No Medicine for the cure of Rheumatism has ever attained to such a high degree of favor and universality as Johnson's Rheu matic Compound. Although bht one year before the public, this medicine has justly gained an unbounded popularity. When tlie blessing to the afflicted; but true merit can not be suppressed. The attestation of hun dreds who nave been cured by it must prove the truth of the assertion that it Is A RADICAL CURATIVE Inflammatory and Acntc Klieuniafi.Mii Gout, Nenrnlgln and kindred diseases.

Yours respectfully, A. McFarland. The President, C'oaernM and tbe Country?The Trne Ground Well Stated. frdm Harper1* Weekly. During the great debate in which the country ia now engaged it is well to ro momber tnat temperance of tone and a careful rejeurd for truth are always powerful allies. We have lately had signal illustrations of the folly or ex travagant statements and personal as persions; and there can to no more palpable absurdity than that those who stood steadily together against rebellion when rebellion was formidableartiiow anxious and plotting to surrender the Government to rebelB defeated nnd dis graced. Yet these are charges gravely made against such men as' Charles Sumner oil the one hand, and Andrew Johnson on the other. Now either or both of these gentlemen may bo inista , , tlle P?Moyo1' reorganization which they favor, but there is surely no reasonable ground fof belioving that they are hostilo to the Union or Gov ernment. Their views of the true course to pursue may hopelessly differ, but certainty while their Intentions are beyond suspicion tlio difference of their views may be discussed without acri mony. Tho situation is entirely with out precedent, aud denunciation, insin uation, and tierce partisanship merely confound the confusion and exasperate honest differences. It is as unjust to assert that Congress is hostile to the loyal men at the South as it is to insist that the President is anxious to have disloyal men ait in Congress. It is ns inaccurate to declare that Congress means to sustain a pau per class of freed men at the expense of the Government as to argue that the President intends to betray the freed raen defenseless into tho hands of those who hate them. It is as untrue to say that tile course of Congress violates the Constitution as that tho policy of the President overthrows it. The truth lit>s between all these extremes, as may be seen by looking at tho last point we have mentioned. If, for instance, it bo alleged, in defenso of what is called the President's policy, that tho war was to prevent secession; that it was success ful; thnt-'secession' was therefore pre vented; that tlie States are now, as be foro, in I he Union; and that, conse quently, Congress has no constitutional right to prohibit their representation? jt is no less true that if those States are in tho Union they word equally so in May last, and that the President has no constitutional right to appoint a Provisional Governor of a State in tho Union. The truth is, that tho President acted from the necessity of tho case; and that must bo the principle of action un til reorganisation is complete. Then and not before, the authority which is called the war power ceases, and the nor nuil habit of theUnion is resumed. The argument is by no means euded, us Senators Doolittle and Johnson taeem to suppose, when it is proved that the late rebel States aro not out of the Union They were not out of tho Union a year 2S?-., Was any representative which South Carolina might have chosen to send to Congress at that time to be therefore admitted without question? A o sensible man will allirui such an absurdity. , ??u'ler 'ho President nor Congress hold that tho mero fact of laying down arms raised against tho Government proves cither the loyalty or those who surrender or tho propriety of admitting without question ,the representatives whom they send. Senator Itevordy Johnson hlinHnlfconcurred in the. report mado to tho Seuute In February of last year that it was "improper for this body to admit to seats Senators from Louisi ana till, by some joint action of both Houses, there shall, lie some recognition of an existing State Government aclimi in harmony with Uia Government of the United State-i and recognizingits author ity.' ?? All that Congress asks is tlint the subject shull bo investigated aud the facts ascertained, and for that sole pur pose was the Reconstruction Committee appointed. The President also re affirms the same, principle when he says, in speaking of the late rebel States: "When they comply with the Constitution, when they ?liave iriven sufficient evidence of their loyalty nhd that'they can be trusted,'when *fhey yield obedieuce to the law, I say extend t hem the right hand of fellowship, and let peace and union be restored." So says the President; iio say we all. But hore are points to be decided, and by wHom ? Ts it not evident that Congress (finst'decide them for itself before it can admit a single member? 