.' : The Virginia legislature has vot
ed tlowri the 10.000 .appropriation.1
'for tie-centennial. They won't
give a .cent ennial for such things.
.Perhaps they didn't like the scent
of Blaine's speech.
We bow in grateful acknowledge
ment of the kind words and wishes
wafted us by our exchanges on the
Commencement of our fifty fourt'i'
volume. When you get old we
will recipiacate in respect for your
gray hairs.
Budge Doolittle, of Yisconsin,
thinks that General Sherman will
be the next republican candidate
for President, and that the power
which proposes to nominate him
would recreate the office of General
of the Army and place Grant in it
for life.
The election- of Mr. Beck to the
Senate of the United States from
Kentucky is ono of the very best
which has teen made eince the
illustrious John C. Breckinridge
presided over the deliberations of
that body as vice-president.
A distrusted Methodist who is
unable to see the propriety of
Grant's renomination by the church,
says of Bishop Haven that he is
one of those 'fussy sculs who are
always going off half-cocked.' It
looks very much like it. His fuK
some endorsement of Grant looks
very much also as if he was inclin
ed at times to go off half Babcockcd.
The contemplated raid, which
the ring Pilgrims of Philadelphia
proposes to make upon congress for
an appropriation of 1,500,000. is
very far from being generally en
dorscd, even by the press of Penn
sylvania. It is regarded for the
most part as a scheme for margins
of profit, anJ should be given a
speedy quietus upon its first intro
duction.
The Philadelphia North Ameri
can coolly says that 'amnesty can
wait,' but that the centennial can
not I' That is to say Blaine & Co
can refuse Jeff. Davis pardon and
consequently the righ to be a free
visitor to the centennial, but Vir
ginia must vote S10.000 and the
southern members of Congress 1,
500,000 to the centennial ! Such
a mean spirit as this can never be
tolerated, and we would let the sel
fish centennial wait just as long as
its champions vote us out in the
cold.
The school question, the taxa
tion of church property, free trade,
protection, amnesty to Jefferson
Davis, and the Cuban revolution,
the Baltimore Gazette tells the
democratic leadcis in Congress and
the democratic newspapers, are
profitless questions far the ap
proaching campaign, and must be
abandoned if the party means to
elect the nex; President. It adds:
'The keynote of the great campaign
is the restoration of the government
to honesty and economy, to re
trenchment and refrrm.'
The Washington correspondent
of the Boston 7erald has been
studying the Presidential question,
and comes to the conclusion that
the nomination on the republican
side now lies between Mr. Blaine
and Senator Morton, with a very
large possibility that Gov. Hayes
may come in as a compromise can
didate. Senator Conkling, he
thinks, i3 only strong in 'the ability
to derange the plans of those whom
he deem his rivals.' The corres
pondent adds : 'Trie two men to
whom the 4emocratic nomination
to-day is possible are Hendricks
and Thurrnan.'
The northern radical papers are
delighted witli the judicial elections
in .'South Carolina, naturally
enough, for it is another draft of
bitterness the 'nnhappy whites of
that State are made to drink. The
pcopb of the State, "who .know the
parties, are in ao exultant mood.
Gov. i Moses, known as the robber
governor, who narrowly escared the
penitentiary, is one of them,
Wrirht who is made Supreme
Court Judge, is a full blooded
Michigan negro with a bad reputa
tion. Shipper is another , negro,
is known as "a notorious drunkard,
thief and gambler. The others are
white Bcallawags, and the less said
aboat their fame, tire better. The
election of sucli men is a stigma up
on the party that endorses it. It
is more than a civilized people are
bound to endure. . .
. i J
Blaine Working for Party Capital and
the Presidency.
TThe recent effort " of ex-speaker
Blal ne to exhume the cold corpse
which all statesmen had agreed to
bury; ; to flaunt the bloody- shirt
and shake,; to horrify, the raw head!
and bloody hones of the : warr- wili
not rebound to'- that gentleman's
glory. We thought in this 'ceiU
tehnial year a fraternal spent would
he welded between the Northern
and Southern sections of the coun
try. That all would hence-forth
strive to make our common country
glorious and blessed.
But it seems the average radical
is not yet willing ta let go that
political trump card. If Mr.
