him as any man in tho State, and would
that be could now clasp the un
fortunate defendant in bis arms, bat duty
to the State demanded a stern verdict.
He said it wbb through no spirit of pet
eecution that he had voted to sustain the
charges contained in every ono of the
seventeen articles of impeachment, but
Otcaucfc he thought the defendant guilt;
of tbe chargee. He favored the infliction
of n penalty that would be a warning to
futnro office holders. The saddest re
flection of all was tbs foot that Georgia
was held np all over the Bepnbbc as a
diBbonest State—a Stato whose officials
were all corrupt. He hoped that there
was yet enough honesty left in the State
to save it. My God 1 My God! Come
to the relief of my country!
Senator Hudson said he was in favor
bf removing from office, but not for dis
qualification for futnre holding of office;
that if the rule is enforced tbe result
would include all the sheriffs, tax collect
ors and executors in the State; they go
free, but the wrath of Georgia must be
visited on tbo bead of tbe Comptroller
General.
We have found him guilty of setting a
bad example in office. The Comptroller
could have done much worao than he did;
and we should sot inflict the highest
penalty.
Tho speech of Mr. Bower was one of
tho best and most classically constructed
appeals delivered in the Senate Chamber
for many a year. Tbe Senator argued
calmly from the Constitution, from histo
ry, from tbe light of experience, and from
the present sxigenoies of the country,
that the sentence in fall should be in-
flioted, and that it was the duty of every
Senator to ac‘, and aot folly in this ma •
ter.
The speech made a profound impres
sion and reflects the greatest honor on
tte talented young Senator.
Senator Bryan addressed the Senate in
favor of the motion of Senator Howell,
Counsellor Hopkins said that the de-
fenu. nt, by his oonnsel, wished to make
a further statement.
Senator Harrison said he had no ob
jection.
Ihe question was pnt to the House on
hearing the statement and agreed to.
Senator Preston asked that if the de
fendant’s counsel wished to make their
statement alter tbe debate on the part of
the Senate that they oould do so.
Senator Holcombs moved that if the
ctuaatl of tbe defensobe allowed to speak
that .the managers te also allowed to
make whatever statement they desire.
Pending this question the court ad
journed till 8;80 p. in.
The Senate also adjourned till 3:25 p.

Detroit, September IS.—President
Hayee and party were reoeived npon the
landing of the steamer Northwest by the
Mayor and the city officials, the govern
ment officers and a large nnmber of citi
zens. AC eleven o’clock, lie was escorted
by the city militia to the Fair grounds,
where he made a speech.
The President alluded to the reunion
of the Twenty-third Regiment the year
before and tbe changes which inter
vened. Tho gratifying financial improve
ment of the section was qaoted.
In speaking on what has been accom
pliahed by the war, he said: “We all
know that tho men who planned tho de
struction of tho Union and tho establish
ment of the Confederate States, based
their attempt on a construction of the
Constitution oalled the State’s tights
doctrine, and in the interest of the people
of those States to the extension and per
petuation of slavery.”
Tho President eulogized Lincoln,oom-
mending his opinions on the issues of the
civil war expressed in his speech at the
consecration of tbe Gettysburg National
Cemetery, that ail men are created equal
and that the war was to test whether
any nation conceived on Buck principles
can long endnre. Tho objects for which
the Union soldiers fought wore national
ity, liberty, equal rights and self-govern
ment. Qiot -d from Mr. Lmcoln’s inau
gural, and urged the acceptance of ail
tho constitutional amendments. Regret
ted that in eomo communities there ex»
isted a dangerous practical denial of the
right o* colored citizens to the political
privileges guaranteed by tbe constitution.
No man can manfully claim acceptance
of the eottlement of tho war who with
indifference sees tho fifteenth amendment
practically nullified. Tno question of
the lawless aasaiiment of the rights of
tbo colored people is o iaol the whole
country. Patriot ism, justice, humanity
and material interests all plead on the
right side of the question. When races
aro numerous, prosperity can only exist
by the harmonious effjita of both the
white people uud tno colored people. The
only EOlid foundation for peace and prog-
rees in each a community is equal and
exact justics to all. All States now share
alike under tho general government. The
press cf the communities whero lawless
ness cxiets, has spoken out. Ia conclud
ing, tho President urged the protection
of the rights of all, especially tbe colored
citizen?, protecting the rights of all by
anstaining the representatives of tho peo
ple who will guard their rights.
Tho right of suffrage is the right of
self-protection. lie free exercise is the
vital air of Republican institutions.

