Special Con'espondence of the Morning News.
Jacksonville, Fla., January 14.— As
vour regular correspondent is now absent,
the writer proposes, with your permission,
to keep your readers posted as to the say
ings and doings of the people of Jackson
ville. He selects the Mokning News as a
medium for doing so, notwithstanding the
boast of the Sun and Press as to the large
circulation it enjoys, knowing that his jot
tings will reach more readers through the
columns of your paper than if published in
any of the State journals.
First, then, as to the late cold snap, which
caused us to shiver and shakemnd hunt up
all the spare blankets and bed spreads in
every household. Had you been here on
the morning of the 5th, you might easily
have imagined yourself transported to Cana
da, Greenland, or some other cold latitude.
The old people were astonished, while the
youngsters, many of whom had never wit
nessed such a sight, enjoyed the novelty
hugely. Pendant icicles everywhere, trees
beudiug beneath the weight of sleet, the
earth glazed over with a treacherous carpet.
Many were the falls, and some of the
adults, carried away by the excitement, like
Mr. Pickwick, indulged in a dignified slide.
Of course there were long faces and grave
fears as to the injury done the orange
groves, which have been most happily al
layed by subsequent advices. Tbe general
teuor of intelligence, received as high up
the river as Orange and Volusia counties,
is to the effect that neither the trees nor the
fruit have sustained any perceptible dam
age. This result will be a great benefit, as
those engaged in the cultivation of the
orange, and those contemplating the busi
ness, will have their confidence]
strengthened by the fact that the
trees have successfully endured the
test of such a severe ordeal. Why, even
the blooms upon many of the lime and
lemon trees up the river, sealed in ice for
several hours, emerged from the conflict
fresh and vigorous from their wrestle with
old Winter. A great load of anxiety has
been lifted from the minds of our people,
ana all have good reason to offer a devout,
thanksgiving to Him who governs the I
seasons.
Dr. Baldwin,one of our scientists, has sub-1
jected the scale insect, one of the nrincipal
enemies of the citrus family, to microscopic
examination since the freeze in the hope
that he would be able to record the destruc
tion of that insect. To his surprise, how
ever, he discovered the pigmy varmints all |
alive aud kicking, although they had been
snugly tucked up in ice for twenty-four
hours. He expresed the hope, however, i
that many of their eggs were destroyed.
As was expected, tbe close of the holi
days and the terrible weather has turned
the tide of Northern aud Western travel in
this direction; aud steamboats and trains
arrive loaded with invalids and tourists.
Many ascend the river and seek the iuterior,
while many are content to remain in the
city. Proprietors of hotels, boarding houses,
livery stables, billiard rooms, etc., look ju
bilant, for their harvest is ripening and
ready for the sickle.
The loss of Mr. Hartridge of your city has
caused great regret here, where he had
many admirers aud was highly esteemed.
What an alarming mortality appears to
have invaded the ranks of the Congress-1
men, four having fallen victims within a
month to the king of terrors. Unless the
sanitary condition of Washington is improv
ed the number of aspiring statesmen bids
fair to be materially reduced aud candidates
for office will not be as thick as blackber
ries.
A writer from Tallahassee says that “Mr.
Bisbee is patiently waiting for his certificate
from the Governor.” Unless his stock of
that virtue is uncommonly heavy, he will
probably need an extra supply before he ob
tains the coveted document. Many legal
gentlemen are of the opinion that the Gov
ernor has already done all that he can in
this matter, and Is now functus officio. They
contend that the Supreme Court has already
transcended its authority in the action it has
taken, and that the further consideration of
the subject must be referred to Congress.
Bisbee, however, is arrogant, pertinacious,
industrious and one or the most accom
plished bulldozers in Florida, and will ex
haust every weapon in his armory before he
throws up the sponge. A lengthy article in
one of the city papers, over the signature of
“Reformer,” is attributed to his pen.
It is reported that most of the trials of
the persons charged with violations of the
election laws will be postponed to the next
terra of the United States Court. The offi
cers of this court have gathered many a uol-
lar from these arrests, and doubtless wish
that they could be continued ad infinitum.
