According to the programme, the
bogus Legislature of Georgia has rat
fled the Fifteenth Amendment infa-
my. This is the way it was done =
Georgia having complied with all the
requirement of the Radical Rump,
was declared duly reconstructed
over year ago, and admitted to
representation in Congress, but her
Legislature having voted against this
infamous fraud, the State was turned
out of the Union, remanded to a ter
ritorial condition by Congress, and
ordered, under the threat of being for
ever kept under the rule of that little
triangular piece of STEEL" to ratify.
Fearing that even this means would
not succeed, Congress sent a General
of the army down there to pick out a
Legislature to consummate the infamy.
And it is this which the Jacobins call
ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment by Georgia. It is by such means
that this infamous measure is to be
carried through and declared to be a
| part of the fundamental law of the
land. With as much show of right,
might the usurpers demand that New
York, Kentucky, Delaware, Mary
land, California and every other State
shall obey their despotie behests, or
be deprived of all right to- manage
their own domestic affairs, and placed
under the mild rule of the bayonet.-
Already they claim that this iniquity
haslbeen accomplished. They know
that it has received the ratification Of
only eighteen States and eight Militia.
gy Districts, which the Jaeobins deny
to be States. The Constitution re-
quires all amendments to be ratified
by States. IF these dependencies are
mot States, then they have no right tt
1vote upon the ratification Of the
amendment. If they are States the!
have right to vote upon the ratifica
! ton without any threats or coercion
} from the usurpers and tyrants VIII
}. control their action by depriving then
of their constitutional rights by fore
!, Eof the bayonet. This whole thing i
an infamous fraud, and the day is no
, far distant when it, will be declare'
unconstitutional by the proper tribu
r nal, and treated as a nullity. sEaa

The Right nnotrine.

Governor Haight, of California, in
a special message to the Legislature
of that State OH the 9th Instant, takes
the ground that the Fifteenth Amend
ment can not be legally ratified with
out it receives the uncoerced assent
of every State. 1t is a fundamental
reserved right of the States, in the
formation of the Constitution, to reg
ulate suffrage, which the amending
power possessed by three fourths OF
them can not take away without unan-
imous consent.

Bad Faith.

Even the Radical New York I'Ttb-
une is constrained to denounce the,
bad faith of Congress in it's action
towards Virginia. 1t says:
"The House has adopted the SEN
ate's perverse action on the Virginia
bill without amendment. The terms
on which at length Virginia is to be
admitted, may be found embodied in
the report of the proceedings. We
do not need to repeat that aoe deeply
regret the result finally attained at
the end of these weary weeks of de-
bate and recrimination. Congress
prescribed certain terms for the ad-
mission of Virginia; the State COM
piled to the full with those terms !;
Congress now prescribes fresh terms |!
This is Furnishing the treason of Vir-
ginia in 1861 by bad faith on the part
Of Congress in 1870. We do not be-
lieve such course to be craftsmanship
or even sound party policy; and ag-
gravating as is the wrong done Vir-
ginia, we believe she will suffer less
from it in the end than will the party
that aUrou Qht at.'

Death of Ex-Govcrnor Trimble.
Ex-Governor Allen Trimble died at
his residence in Hillsboro, Highland
county, Ohio, on Thursday last at
the advanced age of eighty-seven
years. He was one of the early pion-
GERS of the State, and had been identi-
fed with its history almost ever since
it was admitted into the Union in
1902. He early took an active part in
politics, and was four times candi-
date for Governor of the State-frst
in 1922, and again in 1924, being both
times defeated, and again in 1928,
when he was elected over John w.
Campbell, the Democratic candidate.
In 1856 he was the nominee of the
"Americans" against Salmon P. Chase
and William Medill. Originally he
was an old Clay Whig, but during the
last ten or twelve years he had been
identified with the Democratic party.

HOUSE.

