THE lCENUIifliil Z.' .Jill FQR THE CURE "'ir' Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left side ; the patient is rarely able 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 sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stom ach 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 sen sation in the back part. There is gen erally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness r, and debility ; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he com--plains of a prickly sensation of the skin ; his spirits are Jo w ; and although he is "satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up'ibrtltude enough, tt try it. s fneff he5 distrtr"vfreVnedy. Several of the above syjrtoms attend the disease, But cases have occurred where feyr .oi, them existed, yet exam ination of the body, after death, has shown the uvEit to have been exten sively deranged. AGUE AND FfEVER. 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 un equaled. BEVA8E OF IMITATIONS. V. The genuine are never sugar coated.

Special to New York Herald. ' " Washington, November 30. Both parties show a disposition to open the session very qnietly. Promi nent Republicans say to-day that they do not think it good policy, for the pres ent at least, to recommence their old game of drawing out the Democrats. They prefer to await the developments of the Democratic policy. Prominent Democrats, for their part, say that they do not wisli to see the folly of the extra session repeated. Mr. Atkins, chair man of the appropriations committee, holds, so some of the members of the committee say, that the appropriation for the pay of marshals for election purposes, which failed at the extra ses sion and which comes up now as a de ficiency, should be promptly provided for by the House, and the moderate Democrats desire to avoid a repetition of the heated discussions and. futile contests with the President into which they were led last summer. It remains to be seen, however, whether they cn control their wild men, and if not whether the moderates will have the firmness and good sense to cut adrift from these wild men. Leading Demo cratic Senators desire to bring up for settlement at the earliest day the bill providing for a better method of count ing the votes for President and Vice President. It is probable, however, that this will cause a prolonged and tedious debate in the Senate, which on numer ous occasions has shown itself very anxious to leave this unfortunate ques tion open and unsettled. The late Sen ator Morton, who took a very great in terest in the matter, tried, on two or three occasions to get some definite rule adopted, but with all his pertinacity always failed, finding opponents in his own party as well as among the Demo crats. It is a curious fact that the Sen ate did once pass a bill to which the House was then ready to consent with out delay, but Senator Thurman, after the passage, moved a reconsideration for some trivial cause. To oblige Jum the Senators granted a reconsideration, and the bill was never again heard of. Now if this bill of Senator Morton had beeome a law, as wauld haveliappened bo fpr Senator Thurman's interfer ence, its provisions would have carried Mr. Tilden into the White House in 1877 without an electoral commission or any other troublesome extraordinary expedient. - Sotttherm Ootton mills "Beomitif."

The trouble is to get the hands. The cotton factory at Atlanta advertised lately for two hun dred additional women and girls to keep the factory running both day and j night, and did not receive a single ap plication. Some of the Republican pa-1 pers ascribe the failure in this case to 1 ,fhe ingrained laziness of the Southern. people, tne "poor wmtes, tney say, poverty to pleasant work at remunera tive prices." The Atlanta Cchistitulion attributes the fact that the superinten dent Of the factory got no response to; his call to the prejudice existing among ' Southerners against having 'thejiwoj , men go out to work, and speaks of it "as a f als'e sentiment growing .out of; the old system of slave labor," "It U probable that this explanation is-the true one.

The North Carolina Districts How Appointments in Connection Wita the Census are to be Maae, House of Representatives, ) Washington, December 1. j To the Editor of The Observer: Inasmuch as the supervisors' dis tricts have been laid, off by the Secre tary of the Interior, and many persons are interested in knowing in what dis trict they are located, I take the liberty . f . ' . A I M A A 1 . t oi giving ine miormnuon inrougn me only daily paper published in the sixth congressional district The supervi sors of the census are appointed by the President, with the approval of the Senate, and the enumerators (or census takers) by the supervisors. As the President will doubtless consult Gen. Francis A. Walker, the superintendent, all persons desiring appointments by him should address their applications accordingly, fortified with such testimo nials of their character and fitness as they may choose to give. Persons wish ing to act as enumerators should apply to the district supervisor. There will be one census taker for every 4,000 in habitants, and the compensation will probably vary from $120 to $250, depen ding upon circumstances. All of their work is required to be done during the month of June. Both positions being of great importance, men, of business qualifications, and no others, should be appointed. If the newspapers will again publish the substance of the law on the subject, and it is read by persons interested, it will save them and me some trouble and expense. The supervisors will pro ably be appointed within the next three months.
