Ague Cure
Is a purely vegetable bitter and power
ful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fe
ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Billons Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tonjrue. thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back
and leins, and coldness of the spine and
extremities, are only premonitions of
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse
nic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the " Ferer and Agim
Preparations," "Specifics," "Ryrups aud
"Tonics," in the market. The prepara
tions made from tbeso mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leare the
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they were Intended to cure.
AvxK'a Ague Cciik thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. It
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injnre the most delicate pa
tient; and its crowning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack.
For Llrer Complaints, Avek's Aot-s
Ct be, by direct 'action on the liver and
biliary apparatus, drives out the Kisons
which produce these complaints, and stim
ulates the system to a vigorous, healthy
condition.
TTe warrant it when taken according to
directions.

ami are serloudy considorlng
whether It la not necessary t-i take in

has more friends than tit her member
d the clique has, and If he h Judic
ious lu the influence which he wichh,
nothing can prevent his being renoinl
nnted hut attsolute trickery on the
part of the clique. In order to more
fully lay their claims before tho peo
ple, and have tin ir prubes sounded
so that all may hear, this clique is said
to havo organized a' Lltcniry llureau,"

M.aii:e, la which be lauded 1J. k
mm, and this Is undursttsal to have
ta en written hy ftKepubllran employ
e tit the S'ale ( spltol. The foot-
pilots of this same scribbler were seen
a f week i since In nn i t)ih rial in u
Republican pnfwr In this city, in
which falsehood and inlsrepn nta
llM croppetl oat .lll nearly every
line.
In (he article in th." fUgimUt refer
red lo, w' f.ml the following atate
mcnt :
"When the present State ofllcials
took charge, the Stato waa laboring
under a debt of $700,000, created
without warrant of law by the Orov
erChnilwkk ndmlnhtration, which
debt was drawing Intrrcst at various
rates. The State tsx was sevon mills
on the dollar. With econamical and
careful management in every depar
meat, tne fslate olllcers bsVtO paid off
$17.',,000 of tho debt, loaviug an in
debtedness nf only $d Ji:,000f and this
amount will probably bo rtnluced
$100,000 more liefore the end of tho
year."
Now, as a matter of fact, the in
debtedness of tho Stato for which the
S .it" Is liable, and which tho people
are liable to be taxed to pay, was,
"when tho present Stato omen took
charge," $:io2,0'.)5 48, a shown by
the following igtirei, taken from the
report of tho Secretary of Stato for
1878, "when the present Stato officers
took charge
ooldier's Bounty Bonds. .$ 2o,i00 00
Soldier's Relief Bonds. . . 701 10
Modoc War Beads 182,858 70
Outstanding VVurrants.. 192,975 02
Total $352,905 48
Now this was tbe actual State In
debtedness when tho present Stato
officials took charge, and not $750,
000, as alleged by the "scrihhling
crumb picker," before referred to.
Now it should te remembered that at
the time of making tho ahovo report,
the secretary reported that there wore
lock bends outstanding amounting to
$1G0,003, but we should not forget
that this Is not an Indebtedness of
the State, and tho people will never
be taxed to pay them
Congress donated to the State 500,
000 acres of land for internal Improve
ments, ami when the legislature of
1S70 authorized the issue of these
lock bonds fr tho purpose of eon
strmdingdie locks at Oregon City, In
order that the farmers of the Will t'u
ette Valley might havosornu facilities
fre from a monopoly, whereby they
nilyht. ship their wheat and other pro
duce H was upon the express eomll
tlo'i thst the "prirfeipftl and interest
of xi tl txind shall he paid out of ihe
foud arising from tho Ave per cent
um of the net proceeds f the sale of
public lands of tho United States with
in this State, or out of tho Inn ! aris
ing out of tho salo of the flvo hum
drosl thousand acres of land donated
to the State of Oregon hy act of Con
gress for Ihe purpose of Intomul im
provements an I nut vtficrwiMr, or from
both of said funds uiuitwt ollnrwL$n.
It would also bo well to remomber
(as I wish to placo all tho facts DOsWe
your readers) that at the same time
the Secretary of State reported thst
there wore warrants outstanding, and
tatynhlo oat of swamp, tide, five per
