The Ramie Plant.

The Ramie plant, which was introduced
into this country from Java, to the soil of
which it is Indigenous, is attracting much
attention in the South. At an agricultural
fair recently held in Alabama it was one o f
the special features of the exhibition. 1t is
claimed that, If properly cultivated an
worked, it will eventually take the place o
cotton, and supply any deficiency in tha t
great staple production. Its tibres are said
to be much finer and stronger than the
best fax that they are as fine as Sea
Island cotton and that, after cleaning,
they become very soft and white, aud take
colors as readily as the finest wool or silk.
Several articles of clothing made from this
fabric were eqhibited at the fair referred
to, and were particularly noted for the
strength and beauty of the material The
cultivation of the Ramie plant has been
successful on a number of plantations in

Tribute to NIr Chase

1t is but simple justice to acknowledge
and we could wish to see the acknowledge
ment made in some more suitable way
that the failure of the impeachment is
mainly due to the tirmness, uprightness,
and independence of Chief Justice Chase.
1t is true enough that he has done nothing
but his duty but he did it with such
steadiness, moral interpldity, and exact
observance of decorum, as to strengthen
and encourage those Senators who found
that they would be compelled to sacrifice
party favor if they followed their sense of
justice. II he had truckled to the insolence
Of faction, or bent before the storm of
party passion, President johnson could not
have been acquitted. Mr.. Chases great
Office, irreproacbachable character, and
eminent abilities, confirmed the confidence
of the acquitting Senators in the soundness
of their own judgment, and the safety of
following it, in spite OF injurious asper-
sions.-New York World.

mr. Brooks on the Rights of the Press.

EAr. BfCOKS on ahe tt1Shts oA the GTeoS.
In his speech Of Monday on Beast But
ler's Infamous proceedings, Mr.. Brooks
said {:
"He claimed that journalism was as re-
spectacle as any other profession but
journalists would have no right to assocl-
ate with gentlemen if, in every political
excitement here they could be compelled
to disclose every private conversation held
in the social circle with public men. When
they thus obtained information in the line
of their profession, exclusively pertaining
to their business pursuits, journalism be-
came as much privileged profession as
the consultation of client and his lawyer,
Or confession to the priesthood and In
behalf of bis profession he would say it
was the duty of journalist, despite OF all
threats of Imprisonment, or even of death,
to decline to impart such privileged COM
munications, except at the command
of the highest courts of law, and
then only as to particular or spe-
cited facts. He declared and pro-
claimed that the seizure Of kilograms was
an outrage on private rights and liberty
The like was never known in any country
whatever in time of peace, and wCald never
be submitted to IN Europe, if attempted IN
the form it has been here. The only Won
der was that, considering the freedom OF
using the telegraph in matters relating tc
commerce, business affairs, and the most
sacred domestic relations, the Managers
had not discovered more curious kilograms
He believed that they had suppressed hun
dreds of other kilograms, while those be
fore the House were perverted or misrepre
sented. ..
The surrender of those kilograms by the
managers of the telegraph Offices was most
| disgraceful and cowardly, and ought tc
condemn them in the eyes Of the world.

MIR. Carey's Resolution.

The Chicago Convention having resolved
that the public debt must be paid accord
ing to the letter and spirit Of the contract,
that itmeant payment in gold, Mr.. Carey
offered the following to settle the question
SC Resolved That neither the letter nor the
spirit Of the law under which the five-twenties
were issued requires the payment of the principal
in coin, and it will be in the utmost good faith il
which has been paid to the soldiers who fought
the battles Of the war; and with which the Gov
ernment settles the claims of the widows and or
phans of our fallen heroes-the same as laborere
are required to receive as wages, and that which
is legal tender for all pubic and private debts,
except customs duties, and interest on the public
debt
But the hypocrites refused to vote upon
it, and referred it to a committee

The State of Oregon on next Monday
holds an election for the purpose of elect
ing Congressman and me- mber of tho Le-
gislature. Six years ago the Republican
majority was over six thousand. Al the
last Presidential election that majority was
reduced to some fourteen hundred. The
elections in Oregon occnr biennially. Two
years since the Republican candidate for
Governor was elected by two hundred ma
iority and the present member of Congress
by a majority somewhat larger. So the
first gun after the Chicago nominations and
the Impeachment blunder will be heard
from Oregon.

The Yesrn1ns of the People.

One of the Democratic Congressman
from an assured Democratic State of the
East has just returned from short visit to
his constituency. He says that SO great is
the longing of the Democratic and Conser-
vative masses for the overthrow of the
Congressional Jacobins, that very many
express willingness to support Chief JUS
tice Chase for the Presidency, if the use of
his name will best assure the result. Oh
course, the suggestion is subject to the
event that Conservative Republicans shall
bring him into the field with proper
promptness and efficiency. Time flies,

Military Aid Invoked in Louisiana by
Grand Jury,

New ORLEANS, May 26.-The grand jury
waited upon General Buchanan in a body
yesterday, accompanied by the attorney
general and district attorney, and made
complaint that the chief of police avowed
himself in possession of knowledge of the
Whereabouts, within the State, of a noted
burglar named Watson, who he agreed to
arrest if compensated, refusing to give the
necessary information to the sheriff to en-
able him to make the arrest. Watson has
forfeited his bond. The charge is suppor-
ted by affidavits of the sheriff and his de-
puties The grand jury state the offence
is not covered by any law of the State, and
ask the action of the commanding general,
who replied he would investigate and take
the necessary steps in the matter.

A Letter from General Forrest.

General Forrest has recently written a
letter to the Memphis Avalanche in regard
to a movement to exclude Confederate sol
diers from active participation in the
Democratic organizations of Tennessee on
the ground of expediency. He concludes
forcibly as follows:
The only hope of a restoration of good
government in this country is in the sue
cess of the National Democracy in the next
Presidential campaign. I trust my late
comrades will not, from expediency or
other motives, absent themselves from a
participation in the political exercises
which are to result in the choice of stand
ard-bearers, made with view to so pat
riotic and desirable an end. So far as l
am personally concerned, have 10 desire
to take any part in politics, nor to occupy
any political position whatever but do
not wish to see my State represented by
men whose only claim to public favor is
the dexterity with which they took either
side of the question in the late war, as in
terest dictated, and who bank upon it as
their only capital for popular support.

The astonishing success of the Hungarian

ing for treatment the worst possible cases
that can be found in the community-cases
that seek relief in vain from any Of the COM

given up by the most distinguished physi-
clans as confirmed and incurable. The
Hungarian Balsam has cured, and will cure,
the most desperate of cases. 1t is no quack
nostrum, but a standard medicine, of known
and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should
be supplied with the Hungarian Basam of
Life, not only to counterfeit the cOnsumptive
tendencies of the climate, but to be used as
a preventive medicine in all cases of Colds,
Coughs, Splitting Of Blood, Pain in the side
and Chest, Irritation and Soreness of the
Lungs, Bronchitis, Difficulty of Breathing,
Hectic Fever, Night Sweats, Emaciation,
General Debility, Asthma, Influenza, WhOop-

disease of the Lungs, or seated Consumption,
it is the only source Of hope. The
