Washington Correspondence of the Sun.
Washington, Nov. 13, 1872. I
The President is anxious to have all lo- j
cal differences in the Radical party in the
States healed, and a movement to that end
has been set on foot. This, of course,
does not include any of the Liberal Re
publicans, who are to be severely dealt
with. Trumbull, Fenton, Schurz, Sam- j
ner and Tipton, in the Senate; Blair, !
Banks and Farnsworth, in the House; are
at once to feel the heavy hand of defied
power. The President in his desire to
reconcile local differences, runsoounter to
Senator Cameron, to whom Pennsylvania
is now bound hand and foot, and who says
he will permit no recognition of any one
who tried to defeat the Radical ticket in
October. Notwithstanding the mandate
of Cameron, backed by the politicians,
who swear vengeance against the traitors.
Col. Forney, the chiefest of them, has
been taken under the wing of the Admin
istration —Grant fearing his power—The
Press. Cameron will follow Forney like
a sleuth hound, and in his desire to crush
him, will run against the President. What
the result will be none can foretell. One
thing certain, after the victory which
Cameron achieved in Pennsylvania, vir
tually deciding the Presidential contest,
he will scarce permit Forney to bask in
the rays of the sun which he placed in the
political firmament. Forney and Came
ron cannot revolve in the same sphere
around the White House luminary.
YOUNG MEN’S CHBIBTIAN ASSOCIATION.
The loung Men’s Christian Association
of this city, is at present engaged in quite
a Ravage conflict with the clergy on ac
count of the Association holding Habbath
services in their Hall, which attracts
largely from tho churches. The brief ad
dresses, congregational singing, free pews,
polite and attentive ushers, are tho rea
sons assigned for tho popularity of these
services. This good work does not meet
the approval of the rogular reverends,
who, forgeting their mission of saving
souls, act like mercenary theatrical
managers who would shut up rival thea
tres in order that their business might
thrive. A Miss Smiley drew immense
congregations to the Y. M. C. A. Hall
sometime since, and she is the chief point
of assault on the part of tho irate clerical
gents who draw poor houses. Drs. Ran
kin, Butler and Dashiel do not approve of
putting women in tho pulpit, the latter
saying “that if she is pretty, you are all
the more affected.” The geucral opinion
among those who frequent tho Y. M. C. A.
rooms is that truth is truth, no matter
where uttered, and none the less so when
coming from the lips of a pretty woman,
and the community generally agree that the
motives which actuate tho wliito-cravated
gents is more material than spiritual. As
Sir Patrick O’Pleniposaid, “It is a mighty
nice quarrel as it stands.”
IF NOT, why not ?
The negroes aro determined to havo full
recognition for their political services by
having one of their race in the Cabinet.
They cast nearly one-fourth of the votes
which re-elected Gen. Grunt, and person
al and party gratitude demands a quid
pro quo. Good enough for Senators and
members»of Congress, there can be no
personal objection to thoir being in tho
Cabinet, On tho score of ability, either
Fred. Douglass or John M. Langston, both
being named for a Cabinet position, are
the equal of a majority of Grant’s advis
ers. The Radical press is trying to throw
cold water on this demand, but the ne
groes declare that now is the time to as
sert their claims. It was thought that the
position of Solicitor General in tho De
partment of Justice would bo offered as a
compromise, but tho successor of General
Bristow, who will formally resign in a few
days, lias already been selected, and it is
neither Douglass nor Langston. Tho con
venient cry of personal fitness without re
gard to race, color or country, will hardly
suffice to satisfy the negroes who do not
underrate tho 800,000 votes which they
cast for Grant, other than curses and
chickens come home to roost.
CONGBESS.
Our law makers will assemble on Mon
day two weeks ; quite a number of Sena
tors and members aro here already look
ing for winter quarters. Considerable
legislation will ho perfected during the
coining session. The oft presented and
as oft defeated French spoliation bill will
be pressed. The friends of the Australian
Mail steamship company are confident of
the passage of the hill granting a subsidy
sufficient to enable them to continue the
liue of steamers to Australia, so ably and
energetically maintained by Mr. W. H.
Webb, of New York, without Government
aid or even encouragement. The pros
perous condition of England’s commerce,
under a judicious system of subsidies, as
contrasted with our crippled commercial
condition, is a strong argument in favor
of a similar policy by our Government.
The trade of the Atlantic is almost en
tirely in the hands of European nations,
and if Mr. Webb is not sustained in his
enterprise against the power of tho Orien
tal and Peninsular steamship company,
which received large subsidies from its
Government, the already immense and
fast growing trade of Australia will be
absorbed by England. The value of the
trade of the Pacific, naturally ours on ac
count of our great railroads to that ocean,
and the advantages arising from tho open
ing of now markets for our products and
manufactures, cannot be estimated.
A REASON AS IS A REASON!
James Italian has in bis time been many
things—a minister of tho gospel, United
States Senator, Secretary of the Interior
and now editor of the Chronicle of this
city- and aspirant for the portfolio of
Secretary of War in ease of anew deal,
it remained for .looms, through his minis
terial lore, to determine exactly the cause
of Grant’s overwhelming re-eleetion. It
was. lie says, because tho professed Chris
tians of the country wore on the Republi
can side. Further, that “In almost oven
pulpit in the land and in a large majority
"! the Christian homes of the country,
prayers were offered for the success of the
Republican cause.” “The result shows
the extent as well as the efficacy of these
appliances.” The pious training of Jeems
makes him a believer in the dynamic test
“i " u ‘ for< ‘° ot prayer even in carrying
elections. Now, Simon Cameron believes
that cash and sharp work did it. This
only goes to show how co-workers in the
same field will differ as to causes. Cam
eron said, that this election must 1m car
ried by money; the ex-itev. Harlan whines
out that prayer did tho job. I trust the
latter reason will suffice to settle theques-
Tion.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Secretary Boutwell was thrown into
quite a pucker by apprehensions of a
financial panic on account of tho great
iive in Boston, but as the money market
lias not been materially affected bo has
subsided. The notorious Gen. O. O.
Howard, of Freedman's Bureau fame, has
is ( n spoken of to fill the Major-General
ship made vacant by the death of General
Meade, nurnside has also been named
m this connection. The President
wili -ask Congress to aid Boston in her
extremity. The receipts of the Internal
Revenue Bureau for the present fiscal year
have been estimated at $105,000,000, or
$30,000,000 less than last year, with a
national yearly increase of three per cent.

