Admits Its Commences.

Maj Hosford writes long letter to the
Geneseo Republic in explanation of the ex-
tract published in this paper, from the
Union Advocate, of 1862, concerning Gen,
Henderson. Maj. Hosford admits that it
can be found in an editorial article in his
paper at that time, He gives the date
Oct. "a. 1862, and says it was "a long ar
ticle, extending through half column,
headed, Mr.. Henderson and the Chicago
Times, but he says he didn't write it.
That's matter of no consequence. We
did not charge him or anybody else with
writing it, We did not care who wrote it,
nor did the public care. We said the tn
ion -1dr0cote spoke of Henderson, so and
SO, Maj. Hosford admits it. Is Hender-
son any better man now than he was then :?

The peculiarly system of registering vo
tiers established by Kellogg and his con
federates in Louisiana may be clearly un
derstood by reading the following extract
from the secret circular Of instructions is
sued by the State Supervisor to his subor-
dnates in the different parishes:
you are instructed to use your utmost
endeavors to cause a full registration of all
Republican voters in your parish, and tt
especially encourage and assist the regis
tration of white Republican electors. Fol
this purpose you will keep your office oper
at the Court House for as short period
as necessary, and then remove to the local
tiles most thickly populated by colored
voters, and give such otice in advance (of
course with the greatest caution) as will
facilitate their presence at the time OF
opening the books.
In the city of New Orleans there are TO-.
900 negro voters, and 1000 were register.
ed in fortnight after opening the registry
office, In the seventh ward more than
700 such voters were registered above the
whole number that the ward contains
One man had twenty seven different GER
tifcates of registration, thus enabling him
to cast twenty seven votes. This sort of
machinery, taken in connection with the
control OF the returning boards by whom
the votes are finally counted, makes the
business dead sure thing, and leaves the
people hopeless of any possibility of OBJ
tanning redress at the polls.

The letter of E. C. Billings to Gov. Kel
logg, the more important portion of which
has already been published in dispatches
from New Orleans, contains several othe,
interesting references to the way in which
political affairs are fixed" at Washington.
Among these are the following:
AS to the senate, Immediately upop ar.
irving had an interview with Morton and
the Attorney-General, and submitted to
them the alternative to examine Blanchard
or to go entirely on the decision of the su.
pIeme court Williams had no doubt
The examination of Blanchard might turn
out badly, and the investigation might be
protracted. Morton wished to feel of the
committee, They will not meet till Satur.
day, will not organize till Friday-so |
have written brief and have had it print.
cd, solely on the decision of the supreme
court, so as to be ready to submit the case
on that point alone, at first, if Morton
finds the temper of the committee will al
low. Then there carnot be any room for
long debate. There is an awkward circum.
stance-Carpenter, so West says, told him
that he stood where he did and should
stand there unless different case was
made out. West asked him if the deci
sion of the supreme court would not au-
thorize change, and Carpenter said no.
SO shall telegraph you tonight to tele-
graph on Friday to Carpenter as follows
The party is united on and the Republi
can interests require the immediate seat
ing of Pinehback.' propose to press on
Carpenter goes with us or against
US. 1t he goes against us it may take
more time.

THEY DO NOT COMPREHEND.

The Republican organ is now edited BY
two British born persons, whose ideas have
q monarchical sort Of bias, and they found.
er about under the impression that sthis
government, like that of the British, is q
sort of central monarchy, apaternal: sort Of
an institution under which Government
undertakes to manage everybody's bust
ness, and Gen, Henderson's announce
ment in that paper that he wasiin favor Of
"Me National Government building a
comprehensive freight railaoay from the
West to the atlantic, the charges to be
regulated BY cost Of operation" exhibits
him as favoring gigantic political monop-
Obey, by which thousands of politicians can
grow rich at the expense of the business
interests Of the country. A more enor-
mously iniquitous scheme could not be de-
vised
This morning the Union says
what the west needs is comprehen-
sive and well considered law. which shall
not only apply to one state, but all the
states, which shall not only govern local
freights but through freights, fixing a limit
beyond which railroad companies may not
charge. Congress alone is competent to
give us such law, under its power to reg
ulate inter state commerce.
This is solid chunk of wisdom. Does
the Union suppose that congress has any
power to Jfr the rates under which a coast
ing vessel plying between Kennebeck and
New Orleans shall do business, or remain
idle? Congress has no such power. Nor
has it any power to fix rates for railroads
operating under state authority. The
power to regulute commerce among the
states is power to control state legisla-
ton imposing restrictions upon commerce
among the states; a power authorizing
congress to prescribe uniform regulations
OF general nature, when necessary, to
secure facility and safety in its vehicles
not power to enterinto the intrinsical oper-
atoms and minute details of commerce and |
fix prices, rates, and hire of personal in
tercourse, transportation, labor, and prop.
erty,-for if congress can do one of these
things it do them all Such petty, inquls-
itorial meddling and tyranny would be ia
tai to that freedom which is essential alike
to the states and to the enterprise of a free
people,
Gen. Henderson, to quote the words of
the Union, looks forward to the time
when "the produce of the West and South
will be conveyed to the Atlantic seaboard
by the government at actual cost. ;"
When the government undertakes that
business there will no longer exist any
States, and the industry and business in
terests of the people will be at the mercy
and under the control of a political party.

scription for The Reupblic and solicit sub

eral Government are thus turned into can
vassers for Grants paper besides being
compelled to contribute to general fund

power. 1t is no matter how carefully
worded their secret circulars are, that is
their meaning, their practical effect. This
is only another link in the chain of general
corruption and decentralization. And the
labor of the country is compelled to bear
all the burden. Oppressive taxes, enor-
nous tariff duties, increased prices of fam
lily supplies, high salaries in order to pay
party expenses, business demoralized,
and everything made subservient to party
purposes, Will the people continue to suf:
fer from these evils ?-or will they kick
party to the dogs, rise superior to the
party whip, turn the corruptionists out of
Office and power and inaugurate cheaper
and honester management-one for the
benefit of the masses and not for the es-
pccial benefit of the favored few who ex-
pect to live upon the earnings of the many.

Thousands of testimonials have been received
showing that these POWDERS have performed
miracles in curing cases Of long standing, many o
them considered hopeless.
THERE is NO RISK IN TAKING THEM.
They contain nothing injurious, and, therefore
cause none of the lingering diseases SO often the
result OF the many nostrums OF the day. Physicians
recommended them rs superior to Quinine or any
other known remedy, for they leave the system In a
healthy state, and the patient beyond the PROBABLE
