A WORD TO DEMOCRATS.

We are not ashamed TO confess that un
I'll we had read and understood the view,
Of our leading party organs, we were al
loss to know how to steer our bark!
We now fecfassured that the plain,
manifest duty of our party, and all who
love their country with patriotic fervor,
is to give in our allegiance to the Liberal
party for the present, at least to receive
them as allics, met and united in the
conflict to battle for the one great, lead
ing purpose, to-wit: The overthrow Of
the Grant dynasty. This accomplished,
there will he no trouble in making further
treaties with them, and thus form a great
naiiond party, having for Its end and
aim, the perpetuity of free government,
universal amnesty, States rights, and a
E'sting peace
There is not Democrat in the South
who would not be greatly benefited by
the election of the Liberal ticket.

that they will and do intrust the CHIEF

The District In Congress

ne HouSe committee on the District of Col
umhia th's morning agreed to report favorab'v
on the bill which recently passed the Senate
authorizing tne sale OF the property at the cnr-
ner OF l4th and q streets heretofore used for
school purposes; the proceeds OF such sale to be
invested in other property 10 be used for sch Dol
purposes.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH BILL
Several gentlemen appeared before the com
mittee in opposition to the bill which recently
passed the Senate TO further define the duties OF
the Board of Health. Mr. j. VI. Iancston oil
the hoard, was present, but said he was not au-
thOrized to speak for the board, and he there
fore asked that time be fixed for a hearing on
The subject. The District legislature was rep
resented by Peter Campbell and j. W. lie
barnes The bill is now on the Speaker table
in the House and the committee agreed that
when II should be taken up they would not ask
It's passage, bat have il referred, aud then de-
termine the propriety OF giving hearing on its
merits to those interested. The bill at present
Is Just as it came from the Senate, and has not
been amended by the House. 1t is as follows:
" That it shall be the duty of the Board OF
Health OF the District OF Columbia, besides sucL
other duties as are imposed upon said board bv
section twenty-sX of the act OF Congress en-
tltled AN act TO provide a government for the
District of Columbia, approved February TWEEN
ty. first, eighteen hundred and seventy, TO make
and enforce regulations for the prevention OF
contagious and infectious diseases, including all
necessary quarantine regulations, and for the
protection OF life and limb from mechanical and
other sources of injury. They shall also make
and entol ce regulations for the thorough dsin-
lection and removal OF night-sOil; the removal
OF garbage, hOuse-oifal, and mlnure the inter
ment OF dead bodies; the sale OF poisons; the
compounding, putting up and delivery OF medic
inal substances; aud such other measures as the
pubic health requires. in the performance OF
which duties as well as those heretofore pro vided
for, they shall employ such agents as they may
deer necessary.
Sec. 2. That this act shall take effect from
and after its passage"
Messrs. Campbell and lie Barnes oppose the
bill on the ground that ii restricts the power of
the District legislature; and the Board of Health
being subordinate body, has no right to go TO
Congress for executive powers, being vested
with ample powers for the performance OF their
duties under the organic act. The amendment
they propose is to insert after the words District
OF Columbia the following: "by and with the
advice and consent OF the legislative assembly,
The druggists oppose that clause of the bill
which gives the Board of Health authority over

LIBBIE GARRABRANT FOUND GUILTY OF
MURDER.-Some months ago Ransom Bur
roughs, an old man, residing near Patterson
n. D., was found dead under circumstances
which gave rise TO suspicion that he had been
poisoned. In one OF his pockets was found a
paper, on which was written a statement inf
mating that death was produced by his own
hand. Libble Garrabrant, q young domestic.
living with Burroughs, was arrested and nut on
trial during the past week, at Patterson.
Analysis OF the stomach of deceased showed TN A.
arsenic had been administered. 1t was nroveS
that the paper found on his person was in nris.
oner,e handwriting, 1t was also Pre- we'd that
she had purchased arsenic. She testified on
her own behalf, stating that She gave the
arsenic to her lover, Van Wrinkle Boeart, and
wrote the paper at his dictation. She said she
dld not not know what Bogart did with the
poison. The trial terminated ON Saturday. in a
verdict OF murder in the first degree. 1t is said

me case OF the prisoner, leaving the Jury
but little choice. The prisoner maintained
eomposure during the trying ordeal. but broke
down on re.entering the prison. She will be
sentenced Nav 18th. ~