Important Movement.
Yesterday, a committee of the New
York Chamber of Commerce addressed a
letter to W, H. Vanderbilt, suggesting an
application to Congress at its next ses
sion for an act regulating traffio on the
great trank railway lines in the United
States, and reoommending the prepara
tion of a bill for that purpose at an early
date, so ai to bring it to the test of care-
fal study and criticism.
This is a movement wo havs br-n-ntici-
p&ting for some time, and aro :e .1: .ed te
believe that it iB the result of much con
ference already had between the parties
named. The fact is, all the tariff and
pooling arrangements mads between the
rival roads amount to little. They are
soon broken np by the rivalry, bad faith
or snepioion subsisting between the par
ties, or by onteide pressure of looal in
terests controlling them, and tbo Inter
nal trade of the country beoomes the oon-
slant sport and viotim of ohange and
fluctuation in rates of carriage. Acts of
State Legislatures oannot reach the mat
ter for want of co-extensire jurisdiction;
but it is possible that Congress might
provide a statutory schedule for the
great inter-State lines, to which shorter
lines might be conformed by State Leg
islation.
It la needless to eay that snoh an aot
most be almost wholly experimental in
the ontiefc. It can only be perfected by
experience. It will, moreover, keep the
railways constantly in and before Con
gress, with all their vaat interests and ag
gregations of wealth, aad it becomes a
matter oE serious speculative inquiry
what influence this will be likely to exert
on the integrity of legislation. The whole
proposition is fraught with momentous
considerations, both to the business of
the people and the purity of the govern
ment.
Greenbacks vs. Greenbackery.
It has been disooTered by tho Republi
cans that no weapon is so effectual to
fight Greenbaokery as greenbacks. Id
Maino they began the canvass by waving
the bloody shirt, bat soon dropped it
and in lien thereof waved greenbacks.
A Portland paper says that Mr. Blaine
waved twenty thousand dollars worth of
them oat of bis own private fortune,
and, altogether, about $250,000 in green
backs were waved all over the State—the
men of high morale showing their appre
ciation of tbo suffrage to each an extent
as paying thirty dollars per vote. Truly
did the ancient prophets of reconstruction
remark that suffrage is an elevator. Her
rings are nothing to snffrago in a lurg
family at thirty dollars apiece.
For our own part, though con3titn
tionally averse to buying or selling votesi
wo are glad to believe that money ia more
powerful than hatred in Maine. It is
better to vote for gain than to vote for
malice, hatred and revenge. It is better
to be Eordid than to ba malignant.
Therefore let ns rejoice that the bloody*
flag was displaced by the Greenback
in Maine, because the seotional hate
had ceased to be a prevalent motive pow
er with the brethren.
Boblnaon and mden.
The iForId asserts that Robinson will
be re-elected Governor ot New York be
yond all doubt, and it is pretty clear that
the World really Mints that statement
because it is steadily addressing itself to
the work of showing that a victory for
Robinson will be no evidence that Tilden
can carry New York; and the Southern
States particularly must not suffer them
selves to be misled into any such assump
tion. That Robinson is f »r moro popular
than Tilden, whom the }>V: id attacks in
this faehiont
The readers of tbe TForZd do not need
to be reminded that this jonrnal Insisted
steadily and unahriukingly upon the re
nomination of Governor Robinson as the
first condition of Democratic enooesa in
1879 when other Democratic journals
wavered before the tempest of Tammany
threats. Nor shonld they need to be told
that tbe World wonld oonsider it a nuioi
dal aot as matters now stand were the
National Convention of 1880 to renouil
nate Mr. Tilden. With Mr. Tilden as its
oandidate the Democratic party would
be put on the defensive at the outset and
kept there.. Demooratio ne wspapers and
Demooratio speakers would be com
polled to take np aud carry the harden of
tbe inoome-tax litigation whioh Mr. Til-
den, we are sorry to say, seeuu more
than willing to leave at
loose ends, when every dielata
ot policy and of principle shonld movo
trim to bring it to final judgment before
1880; of the cypher mystery, and in
word, of all the as yet unknown and nn
certified doings of his nephew, Mr. Pel
ton. Whatever those doings msy turn
out to be the Republicans have, rightly
or wrongly, succeeded in putting the
onus of them all upon Mr. Tilden. Be
sides nil this, Mr. Tilden no longer pos
eesses tbe power of pbyaioal endurance
necessary to enable a candidate to go suc
cessfully through the hard work of aPrest
dential campaign. 0! course, therefore
he lacks the power if eleoted to initiate
and carry out tho tremendous work ot
reform which must done by a Democratic
Preaident at Washington. Ia a word,
Mr. Tilden has been unfortunate in
mauy things. This may or may not
be his fault. Bat the National Democ
racy must not; be handicapped in 1880
with the load of those misfortunes.

