HYGIENE oFTuE SEWING MACHISE.
DIR. 4. X. Gardner, of New York. a
well known practitioner, who has made
female diseases especially, gives it as
his opinion, based upon many years
study of sewing machines Of all pat
terms, that the invention is the great
est boon of the nineteenth century,
especially to woman, and that without
any appreciable drawback. lie AYERS
that no injurious effects whatever are
caused by it beyond the exhaustion
which is felt from this as from every
oyerwork. Finding, he says, no proof
that physical disease originates from,
or is even aggravated by the use of the
sewing machine, | am forced to be-
lieyc that in the moderate use of the
muscles of the lower limbs the analogy
holds good in this as in every other
form of labor, that use strengthens
the organs; that, while the use of half
the body is not so conducive TO health
or to the equal development for the
entire body. as ii the whole frame
were exercised, it is certainly better
than no exercise at all, which falls to
the lot OF the confined hand sewer.

H0nOrs TO Mrs. StOnewali Jackson.

The handsomest thing Of the Cen.
tennial OCCASION was the honor paid
Mrs. S;onewall Jackson by the Ra.
leigh light artillery company and the
Raleigh light infantry, and by the
steam FIRE company of Newbern, and
the citizens band of the same place
The Raleigh companies both called al
the residence of Col. Jno. T. Brown
on North Trade street, where Mrs.
Jackson lives, and gave three cheers
for her. In response to these Miss
Julia, the only daughter oft immOr-
tai StOnewall, came out and presented
both companies with a bouquet, after
which, upon returning to camp, each
Of the companies fired u salute in hon.
or Of the widow Of the Christian hero.
The Newbern band aud FIRE company
called also, and gave three cheers for
Mrs. jackson. They. too, were pre-
scented with flowers by Miss Julil, after
which the frcmcn were received by

They spent few moments in the par
lor, looking at 4 large portrait of the
General, then silently departed, many
of them wiping away the fast falling

The richest specimen of inpudence
extant, is the declaration of the
Pennsylvania Radicals, that they want
men in office, who know dishonesty
when they see it. They have been eat
ing and sleeping with it for fifteen
years, or more, and it is queer HAT
they should be required at this
late day, to know it when they see it.
They need to be taught what honesty
is and be retired from public view un-
ii! that lesson is thoroughly learned.

SHERMAN AN8 HIS REvILERs.

Some of the ultra Radical sheets de-
nounce Gen. Sherman as traitor
and copperhead. and characterize as
infamous the just and patriotic terms
of surrender conceded to Gen. J Joseph
4. Johnston, without stopping to
enquire whether Grant is not equally
guilty. 1t is not strange that such
vigorous organs Of Radiealism can not
appreciate anything just or magnani-
nous in war or peace yet they should
remember that whatever may have
been Sherman's intentions. they sig
nally failed to reflect honor upon his
party or to alleviate the suffering of
the South. Thanks to Tennessee and
the little accident that befell Lin
coin, these extreme Radicals had a
President who hated the southern peo-
pie as cordially a. the worst of them,
who repudiated those honorable and
patriotic terms and inaugurated recon
struction as a means Of making
treason odious." The system thus in
augurated embodied all the cruelty
that hate could invent, all the wrongs
that corrupt tyranny could perpetrate
and all the insults that heartless COW
ardice could suggest, No wonderthen,
that such mean-spirited men should
denounce terms of surrender which,
If acted upon by the then President,
would effectually have defeated the
scheme of robbery and usurpation
over which the Radicals have glOated
and By which they have grown rich
and held on to power Reconstruction
has been u thousand fold more damag-
aging 10 the South than the active hos
tilities of the war, not only because il
sanctioned every species of wrong and
outrage, but because it furnished the
pretext for usurpation, kept alive the
passions Of the war, repressed every
honest effort of the South at regeher-
alton and peace. and prolonged indef
nitely that accused sectional hate upon
which Radiealism has grown power
full and UNANIMOUSLY corrupt.
We are neither the admirer nor
apologist OF Sherman, but honestly
believe that had johnson and Grant
possessed 1.-THE of his patriotism
and sense Of honor, the South would
have been spared the horrors of re-
construction; that republican liberty
would be dispensing its blessings TO a
people now cursed by the crimes OF
corrupt usurpatiOn, aud that fraternal
feeling would, ere now, have restored
a harmonious Union upon the basis Of
the constitution.

such a scheme could have been con-
summated without difficulty, but as APP

be passed by, the Lower House, the

FOR WHAT Must The LEGISLA-
TURE PANf a ~

Mr.. Russell of Wood has presented a res
olution in the Convention TO. enforce the
Legislature to appropriate moneys for only
the necessary expenditures Of government.
This proposition is beyond all doubt the safe
one, and underlies the idea towards which
the public mind, in all parts of the country,
is tending. It is that which belonged as a
rule to those days when governments were
pure and conducted upon just and econom-
ical principles. The immoral condition Of
Federal and state governments, keeping
pace with the depravities which have per-
meated society for quarter of.a century in
the United States, has been growing in in
tensIty, and this heaping upon the masses
OF burdens too heavy for endurance. has
called forth from the foundations of society
demand for reform. This demand Is one
Of paramount necessity, carrying With It the
preservation and future safety OF republican
institutions and affecting the very foundn-
ton of society. The tendency TO use pub
lie money for other purposes than those Of
government and the regulation Of society
has been the root Of much evil. It has been
sproIifc source Of corruption in high places
and within the hast quarter OF century has
built up and enriched an aristocraey which
now has possession Of the Fereral govern
ment and much ofthe State machinery. Non

IN November, '76, than was given Gov.
Coke IL is a senseleSs issue in all its as
pecls, consolidating banks, railways and
capitalists against the party we would in
rest with power. Il fact, the Congress ~
last must define the financial policy of the
government, and Presidents and Presidents
makers can have no agency in shaping the
conduct or fortunes of banks or in deter
mining whether we shall have, rs a cur
rency, bank notes or those of the govern
ment itself. The Congress, too, must de
termine rates of interest to be paid IN Fed
eral bonds, and yet party leaders have un-
dertaken to inject this question into party
platforms, and Radicalism, to this extent,
outgenerals those who would revive the
tariff question and that involving the
freedom and integrity of the several
States. We can have no full re-
port of the doings of the New
York State Democratic Convention for
a day or two but would gladly know that
the currency question has been pretermitted
and each Democrat left to think as he
chooses, since, just now, the party can have
nothing to do in determining the policy
that may be finally adopted by the Federal
Congress. '2
On the other hand this diversion of pop
ular attention from the South, which has
been used of recent years as the plaything
of parties and demagogues, strips the
bloody shirt of its horrors and pales its in
effectual fires. There Is room, therefore,
for self graduation in the coarse of partisan
events even while we fear that issues have
been made up hardly worthy of considera-
tion in contest involving the freedom of
States and restoration of interstate rela-
tions that subsisted before the deluge of
1S60-61. -
