The Condition Of the south.
Henry Ward Beecher in Christian Union

hOhiJ "Aiu Deecncr III NnTstlan JnlOn.J
1t is needless here to trace the politi
cal history of reconstruction, or TO ap
portion the blame for its mistakes. i
is enough to say that in point of fact the
State governments of the South have
very largely fallen into the hands of ig.
norant and knavish men. Public money
has been wasted and stolen by wholesale.
A proud and high.spirited population
have seen their places of trust and honor
filled by foreign adventurers and unedu-
Gated freedmen. The old political lead
ers in whom the people had confidence
and who alone had experience in the
conduct of affairs, have been excluded
by Congress. The course of politics has
tended to deepen the antagonism be-
tween the former masters and the blacks,
and TO still further ALLEVIATE the former
from the national authority. This is a
gloomy picture. One feature remains
to be added. Into this weakened and
distracted community there has been no
infusion of new, healthy blood 1t was
hoped that immigration would renovate
the South. But there has been no inn
migration, or but little. The old ele-
ments are left to work out their way un-
assisted. OF the present duty Of the
nation at large toward the South we
shall here say but word. The best SER
vice that can be rendered to the South
ern people politically is to let them alone
Disabilities should be swept away at a
blow. There should be no more Federal
interference with local affairs. Political
salvation for the South can only come
through her own people.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

| Atmospheric Diseases air. without
which no creature could live. is the source Of
diseases Of which millions die. AT this sea
son. especially, the atmosphere Is full of the
germs of many kinds of sickness. Every
globule of the mist and fog which cloud the
earth and sky in spring holds In solution its
portion Of miasmatic poison.
The evil effects of this erial virus can only
be certainly averted by Increasing the vital
activity of the system and securing the full
and free exercise Of all its natural functions.
and hence it is. that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, the great nerve strengthener. regulator
and antidote to malaria. is imperatiyely re.
quired in the spring months.
1t is at this time, too. that Dyspepsia as
sumes its most distressing types. and that
persons Of bilious habit usually suffer most.
There is an influence in the air which de
presses the spirits as we'll as the physical en-
ergies, and in order to restore their elasticity
tonic treatment is absolutely necessary.
All the world knows that the wonderful
efficacy of Hostetter's Bitters in cases of indi-
geStion. biliousness. nervous prostration and
malarious fever is due to the potency Of its
tonic. Alternative and aperient materials. and
the absolutely pure stimulant with which
they are incorporated.
1t is because the public have been taught by
twenty years experience that the article can
be implicitly trusted-inasmuch as it performs
uniformly and certainly all that it is adyer-
tised to do-that they prefer this sovereign
tonic to every other. Hence It's immense and
eyer-increasnQ sales and hence too alas I
the many counterfeits and limitations. against
which there is no safeguard except the close
scrutiny Of the purchaser.

care, all the full, strong tension Of her
being is on the care for the little one;
and the child gets turn for the better;
she never leaves the cradle that she so
gently rocks until that child is ont of

comes back again; lite is one grand an
them to her again; all is JOY, all is glad
ness; her cup runneth over, and her
love knows no limits all around her is
radiant. Is He who created that heart
less than the heart that beat over that
cradle? If that mother could, out Of
the magazine of her love, bring out such
marvellous moral heroism, how much
more shall He reveal to us wonders upon

in whom we live, we move and have our
being2 A practical application of these
truths, and an earnest call TO surrender
their will to the God who has thus en-
dowed us and loved us, closed dis
course of more than average Beecherian
merit.

The question of ventilation which is a
serious matter in such scheme, it is
proposed TO meet either by shafts Of iron
rising at suitable intervals to a sufficient
hight above the level OF the sea, or by
propelling the trains by atmospheric
pressure, and thus while introducing
fresh air avoid the formation Of foul air
by the fires of locomotives. Other pro-
jects consist in laying tubes of iron or
masonry on the bed Of the sea and ven
tilating these by shafts communicating
with the air. In one of these plans it is
proposed to use the shafts as lighthouses.
A tube-like corridor or roadway floating
at depth of forty feet below the level
of the sea, and kept in place by great
chains and anchors, has also been pro-
posed. Floating bridges, with gigantic
draws, and bridges of enormous span,
with arches of sufficient hight to permit
the passage Of ships in all weathers,
have also been suggested. Last, and
perhaps the most practicable of all, is
the scheme of employing enormous yes
sells or hat-boats which may take whole
train on board and deliver it safely Oh
the opposite shore.

