,1 Xoble Speech.. : .. .:
The Hoik "-Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, is
iust.lv regarded as one of the foremost mem-
hers of the House of Representatives He
is IjoTil, ah.v patriotic- and.. hi the recent
speech made by hi in upon the bill forbid
.ding tj'c use -of troops' at the polls, he took
occasion 10 give utterance to certain sen-
timiMHs concerning the people of t le South
cm States, which provV him not' less gen
erous ami jost. It is so seldom, in these
latter days, that our people have justice
done thorn by Northern men of either po
litical party, that the speech in question
becomes exceedingly grateful and refresh.
in" reading.'" Mr. Ewing is a member, of
a family long distinguished in the politi
cal history of the State of Ohio. He was
an officer iti the Federal army during the
late war, winning the rank of general
by conspiciou3 gallantry and devotion.
lie is entitled by reason- of such service
to spiak for the men who followed the flag
of the Union during the four years of that
bloody struggle) and we would be-; glad to
believe that he voiced their sentiments.
His estimate of the characters, wishes,
purposes and per voices of the '"Confederate
Rrigadiers," wh ise presence in ' Congress
has given such sore trouble to the souls of
" - - - i i -
the stalwarts, i.f widely different from that of
Conger, Frye, Blaine, Conkling and others
of that ilk, who having remained in peace
and quietnesskt home when the integrity
of the Union was really threatened by
armed resistance, have, since that resis
tance ceased, discovered in the fact of such
presence a second, mid to their affrighted
souls, mow dangerous conspiracy against
the Government. Mr. Ewing speaks like
a gentleman and a soldier. 1 le does hut jus
tice to the men whom the people of the
Soutlr have sent to represent them in the
National Councils; and certainly, no high.;
er testimony could be given to t lie fidelity
of those, representatives than the preg.
uaut fact, which he mentions, that since
their entrance upon their labors all manner
-of thieving and blibery has teased. Mr.
Ewing. in the speech referred to, says:
"I see even the highest leader of the
Republican parly gel down to the small
J.iusiness; to use no harsher word,, of; pub
lishing lists of Confederate brigadies and
...soldiers' of less rank who sit here in Con
gress, ,..1 am amazed that they arejiot
ashnnied of it. Why are the Confederate
soldiers here? Uecause the whole South,
all the sweep of manhood from the cradle
to the grave had to enter the Confederate
army to meet our overwhelming numbers.
The Southern people have scarcely any
other men of experience to choose from, to
whom they are attached by the sympathy
ofcommou struggles, common calamities,
and common submission to the result.
I remind the gentlemen or the other
side that since the confederate brigadiers
have been in this House there have-been
no more great jobs passed through Con
gresstbat Vtbeir action and their i votes
tlie'desfructiotfof our warrnoney was stop
ped, and silver was at least partially re
monetized, and the broken soldiers of the
Union Army given their hard-earned ar
rears of pension. And I challenge contra
diction of the fact that, from the begin
ning of the Government until now Con
gress never has been purer and never guid
ed by more patriotic purposes.
Gentlemen of the -Republican party, as
you now sit and Took in the faces of these
ex-confederates men of character, educa
tion, purity of personal life, with hands
unsmutched (with pixbUc plunder--yoa
,knowr that they are yoHr peers in intelli
gtneri tod abiutyiud in' devotion to our
common country and its laws. -Xou do in-
justice -tovybuf own hearts if you say other
wise. , You know there is not a latent pur
pose of disloyalty either in them or in the
great masses of the Southern people Bey
represent. And you know that if the honor
of this country were assailed how, any
where or in anyway, they would fly to its
support with an ardor a9 strong as ever
. burned in joar own breast."
Such words as these are comforting,
.clmuogaatbey do, at a time when all the
efforts, of all the leaders of the Republican
party have been directed to the purpose of
JfiQg .tjje Northern heart, by the vilest
TnisreprnlatfoB of fthe sentiments, con
victions and desires.of the Southern people.
The KeBtueky IVomiuatloa.
T1k Democracy of Kentucky have paid
a merited. tribute to- moral heroism by the
nornln&tton of Dr, Xuke .P. Blackburn, for
Governor; It will be remembered ; that
Dr. Jllackburn gained an almost world
wide reputation bj his heroic eCFortS in be
half of the people whovere so sadly strict
fen by yellow fever during last year.
Among all who'1 gave their time, talents
dnd energies to the amelioration of the
suffering caused by the terrible scourge,
he stood conspicuous for energy and devo-
.tion; .the people of Kentucky, gallant.
: large-hearted and generous, regarded -bis
conduct with pride and admiration: and
have signalized their estimate of that gen
uine courage which, forgetting self, heeds
only the call of duty, by tendering him the
nomination for the highest office hx the
commonwealth. It too seldom happens,
that services like those of Dr. Blacfc-
bnm ' receive .'! annmnn'.'n rpnrnf ilAIL
As a rule, we belieare, the labors and aeri
fices of members of the medical fraternity
receive the scantiest acknowledgment and
reward. Benefactors of their kind, they
do the duties which come to their hand be
cause they are duties, urged thereto by
their sense of responsibility for the gifts
granted them and by the traditions and
teachings of their profession. Bj day and
by night, at the call of the rich and the
poor, alike, they eiidure fatigue and suffer
tng and expose themselves to perils, receiv
ing satisfaction, for the most part only, in
the consciousness-of duty cheerfully aud
faithfully performed. Sometimes, as in Dr.
