When the Republican discovered Rev.
Joseph Cook, a year ago, and reported
'■ ' for several Mondays, the Boston
papers knew him not. Now, the Adoer.
tiser weekly reports ‘'the usual distin
guished audience” as well as what e
distinguished lecturer says. But, really,
Cook is bigger in Boston as an off-nan
and witty commontator on the times than
ho is in the Connecticut valley as a theolo
gian. In Boston, he supplies the place
of a smart newspaper.— UpringfleM Repub

The Fields all look alike. Every one but
“Henry” has a nose that exhausts the rest
of his face. You see but a faint outline of
features. In aspect, David Dudley is the
most venerable of all. A man of sixty or
more, he la tail and rather bloodless. He
is bald, with a dome-like head, full of the
finest and keenest brains. His hair is sil
very. his side-whiskers, also, while the
square jaw, the firm, capacious mouth,
and rudder-like nose are quite equal to
steering the brains above straight into the
most difficult port of success.-Afary Clem

The Republican case before the Arbitra
tion Commission will be in able hands. It
lias been determined to employ counsel on
both sides, and the Republicans have en
gaged William M. Evabts and Stanley
Matthews, two lawyers, who in political
jurisprudence stand second to none in
America. It is thought that the Demo
crats will bo represented by Lyman
Trumbull, who is particularly conver
sant with the Louisiana case, Jebe
Black, IMatt Carpenter, and Richard
Merrick— certainly a very solid collection
of legal ability.— Chicago tribune.
The livid, dark-crimson spots, some
times called ‘‘port wine marks.” with
which some persons’ faces.are naturally
disfigured, have generally b een regarded
as indelible. The surgeon of the London
hospital has performed several successful
operations, however, and he describes them
for the benefit of his profession. He makes
fected surf.-tee, of an inch
apart, after making the flesh insensible
with other spray. Upon healing, the blem
ish is gone, and no scars remain if the op
eration has been carefully done.
In his Chicago addresses, Mr. Moody
claimed that th e age of miracles was not
past, and told the interesting story of one
having been worked upon him. When he
began his serious labors, he suffered a
good deal from one of his legs being short
er than the other, which gave him a halt
ing gait and soon wearied him. One night
when especially weary, he carried his
grievance directly to the Lord, saying ac
cording to his own account,—“Well, Lord,
I can’t stand this; if you want me to do
your work, you must‘give me two good
logs to do it with,” and thereupon went
trustingly to bed. When he got up the
next morning, his legs were even and he
had to go to a shoemaker and have his
boots altered so that he could wear them.
A remarkable story of accumulating dis
aster is told In the New York papers, which
record the death, at the asylum for the in
sane at Poughkeepsie, of James H. Elmore,
at one time a wealthy merchant and a weP
known and successful operator in oil. He
was engaged in business in New York, but
at the outbreak of the oil excitement be
came interested in the celebrated Noble
well, which brought him an easy fortune,
and ho retired about ten years ago, with a
quarter of a million dollars, and establish
ed himself in a luxurious country-seat on
Long Island. Disastrous speculations. In
cluding the building of a horse railroad on
Long Island, led to a long series of law
suits, in which Elmore’s property was
gradually eaten up. He himself was strick
en with paralysis; his daughter died, and
on the announcement of an adverse decis
ion in an important suit, his wife dropped
dead upon the floor before him. The
property had belonged to her, and as she
left no will, El morh's life Interest in the
estate was sold, with all personal chattels,
to satisfy judgmeats, and .he and his two
sons were cast out upon the world home
less and penniless. He traveled from place
to place, a cripple, subsisting on the be
novolenoe of sympathetic friends, until, on
Christmas night a year ago, his eldest son
was killed upon the Pennsylvania | Rail
road. The tottering intellect of the infirm
old man gave way nnder the blow,
aad he was taken to the asylum where he
die J. His death affects a suit now pend
ing, and saves to his remaining child, a
minor son, a portlo* of the property on
Loag Island; but this is all that now re

In noticing the election of public officers
we had intended to say that when the Leg
islature elected James P. Harrison to the
i esponsible office of Public Printer to fill
the unexpired term, that body aid what
was eminently right and proper to have
been done. We havo known Mr. Harrison
several years, and it affords us pleasure to
bear testimony to his worth as a man,
while as a printer none can surpass him!
His large establishment is fitted up in the
most superior style, and he ha3 done the
btate printing in a style equal or superior
to the very best specimens of public print
ing in any of the States. We hope, there
when the eleyti on comes on for
Public Printer, the Legislature, looking to
the interests of the State, will confer the
honor on our friend Harrison, who is