Ogeechee wntes.thus to the Savannah
News;
The prevailing opinion at the Capital
seems to be that the contest (for U. S. !
Senator) will ultimately be between Gen. i
Gordon, Gen. Benning, ex-Gov. Johnson j
and Mr. Hill. At present, Gen. Gordon j
seems to have the inside track, though
“Old Rock,” as Gen. Benning is familiarly
called by his friends, has great strength
in all parts of the State, and deservedly
so. No truer man fought or bled for the
cause of Southern rights from Gen. Lee
down to the private whose bones were
turned over by last summer’s plough ou
tho field of Gettysburg. Ex-Gov. John
son is also very popular with the older
class of our people, and Mr. Hill has more
friends than many suppose. Col. Fielder,
if a candidate, will lead off with a hand
some vote from the Southwestern coun
ties, reinforced by some from the North
ern and Northwestern. It is still believed,
however, by politicians here, that when
the candidates shall reach the home
stretch, Gordon and Benning will be
found ahead, and that if either of them,
from any cause, should retire, the other
would Vie chosen.

may visit Atlanta during the approaching
session of the Legislature, if his health
will permit, and address the members and
the people generally upon the political
topics of the day. Ogeechee, despite of
this, reiterates the opinion that the contest
will ultimately be between Gordon, Ben
ning, Johnson and Hill, with the chances
decidedly in favor of one of the first
named.
Ogeechee writes as follows to the same
paper:
THE SECOND CONGBESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Gen. Gilbert J. Wright, the Democratic
candidate in the Second Congressional
District, has filed his application with the
Governor for the certificate of election,
and notified his opponent, Whitely, of his
intention to contest his right to the same.
Gen. Wright contends that he received a
majority of the legal votes polled. By the
returns as made out and now in the office
of the Secretary of State, it appears that
Whitely was elected by a very small ma
jority—less than 50—when in fact Gen.
Wright contends many of these returns
and votes are fraudulent, illegal, void.
He says the polls were opened at “Jones’
store,” in Dougherty, where no precinct
had ever been established, and not at the
precinct regularly established by law for
the District; and that Whitely received at
said place 203 more votes than he did.
He contends also that at a precinct in
Thomas county, called Duncansville, 220
majority was given to Whitely, and that
the election was held by two managers,
neither one of whom was an offieer or
freeholder.
GENERAL WRIGHT VS. WHITELY.
If General Wright can establish these
facts, he will be clearly entitled to the
certificate of election from the Governor.
The law provides that certain officers and
freeholders shall superintend elections
for Congress, and that the election shall
be held at the county site and such pre
cincts, not more than one in each militia
distinct, as shall be established by the or
dinary. Neither political managers nor
bodies of the people can chango the pla
ces, any more than they can change the
times for holding elections; otherwise a
majority of the voters in a district might
be left in total ignorance of a place where
they could deposit their ballots, and be
thus deprived of the right to vote at all.
So, too, only particular officers and de
scriptions of persons can superintend
elections. But for these wise provisions
of the law, a few unscrupulous partisans
might get together at times and places
previously agreed upon by their associ
ates, hold an election, and claim the re
sult as the true voice of the people.
TESTIMONY TO BE TAKEN.
A time and place will be agreed upon
by Gen. Wright and Mr. Whitely, where
testimony will be taken by suitable per
sons and sent up to the Governor, who,
after examining the same, will issue the
certificate of election to tho one in his
judgment entitled to it. The present con
test, therefore, is before, the Governor,
for the certificate of election. If his de
cision should be in favor of Gen. Wright,
Mr. Wheitely will of course prosecute his
claim to the seat before the House itself.
The certificate will seat the person hold
ing it; and throw the burden of conduct
ing the contest upon his opponent.