cent, and other land funds amounting
to $1:18,000. But the people of the
Stats will never he taxed to pay these
warrants, as they are expressly made
payable out of the funds arising from
tho salo of iW4inp, tide and other
lands donated to the Stato by C u
gress. But suppose we add the Indebted
no of tho Sbtte, tho amount of lock
bonds, and Ihe amount of land war
rants together, and wo havo a total
of $661,691 48, which is $100,000 less
than "crumb picker" puts the whole
Indobehlnods of tho .State. Now, Mr.
(,'rumbpleker, do you suppose you can
build up a reputation and popularity
for your employer by resorting lo
such shameless representation rfftd
fal.inhood as the aUive ? You should
havo told the people that when the
Republic ins "took charge" In 180 l,
they found the state actually out of
debt and $40,000 cash In the treasury,
loft theroby Honest John Whitaker.
That your party held power for eight
years and went out inder a dark
cloud, your officials having robbed the
state of the I. tit dollar they could got
their hands on. That thousands of
honest Republicans held their noses
while Gov. Woods canvassed the
Stalo In 170 for Palmer. That your
IhViaU left then with unpaid outstand
ing warrarrts amounting lof29i67t82;
That while holding power they made
no public Improvements tor the State
whatever, and left nothing to show
for their largo indebtedness. While,
on 'ho other hand, tho Democrats
held power for twelve years, carried
an exoalvn war with tho Iudians,
built a fienlteuiiary aud large capltol
building snd then left tho State uitli
an actual iadebteduees of ftfttatM 48,
as shown above.
Now let us inquire by what means
t his Indebtedness has I en reduced
by "tho present ofll i !.
From 1804 to 1S7! the annual State
tax was four milts on the didlar, but
In cona-jucncf f the heavy demand
made up m the Htate's finances to de
fray current expenson ami ay f.,r
construction of tho eaplo I building
and penitentiary, (be oiitstnrnliug
warrants nbovi- referred t u-re I ,
eucd, hut not paid for wmt nf funds.
In 1872 a Democratic h -i-lature lev
icd a tax of 3 mills to fJ off this In
dcb'.edlieas, and hy meat s of this ex
tra tax, and not in ooiutr'fwnet of any
Hirticular eeotwmy of Ur, k'nrlvtrt, this
ImlehtednwsH has Injon paid off, and,
in fart, Hhotild havo been more than
paid oir, ns tbe amount of money re
ceivcd from Ihe 2 mill lax In 1870 nnd
( : 9 waa $177,080 14.
Now your correspondent has teen
Informed tli.it noitio Hir:bn of the
lutk Imi-, h .ahecn paid elf Icce the
preaent St ate o0 -lila took etiarge,"
hut bow much, I have lcn utisi'le
to barn. I5jt ii any p;.rt h.t U-en
paid, wo will inquire where the mon
ey came from to make suck payment.
It camo from the proceed ef the alo
of the Internal Improvement lands,
and jut! from any economical nvinttyt
nv.nl of Mr. l'irh ut, Secretary of State,
The peoplo were never taxed, and
never will tie taxed, to pay off tho
. Kinds or land warrants, or war
rants drawn upon the internal im
provement fund. So that, after all
tin blow and sounding praises by the
members of tho literary bureau, we
thitl that tho present Stato ofllcials
haveUotie thoao things expreaely point
ed out to them In the law, and that
they had no Uiscrotioti In tho matter,
nml have dene nothing to justify the
fulsome praises which have been
heaped upon them. This clique hag
lonn"t a plan, so It is here said, by
which they expect to carry this coun
ty in the Republican Stato conven
tion for their ro nomination. Mr.
Montelth, of this city, one of our old
est and most respected citizens, a gen
tleuiau ef p iblic spirit and enterprise,
is a candidate before tho Rcpuhlican
state convention for Stato Treasurer.
Of course tho Salem clique look upon
Mr. Monteith's being a candidate as a
piece of impertinence. But finding
that Mr. Montelth is really a popular
man and likely to cany the Linn
county delegation for himself for
State Treasurer, this clique has Induc
ed Mr. R. Kirk, an obscure man at
Brownsville, to announce himself as
a candidate for State Treasurer, with
tho hope of distracting tho forces ot
Mr. Monteiih, and thus carry the
county for the clique. It is said here
by friend i of Mr. Monteiih that this
arrangement had its inception at
Portland, where the Republican State
Central Committee mot for the pur
pose of calling the Stato convention.
It tl alleged here that Mr. Sol Kirsch,

We gave some of tbe Scripture pas

that over the Churches established by
the Apostles, there was an ofEcr or

who was eventually calls I the Bishop
of the Church in which La prasidad.
Ilia Prsebytcr were also called at
time BythojHi hut did not xercio the

