THE FEDERAL UNION.
Corner of Haneock and Wilkinson Streets.)
Wednesday Morning, March 27, 1872.
r*nblniii( Ike Opposition.
Many of the opponent* of Gen. Grunt are to san-
gnine a* to believe that ail of those opposed to the re
election of Gen. Grant can he united on one ticket.
We think thin is more than doubtful. Many of the
liberal Republican* at the West are opposed to a high
tariff. They could unite with the Democrats; but
Horace Grecly and Charles Sumner are in favor of
h’gli tariff. The labor reformers in many things agree
with the Democrats, but some of the planks in their
platform are objectionable. It will require a great
deal of forbearance and patriotism to bring all of these
discordant element* together and make them act in
concert. We hope this may be effected, for we be
lieve the salvation of the country depends upon the
defeat of Gen. Grant. We hope the Democracy will
take no stock in the Cincinnati Convention. But let
the liberal Republicans take such ground as suits
them and nominate such candidates as will be most
the popular with their party. When the nomination of
liberal republicans is matte the Democracy can decide
whether they will support the Liberal Republican or
the Labor Reform ticket, 01 nominate a Democratic
ticket of their owu. We strongly suspect Gen Grant
will continue to buy up a part of the disaffected Re
publicans. He has so many offices at his control, and
so much patronage at his disposal that he can hold
out great inducements to men of mercenary dispose
tions, and we fear he will be able to break up the
Cincinnati Convention, or induce them to support him
The Klnlr Trials Ml Atlanta.
We presume that no man acquainted with all of the
circumstrnces ever expected that any of the big
thieves, living in or around Atlanta, would be
punished or made to disgorge the money they had
stolen from the State. The people of Atlanta knew
flies- men were plundering the State of thousands and
millions, and yet they kept mum and dark, and when
others complained,they laid it was all prejudice against
Atlanta. The fact was, Atlanta was being built up
with this plunder, and why should they complain?
It was for tins very purpose the capital was moved to
Atlanta. These men who were plundering alltherest
of the Stale tor the benefit of Allauta, were consider
ed the elite of the city, and almost worshipped as pub
lie benefactors, and it would be unreasonable to sup
pose that the men who have grown rich out ot the
plunder would be likely to punish the rohhers. It
would he ni grateful for them to do so. They may
punish some poor lellows who only stolen lew hundred
dollais, and had not money enough left to bribe ju-
roia or Sheriffs and jailors, but those who stole their
thousands and millions will all go free. These big
thieves have friends and partners all over Atlan
tn who will never see them punished. Besides, if
these big rascals are brought to punishment it might
endanger hundreds of othets who were their partners.
The fact is, the firm of Bullock, Blodgett, Kimball,
Clews & Co., embraced hundreds of the citizens of
Atlanta. It was a joint stock concern which has many
ramifications. To this Company the people of Atlan
ta owe many of their boasted improvements, and it is
not reasonable to suppose that tney will suffer them
to he punished. General Toombs and Linton Steph
ens and the Lego at ve committee may detect and
convict tome of the cu‘ aits, hut the people of Atlan
ta will never Bland b\ an I see their partners punished ;
too many of them are inierested. It is believed that
if the State could recover all that has been stolen,
more Ilian one hall of the property of A'lanta would
have to be fold to pay the debt. If this property is
ever recovered, or many of the big thieves are ever
punished, these Stale trials will have to he moved to
some other place. Neither of these oljects can over
be effected in Atlanta.
Our Ml. Jlsiy'i Idler
We have the pleasure of laying before our leaders
to-day a highly interesting letter, giving an accouiq
of a visit to the tomb of Gen. Lee’s father, from the
pen of our well known correspondent “ W. G. M.”

A tremendi d* fall of rain was experienced in this
r< gion on last Sunday night, and on the following day
and on j esterday the cloud* still lowered darkly, but
without rain.
The streams are greatly swollen,and we understand
the Railw ay bridge over Fishing creek on the Macon
and Augusta Railroad (belween our city and Macon)
has been carried away. We have no mail over that
road since Monday morning. The train of that morning
passed our city going eastward, hut was thrown from
the track near Carr’s Station anil greatly damaged
We infer that the track has not been cleared or that
other damage has been done that pait of the Road, as
at the present writing no train from Augusta has reach
ed us since Sunday night. The old railway from Gor
don to Katoi ton is uninjured : at least we infer so from
the punctual anivals on time of the excellent Capt.
