The*advantage of this compound over
the plain oil is, that the nauseating taste
of the oil is entirely removed, and the
whole rendered entirely palatable, xhe
offensive taste of the oil has long acted as
an objection to its use; but in this form
the trouble is entirely obviated. A host
of certificates might be given here to testi

THE LETTER OF “WILKINSON.” .
April 19,1880.—Hon. Jos. E. Drorrh:
My Very Dear and Mucn Esteemed
Friend—Notwithstanding my age ana
long'retirement from the forum and the
hustings, I cannot disguise from 1 myself,
nor will I conceal from you, the deepest
interest in the result of the approaching
gubernatorial convention. You know
that I haye no “axes to gnnd, and that
whatever may be personal in my zeal to
see Governor Colquitt renominated by
the convention, and re-elected by the peo
ple, relates exclusively to ml ennobling
sentiment of unselfish friendship which,
for four generations, has bound his famuy
and mine together in the strongest ties of
mutual good will and kind offices.
You know, too, that this personal senti
ment could not swerve me by so much as
a hair’s breadth from that line of political
conduct, which I might deem the wisest
and best for the Democratic party and the
country. To these my whole life has been
devo’ed with a constancy and independ
ence of thought and action which must
silence any suggestion that, in what I am
ahout to say, 1 can have any object below
the honor, the usefulness and glory of
that grand old party, whose fortunes are
immeasurably dearer to my heart than
those of any living man.
Democrat as I am, in the most secret
recesses and the profoundcst depths of my
mind and heart, I yet esteem it worthy to
be not very lightly considered that this
man’s father was one of the most notable
historic patriots who ever illustrated the
statesmanship of our good old mother
State. These Colquitts, distinguished
alike in peace and war, are Georgians—
the outgrowth of Georgia society, and
Georgia institutions; and for one of the
thousands of humble men whose friends
they have been—of the free, unhought,
unterrified, unpurchasable Democracy
whom they have served with uncommon
ability and singular fidelity tlieir hands
never stainedjwith bribes and their hearts
undefiled by lies and slander—I am proud
of them! .. . ,

