THE POLICY OF HUMANITY.

General FRANK p. BLAIR, of Missouri
one of the few Republican politicians who
distinguished himself by personal gallantry
in the war, has lately written letter to a
meeting in st. Louis, in which he gives
utterance to the following magnanimous and
generous sentiments. He says in speaking
of the Radicals:
Such persons are most persistent in urg-
ing measures of unnecessary harshness and
indiguity, in order to irritate and goad our
vanquished opponents into acts of resistance
which will justify the infiction of still
greater cruelty. If those brave and unfor-
tunate people could only be driven by their
insults and contumely TO such acts, it would
fill the soul of their malignant prosecutors
with unspeakable JOY and satisfaction, be-
cause it would afford the pretext they seek,
to deny to the Southern people the rights
Of freemen and free States. These Jacobins
feel and know that it is necessary to dis
franchise the white, race in the South as
aiording them their only chance of retain
ing power and position.
What civilized nation on earth would hes
itate an instant, if the opportunity offered,
TO incorporate with themselves the brave
and heroic people Of the South, whose for
titude and endurance, in mistaken cause,
challenge the admiration and respect Of the
world? Would France or England, or any
other civilized power, hesitate to give such
men the full and equal rights accorded 20
all other citizens? Would not those nations
be most happy to claim, as their own, such
men as Lee and Johnston, and host of 9TH
ers, and 10 confer upon these living heroes
the rewards which genius and courage al
ways commanded? Would they fail to honor
and cherish, as part of their own glory,
the memory Of that illustrious throng of the
dead, led by Stonewall Jackson? Their
fame belong TO our name and nation, and
their survivors, animated by an equal cour-
age and devotion, and inspired by what we
hope and believe is better cause, will here
after contribute equally with the noble spir-
its Of the North, 10 the renown Of our great
Republic.
Fellow-citizens, those who wish well to
the country, and would secure its greatest
happiness, can have no higher aspiration
than that the peace you celebrate may be
perpetual. With respect yours,
FRANK Z. BLAIR.

DISEASE AMONG HOGS.

Mr.. Joseph Bridge, who manages the
Beaubien Farm, near Detroit, writes to the
Tribune Of that city:
Some time ago informed you of dis
disease came was 81; Of these 50 were
attacked and so died. The first symptoms
were great thirst dullness, groaning, etc;
then followed hardness of the belly, heat OF
the skin, difficulty of respiration, heaving of
the hanks and short cough, and the eyes full
of tears. All these symptoms cane on in
the course Of twelve hours. If the disease
continued the succeeding symptoms were
still more alarming; the animals began 10
stagger about, the limbs were stretched out
in an unnatural position, rattling in the
throat, grating of theteeth, supporting them
selves against the wall only 10 fall and die
in few minutes after. Death generally
came on about-the third day. The cause is
irregular and over feeding, feeding on ami
mai food and short Ct clear, fresh water to
drink.
know Of no remedy after pig is taken
with this disease. l have tried exercise By
taking them into the woods. l have tried
hot baths copious bleeding from the ears
and tail, and have given them acidulated
nitrated water, camphor, charcoal, salt, &c,
but all these seem 10 have been of no good
The best remedy l can find is this; After
they are taken sick put them in warm
place, with dry boards aud plenty Of dry hay
Give them all the warm water they can
drink. The disease has been worse in cold
weather than in warm. The preventives are
troughs of clean water placed in the styes,
non-exposure TO wa and cold weather clean
liness and ventilation, a supply Of rotten
wood and charcoal, regular and moderate
feeding on roots, corn or anything that
farm will produce, but not on animal food,
as Il keeps the animal in state Of feverish
excitement, and leads to infamitory dis
eases. do not consider that garbage from
hotels As hurtful if the cooked meat is kept
out. IL is a better way for butchers. and
those that have been in the habit of feeding
on animal food, to do as have occasionally
done cart out the oflal on a piece Of land
and plow il under.

A DISHONEST ABOLITION GOV
ERNOR.
From the Chicago Times.

| From the Chicago Times
| The developments with reference to the
| gubernatorial Office of Iowa are rather start
| ling. One of the phases of these develop
ments is thus noticed by newspaper ex-
| change:
| at seems that Governor Stone has not
visited the capital above dozen times dur
| ing his two years term, having transacted
the duties of his office by proxy of this same
| private secretary, who was authorized to
| sign the Governors name. Orwig was before
| the investigating committee, and testified
| that he had signed and ISSUED proclama-
| tions appointing days for thanksgiving and
| elections, general and special; that he signed
pardons, reprieves and discharges from the
penitentiary, and exercised the pardoning
| power where he "'thought justice demanded
it :" that he signed the certificates of Iowa's
| six Congressman, upon which they now hold
| their seats in Congress; that he signed death
warrants that sent criminals to the gallows;
thathe appointed public officers ndapproved
| their bonds, and finally, to make a long
matter short, that he had probably signed
! the name of the Governor to SO out of every
100 official papers that have needed Gov.
Stones signature"
The mere fact of the Governors func-
tiOns being exercised by dishonest under
strapper is not all that belonged to this
transaction. There was a large deficit, to
the extent Of some $4,000; and this, too,
has been charged over to the credit of Or
wig. In addition to thus hanging men, and
and playing Governor, and indorsing Con-
gressmen, and stealing by proxy, the virtu-
Gus abolition Chief Executive department of
Iowa has been the theatre of some other
quite as singular developments. Thus
there was very large fund placed at the
disposal of the Governor for sanitary and
other kindred purposes.
We know that fanaticism, and unreason-
ableness and Jesuitical disregard of means
in the pursuit of ends are all characteristic
of Abolitionism but it has not been univer-
sally believed that dishonesty is necessarily
one of its qualities. Such, however, seems
more than probable. There never, in the
history of this or any other people, has been
so much stealing, and peculation, and down
right swindling, and outrageous frauds, as
among us since the present party came into
power. The war cost thrice as much as it
would have done had it been honestly man
aged. What has been deliberately stolen
from the people by Abolition officials
amounts to at least one half of what has
been expended already, and one third of
what will have to be paid in the future.
There never was another period in the
worlds history in which the people were as
lavish in their contributions, and their Off
cials as corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS. In our
own city almost millions have been contri-
buted for ostensible charities, of which not