The Convention Bill.
It seems to be pretty well established
that a Constitutional Convention will be
held in Georgia sometime this summer.
One of the disturbing elements will
be the Capital question. Already it is
said a movement is on foot to sell the
State property at Milledgeville. Our
old friend of the Macon Telegraph sees
in this proposition a big job for
the erection of anew State House
at Atlanta. On this point he says:
“Let the subject of a return of the
Capital to Milledgeville be brought
squarely before the Convention on its
merits, and it will be time enough
afterwards to talk about selling the
old Capitol, or building anew State
house. Should the people decide to go
back to their venerable seat of govern
ment and shake off the liquor °,nd lob
by Influences of Atlanta, then the sale
of the old opera house will furnish an
ample fund for all the changes and re
pairs needed at Milledgeville, and the
State would be in the possession of a
a better Capitol edifice, with ample
grounds for all publio buildings, with
out taking one dollar from her treasu
ry. Nor would any further expendi
ture be needed for at quarter of
a century.”
The result of tho Senatorial contest
is said to have intensified this feeling
against Atlanta and in favor of Mil
ledgeville.
Counting the Vote.
The following is a short and compre
hensive synopsis of the provisions of
the electoral oount bill:
“On Tuesday each House appointed
by a viva voce vote five of its mem
bers, who, with the five Associate Jus
tices of the United States Supreme
Court now assigned to the first, third
eighth and ninth circuits, and another
.Associate Justice chosen by them,
constitute a commission for the decis
ion (only) of all questions relating to
different (not implicated) returns from
any State.
“The vote is to be counted on the Ist
of February, at 1 p. m., in the hall of
the House, the President pro tempore
of the Senate presiding. The pre
siding officer will open the certificates
in the alphabetical order of States, and
pass them to tellers (two on the part
of each House), who will read them,
make a list of the votes, and deliver
the result to the presiding officer, who
will announce the same.
“In case of but one return from any
State, no objection will be entertained,
except it be made in writing and signed
by at least one Representative and one
Senator. In such an event the Houses
separate and take a vote, and in case
they disagree the vote must be counted,
but in case they agree as to the va
lidity of the objection the vote must
be rejected.
“la case different returns are re
ceived from any State, they will be
opened by the presiding officer, read
by the tellers, and s referred to the elec
toral tribunal, after objections signed
by at least one Representative and one
Senator have been made. The objec
tions, a3 well as the returns, must then
bo referred to the tribunal.
“ The tribunal is to decide, by a ma
jority vote, whether any and what
votes from such States are constitu
tional and legal, and what persons were
appointed electors, and is required to
make a brief report in writing, which
must be signed by the members agree
ing thereto. This decision must be
read and entered in the journals of
both Houses, and tho counting of the
vote must proceed in conformity there
with, unless upon objection, made in
writing, by at least five Representa
tives and five Senators, the two Houses
separately concur in ordering Other
wise, in which case their concurrent
action must govern. No votes from
any State can be acted upon until the
objections previously made have been
finally disposed of.
“While the two Houses are in meet
ing no debate will be allowed, and no
question can be put by the presiding
officer except to either House on a
motion to withdraw. When the two
Houses separate each Senator and
Representative may’speak ten minutes,
but after the debate has lasted two
hours the main question must be put.
“The joint meeting cannot be dis
solved until the count of the vote is
completed and the result declared, and
no recess can be taken when a question
arises in regard to counting any such
votes, or otherwise, in which case either
House may direct a recess of such
House not beyond next day, (Sunday
excepted), at 10 a. m. Wbile any ques
tion is being considered by the com
mission neither House may proceed
with its legislative or other business.
“The act does not impair or affect
any right under the Constitution or
laws to question, by proceeding in the
United States Courts, the right or title
of the person who shall be declared
elected, or who shall claim to be Presi
dent or Vice-President, if any such
right exists.”
Dr. Carlton writes from Atlanta to
his paper as follows: “Gov. Brown
supported Gov. Smith in good faith,
and abandoned him only when his
case was hopeless. Released from his
obligations to his first choice, Gov.
Brown cheerfully acquiesced in giving
sanction to the will of the people, and
aided in electing Mr. Hill. By that
course, the ex-Governor has visibly
softened old time resentments and
animosities, and nas made hosts of
friends among the class known as
“coming politicians,” young and am
bitious men who will figure in the
political struggles of the future.” Now
what in the world did Mr. Walsh mean
when he telegraphed that “a man who
is not prepared at a moment’s notice
to sacrifice his best friend and sell out
to his bitterest enemy cannot make a
successful legislator ?”
Widow Van is attempting to
convert Wall street brokers by prayer
meetings.
The Nashville American of the 30th
published an obituary notice of Mr.
Stephens. The editor pours hot shot
into the Associated Press agent, for
going off half-cocked, In the first place,
and being too laggard, in the second,
Solicitor-General of Augusta Circuit.
Salem Dutches, Esq., has been ap
pointed by the Governor, and confirm
ed by the Senate, as Solicitor-General
of this circuit.
A better appointment could not have
been made. He is a gentleman of legal