Whiting’s train.
Gov. Wiirmolh'a Views.
New York, March 14—Gov. Warmoth. of
Louisiana, in ail expression of his views on Lou
isiana politics, says that the administration party
in that State is confined to Collector Casey and
his adherents who are holding Federal offices ;—
that the retention in offices of Casey and Packard
disgusted Longstreet so that he was obliged to re
sign. These Federal officials engaged in all sorts
of corrupt schemes. Casey made it a point to get
interest in all the companies which obtained priv
ileges from the Legislature Among the hills in
which he was interested were the levee bill, the
levee shed bill, the warehouse bill. The man
in med to succeed Longstreet is Parker, a brother-
in-law of Ben. Butler. The opposition to Grant
will increase at the South, unless he changes his
course. If the Cincinnati Convention acts wisely,
its nominees will receive the support o< Louisiana.
One Hfndred Miles an Hour by
Rail.—A Pennsylvania engineer, nam
ed Wilder, has recently hit upon an
idea which, if carried out, as it de
serves to be, will do much toward in
creasing the efficiency and enhancing
the economy of railroads. It provides
for the laying of two narrow gauge
tracks, side by side, with a space be
tween the inner rails equal to the or
dinary gauge of four feet eight inches.
Thus, three possible gauges will be fur
nished on the same line, all of which it
is proposed to use. For freight, the
narrow gauge will be used at a safe
rate of speed, while for passenger trav
el, and a high rate of speed, the broad
gauge will he used, the cars being
mounted on four lines of .wheels. This,
he contends, will prevent oscillation,
thereby increasing safety. He calcu
lates that by this system, and the in
creased weight of engines, it will per
mit of a rate of speed being attained as
high as a hundred miles an hour.
—The girls in the State Agricultural
College in Iowa not only keep up in
their studies with the young men, but
do all the housework under the superin
tendence of a matron and a general
housekeeper. A College in which
young girls are taught housework is
certaiuly a praiseworthy institution.
During the first week in May, the
Georgia Teachers Association will
hold its annual Convention at Augusta.
A circular, containing the names of the
lecturers and the subjects assigned for

issued about the first of April, and sent
to all the teachers of the State.

For the Federal Union.
Vlait M the Tsnh of Grs. I.er’n Father.
St. Mary's, Ga , March 20, 1872.
After a good breakfast at the large new "Spencer
House” hotel of this delightful little city, a party pro
ceeded to the tiny sloop Gcoreia. Capt. Cassidy ef
Brunswick, which had been chartered for the day for
an excursion to C’umherlnnd Island.
A leading object of our visit was to stand at the tomb
of ‘ Light Horse Harry” of the American Revolution
—the illustrious Father of our own illustrious Robert
E. Lee, the beloved and the lamented leader of our
“Lost Cause.”
In 1813. Gen. Henry Lee, incapacitated by physical
disability from participation in enr War then raging
with Great Britain, went in quest of health to the
West Indies. Early in 181S. he sought his native land,
sensible that bis “end of earth” could not be far dis
tant. At 'uis request, the vessel on which he had em-
baiked put into Cumberland Sound, nnd the distin
guished and dyiog patriot became the guest of Mrs.
Shaw, the eldest daughter of Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
then the mistress of Dungeness Mansion. This noble
and lordly mansion, built under the direction of Mrs-
Greene after the General’s death, of massive “tabby”
walls, (now in ruins, having been destroyed by fire in
1867.) was then the seat of refined and elegant hospi
tality. Here, the illustrious guest received every at
tention ; but he died on the 25th ot March, 1818, and
was interred iu the family cemetery near the grave of
Mrs. Gen- Greene. The remains of Gen. Greene
who died at Mulberry Grove near Savannah, prior to
the erection of the Dungeness Mansion, have been un
fortunately lost.
