Men will become intoxicated, and
therefore, they will prohibit all trade
in liquors that intoxicate, and will regu-
late the tastes and habits Of all men by
the iron rule of Puritanic creed.
This is the Republican programme
as proclaimed by its accredited Con
vention; contrast with il the Demo
cratic faith A sound currency, whose
value shall be regulated neither by the
whims Of Congressman nor the greed
of bankers, but by the necessities OF
business. Green5dcls, rhich cost Ht
people nothing, instead Of bank notes, ,chich
cost sir per cent. Justice to all indus
tries and unequal advantages to none
Tariff for revenue alone, and special
burden upon none. Cheap Transports
ton, light taxation and lands for actual
settlers. Equality ofall citizens before
the law, and absolute protection in the
enjoyment of all civil and political
rights Equal and exact justice to all
men, and speedy and condign punish
ment, according to law, of all who
break the law. This is our confession
of faith. To this as party we arr
pledged. II is broad enough for hon
est men anywhere. tits large enough
for Democrats everywhere, Next tc
our love of truth is our love Of tn,
whole country. Scctionalism is moi
patriotic. Scctionalism is not states
manship; and the Democratic party
seeks to lift every question of Nationa
policy above the narrow and selfish
limits of sect or section TO the loftiel
plane of National application and pat
riotic bcneficcnce. II is grand OLD
party. For fifty years Of almost unin
tcr1-upted power II met with courag,
and solved with wisdom and consis
tcncy every question Of National poll
tics and now, wiserstillby experience
purified by adversely, renewed II
strength, II comes forth again with I
tirer courage, n frrner patriotism, |
lofticr hope, to vindcate the integrity
of its principles, and assert its title t
power in the Government.

we refuse to break the contract. We
obey the law, for when We shall attain
power we intend to enforce the law.
BY reducing the currency, by pass
ing this law of 1869, by funding the

grass and weeds and strip the branches
Of their falling leaves, and nip all grow.
ing life November hardens the cold
ground and locks the flowing streams
in its frozen embrace. Fruits and
flowers die, and earth and water, wood
and metals---all Naturc--shrink and
dwarf, until fierce December enwraps
them in its snowy shroud, and stays
them in death-like inertness. Do l
ovcrdraw the pictureY Look about
you, and in the light Of the facts see
how dim is my coloring.
Specie payments, and when they
are attained, and not until then, free
banking SO says the Republican
platform. Gentlemen, do you fully
understand that provision? ! have
shown what contraction is. lmmodi-
ate resumption of specie payments will
produce the same results. Every debt
will be increased ten per cent. Every
salary paid by your government will
be increased ten per cent Every dol
lar of accumulated capital, every fixed
income, will be increased ten per cent.
Every article you have to scll---the
crops on your land, the cattle in your
pastures, the stock in your stores, the
machines in your manufactorics-will
be diminished in price ten pcr cent,
WHAT THE REPUBLICANS WILL DO.
The Republicans say they will force
this result, and then they will have
free banking. They will stop business,
paralyzc enterprise. ruin the debtor,
keep idle the laborer, in order to reach
specie payments, and then they will
establish free banking in order that
the banks and bankers may expand
the currency at their pleasure.
If an expansion of the currency Is
necessary, why first reduce the eur
rency2 will tell you why. In order
that capital may be benefited by the
contraction, and that banking capital
may be benefited by the expansion (;
that money may be made more valu-
able by the contraction, and that the
money thus enhanced may ut once
draw interest on the bonds deposited
and profits on the circulation.

Funeral of A. w. Merriam.

One of the saddest occurrences this sea-
son, made doubly sad following SO close
after the events Of Mardi Gras, was the
funeral Of the lamented Merriam. Many
who yesterday followed him to the grave
were with him in last Tuesdays festivities.
joyous with the duties OF mimicry. At four
o'clock last evening citizens with sorrowtul
expressions gathered at the residence, No.
5s2 st. Charles street, TO pay the last tri
butte. Members Of Louisiana Lodge No
lC2 F. and A. NJ. with -egalia, attended.
Many members of the Mechanics and Agri.
cultural Fair Association assembled. and
quite number of the members of the Or.
leans Dramatic Association, Of which de.
ceased was an honorary member. were
there. The largest part of the cortege was
composed of citizens who attended as indi.
viduals. There were about hundred.
carriages, all full, and scores Of mourners
on foot. The funeral passed down St.
Charles street to Canal, up Carondelet
street to the Girod street cemetery, thus
passing by several prominent places which
recently knew deceased 20 we'll. As the
funeral passed slowly many sad eyes spoke
silent farewell. business for the time was
ignored. and when men turned to each
other they talked kindly of the kind heart
which has ceased to beat.

Medical.

We have received two neatly printed
pamphlets entitled. respectively: ''Notes OF
Electro-Surgery" and "Apoplexy not di.
sease." They are the work Of Edmond A
Murphy. NJ. D.. of New Orleans.
DR.. Murphy is introduced to the scientific
world and reading public by DR.. w. H
Hoicombe. Of our olty. who speaks of the
writer in most enthusiastic terms, as one
'who is distined with proper encourage,
ment to be the Helmuth, Franklin OF Beebe

DR.. Holcombe says:
Our great need here has been for yearf
a homeopathic surgeon. think We have
found one who will do rs credit. H 9 has
been practlcing almost exclusively among
the old Creole population, and his worth
has but recently been made apparent to the
American element. He is also mo st ex.
cellent homeopathic physician.
The essay on apoplexy is an elaborate
historical and scientific treatise. in which
the author vaults nimbly GU: of the broken
path of ancient theories to call individual
examples and modern instances, out of
which to form new opinions. The notes on
electro surgery are examples from the per.
sonal experiences of the talented author.

James Il. Steedman.

Speaking Of the election Of General James
y. Steedman to the Ohio Constitutional
Convention as successor of Chief Justice
Waite. the Toledo correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
Steedman is man Of strong personal
qualities in that line which influences,
manages. and takes hold on the sym
pathies of the mass of men, while he
has wasted his opportunities as prod.
igally as his opponent in this election
has husbanded his frugally. Steednan 8
history is strange one. He set out in life
as canal contractor. in which business his
natural qualities for controlling men came
into fall play. He became managing
Democratic politician in a new and rough
country. He was member Of the board
of public works. and with E. S. Hamlin let
the famous canal contracts. which were
subsequently Sc, aside. This letting was
in some of its features piece of very strong
practice. Afterward he was congressional
printer. at time when this contract fur
nished a very great profit. He enlisted in
the civil war as Colonel Of the Fourteenth
Ohio. and was promoted to be Major Gen
eral, and served with especial distinction at
Chickamauga. After the war he was Col
lector at New Orleans under Andrew Jack
son. During all thIs very large amount
of money has come into his hands in va
rious ways, and has slipped from them as
easily as it came.

NEW YORK, February l9.-The bodies of

from time to time during the progress of
the autopsy were at hand, and, together

The bodies were also very frequently used
by DR.. Pancoast for the purpose of explain.
ing passages Of the report. The most in.
tense interest was displayed during the re-
marks Of the demonstrator explanatory Of
certain physiological peculiarities in the
respective bodies.
Prominent among those pecularities was
what DR.. Pancoast called the fatty cord,
which extended from the mucous mem.
brane of the stomach, to which it adhered
in the direction of. but not quite into the

There were pecuiiarites Of the blical and
