token as was given TO Gen. Mcl lellan, who,
when he came to live among us, was

The Boston Post has turned 6ercely
against the Possum policy, and is denouuc-
ing it with degree of vigor and ability
seldom brought to the discussion of political
topics. In recent issue it says: "But
what makes the proposition at once as Of
fensive as it is impracticable, is that its very
basis consists of the assumption that the
Democrats are too corrupt to name any
candidate for the support of reform Repub
lcans-alhet the latter adopt the princi
Piles and solicit the support of those whom
thu y practically stigmatze before the coun-
try Not only is there nothing like equal
ity and mutual respect in plan of such
sort, but it is an imputation too gross to be
tolerated iu the form in which it is sought
to be made Finally, passivism is in truth
staggering blow dealt at political integri-
ty and virtue; it would be shameless ad
vertisement that thereafter no principles
were worth maintaining with steadfast
singleness of mind and purpose, after it
could be shown that their cowardly aban-
donment promised even the illusion of a
present advantage"

CURE OF FLATULENcY.-A writer in
the + nglish Mechanic, in treating the not
unimportant subject of fatuleDcy, says that
Of this there are two nds. In health the
stomach and intestines always contain a
moderate quantity of gas that is nearly
pure nitrogen. This appears to be secreted
BY mucous membrane of the stomach and
iutestines, and, in excessive amount. is one
of the most troublesome kinds of hatulence
The other kind arises from fermentation OF
putrefactive changes of the food, and con-
tains carbonic acid, and and sometimes
sulphreted hydrogen, as well as nitrogen
Both these forms of fatulence are best
treated by using pure vegetable charcoal
finely powdered taken in the first case
with each meal, and in the second as soon
as the symptoms appear, The dose may
be teaspooDful. and its use should be
continued for some time. This will usual
correct constipation as well as loosness Of
the bowels, besides relieving the disease
itself.

Tennessee. on the goth of January last
Immediately previous to his death he re-

his title as General might be added
"but," continued the dying man. with q
look his listeners could not misunderstood
"no word of reproach to the Cover meu'

he had fought for delusion, and that the

the Lake is said to be 147 1000 gallons a

The SALE OF ARMS TO The FRENCH.

HE SALE OF ARMS TO The FRENCH
The Anti-Grant Republican Senators have
not advanced their cause by the persistency
and ability with which they have urged
the charge of selling arms to the French
during the late frussian War. Even
Carl Schurz who is not inclined to failures
has failed to make out case, although bis
speeches on the question have been very
Calling to thu Administration. 1t is mani
festly impo- sible for government having
arms t., sell to guard against the pcs
sible acts of purchasers. Its market
would be limited If it should sell under
such condition as would hold purchasers
responsible if the arms should ever be
sold to this or that government. 1t has
not been shown that our government sold
arms to French agepts-simpIy that it sold
arus without stopping to inquire what
purchasers intended to do with them. If
it could not sell under such conditions the
next best thing it could do would be to
burn its surplus arms, as there would
never be Glarket for them except in the
event OF war between nations TO one or
both of which we should occupy the same
relations we did to France and Prussia
Besides, this theory of holding governments
to such strict responsibility is a mischievi
GUS one, and if carried out would result in
an endless succession of international dis
putes. A state of war between two nations
creates demand Tor certain articles at an
advanced price The citizens of all ma
tions compete for this trade subject 10 the
laws OF war as recognized by civilized
nations If one government lends its flags
to protect articles contraband of war it can
justly be held responsible. but it cannot
certainly answer for all its citizens or sub
jects who nigh. choose to venture upon a
profitable, though hazardous speculation.
The attempt Of Senators Sumner, Trumbull
and Schurz to bring discredit upon the

according to published laws, suggests
