THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21,1874.
A BOW OF PROMISE. I
- ]
The Democracy have to gain 36 mem- .
bers of Congress, in November, to se
cure a majority in the House of Rep- ,
resentatives. If the Western elections
are indicative of a reaction against *
Radicalism— and there is every reason
to so regard them —the necessary num
ber to constitute a Democratic control
of the next House may be looked for
when New York and Pennsylvania re
cord their votes. That the Republi
cans are heartily discouraged by re
cent events; there can be no doubt. It
is likewise true that the Democracy
have been uplifted to an unexpected
degree from the slough of despond.
Wherefore the promise of good
news from New York and Pennsylvania
may be considered extremely fair ; and
though this should not be counted on
absolutely, the chances are at least in
our favor and considerably against our
ancient and implacable adversary. One
of the best signs of the time is the
manner in which the Radicals them
selves receive the blow of defeat in the
West. They are no longer defiant, but
rather exhibit the humility which
comes of a consciousness of crime
which has been overtaken and punish
ed at last. Public opinion is against
tho Republican party, in spite of
“ Southern outrages,” so-called ; and
it really looks as if the sovereignty of
the people had indeed escaped the
pollutions of four years of civic war
and nine years of a falso and treacher
ous peace—the peace of desolation.
In his speech, at the unveiling of
the Lincoln monument, the other day,
President Grant alluded to the man
who slept beneath the memorial shaft
as the best friend of the South at the
North —that when he was assassinated
the South lost her best friend. How
does it happen that President Grant
does not emulate the virtues of Lin
coln, so far as the South is concerned ?
Why Should the South mourn the
death of Lincoln, unless the living
Grant compels her to do so by con
trast ? It is not yet too late for clem
ency, good will and restoration. Gen.
Grant still has it in his power, if not to
gain a third term, at least to retire
from his exalted office with the respect
of all sections. We echo, on this point,
these words of the St. Louis Republi
can :
“ If the President is wise, he may do
much to give benignity to the close of
his term. He can do justice to the
wronged people of Louisiana, and
throw on Congress the responsibility of
maintaining the Kellogg usurpation ;
he can assist the despoiled tax payers
of South Carolina to a just deliverance
from their oppressors; he can arrest
Attorney General Williams’ partisan
and lawless scheme for Carrying Ala
bama ; he can dismiss the mischievous
office holders in the South who have
made so much of the trouble in that
region, and fill their places with repu
aif 'tne aisthroea aodthefn states to
tho same tranquility which he aided to
give to Arkansas and Texas; and he
can, by other similar measures, restore
the whole country to that peace which
he invoked at his first inauguration.”
Surely, it is not asking too much of
the President, with the voice of Ohio
and Indiana still ringing in his ears,
to show himself what he says Lincoln
would have been—“ the best friend of
the South.” He will have ample op
portunity to do so, when Congress
meets. Meanwhile, we await the ver
dict of the November elections, and
trust that they will give the President
additional cause to perceive that the
will of tho majority in this country
is for universal peace, cordial restora
tion of true principles of government
and friendly sentiments between the
States.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
LOUISIANA MATTERS.
More Prisoners.
New Orleans, October 20.—Fifteen
persons, charged with complicity in the

Excitement in Shreveport—Threat
ened Terrorism.
New York, October 20. — A special to
the Tunes, from Shreveport, reports
n uch excitement from the prospective
arrest of seventy prominent merchants
and freeholders. The arrests are
grounded upon the following:
“Shreveport, October 16.—We, the
undersigned, merchants of the city of
Shreveport, in obedience to tho request
of the Shreveport Campaign Club,
agree to use every endeavor to get our
employes to vote tho people’s ticket at
the ensuing election, and in event of
their refusal so to do, or in case they
vote the Radical ticket, to refuse to
employ them at the expiration of their
present contracts.”
This was signed by sixty-nine of the
leading merchants of the city. If war
rants of arrest are issued there is a
general determination on the part of
the younger merchants, who are im
plicated, to mount their horses and
take to the woods. This might end in
guerflia warfare. A. B. Cevisse, for

scheme as that followed out by the
robbers. The robbers were aware of
this, and after placing a cord around
Mr. Sawyer’s neck to prevent any out
cry 7, forced him to accompany them
by threatening to kill his babe in case
he refused to comply with their de
mands. Arriving at the post office,
the robbers effected an entrace by re
moving a pane of glass with a dia

put in their possession.

Consumption Can Be Cured.
SCHENCK’S PULMONIC SYRUP.
Sehonck’s Sea Weed Tonio, Schonck’s Man
drake Pills, are tho only medicines that will
cure Pulmonary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a oough
will occasion tho death of tho patient; they
lock up the liver, stop tho circulation of tho
blood, homorrhage follows, and in fact they
clog tho action of the very organs that caused
the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyepepsia are tho
causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consump
tion. Many persons complain of a dull pain
in the side, constipation, coated tongue, pain
in the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness
and restlessness, tho food lying heavily on tho
stomach, accompanied with acidity and belch
ing up of wind.
These symptoms usually originato from a
disordered condition of tho stomach or a tor
pid liver.
Persons so affected, if thoy tako one or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in theso eases
be suddenly cbeckod, will find tho stomach
and liver clogged, remaining torpid and in
active, and almost before they are aware tho
lungs aro a mass of soros, and ulcorated, tho
result of which is death.
Sehonck’s Pulmonic Syrup is an expecto
rant which does not contain opium onany
thing calculated to check a cough suddenly.
Sehenck’B Sea Wood Tonic dissolves tho
food, mixes with the gastric juices of tho
stomach, aids digestion and creates a raven
ous appetite.
When tho bowels are costive, skin sallow, or
the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tenden
cy, Schenck’s Mandrako Pills are required, j
Theso medicines are prepared only by