The best information in Atlanta is that

Cromwell’s “Lucky Day.”
Missouri Republican, 3U September.
Oliver Cromwell had a right to call the
3d of September his “lucky day.” It was
the anniversary of his two greatest tri
umphs. On the 3d of September, 1650,
as the first rays of sunlight gilded the
hill tops of Dunbar, he saluted the bright
omen with the sublime words of sacred
writ—“ Let the Lord arise, and let his
enemies be scattered”—and struck the
blow which destroyed the last remnant of
royalist strength in England. On the 3d
of September, 1051, he met the army of
Charles H. at Worcester, and gained a
victory—or, as he termed it, “a crowning
mercy”—which left him the undisturbed
master of England. Nor, from what we
know of the character of the man, is it
probable that if he could have looked for
ward to the event which transpired on
the 3d of September, 1658, he would have
thought that day less fortunate than its
illustrious predecessors. Lying on his
death-bed he was heard to murmer faintly
—“lt is not my design to drink or sleep,
but my design is to make what haste I
can to be gone”—and so, in the midst of
one of the fiercest storms that ever swept
the sea or shook the land, the imperial
soul laid aside the garments of earth and
passed into the shadows of the unknown.
He died as he lived, at the right time.
He had performed the work assigned him;
there was nothing left for him to do, and
he was ready and willing to go hence, and
render an account of his deeds to that
God whose chosen instrument he was.
They buried this grandest of English
princes in Westminster Abbey, but tlireo
years afterward—January 30, 1661—the
minions of a cowardly monarch dug up
the body, dragged it to Tyburn, hung it
on a gallows and then placed the dissever
ed head upon the battlements of West
minster hall, where it long remained a
mark of Stuart vengeance, and a ghastly
token of tho only victory his enemies ever
achieved over Oliver Cromwell.
Looking back across the two centuries
which have felapsed since then, it is not
difficult to impartially estimate the nature
and the tendency of the mission which
Cromwell performed. It is no exaggera
tion to say that the better part of the
liberty, which England enjoys to-day, is
directly or indirectly ascribable to him.
Charles I was not a bad man; indeed, we
are inclined to think that aside from a
seemingly incurable propensity for lying,
he w r as the most respectable member of a
not very respectable family. But it was
his misfortune to live in an era when the
public mind of England was beginning to
assert itself; when the people, heretofore
mere hewers of wood and drawers of
water, roused from their long and death
like lethargy, and reached forward feebly,
yet anxiously, toward that larger freedom
which they had di e tmed of but never pos
sessed. Had Charles been wise enough
to read the signs of the times, and yielded
gracefully to the element he was power
less to crush, thfre might havo been no
Commonwealth, no Cromwell, and the
Stuart dynasty might now have occupied
the British throne. But, filled with the
ideas implanted by that clumsy tyrant, his
father, he determined to defend the abso
lute prerogative of kings, and so brought
on the struggle he ought to have avoided.
That struggle would have ended in the
consolidation of despot ism had it not been
for one single man. The parliamentary
party contained a sufficiency of wisdom,
patriotism and courage, but it lacked a
leader; and not until that leader came was
there the smallest symptom of succoss.
It w’as a memorable morning for England
and the world when the member from
Cambridge made his appearanoe in the
House of Commons.
Sir Philip Warwick gives us a quaint
picture of him: “He wore a plain cloth
suit, which seemed to have been made by
an ill country tailor; his linen was plain,