MOunt Vernon,

Mrs. Emily Ejson Briggs, OLIVIA
publishes an article in the Washington
Chronicle concerning the treatment OF
Mount Vernon, which cannot but attract
the attention of Congress and the public.
She makes the grayest charges against
Miss PAMELA Cunningham, regent for
life over the estate, under the charter
authorizing the Mount Vernon Ladies
Association Of the Union to purchase
two hundred acres of that estate, inelud-
ing the mansion and tomb Of Washing
ton, She charges that Miss Cunning
ham has usurped all power heretofore
centered in the Association, and states
that Mount Vernon has become to all
intents and purposes Miss Cunningham S
private property for life; and, after this,
gives the facts upon which these start
ling charges are based. She directly
ailirms that certain money given this
Mount Vernon Association might as
we'll have dropped into the depths of the
see. Miss Cunningham is represented
as living IA extrayagapt style, With a
great retinue of servants, ETC., her eK-
penses paid to and from South Carolina,
as well as for her fashionable sojourn at
Cane May; and the writer asks why the
large sum of 100000 is being raised
for Mount Vernon, when the estate is
selfsupporting, the steamer Arrow alone
paying into the treasury $500 monthly.
The arraignment occupies two columns
in The Washington Chronicle, and has
attracted general attention.

Come, maiden. come with me to glide
All alone Ger the sea;
My lovely and portionless bride.

My bark dances on the waters,
Like bird on the wing:
See-see its bright flag and its sail;
Think not that tits tiny and frail.
For am its king.
Let the waters be stormy or still,
We shall not sink beneath !: -,
Let the winds rage round at their will.
And threaten with death.
The winds and the waves | defy,
No longer then wait;
No wall to imprison thee now;
No one to say nay TO thy vow
None with us bat Fate.
Tho land?-it was made for the slave,
And for toll. day and night; g
But the sea. for the free and the brave
Lies boundlcss and bright.
Each wave has a secret Of pleasure;
1t whispers to me. rr

NEW YORK CHURCHES.
How they are BecOmIng a stamp
ing Ground for Filtration.


New York cor. st. Louis Republican,
1t is an undeniable fact that each year
these church anniversaries are more uni.
versally observed. New York is not
getting more religious, far from it, but
religion is far more fashionable than it
was. Every day in the calendar has now
a significance that used only TO crown
Christmas, and Easter and Fast-day.
Fancy prayer-books are now indispensa-
BILE adjuncts to a young lady's toilet.
The musical services are only surpassed
by the Academy operas, in our different
churches. The High-Church Episcopa-
lians have got so high that they outshine
the Catholics in candles and costumes.
and acolytes and other lights.
At one church in this city somewhat
theatrical effect is produced by the altar
boys all marching out, down stairs and
under the entire building, singing
Nearer my God to thee land farther
away from you), until their voices are
lost in the distance.
Then another great use for churches
has been discovered by the advanced in
tellect Of the age. They are the great
stamping ground for Irritation. They
are the modern Meceas of appointment.

THE ARMS QUESTION.
Majority Report OF the Arms Inyesti.
eating COmmittee-They Declare
the Work Well Done-NObOdy
Hurt and Nobody to Blame.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Mr. Will
liams, of Indiana, chairman of the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the War De-
partment, made report with the testi-
mOny taken in the investigation on the
sale of arms and ordnance stores during
the Frsnco-Prussian war. The report
was ordered printed together with the
views of the minority.
The Committee reports the following
conclusions.
First-That the act Of Congress of Ju-
ly 20, 1868, authorizing the sale Of un-
suitable arms, gave, by fair interpre-
tation Of its letter and spirit, full author
ity to the Secretary Of War to
sell and dispose of the arms
and ordnance stores in question, and
that he violated neither the letter nor
the spirit of the law.
Second-That the proceeds of the sale
were promptly paid into the treasury.
Third-Ihat no sales were made to
any known agent Of either belligerent
governments: and that no act was done
BY the Secretary of War, or any of his
suboydiuates, that was calculated to inn
pair or violate any international obliga-
ton.
Fourth-That no official of the United
States Government was pecuniarily benz
Gifted in connection with the sales.
Fifth-That the only party benefited
was the Government of the United
States, IN having disposed Of unsuitable
arms at the highest market price,
amounting 10 nearly ten millions Of
dollars.