Blackburn's case, conspicuous public ser
vice receives some public recognition, but
for the most part the labors and dangers of
these ministers of pealing are done and met
and the great public remain in ignorance
of them. Dr. Blackburn 's nomination is a
compliment to his profession most worthily
bestowed. He wjll, of course, be chosvn
the Governor of his Commonwealth, as the
Democratic majority in Kentucky is too
targe to offer hope of successful Republican
opposition. If he shall discharge the du
ties of the high office to which he shall be
called with the zeal, fidelity and ability.
which have marked his professional career,
and we believe Be will do so he will
carry with him, when he retires from pub-
lJC station, the best wishes of the thousands
of his fellow-citizens; who rejoice at his
present ffood fortpne.
' Tiac DemocraUe .Position. .
Washington correspondents report that
Messrs. Alexander Stephens and Emory
Specr. of Georgia, J. H. Evins and J. D.
Tilman, Sf : South Carolina, and Casey
Youngj of Tennessee, are the only mem
bers of the Democratic majority in the
House of Representatives who favor a
"back-dowu" by the party upon the repeal
ing laws.
We are sincerely glad to see that there
is no Democratic member of the North
Carolina delegation, who is willing to
make sacrifice of his principles to pur
chase a deceptive and danrerous peace.
We are not at all surprised, at the- course
adopted by Mr. Alexander Stephens. Ever
since he found reason to endorse Grant's
course iu the enforcement of some of the
harshest of the. Reconstruction measures,
we have had : no confidence in either his
convictions or integrity as a Democrat.
His connection with the great Democratic
party of the country has always seemed to
as merely nominal. We have never felt
that he could be trusted in any of the
great crises through which the party has
passed. He has never given it that earn
est, hearty and unwavering support which
we are accustomed to regard as the test of
party fealty. Democrat "after the strict
est sect" onrself we have always regard
ed his independenvy in Georgia politics as
hurtful and dangerous. No man, who re
fuses implicit obedience to the will of his
party'i as lawfully expressed in convention,
is. in our jndgment. thoroughly orthodox.nud
thisMr. Stephens hus frequently done. For
his mere intellectuality we have sincere nv
spect, but for his course as a public man
we have none;. and we sincerely trust that
his timid, time-serving counsel will have no
weight in determining the conduct of the
Democratic majority in Congress.
Of the other.gentlemen mentioned we
know too little to speak plainly. Mr.
Speer is regarded as a mere echo of Mr.
Stephens. Messrj. Ennis and Tilman
may represent the sentiments of our
South Carolina neighbors. We incline
to the opinion, however, that they
do not; Senator Hampton, wno was sub
stituted for. Senator Jones, of Florida, on
the Senate Caucus Committee, has; not yet
spoken on the subject; but if he. agreed
with his colleagues of the committee in
the 'recommendations said to have been
made by it to the caucus, he can hjirdly be
regarded as favoring a submission to Hayes
and the stalwarts in their crusade upon the
rights of the States.
Mr. Yeung. of Tennessee, stands alone
in his delegation in favoring a retreat from
the : positions heretofore taken by the
Democracy.

APPLETON'S
American Cyclopaedia
CONDENSED FROM THE UNABRIDGED.
TLLTJSTR ATE D BY SEVERAL THOUSAND
MAPS AND ENGRAVINGS;
COMPLETED IN FOUR VOLUMES.
The publishers of Tfte American Cycloptf
diaAn order to satisf v the demand for a cheap (
er work, herewith offer to the publie a similar
publication, but in a more condensed form.
Their agents , throughout the country find
many who really desire a cyclopaedia. but can
not afford the investment required to purchase
the larger works.
That no false ideas may arise in the public
mind regarding the character of the work,
either throutrh the careless statements of can
vassers who may be engaged in its sale by
subscription, or through the biased statements
of publishers of cheap cyclopaedias (whose
productions have been suggested and stimu
lated by the unprecedented success of the
American Cyc'opeedia) , it seems almost un
necessary to stats that this abridgment in four
volumes cannot possibly fulfill all the uses, or
offer all the advantages, of the unabridged
work in sixteen volumes, though the abridff
meiit does, contain additional topics which
have appeared or suggested themselves, as
well as all the most essential facts and fea
tures of the articles in our larger Cyclopaedia.
It Is calculated to supply a want which the
larger work has been unable to meet, as the
smaller cost of this abriged work will bring it
within the easy reach of thousands of persons
of limited means who have felt unable to
subscribe for the sixteen volume Cyclop;edia,
even to the advantages we offered in allowing
the deliveries to be made as seldom as one
volume iu three months. Such persoLs, by.
subscribing fo r the abridged edition in four
volumes, come into possession of the entire
oet much sooner, making it complete as a re
fereucc book at a much earlier date.
Although a useful and entertaing family li
brary the four volumes cannot supply the
place of the sixteen volumes, they nevertne
lees afford a most valuable practical C3 clopae
dia for ready reference, and we believe that
many patrons who have the larger.work in
their homes will secure this handy edition for
. v - : . 1 . -. if
While we "have included . -within the scope
of this work descriptions of the 'principal
towns, cities, and countries of the world, we
have not attempted to turnish a complete
gazetteer, which would only add to the cost
of the work, and be found behind the times
and useless to our patrons at the completion
of the uext census. '
The abridged editioil now offered to the
public embraces all the titles in the larger
work, together with several auditional titles
now treated for the flr6t time. The articles
have been carefully revised, and the informa
tion they contain has been corrected down to
the date of publication. It is hoped this man
ual of popular knowledge will meet the wants
of our readers who desire a convenient book
of reference, without the elaborate treatment,
and copious and minute details, of the origi
nal edition. In order to enhancff the practical
utility of the work; especially for teachers,
the pronunciation of 'the different titles is
given, with great care and exactness.

world's progress is closely followed. The
magazine has from its inception been received
with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor
have its merits failed to receive iust encomiums
from persons of ability everywhere. tf
