An Irishman took the contract
to dig a public we'll When he had
dug about twenty-five feet down,
he came one morning and found it
.caved in-filled nearly to the top.
Pat looked cautiously around and
saw that no person was near, then
took off his hat and coat, hung
them on a windlass, crawled into
some bushes and waited events. In
a short time the citizens discoy-
cred that the well had caved in,
and seeing Pats hat and coat on
the windlass they supposed he was
at the bottom Of the excavation.
Only a few hours of brisk digging
cleared the loose earth from the
we'll. Just as the eager citizens
had reached the bottom, and were
wondering where the body was,
Pat came out of the bushes, and
good-naturedly thanked them for
relieving him of sorry job, Some
of the tired diggers were disguised,
but the joke was too good to allow
anything more than a hearty laugh,
which soon followed, ..

The Alabama Claims.

Il AUAA the AAAAAGetOA G0uE4GAs
The issues now presented be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, it seems to us, are easy Of
solution. They can be determined
by reference to the diplomatic cor
respondence which preceded the
treaty and in which each party
presented its respective grounds of
grievance. In other words, each
party stated its case. Their mu-
tual demands were then set forth.
The treaty, of course, could only
be in reference to these matters of
difference. If any others have been
since introduced, it is as clear as
the monday sun that these could
not have been in the contemplation
Of the treaty. It is only upon mat
ters OF heretofore discussion that
an arbitration can have effect.
War, on such an issue, on the part
of the government, would be a
mere act of folly. For seven long
years the whole country has as
PRED for peace at home. We need
here concord, unity and right. We
need a common constitution, and a
common citizenship for all States
and people, The great proverb
stands forth in letters of living
light, i" Physician, heal thyseH."
When this is accomplished, and
Republic and self-government re-
stored, it is time enough to discuss
foreign relations and our positions
to foreign powers.
FROM the Boston Post.
For the purpose Of creating a
false popularity Grant seems anx-
ious to work the nation up to
war fever. How soon it may result
in actual war no one can tell. Are
we prepared for a foreign war?
Gan we stand the drain upon our
crippled resources? Are not for
eign war and the reputation of
our present enormous war debt al
most Synonymous terms? These
are questions to be considered by
the American people before trust
ing Grant and his advisers with
another term of Office.

The progressive Democrats of

FROM WASHINGTON.
Special Correspondence Charleston
Coarier.

/
ate last night, This result was ex-
pected. Though a very large ma
iority would be obtained for Am
nesty, if separated from the Sum
ner Civil Rights bib the two
together could not pass. The
Summer Amendment was adopted
by the casting vote Of the Vice
President Great applause fol-
lowed from the galleries, which
were filed with blacks. Mr.. Sum-
ner exclaimed, exultingly, " now is
the bill elevated and consecrated 7"
But the Amnesty bill had an
other ordeal to pass. Republican
Senators demanded that the Ku-
Klux should be excepted. Mr..
Edmunds alleged, upon the au-
thority of a United States officer,
that General Kershaw, General
Wade Hampton, and General M.
G. Butler, of South Carolina, con-
stituted a part of the Advisory
Board of the Ku-Klux organiza-
ton. This was denied, or doubted,
but was reiterated. Finally, upon
the motion of Mr.. Morton, it was
provided that no person shall re-
ceived the benefit of the bill until
he has made oath that he has
never been a member of the Ku-
Klux Khan. .....
The bill was defeated by a vote
of thirty-three to nineteeen-not
two thirds. Some members were
parted off. Some refused to vote
at all. Several were absent in New
York, on the Committee of InVes-
tigation. But an examination of
The vote shows that no better re-
suit can be expected from a re-
newal of the subject.
There are one or two more Am
nesty bills from the House, which
Mr.. Robertson can call up and re-
new the struggle but Mr.. Sumner
will interpose again his vague Civil
Rights amendment, with the like
success.
The Senate, too, is weary of the
subject. The session has been
chiefly devoted to it, and there is
little prospect that any acceptable
Amnesty bill can pass.
Thus the Grant policy is de-
feated by Sumner, who has as
sumed to lead the Radical wing of
the Republican party. Grants au-
thorlty Tor amnesty was often APP
pealed to in the debate, but it ap-
peared that Grant had no influence
over the Sumnerites. g.....'
In the course of the debate last
night Mr., Upton denounced Mr..
Summers amendment as an minis
tifable interference Of Federal au-
thority, and declared the whole
system of legislation which had
sprung up from the reconstruction
policy to be unconstitutional, He
predicted that the people would
demand the removal of all this
legislation, and if they could not
get it otherwise, would have il at
the point Of the bayonet. Mr.. Tip
toms speech produced some sensa-
ton. Ho
Tho treaty subject will not lie
still in the Senate, for much can
be made out of it for Buncombe.

A TRUE DEMocRArtc SrAND.-The

n,is-represent the political views of any
gentleman, and therefore cheerfully gives
place to the following letter from Clay
w. Taylor. Esq, whom we enormously
classed as d supporter of Grant. We
think the stand taken by Mr.. Taylor is
the only one which a DemocrAt who is
one from principle, can consistently take.

Midsummer Maiaiiies.

The hot solar rays that ripen the har-
vests generate many distressing diseases.
II the liver be at all predisposed to irreg-
ularit;es, this is the season in which bill
ious attacks may be anticipated. A weak
stomach, too, is weakest in the summer
months, and the loss of Vitality through
the pores by excessive perspirAtion is so
great, that a wholesome tonic, combin-
ing also the properties of aitfusive slim
ulant and gentle exhiarant, is in mary
cases necessary to health, and under no
circumstances should be dispensed with
by the sicky and deblitated. Or all the
preparations intended thus to refresh,
sustain, and fortiiy the human frame,
there is none that will compare with Hos
letters Celebrated Stomach Bitters. They
have been weighed in the balance Of eX-
perience and not found wanting have
been recommended from the first as
great medicinal specific, not as a bever-
age, and in spite of interested opposition
from innumerable quarters, stand, after a
twenty years trial, at the head of all pro-
prietary medicines intended for the pre-
vention and cure OF all ordinary com
plants OF the stomach, tie liver, the
bowels, and the nerves. In the uh-
healthy districts bordering the great riv-
ers of California, H1stetter's Stomach
Bitters may be cassed as the standard
one for every species Of inter mittent and
remittent fever. The people who inhabit
those districts, place the most implicit
confidence in the ffepsration-h conf
dence that is increased every year by the
results of its operation.
AS bitters, so called, of the most per-
nicious character, are springing up like
fungi on evdfy side, fhe public Is hereby
warned against the dram shop frauds.
Ask for H0stetter's Bitters, see that the
liable, etc, are correct, and remem Der
that the genuine article is never sold in
bulk> but in bottles only. July-7.
