CRAWFORDVILLE DEMOCRAT.
Volume 7.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP,
Correspondence Democrat.
Washington, D.C.,Janl 25th,
Just before the assembling of the pres¬
ent Congress, every little
of the Republican press, under in¬
structions of his master, set up
a howl that Randall would be elected
Speaker, that the Democrats of the
South were demoralized, and general
destruction of the party was marked
and certain. Carlisle was elected, and
then more furious became the clamor.
The nation was going to the demnition
bow-wows ; the South was in tiie sad¬
dle again ; pensions would be stopped
to uuion soldiers or confederates pen¬
sioned, and the industries of the coun
tiy would be paralized. Nearly two
months have elapsed, and every act of
the Democratic party has been for toe
good of the whole people. Every
measure introduced has had for its ob¬
ject the l est interest of the masses.
Against the griuding grasping monopo¬ toil
lies that have grown rich in the
and sweat of the laboring millions, the
party sternly set its face. At once it
set to work to restore to the public do¬
main the millions of acres of lands that
had been lavishly given away by the
Republican party to the rich and never
satisfied railroad rings ; to inquire into
the lavish expenditures of milllous by
the variousJexecuUves departments,and
why the people were being taxed for
millions each year more than the gov¬
ernment could expend. And now, in¬
stead of attempting to take away the
pensions of the union soldi-rs or adding
the confederate soldiers to tfie lists,this
destructive (¥) Democratic party pro¬
poses to. increase, rattier than deprive
the soldier of his pension, and to so
frame the laws that the soldier’s oath
may be respected and his manhood vin¬
dicated. commenced too
The howl was soon.
Already the reaction has 3 et in, and
Republicans who predicted dire cal an -
ities are beginning to shake their beads
and ask, ‘ why did we make such fools
of ourselves?” The howl only put
Democrats on their guard, aud if
tlu-re were any mad spirits in the party,
liiey have seen the wisdom of conserva¬
tive action, and wisely deferred to the
will of the majority. Instead of there
being a great gulf between certain
men, or great differences ,u opinion
ri|K»n national and party issues it is
touud that there is;t unity of sentiment
us there will be a unity of action.
We are not prepared to say definite¬
ly as to the course that will finally be
as reed upon relative to the tariff ques¬
tion, but are advised that all differen¬
ces will be amicably adjusted, and the
party a unit ji» its recommendations.
AH agree,oh the general principles, the

BUTLER *FOR PRESIDENT,
WHAT A BOUTHBRN WOMAN SAYS OF
TH* BARB SUGGESTION.
'
Editors Chronicle .
There was a time more than twentv
years ago when a lifb and death strug
gle engaged every energy of the
South. A time when men fought and
women prayed. Oh that wondrous
time in the long ago, With its crowded
life, its tragic memories! A time
when for men there was the fire of
musketry, the roar of artillery, the
charge of cavalry and “death shots
falling thick and fast.” For women
there was the agony of suspense, the
horrois of death, soothed alone by the
consciousness of a cause just and true.
Days, months and years passed on.
The end was inevitable. Lika the
prisoner of the Inquisition, we were
conscious that day by day and hour by
hour the walls were closing in upon us;
or like the victim in the fell grasp of
the anaconda, we felt the fold tighten
ing slowly but surely, until conscious
ness was lost in the unutterable agony
of the pressure.
Years roll their slow length along.
The bruised and shattered hopes are
healing by the aid of time—the great
consoler. Husbands, fathers, brothers
and sons have fallen—fortunes are
lost—but the true Southern woman
draws her forms to its full height and,
with hereditary pride, knows that the
cause for which was right, and loves the cause
she suffered most.
Time passes, and !o, another crush¬
ing, deathly blow threatens utter anni¬
hilation of pride and hope, the feeble
tendrils of affection, which kindly
Northern hands have aided in gtwiuing
around the helm of the national ship of
union, are destined to be torn, crush¬
ed and trampled upon by the elevation
of General Butler’s name for President
of the Union—the United States—we
are beginning once again to love. But¬
ler President 1 Southern women, do

were used continually. Becoming alarmed,

profession In such diseases,but other glands
became affected, and final I v they discharg¬
ed large quantities of matter, and slough

The boy became quite feeble and greatly
