Washington, May 29.-ihe President,
in his veto message, after stating the
osiu purpose of the legislative appropri-
aiion bill, whiohhe returns without his
approval, says; “This moneyReeded
to keep in operation the essential funo-
UouS of .11 the great departments of the
Government—Legislative, Executive and
Judicial. If the bill contained no other
provisions, no objection to its approval
would ho made. It embraces, however, a
number of clauses relating to subjects of
crest general interest, whioh are wholly
nnconneoted with the appropriation
which it provides for. Objections to the
oraoiica of tacking general legisla
tion to appropriation bills, especially
when tho object is to deprive a co
ordinate branch of the Government
of its right to a free exercise of its own
discretion and judgment touching such
general legislation, were eet forth in a
special message in relation to House bill
number one, which was returned to the
House of liepresentatives on the 29th of
last month.
He regrets that the objections which
were then expressed to this method of
legislation have not eeemed to Congress
of° sufficient weight to dissuade them
from a renewed incorporation of general
onactments in appropriation bills and
that his constitutional dnty, in respeot
of the general legislation thus placed be
fore him, cannet be discharged without
seeming to delay, however briefly, the
necessary appropriations by Congress for
the support of the Government.
He then quotes the clauses repealing
the sections of the revised statutes in re
lation to the supervisors of elections and
deputy marshals, and states that the bill,
if spproved, would repeal or amend sec
tions of the act approved May 30tb, 1870,
and amended February 20,1871, entitled
as set to enforco the rights of citizens in
the United States to vote in the several
Suites of thi3 Union and for other pur-
poser, and says tho true meaning and ef
fect of proposed legisla t ion ore plain.
Supervisors with authority to*observe and
witness the proceedings at Congressional
elections will be left, but there will be
no power to protect them or to prevent
interference with their duties, or to pun
ish any violation of law from which their
power are derived.
It this bill is approved only a shadow
of authority of the Uoited States at the
national elections will remain. The sub
sistence will be gout; the supervision will
bo reduced to a mere inspection without
authority on the part of supervisors to do
; ny act whatever to make the election a
fair one; alt that will be lett to the super
visors is permission to have such over-
eight of elections as political parlies ere
in*the habit of exercising, withont any
authority of law, in order to prevent tbeir
opponents from obtaining unfair advan
tages. The object of the bill is to de
stroy any control whatever by the United
States ever congressional elections.
The passage of this bill has been
urged upon the ground that the election
of members to Congress is a matter which
concerns the States alone—that these
elections should be controlled exclusively
by the States; that there are, and
cm be, no such elections as na
tional eleotions, and that the existing
laws cf the United States regulating Oon-
giesiional elections, are without warrant
in the constitution.
Ho then quotes the constitution to
show that the framers of that dooument
regarded the eleotion of members of Con
gress in every State sa justly a matter of
politioal interest and conoern to the
whole country, and refers to the law pass
ed to 1866, which prescribed rail end de
tailed regulations for the election of Sen
ators by the legislatures of the several
States, and says: This law has been in
force almost thirteen years. In pursu
ance of it all members of the present
Senate of the Uoited States hold their
seals. Its constitutionality is not called
in question. It is confidently believed
uo sound argument osn be made in
sopport of the constitutionality of
the national regnlation of the Sena
torial eleotions, which will not show
that the eleotions cf members of the
House of Representatives may bu also
constitutionally regulated by national
authority. f
The bill before me itself recognizes the
principle that Congressional elections are
not State elections, but national elec
tions. It leaves in lull force the existing
statute under which supervisors are Btill
to be appointed by national authority to
“observe and witness" Congressional
elections, whenever application is made
by citizens who desire said elections to
be "guarded and scrutinized."
It power to supervise in any respect
whatever Congressional elections exists
under section 4th, article 1, of the Con
stitution it is a power which, like every
other power belonging to tho Govern
ment of the Uoited States, is paramount
and supreme and includes the right (o
employ the necessary means to carry it
into effect.
He concludes as follows: This bill
recognizes the authority and duty
of the United States to ap
point supervisors to guard and scru-
inize Congressional elections, but denies
the Government of the United States ell
power to make its supervision effectual,
i he great body of the people, of all par-
hes, want free and fair elections. They
oo tot think that a free election means
freedom from wholesome restraints of
J»w, or that the place of election should
•>«» sanctuary for lawlessness and crime.
On the day of election peace and good
®'der are more necessary than on any
other day of the year. On that day the
humblest and feeblest citizens, the aged
»nd infirm, should be—should have rea-
*on to feel that they are safe in the exer