Mr. Stephens at Jjoutsvillfe.
Hon. A. H. Stephens received
grand ovation at Louisville, Kentucky,
last Monday night at tho State Erposil
tion, which is now in fall tide of success
fal experiment. Mr. Stephens attended
on special invitation, and was reoeived
very enthusiastically by an immense as
semblage. In response to an address of
welcome from one of the Vice-Presidents
of tho Exposition, Mr. Stephens dt livered
from his movable chair a speech on “Sci
enco, Civilization, Progress and Humanl
ty,” about an hour in length.
Tho Courier Journal says in spite of
his bodily weakness, his voice is still
good, and at times it rings like a clarion
in a mountain defile. Itjwas noticed that
whenever ho wished to emphasize any
point he wonld roll his chair first on the
right, then on tho left, and finally for
ward. These movements are the substi
tutes need by him for gestures, and they
rendered his epeeoh very remarkable.
His address was of an hour’s length and
enchained attention. No Roman father
could have beon accorded greater homage;
no Pagan chariot, with the spoils of hos
tile cities "to deck the shrines of Rome”
in its wake, ever oocaeioned greater en-
thusism than the chair of the invalid
Statesman. When he began to speak
tho crowd gathered closer and increased
momentarily. We oopy the introdnetory
remarks of the Courier Journal:
Tbe testimonial to Hon. A. H. Ste
pheoa last night at the Exposition can
safely be called unparalleled. It was
a deferenoe of tho masses to a man who
will be a historic character. It was
fealty to a name that has never been
blemished, to honor that has never beon
questioned, and to an eloquence that
onoe snook the country, and whose
spaiks have not yet been extinguished.
Force, power and beanty were moved
and controlled by a man who is bat the
echo of the Hon. Alex. H. Stephens of
tbo pas:. ’Tis bat a frail body in which
fife feebly circulates; the merest boy
could cruih out the divine epirk. It is
bur evidence that genius annihilates in
firmiiy aad illuminates weakness ot
body; room every obstacle by overleap
ing it; throws beauty in tbe background
and shows that mind and soul and eilvery
hairs are greater elements in "stirring the
fierce Democracy” than aught else in the
world. When tha feeble, white-haired
statesman, type of American chivalry,
exponent cf tne sunny South, and bear
er of white from the waveless white of
tho cotton plantations, and the palmetto
forests, that eiug their eternal songs, was
pushed through tbe crowd npon his chair,
there was not a heart in all that vast
crowd that did not thrill and beat for
him. It W03 no idle curiosity that com
pound attention; but it was kindled sym
pathy. Ono heart beat moved them all.
0!d men with heir that seemed a halo
of starlight r.3 it fell upon their shoul
ders were reminded of that pleasing post
which constitutes for thorn the good old
days. Men of business beheld in him an
eve; ready assistance and encourage
ment. Bright eyes of Kentucky’s fairest
fell softly upon the aged, slight, but still
grand form. Tho laughter of boys and
girls waB hushed and changed to sympa
thetic siienco- The eight was an epio to
the mind; a song to the oar; sublimity
in action^

