POLITICAL HYPOCHONDR1Acs.

1t has been the policy Of the Southern
Conservatiye-Democratic White League
press for years past to represent to the
world that ''this people" are 'sdown.
trodden." injured. deprived Of their POI
ltical rights. oyertaxed and despoiled by
irresponsible intruders supported by the
power of the United States government.
This has been SO continually harped upon
That at last many have come to believe it,
a phenomenon quite in accordance with
the we'll known principles of human ma
ture. We are all familiar with the we'll
attested statement Of men being driven
by the force of Imagination to believe that
they were afflicted with certain diseases,
simply by a conspiracy among devotees of
science to persuade them OF the fact. In
fact. men have even been driven into
the arms Of death BY purely imaginary
ills. Almost any physician will admit
that men with lively imasinations may be
given the yellow fever by simply putting
them to bed and subiecting them to the
usual treatment for that disease. It is
the same with other ills. Talk to
man in pathetic and sympathetic
tones Of his affections and the wrongs he
has suffered at the hands of others, and
Immediately his heart bleeds afresh in
self-compassion. So it is with "this
people" There exists necessity Oh the
part of various Democratic doctors of
the body polite to obtain employment.
They can cure the State of all its ills; but
they must first persuade enough Of people
that a physician is necessary. People
in health have no need Of physicians. but
only the sick. These doctors, however.
are quacks. They have only one specific
At their command, and therefore must
persuade their dupes to believe them
selves afflicted with the i'll they profess to
cure. Il
There was once quack possessed Of |
IN infallible cure for fits. When applied |
o for relief in any other ailment. he found
t necessary to first drive the patient into
tit. and then he cured that and the origi.
,al complaint together. So it is with the
political quacks who, for their own profit,
'lay upon the credulity of this afflicted
community. They persuade all who will
listen to them that an epidemic of wrong
prevails here. and that each one is SUI

ferer by it. They throw men into fits in
order to be intrusted with the cure.
The only real cure, however, is &c
awaken them to the fact that they are not
sick at all; and this is to be done by di-
recting their attention from their fanciful
ailments to something outside Of them.
selves-some work to be done.
What this community wants is to cease
groaning over their imaginary political
ills. and go to work. That the pecuniary
depression under which they labor is only
fanciful was evidenced by the spirit Of
liveliness manifested Immediately after
the recent election when they had been
misled as to its results. Thinking that
the State had gone Democratic, hundreds
of chronic grumblers frightened up,
Strengthened themselves, put their hands
into their pockets and gave their wives
and children long longed fo- luxuries. If
the victory had been as they thought their
exhileration might have carried them to
the length of paying their taxes.
Could they have remained in this de-
fusion, the facts being, as they are. that
the State has gone slightly Republican in
stead of largely Dem ocratic, they would
have gone cheerfully to work, and, like
the worthy deacon who slept during the
sermon because he knew the preacher
was orthodox, they would have been per-
fectly satisfied, and not trouble themselves
at all about the government But this
could not be. 1t is not for the interest of
the political quacks bove alluded to
that business should be peacefully pur-
sued. but that strife, disorder. idleness,
opposition to the administration and all
'ther political ills should prevail. So
this people" are still kept in the painful |
Of political hypochondriacs.

On Friday evening Rev. J. c. Hartzell.
presiding elder of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, entertained at his residence Bishop
r. S. Foster and large number of friends
for the double purpose Of giving his guests
an opportunity of making the acquaintance
of the Bishop and for the christening Of a
little daughter. The child was chistened
by Bishop Foster, and now bears the name
Jennie Coulon Hartzel]. The occasion was
a most enjoyable one for all present, and
few hours passed most pleasantly in con.
versation, music, and the discussing OF
coffee and few eatsbles prepared by the
happy father and mother Of the little
stranger.

WHAT IT MEANS.

The Bulletin has read the report of the
Proceedings Of the senatorial caucus in
Washington, and thinks ut means war. ''
1t certainly does not mean surrender. But
/ we have little fear Of war. We think it
means peace. even if the American people
have to compel it. 1t means. moreover,
that the Republican party at the North do
not intend to permit the same game TO be
played in 1875 that came SO near to being
successful in 1861. and whateyer else
those interested may choose to put upon
it. We hear every day the asser.
ton. 1--WE Can not fight the United
States army" Let us add also.
that it will be much more serious to fight
the American people. Our Democratic
friends should be cautious about being
deceived by the Northern Democracy as
they once allowed themselves to be. Most
OF them reccllect the experiences Of 1860
and 1861. The Woods, Sunset Cox. Val.
landisham. and thousands Of other Con.
perheads. promised that the whole North.
ern Democracy would rise in defense Of
the rights Of the South. in case an attempt
was made by the United States govern.
government to coerce a "soyereign State.
Bull Run retired thess deceivers. and
many others. while the vast majority of
their constituents enlisted In the Union
army. and obtained pork and mule con.
tracts. As it was then SO it will be again.
IN all respects, if there is anv
further progress made in the new
rebellion. Ths programme arranged
by the Senatorial caucus is likely to ba
carried out. which it is believed will nut
a stop to the troubles in the South. It
may be construed into an admission that
the reconstruction measures have failed.
but it will not imply the necessity for abau.
doning them. Perhaps the presen. con.
dlt'on may hereafter be urged as an |
argument against another hasty and
general amnesty before the country was !
prepared for it. We can rest assured IN |
any event. that some means will be found |
in this boosted land OF liberty and civiliza,
ton to protect the defeaseless citizen in
al! the rights conferred upon him by law.
we may as well make up our minds to
Ibis without unnecessary delay.

The negro, Sims, who committed a
terrible outrage upon the person Of a
Miss jackson, lady Of Odenton, An
ne Arundel Co., and mention of which
we made last week. was on Monday
morning last taken from the Annapo.
lis Jail by a large mob of disguised
men, numbering from seventy-llve TO
one hundred, who took him out
side Of the city limits and hanged him
to tree. All possible resistance was
made toward the determined crowd,
but of no avail, as they entered the
Jail, overpowered the keeper, secured
the keys, broke the chains continlng
Sims and departed all in the space of
three or four minutes. Great excite
1nent prevailed in Annapolis after the
affair became known, but special
dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette says
everybody seems satisfied with the
disposition Of the case, and that the
dastardly Gend received his dues.
The crowd Of excited spectators had
not yet retired from the Jail when
Officer Geo. A. 7. Jubb arrived at
the jail with another negro tisnd by
the name of Williams, arrested upon
precisely the same charge as was Sims,
committing an outrage upon a Miss
Stinchcomb. Apprehensions are had
that lie too may share Sims fate.

IT is said there WAS a serious inter-
ference with the festivities Of the
Sheridan wedding, the result Of an UNI
accountable oversight. A great guam,
tity of pastry and other delicate dishes
had been placed in a back yard for
the purpose Of cooling, and left there
without any one to watch them. The
consequence can easily be imagined
by any one familiar with the charac-
teristics of the Chicago boy. The
aroma from the steaming dainties
waited to the streets soon brought to
the spot horde Of Juvenile bandltti,
who, without the slightest regard to
the dignity of the Lieutenant General
Of the Army, or the appetite of the
guests, swarmed over the fence, and
bore away the choicest plots that had
been provided for the wedding feast.
