Republican Papers Speaking Out.

Another prominent Republican journal
raises its protest against the Administra-
tons conduct of the Louisiana business.
The Boston Advertiser. which at first was
inclined to take the Kellogg side of the
case, now says the breaking up of the leg
islature by Federal troops was an act
of high handed tyranny, and adds:
'For years The great state of Louisiana,
whose people have as good a right to be
left alone to manage their own affais as the
people of Massachusetts, has been ruled
not by Its own citizens, but by two carpet
baggers, holding federal office, and having
the adroitness to enlist all the power of the
government upon their side in the inevita-
BILE confusion which they provoked
Whenever the elections have not been
carriedin their favor,t have overthrow
the returns by some jugglery like Judge
Durrells midnight order, or the manip
ulat ions of returning board; ard, when
that has not succeeded orders from Wash
ington have reinforced them, and the
people have had no alternative but to pro-
test and bide their time. Under such a
state of things it is not becoming to be
silent. This is the time when the voice OF
the Republican states should be heard"

Money Squandered.

A case from Cordova in our circuit court
has excited no little interest from the plain
conflict of testimony.-for somebody lies
about the matter. The case is Abbott VS..
Armstrong 4 Thompson. In 1870 Abbott
sold a lot of railroad tools, consisting Of
scrapers, picks, shovels, wheel barrows,
etc., etc., to Gabe Armstrong. Abbott,
having never received any pay for them,
sued the firm of Armstrong a. Thompson
for their value. Thompson. as one OF the
defendants, claimed that the tools were
not sold to the firm, and that Armstrong
was the sole purchaser. The point was
whether Thompson was partner with
Armstrong in the purchase of the TOOLS
Thompson claimed that he was not, but
that Armstrong purchased the tools on his
own personal responsibility and turned
them in to the firm against an equa
amount of money put in by Thompson
The case was appealed from a Justice:
court. and two years ago it was tried be
fore the circuit court. At the presen
term it occupied about week and the jur!
disagreed. The costs have already largel.

MIR. GRANT WEAKENs.


Specials from Washington say that there
was dead set made on u. s. g. in regard
to his intended Louisiana message, by Fish,
Bristow, Jewell. Henry Wilson and others,
and that the little whisky bloat never heard
SO much plain talk before in his life. There
suit was modification ofhis message, taking
the venom out of it, and declaring that the
court issued illegal orders - that the
Kellogg election was "a gigantic fraud !"
that he didn't order Bandit Sheridan to
interfere with the legislature, ETC., etc
In fact the thing as sent to congress was
quite different affair from what he in
tended. And in proof of this we find in
the Chicago Journal the following special

The Promptness of Lord Hawley.

On Tuesday, Mr.. John B. Hawley, of
Illinois, presented in congress some old res
olutions passed by our last (Republican)
legislature calling upon Boss" Grant to
uphold Kellogg's gigantic fraud by force.
Mr.. Hawley is in big business, with those
old resolutions. He knows they do not
express the sentiments of the people of
this state. He knows that this state, last
fall, by 10000 majority, repudiated that
policy and his party, and the legislature
which passed those resolutions. He knows
that nine tenths of the people of Illinois,
to-day, would repudiate Grants Louisiana
policy And knowing this he has the ef-
frontery to present those old resolutions
as the will of the state of Illinois. He
knows they represent lie. Shame! Mr..
Hawley. Shame!

The Chemistry Of the Stomach.

As in the more delicate processes Of the labora
tory, it is essential that the reagents employed to
produce chemical changes In matter should be un
contaminated SO also it is imperatively necessary
thar the fluids Of the stomach, which act chemically
upon the food, should be perfectly pure. When the
stomach is acid it is because these fluids are vita
ted or diluted Similarity. other forms of ind'ges-
ti"n arise from a deficiency Of the chemical prop.
critics of the gastric juices. The most direct and
agreeable way to restore their purity and improve
their quality, lie to take before each meal wine
glassful of Hostetter's Stomach BiIters, which
corrects aciditv. render digestion complete and
painless, and overcome the cons ipa:ion which il
produces. The nervousness and weakness result
ing from chronic dyspepsia, also disappear under
ito influence.
