of Grant and his administration
The Sun says: ~ "

OF Grant and his ADMINISTRATOR.
The Sun says: ~
"Some of the old leaders begin to sus-
pect him Grant of lack Of fidelity to its
principles, its measures and even to the
organization itself; and they are not slow
in asserting that al he cares for is to
amuse himself during his four years
occupancy Of the White House providing
for himself, his relatives, retainers and
benefactors,7 AKA
The Sun evidently shares these
suspicious" as, further on, it
dwells on the lack of Grants
"statesmanlike qualities" and his
willingness to be the instrument
of charlatans and adventurous"
Poor Grant is catching it on all
sides. The Conservative Republi-
cans and the Radicals charge him
with strangling his own party.

4 Good Platform,

If there has been paper in the United
States, for four years past, more thoroughly
Radical than the Raleigh Standard we have
not been acquainted with it. Its "loyalty"
was never doubted, we suppose, by any man
calling himself Republican, and if any of
that persuasion desired to go further than
the Standard in the line of Republicanism
lie would have failed in any attempt to do
Sc.
Now here is the platform presented in the
last No. Of that paper:
"We are opposed to the test-oath and to
all DISTINGUISHING laws.
''The war is past.
eff the Government had wished to pun
ish those who rebelled against it it should
have done so Immediately that the rebellion
was subdued.
at should have punished the leaders,
the men who inaugurated the rebellion.
''This the Government did not do.
at punished no one for the crime of trea-
son.
''Four years have elapsed since the close
of the war. The majority of the States lately
in rebellion have been readmitted to the
Union. Their citizens have the same rights
as the citizens of other State.
cit is now too late to inaugurate punish
ments for crimes committed so long ago.
''That there should be no test oaths, no
acknowledgements; for the Government, by
its own action, has virtually declared that
treason shall not be punished"
That's good enough for us and as it is
good enough for Governor Holden, in the
name Of all that is just and wise who can OBJ
ject to it? That platform generally adopted,
by people and Government, will Immediate
ly restore harmony and peace to this coun-
try We believe it is adopted by Thresholds
of the people. The party that opposes it

Mississippi has her troubles as we'll as poor
Virginia Gen. Ames seems to be as Wig
orous in his military sway as was ever Gen.
Terry or Gen. Candy bese, Gen. Ames
has Just issued to his subordinate officers
the following order:
1.-The commanding general directs that
you do not obey in future any writ of habeos
corpus issued by the United States District
Court or Circuit Courts, or any order made
by such courts for the release of prisoners in
your custody. Should such writ or order
be served upon you, report the fact by tele-
graph
The military is to be the supreme aathori-
ty in Mississippi, in reality. The writs Of
of the courts arc to be null and void, unless
it suits the whims or purposes of Gen. Ames.
Innocent citizens may be seized and incar-
eated, ard, ifit suits his purposes, the
AaJcas corpus shall be of no effect to restore
10 them their liberty
Upon himsy pretexts innocent men will be,
as they have been elsewhere, arrested and
imprisoned, and Gen. Ames can make Mis-
sissippi prisons as terrible to the incarcerated
as ever were the military prisons of the North
West to poor confederatcs Will he do it ?
We. with regret. are compelled to conclude
that the issuing of this order has that APP
pearance.
Oh for the day when the oppressed
South will be relieved of the absolute one
man power. especially that one man power
being the military.

mer Dr. Snow, of Providence, Rhode

declares that fruit and vegetables have al
most no influence whatever in the mortality
reported from summer complaints that near
ly all the deaths occur among very young
children, who do not eat fruits and Fegeta-

four months past have been suffering from what
my doctor said was nervous prostration, being
unable to endure hardly any physical or mental
labor without great fatigue. But had not used
the Bitters week before I was conscious of their
benefting me as nothing else had, and have
continued to gain very rapidly since, till now I
am able to be about my usual household duties.
To all who are afflicted with general debility I
can testify from experience that the Btters arein-
valuable. Yours, truly,
