The COmOPessiOaJ TVrGntS
at TTOvR.

A bill which proposes the
undoing Of reconstruction in
Georgia has passed DO h branch
es of Congress, and will become
a tyrannical law when signed
by the President. The objects
to be gained by this action
were the ratification Of the tif-
teenth Amendment, andthe adj
dition of two Radical Senators.
The outrage to be consummat-
cdby tlis bill was earnestly and
ably set forth by Senators
Salisbury, Stockton, CaSseIly,
Norton, Davis, and Judge
Thurman. Tie latter presented.
the case in a very striking
light. He said that the dnress
Of Georgia. in order to secure
the ratification Of the fifteenth
amendment, involved the du.
ress of his own State, which was
opposed to the amendment.
The speeches made by the
Democratic Senators were AZ
gumentative, clear, rorcible and
convincing to any but men who
were determined to do wrong
in order to secure party sue
cess.
The Radical Senators have
at that stage Of rcck-
lessness where vice ceases to-
pay homage to virtue by anact-
ing the hypocrite; they wore
no mask and did not conde-
scend even-for appearance sake
to argue the case upon the
right, justice or their constitu-
tional powers to thus wipe a
State of the Union out of ex-
iStance, They argued almost
entirely on the benefit that
would accrue to their party
from the passage Of this bill.
Senator Carpenter admitted
that with him the question was
simply one of expediency. Sen,
otor Drake was for furnishing
the people Of Georgia, for dis.
loyalty to the Radical party.
The debate on this subject
has clearly demonstrated what
may be expected from the un-
majority in the Sen
ate. AS they allow nothing to
stand in the way Of their am
bilious designs, we are not sur
prised at this or any outrage
they may commit against the
laws Of honor, justice, right or
the Constitution Of our coun.
Lry.

Edwin NJ. Stanton died in

admitted to practice in the Su,
preme Court Of Ohio in 1886.
In February, 1851, upon the
resignation Of General Lewis
Cass as Secretary of State un-
der the administration of James
Buchanan, President Of the
United States, Mr.. Stanton was
appointed as Attorney Gener-
al. On the 4th Of March, 1861,
upon the Inauguration Of Pres.
ident Lincoln, Judge Stanton
left the Cabinet and shortly af-
ter took up his residence in Mt.
Vernon, Ohio, where ever since
he and his family have resided,
except latterly when he remov.
ed, TO Washington. In 1S62,upon
the removal Eof Simon Cam
eson, Judge Stanton was ap-
pointed Secretary of War,
which position he held actual.
ly, until the memorable fierce
contest between President
Johnson and Congress culmina-
ted early'ain athe year 1868,
when President johnson sum-
marily dismissed him, after hav.
ing asked him to resign. He
was then followed as ad interim
by General Grant, (now Prcsi-
dent) and he, in turn, by Gen
eral Thomas. From this re-
moval originated-or rather
this dispute germinated the
movement to impeach Presi-
dent johnson, with the result
that is yet quite recent in his
tory. Judge Stanton, though
really by the action Of the Sen
ate on the impeachment ques-
ton, was non oflicio, resigned
and retited to his home in Mt.

Five thousand more troops

EXTRACT OF BUTTER.PLANT

a brief allusion to the origin OF this import
ant discovery may not prove undressing.
Among the authenticated records of the re-
world, is found the statement, that while So
~iourning for a short time on the Brazilian
Coast Of South America, he observed the ma
tives using, in the preparation OF their food,
q peculiar oil, which, upon examination, he
found to possess the appearance, taste and
favor OF Butteri upon further inquiry, how
ever, he ascertained that it was simply sub
stance that the natives distilled in q crude
and imperfect manner from a rich and luxu-
rfant plant that grew spontaneously and
s~bundantly In that warm tropical country.
4 few years ago an eminent French chemist,
while on a professional visit to the tropics,
made numerous experiments with this re-
markable production of nature, and succeed
ed in extracting a concentrated essence OF h
plant. The formula for its preparation, n
the Sole Right for the sale In this country are
the exclusive property of this mpa by
whom IT was purchased from the original dis
eoyerer, We claim for this remarkable, yet
simple and perfectly harmless preparation

ever cause, may be strong, rancid, streaked or

Sd. By the use of this Extract, one pound OF

from any deleterious substance, the ingredl-
ents being purely of n vegetable nature.
