There is a disease to which the doctors give many names, but which few of them understand. It is simply weaknese—a breaking down of the vital forces. Whatever its causcs, (and they are innu- merable,) its symptoms are nthe main the same. Among the mest prominent are extreme lassitude, lose of appetite, loss of fieeh, and great mental de- pression. Indigestion and a Stomack Cough are also frequently concomitants of this distressing state of body and of mind. The common remark in relation to persons in such a condition is, that they areconsumptive. Now, what these unfortunates really want is vigor, vital strength; and as certainly as dawn succeeds darkness they can recuperate their systems and regain perfect health by resort- ing to HOSTETTER’S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. It is as clear that a life-reviving Tonic is required in such cases, as that the dying flame of an empty lamp requires to be revived with a new supply of oil. Perfectly pure and innocuous, containing nothing but the most genial vegetable extracts,and combining the three grand elements of a stomachic, an alterative, and a genial invigor- ant. HOSTETTER’S BITTERS are suitable to all constitutions, and are as applicable to the dis- eases and disabilities of the feebler sex as to those of men. jy 1-20 WHY NOT USE THE BEST?

HUGHES’ AR- GUMENT. ———— ee After our report closed yesterday— Mr. Hughes, for the defense, continned his argument, saying that in civil cases a prepon- derax c@ Of evidence is required, but in erimi- nal case? A doubt always operates in favor of the prisoner; The prosecuting attorney nad said that Wasitington was a centre of licen. tiousness and crime, and he made an appeal to the jury tomake art example of some one to vindicate the character of this city, and he hoped the jury of Washington would not for- get their dignity. Would they sustain the dignity of themselyes or of the city by sacri- ficing @ woman who was innocent of crime? If Washington is so licentious, it is just such men as A. J, Burroughs who have made itso, No greater master of ineffable cruelty, no greater seducer of female yirtue, no greater criminal has ever appeared here than he; and if the prosecution is excited at the licentious- ness of the city, let them lay it at the door of just such a cidss of men, but do not cousum- mate the wrong he commenced by the conyic- tion of this poor girl. Do not make an ex- ample of this poor, unfortunate woman, but wait till some bloated official—some man of power—who has trampled upon the Constitu- Hon, libesty and » is hrought before this court, and then indicate the power of the law here. Inthe meantime let this poor, blighted, afflicted and persecuted woman go. The law hasno claim upon her. But let the yerdict follow the partner of the deceased in his guilt. Let all the details of this infamous plot go to Chicago, and show to a confiding congregation and a respectable community, in his full in- famy, this reverend doctor, who ‘wears the livery of Heaven to servethe devil in.” In conclusion, the speaker said he went to the jury with perfect confidence of a verdict of acquittal, and he thought these arguments were mere forms. The Court adjourned until ten o'clock this morning MORE LIGHT UPON THE ASSASSINA- TION PLOT. Reported Attempt to Poisom President Lin- coln and Secretary Stanton—Plan for Shooting Andrew Johnson. The Washington correspondent of the Pitts- burgh Chronicle writes as follows in a recent letter ; 1 have talked with an intelligent colored woman who says “she was in the crowd at Secretary Stanton’s door on the evening of the assassination—that she was in charge of sev- eral children; and to prevent their being hurt, placed them in the angle formed by the steps and wall of the house, so that she and they were almost behind Mr. Stanton while he stood on the steps speaking to the people; that aman in a heavy, dark coat, with his hat drawn over his face, edged his way in among the children, and kept moving his head from side to side as if trying to get a good look at Mr. Stanton, while he kept his xignt hand down at his side, and she thought he had a pistol in it. She be- came alarmed and spoke alond to a colored man near, asking him to come and stand be- tween her and this man, for he had a pistol. The colored man came and took the position she desired, and the other moved off. The story ‘was hard to believe, but her daughter stated that she came home that evening quite excited, saying ‘there was a ’specious character in the crowd. and she thought he wanted to shoot Mr. Stanton.” I have reason to believe that Mr. Stanton knew of this, and expected to the last that she would be examined before the Commission. On a visitto Mrs. Lincoln, the day she left for Chicago, 1 said to her that I had alwaysex- pecies slavery would poison Mr. Lincoln as itdid Presidents Harrison and Taylor. The idea appeared new to her, and recailed the fact that her husband had been yery ill, for several days, from the effects of a dose of blue pills taken shortly before his second inauguration. She said he was not well, and appearing to re- quire his usual medicine, blue pills, she sent to the drug store in which Harroid was em- ployed lastand gota dose and gave them to im at night before going to bed, and that next morning his pallor terrified her. “His face,” said she, pointing to the bed beside which she sat, “was white as that pillow case, as it lay just there,” she exclaimed, laying her hand on the pillow—white, and sucha deadly white; as he tried to rise he sank back again, quite overcome!” She described his anxietyjto be up, there was so much to do, and her persistence and his op- pressive languor in keeping him in bed for severa@ days: said he and she both thonght it so strange that the pills should affect him in that way; they never had done so before, and both concluded they would get no more medicine there, as the attendant evidently did not understand making up prescriptions. Could this have been the time spoken of in that letter produced on the trial, in which it is said the cup had failed once? I know an officer’s widow who spent some time with her husband in Georgia while Gen. Mitchell was in command. She had told me of a pretended Union woman, in a small town where they were stationed, who kept a board- ing house for Union officers; of the ‘ge num. ber of invalids among these boarders, and her cially remarking the excessive and pecu- liar pallor of these invalids;soon the number of deaths attracted attention, and an investiga. tion was ordered of the charge that this female fiend had been poisoning her boarders. While the case was pending some order changed the troops DoennT sam the town, and my informant never learned how the matter ended, but her description of the pallor of the victims so coin- cides with Mrs. Lincoln’s account of our mar- tyr’s nppesvance after the taking of the blue pills, that it has occurred tome those monsters may have some uliar method of poisoning. Moreover, it is highly probable that our politi. cal assassinations are not yet over. A conversation was overheard the latter part of last month, on a dark night, between a knot of men, who distinctly detailed a plan for shooting President Johnson on the Fourth.

