Henry Holland, was washing some hot-

and s.ked a gentleman what it was. Tho
gentleman told him be did not know, but
a< it smoked when touched by tho hand,
he advised the boy to throw it away.
Toe child, however, did not take hia ad

gotiation. now going on with Commo
dore Vanderbilt and Col. Thomas Scott,
and that they expected to offer Southern
excursionists a ride all over the North.
These arrangements are rather startling
to our minds at this early junct ire, but
are golden evidences of that generous
spirit which we have sought to cultivate
with ortr brethren of the North.

written to President Grant, in regard to

that the Southern Publishing Company
hod written, sanctioned, or in some way
was concerned in tho said letter. We
positively deny having been a party to
speh a vile letter. We cannot account
for the heading in any other way than
the author of the letter had evidently

The following letter from the Father

without deep interest and significance, to
any one who contemplates the change
which haa taken place, not only in the
character of the men, who were justly
regarded as the exponents of pnblic sen
timent, but also in the manner in which
nn honorable, though vanquished, foe
was treated by bis more successful ad
versary. On both of these points, this
letter speaks for itself:
Headquarters, Psnnsti.vania, )
March 11, 1778 j
Sir: I was only two days since hon
ored with your very obliging letter of
the 11th of February. Your indulgent
opinion of my character, and the polite
terms in which you are pleased to express
it, are peculiarly flattering; and I take
pleasure in the opportunity you have
afforded me of assuring you that far
from suffering tho views of national op
position to be embittered and debased by
personal animosity, I am over ready to
do justice to the gentleman and soldier,
and to esteem where esteem is dne, how
ever the idea of a public enemy may
interpose. You will not think it the
language of unmeaning ceremony if I
add that sentiments of personal respect,
in the present instance, are reciprocal.
Viewing you in the light of an officer
contending against what J conceive to be
the rights of my country, the reverses of
fortune you experienced in the field can
not be unacceptable to me; but, ab
stracted from considerations of national
advantages, I can svmp&thize with your
feelings as a soldier, tbe unavoidable
difficulties of whose situation forbid bis
success, and as a man whose lot com
bines the calamity of ili-healtb, the anxi
eties of captivity, and the painful sensi
bility for ft reputation, exposed where he
most, values it to the assaults of malice
and detraction.
A. your Aid-de-Camp went directlv on
to Congress, the business of your letter
to me had been decided before it came
to band. I am happy that their cheerful
acquittance with your request prevented
the necessity of my intervention; and
wishing you a safe and agreeable pas
sage, with a perfect restoration of your
health, I have the honor to be, very re
spectfully, sir, your most obedient ser
vant, * George Washington.
Who that reads the noble sentiments,
the chivalric honor, the generous appre
ciation of true oourage, and the sterling
manhood of true nobility, which is so ad
mirably expressed in this letter, con fail
to realise how great has been the change
from then to now I
Legislative Cookxkt.—The gentle
man from Louisville, Mr, La Rue, is en
titled to a patent for a new method of
bringing about an easy and quick ad
journment of the House, even in the
midst of the most persistent fillibuster-
ing and fillibustering resistance. Yes-
terdav, after many abortive attempts to
adjourn had been made, about ten min
utes after the clock had struck 2 r, x. t
he sent one of the pages out and pro
cured a large piece of middling meat,
which he proceeded to broil on the coals
in one of the large projecting fireplaces
of the House. Soon the dinner-suggest
ing odors of that broiling meat began to
spread through the House and salute the
olfactories of battling but hungry mem
bers ; and, in less than five minutes, an
other motion to adjourn was made and
carried like a shot.—Frankfort (Ky.) Too.

DAY DISPATCHES.
THE STORM OF SATURDAY.
While pastor of the Canton Church,
New Jersey, some years ago, I tempora
rily lost xnv voice, and was in conse
quence unable to preach for nearly a
year. Last spring I began to havs all
the symptoms of losing it a^ain. I la
bored with great difficulty, fearing each
tine I preached would bs the lost. In
July I commenced using Jayne’s Expec
torant, at the same tune rubbing my
throat and chest freely with the liniment.
I gargled my throat daily according to
the directions given in Dr- Jayne’s Al
manac, at the same time taking the Ex
pectorant regularly. Feeling very much
better, I discontinue,! the use of the
i-nrgle and the liniment, but still kept
on with the Expectorant. This winter I
have been more exposed, and preach
oftener than for many years past, and
yet my voice seems to .be growing
stronger, and were it not for the require
ments of my caliing, I firmly believe a
permanent curs would be effected by the
Expectorant. At all events the eood it
ha* done, and is doing me, mokes me