I read them
warm from under the mailed hand of that
“first Virginia gentleman” of the latter
part of nineteenth century with a glow of
proud satisfaction that Georgia blood was
as red and rich and mantling as high and
gloriously upon the brow of bravery as
the best blood of the Old Dominion.
Bom and reared among them, and hav
ing all my life been in their confidence
and communion, I know the manhood of
the native sons of my dear old native
Georgia; and I prized this certificate from
the Admirable Crichton ot American poli
tics. I knew how well these sons deserved
this tribute of praise—one of whom is now
the honored chief magistrate of Georgia,
and the other sleeping well in a glorious
grave in her soil, upon whidi the tears of
beauty and patriotism have crystalized
forever.
I had seen/ our gallant governor in his
very boyhood dashing from the top of the
mount of fame into the political storm, in
the language of William Wirt, “like the
eondor of South America, which pitches
from the summit of Chimborazo above
the clouds’ afid sustains itself at pleasure
in that empfyreal region with an energy
rather invigorated than weakened by the
the rejection of a man endeared to them
by all the memories of the past, all the
blessings of the present and all the hopes man,
of the future ? ..
Let the enemies-of Governor -Colquitt
beware! He is modest,, patient, very far.
from self-assertion or vanity,but his friends
—who have “like passions”as other men—
have seen the beginning of the war upon
him with a burning indignation which will
he all the-more sweeping and terrible in
its reprisals when it shall cease to be si
lent and find its expression in the emphat
ic eloquence of action!
They have seen that beginning, and
have waited with exemplary patience for
the mad counsel of these men to correct it
self. Now they propose tQ see the end of
this unholy and unpatriotic war, and if
these madmen persist in their scheme of
WTfiah and pf reckless raiCto-aee the end
of tneir capacity for evil!
If Colquitt into be rejected upon the
motion of such men as ~.aair him, speak
ing for myself only, and from u»y own
knowledge of liuraan. nature, and my |
own observation and experience, ard In
view of the progress towards disorganiza
tion which has already, been wade, I
think there may be good reasons to fetir
that the party itself may be given over by
a disheartened, disgusted and outraged
constituency to an&rcliy and dissolution;
I know that all. suggestions of thin sort
will be met by incredulity and answered
by the manifest' folly of such courses as
may lead to the result I apprehend. Some
observation and experience have disarmed
me of surprise when I see men, under the
influence of passion, act irrationally,
and, in spite of all considerations of prm-
ciple, or prudence, or policy, precipitate
themselves and others into irremediable
^ButfPmnst check up the speed of my
too impatient pen in this course of gen
eral observation, or this letter will become
intolerably long. I turp to a brief review
of facts connected with the administration
of the chief executive office by this Rian,
who has beeu subjected to so much of pet
ty, puerile and malignant criticism. \\ ltli
a moderation and a modesty which every
old friend of his knew to be characteristic,
Governor Colquitt long waived in favor of
others all suggestions of claim to the
highest honor in the gift of the people of
Georeia, and, to his own exclusion, gladly
aide (Jin the elevation of others to the
high offices of the Slate. But the time
came when the wish of the people to ac
cord to him an honorable recognition ot
his merits would grant him no such op-
tion tr and by acclamation, and with entire
unanimity, a large delegation of as fine
material as the Democracy ever sent to a
convention, constituted him the candidate
of the parly for the govemondnp. His
rote was fully 80,000 majority—exceeding
by a score of thousands, any former vote
cast in this State for governor.
Under such auspices as these, with
character for morality, social amenity, ac
tive beneyoleureaait^S^nftV^fiien^ir
made him the idql of his Intimate friends
nt, never swerving from principle
hutsturdy as an oak, always “onward and
upward and true to the line.” .
And now this I say, and in saying it I
but echo the sentiment of three-fourths of
{ba
le people of. Georgia, of all creeds and
arlies, colors and conditions, and I say it
in the teeth of Tiis malignant enemies.
' i ''
with my hand on the throat of the most
unscrupulous and least, excusable con
spiracy wjqch ever, assailed “the good
name, fame and credit” of any public map
In Georgia, Alfred H. Colquitt deserves to
rank among the most enlightened,,patn r
otje, faithful, industrious, capable, modest^
firmest and truest statesmen, who, by dis
tinguished services, have enrolled their
names on the official records and entitled
themselves to the love, admiration and
gratitude of the .State.
I say this to youifrom the bottom pf my
heart, and, if you choose to do so, you are
at liberty to let the people hear it through
the press, without any name, and without
it only because I have more confidence in
the power of the truth than I have in that
of any authority, and prefer that, as Bacon
says, men should consider “the impor
tance of what is said rather than the im
portance of him who says.it.” I ought to
add in sheer justice to myself, that I attach
no importance whatever to the weight of
my own name, and have an invincible re
pugnance^ to appear to court tliepublic.at-
tention, as Thive rid possible personal
ends to accomplish.
But if any one of the envious conspira
tors, who creep, panther-like, through the
jungle, upon tbe track of this map, with
stealthy tread, seeking to spring qpon
him from behind^ any one of the petty
penny-a-liners, who indulge the low’satis
faction to he derived from “an atheist’s
laugh” at .the vulgar wit with which he is
assailed oh account of his ministrations at
tlie altar of piety, or participation in the
benevolent and religious enterprises and
institutions of .the Christians of Georgia,
will render a good reason to the public
why he should know uiy name, I pledge
myself to give him, publicly or privately,
all the satisfaction lie can desire.