graphic intelligence has been received at
Lloyds: An engagement bos taken place
off Iqique, Fern, between the Chilian
wooden vessels Esmeralda and Cavadon-
ga and the Peruvian armor-plated frigate

Mr. Gibson, from the Committee of Ways
and Means, reported a resolution provid

Mr. Atkins it was laid over till Saturday.
Tho biU placing vessels and bulks of
the navy at the disposal of the commis-
sioners of the quarantine, reported by
Mr. Goode, was amended by inserting the
words “with the approval of the National
Beard of Health,” and it was passed,
The veto message was received from
the President, laid beforo the House and
was read. It was listened to with close
and, for a time, almost respeotfnl atten
tion, only .an audible titter went tbrongb
the Demooratic ranks when the sentence
was read as to the effect of the existing
law being to seonre honest elections.
Again, when the sentenoe was read as to
what good faith, honest endeavor and ju
dicial authority can do for the protection
of the eleotive franchise, the Democrats
laughed onlright, and the Bepubltcans,
as a counter demonstration, applauded.
Mr. Cox wanted to have the sentence
read again, bnt hia wish was not grati
fied- At the conclusion of the reading
the Bepnbliosns again applauded. The
Honse prooeeded to vote on the bill, and
refused to pass it over the President’s

Washington, Ma7 29.—To tho Senate,
on Mr. MoDonald’s resolution to refer
to the Committee on Eleotion Frauds
the petition of the oitizsns of Bhode Is
land, complaining of a deprivation of
tbeir right to vote by reason of the prop
erty qualification in that State, an anima
ted debate on the relative apportionment
of votes in the different States arose, in
which Blaine, Hill and Vance took port.
Blaine said that the small voles in the
several districts of Georgia and other
Sontbern States was undoubtedly caused
by intimidation.
This was denied by Hill, who explained
that where only one candidate was nomi
nated the people did not tnra ont, and a
small poll was the natural result. He ab
solutely denied the intimations of fraud
made by the Senator from Maine.
Vance spoke to the same effect.
The Senate then took up the bill rega-
latiog the use of the militia and the land
and naval forces.
Mr. Wallace moved an amendment,
and spoke at length, denouncing certain
uses of the ermy and favoring tho present
bill.
The river and harbor bill was then ta

and Conkling against the bill. Wiiile
the latter was epeaking a motion to ad
journ until Monday prevailed.

fered the following resolution: That the
committee on Ways and Means will re
port to the Honse daring this session of
CougreEB a bill repealing the duty on all

consider at this session any biUB or joint
resolutions affeetiog the revenue, and
that ell such measures shall b> laid over
until the regular session in December,

resolution.
The chairman, (Gibson, of Louisiana)
overruled"the point of erder, whereupon
Conger appealed. The decision was cot
sustained, and Felton’s resolution was
therefore defeated.
Washington, May 29.—William P.
Kellogg has to-day addressed a letter to

paoiis the effiv-r, and thst subpeosas are
to be filled up npoa their arrival there at
Spoffora’d dictation. He complains that
be cannot procure evidence to meet
Spofford’d testimony, unless he- is in
formed who are the witnesses whom the
latter proposes to oril, and that if he
waits till they arrive to ascertain he will
not have time to get bis own witnesses
here before Congress adjourns. He,
therefore, asks that he tlio be furnished
with blank subpoenas, in order that he
may be placed on an equality with his
contestant.