chose to MAKE it a question of nationality
and tried to drown by excessive applause
the disapprobation, which led to words a
general fight in front of the theatre, and
some five or six duels. On Wednesday il
was rumored that, in vengeance, the Span
iards were going to hiss Madame Simmons
Muzio as she is an American; but the Gu
bans rallied in large numbers and applauded
from the beginning to the end of the per-
Torrance, eilectually preventing any show of
disapprobation. On Thursday there was a
charity performance in favor of the widow
and family of Zambrana, and a Cuban poet,
Alfredo TOwoella, composed an ode for the
occasion, which he recited. The Spaniards
decided to hiss, and the Cubans determined
10 make their applause a perfect ovation,
and entirely succeeded. The government
evidently expected a row, for the police
force was strengthened and some were even
dressed in citizens clothes but the disguise
was so ridiculously obvious that they were
recognized Immediately.

RECKLESS LEGISLATION
From Inc raytteriIIe olserrer.l

| From the Fayetteville 0bseryer.l
There is no State in the Union Missouri,
perhvps, excepted-like Tennessee for reek-
less legislationl In Nashville it assumes the
appearance of a pestilence. Our rulers seem
to think that legislation is an amusement-a
game--something to while away the tedious
hours Of a session.
1t was not so a few years ago; but then
there were men Of great capacity in the cap
| itol in the Executive councils. At the pre-
sent time, il is a very difficult matter TO OBJ
tain Senator or Representative above the
capacity of saloon lounger, or briefess
pettifogger, or a sleepy believer in and
dreamer over truisms and it would seem as
if with the adoption Of the Constitution of
| 1865 Radicalism not only ruled the sections
of that instrument, but infused itself into the
minds and manners of those who We're to fill
Office under it.
Contrast the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of to-day with those of the years
when men like Robert Hatton, A. o. P.
Nicholson, VIM. Vance Thompson, Daniel
S. Donelson, John NJ. Bright, Frank C.
Dunnington, Henry Cooper, John w. Rich
ardson, 10. C. Guild, Thomas Menees, ETC.,
etc, occupied seats in the chambers and in
the committee rooms, and spoke with force
and eloquence to crowded galleries and
through the press to each of the nearly one
hundred counties We had then partisan
legislation without doubt-and sometimes
selfish legislation; but there was none of that
reckless legislation which now seems to reign
supreme in the capitol, particularly in the
House of Representatives. By the word
reckless" we intend to express a malicious
always selfsh-preparation of bills and
reports and measures for enactment, and a
union on party lines, or in the spirit of
clique, to rush them through without time
for inquiry; opportunity for debate, or hear
ing of remonStrance. Statutes thus receive
character of mass meeting resolutions; and it
is an undisguised fact that caucuses are as
common nowadays over State laws as over
party appointments.
The details of these measures may be
discussed in political privacy, and the dove
failing made to suit peculiar partisan opin-
ions; but when thus perfected out of the
hall, they are crammed down the throats of
the minority scarcely with debate, and with |
sneering at protests.
The franchise bill-the great feature of |
the sessions an instance of this evil. For |
a time the majority sat and listened to the |
minority without designing to answer or |
enter into discussion; but it was the courtesy |
of the Havana court, who will say to an
unhappy Pinto-"Say what you please in
your defense, but you shall be gGIrOted af-

would show this same spirit of rash, vim

than by the word RECKLESS" but instances
need not be accumulated. Our readers and

The Confederate Dead.

In most Of the Southern cities where any
considerable numbers Of Confederate soldiers
were buried, the ladies occupied the 2Gth
April in visiting and strewing flowers upon
the graves Of the fallen. This day was
selected, as the anniversary of Gen. John
ston's surrender-and is intended to be
hereafter observed in the same manner
We have been greatly interested in the ac-
counts Of the ceremonies given by the news
papers Ofthese cities, that have reached US.
We have been gratifed, also, in the fact
that they were free from political express
sions, and we're characterized by that sin
cerity and affection which the women Of the
South displayed towards their defenders in
the course Of the war. The ceremonies were
simple and devotional, conducted by prayer
and singing, and brief speeches of good taste
generally, and no bitterness. 1t was sim
pie and affecting tribute to the memory Of
men whose spirits were quenched in the
carnival of blood, whose deeds in life are
still cherished and admired by mothers and
sisters. A great many thousands of the
noble ladies Of the South were thus engaged
on last Thursday.
The details Of each would oyerburden our
columns, and we give a few brief extracts
as cxenlplifying all:

In Macon there are two cemeteries, where

weeds made il necessary for grateful hands

city met at each cemetery, and, with their
own hands, welded the implements which
moulded those mounds, replaced the falling
boards that designated the sleeper beneath,
and removed the iniruding weeds. Very
many Of the fair ladies of our city were pres

they strewed in proiusion oven each grave,

restoration, In respect to the loving ones
at a distance, who may one day come to re-
claim their dead.
The hands which remoulded the graves,