'The Presi dent may for himself bo satisfied upon some of these pioints, and he says iu his Veto Message that, iu his jugdment, "some" of the late rebel States may properly bo admitted to representation But surely neither ho nor any other man can expect that his conviction will bind Congress. There was uover a sub ject, indeed, which required more de liberate consideration. The honor of the country pledged to the freedmeu* the security of the national debt- the in creased representation given by the Emancipation Amendment to the late rebel States; the danger of any risk of assumption of the rebel debt in any form?all require the most thoughtful care in legislation. But the most truly patriotic men may honestly differ about methods, and if upon-auy point Congress and the Pres ident disagree, tho Constitution indi catea-tho course to pursue. He may interpose his veto, if Congress over comes it by tho Constitutional vote, its will becomes a law of the United States which tbe President is sworn to exe cute. If his veto prevails, the will of Congress so iar fails to become a law. Bat the President, if he have any re gard for the dignity of his office or for tho just distribution of powers in this government, will be very wary of de claring that his view of the case shall prevail against that of Congress. Tho President is but a co-ordinate branch of the Government. He is not tho supe rior of Congress nor of the Supremo Court. He is the executive officer of the laws. Meanwhile his veto of any measure is a deliberate appeal to the country upon the point of difference, and the country will decide the ques tion at the ballot-box. But we confidently trust that no such appeal will bo necessary. The Presi dent and Congress.have the same end in view. They both desire the resump tion by every Stater jpf its relations in the Union at the earliest moment con sistent with the general peace and se curity; and. if Congress, accepting the facia ofjthe situation, trusts something to lime, something to .the traditions of the Government, something to the sure laws which, despite passion and preju dice. still control human affairs; ana if resident, mindful of the equal dig nity find responsibility of Congress, re members thut firmness is not inconsis tent with forbearance, nor conviction with conciliation; aud if orators and journals reflect tlint rhetorical fury Is always feeble and futile, the great par ty of loyal men who sared tne Union will secure its peaceful perpetuity by mutual moderation and wise conces sion. DcBon ou the Condition of the Nontb. J. D. B. DeBow, whose incendiary writings did so much to foster the re bellion, and who was so insolently de fiant, now talks pleasantly and mildly. Wo give the leading portion of his t4S timony before the Reconstruction Com mittee: The South acquiesces. There seems to bo a general, nay, universal acquies cence in the results of the war. though much dissatisfaction prevails In refer ence to the course pursued by Congress. Tho people having fairly and honestly tried the experiment of secession, are satisfied with the result, and there is no disposition in any quarter, in any shape or lorm, to embarrass the United States Government or to refrain from the per formance of all the duties of citizen ship. Those iu favor or opposed to se cession, are agreed that it is our best In terest to accept what the Government has done in reference to tho negro, as well as in refereuce to other matters. The Freedmon's Bureau is univers ally complained of as a great evil to the whites, as well as the blacks, and has been the cause of much heartburn ing and a feeling of hostility which did not exist at the time of the surrender. The hostility is not serious, and would speedily yield on the adoption of liber al measures by Congress. Military Force,?None whatever is required at the South, except what the States themselves would furnish. Or der has been completely restored. Treatment of Men.?There is a preju dice against those who remained in the Sohtli arid pretended fealty to it; but who now, for Interested motives, set up that they were always loyal to the Unioh. Much deception of tho kind is practiced. Union men who left the country for that reason and took no part in the war. are respected when they return. Tho prejudice nover amounts to hostility, and no one would be molested in any manner 011 that ac count. 