Spabtanbubg, S. 0., May 28,1879.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Hav
ing accepted an invitation from the
Presbyterian Sunday School ot this place
to visit “the mountains” with them a
short time since, yonr correspondent was
placed in great enjoyment.
The plcnie was a success. For the
benefit of yonr valued readers who are
now thinking offlying for rest and fresh
air, I want to mention a spot where they
may go, and to bring before the people
au enterprise, which Georgia has comeito
the front and carried through—the won
derful railroad called the Spartanburg
and Askville Railroad. It was began in
1866, bat was soon suspended for want ot
fends, so many were ekeptiool of its
ruccess, especially of its passage over tho
.'Blue Bidge Mountains; Since, however,
by the liberality of B. Y. MoAden, of
South Caroline; W. H. Inman and Gen.
Alfred Austell, of Georgia, and the per-
heveranco of Maj. Jaa, Anderson, its re
ceiver, this great iron path has wound its
way over the Blue Bidge, and will soon
connect Western North Carolina with the
thriving city of Spailanbnrg, S. C.
About twenty-seven miles from Spar-
tanbnrg we arrived at Trion Monntain,
a monntain resembling ( historic “Kennes-
saw,’’ of Georgia. From this poin the
scenery is aim i t inls-’cribably beauti
ful. The road winds its iron way along
the valleys, at the ba33 and upon the
brow of high mountains, and over
streams, which dash in wild pace far be
low the railroad.
From Tricn to Mellwood, a distance of
nine miles, we passed mountains, some
of them reaching almost to the cloude;
the eye rests in blissful ecstacy upon
their green and azure summits. An'oc
casional rill, as it is hurled down the
monntain, like some va3t profusion of
sparkling lace, adfs new vigor of onr
rapturous gaze. As .re crept slowly
along a hillside, immediately on one side
was the lofty brow of the mountain, on
the other and below us dashed the foam
ing Pacalette river. One would think
that it was nature’e great laundry day.
and the white in is performed perpetnal
ablation.
From Millbrook to Salm’e, a distance of
three miles, there is one of the most won
derful piecss of railroad in the world.
The grade for the first mile is 237 fees,
aod in the three miles the grading exceeds
600 feet. On some of the grades, just as
wo are passing over a hill, away np above
the river, and in a deep ont of over 86
feet, there is a curve of ten degrees. I
sat upon the engine and watobed this im
mense machine, creep, like an animated
monster, np this rocky path, and praised
man’s ingenuity. The register snowed,
in the three mile3,160 ponnds of steam—
didn’t vary one pound, even on the
onrves. The engine was “wooded np’’ six
times inside of the three miles. Twenty
minutes were consumed in making the t a ‘
distance. This seems an impossibility, | 88 8 waoner *
bnt it is so. The engine is a thirty-fire
ton “Mognl,” made for the road, and has
every modern improvement attaohed to
it, air brakes, eto.
There is not a tunnel on the road. The
road bed is made of decomposed granite.
The care taken in tho cousirnation of the
road is ehown by every feature. The
Sampson flanged fish piste is
used. The Whorten patent switch being
used, there is not a break in the m«io
line, consequently no “switch accident’
can ooour.
that “happy valley.”
I do not propose to speak of Trion
Talley, as some have in the past; bnt I
simply state facts unembelished. This
valley is about one and a half miles long
and a quarter of a mile wide, and owing
to the formation, being protested from all
cold winds and enjoyiog a fine southerly
exposure, there has never been any kill
ing frost in the valley. Think of it, a
spot about 1,500 feet above the level of
the sos, in the very crest of the Bine
Bidge Mountains, never having frost suf
ficient to the extermination of vegetables,
when only a few miles over the moun
tains the vegetable kingdom has been
killed effectually every yearly frost.
The snow will melt in this valley,
while a few miles away np the mountains
the thermometer stand twenty degrees
belowzero; and the enow np there holds
its stainless drapery defiant to the
son’s rays. The difference in time of
harvest in the valley and a few miles over
the mountains, is about five weeks Sa
luda i* nine miles from Trion station and
is 1,100 feet higher altitude. Anywhere
between Tricn and Saluda a consumptive
could hardly die of the disease.
The road will reach Henderson, North
Carolina, in a few days. Asbvilleis
twenty miles beyond. Passengers for
Aehville reach it by a coach drive of about
five hours. «.
At Spartanburg there has just . been
completed one of the most perfect ar
ranged summer hotels in the South. It
handsome brick building, with all
the modern improvements, electric bells,
etc. It is kept by Captain C. C Chase,
formerly of the Mansion Home, Green
ville, Sonth Carolina. Letters to him
from suffering invalids and pleasure
seekers will receive prompt replies. The
Air Line Bailroad sell very cheap tickets