Blaine supposes his presidential
prospects are improved by such in
temperate speeches in the national
legislature he has but to scan his
party journals to discover his error,
notably Harper's Weekly, which
has recently come out against the
third term.
The democrats kept their temper
admirable, and we have reason to
be proud of their course.
Our concressman from the
Metropolitan district, Hon Jos. J.
Davis, threw some hot 'shot n
Blaine's locker. We append some
general opinions from various jour
nals, as showing public temper:
'Mr. Blaine's ambition has da
feated itself,' says the Baltimore
Gazette.
'The people of the United States
naturally object to Grant s playing
poker witi the crowned heads of
Europe on the Cuban question,' is
a casual observation of the St Louis
Times.
The Philadelphia Times echoes
the plaint of Col. Sellers : 'It is
getting to be more and more a mys
tery how anybody at Washington
manages to preserve his virtue
though perhaps the majority only
go there after they have lost it.'
Politicians should weigh well
these words of the Springfield He
pnblicari: 'This centennial feeling
in the air, this new and ardent sen
timent of fraternity in tbe hearts of
the people, cannot but affect poli
tics. If is not to be prudently
ignored or underrated. It may yet
precipitate very unexpected results.'
Says the Philadelphia Telegraph
(Republican) : 'We esteem if rea
sonably certain that the average
sentiment of the country, while it
disapproves the ex-Speaker's argu
ment to except Jefferson Davis
from the action of the amnesty hill,
will cordially approve his proposi
tion to reinstate the persons left
affected after the various amnesty
acts of Congress.
Baltimore Sun : 'Mr. Blaine
and his party instead of indulging
this malicious and revengeful spirit,
might better be repenting of their
own ferocious cruelty during the
high carnival of passion from which
all judicial feeling was banished,
in which they sent Mrs Surratt to
the gallows, and in which they re
fused to defer the gratification of
their infernal dispositions until rea
son could resume its sway.'
Harper's Weekly, which has
been dealing the third term scheme
some sturdy blows of late, having
been hard pressed by the New Yor k
Times to state whether it would op
pose General Grant if renominated,
unequivocally answers Yes ! Where
of the Times grows solemn, and
severe, and takes it for granted
that the Weekly would support a
rag money Democrat. Now let
Mr. Curti3 press the Times to a
square definition of its position,
says the Baltimore Gazette.'
Literary Piracy-
, Col. Donan, in the Raleigh Sen
tinel of the 12th inst., makes some
startling developments regarding
the reputation of J. Proctor Knott,
the great congressional humorist
from Kentucky. We agree with
the colonel that there can be no
more heinous a crime than that of
plagiarism. When the toiling edi
tor has sweated, fussed, fumed and
perplexed his brain, at last pro
ducing something worthy of peru-
sa', only to have it stolen to make
fame for another, he has a right
to expose the theft.
Zence we think' the editorial
fraturnity should rush forward to
his assistance. Bead what he says.
J. PROCTOR KNOTT.
; The papers are gabbling over all
the proa and cons of this individ
ual's appointment as chrirman of
the congressional judiciary corns
mittee.: We are not disposed to
arise any . knotty points' of order
or policy against this Knott on the
democratic legislative log. We
simply proposo to state one ' fact.
J.: Proctor Knott's whole claim te
national notoriety rests upon two
speeches made in congress. One
was on the finances, the other on
Duluth. With his Duluth fanfr-
onaae we have nothing to do. But
i widely published and- langhed-
nt financial spread-eagle was stolen
htcratim et verbatim et punctuatim
et every other atim, from a long
and laboriously prepared article in
the Lexington (Mo.) Caucassian, ot
a few months before. ' It was writ
tea by the present editcr of the
sentinel, and contained many
curious calculations in regard to the
national debt how many thousand
miles beyond the moon it y would
reach in one-dollar bills pasted end
to end how many times it weuid
girdle the earth in twenty-dollar
gold pieces laid edge to edge how
many miles above the clouds it
would towar in silver dollars piled
flat upon each other how many
two-horse wagons it would load in
gold and a hundred other fantastic
computations, based on weights and
measurements with which we had
bothered every jeweler of our ac
quaintance for days. The article
appeared in the Caucas ian of
March 19, 1870, and was sent
marked to many prominent poh
ticians, north and south, J. Proctor
fCnott, of Kentucky, among the
number. During the session of
congress in the winter of 1870-'71,
he made himself famous asaquam
and comical financier, by rising in
his place and declaiming that two
column editorial without ch an ging
a figure or a comma; every idea,
word and syllable ours. And we
suppose it stands recorded in the
Congressional Globe of that day,
as his speech, while we have before
up, at this moment, the Caucasian,
of eight months previous, contain-,
ing it. Wo denounced Mr. Knott
at the time, as a brain pirate, a
thieving bummer fattening on other
men's wit?. It was, and is always,
a crime that admits of no apology.
