A new bill is to be introduced to the
House providing modes for regulating
the election of President'and Vice Pres-v
ident. It provides that in case of con
troversies as to the election they shall
be uecidedby the highest judicial au
thority of the state, whose decision ahaO
be final, subject only to the vote of both
Houses of Congress.
The Hon. William Hunter ,w"ho'has
served in the State Department for 50

in this city, who was associated with
Mr. Sherman in the Thirtvfifth and
khirly-uxth Congresses, forms! an m-
"tercsting addition to the political his-
tor y of the day. It has been stated in
8 )me quarters that Mr. Sherman was
- 'auxipus to secure the nomination for
Governor ot Ohio, if he could have
becu well assured of success, and that
, doubt as to the result of this year's
election in that titate madehini re
luctantly abandon thisidea. The letter

REASONS -WHY
FEItRY DAVIS'
PAIN - KILLEli
j;is THE
Best Family Medicine of the Age.
And why it should be kept always neaf gfr-l
hand:
1st. Pain-Kiileb is the most certaan
Cholera cure that medical science has
- produced.
2nd. rAiN-KiL.i,icR, as a Diarroea and Dys
entery remedy, sciaom u ever laiis.
3rd. PAra-KiiiiER will euro Cramps or
Pains in any. part oi the system. A
single dose usually affects a cure.

indigestion, if used according to direc
tions.
5tb. P A in-K i li e k is an almost never -fail
ing cure for Sudden Colds, Coughs, &c
6th. PAiN-KiiiiiKU has proved a Sovereign
Remedy -for Fever and Ague, and Chill
Fever; it has cured the most obstinate
cases.
7th. Pain-Killer as a linament is tin-
equaled for FroRt Bites, Chilblains,

, keep and use in every family. The
simplicity attending its use. together
with the great variety of diseases that

that can be alleviated through its use,
make it imperative upon every person
to supply themselves with this valu
able remedy, and to keep it always near