Prayer Books ef tbe Kpiscopai Cbutcb
and of the Church nf Kugland have this
sentenee prefacing tbe to dins'.
"It is evident unto all men, dili
snlly reading Holy Hciiptare and
ancient authors, that from the Apostles

estimation, that no man bi'ght presume
to execute any of tbem. xuoot he were
first callid, tried, exaniim-d, and known
to have such qualities as are requisite
forth same, and a'.so by Public Prayer
with Imposition of Hands, ware ap
proved and admitted theieon to by
lawful authority. And t!n refoi, to
tbe intent thst these Ooisis may be
continued, aud reverently used and
esteemed in this Cburcb, no man aball

Bishop, Ptieat, or Deacon, ia tbis

From this it is evident that tbe

We ssasil now dev. t some to the
examination ef this matter by the light

Cntirch is a OsaaVtJ) as d- j-enLo :t upon
law as is the ci il coaunim tt : this is
briefly refared Ui iu piper V of Feb
24th. Before divisions among Christians
had made headway, a threvfold tn in ta
tty was tbe universal prastioc, and
when tbe quastion arise among the
brethren as to tbe lawfu'nMs of Kpisoo
pal authority, even if they se toad the
Scriptures as to dra fotn them aigu
mciita as to an equality of orders, was
it not a violation of every principle of
law aud equity, to condemn K (mm- i(mct
as (Kipisb, white tbe scriptures and
history both bore tnstimony as to its
truth? While arf equality of orders Is
at best an inference, only plain to tbse
who will not listen to uy texts of
Scriptures unless they favor tli.dr pecu
liar views.
As those who tried te overthrow the
Scriptural eharaoter of lv.isoopscy, did
so by unnring the fore of ,iaiaages re
ferred to in the previous papers, they
have attempted in tbe same way to
ignore er deatroy the credit of the wit
nesses to the practice of the early
CbUrcb. To these witnesses every
Christian to day is indebted under
Providence fr hia faiib, and whatever
light er comfort of love ho derives from
the Soripteres. It waa the woik of
the earl; Church to gather and guard
th writings of the Apoetlea, and
faithfully did the msrtyrx an I con
fessors of this period tbctr duty.
When the infidel mskes tho asswition
that tbe Nw Testameut writiugs were
the product of a later age, we turn to
the writings ef these saints and show
right that the ."scriptures were in
xiste acs because the minis
teri of Ilia earl Ci'irdi quot
thorn. It is a favorite insthol with
some persona to assert tbe integrity of
tha Scriptures because their internal
evidence, marks them as tbe word of
God. They rest their faith on their
capacity to recognize the voioe of the
spirit spbsking to their hearts:
thoy tnt no better testimony
to truth of the Scripture statements
tban the Scriptures themselves. This
method of argument has confirmed tho
doubts of many seeking tbe truth, and
made tbem infidels. To rational men
it must lie an absurdity to ak tbem to
accept as the truth of God whatever
will not bear the closest and most in
telligent historical investigation. Tbe
truth is that every question, of doctrine
or discipline in tbe Christian Church,
baa a history. One aided CiuixMan

what tbe woid ef Ood should contain.
Wo are ready to prove tbe historic
accuracy ef ihe Scriptures as cornuior-jy

in the Gospel that Christ was born in
too daysof Sent I the King aud auftrred
under Pontius Pilate, we examine tbt
historic records of Rome to see at what
times tl.ojr liveJ. We find that Pilate
waa ruling in Jerusalem at the time
which would have allowed our Saviour
to have Isren born in tbe last days
Herod, arid be ufui 3:' year old a
the gospels intimate. When St. Luk
tells i.s that about He time of Christ's
birth there went eut a decree that all
tbe world abould be taxed, or enrolled
for tho purpose of taxation, we look io
profane history for a notice of sucb an
important event.
When we read of St. Paul before
Felix we turn to history ayain to find

First and moat important of tbe suc

Ignatius. Some writings are ascribed

spurious. This however does not rf

have been cal led Shakespeare's which
we know ere spurious, it does not cast
tbe bast dcu 1 1 Uon the authorship of

Money letter was ascribed to Car
tield, no one would dream ot thinking
the rest of hia correspondence false.

yoar Bishop, which thing also ye de.
For your justly renownel Presbytery,
worthy of God, is fitted so exactly to
the Bishop as tbs strings are to the

harmonious love, Jesus Christ is sung.
And d i ye man by man, become a

and taking up the song of God in uni

He may both hear you and perceive
by your works that ye are indeed the
members of His Son, It is profit
able, therefore, that you shoal 1 live in
an unhlameable unity, that thus ye
may always enjoy communion with

brief space ot time, have enjoyed such
fellowship with your Bishop, I moan
not of a mere human, but of a spirit

you are happy who. are so joined to
him as the Church is to Jesus Christ,
and as Jesus Christ ia to the Father,