A big case is now going on in the Circuit
Court, in which Judge Archibald sues Cap
tain Bentley for damages in the sum of **•*>,-
000 for slander. Both parties were o.d friends
and co-workers in the Republican rani ^ and
but little iuterest is felt except by the prin
cipals and their respective attorneys.
The Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter o
Free Masons will meet In this city next
Tuesday. The craft is in a flourishing eon,

penny articles and shows, and many a dime
is picked up from the unwary. \

Col. W. T Thompson for Con!
guess.—The Governor hns ordered an
election in the First Congressional dis
trict to lill the place of the lamented
Hartridge, and suggestions are in order
as to who should succeed him. I hough
not residents of that district, yet as citi
zens of Georgia we feel quite sure tliat
the nomination and election of Col. \\ . J.
Thompson, the veteran journalist, author
and p&Uiot, would be eminently satis
factory to the entire people of the state.
The' name of the Colonel has been pre
sented more than once before the regular
conventions of tbe Democratic paity,
and it would be a meet and fitting trib
ute to reward his long and arduous ser
vices to the country by this mark ot
public appreciation. . ,
Of course this suggestion is made
in any spirit of dictation, but is meant
sirapiy to plage before the constituency
of the First district the came of a de
serving gentleman of the Fourth estate,
who has done yeoman’s service to the
commonwealth, and would represen
her with credit in our national coun
cils. -^MaconTelegraph and Messenger.
Working Up the Grant Movement
—The gentlemen who have charge of

This is a timely bit of preparation, but it

THE DEATH OF NERO.
The Last Act in the Drama of' a
Coward’* Life.
A writer in Good Words .draws this pic
ture of tho death of Nero.
Nero wandered out into the streets of
Rome, knocked at the doors of friends;
none would answer or let him in. He
came back to his bed room, called for
Spicillus, tbe gladiator, to kill him, but
Spicillus was gone. “What!” said he to
Epapliroditus, his secretary, who had
now joined him, “liaVe I neither friend
nor foe?” and he rushed out again to
throw himself into the Tiber; but his
courage failing him and his reason grow
ing clear once more in tho fane of ap
palling calamity, he wished for some
quiet place where he might consider his
strange and sudden position and col
lect his thoughts for death. With his
head muffled up and covering his face
with a handkerchief, pressed only
in a tunic wjth an ol<] soiled cloak
thrown over his shoulder, be trudged
along barefoot in the gloom’of tbe early
twilight, accompanied by-Phaon Sporus,
and Epaphroditus. As these four slunk
out of the Nomentane gate together like
common wayfaring men, they could
hear the soldiers in the Pr.rtorian camp
on their right cursing Nero the Beast
and hailing Galba as the Father of his
country, “They are in pursuit of Nero,”
said a man as he passed them. “Any
news in the city about Nero ?” ask^d
another. There was no time to spare.
They found him a broken down horse
which he mounted and they hurried on.
At last they reached the villa of Phaon.
parched with thirst; the Emperor lapped
up some water with his own hands
from a running tank with the
bitter jest, “this is Nero's distill
ed water.” He crept quietly into
the house on all-fours through a hole in
the wall and threw Irmself on the first
mattress prostrate with hunger misery
and fatigue. Then he entered a grave
to be dug before his eyes, for he refused
to fiy. He bade them to pave the pit
with marble, and, weeping theatrically,
he prepared, surrounded by bis only re
maining friends, to play his last act.
“What an artist is now about to perish!”
he exclaimed, but ere the words left his
lips a dispatch from Rome arrived, which
he snatched out of Phacn’s hands. He
read it and shuddered. He had been
condemned by the Senate to be beaten to
death and dragged by the heels and flung
into the Tiber. Seizing two daggers he
felt their points. Greek verses occurred
to him and he began to recite. He
begged Sporus to set up a wail for him
—to kill him—to kill him first. At this
moment the trampling of horses and clash
of armed men were heard below. He
broke out in a verse from Iliad; “The
noise of swift-heeled steeds assail my
ear. ” In another moment he would be
taken alive. “Come then, courage,
man !” he cned and feebly pushed the
point of a dagger into his throat. But
his nerve was gone and Epaphroditus
came to his help and pressed it home.
The guards burst in and would have
seized him. “Is this your fidelity V he
murmured and expired, with stanng
eyes to the terror of all who beheld him.
