It Is an undeniable fact that no article was ever plaoed before the public with so rnuoti undis puted evidence of its great medical value, as the YEQETINE. For every eomplaint for which Vegetixi: Is recommended, many testimonials of what it has done is furnished to the public at large, and no one should fail to observe that nearly all of the testimonials are from people right at home, where the VKGETINK Is prepared, and as tho streets and numbers are given, there can be no possible doubt about the matter. „ „ Boston, Dec. 17,1872. H. R. Stereos, Esq.: Dear Sir—May I ask the favor of you to make my ease public ? In 1861, while on picket duty in the army, I was taken with a ,nt, which lasted all night. Was taken into camp and dosed with whiskey ami quinine. After this had fits everv day', and was taken to Newbern Hospital, and there treated l>r the attending physicians. I grew worse and was sent home. Remained in poor health for four years, treating witli many physi cians and trying many remedies. Finally Scrof ula made its appearance on different parts of my body, and my head was so diseased as to bo frightful to look at, and painful beyond endur ance. After trying the most eminent physicians, without improvement, a change of climate was advised. Have been to tho Hot Springs in Arkansas twice, each time giving their treatment a thorough trial. Finally carno back to Boston, discouraged, with no hope of help. Life was a burden to oue in my situation. Mv disease, and the effect of so much powerful medicine, had so damaged my system that the action of my stom ach was apparently destroyed, and my head was covered with ulcers which had in places eaten into the skull bone. The best physician* said my blood was so full of poison they could do no more for me. About this time a friend who had been an invalid told me Veoetixk had restored him to perfect health and through his persuasion I commenced taking V EGErixK. At this time i was having Jits al most every day. X noticed the first good effects of \ KGETixu in my digestive organs. .My food sat bettor and my stomach grew stronger. I began to feel encouraged, for 1 could sec my health slowly aud gradually improving. With renewed liojie I continued taking the Vkge ii.NK, until it had completely driven (liucase out . of my body. It cured tlio fits, gave me good pure blood, and restored me to perfect health’ which I had not enjoyed before for ten years’ Hundreds of people in tho city of Boston can voucli for the above facts. Veuetixe lias saved my life, and yon are at liberty to make such use of this statement as pleases you best, ami 1 beg of you to make it known that other sufferers may find relief with less trouble and expense than I did. it will afford me great pleasure to show the marks of my disease or give any further infor mation relative to my case to all who desire it 1 am, sir, very gratefully, JOHN PECK, No. 30 Sawyer street, Boston, Mass. Twenty-Seven Years Ago. H. K. Stevens, Esq.: Dear Sir—This is to cer tify that my daughter was taken sick when she was three years old, and got so low that we were obliged to keep her on a pillow, without moving to keep the little thing together. She was at tended by several physicians the regular at tending one being old Dr. John Stevens. Tliev all pronounced her case incurable. She hail been sick about a year, when hearing of the great Blood Remedy, Vboetixe, I commenced giving her that, and continued it regularly till she was about seven year* old, when she was pronounced pertectlv cured. During her sickness three pieces of hone were taken from her right arm above the elbow, one of them being very long Several small pieces were also taken from her ielt leg. She is now twenty-seven years old, and 1* enjoying good health, and has ever since she wag seven year* old, with no signs of Scrofula or any other blood disease. Her arm is a little crooked, but she can use it almost as well as the other. Her legs are of equal length, and she is not in the least lame. Her case was Scrofula inherited in the blood; and 1 would recommend a 1 those having Scrofula Humor or any other blood disease, if they wish to have a perfect cure, to try Vegetixe, the reliable blood rem edy, which docs not weaken the system like many other preparations recommended, but, 011 the contrary, it is nourishing and strengthening. My daughter’s case will fully testify this, for I never saw nor heard of a worse form of Scrofula. HULDA SMITH, 19 Monument street, Charlestown, Mass. MBS. SARAH M. JONES, April ,0 18-0 ™“ street ’ Charlestown, Mass.

