TREATMENT OF CATARRH.

IF you would remove an evil, strike Gtits
root. This is the "common-sense," or ra-
tional way to treat Catarrh. AS the predis
posing or real cause of catarrh is, in the ma
jority of cases, some weakness, impurity or
otherwise faulty condition of the system,
which invites the disease, and needs only the
irritation produced in the nasal passages by
an attack of cold to kindle the fame and es-
tablish the loathsome malady, in attempting
the removal of that cause. The more
see of this odious disease, the more do rec
ognize the Importance and necessity of COM
bining, with the use of local soothing and
healing application, a thorough internal use
of blood-cleansing and Strengthening medi-
cine, if we would successfully treat the dis
ease.
As local application for healing the dis
eased condition in the head.

The President on the Houard Case.

DR.. sHouard, citizen of the United
States, was recently convicted by Gu
ban Court Martial and sentenced to eight
years in the chain gang. Application has
been made to the President to release him.
He has sent message to Congress as fol-
lows:
"The strong point which prevents the
Intervention of this government in behalf
of DR.. Houard from becoming efficacious
for his release is the fact that he has been
regularly tried and found guilty by duly
constituted tribunal, in the island OF
Cuba.
eff it were in the power of DR.: Houard
or his friends to put this department in
possession of facts that would impugn the
integrity of the proceedings Of that tribun-
al, or deny the competency to act in the
premises, such facts would be urged to the
best advantage, but none such are offered
with the exception ofthe er-pGrte declara-
ton of single untrustworthy witness,
who now declares that he gave testimony
against DR.. HOuard which was false"

OUR NEW DISTRICT ABROAD.
what the Nev.nanev. saw Of It.

What the Newspapers say Of 1t.
The Cincinnati Commercial has the fol-
lowing in reference to the Second Con-
gressional District
The finest example of gerrymandering
we remember to have noticed has been
performed by the Democratic Legislature
of Tennessee, to GUST the Hon. Horace
Maynard out of his strong hold in East
Tennessee. The Second Congressional Dis
trict, as carved out by the Legislature, ex-
tends from North Carolina to Kentucky,
and thence along the State line nearly to
Nashville. The district is two hundred
and fifty miles long, and includes sixteen
counties, and contains fifteen thousand
more population than the ratio fixed. This
extraordinary stretch of boundary lines is
due to an ambition to get Democratic
voters enough into the district to defeat
Maynard. AS but three of the counties are
traversed by railroads, the delegates to
conventions will have to perform a pill
grimage scarcely less Wearisome than that
of the palmerS of Olden times to the Holy
Land. 1t is considered, even by fair-mind-
ed Democrats, to be one of the grOssest
outTages ever perpetrated on the people (;
and it is without excuse, as Tennessee has
a sufficiently overwhelming Democratic
representation in Congress already.
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
The Tennessee Gathering Ram" bids
fair to go down to posterity with some
thing of the notoriety of the Massachu-
sets Gerrymander. The name is given to
| the Second Congressional District as re-
modelled by the present Legislature, for
| the purpose of defeating the reelection OF
| the Hon. Horace Maynard. 1t comprises
| sixteen counties, only three OF which have
railroads, and is two hundred and fifty
miles long The arrangement was made
| for the purpose of securing a large-fve
thousand-DemOcratic majority. AS pic
| tured in a map in the Knoxville CHRoNI-
| Gle, it looks not unlike the battering ram
of the ancients, and sets at defiance all the
laws of geographical and political propri-
| ETY..
The Times and Chronicle says:
The Tennessee body spent its final hours
in a gerrymandering redistricting Of the
State, by which the Hon. Horace Maynard
is cut off from all prospect of return tc
Congress. The geographical shape of the
district in which Mr.. Maynard is placed
by the new bill is said to be one of the
most fearfully and wonderfully made mon
strosities ever conceived by political ami
mostly. After its adoption the Legislature
didn't have vital force enough left to apply
itself to the careful consideration of reso
luton to censure the municipal authorize:
of Nashville for inefficiency in the recent
riots,

THE GOVERNOR ON THE WRONG TRACK,

The testimony upon which the Nash
vile mob killed David Jones did not pre-
tend to implicate any other person in the
murder of Murray. The mob is defended
by some on the ground that David Jones
certainly killed Murray. Now, if this is
so, why does Gov. Brown issue his pro-
clamation offering five hundred dollars re-
ward for the apprehension of the muir
derer? If Jones was the murderer it is
certainly folly to offer a reward, now that
he is dead If Gov. Brown wants to prove
his desire to suppress crime, let him offer a
re,Cdrd for the nlurdercrS Of Jones. Let
him find out the leaders of the mob and
punish them, for according to the defend
ers of that disgraceful organization, they
aIe the only murderers unpublished or
living.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS, the great color

of the colored people of Washington are

this wise: "Those who consider Protes-
tantism a religion exclusively for white

cy which is doing so much to drive them
into the embrace of the Catholic Church.
There they are sure of admittance on equal
terms. Efforts are made by the Catholic
priesthood to convince them that vel

Ole Church. They win their confidence
by practical proofs of anxiety for the well

a GOOD many rural Democratic papers,
not as familiar with political history as
they ought to be, published the recent
canard about the one hundred and sixty
million defalcation of Collector Bailey of
New York, as proof of Republican cor
ruption. Unfortunately for them, what
ever the default of Bailey proves to be, it
is to be credited to the administration of
Andrew Johnson. 1t turns out, however,
now, that the report is a canard, and we
Judge from our dispatches of this morning
that some one has been tampering with
the Grand Jury and imposing upon them
to a remarkable extent.

Sam johnson, of New Orleans, was
of great authority on the levy. and
one day he called his satellites togcth-
er and addressed them on the impor-
tamcc of adopting fiscal policy more
nearly resembling that which had
raised to oppulcnce their Caucasian
mcighbors. "Niggcrs,' said he, "if
you want to get rich, you must save
your money. You must have a bank.
OATS dc way de white folks does"
These words fell ON propitOus soil.
The project went into swift cxecu-
ton, and the earnings Of the week
were promptly forthcoming. Mig
gers says. Sam, "I'll be dc cashier,
YOU must post dc money with me,
and when you want any you must
draw onto it. OATS tic way dc white

while, and the dcpositors were
highly elated about dc bank But
by and by there began to be trouble
hot with the deposits, but the
drafts. 1t was found easier to get
funds into this modclinstitution than
to get them out again, and Sam was
compelled 10 face the angry customers
and explain. "lt's all right" said
he; de 'bank's only suspcnded,and in
few days will 'agian rcsLme;' dat's

pedicnt lasted but little while, how
ever, suspicious of foul play every
day increased, and the storm was
about to burst on the head of the
greater operator, when he found it
expedicnt 10 gather once more his in

No earthly love can fill.

Thy counsel, ever near;
Thy sympathy with every joy,
Thy grief for every tear;
Thy loving glance, thy tender tone,
Thy warm kiss on my brow
Gone from life, forever gone,-