It was his last pose, and, as the end of
such a life, it could not have been out
done. “Is this your fidelity ?” “He
had never made a better comic hit,'*
writes M. Renan. “Nero uttering a
melancholy plaint over the wickedness
of the age and the disappearance of good
faith and virtue ! Let us applaud ! as
the drama is ended and the curtain fails.
Once in history. O Nature, with a thous
and masks, thou hast baa the wit to find
an actor worthy of such a rote.”

Atlanta, January 14.—Atlanta can beat
the world in sudden and radical changes in
the weather. My last letter said the cold
snap was being followed .by mild, damp
weather.
Then came another sudden cold snap, and
that as suddenly followed by rain and mild
weather. The fact is it don’t take Atlanta
ten hours to go from one extreme to the
other.
Just think of ice carts going about selling
ice cut from our own ponds and streams,
and the next day having almost summer
weather and slight rain. To-day it is as
mild and pleasant as could be desired, al
though still damp under foot.
NEWSPAPER CHANGES.
In editorial circles th«rc are numerous
important changes, several of which are
worthy of mention.
Mr. H. W. J. Ham, late of the Old Capital,
of Milledgeville, becomes associate editor
of the Sunday Phonograph, and adds much
spicy matter to its columns.
The Christian Index comes out in’ a beau
tiful new dress, aud is wonderfully im
proved in all respects. Rev. Dr. R. \Y.
Fuller, office editor, has gone to Aiken, S.
C., for his health, but Bey. Dr. Tucker
makes good his place, and gets out a most
complete family paper.
Mr. M. E. Thornton, correspondent of
the Augusta News, the Griffin Neirs, aud
other prominent papers, is to be the At
lanta correspondent of the new Macon
Sunday Ledger, to be published by Messrs.
Speer, Seifert and Smith, lie is a live
aud energetic news gatherer.
Major Sam W. Small, of the Constitution,
assisted by Brof. Howard aud his stereop-
tocon, is to lecture in Savannah soon about
Paris and the Great Exposition. As “Old
Si” was there, aud wields a graphic pen,
his lecture will no doubt be interesting.
Before the war Col. John II. Seals, Mrs.
Mary E. Bryan and Mr. L. L. Yeazy w'ere
associated in editing The Georgia Literary
Crusader, and now Ihey are again together
in conducting the Sunny South Mr. Y.
having joined the editorial corps the past
week. This combination will greatly im
prove the paper.
minor topics.
The death of Congressman Hartridge has
cast a cloud of sorrow over many hearts
here. His name and fame were dear to all
Georgians, and his early and unexpected
death is universally regretted. No State in
these degenerate times can afford to lose
such a man from the ranks of her public
officials.
Such men do constitute a State,
If honor, intellect and worth,
Joined to a blameless life from birth
In Statesmen make a Nation great.
Mr. B. W. Wrenn, of the Kennesaw route,
and Mr. W. J. Houston, of the Air Line,
have returned from a railroad convention iu
Texas, aud report a failure in their efforts
to secure emigrant rates for parties desiring
to move back to Georgia, or other States.
The Texas Railroad influence was too strong
iu the other direction, and no change was
made of any importance. Mr. Wrenn en
deavored to obtain a rate of three cents per
mile, but “eight and seven” was one too
many to secure the passage of tbe resolu
tion, which is deeply to be regretted.
As to Texas emigration, while it is not
as largely manifest here as last year, many
families are leaving from all parts of the
State. The Legislature, at the last session,
imposed a tax of $500 for each county oper
ated in upon every emigrant agent, aud yet
these shrewd chaps are plying their voca
tion undisturbed by the Tax Collector, or
any one else. Texas floods the country with
glowing pamphlets, newspapers aud circu
lars, all handsomely illustrated, which pic
ture a land flowing with im aud honey.
Hundreds of Georgia families are persuaded
to sell out, pack up and emigrate, although
they may not have ten dollars in cash when
they have paid for their tickets. In no re
spect can they better themselves in Texas,
if they go from South Georgia. If these
emigrant agents ‘could be employed for
your section of the State, and furnished with
similar pamphlets, papers and circulars, it
would not take twelve months to populate
all your now unoccupied territory. In cli
mate, soil, health, school, church and other
privileges your section is unsurpassed. I
say this after wide observation in all direc
tion*.