A 1100 k among the bills; a little farm ■Whose fertile acres yield us daily bread: A homely, low-browed dwelling, snug and warm, With wide blue country-skies bung over head. No costly splendor here, no gilding glow; No dear-bought piotures hang upon the walls; But bright and happy faces come and go And through the windows God’s sweet sun shine falls. We are not rich in heaps of hoarded gold; We are not poor, for we can keep at bay The poor mans haunting spectres, want and crime— Can keep from owing debts we cannot pay. With wholesome plenty is our tablo spread; With genial comfort glows our evening fire; The fierce night winds may battle overhead; Safe is our shelter, though the strife be dire. When days grow long and winter storms are o’er; Here come the first birds of the tarly spring, And build their cunning nests beside the door, Teaching sweet lessons as they work and sing. Here come our friends—a dear and cherished few— Dearer, perchance, than if they numbered more; We greet them with a hand-clasp warm and true, And give them the best we have in store. What though the rooms be small, and low the root ? What though we can but offer simple fare ? It matters not; so friendship’s warp and roof Are spun of gold, for these we need not care. We watch the great world surging like a sea; But the loud roar of winds and waves at war, Subdued by distance, comes melodiously— A soft Rud gentle murmur, faint and far. We see the small go up, the great go down, And bless the peaceful safety of our lot. The broken sceptre, and the toppling crown, And crash of falling thrones—these shake us not. We have some weary toil to struggle through, Some trials that we bravely strtve to meet We have our sorrows, as all mortals do; We have our joys too, pure, and calm, and sweet. Such a life too even in its flow ? Soo silent, calm, too barren of event Its very joys too still? Ido not know; I think he conquers all who wins content. DOWN TO A BUSINESS BASIS. They had been married about three months. The boy from the store ap peared with a note from her husband. She clutched the precious missive with an eager head, tremblingly opened it and read: Dear "Wife: Send me a pockethand kerchief. John. She went slowly to the drawer to get the desired article, and while look ing for it she came across the follow ing note, dated two weeks after the wedding: Sunlight of My Soul: You will have to send me a handkerchief. Your be witching eyes so turned my head this morning that I forgot to take one with me, for which I shall kiss the s veet face of my own a thousand times when I come home. In two hours and twenty minutes it will be 12 o’clock, and then I can come to my beautiful rose. I long to fly to you. A thou sand kisses I send thee, my fairy wife. Yours tenderly, John. She sighed, gave the boy the hand kerchief, aud sighed again. COLORED LABOR. The colored people of this county have worked harder, and have been happier the present year than any time since the war. They have learned by sad experience that they cannot live on politics, and that it is either work, steal or perish, and all the better class ofthe colored people prefer the former. A great majority of them would never meddle with politics if it were not for a few mean white Radicals iu the county who want to use them to de feat the wishes of the intelligent por tion of our population. The colored people are, however, beginning to re ahze the true situation, and to under? stand the motives of the white scalla wags who boast that they carry the colored vote of the county in their side pockets. The colored people will learn that under Democratic rule they will have more liberty, more peace of mind and more corn-bread, bacon and beans than they ever enjoyed, when under control of the Ridical party, and the sooner they learn it the better for them and the country.—Griffin News. Mr. J. Van Barerr, of Clarksville, Georgia, claims to be the oldest living railway engineer in the Uuited States. In the year 1832 the Schenectady and Saratoga Railroad went into operation, and in that year imported a locomotive from England, made and named after George Stephenson. An English en gineer came with it, but as he was in poor health, Van Buren often took his place. The engine is still held a curi osity in Schenectady. Mr. Van Buren is seventy-five years old, and for the last thirty-five years has lived on his farm in Georgia.—Harper’s Bazar, June 16. Hot alum water is the best ins-ct destroyer known. Put the alum into hot water and let it boil till all the alum is dissolved; then apply it hot wi h a brush to all cracks, closets, besdsteads, and other places where the insects are found. Ants, bed-bugs, cockroaches and creeping things are killed by it; while it has no danger of poisoning the family or injuring the property.—Journal of Chemistry. The water is just warm enough for little boys to drown without danger of catching cold. GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 3, 1877. THE TEACHERS’ SERIES—No. 2. Letter from Jackson County Schools Opening—Educate the Brain as Well as the Muscle. Pleasant Hill School, Jackson County, Ga , July 19, 1877. Editor Gainesville Eagle. —On the morning of the 9th inst., according to previous appointment, the patrons of the school, with a goodly number of children, met. After some time was spent in lively conversation, we pro ceeded to the affairs of the school. The first thing in order was to elect a board of trustees. The following gentlemen were nominated and unani mously elected as a Board of Trustees for the ensuing term, viz: A. J. Wills, Chairman; J. O. Browning, Martin Eberhart, James Bryan, W. J. Comer. These gentlemen are wide-awake to the interests of their neighborhood, and the welfare of the young. There are children enough in this district to make a school of over fifty scholars. The people of this section are gener ally able to give their children a good education. It is hoped that the peo ple, not only in this section, but all over the State of Georgia, will take greater interest in educating tho Bons and daughters of our own well favored laud. They have as much muscle and brain as is needed to make men and women. The muscle has been culti vated, now cultivate the brain. Edu cation is what we need here in these Northern and Northeastern counties of Georgia Nine-tenths of the peo ple have means enough to give then children a good English education. Education will come; and is comming to their doors. The question now is with them, whether they will educate their children or not. E. M. O. LETTER FROM FULTON-No. 3. Another School Opened. Oak Grove, July 18, 1877., 4 Editor Gainesville Eagle.