Preventive Medication radical change

now rarely resorted to even by the most dog

creed was that disease was something which
must be expelled by violent artificial means,
irrespective of the wear and tear Of the vital

recognizes the improvement Of the general
health as essential to the cure Of all local all

WELL SAID.

The Macon Telegraph dcprecat-
ing all secret political organizations
says;
'Lo: the Radicals keep up their
Loyal Leagues and other secret
clubs as long as they may. They
cannot do very much in that line,
except on the hypothesis that they
are antagonizlng some other secret
Democratic organization; and when
the government and the politics OF
the country become reduced to the
piottings ofsecrct, oath-bound clubs,
and spies, informers and detectives,
we have no politics left worth saw
ing. Let Democrats walk in the
light of day, and defy the powers of
darllness--the housing owls and
vampires of secrecy and stealth
Liberty lives not in darkness nor
under lock and key. Patriotism
needs no bloody oaths or dismal rit-
ual. Democrats, spurn the whole
brood Of secret political organiza-
tions, and remember that their
record is written in the blood of free
dom and good government"

encountered in mastering the Eng
lish language may readily be mag
ined when we state his age, thirty
five years. Nevertheless, he re-
turned home at the expiration of the
year, able to read and write English.
In his own language the prince
could speak in three different styles,
to-wit: the Katakan language, or
colloquial, mandarin, and script
When asked what special reason his
people had for desiring to be educat-
ed in this country, the prince said
that his people desired to know how
a country less populous than Japan
could be so much more powerful
The prince returned to Japan some
months ago, but will resume his
studies next year. In all, twenty
japanese have attended the city col
lego within the last three years. At
present there arc but two of the race
at the institution. Tho japanese
have manifested a dislike to stay in
California since the completion of
the railroad, and those who visit
this country for educational purposes
generally make short stay here,
and then pass on to tho Eastern
States. But they all become thor
oushly imbued with American ideas,
and use them promiScuously at
home.

BLAIR AND GRANT

Gen. Blair abiding recently to
his published opinion in 1868 Of
Gen. Grant said:
"Thcy wcro shocked at me some
tim eago when | said that Grant was
nothing but soldier; that his in
stincts, his education, and every
thing about him were those only of
a soldier; and that he knew no
weapon Of power but the bayonet,
and that he would not scruplo to
keep power by the use ofthc bayonet.
They were shocked at this. They
thought was harsh and ill,judging.
But you see what has come to pass
since. The man who used the bay
onct in Alabama would use it in New
I ork, and if he had exercised the
power vested in him to the full cX-
tent at the last election he would
have New York to-day, both city
and State, in worse condition than
they were under the Radical ma
jority."

the Republican Governor, Grantz
Brown, said of Gen, Frank Blair:
"But apart from that | wish to
bear this testimony, as have been
a co-laborer with the honorable gem
tIeman in many Of his past actions,
as served with him in the Legisla-
ture and been cognizant to a large
extent Of his actions, | wish to bear
this distinguished testimony that for
perfect purity of character, for per-
feet courage Of character, he has not
an equal in the United States
During a long period Of public life
that has tried both of US, he on one
side and ! on the other, / say that
his integrity has stood all the tests,
all the Vaccinations of political APP

when he goes to the Senate to rep
resent you there he will represent
you as a faithful man, conscientious
in his opinions, determined in his
ideas and pure in his character"

FROM THE BALLOT TO THE BAY
ONET

Commenting upon Senator Nor
toms Ku-klux bill, the Missouri Re
publican sums up the whole case
thus.
''rho Radical party having APP
pealed to the polls and been over
thrown, now appeal to tho bayonet,
and pin their hopes upon that piece
of giittering steel which is the chos-
en- instrument of tyrants the world
over. The President and his friends
have thrown oil the mask, and dis
play the real spirit and purpose
which have actuated them from the
beginning. We hear no more about
let US have peace, restored Union,
universal amnesty, or any Of that
soft nonsense which these gentlemen
distributed so IayishIy short time
since. There is to be no peace, no
Union, no amnesty, no justice, hon
or or honesty in our dealings with
the South, until the people of the
country rise in their might and
strangle a party which has been
nothing but an unmitigatod curse
from the beginning Of its existence. y

COLUMBUS is now manufacturing

about 200, 900. The Enquirer in an
article on "Our Extravagances,"
says:
"Say We have a population in two
miles of the courthouse of fifteen
thousand. What will that popula-
ton consume in articles that arc un-
necessary, not to say pernicious 2
We have ciphered it out somewhat,
and conclude that we consume $780,

GOVERNOR BULLoCKs ADVBR
TISING

Ll01NG-
Some Of our Georgia Papers ar
que that the Democratic Presses of
The State which publish the official
proclamations of Governor Bullock
compromise their integrity. This Is
absurd. The JOURNAL was anon 3
the papers prescribed by General
PorE for opposing reconstruction
We have held fast to our integrity,
standing to-day where we did then,
only accepting the present order OF
things until they can be constitution
ally rightcd. This is certainly as
ultra democratic as any of our CO.
temporarics can boast, and for us it
settles the political aspect of the
question: In a moralpoint of view,
we contend that it is none Of our
business, if the matter is uneXccpt-
ionable, what may be the length OF
the Governors advertisements
We may believe that they arc mju-
diciously lengthy; but the law has
made the Governor, not US, the off
cial Judge ofthe matter and the re-
sponsibility rests with him alone,
and it is not for US to refuse the
publication on account of its length
or to denouncc the advertiser there
for. or to insist that it be made
shorter, as long as we are paid
by the square.
The truth is, Messieurs OF the
Press. this is purely amatter Of bus
mess. Ifthere is a grievance, it is
one not for us. but for the Legisla-
ture or the people, to remove Mr..
Bullock is the Governor Of Georgia.
If he violates law, we are not the
party to iuaict punishment upon
him and when before the proper
party it is shown that he has violated
law. it will he time enough for Us to
consider the limit to be put upon his
publications in this paper.