Mb. W. T. Feat.—An old pupil psye
a most just and feeling tribute to the
worth of this deceased educator in the
colatnns of the Savannah ZIorningKeics
from which we extraot the following:
He was a gentleman of scientific cul
ture, exhaustive, thorough and correct in
his mastery of all the matters he taught.
He wa3 a constant student, versed in the
principles of science. He was a born
teacher. Elis methods of communicating
knowledge were original and masterly
He took great pride in his calling and
illustrated it. He was a genial gentle
man, fall of bonhommie. He wae
hearty and social as any one I ever knew,
He would sometimes in the midst of a
lesson 8 top the recitation and ulk for a
half honr in the most agreeable manner.
He was full of illustration and comment
ary. I can recall his ringing, contagious
laugh. He had a wonderful sympathy
with a fresh, bouyant boy, and we all
loved and respected him. He was gen
erous, hospitable,kind-hearted,chari table
courageous, abhorred deceit, loved and
practiced truth, and is a type of teacher
that is not often seen. He never forgot
his pupils, but kept up with them and
took warm interest in their subsequent
careers, I never went to Savannah with
out caUing on him, end his greeting was
always cordial.
It is said that Mr. Fea7 was born to
means, but spent them extr >vagantly.
Finding his money gone, he firmly tamed
beok npon his errors, and with sturdy in
dependence settled down to the nnacus-
tomed drudgery of teaohing. It is said
also thst ho had a love affair; that the
lady died, and he remained faithful to
her memory. He never married. He
was a true man in every sense of the
word, and a myriad of gentlemen scatter
ed over the country will reoall hia virtues
and the recollections of his ministrations
Spurgeon on Himself.
At the “annual tea and suppei” given
te the friends and supporters of Mr.
Spurgeon’s “Pastor’s College” in London,
Mr. Spurgeon said that ho need to have
no end of enemies; whether they wore
all dead he did not know, but they were
much quieter than they used to be.
There were his friends of the Chufoh of
England. Did he evei refuse to speak
all he thought about them ? And yet one
of tha first things ho received in the
course of his illness was a letter from the
Bishop of his diocese to express hia ex
treme sorrow, a letter and book from the
Dean of Chester, and another letter from
Archdeacon Law, of Gloucester; also,
another from a very high churchman,
whose name be would not mention, be
cause he was so dreadfully high, ail ex
pressive of deep love to him. It seemed
strange te him that such a grumpy indi
vidual as himself, and one who could
grumble so very loudly, should be treated
so kindly. He began to fear he must
have been doing eometbiog wrong, and
he began to question his conscience; but
on the whole he could not remember un
faithfulness in bi3 utterances. He re
joiced in the conduct of the brethren con
cerned, and returned to all their affec
tion. Whenever anybody saog his praises
ho sank to the very lowest in spirit direct
ly. but on his being abased up went his
spirits, and he defied the very devil him-
self when it came to a fi'bt.
The excursion party that went from
Buffalo; to Niagara on Wednesday,
witnessed the awful spectacle of a man
going over tho falls. Pi Walker we a ono
of the most daring of the guides when
sober, and when drunk was foolhardy.
On this day he was drank at Port Day
several miles above the falls, and under
took to row in a small boat to Goat Is
land. This feat is always dangerou*.
because if a landing is not skillfully
made the boat may be carried into the
rapids, but Walker had frequently ac
complished it. On this oocasion, how
ever, ho was incapacitated from intoxi
cation. Fivo hundred of the exouision-
ists, standing on the Goat Island bridge,
saw him coming down stream on the
American side. He bad lost control of
the boat, esc of the cars was displaced,
and he wa3 cowering helplessly on the
seat. The boat struck on a hardly sub
merged rock, and it seemed for a moment
that escape was possible, bnt the man
was too dazed to act quickly. Instantly
he was hurried into the rapids. The
craft was shattered against another rock,
and he was thrown into the water to be
flung over the cataract and disappear.