At 8 o’clock this morning, our cheerful party wera
under sail in St. Mary’s River, made up of Christian
F. Toll, formerly of your city, now or St. Mary's;
James W. Young of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Geo F Carr
and Robt L Rudolph of St. Mary’s, J R Franklin of
Brunswick and your chronicler. The rapid sail adnwn
the River under a blue sky and before a fresh wind
was delightful Capt. Cassidy told some of Ilia queer
est sailor yarns, in which others joined; and by way of
variety, Tol 1 and your venerable correspondent fell
into au argument over the Greek letter Theta, and
about the original Greek text from the Prometheus of
ACschylus which DeQuiiioev so beauti villy, yet freely,
translates “O multitudinous laughter of the ocean bil
lows!” At this juncture a few porpoises joined in the
discussion ill a sportive spirit, turning summersaults, in
their owd inimitable style on the surface of the‘‘briny
deep.” We reached the Dungeness landing on Cum
berland Island about 9o'clock, where we were hospi
tably received by Mr. Geo F Johnston, the gentleman
ly occupant ot the Dungeness property.
Under the polite guidance of Mr. Johnston, we visit
ed the various placesof interest on the premises. The
massive walls of the mansion, composed of solid ma
sonry known as “tabby” (formed ot concrete lime and
shells) resemble more the ruins of some old frndal cos
tie than anything else we have seen in the United
States. It was erected under the direction ot the widow
of Gen. Greene, who rewarded the cunning architect,
a Scotchman named Phineas Miller, for his skill in his
profession and his woith as a man, by giving herself
to him. Her marriage to Mr. Miller soon followed the
erection of the mansion. Her death occurred in 1814.
After a carelul survey of these massive ruins, we
pioceeded in a south-easterly direction about half a
mile to the family cemetery, it is enclosed by alow
tabby wall; the cedar and live-oak intertwine their
branches closely over the neglected tombs; and the
wail on the Southern side it* crumbling to deaay. A
rustic cedar gate of modern construction alone shows
the recent preseuce of man. We sought, first, tha
tomb of Lee. On the white marble tomb stone, is the
inscription :
SACRED
TO THE MEMORY OF
GENERAL HENRY LEE,
OF VIRGINIA.
Obilt—25 March, 1818,
^Etat 63.
Nearest to Gen. Lee’s tomb is that of Charles Jack-
sou, a Revolutionary officer, who died iu 1801; aud the
next is that of Mis Miller. It reads,
In memcrj of
Catharine Miller,
(Widow of tlie late Major General
NATHANIEL GREENE Commander iu-CLief,

She possessed great talents
And exalted virtues.
The tomb of Gen. Greene's daughter, Mrs Louisa
C. Shaw, who died in 1831, aud of her husband Mr
James Shaw who died in 1820, are beside Mrs Miller's
Many persons ale under lire impression that Gen.
Greene was buried here; hut UL the time of his death
(1786) he resided at Mulberry Grove near Savannah,
aud his remains were deposited in a vuult in the old
cemetery m Savannah The mansion of Dungeness
was erected after his death. When his descendants in
after years sought his remains with the purpose of re
moving them to Dnugeness, they could not be identi
tied. It is certain that they are not at Dungeness.
Even our own Gen. Robert E. Lee w us under the im
pressiou that Gen Greene was interred at Dungeness,
ami so Stales by necessary implication in his biograph
ical .-ketch prefixed to his Father s historical work on
1(evolutionary History, in the edition of the latter that
appeared iu 1869. The writer hereof ventured to call
Gen. Robert E. Lee's attention to this mistake in
March, I87U ; and in the next month—April 1870—he
made a pilgrimage to his Father’s tomb, and ascer
tained tor himself that Gen Greene's remains were
not at Dungeness. Alas, he very soon sank into his
own grave, in his own loving and beloved \ irginia
In January of the present year, at the suggestion of
the writer hereof, the accomplished artist Mr- F.J
Fisher, of Knoxville, Tennessee, visited Dungeness,
and is now engaged in making an exquisite and truth
lul historical painting representing Gen. Robot E.
Lee standing a! the tomb of his father, as he did in
April, 1870. It will be chromo-litbographed, and will
constitute oneof the most touching and attractive pic
tures, especially to Southrons, in existence. Mr. John
ston showed us to day the point from which Mr. Fisher
made hi? sketch on tne ground; and a beautiful land
scape it is, aside from the history it will embody direct
ly connecting the Revolutionary war wi;h our latrr
and greater “ War between the States”—tile great
"Light Horse Hairy” ot I he Revolution with his
greater son. our lamented Chieftain iu our recent dis
astrous but glorious struggle.
