The President ON Martial Law.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-The order OF
instructions sent to General Emory to-
day to govern his action in the future
toward the opponents to the Kellogg
government, and approving in the main
his conduct in the solution of the Louis
ianna troubles, which appears to have
been reached gives practically the finish
to the combat. III
In dealing with this, question the
President has been very positive in his
instructions to all civil and military Off
GERS having any powers in the premises
that they should avoid any act which
might be construed into recognition of
the hostile party, they assuming. to re-
present the legal government.
During the Cabinet discussions on the
subject, the necessity of declaring mar
tiaI law was fully considered, and was
strongly advocated by the majority if
not all the Cabinet Ministers, but such a
measure was opposed by the President,
who remarked If | were a civilian by
profession, / should probably be in ac-
cord with you. But as a military man |
oppose martial law, for l know its full
force. If there is any other honorable
way 10 solve this difficulty, it should be
adopted. When the last measure of
peace is exhausted, then is the time to
apply the machinery OF war;"

The Source of Many Hlls.-If all the all
ments, bodily and mental, which torment the
human family could be traced to their primary
sources, it would probably be found that three
fourths OF them originated in the failure of tho
stomach ana the other organs by which the food
ls converted into nutriment and applied to tho
purposes OF life, to perform the tasks allotted to
them by nature, vigorously and regularly. This
being the case the vast Importance of a medi-
cine which compels these organs to do their
whole duty, thoroughly and efficiently, becomes
at once apparent. H0stetter's Stomach Bitters
may be truly characterized rs a preparation OF
TINS Kind, indeed as the only one which can. be
implicitly relied on as combining the properties
OF a stomachic, and Alternative and an aperient
In such proportions as to produce simultaneous .
~ the desired effect upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and intestines. This conclusion il
warranted by the celebrity and certainty with
which the Bittcrs afford relief in chronic cases
OF dyspepsia, torpidity OF the liver and constipa-
ton. The false idea that these complaints and
others that grow ont of them, could be cured Nv
fierce cathartics, has at last, it is hoped. been
thoroughly exploded. The sick, during the last
hundred years have swallowed thousands OF
TONS OF mercury, scammony, gambogc, crOt0n
OIL, Jalap, etc, and tens of thousands of graves
ever since the principle of renovation, as EN-
oodled In H0stetter's Stomach Ritters, was az
rayed against the principle of prostration, As
represented hy mineral saliYants and furious
purSatives, the latter has steadily and surely
fallen into deserved contempt. The Uutcrv
against stimulation by which cOncOctors Of de-
plotting drenches hoped to give 6clat to their dis
gushing and dangerous compounds has only
served to increase the demand for the whole
some stimulant, tonic and Alternative which for
twenty-five years triumphcd over all opposition
and Is now the most popular medicine in the
Western hemisphere,

Local Historical RecQIlecttons,
From the New Orleans Times.

From the New Orleans Times.l
AS the two following communications
have a close affinity, both referring to
the election of 1872, we publish them in
order: -
WAS THE REPORT MADE KNOWN?
Fort LARSED, KANSAS, Sept. 10, 1874.
Mr.. Roundabout wish You would
oblige a subscriber Of your paper. AS q
friend and | had an argumentlas even
ing in regard to the election of 1879, he
%contending that there never was any re-
port of said election made known, and /
c0ntending that McEnery received some
where near 5000 majority.
Very respectfully, ETC.,
JNo. A. PAYNE, Lit. 10Th Infantry.
WERE THE VOTES FULLY CANVAssED?
Dear ROundabout-Will you please
inform me whether the vote of the cleo
ton of the State of Louisiana, of 1872,
was ever fully canYassed and the result
officially annOunced2 And, if so, what
was the result thereof? i, G, more par
ticularly in regard to the Governor;
which, McEnery or Kellogg, received the
majority, and the number? and oblige,
yours. INQUIRER.
There were two and conflicting Re-
turning Boards. The regular returns
1ul pL4C t4Oot paw 4SII lHGO buC uuluS OF
what was known as the Warmoth (Or
FusiOn) Board. Returns more or less
completes were also made by the United
States Supervisors, and such State Off
Gals as adhered11to the Kellogg party.
The Fusion Board Called in the report
of the Congressional Investigating Com
mittee the Forman BOard) returned 65,-
$40 votes for McEnery, and 55,973 votes
for Kellogg. The Republican or Lynch
Board returned 1880 votes for Kellogg,
and $4,000, for McEnery. Each party
charged the other with frauds, and so
the case was taken ND to Congress for
investigation and decision. The KEEL
logg party coming into possession of the
State administration, was recognized by
the President and other departments of
State as the government de facto, the
adverse, or MeEnery party, claiming to
be the government de jure. Finally,
the President determined to rid himself
of the responsibility of the Louisiana
case, sent a message to Congress to the
effect that unless Congress took some
definite action TO the contrary, he should
continue to recognize and uphold the de
facto government of the State. Con-
gress did nothing, and so the matter has
stood from that day to this.

