Reaiackg.-We said some time since, that the result Of the elections III Aeutucky-a majority ot pseudo Wings being returned to the egisature-would terminate in the election of John J. 1rutenden, Esqulre, of Frankfort, to the Senate of the U. States. after the expiration ef Judge Bibi, term ot service. The subjoined toast drank at a Wing testigal-=celebrating Major T, ?. doores deteat-ai .sCapt Crabb's noteI,p in Eikton, Todd county, seems to indicate the determination of tie Wings of that quarter, en the subject. Ee should have thought, thai after Judge Bibb had turned his eoat to obIige Mr. Clay, the party to whom he had Qitoraed would have been wiling al least to give him a a,eas lease for another term. But all things in this world are mutable and uncertain. and nothing more sothan Kentucky popularity.

T'saois.-gshe papers to the east of Us are freely indplging in speculation upon inc politics of the officers recently chosen in this State. As usual, both parties are in the wrong in their calculaiions-and this may very well be, as the papers of the State have not furnished any correct data upon which to found them. From ali the information winch has come to us, we believe we are perfectly safe in putting down GENERAL DUNCAN, who is elected Governor of .ihe State, as anti-Jackson in bis politics, whatever may be his opinion of Gen. JACKSON as an individual. Eve " one knows that he is in favor of re-in- corporation of the Bank of the United States He offered the only definite pro- ject which was proposed at the last session in the House of Representatives, for this purpose, and advocated 1t in speech of some length. This fact, in connection with other votes and circumstances, proves pret- ] ty clearly that he Is no friend of the admin istration. Mir. JENmNs-who was Speak CT, we believe, of the House of Represent tatives two years ago, and IS now chosen Lieutenant Governor-is. if not in favor of re-charter ofthe present Bank, at least the advocate of National Bank He is termed in his own state "a moderate Jack son man, and opposed the Presidents exer- else ofpowerin in the removal of the deposites, and most of his subsequent unwafrantable acts. Mir. CASEY, Governor REYNOLDS and Mir. MAY, are the Representatives elected to Congress. The first, since his return home, has come out in favor of a National Bank, but we are not informed whether he has changed his views as 10 the present institution. Governor REYNOLDS opimons are more difficult to get at. in his politics, he is somewhat iiise like the ifishnan's i flea-"he put his finger on if, and tt wasn't there" He may be ih favor of the pre- sent Bank he would certainly vote for ihe establishment of another Institution. Mir. MAY,w believe. is precisely of General JAcKsoN's opinion at the present time, and ii relation to the present Bank bu. he, like the et}ers, is an advocate for new National
 Bank. So much for the Executive officers and tie Congressman. 1t Is impossible for ns to express any decided opinion of the political compleNion of the Legislature.

 sisam Doctors. The Rev. John M Gray. of Z. C., 3 clergyman of some re speetability and promise. lately fell a vic tim to the practice of these miserable quacks. His death was oceasipned by ta- king dose of Lobelia from one of these steamers, not because he was unwel, but to experience the operation of the medicine, He had been in the habit, 1t seems, of ad- mihistering the medicine, and desired to know its effects, before he dealt any more ef il to others.
 We have few of these sieom quacEs in this and inc adjacent counties, but our cifi- zens have learned tand some of them by sud experience, to place no confidence ia them.
 In noticing this melancholy incident, the Southern Christian Herald offers the fol- lowing remarks on the nature of LobeIia
 e have noticed this case, hoping that 1t viii serve as q warning to the public against the danger of encouraging,taen 10 administer drugs, with inc properties of which they are wholly unacquainted. To give LobeIia as aainnocent medicine, which might be taken merely for experiments sake, proves how grossly ignorant this nos trum maker was of its properties. The Lobelia Fnflata Is one of the most active medicines of the North American Matera Medica. Itis possessed of an emetic, su- doifie, and powerful expectorant effect When given with view to empty the stom- ach, t operates vehemently and speedily; producing, however, great relaxation, de- bility and perspiration, and even death, If given in over doses.
 The LobeIia Longihora, a native of some of the West India islands, is one of the most venomous plants. It is fatal to hors- es- swells them till they burst. Taken internally, ii operates as a violent cathartic, the effects of which no remedy can as- suage, and which ends in death. Vide, iindiey1s Botany, p. Isa-5. Such are the medicines with which qoackery makes innocent. experiments This, we thlnk, Is sporting with life. These remarks may, perhaps, give offence to some; but if they can be instrumental in saving human life, we shallscare very little who may be of tended.n

 The 'se editor editor oi the 1azetie flas made his appearance in a publication of better than five columns, in response to an article in OUT last paper transferred from the extra Political intelligencer, in which he abuses Coy. Pope, at round rate. He says, among other things, that the Governor will rot be continued in his office and in fact, that the President has been looking for his resignation for some time. A short year ago, the Gazette was loud in the Govern or's praise-a people were never blessed with so good Governor, according to that paper. But it whistles another tune now. Wonder who pays?