The city was early astir this morning,
and tho steamer Helvetius was the centre
of observation as she lay in the harbor
decked with bunting. The Helvetius has
been fitted out especially for the accom
modation of tho Emperor and Empress,
who embarked to-day at eight o’clock,
amid great popular demonstrations of
attachment and loyalty.
The shipping in the harbor was gaily
decorated. Accompanying their Majes
tiea on board were the Princess Imperial
and her husband. Count Id’Erf and the
chief civil and military authorities. Ac
the steamer moved from her moorings
salutes were fired and cheer upon cheer
given.
Steaming out of tbe harbor, the Helve-
tins ran into a transport of the Brazilian
navy, badly damaging her. The Helve
tius was not hurt and no lives lost.
The Emperor and Empress displayed
great coolness and courage. They were
both standing on the side along which,
after the collision, the vessels crushed
past each other. The terrified passen
gers rushed aft to avoid being, as they
feared, crushed to death, and in doing so
jammed the Empress against the door of
the cabin. From this unpleasant posi
tion a correspondent of a New York
ournal had the good fortune to extricate
! Her Majesty.

on the Helvetius revealing that she had
escaped unhurt, she proceeded on her

THE ENFORCEMENT ACT.
Opinion Delivered by Chief Justice
Waite.
Washington, March 27.—The offenses
provided in the 9tatue do not consist in
the mere banding in conspiring, but
their banding and conspiring with the
intent and purposes specified. To bring
this case under the operations of the
statue it must appear that the right the
conspirator intended to hinder was one
granted by the Constitution or laws of
the United States. If it does not so ap
pear the criminal matter charged has
not been made indictable under the acts
of Congress.
The opinion goe3 on to show the differ
ent rights of the citizens of the States and
of the United States It is the duty of a
State to see that its citizens are protected
in the right to peacefully assemble for
peaceful and lawful purposes. The Con
stitution forbids the Government f-om
abridging this right. The right of bear
ing arms for lawful purposes must be
seen to by the States, the Constitu
tion simply providing that Congress
shall not infringe its sovereignty.
To protect lives and property lies exclu
sively in the States. The fourteenth
amendment prohibits the States from
depriving any person of certain rights,
but this adds nothing to the rights of
one citizen as against another. The only
obligation of the United States is to see
that the Slates do not deny the right the
amendment guarantees, but no more.
The power of tho United States is
limited to tbe enforcement of this
guarantee. No question arises un
der the civil rights act3, because
there is no allegation in these courts,
that the wrong contemplated against the
rights of these citizens was on account
of race or color. We may suspect that
the race was the cause of hostility, but it
is not averred The whole charge, a3
made, is nothing more than a conspiracy
to commit a breach of the peace within a
State. It will certainly not be claimed
that tho United States have power to
perform mere police duty within the
States. We are, therefore of opinion
that the 1st, 21, 3d, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th,
10th, 11th, 12th, 14th and 15th counts
arc not indictable under tho laws of the
United Stales. In the 5th, 8th, 13th and
16th, where the allegation occurs, tho
indietment is faulty in not specifying
the acta with sufficient particulars to en
able the acused to prepare his defense.
The conclusion is that these counts are
too vague.
Spencer.
Washington, March 27.—In the Spen
cer investigation Henry Moore testified
that he was on Collector Widmore’s

Mr. Christiancy’* Amendment.
Washington, March 27.—Tho follow
ing is the proposition offered by Mr.
Christiancy and accepted by Mr Morton,
as a substitute for tbe latter’s resolution,
relating to affairs in Mississippi:
Whereas, it is alleged that the late
election in Mississippi, in 1875. for mem
bers of Congress and Stato officers, and
members of tho Legislature, was charac •
terized by great frauds, committed upon
and violence exercised towards tbe colored
citizens of that State, and the whito
citizens disposed to support their rights
at the election, and especially that tho
colored voters, on account of their color,
race or previous condition of servitude,
were by intimidation and force, de
terred from voting, or compelled to vote
contrary to their wishes for candidates,
and in support of parties to whom they
were opposed, and their right to the free
exercise of the elective franchise, as so
ured by the fifteenth amendment to the
constitution, thus practically denied and
violated, and that such intimidation bus
been since continued for the purpose of af
fecting future elections, and whereas the-
oeoule of all the United States have an
ntereat in and a right to insist upon the
enforcement of thi3 constitutional amend
ment, and Congress having the power to
enforce it, by appropriate legislation,
cannot properly neglect the duty of pro
viding the necessary legislation for this
purpose.
Therefore, resolved, That a committee
of five Senators be appointed by the
Chair to investigate the truth of these
allegations, and to inquire how far these
constitutional rights have, in the said,
election, been violated by force, fraud,
or intimidation, and to enquire and re
port to the Senate, before the end of the
present session, whether any; and, if so,
what farther legislation is necessary In
secure to said colored citizens the free en-
_ .yment of their constitutional rights,
and that said committee be empowered to
visit said State, to send for persons and
papers, to take testimony on o&th, and to
use all necessary processes for the3©
purposes.