learning and research, who will dis
charge the duties of the office with
zeal, ability and fidelity.
We feel confident the Governor will
never regret this appointment, or the
people, whose interest will be so effi
ciently served.
Port Royal.
Col. Wm, Johnston, former Presi
dent of the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta Railroad, and now Mayor of
Charlotte, N. C., was in Augusta yester
day. Col. Johnston, backed by a strong
following, has cast his eyes toward
Port Royal, and invested largely in
lands fronting the water west
of Broad river. Col. Johnston thinks
the present terminus of the
railroad a great mistake. The true
harbor of Port Royal is where Commo
dore Porter, in his report to tho
Coast Survey, located it. It is pro
posed to build a branch road from
Yemassee to this proper harbor. In
conjunction with the Northwestern
lines now concentrating or about to
concentrate at Knoxville, and the as
surance of a Texas Pacific road, Port
Royal bid3 fair to become a great place
for the importation of goods and the
exodus of the staples of the country.
The Plain Duty of the Gi and Commis
sion.
Conceding that the Electoral Bill is
temporary {expedient—a sort of patch,
as we have said, on the Federal panta
loons—the Albany Argus, which is sup
posed to reflect the opinion of Govern
or Tilden, thus speaks :
“The strong vote the very expedient
has received in the Senate is abundant
evidence of the strength of public sen
timent. If the Senate can thus yield to
the popular demand, the Commission
certainly will do so. The members will
meet, bound by the solemn obligations
of their oaths. When they close the
doors of their room, they ought at the
same time to close them against all
party bias. The same breath of popu
lar favor which wafts them into being,
demolishes alFparty wigwams.
“Supported by the unmistakable evi
dence of public sentiment, the Com
mission will be able to pass upon all
questions with judicial impartiality.
They ought to have the disposition;
and it will require more courage to re
sist the demand for an honest verdict,
than it would to conform thereto. It
will require the spirit of reckless daring
which animates Chandler, to declare
Hayes elected, if the Constitution re
quires otherwise. All the people desire
to know is, who is honestly entitled to
the office. Feeling this, the Commis
sion can proceed to ascertain that fact
with the same indifference to party that
a court can decide the law in some in
significant bridge case.
“The questions which aro to come
before the Commission are numerous
and grave, but they will be settled with
comparative ease, by a tribunal not
aiming to elect or defeat any one, but
simply striving to ascertain who is the
constitutional President.
“Take the case of Florida, which will
be the first State called. The people
chose Tilden electors. The Canvassing
Board illegally declared the Hayes
electors chosen, and the Governor of
the State so certified. The Supreme
Court of the State, a Republican body,
and the Legislature of the State, alike
pronounce the canvass null and void.
Can the vote of the Hayes electors be
received under such circumstances ?
Can this tribunal decide that electors
were chosen “in such manner as the
Legislature directs,” when the highest
judicial tribunal in the State and the
Legislature itself declare they have not
been?
“Next comes the State of Louisiana.
Is it possible that any set of men can
decide that a self-perpetuating Return
ing Board, with the power to throw out
legal votes lawfully cast by the thou
sand, is a constitutional body ?
“Next comes the State of Oregon. Is
it possible that any judicial tribunal
will decide that au] electoral college
can accept,the resignation of a candi
date who was not eligible, and who,
accordingly, did not receive a certifi
cate ; and can thus assume to create a
vacancy in spite of the fact that a seat
in the college is claimed by one who
held a certificate of election ?
“Next comes the State of South Car
olina. Is it possible that a judicial tri
bunal can determine that a conclusion
reached in defiance of the orders of tho
Supreme Court of a State, is a valid
and binding of the voice of
the State ?
“The tribunal will be supported by
public sentiment if it renders honest
judicial decisions. This is clear. And
hence such a decision will be rendered.”
Gov. Nicholls, of Louisiana, is a
Marylander by descent. His father
was born in Prince George’s county.

Board into smithereens. One by one the

Schneck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLS—THESE D£-
servedly celebrated and popular medicines
have affected a revolution in the heal
ing art, and proved the falla of several
maxims which have for many years ob
structed the progress of medical science.
The false supposition that “Consumption is
incurable” deterred physicians from at
tempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconciled
themselves to death without making an ef
fort to escape from a doom which they sup
posed to be unavoidable It is now proved,
however, that Consumption can bo cured,
and that it has been cured in a very great
number of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by SCHNECK’S Pulmonic.
Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with
SCHNECK’S Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pilfe, one or both, according to the
requirements of tho case.
DR. SCHENCK himself who enjoyed un
interrupted good health for more than
forty years,was supposed at one time to be
at the very gate of death, his physicians
having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his
recovery, many thousands similarly affect
ed have U3od DR. SCHENCR’ri prepara
tions with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany oach, making
it not absolutely necessary to personally
see DR. SCHENCK unless patients wish
their lungs examined, and for this purpose
he Is professionally at his principal office,

advice must be addressed. r