Turning from the tomhs with silent reverence, we
w alked a short distance through deserted fields where
thorny cactus abounded, and the bristling cirsium in
bloom spoke of the mildness of this delicious and half-
tropical climate The surf came up on the white
beach in long swells. Were a sea-bathing establish
ment opened here it would eclipse in many respects
such resorts in the Northern States. The climate
throughout the heats of summer ; s nt-vei oppressive
and in the winter, the cold is seldom disagreeably felt
We brought, away some mementoes in the shape of
some beauliful sea-shells which lie scattered in the
border of the restless waters, aud some fragments of
ancient Indian pottery. At one part of the beach,
the heaving restless waters of old Ocean are slowly
wearing away a mound exposing these fragments of
pottery, together with the bones of its Aboriginal
builders.
Near this spot the celebrated pirate Gibhesissaid
to have hidden an immense treasure of golden coin.
Prior to his execution—.-o goes the story—touched by
the kindness of his jailor, he described to him the
pot on the Southern end of Cumberland Island, stat
ing that lie (Gibbes) had taken ten men ashore to
bury the treasure; and to preserve his secret, he had
murdered these ten men and thrown them overboard
soon as he got to sea. The treasure has often been
searched for- We did not take time to search for so
small a sum—only $170,006 in gold! Indeed had we
found it, the weight would have been inconvenient to
carry.
Declining for want of time—wind and tide co-ope
rating to dictate the hour of our return—a hospitable
invitation ot Mr. Johnston to dine, we took a hasty
lunch on board the restless “ Georgia” already ruek-
iug on the waves at the beach, impatient to sail.
Mr. Johnston’s hospitality added some delicacies to
ur sumptuous lunch; aud we remember to have
eard some popping sounds as of corks a short time be
fore we set sail. Conversation was animated as we
left the foamy waters in Cumberland Sound. Oneof
mr party, in Ins intense practicality, describing a
swimming match in his native Penobscot, leaped over
board and buffeted the waves us lustily as did Ca:«ar
aud Cassius the noted time they swam the Tiber. The
skilful Cassidy Siam hauled to ; and the “ wave-stem-
mer” stood triumphantly on deck again, tlie acknowl-
dged hero of the expedition. We reached this city
an hour ago. W. G. M.

BOWK NOTICE.
Arsenic-Enters
Sixteen years ago a tragedy occurred in the moun
tainous regiou of Eastern-Tenuessee which was
brought vividly to the attention of the writer by his
connection with some investigations before the grand
jury touching the circumstances.
In the village of Wartburg, wholly peopled by Ger
man immigrants, one of the prominent citizens was
found dead with a pistol in his right hand, and a ball
in his brain which entered at the back of his head.
One barrel of the pistol was empty. The question
arose IVas it a case of suicide or assination l
Facts antecedent to the tragedy, as elicited before
the grand jury, favored both tlie theories. It is diffi
cult to shoot one’s self directly in the bark of the head
with a pistol, no matter if the ban el be short, as was
the fact in this instance.
On the investigation before tlie grand jury a youth
ful Styriau was examined who liud but recently ar-
rived from Europe. The beauty of her complexion
was beyond compare ; and her eyes possessed a viva
city and expression we never saw elsewhere. On re
marking thus much to an intelligeut German physician,
he explained that the results were owing to an habit
ual use of arsenic by the beautiful female before as.
We are reminded of this incident by rending m Ap
pleton's Journal, that most instructive and interesting
of our Weekly publications—in tlie issue of February
10th a vety interesting article entitled Arsenic-Eaters
The prevalence of this straDge and dangerous habit
in portions of Styria is fully authenticated; aud the
receutnees, and we may add reluctance with which
scientific and intelligent men in other countries be
came convinced of its existence, are fully set forth.
Of course the habit is one of fatal tendency, however
conducive to vivacity of expression and beauty of
complexion. One remarkable instance is given of a
Styrian accustomed to taking 23 grains of the poison
daily. The ordinary falal dose of arsenic (or arsent-
ous acid, as the white aiseuic of our drug stores is
popularly termed) taken by persons unaccustomed to
its use, is only two grains. To such intemperate ar
senic-eaters as the one mentioned, the language oi
Lord Byron on Mithidates would well apply:
“ Like to the Pontic monarch of old days,
Who fed on poisons till they did become
A kind of nutriment”
We mid not quit the interesting number of Ap
pleton’s Journal under consideration without referring
to another curious and suggestive article it contains—
“ The City of the Future '' The plan is proposed of
making buildings in densely populated cities to reach
a dozen stories or more. Salubrious climate could be

Nothing could be more absurd than an abandon
ment of our position because the Ministry have re
ceived a civil reply from Washington. Is it supposed
that what we wanted was an angry reply, ana that
having failed in provoking one, we yield at once and
admit the American case without furilier question?