Alfred H. Colquitt entered upon his ca
reer as chief magistrate. In his firm hand
the scales of justice and honor have not
wavered for so much as “the thousanth
part of a poor scruple;” and in great, as
carefully as in Small things, has he watch
ed day and night oyer the interests of liis
people. When he came into his office, the
clouds aud discouragements of the' war
were still lowering upon the prospects of
the State. She shared the common for
tune of her sister Southern States. Her
name was “cast out as evil.” There were
only bitterness; “all uucharitableness, :
and denuuciation for her from those sec
tions of tlie Union not allied to'lls by a
fellow-feeling, growing out ‘ of“iommon
suffering. “Fraternal sympathy” was
myth and a word of mockery.
Gov. Colquitt went to these people- upon
their own invitation. Hp carried the great
heart and the fearless heart of a real Chris
tian statesman. Never, by so much as
jot or a little, did'he abate his self-respect
or the claims of Georgia to be esteemed
the peer of any State in this trnipn. He
looked them in their eves.. He' spoke’to 1
them Words of “truth arid"soberness.” He
prayed with them. He carried the mes
sage of the peace-maker and received tbe
sage of the peace-maker and received the
blessing, for him and for ns; of the God of
the peace-maker. He left'those grim ene-,
mies of tlie South, with prayers on their
lips—a psalm in their hearts, and tears in
their eyes as they bade him farewell with,
blessiugs on his head for him and his peo
ple.
The credit of Georgia was established.
I do not say that Governor Colquitt had 1
merely worldly and political motive in
his mission to the people of New York—
:! But I
very far otherwise!
: do say that jt
is not left entirely, iri this universe,that the
“devil takes care of his own.” The credii
of Georgia was established!'’ That is a
fact J The profane will acoount-for it and
deem of it as they list—economists may
account for it upon whatever principles. I
choose, in all circumstances to accept it at
part of the good providence of tlie God of
tbp peace-maker. Every description qf
bonds for which' Georgia is bound is at
par, and some of them hearing premium
rales, thatrixdte the admiration of opr.
sister States,and attract investments from
all quarters. trtwSsu:
Through the efforts of Governor Col
quitt and under liis skillfal^nanagement
nearly $500,(XX) from unexpected and ex
traordinary sources have been r 'covered
into the treasury. In addition t!&- thifc -.a
principle has been established which ma
terially increases the annual revenues Qf

“whistled down the wind” by .an Imperti
nent, profhne, witless»suggestion tliat
•“GovemorColquitt has gone to sdme Sun
day-school to make a speech ? ”
Governor Colquitt’s visits to other
States, his winning ■ presence, his Chris
tian and statesmanly appeals to the fra
ternal and generous sentiments of i the
North, have absolutely wrought wonders.
The power of liis single word to-day in
the very best political and social eircles of
the North is the highest testimony to! his
worth and character. It is not invidious
—not .assuming—for his'friends; to say
that to his personal efforts, more than to
the combined efforts of every other South
ern man, is to be attributed the rapid and
radical change Which has occurred iri the
feelings of the better sort of Northern
people—people whose Influence upon the
country wiil be permanent and controll

South. I sky this- without intending to in
timate any offensive claim of superiority
to ail other men. I only express my owu
opinion that this right-minded man by
simply adopting tbe principles andmethods
of the gospel of peace, patience and love,
did attain, in a great emergency of our
human affairs, the- eublimest effect of a
lofty statesmanship, an effect quite beyond
the reacli of self asserting, vain political
plotters and mere party • policy-mongers.
Upon such an achievement as this,
overnor Colquitt’s friends may well rest

If left to the children of Georgia they
would re-elect him. If left to the women
they would re-elecbhim. If. left to the
negroes, .they would re-elect him. And
to-day, if an honest, straight-out expres
sion of the public sentiment could be.liad,
four-fifths of the white men of Georgia
would re-nominate and re-elect him!
Is it not too much for the broad-shoul
ders of patience, too much for the great,

man and such a governor should he ma

too much for human credulity that the
evil tongue, “set on fire of hell,” should
revile and calumniate such a name as that
of General Colquitt! Ye revilers!

