The most disgraceful scene is daily pre-
scented in Washington that has ever been
witnessed at the national capital The
Governor of a State and a number of
members of the Legislature, mostly
negroes, pleading with Senators to strike
down or nullify provision of State
constitution and extend their term of
Office beyond the time prescribed in that
constitution. The Georgia bill is before
the Senate, and the opponents of the
Bingham amendment, which limits Gov.
Bullock and the Legislature to the time
for which they were elected, were on
Monday, counting as high as ten majority
against it, but, IN the meantime, no pains
are spared TO secure its defeat. kilograms,
letters, newspaper articles, and even the
influence of the Federal of1ice-holders in
Georgia, are being turned into the general
channel of opposition. Would such dis
graceful conduct, such an infamous resort
to influence the action of the Senate and
of Congress, be tolerated in any other gov
eminent in the civilized world than this
under Radical rule2

NEWSPAPER STATEMENTS

How the People Test Their Truth
This Is not an age when people believe on trust
whatsoever they see in the public Journals Fifty or
sixty years ago when the accuracy Of statement
that had appeared in one Of the gAzettes or "News
Letters. Of the day, was questioned, il was con-
sidered sufhcient answer to al cavil TO say, IN
must be 20, for read II in the newspaper" II Ia
not so now Newspaper assertions must be veri-
fed before they are taken for granted, and this
is especially the as regards statements setting
forth the remedial properties Of proprietary medi-
cines. For example: II was not until the tonic and
Alternative properties Of Hostettsrs Stomach Bit
ters had been deliberately and thoroughly tested
by thousands, and found to be In perfect sccord
with the printed claims put forth In It's behalf thst
IT was accepted by the public ct large Staadara
Remedy. But when rustitudes who had resorted
to it as safeguard against mala<ious Towers, cure
for indigestion and biliousness, means of
strengthening the frame, cheering the spirits and
imparting constitutional vigof, came forward ana
testified that its beneficial effects had exceeded
their most sznguine expectations, Of course the
world believed To resist such proofs was impos-
sible. Great care has been taken from the begin
ming not to oUerstats the merits Of the Bitters-
Exaggeration and b0mbast have been the death OF
many preparations that might Otherwise have sur
vived. They were weighed In the balance and
found wanting" Hostetter's Ittsers, on the con-
trarv, have never been announced In grandllo-
Quent language as 3 cure for every bodily III, but
simply Is pure, harmless vegetable specific pos
sessng remarkable inyigorating, regulating, anti

what the public know the medicine to be, and its

THE LEGAL TENDER QUESTION.

The New York Tribune hailed the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, affirming the unconsiitu-
tionAliiy of the legal tender act, as leading
almost directly to specie payments. Now
that the court has consented to the reopen
ing of that decision, the Tribune has no
word of condemnation of that act, but
simply ''regrets the unsettlement of case
that seemed safely and well settled. The
New York Dry Goods Reporter of the
I'd inst. says
SIN any case, the reversal of the de-
cision would be very disastrous to the
very persons more directly interested. If
the Supreme Court can be politically
rugged and gerrymandered in the interest
of any political or financial clique, the
process may be endlessly repeated. If it
stultifies itself by maintaining that Con
gress, after all, has authority to change
the validity of pre-existing contracts, and
decree the payment of debts m ar inferior
currency, the most serious consequences
may ensue. If Congress may take from
90 to 40 per cent. from the value of all
debts contracted before the goth of Feb
ruary, 1862, there is no reason why it
cannot take any amount it pleases from
all debts contracted after that period"
The New York World says: sit is idle
to argue this question any farther, on one
side or the other; idle to argue it in the
press, because the Supreme Court pays no
attention to newspaper arguments; idle to
argue it in that tribunal, because srgu-
ment is exhausted, and especially idle for
the conclusive reason that the Court has
been packed by the President and Senate
to reverse the late decision. The forms
of argument will be gone through with
for the sake of appearances, but the ques-
ton was really decided by our ignOramus
of a President when he filled the vacan-
cies on the supreme bench" The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette writes on the LIST inst. that there
is probability that the game that is at
tempted to be played in this matter will
fail, from 'unanticipated difficulty" He
says:
'Judge Davis, although disagreeing
with the Court upon the main point then
i. at issue, is not convinced that otter the
Court has made ats decision, it is COM
petent, under preconcerted project ex-
pressly improvised for the occasion, to
unsettle the law by the mel interposition
of the power of other branches of the
Government. lie has, understand, no
particular reverence for the principle of

contrary doctrine in the ground, as my

The Democrats have elected English
Governor of Connecticut by about 600
majority, and the prospect is that they
have carried the Senate by one majority.
The Republicans have six majority in the
House. Last year the Republicans had
five majority in the Senate and thirty-one
in the House. JEWELS majority over
English last year was All. This shows
that the Democrats have made large gains

THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes, April 2:

THE Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes, April 2:
"The President, in private converse
ton last night, spoke very strongly of his
satisfaction at the ratification of the fiji
teenth amendment He said he had been
somewhat uneasy about the matter for
several weeks, and had more qualification
than he could well express in signing the
bill that made the amendment secure.
He also spoke on the question of educa-
ton, and said he hoped the people
throughout the country would grow into
more liberal ideas on the subject, and see
that the safety and well-being of the re-
public depend on the enlightenment of its
citizens"
Grants cant about the safety of the
republic depending on the intelligence of
its citizens, comes with exceeding bad
grace after the satisfaction he expressed
as the success of the fifteenth amendment,
and he may well be solicitous for the
safety of the republic under the operation
of that amendment. No government has
ever opened the ballot-box TO so large q
number of ignorant people as ours has by
the assumed ratification of the fifteenth
amendment