The negotiation of the Treaty at Washington has not
given us an exalted notion of diplomacy, but we have
comforted ourselves by thinking that it was only to
amateur diplomatists that our interests at Washing
ton were confided; if, however, the diplomatists at
Paris can really believe that we will submit to the au
thority of the arbitrators on the question of indirect
damages because we have received a soft answer, we
shall be tempted to give up diplomacy altogether.
I Ve do not intend to pay anything in respect of conse
quential damages; and the reason irhy tec cannot
consent to go on with the arbitration if the claim lor
consequential damages be pressed is lhat it is neither
just to ourselves nor to the tribunal before which we
should appear to allow a question to be argued which
we insist is not within the reference, end nnv deter-
minatioe of which we are determined beforehand to
treat as a nuMily. This is our position, and it cannot
be too clearly understood. What may be the result ot
the difficulty we know not. aud it does not rest with
ourselves, but it never shall be laid to our charge
hereafter that the Treaty of Washington was abor
tive because wo did not make our meaning plain when
the question of its construction arose.—London Times,

President Grnnl’s Affinities.
We find a circumstantial account in one of our Re
publican exchanges of an interview with that rugged
Isbmaelite, Wendell Phillips, fiom which we venture
on an extract:
Grant’s chief concern, says Mr. Phillips, appears to
be money-making :
y. Do you think lie makes money in aeorrupt way ?
A. I shouldn’t like to say that; but he has managed
to make some seven or eight hundred thousand dol
lars duiiug his administration, and lie thinks he has
not enough yet. A friend of uiiue residing in New

mirer of General Grant, stated to me that during a
conversation with him tlie President Imd disgusted
him by remarking that he did not think his (Grant’s)
Irienda iiad yet sufficiently rewarded him for the ser
vice lie had i endered them and the sacrifice he had
made—the remark, as my friend took it, being a
strong bint for more presents.
bl Does Grant really desire to occupy the Presiden
tial chair anotr er term ?
A. He has but two aspirations—re-election and
another million.
q. In case of the rennmination of Grant, is it likely
that Sumner, who is now opposed to him, will support
him—during the campaign?
A. Mr. Sumner will not under any circumstances
support General Grant; he entertains the most con
temptuous opinion of him. During quite a recent
conversation I had with him at Washington, Mr.
Sumner said that the President was the most igno
rant, corrupt, dishonest man living! If there was no
other choice, Mr. Sumner would rather not vote at all
than vote for Grant.
The Prospects Ahead.—We have
just received a letter from Oregon,
(written” the 10th ultimo) which is full
of the right spirit, from beginning to
end. We take the liberty of giving our
readers a few extracts as a sample ol
the whole:
I read the papers from all parts of
the country, and am chagrined at the
flagrant violations of the Constitution
perpetrated daily by the ruling party
They have no idea of maintaining the
Institutions of our fathers. The Con
stitution is a dead letter to them.
Martial law is their reliance. It is un
der this they cover their infamous acts
of oppression, robbery and plunder.
Will our liberties be lost? If we
fail to 3ecnre the reins of Government at
the next Presidential election I fear
they will he. I feel gloomy in view
of the dangers around us. but feel sat
isfied that the Democracy have
the power to avert such a calamity,
if they wiil but exert it properly—if
will but stand firm and united, and
see to it that the present administration
does not succeed in their aims of carry
ing the elections by military intimida
tion and force.
Some of our Northern leaders are
either too timid, time-serving, or some
thing worse, to be depended on. * * *
I am bitterly opposed to “a passive
policy” by the Democracy in dealing
with these ursurpers. We, in my
judgment, can only succeed in a
straightforward boldly conducted cam
paign.
This is quite enough to show the
Democracy in those States East of
the Rocky mountains, the spirit that is
animating the breasts of their comrades
in the far West. A. H. S.
—A consignment ot 7000 salted kan
garoo skins was lately received in
San Francisco from Australia, and are
to be made into leather at an Oak
land tannery. The skin of the kangaroo
is quite thin, but exceedingly tough,
and when tanned into leather is very
pliable and soft, wearing a long time
without cracking and turning water
better than calf akin.
