but he is an eminent jurst who by all his training
has warm Southern sympathes representing the
best ana most intelligent sentiment OF the Border
States and has the confidence OF the people
of oil sections, both as TO the clearness OF his
judgment and the purity OF his motive. Hav-

The NEW YORK HERALD is now publishing some
of the most able important and admirable articles

South consequent upon tue war that We have read

loss OF the cotton crop, sugar, rice and tobaccos

opinion upon the Louisiana difficulty, which is al

The matter is simply this: they don't
properly digest what they eat, their
livers are torpid. their nerves are weak,
their blood is impure. and their vital
