A Christian is the highest style Of man.
He 10 a slave to no sect takes no pri-
vate road but look. through nature up to
natures God.n
The National Republican, speaking of
Mr.. Dow, says:
"His preaching was not sabbath voca-
ton, his praying not a pulpit or church
ceremony, but to "pray without c6asing"
was his habit and teaching, and to preach
whenever and wherever people could be
found to listen was his sacred calling.
Acting thus upon his plain liberal cOncep-
tions Of Bible teaching, it was his custom
to enter any open door and engage with
the household in prayer, to advise religi-
ously with lettering crowds At street cor
ners and in places of vicious rendezvous
On the outskirts of the town, in the woods
and on the river banks he ever sought au-
ditors for the message Of salvation, and
suffered himself to be as naught among
men for the exce!lency Of the unadulterated
religion Of Christ"
In looking over the calenders Of the Com
mittees on Claims and War Claims, and
visiting the Court of Claims and the South
ern Claims Commission, one would suppose
there had been but very few real rebels in
the South during the late war of the rebel
lion. Thousands upon thousands are the
claims fled against the Government for
loases of property, &C., and property taken
and used by our Army, and, wonderful to
relate, all by parties who spear they were
truly loyal (?) and 'never gave aid and
comfort to the enemy" II the stories given
by these parties are true. the query is where
did JEFF Davis and General Lee find the
Joltnie, to fight US for four years ? Surely,
they were not imported Hessians, bought
for gold, like those furnished to England
in the days of the Revolution. These fel-

SHALL NATURE BE SUBSTANTIALLY
give debilitatlng medicines to the
weak IL about as sensible as it would
be to try to help man to his feet by
kicking him when he was down. That
sort of pructico is going out Of fashion.
1t has filled SO many grave.yards, that
people no longer believe in it. II those
who are not strong by nature expect
to avoid the attacks Of disease, they
must endeaSor to acquire the vigor
necessary to resist it. How is this to
be done? Common sense suggests by
the use Of invigoratipg medicine. The
great object is to strengthen the sys.
tenn, without exciting it. This object
is accomplished by the judicious usc
OF the most potent and genial of all
vegetable tonics and alternatives, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Many valu-
able properties are combined in this
preparation. It improves the appetite
and renders digestion easy and perfect.
It gives steadiness to the nerves, in
duces healthy, natural flow of bile;
prevents constipation without unduly
purging the bowels; gently stimulates
the circulation; and by promoting q
vigorous condition OF the physical sys-
tenn. promotes, also, that oheerfulness
which is the truest indication of a
+! well-balanced condition OF all the ami
NAL powers.
Summer leaves both the body and
the mind more or less exhausted. Now
is the time to recruit them, and thus
forestall the malarious fevers and other
complaints which PROSTATE 40 many
thousands overy fall. By quickening
the superficial circulation, without
creating anything approaching to fe-
YER, the Bitters impart tone to the
ekin, and thus renders the aurfaoe of
the body comparatively impervious to
unhealthy external influences.

The Policy OF ConclIlatioa.

Mr.. Tilden, in his speech ut the
Manhattan Club Democratic gloriica-
ton, avoided the usual gust and ex-
ultntion of shallow mon. He considers
that only the sk;ra;sh line has been
carried, and that present successes
have to be carefully boarded and ex-
tended before we can celebrate the
triumphs which will insure possession
and coutrol of the National Govern
ment. Instead. therefore, of indulg-
ing in cfIervescence Of feeling, his
mind goes forward to consider the best
means of securing aud holding power;
and in the present chooses to empha-
size the responsibilities which the
measure of SUCCESS already gained
bring with it. In the midst of rejoic
ing, he sounds the notes OF duty, pru-
dencc and iirmness. lie pointed out
and set in clear light the obligations

there may be, and which travelled be-
yond it's party metes and bounds to

The Proper Uso or tho Government
Military Forccs.

| Military Forccs.
General Sherman has made his an.
nual report to the Secretary OF War,
and it has been published. He elbows
the disposition OF troops on the
frontier. and regards it as made COM
paratively safe through the activity of
the troops and the good sense of the
military commanders. The Indians
are to be taught lesson which will
bring them within The sphere of hn-
manization if not civilization. Iu the
military division Of the Pacific, com-
posed of the departments Of Califor-
iiia, Columbia and Arizona; the utmost
harmony of action and economy OF
administration prevail. Speaking Of
the military division Of the South, he
states that the thirteenth infantry has
been ordered to New Orleans, aud six
companies OF the seventh cavalry have
also been ordered from Dokotah ar,l
ordered to the South. He thinks
these troops, together with what were
previously on duty, are amply nde.
quate to the necessity that may arise
General Sherman does not distinctly
say in this report that ha condemns
tho use to which troops have been
applied in the Southern States. but lie
points out tho inadequacy of tho num-
ber of enlisted men which will be- re-
duoed by Januaay to about $4,000, if
this peculiar and Objectionable service
should continue to be imposed upon
them. He evidently regards the eff
cheney of the peace establishment Us
much curtailed by this means. In the
dispatches of yesterday morning, it is
stated that he thinks the troops which
are supporting the satrapy in Loui-
siana could fnd better employ ment in
driving back the Indians on the
frontier. If General Sherman has
used this language, it may be accepted
as the army protest against the jgno-
BILE and wicked administration policy
of turning the forces of the Govern
ment against the people, and seeking to
suhjugate States in the interest OF fac
ton, party and base corruption. We
earnestly long for the day when this
tyranny and misrule shall come to ar
| end; when the Government shall rise
to higher conception of its duty than
has prevailed for several years; when
force and domination by the military
arm over the liberties of the people
shall be only hideous memory and
an exploded doctrine not any more to
be revived.

THE ALABAMA SENATORIAL CON
From the New York Tribune.

IEOm the new 1OIk lElDunc.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1874.-Mr.
Spencer is not so firmly settled in his
Senatorial seat as to look with indiffer-
ence upon the investigation which the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
purpose making. The counsel for Mr..
Sykes, Gen. Morgan, of Alabama, read
to the Committee to-day a brief of his
case, basing Mr.. Sykes's claims for ad-
mission on the ground that the State
House Legislature, so called, which
elected Mr.. Sykes, was the legal Legis-
lature. He named also a number of
witnesses whom he desired to call to
prove hat a quorum of the body was
legally elected. He did not refer to
Nh. Spencer's conduct during the cleo
ton, or to any of the circumstances
attending it. After he had concluded,
Mr.. Spencer and counsel, VIM. E.
Chandler, asserted that they could
prove that Gov. Lindsay and
prominent Democratic members of
the State House Legislature
proposed to him that if he would break
up the Courthouse body they would
elect him to the Senate. Gen. Morgan
replied that he had not proposed to
prosecute the claims of his client, Mr..
Sykes, by evidence of any kind in re-
gard to corruption In the elections.
Nj. Sykes claimed that he was chosen
by the legal Legislature, and there
fore entitled to the seat. To prove Mr..
Spencer guilty of fraud would not help
Nh. Sykes case, as both were not
chosen by the same body; but if Mr..
Spencer wished to 90 into those ques-
tiOns he was willing to do so, and could
name the reputable witnesses who
would prove that MIR. Spencer went to
Democratic membersof the State House
Legislature and offered to break up the
other body, by bringing over negroes
whom he controlled, provided they
would elect him. This they refused to
DO. 1t is reported that there is much
documentary evidence in existence that
would damage Mr.. Spencer greatly,
should it be printed. The committee
postponed the matter until Monday,
Feb. 9.
