Speaker Blaine is net making for him
self the reputation which bis friends an
ticipsted. Fer instance, the Washington
correspondent Of the New York Herald
SAYS: "HIs method Of making decisions
and of keeping order is something
which neithcr Banks, the king of parlia-
mentarians, nor Colfax, the smiling mas
ter of the Jeffersonian Manual, could
boast of. Mr.. Blaine has facile and
varied method, which is greatly assisted
by non retentive memory. He can
within five minutes give two decision on
the same point, and each as Numerically
opposite as possible. With the most re-
markable GOODNESS he can. decide "Yea"
for Dawes, or Schenck, or any other
prominent Republican, and 'tNay" for
Woodward, or Cox, or Eldridge, or any
other Democrat. He can pound his gaYel
with an energy that makes more rumpus
than half q dozen Congressman CAB
bling together, but no order comes, no
silence is restored. He can make twenty
times in twenty minutes that awful threat
of ''calling the honorable gentlemen by
n4men unless they take their seats; but
the honorable gentlemen heed net the inn
pending calamity, and go on with their
walking and standing about the aisles as
if the Speaker had never uttered the dire
cognomenical menace. The fact is Mr..
Speaker Blaine is not proving himself the
great man be was thought to be. He
does not come up to the scratch by any
sort of means. He has not displayed the
genius in the chair which his admirers
fondly anticipated, and never did he show
the fact more lamentably than Monday,
during the hauling over the Goals
of members absent from the House on
Friday evening last. A batch OF
these absentees, theoretically in the custo-
DIV of the dreadful Sergeant-at-Arms,
were called upon to give their excuses,
and the House got into one of its Gus
tomary muddles since Blaine's advent to
the Speakers chair, and Blaine made
things decidedly worse by his conflicting
decisions, irresolute manner and spas
modic fits of daring and inconsistency.
| One minute he ruled one way and the
next moment ruled precisely the opposite.
Whenever Dawes or Schenck asked per-
mission to speak he was always in order,
though others, talking precisely as much
out of rule or within rule, were sileRced
by the impartial Speaker. Nearly two
hours were wasted by the most imperti-
nent casing and buncombe, having about
as much relation to the subject under dis
cussion as the moon has to green cheese.
If Mr. Blaine keeps on in this style his
chances of reelection will bevery brilliant
by the end of the present Congress. "

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune writes: "SenatoI
Robertson, Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Political Disabilities, viii, in a
day or two, report an amnesty bill, which
the President is understood to favor. 1t
excludes from amnesty only three classes.
First Those who withdrew themselves
from Congress at the beginning of the re-
bellion to engage in tie secession move
ment; Second, Those who withdrew
from the United States Army and Navy
for the same purpose; Third: Those
who signed the original ordinance Of Sc
cession in the various States in 1861. II
is the belief that such a bill will pass
both Houses without material opposition.

STRANGE IF TRUE.

The New York Tribune says there is q
man now under sentence of death in
England who, by all the laws, should be
hung, but who, by some curious deform-
ity of the neck, cannot be hung-at least.
hanging him would be kind of cruel ex-
pertinent, with the chances against its
proving fatal, even after acute and
prolonged suffering, causing Gas the
jail surgeon has delicately represented to
the Home Secretary ga most unpleasant
scene" Here is pretty state of things.
indeed A man defying "the eternal
yerities," and the Mosaic law, and the
law of the land, and able to commit muir
der without adequate punishment, simply
because Providence has blessed him with
a particular kind of neck! 1t is very en-
barrassing.

The Washington RepUJHcan, Gram, :
hand organ, says in its issue Of April p :
The PresidentNis anxious 10 have the
SJpremc Court change its decision Oh the
icgal-tendcr question, as hc is Of the
opinion that, under the decision, those
soldiers and sailors who were paid in
paper money between the rise in the value
Of gold and the enactment Of the LEGAL
tender act, will have q right to demand
the difference between the value of paper
and gold on wha; they then received. He
estimates The total difference in the value
Of the soldiers and sailors pay during
that time at one hundred thousand dol
lars. Rather than the soldiers, who did
the fighting ''to save the life of the ma
ton, should get the paltry sum OF one
hundred thousand dollars, Grant prefers
that the Supreme Court of the United
States should stultify itself by reversing
its deliberate decision. He is very fear
fulthat the soldiers will get few dollars
more for the hard services they performed.

