Mr. Bayard expresse 1 his admira
tion and sympathy for t hose wlm had
served the republic in the Held, but
he suggested that the principle of the
resolution was not sound. It had not
been our policy to s**t up a favored

dliition would be apt to beget ani

lit it was intended. He thought it
was hontmrv to the spirit <f the con

mittee of tin* whole on the tariff bill.
Mr. Durham, of Ky., opposed the
motion, desiring the morning hour

j responding increase upon articles of
j American manufacture.
Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, advo
j eated the resolution of ten per cent.,
j and argued that the increase on the j
j duty was paid by foreign manufacto- j
i ries, and not the American consum
ers. Aftyr two hours debate under 1
:the live minutes rule, Mr. Dawes
(mored that the committee rise for
[the purpose of cutting off debate.

Mr. Dawes said it had Is e l leiiealr.

the bill was for the benefit of New
England, and especially the sth sec
tion, which revives the horizontal tax.
He desired to say now that New Eng
land did not desire this increase, but
i the secret of New England’s prosperi
-1 ty was that she always adapted hcr

Debate on the section having been !
closed, the committee proceeded to

Address of our Hemorrallc (Hu
meii to tlie southern People.
Washington, February IS, 1875.-
Tho following address has just been
prepared by the Domocratc members
of the South and Southwest:
To the People of the Southern State s;
You have coutided to tho under
signed in this conjuncture of affairs
the delicate and difficult task of
guarding in tho Federal Congress
and your public interests, your rights,
your reputation. You will therefore,
pardon the liberty wo take of address
ing you, at a period so critical, upon
a matter affecting yqur destiny and
t hut of your posterity.
You cannot have failed to observe
the persistent efforts of some of the
loaders of tho Republican party to
revive the animosities of tho late war,
which, happily, are fast giving place
to a spirit of concord and*unity in
every section of our common country.
It is impossible to predict certainly
tlu* effect of these appeals to passion.
We believe that through tho honest
representation of a few upright and
conscientious Federal officers and
agents, an independent and able
press, and of many citizens—without
regard to party -tho true condition
of the Houtncni States, and the real
sentiment of Southern people are be
ing gradually made known to our fel
low citizens of the North. We hope
for their favorable decision when
fully apprised of all facts. The great
end of good government will be
reached when the people of all sec
tions forget that we have ever been
enemies, and come together again as
in the easy days of the Republic,
Emulating each other in devotion to
tho best interests of tin* whole coun
try, with this exalted purpose in
view, there is nothing inconsistent
with the honor and manhood of a
brave people to resolvi* to suiter
with heroic patience, whatever be
their provocation and wrongs, look
ing through tho fearful present
to a hopeful future, and repell
ing unjust epithets anti gratuitous
insults with dignified moderation.
Lot (*vcry white man in every neigh
borhood in the whole South regard
himself as a commissioner of peace,
maintaining tlie kindliest relations
towards the black man, remembering
that the responsibility for tho ex
treme poverty to which we have
been reduced and the corrupt gov
ernment to which his vote has
subjected us, rests so much upon him
as upon tin* bad men who, with tho
assistance of Federal support, have
by appeals to his worst passions,
sought to make him our enemy, while
we labor by all honest means to con
vince him of the truth that our inter
est and ids are identical, and that
both must be preserved by good gov
ernment, and that those who stir up
strife between us are the enemies of
both races. Lot us at the same time
see that he is fully protected in his
guaranteed rights to vote as he
pleases in all elections, and let us con
tinue to deal with him honestly and
fairly; let us continue cordially to in
vite to our midst t hose of any politi
cal party who either seek to know tin*
truth or to And homes upon our soil.
We do not exaggerate when wo ad
monish you of the disheartening fact
that every street disturbance, every
homicide of whatever character and
by whomsoever committed (by black
or white, Republican or Democrat),
such as arc incident to every com
munity upon earth, is perverted
into evidence of a spirit of lawless
ness and violence and a purpose
to accomplish political ends. We
well know the gross injustice
of such charges, which have cre
dence only where ignorance; of our
true condition prevails. Strenuous
efforts arc now being made by those
who misrepresent, you, t<> induce
the passage by Congress, of tin* most:
dangerous measures, in order to ir
ritate our people, to drive them to
despair, to provoke them to violent
out breaks, in order to furnish an ex
cuse for applying for military inter
ference. We express the hope that
a majority of the present Congress
will not be found ready to sanction
Hindi legislation. If it be accomplish
ed, it. would bo against the protest
riot, only of t he Democrats, but. of tho
moral world, and tho statesmanship
hero of the party in power, and of
such Republicans as William C.
Bryant, Evarts, Hilaries Francis
Adams, and others whoso patriotism
and sense of justice arc known to the
entire country. Wc may, however,
be mistaken. The most extreme,
oppressive ynd unconstitutional
measures may be imposed upon you.
In such event, we would appeal to
t he wisdom and patriotism of a long
suffering people by every hope of tho
future, for continued forbearance and
a hopeful reliance upon tin 4 virtue
and so nee of justice of the American
people for tin* ultimate vindication of
our rights, the protection of our lib
erties and t in* safety of our Republi
can form of Government.