IMPORTANT RAILROAD MEETING.
The Srathern Steamship and Railway As
sociation, at the head of which is Col. Virgil
Rowers, is now in session at the Markham
House.
The Central Railroad is well represented
by Col. Wm. Rogers, Mr. W. G. Raoul, Mr.
Dave W. Appier and Messrs. Whitehead and
Caldwell.
Mr. Jas. L. Taylor, the popular General
Freight and Passenger Agent of the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad, Is representing that live
corporation iu his usual efficient and digni
fied manner.
Gen. E. P. .Alexander, Col. D. C. Wilson
and Major J. B. Peck represent; respective
ly, the Georgia, the Port Royal, aud the
South Carolina Railroads, anj Col. Geo. W.
Adams the Macon and Brunswick. These
are about all, I think, from your section, al
though many are here from other railroads.
The meeting is private, yet it is known
that many important matters are to be dis
cussed, and some changes probably made iu
regard to freight tariffs. There is an ap
parent restlessness in certain quarters, aud
efforts will be made to pour oil upon the
troubled waters, and harmonize rival in
terests.
It js wonderful to gee how th^ “olff fogy”
Central Railroad looms up in these modem
times, and overshadows all her rivals.
With Youge in New York, Whitehead, Ap
pier, Mercier, Shaw and others scattered
about. Col. Wadley appears to be waking
up railroad and steamship circles like a
young giant arousing from his slumbers.
In Col. Roger; he h*s a clear neajled and
trusty right hand man, aud former op
ponents of his policy are now warmest iu
his praise. With four new and magnificent
steamships from New York to Savannah,
he is now opening up splendid “Sleeping
Car Lines” from all directions to your city
and Florida. In addition to one via Au
gusta. another via Macon, over the Macon
aud Brunswick Railroad, another via Al
bany, over the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad
to Florida, he is about to open UD t new
line, via Atlanta aqd Savannah, over his
entire road. For Savannah and the Central
Railroad, therefore, it is safe to sav a new
era of prosperity is dawning.
FINAL PARAGRAPHS.
The Rev. Dr. Vaughn will probably act as
the stated supply of the Central Presbyte
rian Church for the next six months. It is
rumored that Rev. Dr. Boggs, who married
a sister of Gen. E. P. Alexander and Mrs.
Gen. A. R. Lawton, may then become the
settled pastor. He is an eminent divine, and
would prove a most acceptable successor to
Rev. Dr. Leftwich, should “he desire to
change his present pastoral relations.
Last night was full of lively interest in
police and firemanic circles, owing to the
election of Chiefs. Gen. G. T. Anderson
(“Old Tige” of Confederate fame) was
elected Chief of Police, Col. L. P. Thomas
having become Deputy Sheriff. Officer Na
thaniel West was then elected Captain, to
succeed Gen. Anderson in that position. The
firemen elected Foreman Andrew Boos, of
Tallulah No. 3. as Chief Engineer, to suc
ceed Chief Joyner, who declined a re-elec
tion. John Foy, of No. 2, Frank Doonan,
of No. 5, and W. J. Stephens, of No. 4,
were elected Assistant Engineers. All the
officers above named, in both departments,
are experienced and efficient officials.
A great deal of anxiety is maui/ested to see
the initial copy of your Southern Fanners'
Monthly, not yet at hand, from which much
is expected in the interest of agriculture in
Georgia. The liberal management of the
Weekly News has created a most favorable
impression In favor of any publication
which may come-from that office. Said a
distinguished gentleman to me yesterday :
“I want you to continue the Weekly News
to my address this year, as my wife and
daughter would not be without it. I regard
it as the best family paper in the South in
all respects.” This from a man of thorough
culture, large experience and eminent
worth, whose opinion on such a point is
worth more than a mere passing mention.
The same opinion is frequently expressed to
me by other parties, who renew their sub
scriptions with the regularity of a signal
service indicator. Chatham.

Special Correspondence of the Morning News.