Mr.. Stevenson, from the committee on
Elections, called up the Louisiana con-
tested election case of Hunt against
Sheldon, and the House decided to con-
slider it at once.
Mr.. Stevenson yielded to Mr.. Nc.
Crazy, who introduced bill declaring
80 much of the Iowa river, in Iowa, as
lies north of the town of Wapello, not
to be navigable river or public high
way.
After an explanation the bill was
passed.
The House then proceeded to the
consideration of the Louisiana con-
tested election case.
Mr.. Stevenson advocated the majority
report, that Sheldon was Untitled to a
seat and Mr.. Kerr supported the minori.
ty report favoriDg Hunt. Sheldon, the
sitting member, advocated his right to
the seat.
Mr.. Stevenson closed the discussion
and it was agreed that vote be taken
to morrow.
The following bills were introduced
and referred:
By Mr.. Schofield-Amendatory of the
homestead act in favor of honorably
discharged soldiers; also to fix and es'
tablish the number of enlisted persons
in the navy.

NEW YORK.
The Seventh Day Of the HcFarIau,
Trial.

The Seventh Day Of the ucFarIaud
Trial.
NEW YORK, April 12.-Tbe interest on
the seventh day in the Mcfarland trial
was undated. A noticeable number
of ladies were in attendance, which in
creases daily.
The first witness examined this morn
ing was Nicholas st. John Green, who
testified that he was o member of the
Boston bar; had been so for sixteen
years; remembered having been re-
tanned in proceeding in habeas cor
pus brought by Daniel Mcfarland
against Albert d. Richardop; the mo-
tion before the Court when he went
into the case was to punish the father
and mother OF Mrs. Mcfarland for con-
tempt on not producing their children;
remembered having an interview with
Richardson.
The Court stated that the witness
could not be allowed to state what
Richardson had said to him. Mr.. Gerry
offered to prove by the witness that
Richardson had supplied funds for
litigation. The testimony was ruled
out as iuadmissable, the defense except
ing. Mr.. Gerry asked the witness if he
had received instructions from Rich
ardson in relation to the case. The ties
timony was excepted to. Mr.. Graham
argued that the evidence showing that
Mrs. Mcfarland acted under the influ-
euce OF Richardson and that he was the
whole cause of the alienation
of Mrs. Mcfarland from her hus-
band, and that in the prosecution
80 ha emit for tho of hia child
rem, Mcfarland had TO fight not his
wife, but Richardson. Itwas important
to the prisoner to prove the relations
existing between his wife and Richard
son, and to show that she was acting
entirely under his influence. Her hus-
band thought the recovery of his child
rem would be followed by the return of
his wife, whom he still loved, and Rich
ardson probably was Of the same
opinion; hence his efforts to keep the
father from obtaining possession of his
children. This woman was vibrating
between the unholy love Richardson
had enkindlsd in her bosom, and the
natural affection for her children, and
were the purse of Richardson net at her
con troll, she might have returned to her
husband.
The Recorder ruled that the evidence
proposed to be given was inadnisable.
Judge Davis said as he understood
the habeas corpus matter, stipulation
was entered into between the prisoner
and his wife by which they agreed to
seperate, each retaining the custody OF
ono child.
The witness, Green, further testified
that at the time he saw Mcfarland in
Boston the prisoner was, in his judg-
meut, insane, at least in fair way to
become so.
f. X. Phillips, another member of
the Boston bar was the next witness.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

THE life of the flesh Is in the Blood" Is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be true:
The people talk of bad blood. as the cause OF
many diseases, and like many popular opinions
this Of bad blood Is founded in truth. To say
nothing Of those humors that are hereditary, we
can easily see how the Blood may become bad
from the imperfect Digestion or failure OF ex-
erection, and how this may influence the process
of Nutrition. and thrs influence all the func-
tional activities Of the body.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion-causes imperfect nutri'
ton, and consequently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues lose their tone and elasticity,
and the tongue becomes pale, broad, and fire.
ouently covered with pasty, white coat. This
condition soon shows itself in rotghness OF the
skin, then in ERUPTIvE and ULCERATIvE diseases,
and when long continued, results in serious
LESSONS of tho Brain, Liver, Lungs, or urinary
apparatus. Much, very much, suffering is caused
by impure blood. 1t Is estimated by some that
one-fifth of the human family are effected with
scr0fula in some form.
When the Blood is pure, yon are not 80 liable
to any disease. Many impurities Of the Blood
arise from impure diseases of large cities:
Eradicate every impurity from the fountain OF
life and good spirits fair skin and vital strength
