicious per-
sons. with which the city is now certainly
overrun. The police force have received or-
ders to arrest all persons who are not able to
give a satifactory account of how they sub-
sist.
Republic as Meeting.-—The Repub
licans are reported to have held a meeting at
the negro village of Smokeyville, -1 miles out
of the city. The colored voters of the place
were harangued, but asserted they did not
intend voting for the independent Democrats
on their ticket.
Disorderly Hovse.—The authorities
last evening arrested a woman named Ann
Simmons, who has for some time past dis-
turbed the neighborhood on Caroline street,
between Congress and Preston, by keeping up
a negro lUince-hoiise. whose midnight orgies
are occasionally of tli»* vii«»st description.
Lecture on IVxrwinism.—The many
friends of Bishop <hu n t! jut jooking forward
Lo tin* lecture which that divine proposes t«
<*ivc in this city on the Si.li pro&iuio 011 l»ar
win's Descent of Man. It is expected the
r everend orator wiii show up Dar»vin theory
in a most amusing and instructive light.
In Bloom.—In consequence of the
mild weather the peach trees around the su-
burbs are blooming, and the butter-beans ami
tomato vines in the garden of a gentleman of
the Second Ward are unhurt and present a
decidedly summerish appearance.
Suspicious Characters.—The fol-
lowing persons were arrested by the police and
produced before Recorder Freidlieim, charged
witu vagrancy, as well as being suspicious char-
acters: Henry Madison. Wm. Roberts, Louis
Borcier and Louis Collins. The latter two
were given twenty-four hours to leave the
city, or be rearrested.
Germama Liederkranz.—This mu-
sical association, celebrated their anniversarj-
last night by a bal masque at Samger Hall, on
La Branch street . The occasion proved a most
enjoyable one for the Leidcrkranz and their
numerous^" riends.

schooners arrived in the bayou yesterday
morning: Schooner Biloxi. from Sabine, with
1110.000 shingles, and schooner Ramsey, from

DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
I)AIN in the right side, under the

to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder-
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some-
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is aH'ccted
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general arc costive,
sometimes alternative with lax ; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panicd with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable lots of memory, ac-
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at-
tendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet arc cold or burning,
find he complains of a prickly sensa-
tioM of the skin ; his spirits arc low ;
and although he is satisfied that excr-

Dear Sir—I feel it a duty to suffering hu
manity, no less than to your unparalleled
medicine, to thank you for having rescued me
from a fate infinitely worse than death.
For ten years I have been afflicted with
rheumatism to such an extent as to render
life intolerable, and there has been no period
of time in the last two years that I would not
have hailed death as the kindest boon that
heaven could bestow. I had been treated by
such eminent doctors as Ayres, Byrne, the
late Geo. Cocliman, Wilde. Palmedo, and
others, of Brooklyn. New York; Professors
Stone and Beamis, of New Orleans, and some
in this city, but they all failed until, through
the mercy of Providence, I called upon you
and took your wonderful medicines, which, in
the short space of ten days, has affected a per-
fect and radical cure. Your much obliged and
sincere friend, J AS. W. McCLOSKY,

Jhar Sir—I was afflicted with Chronic Rheu-
matism for the last five years, and have been
for several weeks at a time confined to my

which is offered, under special terms, to every

This steel engraving is in line and stipple. It