Muon of Engineers, in service of Khodive of

fected with chronic nervous dyspensia to such
an extent that my health was much impaired.
So rapid was the advance of this insidious com
plaint that I soon felt that my constitution was
broken. After suffering for several years. I was
advised to try Simmons’ Liver Regulator, but
declined, because I had conceived it to bo “only
patent medicine.** At length, believing it oould
do no harm, I yielded. In a few months I be
came not only relieved, but absolutely cured,
and for two years past I havo boen thoroughly
restored to health and the enjoyment of life. I
look upon the "Regulator” as a most excellent
medicine, and will always have it by mo to re
sist any insidious approaches of my old enemy. I
write this in cratitude for tho benefit I have re
ceived from the use of tho Regulator.—W. B.
Hall.
HEADACHE!

Dr. Mramons* Liver Regulator
in my family for dyspepsia and
sick headache, and regard it an
invaluable remedy in those at

relief in any instance.—Rev. W.
F. Esterling, P. E. Tallahassee

KEEPING THE SECRET!
Charlotte, N. C • April 20, 1874.—Having
been an invalid for twrnty-flvo years, and hav
ing found relief from your Simmons’ .Liver Reg
ulator, I would be doing great injustice in keep
ing the secret from the public. Having taken
your ever blest medicinal Regulator, I am now
in good bodily health, thanks to this great medi
cine. I had good physicians, but they did not
relievo me, and until I was recommended to
take the Regulator I was not relieved, but
through your invaluable medicine and to the
Giver of all good I am this time indebted for ray
life.—Mark A exander.

ASTHMA!
I feel it my duty to express my gratitude for
the benefits derived from your very valuable
medicine (Simmons* Liver Regulator). 1 have
been afflicted with asthma for thirteen years.
About a month ago 1 was induced to try your
Liver Regulator, and procured a package and
have not finished taking, yet the effect (in so

For twelve months I have been troubled with

physicians; but nothing gave me any relief un

MORE MEDICAL PROGRESSION,
A NEW SCIENCE,
MEDICAL ENDOSMOTISM.
r IE undersigned innugumtos his forty-first
year of practice as a Medioul Progressionist
— his thirty-fifth in Macon—by the announce
ment of a virtually now science that for some
time has been developing under his hands, tie-
nominated by him Medical Bndosmotfcm, be
cause it is by endosmose he introduces his reme
dies into tli** circulation. This enables him to
adopt a new route te the liver and lungs, ar.d
gives him a direct means of medicating the en
tire substance of these important organs. 11 also
makes possible a pervasion of the entire capillary
svstem by unchanged medicated substances
through whose agency the dead nml broken down
tissue c:m In o?nr.mated, nml rentiers conmnra-
tively easy the purification of tho living organi
zation. which is really of much more consequence
than simply purifying tha blood. This method
renders tho blood itself subservient to the eon-
oral purpose, a id makes it the mmeumr that
carries the remedy wherever needed and the ve
hicle that brings hack tho dead matter to bo
ejected from the body.
Tni3 NEW ROUTE
is by the portal vein, tho only direct lino bet ween
the stomach and tho liver which heretofore has
not boen specially utilized m tho scientific treat
ment of disease, and as compared with that hy
the convulotions of the intestine :, the reeeptne-
ulum chyli. and the thoracic duct is ns the light
ning express of modern improvement to the slow
coach of departed centuries. This route to
which ho has adapted his thcrapia enables him
to dispense, in a great measure, with even the
concentrated crudities of the schools, while it
gives him control of tho operations m the groat

alono that body Is built up, and whore too it is
consumed. The fires of lifo are fed in tho capil
laries, and it is thoro they nra extinguished* for
in them wo literally *’die daily,” and in them nro
re created, for outsido of them a singlo particle
of fleshly substance cannot bo elaborated from
the blood in man or beast. E ve*y thing in it> or

system in the works of creation, tho digestive
wystem for the manufacture of bloo i. t he v ocu
lar for its conveyance or transmission, while in
the capillaries alono is elaboration and organiza
tion possible.
AND THOSE CAPILLARIES,
a labyrinth of vessels, so minute and hair-like
that five thousand of their diameters would
hardly mako an inch, yet into which every drop
of arterial blood—itself composed of millions of
microscopic globules—is made to enter, and pass
ing along comes in contact with worn-out ti-sue,