He stands as white as snow;

No name of those in the long list of her
executives has been so vilely assailed.
The explanation is easy to the historical
student. The fate of Aristides is illustra
tive. He was condemned because people
called him “the Jusl.” 'Filate’s wile ex
pressed the popular verdict when she
called Christ “that just man.” Colquitt s
type of manhood is too exalted for the ad

silence all opposition to the governor’s

rise up, and with one voice, proclaim him
governor for another term.
We cannot, ignore the benefits, and, at

The vote on the amendment resulted
in 51 ayes aud 32 nays, and the point of
no quorum was raised by Mr. Baker. A
call of the roll was then ordered, which
showed the presence of a quorum. The
question recurred upon the amendment,

Both parties consented to the considera

investigating committees. Tlie Senate
passed a resolution authorizing the com
mittee to take full original evidence.
There was no doubt that the committee
had full authority to investigate all the
merits of the case. Mr. Spofford at one
time filed a request for more evidence,
wliidi was denied by the committee, on
the ground that sufficient testimony had
been taken. This ruling,- Mr. Hampton
thought was unjust, but it was, under the
resolution, fully competent for the com
mittee to decide when to stop taking-testi

the Senate. The Senate at that tin. «
nounced its deliberate judgment that Mr.
Kellogg was entitled to his seat, yet it
now Hjaimed that that action had
no binding effect. Mr. Hampton coukl
not admit the principle that the settle
ment of a contested case on its merits
could-be overthrown at will upon the ac
cession of a majority of a different parly.
If this case can be reheard now, what
to prevent it from being, heard again and
again. In all litigation 1 ’ there must be
some end of the strife,and this case should
rest where it is. :< i ‘ .
Mr. Hampton then cited numerous au
thorities and precedents in this country
and England to show that it was a well-
established principle that when a case was
once settled'upon its merits it could not

ing the title to seats forever in question
were mure disastrous than to have au oc
casional case wrongfully settled. The
whole weight of authority seemed to
Mr. Hampton to show that the Sen
ate acted judicially, and That its
action was final. He had carefully avoid
ed the political aspect of the case. He
dared not trust himself to enter too- deeply
into that question. All his sympathies
were with the contestant and with the
Siate of Louisiana which had suffered so
great • wrong; but the Senate had
no powe«T^Ufress that wrong. Time,
the grea£nealer, could alone assuage her
wound?. He hoped the people of that
State, with whom his own 1 people had so
much in common, would not misconstrue
his action. - u .... .*
The Senator from-Georgia (Mr. Hill)
had expressed a hope that Southern Sena
tors would not ignore the right in this case.
That great Senator would hardly refuse
to admit honesty «f motive,in tltose differ
ing from the committee, when, as in Mr.
Hampton’s case, tlieir sense of duty led
them to sacrifice their personal feeling.
Tlie flag above them was that of all the
States, and all were equal here. South
eni Senators were not here, asi might be
inferred from the report j>f the minority of
the committee, on probation or- tempora
rily, hut as equal representatives of sover-
eigh States. They haa no need to excuse
or explain tlieir conduct. They would be
■‘udged rather by their acts than their pro
fessions. Let them do their duty and dis
regard consequences. .He thanked the
Senator from Georgia (Mr. Hill) for deny
ing a rumor dishonorable to his State.
He has fought on -bloody fields with
her gallant troops, side by side
with those of her sister State of
eorgia, tod by the Senator’s colleague
(Gordon). They went where honor
could be gained,hut.where personal safety
could not be found. If,in those dark days,
when it was not my good fortune to en
joy what I now do, the benefit of the pre
cepts and example of the Seuttor from
Georgia, I upheld as best I could the hon
or o£ my State. I trust that I shall not
prove recreant to it now. The people of
South Carolina can best judge how
their honor' is guarded here, and
should it ever be my misfortune to mis
represent or disappoint them in any way
by having the courage to follow my con
victions, they, will at Ieastsay, “he braved
tlie shaft of censure and shame, and on
the field of honor pledged a soldier’s