marks were as follows:
I should like to be a boy onco more for
to-morrow, to take my place in the ranks
and march with you, and hear you talk
and see whether you are like Georgia
boys or not. From what I see I do not
think there can be much difference.
There is one thiDgfor which I should
like to be a boy again. I should like to
go with you to help you carry your ban
ners and sing your songs, but I should
like to be a boy once more that I might
call back for a little while my mother
•from bevond the ekies. I should like to
kneel at her feet and look up into her
clear, calm eyes once more, and beg her
if ever in my boyish waywardness I had
planted a thorn in her heart that she
would forgive me, and then to feel her
warm, tender hand Lid once more upon
my bead in loving tenderness and
forgiveness. If 1 could feel that once
more, I should be willing that she should
go back to her bright place among tho
stars. Now, boyB, I thank you all, and
am ready to join hands with you in the
march to the upper kingdom. [.Prolong
ed applause.]
Afterwards a magnificent reception
was tendered tho Governor and his wife
at Mr. Smith’s residence, No. 395 Wash
ington Avenue. On this occasion a
splendid basket of flowers, five feet in

A Snake Stunnib.—Sumter Repub

He immediately gothiB gun and shot the
snake twice, and then had to caU Mingo
Glaze, a colored man, for assistance in
killing if. He oat the snake open after-
wards,and found inside of it three turkeys
and a chicken. Says the snake was eight
or nine feet long and abunt two feet in
circumference. It had twelve rattles,
which we now have in the office. It was
on ngly customer, and Jessy says that he
now intends leaving Georgia, for when
ha finds such snakeB in two hundred

^INiobo Mobtalitz.—Griffin News:
For several years past, there has seemed

the colored population of this oity. This
increase, during the present year, -fa&e
been notioeable. On Sunday, just pass
ed, there were laid out for burial three
negroes whom disease had stricken down.
We are unable to acconnt for this mor
tality. The oity has never been in health
ier condition than it is at present. The
oity has never bzen freer of disease, and
with onr white population the mortality
is remarkably light. The only solution
seems to be a want of cleanliness and
attention, especially medioal attention
amoBg the blacks. The mcrtality among
them is sufficiently large to atiraot some
attention, and if the rate increases, it
may beoome necessary for the authorities
to investigate the matter. The health of
onr colored population is a matter of con
siderable interest, and we should see to it
that disease and destitution among them
receive proper attention.

Veto No. 3.
The telogramr bring ns a synopsis of
veto No. 3 It. is a document of arlic
coolness. For while Mr. Hayes does not
hesitate to charge that the object and
design of tbis bill is to abolish the safe
guards to fair elections, and tor partisan
ends to invade and destroy &n honest
ballot, ho studiously ignores the lasts
that these laws have gone far to place
the elections in the hands of the most
notorious, unscrupulous and corrnpt
partisans, and that the record of their
practical operation is proven to be
ono of almost nnmixed and unmitigated
fraud. He would havo tha country be
lieve the Democrats of Congress fall of
the moBt sinister and iniquitous purposes,
and Johnny Davenport and other super-
visers like him, armed with these acta of
Congress, are guardian angels of the
ballot. The message amounts to a gross
insult to Congress.
As to the constitutional argument ot
the mes3age, it is sufficient to say that
never, until it beoame necessary to get
‘outside the Constitution,” in ordsr to
deal with eubjugated States and can-
quered peoples, wessaoh asoheme as s
general supervision of the polls centraliz
ing in Washington thought of. It is an
idea spawned in the festering heat end
oorinptlon and tyranny of civil war, pub
lio disorder and a carnival ot pnblio plun
der. It belongs to the darkest era of the
Espublio, and most perish with the restor
ation of the ancient ideas of civil liberty
and Lori self-government.
Hayes eoents extreme danger to a free
ballot under the protection ot thirty eight
States—edministered by differing politi
cal parties—having differing interests and
views, and each more or Isss a check
upon the other. The very olatlor about
local eleotion frauds, whioh now fills the
papers, shows how closely these flutes
and parties watch eaoh other, and what a
restraining Influence they exert. It may
be wholly impossible to prevent all frauds
under lha system of State control, bnt the
experibcos of the country for nearly a
hundred yeaxs never suggested the change
which the Bidtoals have made and seek
to perpe:nate t until they determined to
practically abolish free eleotions and es
tablish a Federal control of tbe ballot,
which should enable them to perpetuate
their control of the government.
But while Hayes sees awful danger in
a control cf tbeir elections by each of
the thirty-eight States lot itself, he is
able to see only safety in the manipula
tion of these elections by half a score of
radioal partisans plotting for themselreB
and party in a baok room in Washington
Ciiy, and holding at that finger-endB the
civil, military, financial, legislative, ju
dicial and executive power of the United
States—substantially controlling the mail
transportation and post-offices, and all
other publio offices—wielding at their
command a hundred thousand office-hold
ers—spending three hundred millions
yearly, and holding in tbeir hands to
large a port of the means of popular ben
trol -hat bnt little seems to be left.
Not Nd 1 Hayes is aot able to Bee dan
ger in putting the elections in the States
under au:h control as this. The parti-
tans who wield all this power have oeaaed

