Deep Mourning.

learn from a newspaper that " a Kansas
widower was tarred and feathered the other
day because he didn't wear deep enough
mourning for bis departed spouse" This re-
minds me Of the contest that has been raging
in our village between Brown and Jones.
Both of them lost their wives on the
same day. and after the funerals Brown ap-
peared again in public with three inches Of
Grape on his high hat, while Jones only had
two. Jones was so much afraid people would
think he didn't mourn fur his wife as deeply
as Brown grieved for his, that be added four
inches Of Grape to his hat, whereupou Brown
apprehended that people would believe that
he thought more lightly Of his loss than Jones
did Of his, put eight inches Of Grape 90 his
hat. Then Jones determined not to be out
done as a mourner for the dear departed, put
on so much more Grape that it extended con-
siderably above the top Of the hat crown
Whereupon Brown became excited, and cut
ting the crown from an old hat, he dJvetaled
it on his new one aud swatbed it in Grape to
the summit. Jones was unwilling 10 display
envy. but the memory Of Mrs. jones was 50
sacred to him that lie enyeloped bis hat IN
pasteboard four feet high and wrapped il all
in the blackest Grape be could buy. But
Brown, feeling that bis love for Mrs. Brown
demanded energetic action, bought fifteen feet
of stoveppe, jammed it down over bis bat,
bandaged it with two hundred yards Of Grape
and once more appeared upon the street.
Then Jones sent 10 the city aud ordered hat
eighty feet high, craped six inches thick. II
was sent home from the freight Office on
dray, aad the next morning Brown knocked
off. married the widow Metcalf, and resumed
business in straw hat. Jones, is having bis
mourning hat cut up into lengths, and he
hoped 10 be able 10 filI all his bets with them
if his side lost in the electiOn.-NdE Adeler.

NATIONAL sANITARIUM.

The Claims Of Western North Carolina.
To the Editor Of The National Republican:
IISIR: As the subject of "National Sani-
tarium" is now eliciting no inconsiderable dis
cussion and interest in the medical world, as
well as among the large and unfortunate class
of persons for whose immediate benefit 1t has
been projected, have thought perhaps a few
suggestions from Western North Carolina
might be acceptable to your readers, more
especially as the claims of the western portion
of our State to be non-eons,fplptive region
are now being investigated, public attention
having recently been directed to these investi-
cations by the vital statistics of the last census
reports touching the relative mortality Of con-
sumption and its concomitants.
AS projected this movement contemplstes,
as we understand, the establishment of an in
stitution, national in its character and re-
sources, where irvalids-consumptiyes more
especially-can find home and hospital COM
bined, with such surroundings as will not only
cOnduce to their comfort, palliate their suffer-
ings. but will also arrest the ravages Of that
widespread, fearfully fatal disease, pulmonary
consumption, which at this day is resisting
the skill of the whole medical world, whether
they appeal to medicinal or hygienic remedies,
or both combined.
The object and purpose of this scheme are
every way commendsble, and it is hoped may
inaugurate new era in the successful and
curative treatment of this hitherto intractible,
persistent and constantly increasing disease.
The eyes of the medical world, 1t is believed,
are at last opened to the impOlicy of sending
eonsumptives to the tropics for relief or care.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-08
CONTRAST.

When rebellion reared its defiant head
threatening the destruction of the Union,
the State of Massachusetts sent to the front
her best and brsvest sons without stint or
measure, and their blood Redeemed every
battlefield of the war. Foremost among
those who responded to the call of his coun-
try was Gen. Benjamin F. Butler A man
profoundly versed in law, familiar with
the rules and art of war, he gave the best
efforts of his genius to save the Union
When peace came he lent his wonderful
abilities to the task of restoring the broken
relations of the two sections; his advice
and counsel was of Unreasonable service
in settling the complex and difficult prob
lens that arose. No word of scorn, no
expression of hate, no jeering taunt fell
from his lips regarding the defeated enc
mics of the Republic. His whole aim was
simply to secure the logical results of the
war and give protection to every citizen in
the land.
The State of Kentucky, unlike Massa-
chusetts, did not respond to the call. When
the life of the nation was imperiled she
sent thousands TO swell the armies of the
Confederacy, and their efforts did much to
prolong the war. Among those ShO
stepped into she rebel ranks was John
Young Brown, now member Of Congress.
This man, branded with treason, owing his
existence and position to the mercy Of
magnanimous country, rises in his place
and denounces the soldier fronn Masaacbu-
sets and couples his name with infamy.