It's base, shameful, inexcusable,
the most heinous form of robbery.
Steal an editor's pocket-book; and,
if it's like most of them, you get
worse than trash, a batch of old
hashery and washery bills, tailors'
duns and sich, and nothing more.
Steal his good name; and in ninety-
nine cases out of a hundred, you
take what he never had, and ne"er
cared or deserved to have. Steal
his wife; and,' in multitudinous in
stances, you do him an incalculable
service, on for which he would
gladly write you a first-class obitu
ary, with all the poetic embellish
ments, free of charge. But steal
his brains; and you leave him poor
and wretched indeed a defenceless
dove in a world of keen-witted,
swift-winged and sharped-beaked
vultures a sickly, fleecleess lamb
in a wilderness of wolves and jack
als. Orthodoxy teaches us that
perdition is bottomless; but we
thought and, after five years' calm
reflection, still think that, in
the performance we have detailed,
Mr. J. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky,
demonstrated the falsity of the
doctrine and struck bottom. And
'that's what makes U3 'spise a
mule;' that's why we desire, even
at this late day, to put ourself on
the 'con' side of the discussion as
to his fitness for the chairmanship
of the judiciary committee.
Our Washington Letter.
Washington, D. C, )
Jan. 15tb, 187C. $
JEditor Southerner :
After occupying nearly two whole weeks
in discussion of the question as to whether
the Senate has the power to elect a Presi
dent of the Senate pro tempore when by the
exigencies of circumstances that important
officer has been removed, and after having
been as it were in a fog about the matter,
when both Democrats and Republicans be -came
hopelessly mixed np in what would
appear to a looker on a most unpardonably
stupid manner, that august body the Sen
ate of tbe United States, baa at last decided
by a vote that it hat tha right to elect a pre
siding officer whenever such an officer shall
become necessary, and that such office shall
not be a sinecure, but be subject to the will
of the Senate.
This is substancially the result of the la
bors of the Senate for a whole week.
In the House a warm and spirited contest
has been going on daring the whole' week
oyer the Amnesty Bill. This bill, most ap
propriately introduced by Mr. Randall at
the beginning of the Centennial year, and
bearing in all its features the very essentials
of good will between the people of all sec
tions of the country, was no sooner offered
at tbe Clerk's desk than it was attacked with
all the violence and venom of which the
Radical party is capable. Mr. Blaine, with
a blind fury and hatred that he will live to
regret, assailed the people of the South with
a vindictiveness only equalled by his utter
abandonment of reason.
There are thousands of good people both
North and South who have read and listened
to these stories of prison outrages by both
sides until they are sick and tired. We all
know there was coffering enough that could
not be corrected, and thee people have long
ago said "Let there be an end to this; wheth
er it be true or not it is passed, no good can
ever come of its re-recital, and we can never
become friends again if this crimination and
recrimination is to be kept up" And the
feelings of this class of people, who may be
found in both political parties, have Deen
excited, their minds disturbed and troubled
and all the bad passions of which they - are
possessed harrowed np to their own
damage and misery by his diabolical effort
on the part of Mr. Blame to rlly together
around himself the ultra radical leaders of
his'parly. And thh. was not patriotism
though he would seek to throw that cloak
about it. It was simply party spile, and Mr
Blaine would see the country plunged again
in strife if only A could occiipy the highest
seat from whence to look down upon it.
All this opposition to the amnesty bill was
simply for political effect, and already some
of the gallant speeches made opon the floor
in favor of the passage of that bill have been
ordered to be printed by thousands by the
Republican committee to be sent through
out the country to be garbled and distorted
before the gazing multitude at the political
meetings in the coming campaign as the
sayings of rebells and traitors ; and thus the
Republican party under the leadership of
Blaine expect to frighten the whole conntry
into Radical rule again. But it won't do.