— Being desirous of reading your paper, and letters of the “Petagogue Fraternity” of the N. G. A. College, I endeavor to write you a few lines in compliance with the request you made, of the stu dents going out to teach in the com mon schools of this State, during our commencement. On returning home I found all enjoying the pleasures of rural life, busily engaged in their daily avocations. After making some pleas ant visits amongst my friends, asso ciates and relatives, I commenced ray school 9th July; organized with a small school, but it is increasing very fast, and in a short time it will be very full; have been gettiDg along well; have my school well classified, and everything is moving off with un usual zeal. This being my first com position that has ever been offered to the public, I close with my kindest re gards to you and all my “Petagogue fraternity.” J. H. A. LETTER "ROM LUMPKIX NO. 4. A School at Walioo—Lively Interest in Education—Abundant Schools and Luxuriant Props. Waiioo, Lumpkin Cos., July 26, 1877. Editor Gainesville Eagle: Not being willing to let your kind offer and the chance which I have for improving in this branch of education pass, I gladly comply with your request made in Dahlonega during Commence ment of the N. G. A. C., by sending you a short communication for the Eagle. I arrived here on Saturday the 14th, and much to my pleasure found a hearty welcome among people who are kind and obliging. But, as you know, this is nothing strange for North Geor gia. As to the school interest of this county, it is alive. This district, ac cording to subscription, will send something near 100 of her hard work ing, bright-minded, and deserving children, (between 6 and 18 years of age) giving 40 to 50 to each school. I am happy to say that this county is blessed by having the opportunity of sending the great majority of her children to school this fall; as but few have to stay at home for want of teach ers. lam also glad to inform the public that more interest is being man ifested by the parents in the support of schools than heretofore. Wheat is estimated to be above an average crop. Rye is very good Oats, nearly a failure, owing to the drought in May and June. Corn has the ap pearance of being better than last year, and as a general thing has been well cultivated; and from close ob er vation I find an unusual amount of this profitable grain planted. The heavy rains during last week brighten- ed the hopes of not only the farmers but all. Now, Colonel, as I have noth ing to say about my “sweet” I will close. W. F. L. A. J. Eberhart has opened a school at Cave City. We cannot supply the back numbers requested. Sticking to the Old Lino or Sectional Hate. ' This is from the Maine Standard, a Democratic paper of the genuine metal, and one of the ablest conducted journals in the country. The following article is a fair specimen of its prin ciples and its editorial powers. We appropriate it in toto: The line of policy to be pursue 1 by the rnichine Republicans in the future is now plainly discernable. The war upon the South is to be kept up and all the devilish arts of demagoguery 'Will be constantly invoked to keep alive the fires of sectional hate and an imosity. A ‘solid North’ against a ‘solid South’ is now their desire as a means of continuing their control and opportunities to plunder the people. The North is numerically the strongest and if sectional hatred can be fanned to an ext nt sufficient to override other considerations and govern popular ac tion, the North will control the pat ronage of the government and machine politicians will continue to riot on the public treasury. Blaine’s opposition lb the annexation of Southern territo ry while he desires the annexation of the Canadas is based on this idea of a continued political war between the North and Souih. He believes the success of his party and the gratifica tion of his personal ambition depend upon the result of a contest between sections and hence would like to en large the boundaries of his section while restricting those of the other. Trotting out Packard aud Chamber lain to harangue the people and fire the Northern heart is another clear ind cation of a purpose to embitter and inflame sectional passions. The action of the Republicans of Georgia and Mississippi, in declining to make any nominations shows very clearly the part which the carpet-bag elements have been instructed to play in this effort. Knowing that a test of strength at the polls without the aid lot fraudulent Returning Board ma chinery would disclose their utter weakness, they are to ‘cry baby,’ lie down and pretend that they are afraid to vote for fear of having the breath knocked out of their worthless carcas ses by ku-klux bull-dozers. Thus when the carpet-baggers can be no longer utilized as a basis for Returning Board victories they are to be put to use as crushed, bull dozed and enslaved brethren, whose deliverance from bondage and death wiil be urged as the paramount duty of ‘Christian statesmen’ and ‘latter day saints.’ It is to be a repetition of ‘bloody shirt’ campaigns with the pretended enslave mint of the entire Rupublican party, white and black, by bull-dozers, added. Of course the usual amount of mur ders, blood and horror will not be omitted. This is the kind of feast to which the people are invited. Perhaps it will be acceptable to them, but we do not believe it. A great majority of the voters of the country declared for peace and fraternal relation between the sections by casting their votes for Tilden & Hendricks at the last election and none of them will be likely to for sake the paths of peace to return to the ways of hatred as the dog does to hii vomit. Time is the great healer of animosities as well as wounds, and the farther the war of the rebellion recedes into the dead past, the more difficult it will become for the evil disposed to revve its smouldering embers. The present Republican administration is in harmony with the Democratic party on this subject, and will by its wise course of action towards the South add greatly to (he numbers as well as moral power of those who are opposed to the continuance of a sectional war fare that must inevitably be disastrous in its effects upon all except those who may,succeed in obtaining power and plunder upon such an issue. It is true that the masses of the Republican party are such stupid slaves to its un scrupulous leaders, that they will vote for anything and everything that they are ordered to, however disastrous the consequences to themselves, but there is yet a percentage of the party that cannot be thus controlled. Business men will not always be content to see their interests languish and suffer in order that strife may continue for the benefit of demagogues and political mountebanks. All these and many more influences will continually oper ate to thin the ranks of the party of hate and swell the numbers of tboa who seek for that prosperity which is always found in union and peace. The power of sectional animosity, once so potent for evil, is broken and will never again govern the action of a free people. Hot ah Hades. —“ Standing upon the hill-tops around Cincinnati and look ing down on the sweltering mortals in the ‘bottom’ reminds one of Lazarus looking down in the ‘bottom’ at Dives.’ —Enquire.

And the Secretary of the Treasury may dispose of such bonds at any time, nt the market value thereof for the coin of the United States, or for any of the Treasury notes that have been or may hereafter be issued nnder the provisions of this act; and all stocks, bonds, and other securities of the United States held by individuals, corporations or associa tions within the United States, shall be exempt from taxation by or under State authority.” GREENBACKS FOR BONDS. One currency for the government and the people, the laborer and the office holder, the pensioner, the soldier, the producer, and the bondholder THE BONDHOLDER The bondholder demands gold for his bond; the soldier must must take greenbacks for his pension. The bondholder demands gold for his bond; the laborer must take green backs for his daily toil. The bondholder demands gold for his bond; the farmer and mechanic must take greenbacks for their produc tions. The soldier’s pension of sls was worth about $lO in gold, when the bondholder’s sls in gold was worth $22 in greenbacks. SI.OO would buy as much as $1 50 in greenbacks. The bondholder obtains his gold and he grows richer; the soldier, the labor er, the farmer and the mechanic must take the greenbacks, and they grow poorer. The bondholder pays no taxes upon his bonds, for they are exempted by by law; the soldier, the laborer, the farmer and the mechanic, pay their own taxes, and the bondholders too. The bondholder gave greenbacks for his bonds. He has drawn the interest in gold, and now he demands gold for the principal. In 1863 the average value of a greenback as compared with gold, was seventy-one cents; in 1864, fifty cents; and in 1865, fifty nine cents. In 1864 the bondholder paid $250 in gold for a SSOO bond. He has drawn interest in gold upon it, to the amount of $l2O, which was worth at least S2OO in currency. If his bond is paid in gold he has cleared $250, worth now $375, and this added to the interest makes a net profit of $575 in four years on an investment of $250. The gold to pay both principal and interest comes from the tariff that the government lays on a poor man’s tea, coffee and sugar, for all other taxes are paid in currency. Every pound of tea pays twenty-five cents in gold to the bondholders’! Every pound of coffee pays five cents in gold to the bondholder ! Every pound of sugar pays four "cents in gold to the bondholder ? The whole debt is now two thousand millions of dollars. In one month the bonded debt was increased sixty-seven millions, thus adding nearly four mil lions of annual interest to the burdens of the people at a clip. Sixteen hundred millions of the debt, are by this contract payable in greenbacks; if this is paid in gold it adds eight hundred millions to the value of the bondholder’s claim, and to the terrible load that now oppresses the people and destroys their business. The bondholders demand that labor and production shall be taxed for their benefit; they claim they are a priv ileged class, and exempt from taxa tion. Pay the debt in greenbacks, and you reduce the burthens of the people. Everything we eat, drink and wear,are now taxed to pay the bondholder. Pay the debt in greenbacks and you pay it in the currency the bondholder gave for his bond. Pay the debt in greenbacks, and you stimulate industry and invigorate bus iness. Pay the debt in greenbacks, and you pay it according to contract. The bondholders say pay the bond holder in gold. The people say pay the bondholder according to his con tract. THE POEPLE WILL WIN. Always speak well of the dead, and once in a while a good word of the living, if you have the time. HAS SHE KEPT HEJi FAITH !