After voting down the motion to ad
journ until Monday, the Senate resumed
consideration of the Kellogg-Spofford
resolutions. Mr. Pendleton, who had the
floor, said the ooustltutloa made the
Sen&tu judge of its own members. It was
a judicial body, so far as was necessary
to determine all matters relating to quali
fications of those who claimed seats there
in. It bad this jurisdiction always, and
-could grant rehearings upon sufficient
grounds. Therefore, in liis judgment,
the principle of res adjudicata was not
6trictly applicable. If a man should be
admitted to-a seat upon forged papers,
the admission certainly could not
be considered final. Plenary power,
of rehearing and reversal, however,
should be exercised cautiously and con
servatively. The courts granted new tri
als only upon the discovery of frand, er
ror or new evidence. The Senate wonld
respect the decision of a former Senate un
less it should plainly appear that essential
facts ltad beeu ignored t>r fraud practiced.
In the present case all allegations as to
the illegality cf the Packard legislature
and the corruption of the returning board
and of Kellogg were made before the de
cision of 18*7, by virtue of which Keliogg
was seated. No new evidence had been
adduced.
He said he did not agree with the Sen
ator from Georgia, that the decisiou of a
State ss to its legislature must in all ca
ses bind the Senate. The Senate could
not reverse, its decisions to conform them
to those of thejStote. Ug solemn judg
ment must be saade upon the best evi
dence procurable at the time as to which
is tbe true legislature. The testimony ta
ken before the committee in this case
proved nothing but tlie utter villainy of
tlie witnesses. It did not prove Spofford’s
charges. Whether they were susceptible
of proof or not lie did not know, but he
would not rote to set aside the fohnet- ac
tion of the Senate upon such evidence,
even if it were new evidence.
At the conclusion of Mr. Pendleton’s
argument Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin,
spoke in opposition to the resolutions.
They were then informally laid aside and
a number of private bills were considered
and passed.
A bill to arrange for the better accom
modation of the congressional library was
then taken up; and after some amendment
was passed. Adjourned until Monday.
In the House, Mr- Covert, of New
sYork, chairman of the committee on ag-
rfculture f reported a bill making appro
priations for the support of the agricultu
ral department. Ordered * printed and re
committed. The bill recommends tbe
appropriation of $213,000, which is $13,000
less than the estimates. ’]/- ■ , •. ■„
The Houso then went into -commit
tee of the whole on the legislative, execu
tive and judicial appropriation bill, and at
2:20 the committee rose and reported it to
the House. The first amendment on
which a separale vote was demanded was
that providing that the salaries of store
keepers and gaugers at all distilleries that
inash less thau sixty bushels Df grain per
day shall not exceed fifty dollars per
month while the distilleries are in opera
tion, and thirty-five dollars while the dis
tilleries are not ioi operation, and that at
all other distilleries storekeepers aud
gaugers shall not receive exceeding fifty
dollars per mouth when, distilleries are
not in operation. The vote resulted:
yeas 1D2, nays 100. ■ No other amendment
of. importance was voted upon separately,

Mr. Gibson, of .Louitana, then roie,
amid some confusion, to call up the ad-
ioucument resolution.
Mr. Tucker, of Yirginia, raised the
question of consideration, stating that he
desired to move that the House go into
committee for the consideration of - She
tariff' bill. The House, by a vote of lilij to
gomery. A request of this character is 45, decided to consider the adjournment
very rarely granted when it relates to a resolution.