He says---ss we now frankly acknow- ledge that there IS STRONG reason to believe that the Scrip could not have been enelo- sed'' in the letter to Mir. Tollison. What q subterfuge! He has strong reasons to believe that the letter could not have con talned the Scrlpi Does he not kaolu pos itiyely and eertainly ly-that 1t never contain ed a single dollar of it? And yet he has the effrontery to talk to us about his strong reasons. This won't do, Mir. Woodruff none of your equivocation--none of your san3ag clauses. You have wronged the 
 Postmasters referred to-cast suspicion upon their charaeters-and you must apo- ogize without dodgtag. You must say, in so many words, that you have wronglully slanderod them. The pubhc viii not sub init to your equivocations you have made a Jatse charge, and you must say so.

Courts of Houor.--A bill has been in- trodueed into the British House of Com- mons, by Mir. Buckingham, for the preven- ton Of doelliag by institu'ing Courts of Honor. It proposes that these Courts shall consist of not less than three mem- bers nor more than seven, with power to hear and determine all cases referred to them by officers, evil or military, who may suppose themselves aggrieyed; and that the members shall be appointed by the principal officer in that department of the public service, to which the appealing par ties may belong. Each party shall select a second, who is to draw up statement of the case of his principal, in writing. When these statements shaliSbe laid before the officer in question, he is forthwith to convene the Court, for the purpose of hear ing the testimony and arguments of the respective parties. Their decision is to be without appeal. If any party, giving or taking offence, shall refuse to refer his case 10 the adjudication of the Court, the fact shall be published by their authority, and shall De taken to De an acquittai of the party consentng to such an appeal. In the event of duel between such parties, they are, if officers, to be suspended from the service for term varying from five to seven years; and if not employed in the public service, to be placed beyond the protection of the law for the like period. If, in such duel, either party shall fall, the other, with the seconds, Is to be held liable to maintain the families and dependents of the deceased, and to make pecuniary re- paration, as far as possible, to all who may be in any way injured by his death.

SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON !


SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON !
April 10th, 1884. 5
suppose you'll all be pretty consi-
derable struck up when you come to
see where now be, and SO III jest tell
you in as short order as possible, how
it come about.
Ever since | wrote you that last let
ter about the Rakoon story the GIN
eral tell'd me, and the Old Hen story
tell'd him, the folks about the gineral
haint give me no time to eat or sleep,
and have had nigh upon the hull gov
eminent to beat off; but so long as
had the gineral on my side, | didn't
care nothin about it. But tother day
the gineral he began to shake in the
wind a leetle, and this was about the
cause on't.-He and me was sttin talk
in over matters alone, and firm red
hot shot at the opposition folks, and es-
pecially at Squire Biddle, when telled
the gneral, says | gineral, its well
enuf for us to talk so among folks who
come to see US, for it is the natur oil
people to give one credit for honesty
at least, though he is wrong, ifhe ony
seems warm and determined, jest as
you was when you cut down that old
mans Bee tree, but says | my slate
don't tell me that the present trouble
all about the country is OWN to the
bank crampin folks. And with thai
! | reached down my slate and showed
the gineral. Now says |, here we see
that the bank actually has been lendin
out more money since we took the de-
posites away from it, than it had lent
afore that time. The gineral he look
ed over the tigers, and sure enuf there
it was, why says he, Major, how is
thisl what on earth then, say he, are
people grumblin att All our folks tell
/ me, says the gineral, that Biddle is
crampin people all over creation, and
! here now you show me as clear as day
light, that the bank haint screwed at
all. And with that the gineral he be-
gan to count on his fingers, and though
he can sometimes flyer out a pretty
considerable tuf sum that way, this
puzzled him amazingly. So to rights,
says he, major, what then is the cause
of all this trouble? Well, says |, GIN
eral, | suppose we shall know now
pritty soon. There is cog out some
where; SAYS |; and as the senate is
overhawlin the mill perhaps they'll find
it, and let us know. And the words
warn't more than out of my mouth
when in come Kindle and Blair, lookir
as though they had Jest been snaked
through gimblet hole, and they tellec
! the Rineral that the senate had jest
