The Washington Chronicle (Radical
organ) in announcing the adjournment
Of the Senate on the 22d, thus states
the situation:
when the Senate adjourned last
night, the impression seemed to be al
most universal that there would not
be quorum in either house on the 81
of July next. The feeling between
the Senators and the Executive was
comparatively cordial, and the inteili-
gence from the South, promising sub
mission to tile terms Reconstruction
so auspicious that very few doubted
that the measures of Congress had an
ticipated and forecIosed all chance of
difficulty and disseusion.

with the fact, As exhibited by the OIL
cial record, that. more than two thirds
of the pardoAs which have been issued
b. The President, in behalf of the
southern people, were granted on the
petitions Of prominent Radicals. This
is more favorable representation of
Radical magnanimity than we had sup
posed to be due.
Il IS known that some Of the most
influential journals of that school. in
cluding Greely's Tribune and Harper :
Weekly, have urged the release of Mr..
Davis who is suffering vicarious pun

atrocious calumny propagated 1--WE are

that he was connected with the assas-
sinauon conspiracy, upon the state

shame is that no attempt has been
made to do so
While on the subject of pardons, we
would commend to those in authority,
some passages from Macauley's His
tory of Eagland.
In 1890 the great and good King
William, proclaimed an Act Of Grace
with a general oblivion the
political offences of those who had
been the agents Of James. OF this
Act the historian writes
.'The nation owed it to William

Whereas, Major General John Pope has
been ASST gued to the command of the Third
District, of which Alabama forms a part, and
said Major General IN assuming command

and further ordered that tine civil officers
now in authority should not be disturbed in
the discharge of the duties pertaining to
their offices so long as they continue to so
administer the laws as to secure to each in
dlvidnal the rights of person and property,
therefore,
Resolved, Without expressing any ODin-
ion as to the legislation referred to in tine
foregoing preamble, we hereby manifest our
qualification at the spirit of moderation
which the Major General commanding the
Third District uTings TO the discharge of the
responsible duties and to the exercise Of the
great powers committed to him and that
we feel called upon to meet him in a like
spirit and hereby express to him our pur-
pose to throw no obstacle IN the path Of his
official duties, but that in all that tends to q
genuine desire for the restoration of the
Union under the Constitution, including
t-4 the states, We pIcdEe ourselves TO q most
earnest and cordial cooperation.
Resolved, That we recommend to all who
are qualified TO register and vote under the
provisions of the law, to do so as early as
convenient after the opportunity is offered
for that purpose, aud to scrupulously alb
stain from any act which might he construed
into a disposition to hinder or disturh AZ
other person the dtschaTgefof any duty or
the exercise OF any privilege conferred by
law
Resolved That we shall so demean our
selves as a people, that 1t shall not be our
fault if, pending the efforts at rcconstruc-
ton under existing laws, the civil officers of
the state are disturbed in the exercise of
their public functions.
Resolved, That we find nothing in the
changed political condition of the white and
black races ia the South that ought to dis
turb the harmonious relations between
them that we are ready to accord to the
latter every right and privilege to which
they are entitled under the laws Of the land
that we sincerely desire their prosperity and
their Improvement in all the moral and in
tellectUal qualities that are necessary to

we are their friends, both from gratitude tor

CONSUMPTION CURABLE BY DIR.
SCHENCK'S MEDICINES

TO CURE CONSU MPTION, the system
must be prepared So that the lungs viii heal.
To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an appetite crea-
ted for good, wholesome food, which, by these
medicines will be digested properly, and
good healthy blood made; thus building up
the constitution. S Gil ENCK'S MAN
DRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach of all
bilious or mucous accumulations and, by
using the Sea Weed Tonic in connection,
the appetite is restored
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is
nutricous as well as medicinal, and, by US
ing the three remedies, all impurities are
expelled from the system, and good, whole
some blood made, which will repel all dis
ease. If patients will take these medicines
according to directions, Consumption very
frequently in its last stage yields readily
to their action. Take the pills frequently,
to cleans the liver and stomach. 1t
does not follow that because the bowels are
not cosiive they are not required, for some.
times in diarrhGa they are necessary. The
stomach must be kept healthy. and an appe-
tte created to allow The Pumonic Syrup to
act on the respiratory organs properly and
allay any irritation. Then all that is re.
quired to perform a permanent cure is, to
prevent taking cold. Exercise about the