on motion of Mr. Bright, of Tennessee, a
hill passed making aa appropriation for

to offer a resolution declaring, it to be the

election. • rirf ; • '.
Messrs. Reid; of’Maine, and Bland, of
Missouri, objected. ,
The speaker announced that an order
of the House had set aside the session ,of
to-day for the consideration of reports
from the committee on education and la
bor. 1 dJl
Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, called up, as
a question of privilege, the adjournment
resolution, said was recognized by the
speaker.
Mr. Gordon, of Yirginia, raised the
question of consideration to call up the
bills to regulate Chinese immigration, .to
enforce the eight-hour law and to apply
the proceeds of the sale of public lands to
the education of the people.
sir. Townsend, of Illinois, inquired
whether It was in order to move to re
commit the adjournment resolution.
The speaker replied it was not, inas
much as that motion had been made and
defeated yesterday.
- In the midst of a number of points of
order, and when the House was in a good
deal of confusion, Mr. O’Niell, of Penn
sylvania, walking down the aisle, man
aged to get in one of liis characteristic
little speeches to the effect that the ad
journment resolution^ had given more
hope to the hearts of the people than aliy
legislation which had been proposed
during the present session of Congress.
Washington, May 15.—Mr. Towns-
hend inquired of Mr. Gibson whether he
would allow an extension lor debate, and
on receiving an answer in the negative
expressed his hope that the demand for
the previous question would be voted
down.
Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, asked leave
to offer an amendment providing that tlie
House take a recess from May until No
vember 8th.
’Mr. Gibson refused to yield the previous
question', and tne main question was or
dered. The three minutes’ debate, then
proceeded,
Mr. Tucker said he had opposed the
resolution in committee and in the House.
He meant no disrespect to his colleagues
when he said that in his judgment, in
face of a calendar of 1,200 or 1,500 bills,
and in the face of three tariff hills repor
ted to the House, Congress would be
wanting in its true duty to the country if
it should adjourn in twelve business days.
[Applause on the Democratic side.]
There was not time in twelve days for
Congress to _ attend intelligently
and well to its duties. Why shall
we go home,” he said; “are we afraid to
perform the duties which the people sent
ugtodo? If we are afraid to meet the is
sue before the country by deciding one
way ot other, why should we hold onto
our seats? Why should we not abdicate
them and return to the people? I have
opposed this resolution in the committee)
and I here declare my deep • conviction
that Congress will be derelict in its duty
if it adjourns without performing what is
required of it.” ? '
Mr. Cook, of Georgia—“We asked for
bread and you gave us a stone.” [Ap
plause on the Republican side.]
Mr. Tucker—“We have reported three
tariff bills, and the quest ion of their con
sideration is before the House, and a3soon
as we report those three bilb for consider
ation, we move that the House adjourn
without their consideration. [Applause
on the Democratic side.] And that’s the
doctrine from Townshend. It may be said
that I have some private war claims that
I wish to get through; I say 110. I know
of 110 war claim that I am in favor of on
the House calendar. The people of the
South do not desire the war claims before
this House to be paid by the government.
The claims I am speaking of are claims
as just as those of the bondholders. The
question is whether when the government
owes a man five hundred dollars we
should adjourn without 'payingit, and say
that we hevc saved the credit of the gov
ernment because we have paid the bond
holders.” [Applause on the Democratic
side.]
Messrs. Stevenson of Illinois, Weaver of
Iowa, .Townshend of Illinois, and Dun-
nell of Minnesota, opposed the resolution.
Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, said the
gentleman from Yirginia (Tucker) had
created the impression that those who vo
ted against tlie resolution were opposed to
tlie tariff hills. This he denied, and de
clared that the South Carolina delegation
would be found *voting in favor of these
bilb ifthey ever came up for considera
tion!.
Mr. Garfield spoke in favi 1 .if the reso
lution, and Mr. O’Connor, of South Caro
lina, said lie had voted for the resolution
deliberately, and he had the courage to
adhere to" his vote. An unwarrantable
assault had been . made on those gentle-
meu on his side who had had.the courage
to vote for the resolution. They had
been charged with dereliction of duty, and
they had been told that their votes 'in
volved opposition to tariff reform. Let
him say|to those gentlemen that South Car
olina had been the first State in the union
to fling to the breeze the motto of anti-
tariff. South Carolina stood to-day as in
1S32, pledged, bravely and indomitably,
to the overthrow of au iniquitous tariff'.
The committee on ways and means 1iad
beeu 'in session six moutlis, and had
W'aited until this late date to report a hill,
and when they did report the bill they
confessed to the country that they could
not pass it, "hut that they wanted to make
a record. [Applause.] There should be
a little more statesmanship in this body,
and statesmanship consisted in attaining
practical results. If the Democratic tar
ty confessed they could not pasS a bill for

