“WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 19, 1877.
Editor Calhoun Tillies :
Tl)e Democratic Hey resontalive who
shall propose in the House a simple
resolution rJcfitiripr the la-- that mnn\
persons believe 31 r. Til l n to have
been elected President, and that the
process by which Mi*. Haves secured
the office was unconstitutional, and di
reccing the Judiciary Committee of the
House to ascertain and report the most
ppeedy and math-factory manner in which
the whole questVln can be brought be
fore the highest cou’t ot the country
for final settlement will inseparably
connect his name iu a m%t honorable
manner, with an event which must al
ways remain a marked one in our his*
torj. We are living to-day under a
ruler who was not ei'rted j the depur -
mentß of the government are pr sided
over, ami appointments *to office are
made by men who receive their author
ity from that man ; a Justice of our
highest court has been appointed by
him to a life office, though not yet con.
firmed j the interests ot labor ei com
mcrce —all interests.of the countiy
are in the hands of a citizen who, as
most of us believe, does not rightfully
bold his office. And yet a session o'
Congress h s nearly passed, and no rep
resentative has suggested meats oi
righting the wrong by legal process.—
The excitement of last winter has pass
ed flwaj, and the excuse that iprjuiry
might mean violeuee no longer exists
The quostion may now be tried peace*
fully, and in the in ercst of honest gov
ernment hereafter it ougli' t>. be tiied
speedily. Who will, bv a act
assure himself,of an Lon ruble and per
manent place in the history ot Repub
lican government ? Wbo dare object
to a legal decision of the question
It may be said, as it lias been said,
that several Justices of the Supreuo
Court have passed upon the question
They have, but not as members ot ti e
Court. None can have forgotten the
wide difference between the, acts of
Chase, while Secretary of the Treasury,
on the currency quetion, and theopiu
ion of Chase, as Chief Justice, on the
same question. None can forget the
late written statement of Justice Strong
whioh was substantially that he believ
ed Tilden elected. The Court may be
tested, and the gravity of the question
is such that Congress, and not the pm
ties immediately interested may well in
itiate the proceedings.
Republican Senators had a second
canvass on Saturday, and the Commit
tee previously sent to remunstiate wit!
Hayes as to his conduct, made a report
The upshot of it seems to be tba:
no one can.sugg<B' effective means o
immediate punishment or restraint.
Senator Coupling’s Committee bas eail
ed upon the Secretary of the Treasury
for the reason why Cpukling’s friend
in the New Yore Custom House wen
removed and the Secretary replies, re •
citing the fact that certain reforms
were found necessary in the office and
it was thought they could bo best se
cured by a change in the officers. It if
% question how many Senators Conkli m
can get to assist him in pieventing the
confirmation ot the uew appointees.
From the proceedings of the canvass
refoired above, it is evident he will n- t
be unanimously suatuuied by the Re
publicans and will therefore fail it he
makes a fight, for the Democrats will
all vote if or coufirmation.

The directors of the L-e Monumenu
al Association held a ui etingon lhurs
day evening last to con idor the report
of the Monument Committee and to
adopt a design for the monument.
Among the many designs submitted
wore those ot Thus M .Career. 1 S liar,

oud is now located in Rome, and wh
designed and executed the statue of Re
ligious Liberty, w hich was so much ad
mired at the 0 nteunial), and others
all of which wore mucli admired, and
reflected great credit upon the several
authors.
\ ir maturer do'ibe ation the de
sign'of Mr. Jholt>y * f this e <y, w..s
selected by the directors by a unanimous
vote.
The design adopted const- s as f I
lows : A mound of earth ISS feet in
diameter at the base, an il-*■ '* 1 ! I L— : 1
in the center portion 72 feet square, r..
be level at the devation ol i- loot. j h
slope on each side ot this squ r wi.i
have a base of 58 fee! and a rise of 12
feet.
lo the center of this uiou and the non
ument proper wil be placed op m piles,
0 ipped with timber, spiked a 1 bi> t and
to tliO piles ; then, to preserve the wood
from decay, covered with concrete,up 1 u
which the brick and gruuite fournß.u n
will be built to receiv • the marble col
umu that is to sustain the statue ol Rob
ert E. Lee. A Doric column, wtH
winding staircase through is cente?,
mule ot white matble, ten feet in diim •
eter at its base and sixty feet in height
will be placed on a granite base of four
steps of three feet each and a statue of
Lee fifteen feet iu height, resting on a
block or die 7 feet 8 .indue in height
from 1 lie ground level to the top ol the
statue lUti feet b inches.
The mound wi 1 1 j cn Ameri*
can monument as well as a military de
fence. The pyramid of steps are the
t. mbs of Rmg and Princes their
moral grandeur and stability having
stood the test ol ages as historical mou
uuien t.
The Doric column unsurpassed in
sublime majesty, righteous in ail its
proportions, strength and oeauty com
bined, is an appropiiate memorial of
great and good men , it has been ad
uiir and by the world for nearly threi
thousand years, and no architect during
the Christian era has added to, or tak
en from it, one line that could ihiproye
its beauty.
This design is in the hinds of the
chairman of the commit tee.) and it 1
ft dposed to make an arrangement with
some responsible party to have copies of
the same handsomely photographed and 1
framed and disposed of tor a small
consideration to the public, the pro
ceeds '0 be devoted to the payment of
the work.
The intention of the association is to
begi i work at once, carrying the mono
merit as near completion as p ssibfo ai
the available funds of the association
(now amounting to about 814,000), and
to depend upon a generous sud appreei
utive community to furnish the lund
to complete the uoble Woik. The whol®
struture completed will cost about 880,
000.
I’ho monument, it will be remember
ed, is to be erected on Tivoli Circle,
which henceforth is to be known as
Lee Park, in accordance with a city or
dinance appropriating the circle for the
purpose.—A 7 ! O. Democrat .

Sarsaparilla

from internal ulceration, and Uterine
disease, Syphilitic and Mercurial dis
eases, Dropiv, Dyspepsia, Emaciation,
General Debility, and for Purifying the
Blood.
This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock—-with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that the full alterative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it'enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun
try repose iin it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other _ alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

in their operation,
most thorough and
searching cathar
tic medicine that can be employed : cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
Ayer’s Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a world-wide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, ahd are so composed that obstruc
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