DEATH OF HON. RICHARD YEA
DON.

The Charleston Courier comes to us
draped in mourning for the death of Hon.
Richard YcadOn, who has been connected
with that paper for more than forty years
in the capacity of editor and part owner.
Mr.. Yeadon was one of the most distin-
guished citizens of South Carolina. Pre-
vious to the war he stood at the head of
the editorial profession of Charleston and
ranked among the first lawyers of that
city. He was born in Charleston on the
esd of October, 1902, and died at his resi-
dcnce in that city on the oath instant.

THE HOWARD INvEsTIGATI0N,

| THE HOWARD IhFESTIGATlON
The attempt of the friends of Gen
Howard to fOrestsA public opinion BY
denunciation of his prosecutors, does no
seem to be meeting with entire SUCCESS.
1t is very hard that so prominent light
in Radicaldom as the great head of the
Freedmen's Bureau should be found guilty
of the offences charged, but the indica-
tons are decidedly against him, The
Cincinnati Gazette, Radical, administers
to his comfort as followsI
The advice of an old lawyer, when
there was no defense, was to BLACKBOARD
the plaintiffs attorney. The defense in
the Howard investigation seems to con-
fess a need of similar strategy. The
charges made by Mr.. Wood are very con
else and specific. The question to be de-
Cided is whether they are true. The de-
tense has every advantage, for if he fails
10 prove them they are to be held false.
Bat instead of meeting them squarely,
they try diversion by charge of CON
spiracy. They used this outside to preiu-
dice public opinion, but when they tried
to produce evidence of it they failed ig-
ANONYMOUSLY. And what if there had
been a combination to prepare these
charges, would that have answered them9
All this indicates fear to meet the issue.

CALEB Cushing has sent a letter to the
Fifth Auditor in answer to that written on
the 2lst inst. by Geo. G.. Gather, late
American Secretary to the Joint American
and Mexican commission, in which he
charges the commission with having
squandered large sums of money to no
avail. The letter of Mr.. Cushing is a
very long and bitter one. He denies in
toto the charges made by Gather and re-
taliates by asking that an examination be
made into the accounts Of Gather. He
also charges Gather with the grossest in

IT is aseertained that the number killed
by the falling of the floor of the capitol
at Richmond, Va, on Wednesday viii
exceed sixty, while the wounded is known
to be over two hundred. The burning Of
the theatre in that city in 1871, when q
large number of persons, including many
ladies, persisted, is the only disaster in the
history of Richmond that affords the
slightest parallel to this calamity. The
capitol was built in 1892, and the impress.
sion now is that it will be abandoned. II
was in this building that the Confederate
Congress held its sessions.

FRUIT trees are out in all parts OF The
country, excepting in the extreme South,
where of course the fruit trees are adj
vanced beyond the budding stage. The
stories that the fruit trees were seriously

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution.
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS
TRATION, Is THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The introduction of
PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-
pared with pure St. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The Ife-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested In
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change. If
the appetite has failed, It is quickened;
if digestion has been painful and imper-
feet, it becomes easy and thorough; If
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; if the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrung; II the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies, they
are put to fight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face Of the extraor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
s!s, biliouness, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought BY Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist In
it. The terrible evacuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring and Sum-
mer medicines, hsyo utterly lost their
prestige. The sick willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, in which are COM
bined the elements Of stomachic, an
invigorant, mild laxative, nerVine and
an anti-biious specific, reign In their
stead. Sold by al Druggists.

THE NEW FOOD SOURCE.


SEA MOSS FARINE.-This new and
elegant preparation, made from Irish Moss
or Caragreen, is conceded to be the cheap
est, healthiest and most delicious food in
the world. As a delightful table dessert
it has no equal, and is light and delicate
food for Invalids and children. 1t is su-
perior to all kindred preparations.
This new article of food has every
where won "golden opinions" of all
sorts of people, and the house-keepers of
the land generally regard it in the double
light of staple necessary and a delicious
luxury, for while it lessons the expense of
living, the exquisite dishes prepared from
it cannot be obtained even at an extraYa-
CANT cost from any other source. For
twenty-five cents you can buy package
which will make sixteen quarts of Blanc
Mango, and Like quantity of Puddings,

But there several really invaluable medicinal
