Tho Battle Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lee
tuTe by Mai. Gen. d. o. Howard.

Tho Battle Of Getty sburR-InterestinAL Lee
ture by Nal. Gen. o. 0. Howard.
The second lecture Of tho very popular
course recently inauguratcd In this village
was delivered on Thursday night by Gen. o,
o. Howard. A large, enthusiastic and intelli.
gent audience welcomed the brave general
and Christian soldier, every seat In the room
being occupied, while number had to stand
during the entire lecture. Upon being intro
duced, the lecturer was received with hearty
applause. After some very necessary intro
ductory remarks, he drew an outline Of the
battlefield of Gettysburg upon the black
board, showing, also, the surrounding towns
and the leading roads which centre at this
town from almost every direction, which
makes 1t, as II Is sometimes called, the hub OF
the wheel. After locating the large armies
on the field upon which the great struggle be-
gan, he grasped the whole scene with much
enthusiasm, and portrayed the movements Of
the contending forces with such rapidity and
case that one felt much as the events were
actually transpiring. lie passed In review
the movements Of each day, the gains and
losses, and the position Of both armies when
the booming cannons gave the signal for the
deadly work Of each following day.
He related many interesting and touching
Incidents of heroism, self-sacTiflce and devo-
ton to others which he witnessed during
these three days of such fearful sacrifice OF
..uman life. He closed by enumerating many
Of the rich fruits of the war, and the results
obtained for human freedom, which were now
Incorporated into the Constitution, laws and
institutions OF our redeemed republic. It
would be impossible for me, had the time
or space, to give any Just idea Of tho intense
interest elected by Gen. Howard, who graspcd
the subject before him In such familiar and
mastery manner.
At the close Of his lecture, Mr.. Emery, who
participated In the battle, and whose brother
fell ut his post on the same field, made q few
very interesting remarks, paid high com
pliment to the lecturer, and moved that a
vote of thanks be rendered him for his inter-
csting entertainment, which was unani-
mously adopted.

Proposal to Aid Them During the Winter.
Now that the winter Is SO near upon us II Is
but proper that some measures should be
taken to aid in relieving the large number Of
poor people whom the financial embarrass-
ment. This District Is peculiarly unfortunate
In having so many who need aid, but tho de-
mands Of charity cannot be overlooked, and
II they could, the residents of Washington
would not think of sullying their charitable
record by so doing. 1t Is suggested that
meeting Of citizens for the organization Of 70.
lief associations be held at an early day, and
some concerted action 10 the premises agreed
upon. Mr.. Albert Gleason, esq, the we'll
known contractor, authorizes the statement
that as soon as the association Is organized
he will contribute o., 900. This Is good be-
ginning, and should stimulate others who are
wealthy TO do likewise.

\ SPECIAL DISPATCH from Jackson, Mis-
sissippi, which We print this morning, dispels
every doubt regarding the election contest In
Mississippi, and confirms the prediction Of
the REPUBLICAN, that the Boilers who, uu-
der the lead Of Senator Alcorn and Governor
Powers, have attempted to prevent the pco-
pie from accomplishing their desire to change
the administration Of the State havc4guo-
miniously failed. The true Republican men,
bcrs Of the Senate were sufficiently strong to
effect rcjcction OF the bill to postpone the
election, and Ii will consequently take place.
Our advlccs arc to the effect that Gen. Amcs,
the regular Republican candidate, will be
elected by $1,000 majority.

To the Editor " The National Republican:
SIR: write to tell you, Mr.. Editor that
am sick at heart when / see how much the
Republican leader, R. w. Hughes Is scduc-
ing the good Conservatives from their sec
tional and raco-hating motives, and frittcring
away their desire for the next war. Why,
sir, he is travelling all over the State trying
TO reconcile the people to friendly relations
with the National Government, trying to get
folks TO regard each other with more beneyo-
lent sentiments; trying to make the ignorant
believe that their children should be odu-
Gated, and advocating and devislng plans for
the creation of material prosperity in the
State, so that the Woodworking and ruined
citizens may have more money to pay their
debts with, more money to repair their old
houses and buy clothes for themselves, their
wives aud children; more money to buy
food with; more money to enjoy and put at
interest; as II old houses, old clothes, poor
fare, ignorance, poverty, prejudice and III
will werenot great blessings to free Ameri-
can citizens.
1t would do you good, Mr.. Editor, II you
were Conservative, to see our captain and
his stumpers standing up before the people
and crying with loud voices, and snmmonlng
up the ghosts OF oil the buried Africans OF
two hundred years, and exhibiting them as

This terrible disease has almost
assumed tho toru O an epidemic,
and is exciting considerable alarm.
Its nilsson is so swift, SO unlocked
for, that it strikes almost without
warning, and battles even the most
powerful treatment when its hold
is firmly established on its victim-
The very nature Of the disease
throws one off his guard, not only
from the suddenness with which il
manitests itself but from its striking
here and there, instead of taking an
appointed path and blasting as it
goes. 1t seems to make no distinc-
ton between those who have been
reckless of health and those whose
habits are almost akin to ascctism.
1t soem8 to mock all precautions.
and the most careful and uuexposeG
may he the first victims. The
powerful and prompt treatment il
requires shows the necessity o.
sending, at the first suspicion of it,
symptoms, for a physician. We
know Of nopreeautio,s absolutely
preventive of an attack. Some o
our physicians recommend a dos'
OF quinine each morning until thu
disease has abandoned the locality
where it prevails. This with thu
usual carefulness in keeping thu
temperature Of the body oyenly dis
tribu,cd, and a cheerful outlook
will be as likely to exempt ON
from the lightning,liko attack a
anything else.

What Credit MObilieI" Means.

A correspondent asks the mean
ing of the words "Credit M0bilier.'
Several congressman have asked
the same question: We presume
he wishes to be informed concern
ing the original derivation and use
of the tern. We will endeayor to
explain. The "Credit Foncier" has
long been the genera title in France
for associations Tat advance money
on landed or lmm0uable securities.
The "Credit Mobiijer" was the
namc given to a powerful corpora.
ton, organized in Frrnce in 1882,
for advancing m"noy on m0ra6le
property. The name was adopted
eyidedtIy with the object of the as
sociation. The "Societo Generate
de Credit N0biIior" became a great
and profitable enterprise. 1t had
special privileges under its charter.
1t assisted materially in the con.
struction railways and the promo.
ton Of mining schemes. Among
other enterprises in which it ga,
notably interested were the Govern
ment IoXn on account of the Russian
war, the Grand Csutrai Railway
Company, and the General Omni
bus Company Of Paris. At one
time, it advanced 100000 francs
and at another time 100000 o.