Washington, January 13.—Before the 1st
of January it wa3 stated in this correspon
dence that if the resumption of specie pay
ments was successful, the Radical party
would take much comfort to themselves
thereat, and would exalt themselves as the
saviours of the country. That prediction
has been amply fulfilled. A caucus of Re
publican Senators has just discussed re
sumption, held forth that all legislation
which brought it about was peculiarly of a
distinctive Republican origin, and that some
official action should be taken by the
Republican party as regards financial
issues. To a committee headed by
Edmunds has been entrusted the duty of
preparing for that official action. It would
seern very easy to guess what that action
will be. It will be in the shape of an “ad
dress to the country.” The Radical’s strong
point is in getting out “addresses to the
country.” To go a little further, the out
line of the address to the country may also*
be guessed at. It will review the subject\)f
resumption and all the legislation re
lating thereto. It will assert that the
Republican party shaped all that legis
lation aud procured its enactment. That it
stood up manfully for the maintenance of
the “country’s honor,” and at last, through
many dangers, brought the national financial
ship safe into harbor. There will be in the
address a congratulation to the country on
the return of specie payments and a general
jubilating. The meaning of all this is, that
the success of specie resumption is to be
one of the battle cries of the Radical party
in the future. “We prevented the Democrats
from having their way. If the Democrats
had had their way the country would have
been a financial wreck. Therefore we saved
the country, and ought to.be kept in power,
that we may continue to save it,” will be
their line of argument. So much import
ance is attached to this new battle cry by
the Radicals that some of the more conserva
tive members of the partv are in favor of
dropping altogether their other cry, “the
bloody shirt,” and making the next fight
only on the “saviour of the country” line.
It is expected that the forthcoming address
will have an enormous effect on the voters
of the country. Whether it will or not will
be seen. It woald appear rather difficult
for the Republican party to point with
pride to its record in financial-legislation,
wheu that record shows so clearly all along
the line tbe influence of the money power
aud of the gold of Wall stieit. It would
seem somewhat difficult for the Republican
party to convince the people that it ac
complished resumption, wheu every busi
ness man in the country knows
that resumption accomplished itself. It
w’ould seem somewhat difficult for the Re
publican party to say that it stood steadfast
iu demanding resumption wheu its cam
paign committee, with headquarters here,
was making bids to the Greenbackers imme
diately after the Maine elections, and John
Sherman was guiding himself very cautious
ly until it was known that the Greenbacker
was not the power in the land. And above
all it would 6eem that the Radical party
would have iusurraountable difficulties iu
convincing the country that, reeking with
fraud and corruption, it should be again en
trusted with the conduct of the government,
especially as it evidently intends to put the
embodiment of corruption—Grant—again at
its bead. The Democratic party can stand
a Radical jubilee on “resumption.” So
think its leaders.
A special dispatch to the Ne\> s informed
its readers that Senator Hill’s address to
the people of Georgia caused somewhat of
a political sensation here. It created a
great deal of talk, and has not ceased to be
a topic <*f conversation yet. The corres
pondents, especially those who work for
Radical papers, devoted much of their dis
patches and letters to the remarkable docu
ment. Most of the Radicals themselves
speak approvingly of it. The Baltimore
American, ultra Radical, says that Senator
Hill has hit Governor Colquitt “hip aud
thigh.” Most of the Radicals and Radical
orgaus are loud iu their predictions that
before the “Hill-Colquitt controversy” is
over it will break up the Democuuic
party in Georgia. The "less en
thusiastic Radicals and Radical papers do
not thiuk the immediate result will be a
split in the Democracy, but regard the con
troversy as the entering wedge which will
in time divide the Democratic log of Geor
gia. Senator Hill has received some severe
censure at the hands of Democrats for issu
ing the address. They hold as a general
thing that he should have allowed the
matter to rest as it was, and that the
report of tho bond indorsement in
vestigating committee should have been
the last of the matter. They say no good
can result from its further agitation. It is
evident that the whole subject i 0 be again
a eeneaitea in Georgia. Senator Hill is
bound to fight the' report of the committee
before the Legislature. IJe will ask the
Legislature not tq adopt, the report. This
will he another reopening of the contro
versy. There are some who think that
Senator Hill is pursuing his present course
because he wants a disruption in Georgia’s
Democracy. They say he is satisfied that
he can receive no more favors at the hands
of the regular Democracy, and wants to lead
a bolting faction. Several of his friends
have taken the pains to say that such an in
tention is incorrectly imputed to Mr. Hill,
and that he is forced to keep the bond in
dorsement question open to vindicate him
self.