and not very clean; and I remember a
speck or two of blood upon his little hand,
which was not much larger than his collar.
His hat was without a liat band; his stat
ure was of a good size; bis sword stuck
close to Ilia side; his countenance was
swollen and reddish; his voice sharp and
untnnahle, and his eloquence full of fer
vor. Yet it lessened much of my rever
ence for that great council that this gen
tleman was very much hearkened unto.”
Courtly Sir Philip could not seo be
ueath the coarse and uncouth exterior of
the Huntingdon farmer any indications of
greatness; yet this man in badly-fitting
clothes and soiled linen was the predes
tined chief for whom the English people
were waiting. When Cromwell entered
parliament in 1850, the deliberations were
nothing more than useless, aimless talk;
he infused into them his own inexorable
purpoHo, baptised fcLoixx with hie own tiro,
pointed out the object in view, and showed
how it might be gained. He never rose
to speak without having something to say;
his speeehes wore packed with ideas,
which dropped like good seed into fruitful
ground, and bore abundant fruit. When
the time for speaking was past, and the
time for fighting arrived, he bloomed out
into a heaven-born soldier; and from the
moment ho led his Ironsides into the field,
the royal cause was irrevocably lost. He
breathed into the army his own indomita
ble soul, and thereby made it invincible.
How could the gallant cavaliers, who
fought for glory and the king, stand be
fore the gloomy Roundheads who fought
for duty, and country, and God?
That Oliver Cromwell committed many
and grave errors, none will deny; but that
he laid the foundations of constitutional
liberty in England, and thus helped to es
tablish it in America, is a fact which no
honest and intelligent student of history
will venture to dispute. And when the
paraphernalia of royalty and aristocracy,
now tottering to its fall, shall crumble
into the irremediable ruin which awaits
it; then, perhaps, republicanized England
will not he ashamed to remember and ap
propriately observe Cromwell’s “lucky
day,” the third of September.
It seems that the aspirations of the ne
gro for Cabinet honors are again to bedis
appointed. A Washington letter says;
“The colored aspirant for Cabinet honors
(Langston), has met the fate that has be
fallen the long line of white predecessors
whose “claims” and chances were prema
turely advertised hy themselves or parti
sans, his name being only mentioned with
derision and his self-asserted rights re
pelled by tlie President’s friends and the
local politicians of his own color.”

Nearly all Diseases originate from Indi

lief Is always anxiously sought after. If the
Liver is Regulated in its action, health is
almost invariably secured. Want of action in
the Liver causes Headache, Constipation,
Jaundice, Pain in the Sho lders, Cough,
Chills, Dizziness. Sour Stomach, bad taste
IN THE MOUTH, BILIOUS ATTACKS, PALPITA

for which SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR
Is the best remedy that has ever been discov

is harmless in every way; it has been used for
40 yea us, and hundreds of the good and great
from all parts of the country will vouch for its

The Symptoms of Liver Complaint are un
easiness and pain in the side. Sometimes the
pain is in the shoulder, and is mistaken for
rheumatism. The stomach is alfected with
loss of appetite and sickness, bowels in gen

The head is troubled with pain, and dull, heavy
sensation, considerable loss op memory, ac
companied with painful sensation of having
left undone something which ought to have
been done. Often complaining of weakness,
debility and low spirits. Sometimes many
of tho a. ove symptoms attend the disease, and
atother times very few of them; but the Liver
is generally the organ most involved.