Thn Bond or the Treasurer —Under
this head the Atlanta Dispatch submits
the following:
Treasurer Renfroe, in bi3 statement be
fore the investigating committee, spoke
of the difficulty of making a bond as
large as his, and tbe necessity of offering
inducements to bankers and others to be
come his bondsmen. Tbe Legislators
and tbe people bave expressed their dis
approbation of his condnot in allowing
his securities the interest on tha State’s
deposits as a consideration for signing
his bond. Bat still the question re
main*, can a Treasurer elect give the
bond reqnired without some compensa
tion to hie bondemen ? This is a mat
ter deserving of Legislative attention. It
appears to ne that the difficulty may be
gotten over by dividing tho responsibility
and lessening the bond of the Treasurer.
Cannot Ur. Garrard’s bill establishing
State depositories be so amended a* to
require the banks to give 'security in
some reliable form; to forbid tbe remov
al of the deposits from their keeping ex
cept npon the joint demand of the Gov
ernor, Comptroller and Treasurer, and
then only when wanted for noma imme
diate demand of the State; and to pro
hibit the retention in the Treasury at
any time of more than a email amonnt
needed for the current expense* of the
State government? If the possibility of
any great defaloation or financial er
ror by the Treasurer was thus re
moved, what need wonld there be of a
bond of $200,000? Why shonld the
bond be any larger than the amonnt
whioh he might be allowed to retain di
rectly in tbe Treasury ? These large
bonds are generally unprofitable at beat.
Either the bondemen often prove to be
irresponsible, or they oonvey their prop
erty so that the State or connty cannot
reach it, or they are "relieved” by a spe
cial aot. But let the responsibility be
divided, and the several bends be large
enough only to cover each one’* liability,
and there would not only be more sol
venoy in the security, bnt more certainty
in the enforcement of tbe penalty.
We know that these suggestions are
crude and somewhat indefinite, bnt thoy
will serve to convey an idea that might
be better elaborated and evolved into a
plan by which a serious difficulty in our
State administration may be mastered.

Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AJJD SICK HKADACHK.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.'
TjAIN in the right side, under the
1 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 cf 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 tn 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 arc 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

Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred

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 arc afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.

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 Liver Pills
hear the signatures of C. McLane and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the
market being full of imitations of the
name McLane, spelled different^ fabt

to vote for the Demooratio oandidate for tha
Begent of the University in order to protect
themselves from the tomahawk. This ia
amusing, bat it is sboat as near to oonamon

The silver oertifloate bids fair to take the
place of tbs standard silver dollar to a very
great extent. Iu paying out ten per cent,
on obeoks in silver dollars the Treasury is
general], faced wnh tha demand for certi
ficate* in tbeir stead. Tais is especially tha
case with tho banks. The banns then pay
them ont over their ooueiere the same as
greenbacks. In this ,vay a large amount of
si vor cortiflestea have sot into circulation in
tnis city. The silver lor.idcsto is tho same
size ae the greenback and jemt ae conven
ient. It passes readily in au quarters where
it is known. Tbe experience with the silver
dollar will doubtless be the same elsewhere
aa it is in thia city—the eubnitute for it to a
great extent of the cntdicste. Ia this way
a cow form of onrreney will rapidly come in
to general oircnluUon. ’