Resolved further, That the ques tion whether Atlanta shall be the per manent capital be submitted to the convention, to be by that body de ciaed, or submitted to the people, as it may deem most expedient.

A copy of this memorial signed by the Mayor, and certified to by the Clerk of Council under the seal of his office, shall be presented to the Consti tutional Convention, and when the seat of government shall be perma nently located in Atlanta, as above stated, then the proposition herein contained, if accepted, shall be a bind ing contract on the city of Atlanta. City Clerk’s Office, ) Atlanta, July 18, 1877. f I hereby certify that at a called meeting of Mayor and Council held this day at the Mayor’s office, a full board being present, the above memo rial was unanimously adopted; and at a meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen held the same day, a full board being present, the same was unanimously concurred in by them. N. L. Angieu, Mayor. Frank T. Ryan, Clerk of Council. A STATEMENT IN DETAIL OF THE MONEY EXPENDED BY THE CITY OF ATLANTA, IN PAYMENT FOR THE OPERA HOUSE. It appears from the evidence before us that the city of Atlanta, in 18G8, made a proposition to the authorities of the State of Georgia that, if the capital should be located at Atlanta, that they wo lid furnish, free of cost to the State, for and during the term of ten years, a Capitol. At some time in the year 1868, the city leased fora Cap itol a portion of what was known as the Opera House, which was then in process of erection, from H. I. Kimball, for the space of five years, at the price, or sum, of $6,000 per annum. On the 4th day of December, 1868, the city of Atlanta issued to H. I. Kim ball sixty bonds, af SSOO each, which were to become due at the rate of $6,- 000 per annum. These bonds were turned over to Kimball, the Opera House was com pleted, and on the day of , 1868, the State of Georgia took charge of the Capitol, thus furnished, and have occcupied it ever since. In the year 1870, the State agreed to purchase the building that bad been thus leased by the city of Atlanta, and to pay for the same the sum of S3BO, 000; the city of Atlanta agreeing, in the meantime, to pay a sum in the ag gregate of $130,000 for and on account of the Capitol, and to bo relieved en tirely from the first obligation to fur nish a Capitol, free of cost, to the State for the term of ten years. The cify of Atlanta did, accordingly, on the 23d day of August, 1870, make and deliver to the State a certificate as follows: STATE OF GEORGIA —CITY OF ATLANTA. To whom it may concern : The Mayor and Council of the city of Atlanta hereby certify that there is due from the city of Atlanta to the State of Georgia the seven per cent, bonds of said city to the amount of $130,000, which said bonds said Mayor and Council propose to contribute toward the purchase, by the State, of the Kimball Opera House and which said proposition has been accepted, and the purchase lias been made, said bonds are to be delivered to the holder of this certificate upon the return thereof. This certificate was deposited by H. I. Kimball w’ith the Governor, to in demnify tho State against a certain mortgage for $60,000 that was out standing against said property, thus purchased. On the 25th day of August, 1870, H. I. Kimball gave to the city the follow ing receipt: Received of the City Council of At lanta, thirty thousand dollars of bonds, which they have contracted to give the State in part payment for Capitol building. The bonds of the city of Atlanta, to the amount of $200,000, were pre pared, bearing date October 29, 1870, and on the day of December, 1870, E. N. Kimball presented the before mentioned certificate to the city au thorities of Atlanta, and they delivered to E. N. Kimball $75,000 of bonds of the city, and E. N. Kimball delivered up said certificate to the citv authori ties. At the time these $75,000 of bonds were delivered to E. N Kimball, some question aro:-e between the City Coun - cil and KirnbaU about interest. This question was settled between Kimball and the City Council, and on the 31st of December, 1870, the balance of SIOO,OOO of the city bonds were deliv ered to Kimball. How this certificate of SIOO,OOO, that was ..placed in th ) hands of the authorities o r the State, for the protection of the State again fc the mortgage that was outstanding against the Capitol building, got out of the hands of the Executive of the State NO. 31 and into the hands of Kimball, while the mortgage was still in full force against the property, is a question that your committee have not been able to determine. We learn that there is an investigation now being had in the courts of this State that may throw some light ou tnis question. Our in vestigation does not, however, justify the conclusion