DONALDSONVLIE IA, SATURDAY,

another, year after year, shows de-
feet in existing legislation, and the
necessity Ofp tribunal clothed With
power to visit punishment upon often
ders that can not and win not be in
f]icted in the State courts. The pres
ence Of troops in many instances has
had restraining influence upon the
lnurderous disposition Of Southern
Democrats, but Of late it is only a
cause Of irritation and the awakening
OF q retributi0n that gluts itself when
the troops are Withdrawn, with Il full
knowledge on the part Of the assassin
that the authority that furnished tenn
pOrary protection to his victim can
not punish him for his assassination.
Though every feeling of humanity
prompts us to deDouEce our political
opponents, we forbear to retsliate
upon them in kind the abuse heaped
upon us. We tell the stol y Of Southern
Democratic prejudices, malignancy,
and crime, and challenge refatatioD.
We lay before the country unmistak-
able evidences that men in untold
numbers have been aud are being
daily sacrificed for adherence to that
political faith which the patriotism of
the nation vindicated at the cost Of
three hundred tlonsand lives and
three thousand millions of treasure,
and we leave it to the sublime sense
Of right and justice that claracterizes
The American people to judge us
Alright, and afford to us upon our own
soil that protection that is 70 readily
accorded to the persons of their fel-
ow-citizens in foreign lauds.

weak carbolic acid lotions. II is stated
that no difficulty was experienced In the
operation, and the condition OF the pa