The importance of carrying California at
her election next fall is as apparent tt> the
Democrats in Congress as to the adminis
tration. The latter is trying “by negotia
tions” with the Chinese Minister to bring
about a consent to a change of treaty that
will check Chinese immigration. The
Democrat* of the House intend to pass a
bill providing also for a check to Chinese
immigration. They saw at once that
the administration’s concern for the State
of California was only a concern for the
Republican party, so they are going to press
the anti-Chinese bill agreed upon by the
Committee op Educatiou and Labor. Thus
will the attempt at buncombe on part
of the administration bn beaded off. ~ F

Ylounted Policemen Surrounded in
the Bush and Shot Down in Cold
Blood.
From the Melbourne Argus.
Considerable sensation has been caused
by a murderous attack upon a party of
police at Stringvbark creek, near Mans
field. A few months ago Constable
Fitzpatrick endeavored to arrest a young
criminal, Daniel Kelly, at Greta, on a
charged of horse stealing; but a rescue
was made by the prisoner’s brother. Ed
ward Kelly, who shot the constable in
the wrist. The two Kellys, for whom a
reward was offered, have since been at
large in the ranges forming the water
shed of the King and Broken rivers.
They have been joined by two confede
rates, whose names are unknown. Two
parties of mounted police were recently
dispatched in search of them. One of
these, numbering four men—Sergeant
Kennedy and Constables Scanlan, Loni-
gan and McIntyre, camped on Saturday
last at Stringybark creek.
No special precautions were thought
necessary, because tbe party supposed
they were a long way from Kelly’s
whereabouts. At about C a. m; on
Saturday, Kennedy and Scanlan went
down the creek to explore, and they
stayed away nearly all day. It was Mc
Intyre's duty to cook, and he attended
closely to camp duty. In the forenoon
some noise was heard, and McIntyre
went out to have a look, but found noth
ing. He fired two shots out of his gun
at a pair of parrots. This gunshot, he
subsequently learned, was heard by
Kelly, who must have been on the look
out for the police. At about 5 p. m.,
while McIntyre was at the tire making
tbe afternoon lea, and Lonigan with him,
they were surprised with the cry, “Bail
up; throw up your arms.” They looked
up and saw four armed men close to
them. Three carried guns, and Edward
Kelly two rifles. Two of the men they
did not know', but the fourth was the
younger Kelly. McIntyre had left his
revolver at the tent door, aud was un
armed. He therefore held up his hands
as directed and faced round. Lonigan
started for shelter behind a tree, and at
the same time put his hand upon his re
volver. But before he had moved two
paces Edward Kelly shot him in the
temple. lie fell aud died in a few sec
onds.
Kelly had McIntyre searched, and
when they found him unarmed they let
him drop his hands. The men helped
themselves to several articles. Kelly
asked where the other two men were,
and said he would put a hole through
McIntyre if he told a lie. McIntyre told
him who the two absent men were, and
hoped they might not be shot in cold
blood. Kelly said, “No, I am not
coward. I’ll shoot no man if he holds
up his hands.” lie counseled Me I u tyre
to advise Kennedy and {Scanlan to sur
render.
Kelly then caught sound of the ap
proach of Kennedy and Scanlan, and
the four men concealed themselves, some
behind logs and one in the tent. They
made McIntyre sit ou a log, and Kelly
said: “Mind, I have a rifle for you if
you give any alarm.” Kennedy and
Scanlan rode into the camp. McIntyre
went forward aud said: “Sergeant, I
think you had belter dismount aud sur
render, as }'ou are surrounded. ” Ke ly
at the same time called out: “Put up
your hands.” Kennedy fancied that it
was Lonigan who called out aifd that
jest was intended, for be smiled and put
his hand on his revolver case. He
was instantly fired at, but not hit ; and
Kennedy then realized the hopelessness
of his position, jumped off his horse and
said: “It’s all right: stop firing.” Scan
lan sprang down and tried to make for a
tree, but before he could upaling his rifle
he was shot dowp He never spoke.