He believed it to be for the interest qf his
party and for the interest of the country
that Congress should adjourn.
Mr. Sparks, of Illinois, Closed the de
bate. He proposed that Congress should
adjourn if his vote could help it. It Was
said that those who voted to adjourn now
were not in favor of a low tariff'. He had
always supposed that he came as near be
ing a free trader on that subject as it was
possible to make a man who had reasona

colleague’s (Townsend’s) salt proposition]
and for any other gentleman's bill to re
form the tariff 011 paper, and if he was
toid of any other article on which tlie ta
riff' could be reduced, he would vote for ft

Thocsanas lead miserab’e lives, suffering from
dy rpepsia, a disordered stomach and liver, pro-
uucing bilicnxneas. heartbnrr.coriivoness, weak
ness, irregular appetite, low spirits, raising food
alter eatmr.tud often ending in fatal attacks cf
fever. They know thev arc sick, yet get little
sympathy. The unfailing remedy to prevent
these afflictions and restore health is Bnnmons
Liver Regulator.
CAUriON.
As there ore a number cf imitations offered,
we would caution the public not to allow some
other compound to be palmed off under a similar
sounding name, with the assurance that it is as
good. Rear in mied that the ou‘y object such
dealers can have, is the fact that they can make a
few pennies extra nrodt by selling the spurious.
None genuine unless in our engraved wrapper,
with-Red 8” trade mark, stamp and signature
unbroken.

could not do more, and now he wanted to
adjourn.
The concurrent resolution for adjourn
ment on the 31st instant was then agreed
to by yeas 121, nays 90.
Mr. Goode moved that the House pro
ceed to the consideration of reports frea
the committee on education and labor.
Mr. Reagan antagonized this with the
inter-State commerce bill, but Mr. Goode
was victorious by 72 to 71.
Pending a vote by yeas and nays, the
House at 1;30 adjourned.
Grant and Conkling to Each
Other.—Senator Conkling, says the
San, insists on running Grant as the only
man who can give us a strong govern
ment and practically establish the freed
om and equality of the colored race in
the old slave States. He wants somebody
who will snub the old slaveholders and
humiliate them.
Grant himself, on the other hand, has
been proclaiming peace and good will,
and gently, wooing the Southern people
for their votes and talking pathetically
about the blue and the gray!
JBLne and gray! Any color to give him
votes!
After all, inconsistencies-seem consis
tent in the. Republican party.
Four years ago all unalterably opposed
to a third term; now all unalterably in fa
vor of a third term!
A party of principle!
A party of motley hues!
A party of all sorts of principles!
Is it unjust or ungenerous to pronounce
such a parly a party of no principle what
ever?
Notice.
Congress Water. None genuine sold

freedom from everything hitter,, acid or

Fisk Culture—An Oyster Park.—
Major Ferguson,, fish commissioner, has
inst established a new hatching house at
the navy yard, Washington, and on Satur
day trrer 600,000 shad were hatched there,
and will be placed in the upper Potomac,
and Patuxent He has also 500,000 shad
eggs in the house . at Havre etc Grace,
whence the fish will be distributed to the
Snsqaebanna and adjacent waters. Mqjor
Ferguson has been busy recently collect-
iupeggs at night on the Potomac, and says
the fishermen tell him there has been a
large increase in tlie number of shad in
that river, and attribute it to the artificial
propagation. He has instructed the men
at Havre de Grace to collect eggs of her
ring, white perch and rock. For several
weeks he has been engaged examining the
coves and creeks on the hay and rfter
fronts with Abe view of establishing a park
for oyster breeding. He has had offered
him two or three admirable locations,
each of the owners being anxiohs to have
the park established on their place, and
as soon as he has made a selection opera
tions will be begun for the season, prob
ably about the latter part of May.
