Democratic majority over the Ra'
Gals in seventeen States...............

Gals in seventeen States...--....-....-.. Il ,ooZ
Local elections were held in Indiana,
Illinois, Delaware, Missouri, Nevada,
Kansas, Nebraska and Oregon, and the
result in them proves that if there had
been general election the Democratic
majority in the loyal States would
have been increased.
The people are thus against the Radi-
Gals in Congress Now, how stands their
pretended Representatives In both
branches of Congress there are GO DEM
oerats and 1856 Republicans. In other
words, by defective and fraudulent ap-
portionment, $4,000 Democrats have
but one>third as many members of Cons
gress as l,5j4,00 Republicans. To this
shameful misrepresentation of the people
Of the United States we owe all our
present calamities.
When the President asserts the con-
stitutional authority of his Office against
the acts Of Congress, or the permanent
jurisdiction Of the Supreme Court threat~
ems to intervene, a great hue and cry is
raised that the voice of the people ex-
pressed through Congress is being over
thrown. The truth of the matter is that
the Radical majority in Congress is moth
ing but the elected caucus of a faction.
They do not represent the majority of the
people Of the Northern States Their
fagitious attempt to erect their edicts in
to law, and to oyerawe by the forms and
shows of authority, the other depart
ments of government, is game of bluff
at which they win be badly beaten,

MR BINGHAM in his speech on the SUI
preme Court bill said
"That court, he repeated, had disgraced
not only itself az a tribunal of justice, but
il had disgraced humanity, when it dared
TO mouth from its high seat Of justice the
horrible blasphemy that there were hui
man beings, either in this land or in any
land, whose rights white men were not
bound to respect"
To put the phrase into the mouth of
Roger b. Taney-that negroes had no
rights that white men were bond To re-
spect was a bald faced lie, while that pure
and eminent jurist was living. To re-
peat it when he is dead, and TO use it as
an argument to emasculate the Supreme
Judiciary of It's high and exalted func-
tons, makes it crime compared TO
which mere lying is white-robed inno-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The Secretary
of the Interior has sent to the Finance
Committee draft of a joint resolution,
he says differs in one particular from the
resolution of 1915. The latter directed
the detention by the Secretary of the Treas
nry of monies due to deiaulting State on
account Of the per eentum Of the proceeds
Of the sale Of public lands lying within
her Limits. This resolution makes it his
duty to withhold any monies due such
State from the United States on any account
whatever. The Interior Department is
depository of a large amount of State
bonds which the United States holds in
trust for certain Indian tribes, the annual
accruing interest Of which was for many
years unpaid by the respective States, but
was advanced by Congress from the Treas
ury.
General Banks bill in regard to the
rights of American citizens abroad, is un~
derstood to be in entire accordance with the
views of Department Of State.
The Senate to-day confirmed the nomi-
nation of Hezekiah Wells, Of Michigan,
Consul at Manchester, England
The President sent to the Senate the fol-
lowing nominations j. Ross Brown, Of
California, Minister to China William D.
Bishop, Of Connecticut Commissioner of
Patents to France II. Price, of New York,
Consul General to Havana; Robert D.
Mathews, ofIllinois, Consular at Valentia !;
Luther E. Webb, Superintendent of In
dian affairs for New Mexico.
The Committee on Freedmen's Affairs
instructed the chairman to report a bill
continuing the Freedmen's Bureau for one
year after the 1st of January next. The
bill authorizes the Secretary of War to dis
continue the operations of the bureau in
any State fully restored in constitutional
relations TO the government, and represent
ed in Congress, unless such continuance in
the State shall be necessary.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons decided to-day to recommend the

TnR Radicals defend the last PROPOSE
ton Of the Reconstruction Committee
curtailing the appellate Jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court on the clanse of the con-
stitution, Art III, sec. 2nd, which says
that
The Supreme Court shall have appellate
Jurisdiction, both az 10 law and fact, with
such exceptions and under such regulations
az Congress shall make.
To show that the constitution did not
contemplate the exception Of the most
important character Of cases that could
possibly be brought before the court, in
deed the very issues it was ordained to
try and decide, it is only necessary to
read Alexander HamiltOns paragraph on
this clause in the Slst No. of the FEEDER
o6st 1t is there positively stated that
this power Of regulating and excepting
was only given to Congress in order to
restrain the introduction Of eases in
which it would be improper for the court
TO review facts as we'll as the law 1t
was not intended to impair its power to
pronounce upon the constitutionality or
the principles of law applicable to any
case.

Our Population One Hundred
 Years Hence.

