IT'S the fashion to get off this kind OF
stuff: "Man goes out into the wide,
wide world to battle and die; and wO-
man stays at home to make him glad
of it." Which is sheer nonsense. Wo-
man stays at home to sew on his but
tons and darn his socks; but she has
her revenge in spanking the baby.

SUPPOSE plain JOHN SMITH had come
the bayonet dodge over the Louisiana
Legislature instead of PHILIP REGIS DE
,TRoBRIAND. The devil would have
been to pay, and the Federal govern
ment, at this blessed moment, engaged
in heating the pitch. Luckily for US
all, a romantic name is a shield Of
ACHILLES that preserves its bearer from
the poignards of the sentimental ''ban-
ditti" of New Orleans.

THE PROPER REMEDY

The intelligence telegraphed over
the country yesterday of the new out
rage perpetrated upon the sovereignty
of another Southern State by the mill
tary arm of the government, will tend
to exasperate the Southern people, and
re-awaken with increased intensity the
Indignation of the honest and patriotic
masses of the North against the extra
ordinary conduct of the drunken fool
at the head ofour national affairs.
There is lesson in all this. eHAKs-
PERE furnished us the key to it hun
dreds of years ago when he gave voice
to the sentiment that vaulting ambition
often o'erleaps ITSELF GRANT has but
two governing passions: First, to re-
tain control of the patronage of the
government; second, to get drunk. 1t
was asserted-and on Republican au-
thority-that he was drunk when he
approved General SHERIDAN's conduct
at New Orleans. That was a most
miserable excuse. But the man can't
be drunk always. There was more in
it than the stubborn folly ola drunken
man. There was so much more in it
than that, that we exhort our Southern
brethren to bride their just indignation;
to permit their liberties, stricken down
by this ruthless monster, to lie yet a
little while longer bleeding upon the
ground. GRANT Is but tool in the
hands of men ADLER, wiser and more
reckless than himself coundrels who
woulk trade upon the generous and pa
triotic impulses ofthe people of the
North, and goad the people of the
South to that pitch of desperation wher
reason fees and the brute instinct o.
self,defense assumes its vacated throne
The assassination of a creature likt
IDAN would be a godsend to them
The firing a volley upon squad o
Federal soldiers would be the very
thing they thirst for. Do not gratify
them, o ill-used South!
The remedy for such high crimes il
the President and his advisers does no
consist in resort to arms. Ours j
not an oppressive monarchy to over
throw-we have no despot to chas
from a throne. Our organic law al
fords us all the remedy we desire o
need. The South has suffered muc
and suffered long. She can afford t
suffer on for another year, and then tn
People will redress her grievances, wi
right all her wrongs. The ballot-boS
+ and not the bullet and bayonet is tn
a proper remedy. The ballot is noisele;
II as the falling snow, and falls with &
IS little weight as the thistle-down, but
n yields power mightier than that {
+ any crowned monarch, and effects rev,
< buttons that trained armies often fail |
: accomplish. Let the South abid
e with patience the intervention of TIL
e voiceless, bloodless, avenger, and all wi
e be well with her. Then, indeed, fror
l. the garden of her tribulatlon wi
s spring the flower ofjoy.

If we could purchase General VIII
L1AMs at his actual value and sell him
for what he thinks he is worth, we'd

lar gold pieces, and then have enough
left to enable us to live like prince.

State Convention assembled at the capital to-
day. 1t was the largest assemblage since 1861.
ALI the prominent men of the state were pres.
emit. Ex-Gov. Charles Clark presided. After
the appointment OF committee on resolutions
Col. Lamar addressed the meeting at length,
arraigning the government administration in
the severest manner and opposing the madness
OF the SO called color line. Hon. W. 3. Hem

Treasurer The platform adopted is mainly
confined to state matters. II recognizes to the
fullest extent the civil and political equality of
all men, and asks aid and assistance of voters
of all parties of both races in the establishment
OF good government. The color line is wholly
ignored.
At p. m. the convention resolved itself into
three separate departments. The department

A new marble statue, of heroic size, in Illus
tration of Longfellow's "Hiawatha, by Mr..
Augustus ST. Gaudens, young sculptor, who
is native of New York city, but has been
studying several years abroad, has just been
received from Rome by Ex-Governor Morgan.
Hiawatha is represented reclining upon a
rock, with his left arm thrown over the stump
of birch tree. Upon the smooth bark Of a
projecting limb he has drawn several suggest
i've figures and is gazing at his work in deep
thought His right arm rests upon his knee,
and the rude pencil which has served him for
crayon is clasped by the fingers His bow,
unstrung, rests against the shattered tree
trunk, and the culver lies at his feet. The
figure is nude, except at the waist, where it is
encirced by fur girdle. A bunch OF eagles
feathers ornament his head. The figure, II
standing, would be about seven and hal
feet in height and by critical observation
represents the accurate proportions OF strong
and vigorous manhood, except that it is OF
heroic size. The hair is long and flowing, and
its texture, peculiar to the Indian race, has
been well preserved.

The Situation at Fail River

FALL RIVER Aug. 3.-Everything remains
quiet in the city. The streets are thronged
with thousands of operatives. All the mills,
with the exception of the Stafford, Richard
Borden and Mount Hope, 1.-THE latter makes
wide goods,) are at stand still. This after
noon portion of the weavers of the Richard
Borden came out, but the mill continued to
run up to closing time tonight, when there
was large crowd around the mill. There was
no violence, though some hooting. Whether it
will start up tomorrow is not known.
The Stafford mill gave notice to day of
reduction. 1t is probable that this will cause a
stoppage there. While it is conceded that large
portions of the operatives would have preferred
to continue work, it is not generally believed
that there is any immediate prospect of their
return. The carders and weavers hold meet
ing tomorrow afternoon at the park, weather
permitting. The spinners will meet at Carroll
ton Hall tomorrow. The procession arranged
by the joint convention will not take place, the
weavers' committee desiring to cause no undue
excitement, inasmuch as the opera tives have
decided on vacation and counsel peace and
good order. e

The health and vigor of the several organs of the
body depend upon the simple condition that the
functions which pertain to each shall be regularly
and actively performed If vitality is sluggish or de-

consequence disease is soon inaugurated. Prevent
1t by timely use Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which rouse the vital energies when dormant and
endow the feeble frame with needful stamina. At
the same time that the Bitters infuse new strength
into the SYSTEM they correct those functional regu-