There is an undefined apprehension of a coming Beninces in money, and some of the brokers show considerable caution and a desire to get rid of stocks. The same feeling extends to governments. Some of the larger holders show a disposition to sell at lower prices, and the transactions on the street in Five-twenties were quite consider- able at 105%a106% forthe old issue; the new issue sold at the board at 104%—a decline of. Certificates of Indebtednes are ¥ lower for the new series; the expectation of large future issues produced a disposition to sell these se- curities. Railroad bonds are State stocks are dull. rather more active, with no change in yalue. The money market is unsettled. Loans are not offered so freely, as there is an expectation of higher rates. Gold continues firm, and speculative moye- ments favor a further advance. The bulls are buying freely, and the bears show no disposi- tion to put out options. Gold is offered at loan in large amounts at 1-32 per cent. per day, but without finding borrowers. There were rumors yesterday on the street of an mtention on the part of Secretary McCulloch to order a sale of a large amount of the surplus gold in the Sab- Treasury; but,the report lacked confirmation.

TERRIBLE SUF¥ERING FROM THE BITE OF A RATTLESNAKE. From a Dubuque (lowa) paper of late date we clip the annexed account of the fearful sufferings of a farmer bitten by a rattlesnake: One of the most horrible deaths possible for a man to meet is awaiting Jacob Sheuster, a farmer near Vaupaton, in this county, who was bitten by a rattlesnake last Saturday. Mr. Sheuster was in the field mowing hay when he came upon the snake, and it attempted to crawl away. He cut it in two with his scythe, and as it still gave signs of life he sey- ered it again within three inches of its head. It then seemed to be dead, and he stooped down to examine its mouth, He was approach- ing its mouth with his right hand, when the snake sprang and fastened itself to his right thumb. He sprang to his feet, and atter sey- eral seconds succeeded in loosening its hold and flinging it to the ground. The thumb pained him terribly, and he ran to the house. it immediately commenced swelling, and his agony lmoreasen., Neighbors were sent for, who applied remedies of which they had heard. But they did no good, and in ten minutes Mr. Shuester commenced yomiting blood. All the remedies suggested by his friends having failed, and they “doctored” him until late Sunday forenoon, Dr. Staples was sent for. He arrived at the house, a distance of 20 miles, Sunday evening. He found Sheuster in a horrible state of body and mind. His righ arm was swollen to four times its natural sizes and was nearly black. This color had reached. his breast, and was spreading over his system, Below the elbow the poison had affected tha arm £0 that its surface was covered with larga blisters, which were filled with blood. From one of these the Doctor drew nearly a tea en full of blood. The palm of the sufferer’s ba; although calloused by labor, was puffed ont like a sugar loaf, and blood continually ic wel from the wounded thumb. His breath Was awfully offensive. . Mr. Sheuster retains all his senses. Before he was bitten he was a large, well-built man, and possessed great strength. He is now hag- gard, as white as a sheet, and his eyes ara ghastly. neutralizing Dr. % administered powerf medicines, and Mr. Shenster felt somewhat ree lieved almost dacnedin toy The Doctor stayed with him all night, and left him at 10 0’clock yesterday morning, with slight ho of his recovery When the Doctor left Mr.S. come plained of a feeling which was then coming upon him for the first time—a sort of benumb= ing, yet painfully tingling sensation, which af~ fected his whole body. SILKs To BE More €ostLy.—The London Pall Mall Gazette says: “The silk-breeders of France are, we are told, in a position of the greatest distress. A strange disease, which has reappeared among the worms from time to time—notably in 1683 and 1710—has, since 1560, reeommenced its ravages, till the price of seed has risen ten fold, and the demand for mulberry leaves has so far fallen off that the planters threaten to cut down the trees and use the lands for some more profitable cultivation. The disease shows it- self, according to the China Telegraph, just as the worm is about to begin the cocoon, so that the breeder has the trouble of rearing for nothing, and has to purchase seed, as it were, inthe dark. Repeated experiments seem to prove that the only seed which can be trusted is that from Japan, and the breeders therefore pray the State to aid them by bringing home their supplies in men-of-war.” a7 Judge Butler, of the First Judicial Dis- trict of Tennessee, in a recent case bro- ght before him, where a man had sued a returned rebel for damages caused by rebel soldiers, de- cided insubstance that every man connected with the rebellion was personally responsible for acts done in furtherance of the rebellion, and instructed the jury, that if the defendant, Was an active rebel, and thé act complained of anactof rebellion, the defendant was liable for damages. a7The Erie, Pa.