The most considerate and cautious estimate set down of the increase of population in the United States for several decades, is as follows: 1870, forty-two millions; 1880, fifty-five mill lions 1890, seventy-seven millions :; 1900, one hundred millions. It is not unreasonable to suppose that in hun dred years from this time we may have a hundred millions in the Mississippi, seventy on the Atlantic slope, and thirty on the Pacific. There are more
 owners of the soil in this country than any other. We have fifteen millions, whereas Great Britain has less than thirty thousand. According to Mir. John Bright, half the land in England is owned by fewer than one hundred and fifty persons, and halt. the land in Scotland by not more than ten or twelve. No wonder that emigrants come hither. For the last eighteen
 years the average immigration is lSl,- 269; that is to say, during all that pe-
 riod an emigrant has landed on our
 shores on an average of every minute of time, and oftener, counting the day
 twelve hours long. There are proba- bly, fifty tongues doing business in our metropolis; there are from thirty 10 fifty thousand Chinamen on our Pacific coast. The commercial convulsions and political commotions of Europe, and the fear of revolutions and con- scriptions, are quickening and spread ing from the European continent the westward wave of life.-Rural New Yorker. e. e+

Reception of the Nominations.

The Democratic press of the country has never greeted nomination with greater enthusiasm and unanimity than have been manifested over the nomination of Seymour and Blair. The joyous and jubliant feeling with which the Conven- ton completed its work has extended through. the Democratic masses, and inspired the press with the same satisfac- tion and confidence. We had intended to lay before our readers large collection of the hearty inducements and glowing tributes with which the ticket has been announced by our Democratic con temporaries in all parts of the country, but they have come upon us in such an ava lanche that it would be impossible for us to republish enough of them to give an adequate notion of the universal concord and animation with which the rallying cry has been sounded It is not ncces- sary, however, for us to do so. The cause is sufficient to arouse the people, and the ticket is not one which needs to be hoist ed into popularity by dint of repeated laudations. Its appearance in the field has been greeted everywhere with boom ing cannon and popular exclamation that attest the unauimity of the people. It is such ticket as will need no bolstering, but leaves the Democratic papers free to devote their whole space to the advocacy of our cause and to assaults upon the enemy.-E Louisville Courier.

Rebels in Conventions.

The Radical papers continue to rage about the presence of ex-rebels in the New York convention, and to argue from their presence that they made the platform. For that reason they call upon Union soldiers to oppose it. Now why don't they spit upon the Chicago platform, and call upon Union soldiers to oppose it for the same rea- son? Ex-Governor Brown, of Georgia, who seeded from the Union and seized the Government forts, &c., and who was so fond of seeding that,he tried to secede from the Confederacy, was a delegate to the Chicago convention. More of ''the red-handcd' besides him were employed in getting up the Chi cago platform and nominations. They did not belong to Che better class of rebels either, as those at New York did. They were generally of the outlawed, guerrilla stripe, such as were compelled to turn Radical to escape the gallows they had merited, and not snch as an honest Union soldier could take by the hand without contamination.
 The truth is, these Radical chaps are envious of the great and inspiring spectacle which was presented in New York by the cordial and patriotic union of soldiers from both sides. whose lofty characters have. lived in light, and whose names and virtues history will not let die. Radicals would have all such men forget the glories of a com mon ancestry, tear down the monu- ments of our revolutionary fathers, burn up the records of their fame, for get the common duty. they owe to a common government, and pouring the sweet milk of concord into hell" !" live only to practice the precepts of hate and thrive by the ruin of their country.-[L Louisville Courier.

 Dn. JoHN BULL--Dear Sir: I have recent ly given your "Worm Destroyer" several trials, and find il wonderfully eflicacious It has not failed in single instance to havet the wished-for effect. l am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. lam free to confess that know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects. On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you. If can get it upon easy terms, 1 shall use great deal of it. I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of great majority of the reguiar line of M. D. $, but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding Q remedy which we know to be effi- eient, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination. For my part, shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which l may be able to command--not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However. am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. am, sir, most respectfully,

Special Notice.

We wish to call the attention of our readers to the column advertisement headed "Purify Tour Blood" to all the articles mentioned in it. Allthoee afflicted by disease, .orwhp have friends suffering from sickness, should care fully read, and we know they will derive pro fit from it. It gives us much pleasure to be able in this manner to recommend to our peo- pie these remedies, as years of trial show they fully deserve. Dr. Thos- A. Hurley s Sarsaparilla the Great Blood Purifier, needs only to be fried to be fully appreciated. His Bitters, (Hurley's,) are the best and purest now offered for sale. For debility and loss of appetite no others ought to be used, Hurley 5 Ague Tonic is harmless in it's effect and never fails to cure if used by directions. Try 1t. Also his Worm Candy, (Hmleys,) cannot be equalled; any child will take if. So it is with Dr. seabrooks Soothing Syrup. the best and safest now offered, as no bad effects ever oc- cur from using it. Mothers try one bottle, and in future you will get no other. Also Dr. Seabrooks Elixir ef ,Pyrophosphate of iron and Calssaya; also Dr. Bettison's Eng. Horse Liniment, and James Ruddle X Cos Ext. Jam. Ginger. An the above remedies are uneqnalled; we cannot understand why their remedies might not as well hc taken in the special diseases for which they are recon mended. with as much confidence as the pre- scription of s regular physician