Morton on Louisiana and the
South.
PRESS COMMENTS THEREON.
indianapolis journal, Republican,

indianapolis Journal, Republican,
Masonic Hall was early filled last night
with a dense throng of earnest and de-
termined men, in whose set features
could be easily read something of a feel
ing similar to that with which they
gathered to listen to the same man in
the days when the Southern rebels
struck their blow at the Union through
B~eauregard's attack on Sumter.
There was no mistaking the audience.
1t was a demonstration that meant sim
ply that the South could have Wal if it
wanted it, and that but little more of
their murderOus nonsense would be
tolerated without a protest that would
send the thugs and assassins covering
with guilty dread to the feetof the Gov
eminent they have so long and so out
ragcously insulted and defied.
Gov. Morton seemed to catch some
thing Of the electric spirit that knit the
immense audience together, and his
speech was one of the most intense and
indignant i'll tone, and at the same time
clear in statement and cOgent in argu-
ment.

Too Aaae.-The way men pitt Off important
matters to the last moment is one of the curious
things in nature. The fifth concert in aid Of the.
Public Library of Kentucky was advertised to
take place July 81. The day after, August l,
GOV. Bramlette, the manager, at Louisville, 70
ceived over $4,000 for tickets. Had the drawing
taken place at that time the Governor would
have had to send this money back, but as the
concert was postponed to November 80, 1t was
all right with them. We presume that on the
first day Of December next, the day after the
concert, thousands of dollars will be received,
one day too late, for there will be no further
postponement. This money might just as well
have been sent a week before. as when it was.

The OpelOusas JOURNAL had better
look a little more sharply into facts be-
fore it attempts to givethem concerning
the ward election. 1t states that L. T.
Lewis got "a votes, when he gota. This
looks more intentional than accidental.
There are other glaring errors we have
not time to correct. 1t is not true that
the White League ticket, as it calls it,
was in favor OF nominations. They had
expressed no opinion on this subject.
We will wager something that the jour
NAL got its information from such Demo-
Gratis as DIR. WA Robertson.
etfnd the above paragraph in the
Courier of last Saturday. We tried all
the first part Of the week to get the Off
cial returns Of the ward election, but
failed to- do 20. BY accident, we got
hold of some tally sheets, made by by
stander, Just before going topress. Two
lists had been kept, and we had tomake
the additions. In the hurry of the mo-
ment nee made the error in regard to Mr..
IT. Lewis; and no one else IL respon~
sible for it. The sheets furnished us
give him 81 votes, which however did
not elect him. Our paper was printed
in time for him tosmake his comments 1
ifhe had applied here we would have
given him a statement of correction to
psbliSlf.aBat, AZ his own party con-
Quoted the election, which took place
sepen days before the last publication Of
the 6itfier, and as he had access to the
official returns, we naturally examined
the columns Of that paper for Il correct
report of the election but no report of
it was to he found there at all. We
published q day in advance Of the Cour-
ier, and the report vas very short; but
tie half-a-dozen editors Of that paper
had no time to correct our glaring err
rors. With the seven days before them,
and the official returns at their disposal,
they had no time to publish a report of
one little ward election.

What are we of the South to think, af-
ter rising from the perusul of Senator
Morton's recent speech? ItisnOtan un-
authorized newspaper article written by
a fool in Il garnet. 1t is not the un-
thOughtcd explosion of an eloquent
blatherskite at a public meeting. 1t is
the emanation of u power, and, as such,
may be fairly described as semi official
edict of ~damnation. What dOesitmean ?
What does it imply? Why this: that
the Radical party can not stand the or
deal of peace that it can not submit it.
self to a trial of material issues; that it
requires the stimulation Of sectional pas
ton obtainable out of the disquietude at
the South, to keep it moving; in one
word, that it is War-party. Governor
Morton is a mar of real ability. He is
capable of understanding and applying
what are called principles. He makes
himself IL demagogue through necessity.
1t is the one chance of saving his party
in Indiana, of regaining the prestige he
lost last winter on the finances, and of
bringing himself once more to the front
abreast with the foremost.