From 1857 to 1869, he was a resident of

Ab the war record of men is generally con
sidered in connection with aspirations for

nuw Adjutant-General ot tho - tatu can bear
testimony of his nob:e nearing as a soldier
in tbe ranks and as a citizrn.
Geu. Dickinson never lost a battle daring

Mr Arnow lived during the war During
that time the General and Mr. A. were often
together in and cut of the field and were
much devoted to each other. Most of the
time Mr. A. was a member of Oapt. F. B.
Dudle 1 ’e company. He was also 8ta a Sena
tor and editor of tbe Cotton States, the lead
ing paper of East Florida, and no man ever
bred in a seo ion of country who was more

i to their cuunsris and were fast friends of
his.
Judge Arnow has had a splendid training
and is well qualified to fill nearly any posi
tion with honor and he his a puro character
as the great foundation to stand upon. He
has corn in tbe practioe of law since 1859,
just twenty yesrs and a man of very clear,
ogical and legal mind. He is a persen of
great force of ouaraoter, being fall of enngy
and zeal. He is loll of tact as well ae talents
and withal is remarkably modest. Few men,
it any, are his superiors in moral and physi

Tbe New Remedy for Neuralgia
The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Courier, referring to his recoveiy from
dangerous illness, eays:
I mention this illness that I may tell
you how easily I was cured. I was bent
double. I conld not breathe. My phy.
sipian ordered me to take a flat-iron and
heat it as hot 03 I could bear, put a
double fold of flannel on the painful
part, and move the iron to and fro on the
flannel. I was cured by enchantment.
My doctor told me that eome time since
a professor in one of our colleges, after
suffering some days with neuralgia in the
head, which he himself had tried to care,
sent tor tho former, who prescribed a hot
flat-iren. The next time the doctor saw the
professor the latter exclaimed, “I had no
sooner applied the heated iron to my head
than instantly all pain had vanished.”
My physician was summoned recently to
the bedside of a woman who had neural
gia in both sides, and eo violent that she
alarmed tte whole neighborhood by-the
screams which her intolerable anguish
wrung from her. She was taken from
her bed and borne near the fire. In such
severe cases a heated iron is not energetic
enough. He has an iron rod fastened to
au ivory handle. He heats this rod to a
white heat (which causes less pain than
a red heat) and applies it very slightly
to the eeat of tbe pair, first in longitudi.
nal, and then in ladiludinal lines. The
application is so slight that no trace is
left bnt red lines on $ie epidermis, which
are soon effaced. In twenty minutes the
woman walked back to bed, and the third
day afterward quitted It, entirely freed
from neuralgia. This instrument is not
to be intrusted to awkward hands.
True Inwardness ot tbe Nrgro
Exodus.
Curs best, Ga., May £8,1870.
Editors Telegraph A Mwaangnr—The an
nouncement in the press dispatches yester
day that President .Hayes opposes the negro
exodus, so much written about and so Utile
understood of late, is only ono ol the steps
in an undertaking, but hopeless, coup de
main, to ho:d political power m tbe Union
by the atoh leaders of the Bepublioan party.
And again the unfortunate negro ia to be
the aupplient tool and sufferer.
The grand idea of the BepublicanB was
universal suffrage for the negro and pro;
ecription to white men, so as to secure the
vote or the houthsrn States by the votee of
negroes, carpetbaggers and scalawags. Ex
penses has demonstrated to them what we
knew at fir.t—that iu the face of the Anglo-
Satxen of the South, h.s former master—
the African ia an unreliable politioal ma
chine when the management comes from
another part of ths Union. Of course it is
hopeless where the whites are in the ma»
jery. And they have found that the whites
can carry elections even wb re the black
voters are in the ascendency, ffbsy do not
wish n:w to expend their money on carpet
baggers and scalawags, and negro speakers