The Albany Central City says the farmers of that

After the State's Moset—Attachments
Against the Men Who Got the Monet.—Yester
day, on information tiled by Col Candler aud his in
vestigating committee, u number of attachments were
issued against the men who, upon investigation have
been found to have shared in the State Hoed money.
The aggregate runs to over $20 I 1)00. and the attach
ments touch the following parties: Schofield Rolling
Mill, $57,000. This is fi r iron. Foster Blodgett near
ly $60,000. This is exclusive of the $200,000 covered
by his bond. Included in tins item is $||>,0M) collect
ed from the Post Office Department and never ac
counted for. The items are various Blodgett has
been writing back to be permitted to return without
arrest. N. P. Hotchkiss. $i 4.000. This is exclusive ot
$30,000 covered by his bond. It includes ail sorts of
comical items, from horses to coal. One item of $875
is for u-e of sleeping car* another for $80 is for whis
ky ; $180 for a horse. Vai ney it Gaskill $15,000. Of
this $8,500 is the Dobbins money, retaining fees;
$l00fortnpto Savannah, making speeches for Green
i Line, etc. James Mullens $8,000. This includes do
mestic items of house fencing, double pay. etc. A
L. Harris $8,000. Switches, not lor thrashing children,
are included here. John Rice, proprietor of New Era,
$25,000. This is the amount of Stale’s money used to
buy the Era from Dr. Bard. I. P. Harris $19,000.
There is no attachment heie as the bond of $100,000
covets the amount. The uses to which theState Road
money was put were odd and various Buying news
papers importing race horses, running turf exchanges,
building houses, junketing, etc., etc. Verily we shall
never see the like of these Radical jokers again. From
Blodgett and Bullock down they constitute the most
iniiniiable band of festive yet practical plunderers
that the world ever saw.
The Atlanta Constitntion, of the 2*2d inst., says;
“A diabolical and fiendish attempt was made last
Tuesday night, by unknown parties, to run the
night passenger train on the State Road off the
track, between the Iceville turnout and the Chat
tahoochee bridgs, and, tailing to run it ofl on the
bridge and precipitate the cars in o the river, we
are informed that the ruffians placed several ir< n
rails across the track between the turnout and the
river, so arranged that the night passenger train
from Atlanta, when it struck the pile, would be
thrown off the track To make assurance doubly
sure, the parties next placed on tlie track at the
west end of the bridge an iron chair so as to run
the train offou the bridge aud precipitate the cars
into the river. Fortunately, this devilish attempt
was foiled in time. A freight train of which Mr
Woodruff, is conductor, crossed the bridgtqbefore
the arrival of the passenger train. I he iron chair
was removed, and when tlie cow catcher run into
tlie rail pen the train was stopped and the rails re
moved.
President Brown lias offered five hundred dollars
reward for the apprehension of the perpetrator* of
this wicked act.

[From the -Memphis Appeal ]
We publish this morning a very able
article on the political situation from the
Washington Patriot. As the Patriot is
the national Democratic organ, echoes the
sentiments of the Democratic members
of Cougress and the National Democratic
executive committee, these comments are
full of significance, and therefore worthy of
serious perusal aud calm reflection. The
politician who cannot read from the signs
of tho times that the people are rising in
their majesty, and, disgusted with sec
tionalism and venality, are determined
to make a last vigorous effort to purify
the government, and to return to the Con
stitution as the only basis of patriotic pol
icy, is either a fool or a knave. Patriots
of all parties are determined to throw off,
for this election, party fetters and make
common cause against the leeches who
are draining the country of money, depri
ving us of justice, and in every way op
pressing and abusing the people. Before
three months there will he such a rally
ing of the popular masses that all will
be satisfied that the people are really mov
ing. Its magnitude will be such as to
thoroughly convince the already disheart
ened plunderers who have ruled and rob
bed the government, that the day of reck
oning i3 at band: that the arrows of Ar-
gonatus are now aimed to destroy these
modern Harpies, and to purge the tem
ples of justice and the chambers of official
business of their corrupting pestilence 1
We sincerely believe a bolt is now being
forged which will blast the whole up
growth of carpet bag corruption, root, stock
and branch. The Grant Radicals know,
and they tremble a* they contemplate,
that if the efforts of the anti-Grant party
be harmonized aud directed on a common