It is too late, as we shall see.
The amnesty bill has been defeated for
the present, and what will the people of tbe
country sayl -"Does this look like peace V
"Is this to be" our Centennial reunion t "
Mr. Blaine in his excess of bilteines for
got to be cautious, ami he Las ruined w hat
ever prospect lie ever had to be President
of tbe Uuited States ; and he will find before
many months that there will be no more
unpopular mar. in this country than him
self. The temporary defeat of the amnesty bill
by the Radical party is political capital for
the Democrats, and will produce a revulsion
of feeling throughout the whole country to
tbe damnation of thoso men who dare to
stand in the way of lecousiliation.
This is the record of one week here, the
two houses of Congress having had no other
business of moment before them. a.
American Genius. bloody 6c Sankey.
The great revivalists, Messrs. Moody and
Sankey, who electrified staid old England
with their eloquence and enthusiasm, are
fair samples of American genius. Sprin. iug
from among tha common people, their sym
pathies are alive to the wants of the whole
people and herein lies the secret of their great
success. Those who seek to be popular must
study and be fan.iliar with the wants of the'
masses, and prove loyal thereto. To this
fact we may trace the grand success ia busi
ness, at, well as in religious undertakings,
which many American have achieved. Stiik
ngly illustrative of these suggestion is tl '.,
igreat establishment, located at Buffalo N. Y
and known as the "Worlds Dispensary." a
most appropriate name, indeed, for that vast
institution, within whose walls are manu
factured remedies which are in demand in
every quarter of the globe, and at which a
corps of distinguished physicians ana sur
eeons, under the personal direction of Dr.
Pierce, are constantly administering to the
needs of thossands ot sutterers everywhere,
and whose succf ss in the treatment of all
:orms of chronic ailments has become so
well known that there is scarcely a hamlet
in the land in which his name is no, familiar,
It's proprietor, says the 11a aid and Torch
light, of Detroit, "is a man of the people, writel
for them, and to them tenders his eminent
professional services." His advertisements
are earnest exhortations. Like the great
revivalists, his enthusiasm is multiplied by
the unnarlaileled success ct his enterprise.
as well as by the efficacy of his remedies
in curing disease. The people Mic e in him
and his remedies, because, as the New York
Tribune says, "he syirpathizes wi'h them in
all their afflictions, efforts and attainments."
Hence, Dr. l'ieice's Gulden Medical Discov
ery is to-day more largely employed as a
Wood and liver medicine, and also a cough
remedv. than anv other remedial agent in
tlin world. His Favorite Prescription, he
does not recommend as a "cure-all," as is so
often done by compounders of worthless.
humbus nostrums, but to-- diseases ana
weaknesses peculiar to women it lias proved
itself so much ot a specinc mat it now en
joys great popularity and universal confi
dence. Dr. Tierces rieasaiit rurgauve
Pellets, "scarcely larger than mustard seed,"
have proved so agreeablo and reliable as a
cathartic that they ni) rapidly taking tne
place of the large, nauseous pills heretofore
so much in use : while his Compound r,x
tract of Smart-Weed is a favorite remedy
for Colic. Cramps. Summer-complaint, Di
arrhoea. Dvsetiterv. Choleia. and Cholera
Morbus, and also as a liniment. Of lt
base's Catarrh Remdv. and Dr. Tierce's
Nasal Douche, little nted be sr.iJ, is they
are known everywhere as the greatest spec
ifics for Catarili and ''co'd in the head,"
ever given to the public. And besides
this large measure of success, Dr. Pierce
seems likely to achieve as great reuo'.vn as
an author as he has as a physician. His
Commox Sr:ssE Medical Aivisi:k, a Look
of about 900 pages, wjich he sells at the un
paralelled low price of Sl.GO, has already
been sold to the extent of exhausting two
editions and conntivg to forty thousand
coppies. The secret of Dr. Tierce's success,
as well as that of the great rvivali-ts, and
scores of othor Americans, who by their
genius have advanced s.ep by step troiii ob
scurity to affluence and distinction, consists
in treating the people with consideration,
sympathy, candor, and hor.esty. No man,
who hopes to attain either wealth or dis
tinction, can afford to deal unfairly with the
world or be indillorent to the wants and
best interests of humanity.