1 know of no exceptions. Such persous require lio protection. There might be some little unkindness of look or expression toward them, and they would not expect freedom of so cial intercourse. No attempt would be made by any ouoto interfere with their personal rights. Treatment of Northern Men.?The se cession men?tho men who were such? are generally ruined, arid their families destitute, and tlioro is for this reason a disposition to sustain theui if they un dertake any business. Actual sympa thy with their opinions must, of course, have its weight. On the other hand, thero are many who are in flourishing business, Northern men who came to the South during or since the war, and who conduct the most exteusive and lucrative operations. The discrimina tion, where it exists, is merely social at present. It is well marked. We have never known it to take an offensive shape. Thero is coolness, reserve, but nothing more. Ladies at parties may not receive the attentions of Federal officers, >'et the festivities go 011 in the same room and 110 unpleasantness occurs. The feeling is stronger than It was. It is the result of political causes. It will wear away. Will the South support the Union against a foreign power*?Many young men might bo tempted to flghi against I the flag, but ninety-nine in the hun dred of tho people ure sick of war and would sustain tho United States be yond a doubt, if not from affection at least from a conviction of the over whelming power of the Federal Gov ernment. After tho result of the last | war, they would know any opposition to bo hopeless. Besides, all foreign ] powers are hated and despised because of their conduct toward the Confedera cy, and would nover be trusted; und none are. believed to bo able to cope with the United States. Ncarcity of .Money in Utah. You have, says a letter from Salt Lake City, tight money markets^ome times East. I have Wad how semi-sav age nations "barter." I saw it cited,as a curious fact in the newspapers, that in Georgia eggs aro used as "small change," but in Utah I see around me a people, a prosperous people, doing the business of life without money at all. In Salt Lake City itself, right in the lino of travel, there is some money; but in the country settlements, which radi ate thenco into every valley and by ev ery water course for a hundred miles, it is literally true that they have no circulating medium. Wheat is the usual legal tender of tho country.? llorses, harness, vehicles, cattle and hay are cash; eggs, butter, pistols, knives, stockings, and whisky are change; pumpkins, potatoes, sorghum, molasses, and calves are "shinplasters," which are taken at a discouut, and with which the saints delight to pa^their debts (if itisevera delight to pay debts.) Busiuess in this community, with this currency, is a very curious and amus ing pastime. A peddler, for instance, could take out his goods in a carpet-bag, ? but would need a "bull" train to freight back his money. I knew a man who refused un otTer to work in the country at fifty dollars a month, because he would need a "forty hundred wagon and four yoke of o^en" to haul his week's wages to the whisky shop, thea tre, Ac., on Saturday evening. That was an inconv,onjencej truly. And yet tho farmers in tne country towns suffer from an exactly opposite grievai.ee. They cannot keep "their big sons from sneaking into the granary at night and taking off a half bushel or so of wheat, carrying it to the drain shop and hav ing a "high." When a man one? lays out his money in any kind of property, it is next to impossible to reconvert it into money, there is many a man hero, who, when he first came into the valley had no intention of remaining but a, short time, but who goi so in volved thut he could never get away without making heavy pecuniary sac rifices. Property is a Proteus, which yon must continue to grip firmly, not withstanding his slippery change, uutil you have him in his true shape?now you have him as a fine horse and saddle; presto, he is only sixty gallons of sorghum molasses; now he changes into two cows and a calf, and before you have time to think he is transformed into fifteen cords of wood up in the mountain -canon; next he becomes a yoke of oxen, then a "shutler" wagon; ha! is it about to slip from you at last iu the form of bad debts? Orii ij* the PAXHAKDiiE.?A" corres pondent of the Pittsburgh Commercial, writing from King's Creek, Hancock J county, W. Va., says: "Operations for the development of the hidden treasure, oil, supposed to exist in this locality, have been com menced with spirit this spring. Under the stimulous of discoveries in other parts, several companies have been formed, and others are organizing. Several wells are being bo reel on this ci?ek,' ?nd others will be commenced as soon as spring fairly opens. The ex citement is considerably on the increase now, by reason1 of the' discovery ol oil at Harden's Run, near this place. It is not known at this time what the yield will be, but the owners feel confident of having a paying well. gnsuranre. National Insurance Company OF WHEELING. CAPITAL* 8100,000. Presitlent, GEORGE K.