point, the Radical fortress will tumble in
like the house of Dagon, shaken by the
wrath of the captive Nazarite. Let us all
join the grand phalanx of the people who
are marching to overthrow corruption aud
to preserve onr liberties. Let no minor
differences of opinion distract our councils
or impair our euergies. Let ns appeal to
the good aud tli8 wise in every State of
the Union, by what ever! denomination
known, distinguished by whatever politi
cal opinions. Let us invoke them by their
love of peace, justice and freedom • by
their duty to themselves and to posterity;
by their recolletions of true glory and just
renown of our common country ; by their
ambition of giving to the world an endu
ring example of a government of laws;
by every other motive, let us entreat them
to unite in the choice ot a chief magistate
of acknowledged wisdom, undoubted firm
ness and unsuspected integrity. Let us
elect one who, owing his elevation to one
party, will owe obligation to none ; who,
in feeling aud in conduct, will be Presi
dent of the nation; who will ciucerely
and zealously aid in bringing hack the
goreronment to its original simplisity and
purity. We must have a President who
will correct the abnsed patronage of the
government—its prodigality and corrup
tion—in dismissing only its unprofitable
servants, retaining aud employing the
good and faithful—infusiug into his ad
ministration a spirit of moderation and
equity—having no other end but the
public good, and employing no means that
are not plainly constitutional and obvious
ly just.
What Dyspepsia -Tiny KuH la.
Indigestion is cot dangerous, say the faculty.—
Perhaps not in it.-elf, while it remains mere indi
gestion : but look at the consequences to which i(
may lead, and often does lead when it becomes a
chronic disease. A spark of tire is a small thing-
A pressure of the foot will put it out; a breath
wiil extinguish it. Yet it may fire a powder mill
or kindle a flame that will consume a city. In
like manner indigestion may produce gastritis,
cancer of the stomach, congestion cf the bowels,
apeplexy, liver disease, and many other dangerous
maladies. Is it not wise, then, to check it in the
germ ? Nothing is more clearly and indisputably
established than that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters
will eradicate dyspepsia in all its stages. The
true policy, however, is to extinguish it in the
first stages with this wholesome, powerful, and in
fallible tonic and alterative. It is easier to
quench a spark than a flame, and it is easier to
cure dyspepsia when it is first developed, than
when it has made headway by neglect, and be
come complicated with other ailments. There is
not the shadow of a doubt that the bitters are as
directly antagonistic to dyspepsia as water is to
fire. Theie are thousands of cases on record
proving this fact. The remedy is safe and agree
able. All the liqnors of commerce prescribed as
stimulants leave a sting beeiud But the sting is
taken out of the spirituous basis of this great rem
edy by vegetable medication, and, moreover, the
stimulant thus medicated i* of exceptional purity.
Of all tonics taken as safe-guards or remedies for
fever aud ague, billious remittents, and other ep
idemics, it is the only one that can uniformly be
depended on. 32 lur
Hew Ike Blood i* Puriflrd.
Experience, as well as science, teaches the im
mense importance to health and to physical com
fort of the excretory processes. By the excre
tory pr* cesses is to be understood all those
functions having for their end the discharge
of waste matter from the system. When
the faculties of mind and body are sensibly dull
and obstructed, and when the mere fact of exis
tence is burdensome, rather than, as it ought to be
a rich blessing, we all know how exhilarating and
reviving an effect is brought about by inducing a
copious flow of perspiration, or by administering
a sufficient purgative. But these remedies are in
their nature only temporary. As soon as the effect
of the cathartic or sudorific, as the case may be,
has exhausted itself, the system ri verts more or
less rapidly to its original condition. A remedy
to be permanently beneficial must be radical. We
must aim at raising the tone and vigour of the
system generally, and this is best to be accom
plished by the use of a medicine at once tonic and
stimulant, such as Dr. Gottlieb Fisch's celebrated
Bitters. But this medicine stimulates not only
jhe stomach, but as well the other alimentive or
gans, chief among which is the liver. Now the
special function of the liver is the s-cretion of the
bile—a fluid not only essential to the digestive
process, but also of the highest utility as the great
natuio-appoiuted laxative, the'great natural regu
lator of the intestinal functions. This fact renders
the Bitters doubly valuable. 33eowlm
