President Lincoln and Negro Citi-

neas, enrolls Abraham Lincoln and Ste
phen A. Douglas IS opponents of "negio
citizenship" Both these distinguished
statesmen were, to be sure, opposed to
negro suffrage in 1858; both are sincedesd,
but Mr.. Lincoln lived long enough to see
that the war had made negro suffrage nee
esssry, snd Mr. Douglas would have agreed
with him had he lived SIS long.

During MI. Lincoln's administration, his
Attorney General, Edward Bates delivered
an opinion that negroes lOere citizens, That
opinion was accepted BY the Administrs-

murder, in his speech of April 18th, 1866
he reiterated the ides in the following
terms:

that it were now conferred on intelligent

One Of sherman,s Veternus,

a remarkable COW was presented, on the
18th instant, to the Soldiers Home, at
Washington, by General J. D. Morgan.
From a statement given by an officer to
the Washington Republican, we learn thst
the COW had belonged to the Generals
mess since Shermsn's army left Atlanta,
and went through sl Of General Shermsn's
marches from Atlantis to Savannah, from.
that place through the Csrolinas to Colds
boro, North Csrolins, and from there
through Raleigh, via Richmond to Wash
ington. During all of these marches she
gave a gallon of milk per day. From
November 18th, 1864, to May 10th, 1865
she travelled twelve hundred and twenty
miles. From MorgsnsviIle, North Caro-,
lima, TO Richmond Virginia, a distance of
III miles, she marched in seven days; and
from Richmond TO Washington, l49 miles,
in eight days. She is now in excellent
condition, and gives one and a quarter gall
Ions of rich milk per day.
It is, perhaps, needless to add, that this
veteran bovine "bummer" and her tactical
products will be well cared for and highly
appreciated at the Soldiers Home.

From ReU. Fred S Jst0eH, Professor Of the

Dr. LIGHTHIL-DeGr Sir: Under date
of March Ii, L sent you careful statement
of my case, my former treatment, my fail
ure 10 obtain relief In that direction, my
resort to your treatment and its beneficial
results.
1 have been, from the winter ofthe year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of catarrh, marked by febrile syptoms, VIC
lent Inflammation Of the lining n embranes
of the cavities of the head, accompanied
the first stages by a watery discharge from
the nose, subsequently becoming acrid and
yellow and towards the close of the attack
purient and bloody. These attacks pro-
duced a most distressing species of head
ache, occurring periodically each day for q
period varying from one to three weeks,
sometimes so violent as TO incspsciate me
for business, and eonfine me to my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend to the teeth, produce t~oothache, or
10 the throat occasioning hosrseness and
partial loss of voice; and twice within the
last few years it has go affected the right
eye as TO confne me for weeks to dark
ened room.
had tried medicines and applications
Of various kinds; snuffs and other eatarrh-
81 preparations Of some half q dozen kinds
applications to the head of camphor,
ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds and in connection with these the
usual emetics and cathsrtics employed to
induce counter action. But none of these
had produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense of 80 much strength as to lesve
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstaDces I was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed i~ncursbility
Of the disease, TO make q trial of your
treatment. l found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease as 1t had
never been reached before, and slleViating
its symptoms to an extent which 1 had
supposed impossible. At the time when 1
gave you my former certificate, while l
did not feel assured of a complete cure, 1
had obtained q material relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of your treatment,
and which satisfied me that that treatment
was as effective as it WAS simple and philo- |
sophical. A substantial escape from my
old attacks Of catarrh, for the almost IN
precedented period of nearly half a year,
and that in spite Of severe attacks Of ILL.,
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was, to me,
proof Of an important success. Il Is now
six months since I sent you that statement
and while it is unpleasant for me TO appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public it seems to me q matter of sim
pie justice to yourself and TO those whe
may be suffering as 1 wss, to add that 1
am not only as fully satisfied IS TO the util-
and efficacy of your treatment of ca