THE GREAT ISSUE.

The great political issue OF the day
is very partially approhonded BY
the people of this country. Simply,
it is just a question, whether we
shall 60 back to Constitutional Re-
public, or forward, to an Empire; a
question that must and will be soly-
ed in the swift coming years. 1t IS
useless to speculate upon the evils
the calamitics-its solution may m
volve. is enough if we note the
steps which indicate the approach
ing crisis and, as wise men, prepare
ourselves for the inevitable.
Radical reconstruction has subor-
dinated the Federal Constitution to
party domination. Itno longer pre-
scribe8 to party power limit to its
exercise. This alone is fatal and
launches us at once into the widest
political revolution, into a struggle
unequallod for partizan despotism.
The present dominant national
party has brought about this state OF
things and many good easy souls
ouietthemsclycs with the belief that
with the States reconstructed andtur-
Their Congressional usurpation unne-
cessary that the revolution is at an
end. It!has only begun. lfa new d
rection does not forbid, future politi-
cal parties willfnd occasion for future
usurpations; but, IN those already
accomplished, it may be, that the
18TH Amendment has furnished a
lever TO the Executive Department
of the Government adequate for the
overthrow of all that remains of the
temple of liberty. 1t is said that
the Executive is now seeking to
infuse new spirit into the secret
radical leagues of the country and to
obtain from Congress q little add
tional force to the 18th amendment
that it may not only control the polls,
but if necessary disfranchiso whole
States at its discretion. 50 we sec
that reconstruction promises to take
new direction.
Now what is there to stay this
tendency to Empire 2 Nothing, un-
less tho national democratic party,
standing sluarely upon the only Vi
tai principle of its platform insists
that the reconstruction acts arc un-
constitutional and cold. In that
way alone can the Constitution with
its limitations, be restored. Adam
don that plank and we all move to-
gcthcr with the current to Empire.
The GREAT ISSUE then before the
people of this country, upon which
they are to decide within two
years, is, whether they will have a
CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC or an
EMPIRE! You eau make nothing
else of it-thoro is nothing else of a
political nature before you. There
is no doubt that the American peo-
pie will decide according to their
wisdom.

PROGRESS OF JAPANESE STU
DENTS IN AMERICA.

DENTS IN AMERICA.
We copy as follows from the San
Francisco Bulletin:
Illustrative of the wholesome good
flowing from the pleasant relations
between the United States and ia
pan, we have only to glance at the
Japanese who have been or who are
at present in process of roconstruc-
ton at the collegiate institutions of
the country. Three years ago two
Japanese officials, pursuant to in
structions from their own govern
ment, came to California to study
the language and customs Of the
American people. They learned
English rapidly, and displayed great
oagernoss and aptitude for the &C
QUESTION of thorough knowledge of
mathematics. In fact, thirst for
mathematics is one Of characteristics
of the race. The two representa-
tives of Japan TO whom we refer
made excellent progress in their
studies at the city college, and re-
turned home with high opinion of
America and her people. The in
formation disseminated among the
Japanese stimulated others to violate
time-honored traditions, and in q
brief space of time another delcga-
ton from the two-swordcd or aristo-
cratic class put in appearance here.
The japanese arriving on this occas-
ION were youths Of fifteen TO twenty
years of age, intelligcnt-looking
athletic fellows, full of life and spir-
its. While en- route to the port
they commenced to abandon their
natural customs and dress, and as
sumed American garments. The
top. knot was discarded, the hair al
lowed to grow in front, and careful
ly parted to the side, and since that
time the Japanese students have
been invariably dressed as Ameri-
cans before landing here. OF the
second instalment of Japanese which
arrived here, two men displayed re-
markable proficiency in their stud
ies-ono exceling in geometcry and
physical geography, and tho other
in :he English language. The geo
mctrical expert was appointed to the
command of japanese ship soon
after his return home; the linSulst
became the interpreter for the
Mikado's brother, and subsequently
accompanied his employer to this
country.
Instances similar to the above are
not Of unusual occurrence, if the
statements of the japanese are to be
relied upon. They relate that the
japanese who travel abroad and be-
come educated in the languages Of
foreign nations are treated with in
creased respect upon returning TO
their native land. About year ago
japanese prince of high rank came
to san Francisco and entered the
educational institution previously
mentioned. In his own language he
VIZ well informed, and being natur-
ally bright and intelligent, lie sue
ceeJed in making admirable pro-

THE NEW RADICAL PROGRAMME
GENERALIZATION DESPOTISM

Il IN
GENERALIZATION DEsP0TISM.
The Richmond Dispatch speaking
Of the new movement of the Radical
iunta in Washington, says:
Congress las ruled with such a
sweeping hand, and its measures
have been SO bold and reckless, that
people have ceased to wonder and to
be surprised at any measure, how
ever uncon8titutiona and however
aggressive.
If the people acquiosco and show
no disapprobation of this step to get
the elections entirely into the hands
Of the Federal Governmental di-
rect them at the polls, and to yitiate
them at its pleasure---it is not diff
cult to SEQ how the party in power
may perpetuate its reign; nor Is 1t
difficult to see emerging from such
a state Of things the strife which
will terminate in the usurpation of
the powers Of Government by one
man for a tyranny, such as may
be established by the machinery
Congress is now building, cannot be
maintained by many, but must in
evitably resolve itself into the rule
of one man.