that the city of Atlanta had anything to do with this certifi cate, after it was placed into the hands of the State, until it was presented and the bonds were demanded. Ou the contrary, after a patient and careful investigation, we are satisfied that the city of Atlanta has acted in the utmost good faith, and that they have nearly paid every dollar that they have agreed to pay toward the purchase of the Capitol building. It appears that at the time of the purchase of the Capitol by the State that there was a mortgage of $60,000 outstanding and unsatisfied against tae property, which was to be paid be fore the certificate was delivered up to any one, and thereby leave the title unencumbered. This, for some reason, was not done, and since that time this mortgage has been foreclosed on this property by B. H. Hill & Son, attorneys for holders of the mortgage. On the 19th day of July, 1876 the city of Atlanta paid off and had transferred to them the judg ment and fi. fa. that had been obtained on the foreclosure of said mortgage,for which they paid the sum of $79,233 91. This fi. fa. and judgment is still held by the city of Atlanta, with an agree ment entered into between Governor James M. Smith and the city of Atlan ta, that said fi. fa. should not be en forced against said property so long as the Capitol shall remain at the city of Atlanta. We have made a personal examina tion of the books in whieh the bonds of the city are registered, and we are satisfied that the bonds of the city were issued as above stated. It gives us pleasure here to state what we had heretofore doubted, that in all things, as far as we can ascertain after a care ful investigation, that the city authori ties have not only paid all that they ever agreed to pay toward the Capitol, but that they have taken up, in addi tion thereto, which they still hold, the mortgage, judgment and li. fa. previ ously referred to. That the State has been greatly wronged in the perchase of the capitol we do not doubt, but that the fault is attributable to the city authorities of Atlanta we have no reason to believe. MINORITY REPORT. The undersigned, being a minority of the special committee appointed to report upon the question of locating the capital of the State of Georgia, beg leave to submit to the convention the following ordinance, and recommend its adoption: M. W. Lewis, S. Hall, B L. Stephens, F. C. Furman. Be it ordained by the people of Georgia, in convention assembled: Ist. That the question of the loca tion of the capital of this State, be kept out of the Constitution to be adopted by the convention. 2d. That at the first general election hereafter held for members of the General Assembly, every voter may endorse on his ballot “Atlanta” or “Milledgeville,” and the one of these places receiving the largest number of votes shall be the capital of the State until changed by the same authority, and in the same way that may be pro vided for the alteration of the Consti tution that may be odopted by the convention—whether said Constitution be ratified or rejected. Verily They Have Their Reward. Cowgill of the Florida Returning Board is to be U. S. Marshal of Dakota Territory. The Delegate from that Territory protests against the appoint ment, but the President, according to the Daily Advertiser, declares that Cowgill must have it ‘because the Democrats will not permit him to live quietly in Florida, but have ostracised him on account of his Republicanism.’ This is doubtless an excellent reason, according to the new rules of civil ser vice reform. But there are others. Cowgill was one of the three members of the Florida Returning Board who effected the count of the vote of that State first for Hayes and the Republi can candidate for Governor, and then, on a revision of their work, reversed enough of their former findings to count in Hayes and the Democratic candidate. These counts were declared fraudulent by the Supreme Court of the State, by the Committee of Con gress and by those who witnessed the busines, including not only the Demo crats but also Gen. Grant’s own wit ness, Gen. Barlow. Gov. Sterns and Secretary McLin have already received 1 heir rewards, each having been ap pointed to office in the West, and now Cowgill is to be provided for. It can j not be charged that President Hayes is ungrateful. The appointment of all the members of the Louisiana Retur ning Board to fat offices in the New Orleans Custom House has shocked the moral sense of the country; and now that it is seen that the perpetra i tors of the great fund in Florida are ! paid off in the same way at the ex | pense of the nation, it may well be asked what the professions of honesty put forth by this Administration I amount to —Post. i South Carolina Republicans will j make no nominations for the next campaign.