EACH SUCCEEDING day brings US fresh
indications, and more convincing, that out
side of the city of New York the Republi-
can press of the country is unit in sup
port of the policy of the majority party in
Congress regarding Southern affairs. Now
that the new rule" has been fully and
truthfully explained, Republican editors,
as rule, sustain the change which it has
effected in the government of the House,
and express an almost unanimous desire
that quick, effective and complete work
shall be executed under it for the restora-
ton of peace and quiet and the preserva-
ton of the liberties of the people in the
Southern States. The idea that the propo-
sition for the suspension of the writ of
hd6eGs corpus, for the purpose Of procuring
the punishment of the White League assas-
sins, is opposed by the masses of the Re-
publican party, is simply preposterous. The
truth is that the loyal people Of the coun-
try are far in advance of their Representa-
tives in Congress on these questions, and
demand the most radical legislation to rem.
edy the existing evils in the South.

DANGEROUS SUGGESTIONS.
Frederick Douglass on the Situation,

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Every fibre of my soul revolts at any
effort, from whatever quarter, North or South,
white or colored, TO fan the flame of sectional
animosity, or to revive and keep alive feel
ing of sullen resentment for wrongs inflicted
under system which is now happily forever
abolished. The duty of the hour equally
binding upon all classes) is not to wound, but
to heal, not to study the science of offence, but
the bonds of peace. No sentiment, since the
resounding clash of arms in our country, has
been more consonent with every feeling of my
heart than that memorable sentiment of Presi-
dent Grants, "Let Us hare peace" It came as
the dove to the window after the food, the
rainbow after the storm. In these simple and
sincere words / saw with the millions of our
countrymen the salvation of my race and the
welfare and prosperity Of the nation. 1t is no
fault of President Grants that his aspiration
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-08

CERTAIN loyal and law-abiding % citl-
zens of North Carolina are now in the city
striving to obtain from Congress an appro-
priation of $780, 900 for the improvement
of the Cape Fear river. They have sue
ceeded heretofore for five years in obtain
ing a similar appropriation each year, and
we have no objection that their success
shall be repeated now; but we insist, before
Congress acts in the premises, an investi-
cation shall be had Of the manner in which
these same gentlemen have attempted to
gerrymander the city of Wilmington. So
far as we know this attempt is intended prac-
tically to disfranchise several hundred COL
ored Republican voters. In view of this fact,
it strikes US as little cheeky that the appeal
for this appropriation should be made to a
Republican Congress. In this case we are
inclined to believe that the men who would
dishonesty rob the poor black voters of
their rights would not hesitate to rob the
Government of its money. At any rate,
the matter should be looked into.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-08

EXTRAORDINARY statesmen Kentucky is
producing w-a-days. The antithesis is
very strong when we remember such in
tellects as Clay, Dick Menifee and Brock
cnridge. Parties have been built up by
great men after years of labor, but Mr..
John Brown Young, or Young John
Brown, or whatever may be the syllables
which compose the name of this remarka-
bic successor of Henry Clay destroyed in
a day party which had been piloted into
power by the genius and efforts of genuine
statesmen. Two weeks ago the Demo-
cratic party held the country in the palm
of its hand. To-day, through the blatant
utterances of Mr.. Mclean, Texas steer,
and Mr.. Young Brown John, the Republi-
can party has regained its full supremacy.
The North to-day presents an unbroken
front, as it did in 81, when they swept into
line and crushed out rebellion. One or two
more Young John Browns would re-elect
Grant President and send Gen. Butler back
to New Orleans to throttle yellow fever,
Thugs and treason.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-08

IT Is EXCEEDINGLY strange that many
well-informed people, including certain
journalists who should know better, speak
of the Civil Rights Bill as a law. 1t re-
quires the assent of the Senate and the ap-
proval of the President before it becomes
operative, and there is a slight probability
that it will not receive either, because it is
understood to be the policy of the Opposi-
ton in the Senate to talk it to death, -
although it is certain to receive Executive
approval when presented to the President
for that purpose.

THE LETTER we print this morning from
Frederick Douglass, explaining the mean
ing and intent of the address to Congress
recently issued 10y leading colored citizens,
will repay close perusal. Mr.. Douglass
speaks in plain words, and although his
explanation will certainly be denounced
by the Opposition press as an "incendiary
document, " we are of the opinion that it
will have the effect to place the true con-
dition of his race in the South before Con-
gress and the public in light which will
certainly result in remedial action. His ap-
peal to Faneuil Hall and Cooper Institute
should not 20 UNDECIDED
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-02-08

IT Is REASONABLE to expect that the
week beginning to-day will be remarked
by many important parliamentary struggles
in the House. The bill to regulate cleo
tions in the States of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana
and Florida, and the bill to empower
the President to suspend the writ Of habeGS
corpus in certain emergencies, will, no
doubt, be presented, and will be the
occasion OF excited debate. They should
be passed, however, without delay. The
suspension of the ha5eas corpus to secure
the punishment of the Ku-Klux murderers
was effective, and was not more necessary
than it is now to secure the punishment of
the White League assassins.
