Let Us Have the Resolution.

The Cincinnati Chronicle allowed a CORES
pondent to charge Judge THURMAN with
having made speech at a Democratic
meeting in Columbus, Ohio, in January,
1851, sin favor of resolution rendering to
the South the aid of stwo hundred thou
sand Democrats in the event of the United
States using coercion to sustain the integ-
rity OF the Union" - 1915 nBG II io
We denied that Judge THURMAN sup
ported any such resolution, for the reason
that none such was under considerations
Now the Chronicle wants to know whether
we .deny that Judge THURMAN advocated
the passage of resolution substantially of
the import stated by our correspondent
The charge was specific that Judge
THURMAN had advocated the tender of
t'two hundred thousand Democrats" in
the event OF the Federal Government un-
dertaking TO coerce the South to remain in
the Union. We demand the resolution
rendering such aid, and the speech of Judge
THURMAN urging the adoption of it. If
this can not be produced, let the LIE be
honorably retracted. oj fg =" -

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Swinging Round the Circle,


There are fifty ways Of slleviating the agonies
dyspepsia for the moment: but there is only one
way to CURE it. After swinging round the circle
of temporary palliatives the patient finds that the
disease. so far from being subdued, has actually
gathered strength. while he has been parleying
with its symptoms.
The only way to get rid of the demon is to endow
the stomach with sufficient strength TO cast It oat
and keep it out. Impart permanent energy to the
digestive organs with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, and the object is accomplished. This
powerful vegetable remedy is not mers stimulant
1t does not brace up the gastric machinery for an
hour or two, leaving it. when the temporary ex-
citement has passed of. in q worse state than be-
fore.-Such is the effect of the ordinary alcoholic
nostrums. They keep the stomach in q perpetual
see-saw between unnatural activity and utter re-
taxation. Not so the BITTERS. Medicatsd with
the finest tonic. Alternative and anti-bihous ex-
acts. they permanently reinforce and continuous
ly regulate the assimilating organs. Such is the
experience of tens of thousands. At this debili-
tating season of the year. when the solvent princi
pie of the gastric Juice is weakened by constan
drain of the animal fluids through the pores, HOSE
LETTERS B1TTERS is an article of prime neces-
| sity for the weak. To neglect the use of q tonic
and alteartve. SO wonderfully eficacious and en-
trely harmless is simply to forego the blessings Of
health and vigor. and voluntarily accept feebleness
and discomfort in their stead. 17s.

The Stampede from the RepubIi.

The stampede from the Republican party
is beginning in downright earnest. 1t is
just starting; but it will go with a rush af-
ter awhile. A few days ago the Democra-

Troy to elect twenty-eight delegates to
represent the Democracy of that county in
the Congressional Convention to be held on
the Both at Urbana. J.T. JANvIER, JOHN P.
WILLIAMSON and CHARLES MORRIS, Esqrs

the convention, espousing the cause of De-

No Republican county ticket would be
complete without the name of our old friend
w. w. Pollard for Surveyor ~ otrnal. l'
This is true. Mr.. POLLARD has run for
Surveyor so often that no negro suffrage
ticket is incomplete without him. Every
time he has run he has been badly beaten,
and now in butting his head against WIZ
Brown, the Democratic. nominee, one of
the best Surveyors in Ohio, the little that
is left of POLLARD will be used up. He will
then be past running. The Journal and its
party must then hunt up another victim.

day instead of Friday was that it was not
certain as to the position of business in the
House. p.
Mr.. Paine tDisun., Wis., inquired wheth-
er that was the same authority that he
had for his statement as to the President.
Mr.. Washburne-It was not, sir.
Mr.. Bingham, (Disun.. Ohio)-If we were
now to concur in the Senate resolution and
motion to reconsider were entered, would
not the matter remain in the control of the
House?
Mr.. Washburne-As a matter of course,
that would be the effect.
Mr.. Bingham-Then why cannot that be
done for the protection OF the country and
see whether the bills to be passed in the
meantime will be returned by the Presi-
dent, either with or without his approval?
Mr.. Washburne-I do not know to what
the gentleman refers, or what is intended
to be done here. We have done all the
business required to be done, or we can do
it before the adjournment. There may be
design to keep us here permanently.
There may be design to enter again on
the impeachment of the President, as has
been Swallowed forth by the distinguished
Representative from Massachusetts,, (Mr.
Butler). There may be design to change
all the issues before the country and to go
into another impeachment trial, and keep
us here during the whole summer. For

have read at the Clerks desk letter which
1 received this morning from the Adjutant-
General of Tennessee.
Mr.. Wood-I object.
Mr.. Stokes-I make the letter part OF
my speech. io
The Speaker sustained the point of order
on the ground that the Adjutant- General
of Tennessee could not determine as to