ie the vain hops of electoral votes in the
South. For they know as wed aa we do, that
these States will vote for the Democratio
candidate tor President and elect Senators
and Bepresentatives to Congress thst art
Democratic, or who will, when eleoted, act
With the party in Congress.
If every negro voter in the South waio re
moved to Africs, it wonld ha no rou to the
Bepublioan party ia the count of the eleo-
torial college. But In ths North—the States
that have the balance of power between the
certainly Bepublioan States and the solid
Eoulb, are to be the bittlo field in 1889, and
a negro whose vote to noeleea in Georgia,
will coant aa much as a truly loyal white
in that struggle.
Tbe exodus means the transfer of enough
negro voters from the warm and genial
South where the negro is aoolimstod and has
all the true friends among white people ho
ever bad ox over will have, to tits oofd and
inhospitable North to perish and die out,

—Tho New York Times presents crop re
ports from every 8tate in the Union exoept
those on the Pacific coast, and they have ev
idently been obtained with nnnenal care and
research. Tte general conclusions an moat
gratifying. The promise of agricultural pro
ducts this year ia that they will certainly be
above the average and probably will be larg
er than ever before. There wiU be t large
surplus of wheat and com for export, with a
fair prospect of a remunerative foreign mar
ket, and the surplus of pork, beef, lard, but
ter and cheese will also be equal to any pre
vious year Tbis data not only inauree a
balance of trade in favor of tbia country, but
it assures abundant food for all classes
at reasonable priois, which will sttsmialo
onr manufacturers now entering into active
competition wiih those cf foreign nations.
While wages are low, tits industrial reports
given in tbe same paper prove that ‘'employ
ment is more uniform and businoea to moro
active than for a long time,” If the indus
tries of the eountrjr conld now get Urn poli
ticians ont of the way, the preeent year
would mike rapid strides towards rubstan-
tial prosperity.

Gentlemen : I have had the honor tore-
ceivejyour letter of the 3d tost, covering res
olutions of a “joint caucus of the Democrat
ic members ot the General Assembly of ftp
State of Illinois.” It is baldly nececsiry for
me to say that I am In favor of pertoet free
dom of eleotions from the interference or
the presence of any part of the army at the
>o11b, bssanse that opinion was emphatlcai-
y expressed on the floor of the Senate.
This is a government of legal authority,
founded ou the Constitution and ths laws
made in pursuanoe thereof. One of the
grievances of which onr forefathers com
plained wai that the King had quartered
troops on them, and sought by military pow
er to coerce them into submission. It to lit
tle leas than a public scandal, after b centu
ry cf national existence, that any party oould
venture to sek the people’s approval of a
species of tyisnny that is forbidden ip Eng
land and wharevor elee the parliamentary
principle is respected. Yoty truly.

THE GENUINE
DK.C.McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. _
P \IN in the right side, under tho
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 with 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 m 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 weariness
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 ever}’ 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
••vdvise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
for all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un-
equoled.
BEWARE OT IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid,' with the impression Dr.. McLane’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLane’s Livek Pills
hear the signatures of C. McLane and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver ?;li.s, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the
market being full of imitations of the
name McLane, spelled differently but
same pronunciation. j