now of the belief that if there is such q

General Butler and ChampIain Hud-

The Rev. II. N. Hudson, formerly chap.
lain Of a New York regiment has publish
ed a letter TO Major General Butler, in
which he recites atlength the ill-treatment
received at the hands of the General. This
letter, which makes quite a pamphlet, is
an exceedingly rscy production, and rs an
exposure of arbitrary acts is q valuable
contribution to current literature. MI.
Hudson's offence wss the writing of 8 pri-
vRte letter 10 the editor of q city paper,
which letter was published. This letter
described Buffers defeat at Proctor's Greek
near Drury's Bluff, and was not de-
signed ior publication. Not long after,
Geneal Butler had the Chaplain arrested
and proceeded TO put him through q course
Of prison practice. The narrative is plain
and straightforward, and bears every
mark of q careful attention TO the facts of
the history. Mr.. Hudson was kept in a
wretehed prison for a long time, unable to
learn the nature of the offence with which
he was charged, and vsinly ~endesVoring
to secure a trial. His story is one of sim
pie persecution, and shows very clearly the
dangers that result from the possession of
irresponsible power. It sheds light also
upon the career of the Lowell General, a
career which Mr.. Hudson says, 6 has noto-
riously been replete with like instances Of
arbitrary and unlawful punishment" The
pamphlet deserves q wide circulation, and
no one who undertakes TO read it will be
likely to lay it down until the story OF the
Chsplsin's wrongs and sutferings is thor
oughly read.

Let the Freedmen be KeaTIy Free.


Ret the Freedmen he ReaIIy Free.
The overthrow of the rebellion and the
consequent enforcement everywhere Of
President Lincoln's proclamation abolish
ing slavery 60 entirely changed the rela-
tons of the former slaves, that an entire
revision Of the slave code and free negro
Laws, in sl the Southern States, is essen
tial to preserve substantial freedom to
them. The legislation in the Southern
states has been systematically hostile to
the negroes, slave or free. All this must
be remedied. For instance, the admission
of negro testimony in courts of justice is
vital to the happiness and comfort of the
negro race. By this means alone, In most
cases, will the freedmen be able to sub
staptiste contracts made with their en-
ployers, and gain compensation that may
be withheld for their labor. To shut the
free negro out of the courts is TO make him
the victim of every rascal, and the sport of
every dilatory debtor. The laws prohibit
ing the negro to be instructed must be
repealed, and the way must be opened to
him to gain such knowledge as he may de-
sire 10 have. There must be no restriction
upon his liberty and rights not imposed on
other men. For, before the law, he Is as
free as the white man, and the solemn
pledge Of Abraham Lincoln is given that
athe Executive Government of the United
States will recognize and maintain the
freedom" of the slaves emancipated by the
proclamation.
This declaration of President Lincoln's
President johnson stands ready to enforce.
He has declared over and over sgsin
that he stands by the proclamation
and that slavery must be done away with.
We look with confidence TO see him take
efficient steps to abolish these bar
harnua relies Of slavery.

THO Henfuchy TIecUfon,

The Kentucky election, for State officers
legislature and members of Congress,
which takes place on the frst Monday in
August next is probably The most impOr-
tant ever held in the State. The great
question in issue is the Congressional
amendment abolishing slavery in the
United States. The canvass, especially for
The legislature, viii be fought on this issue
and the probability is thst the friends Of
measure will sweep the State. In the Con-
gressiOnsi election the great struggle viii
be in the Louisville district which is
strongly Democratic and gave g large ma
iority for Mcclellan at tae last Presidential
election. The Union candidate is Major
General Lowell H. Rousseau, the hero Of
many q battlefield, and he enters the cam
paign with 8 prestige that almost ensures
his success. Since the campaign of last
November, many of the supporters of Nc
Olellan in Kentucky have gone over 70 the
Union party, aud are using their influence
70 secure the passage of the amendment
In the Second District Hon. George h
Yeaman, the present representative, is q
candidate for reelection. He supported
Mcclellan, but Is now thoroughly Union
in his sentiments. In the Sixth or Gov
ington District Green Clsy Smith Will GER
tsinly be elected. General Speed S. Fry,
who distinguished himself at Mill Spring,
is the Union competitor of Hon. George s.
Shanklin, in the Seventh Oh Lexington
District. The other Union candidates are
O. D. Bradley, in the First Hon J. h
Lowrie in the Third; Marion g. Taylor in
the Fourth; William Il. Randall in the
Eighth, and Samuel Mckee in the Ninth.
Hon. 3. Order is the democratic candidate
in the Third District in opposition to MI.
LoWrie. The candidates of the Union
party sre all men of ability, and known to
be gentleman of loyalty. The coming
election will decide the status of Kentucky
in the Unioy, and we have no doubt that 1t
will take q firm stand for the right.

loss Of this important sense is certainly a
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,

have experienced it. If therefore, there
be a remedy Tor this great evil, the cause
of humanity obviously requires hat it
should be universally disseminated. l feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony to the
happy effects of your treatment and RENE

has been badly diseased. The night ear,

her in your care. Your treatment, under

for treatment from parties unable to visit
New York for that purpose, and who can
not be successfully treated except after a

been so successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his service, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in competence with the re-
quest Of many citizens, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters so that all who
desire can consult him.