Mclntyo, believing that the men in
tended to shoot the w hole party, jumped
Kennedy’s horse and dashed down the
creek. Several shots were fired, but
none rfltched him. IJis horse, however,
was wounded, and after riding a short
distance he had to abandon the animal.
He made his way across the country to
Mansfield, where he arrived on Sunday
afternoon. A search party, consisting of
police and volunteers, at once went out,
aud recovered the bodies of Scanlan and
Lonigan; but Kennedy was not to be
found, nor could any trace of him be
discovered.

LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
dyspepsia and sick headache.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
TjAIN in the right side, under the
I 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 .vith 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 w’eariness
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 low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few’ of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
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 w’ith this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.

Good for Cohk.—What motive sent
our Alcoholic ex Excellency into Ireland
is more than we can answer. We know
that he is stupid, but the most opaque
after-dinner brain would have seen that
the attempt to capture the Irish vote of
the United States by blarneying their
relatives at home was as impudent as it
was insulting. Grant made no secret of
his afliliations with the meanest, lowest
vilest bigotry that afflicts our land, and
that for political purposes. His infa
mous order issued during the war, in
which he designated a whole class of our
best citizens—the Jews—as thieves and
swindlers, was only equaled by his speech
during his second term, in which he gave
in his adherence to the vile element out
of which was developed Know Nothing-
ism, and that had for its leader the Eight
Rev. John I J . Newman, of chimes and
hot-scotch memory. Grant kept his
Bible to throw at the heads of Irishmen,
and had just enough religion to furnish
him with profanity when he cursed them.
And j et he was demagogue enough to
steal into Ireland and offer to kiss Pad
dy s foot. Cork snubbed him, and our
respect for Paddy from Cork has gone
up a hundred per cent.— Wanhington

Hasty Legislation—The Reagan In.
ter-State Commerce Bill.
Philadelphia Record.
From tbe speed with which tbe
Reagau inter-State commerce bill was
bustled through the House, it would
seem tlmt the country i3 ou the eve of a
reign of experiments in regard to gov
ernmental interference with a compli
cated railway system. Within a com
paratively brief period, the main railway
lines have grown so great that they are
far in advance of our preconceived
notions of ways and modes of transporta
tion, and thus their existence appears to
threaten the well-being of commerce.
The aphorism of Stephenson, that
when combination is possible, com
petition is impossible,” comes forcibly to
mind, and the conclusion is reached
that the tr^nk iiues have already
combined, or are about to pool their
issues, to such an extent that inter
state commerce will be entirely nt their
mercy. The error in this assumption
lie3 in supposing mat the interests of
.he railways and those of the public are
necessarily at war witl\ each other.
Nothing coulif be more erroneous, as tbq
truth is that the welfare of both are
identical. To be sure, the management
°f fOine railways would indicate a con
trary conclusion, as is illustrated by the
oil monopoly iu Pennsylvania; but the
general truth still holds good. The
rivalry of competing lines is, at
.times, so destructive of each oiher’s
interests that it te Uiauonablc to suppose
that the several managers would welcome
an advisory government supervision, of
the right kind, as an efficient aid in ad
justing conflicting differences. It is plain,
however, that the legislation known as
the Reagan bill is not of the right sort.
This might be said almost without an ex
amination of its merits, as it is not in
the wisdom of Congress to devise, off
hand, a measure calculated to properly
adjust existing difficulties. The record
shows that the bill passed the House with
only ninety minutes debate, To propose
a radical interference with the manage
ment of $4,000,000,000 of capital without
laborious and extended inquiry, giving to
all interests the fullest opportunity for a
hearing, is a satire on the intelligence of
the American Legislature. At this
writing, it is not improbable that the
Senate will pass the bill. The New York
Board of Trade, impelled by the belief
that the entire railway system of the
country is plotting against the commer
cial interests of that city, has petitioned
for its enactment; some of the Western
Legislatures have joined in ihc cry, and
we are in a fair \\ay to see the granger
legislation of the West given the sane
tion of national authority. While it is
apparent that some of the existing
evils can be remedied by legisla
tion, the enactment of an ill-con
sidered measure will only do harm,
as its ill effects would either create such
a distrust of legislative interference as to
postpone indefinitely wise action, or it
would lead to a repetition of rash and
highly injurious laws. The thing to be