absorbents brings it to the reins, tho sowers of
tho bo ly. into which it pours, no longer the
bright, pure pabulum of lifo, but tho dark, foul
stream, loaded with every impurity of who«e
production the death of tho tissues is capable.
Passing tho various depurators this mass is ren
dered capable of nutrition again—is again sent
to the capillaries for elaboration, nnc with it may
bo sent tho various thernpoutio agencies, useful
in/dearlng tho way and eliminating tho matters
that, if allowed to remain would mako perma
nent obstructions. With free capillary action
there is health invariably; but if from any cause
llieso rainuto vessels become benumbed, con
stricted or collapsed so that tho dead matter can
not be forced th roach and out, thou we have d is-
ease, tlio whole varied phenomena of fever and
inflammation may ba presented, but cannot bo
cured till those channels nro reopened for the ex
it of tlio dead and tho free entrance of the life-
giving pabulum again.
IF THESE OBSTRUCTIONS BE LOCAL,
a slight effort of nature, an acceleration of the
heart’s action propels the b ood against them
and they nro remoyed-tho Inflammation thus
produced ends in resolution. If the obstruction
be more permanent, suppuration results; if per
manent and extensive, gangrene or death of the

lions be general, fever sets in as the natural cf*
firtto remove tbtm; if successful, perspiration

if the effort fails, or is thwarted by ignorant or
presumptuous interference, death may result, or
a quasi kind of life in tho shape of chronic dfs-
oave. in which nature adapts borsch' to thecon-
tlitidii arid til-’most r.f it. Slmull t li'-* «*
obstructions exist in tho hotly or capillaries of
the liver, then thoro is induration, or, p rimps,
suppuration; if in the substance or taitvotaous
capillaries of the lungs, hepUisation, tubercles
and consumption follow; it m the inn*' and

said emphatically to ba the pets of
ANTI PH LOG IST1CISM,
for when they occur, nothing is allowed to touch
or come near them, and if nature makes an effort
for their removal, sh* is put in chains at onco.
Would she impinge the blood against them with
increased force as in fever or inflammation, tlio
power of tho han't is arrested or paralyzed by
sedatives or the blood itself withdrawn directly
by the lancet, or its elements indirectly by liy-
pcrcatliarsifl. Should their presence cause pain,
us they naturally do, the powers of narcotization

might aid In their removal, but that is strictly

ECLECTICISM, THE MODERN SORT,
withdraws no blood directly, deals largely in se
dation. affects venitum veridc, strychnine and
prussic acid and their congeners, nil of which*
tend to depress the life power and prevent the
heart from exerting much if any force within tbe
capillaries. Thomsonism, pure and simple, exer
cises great relaxing power upon the peripheral
capillaries, but its thorapia i8 by many deemed
objectionable, and it has been found in practices
.-omewlmt deficient, wh- re tsv^.; -d the interior
are involved; lienee tho necessity of sending a
i carcher or solvent to tho innermost bodily re
cesses where lodgements exist to change and
bring them forth.
This is tbe chosen work of
MEDICAL ENDOSMOTISM,
and when its agencies, easily taken, are properly
$elected, they ao it effectually. When these ob
structions exist in the liver no precious time is
lost in vain efforts to remove thorn by endeavors
to affect that viscus by the introduction of agen-
ties, through its craunctory or outlet, thst
brientific mode (?) is left to allopathy and its
«ongeners, the liver regulator men, but its en
trance is availed of by the route of the portal
vein, and its action stimulated, and enforced in a
potential and intelligible way. * In liko manner
when in the substance of the lungs it would be
a waste of time to attemptthelr removal through
the air cells, because until tho long breaks down
there can be no outlet for tbom in that direction,
the dead end worn-out matter of the lung cannot
b» got ria of by expectoration. Allopath v pro-
poses nothing else, and of course fails in every
instance to cure consumption, though by her he
roic treatment of pneumonia millions of a. • ■■ of
that disease have b*en produced. The capabili
ties of Endomiotic medication by the portal vein
are of vast importuni*e here, and thepossibhM s
o> the future, if .not already achieved* cmb» a
c rtain remedy for that fell disease by fbo clirni-
lationof such infurious matters as have h ’roto-
fore been allowed to fester in their lodgtu mis
without the shadow of an effort being m: de to
eject them. In such cases, and indeed in every
form of
CHRONIC DISEASE,
well selected Endosmotics give great advantages
and are. freely availed of by tho underpinned in
b«s extensive administrations. Hi« long oxi-ta-
ri-ince enables him to judge with correctness as
to what is needed, and his intimate knowledge
of tlio remedial agents of all rohools, mnhos it
e*sy to adapt them or his own tothecne in natal.
Using nothing that can depress the life power,
he lias no hesitstian in sending hit remedies any
where on their mission of mercy and be din r, imd
will do so to any postoffic * in thv country or tho
world, on the reception of a letter descriptive of
the main features of the cave in su* !i language as

As heretofore, he propose* to treat a great
number at a small charge to each, rather than a
few at exorbitant rates, and therefore places the
amount for a six weeks’ supply at. <my ten dol

research and labors in Ins or her own per son. :-nd