Jordan’s Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
I HAVE been saying a good deal through the
]supers of lute extolling JORDAN’S JOYOUS
•lUIiEPas a most wonderful NEURALGIA CURE;
but for lear you may exclaim an Hhakspeare
when he *aid “You cram these words into mine
ear against the stomach of my sense,” 1 now sub
mit to you what persons way who have tried my
Neuralgia Julep, with the most complete and
satisfactory result:
Columisus, January 16, 1875.
Mr.Jordan: I take great pleasure In recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia. It
has produced a most wonderful relief in one of
the severest attack* of neuralgia my daughter
everhss had. She has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the u*ual remedies with little suc
cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two day* since we began
tlie use of it, and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
Petersburg, Va., Jan. 15, 1875.
Jno. /,. Jordan, Esq., Columbus, Ua.:
Dear Sir—llaviug learned through my friend
R. A. Bacon of your “J. J. J.” preparation for re
lief of neuralgia, and tested it with perfect suc
cphh iu my own family, iu the wor*t case, too,
thut ever came under my observation, I now
enclose fifty cents for a second bottle, as I con
sider it too valuable a medicine to be without,
though 1 have no immediate use for it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. g, 1874.
/><-. J. /,. Jordan: Dear Sir—Your Joyous Julep
for Neuralgia ha* been tried in my family, and
with the most happy result,and I find iu it all you
claim for its virtue. And I unhesitatingly re
commend it to all who are suffering from Neural
gia a* something a little remurkablo in its cura
tive power. J. D. WORTHY.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 18, 1874.
Hr. J. L. Jordan —Your medicine, Joyous
Julep, is without an equal for Neuralgia. Having
j been a great sufferer from the pain, and having
| tried tho prescriptions of many phynicians, yet
I nil proved of no effect until I tried four doses
of your Julep, when I was immediately relieved,
and have not been troubled since.
H. C. MADDOX.
Lake City, Fla., Nov. 4, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan —Please send me another bot
tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. I have
never found anything equal to it for Neuralgia.
I Two dose* cured me almost instantly, and I can
■ safely recommend it to do what you say.
Very respectfully, Ac.,
JOHN M. JKFFRYB.
Fkiinandina, Fla., April, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan, Columbus, Oa.:
Dear Dir—lt affords me pleasure to add ray tes
timony to the efficacy of your "Jordan’s Joyous
Julep,” in gi\lng instant relief in Neuralgia; aud
to all appearance, as effective as instantaneous.
I was effected daily with Neuralgia, and since
taking a few teaspoonfuls of your relief, two or
more week* have elapsed, aud there are no indi
cations of return. 1 hope that the human fam
ily will raceivo a benefit commensurate with the
importance of your discovery, and that your
pecuniary reward will Ik* equal to its well de
served merits. Yours, respectfully,
