CONGRESSMAN SMALL, of New
Hampshire, would seem to be some.
thing of 'nepot" He nominated
one OF his sons as cadet at West
Point. and now has recommended the
appointment of another as mail agent.
-Ecchange.
Our Congressman elect has not as
yet secured for any of his relations
an appointment to West Point, be.
cause there was no vacancy, but SC
far as he has been able to do he has
secured good positions-Clerkships
&c.,-for number of them. With
a fair opportunity, judging from the
good beginning he has made, he bids
fair to beat all in the field at nepo-
tism.

Hon. H. S. NEAL, in a communi-
cation to the Ironton Register, after
stating the real facts connected with
the Louisiana affair says:
Now, what law was violated by
Gen. DeTrobriand? What unwar-
rantable interference was he guilty
of? What rights of the people OF
Louisiana did he trample upon? All
that he did was to remove some law
less persons, who were illegally in
terfering with a proper organization
of the Legislature. Nothing more;
and instead of being censured for
this he deserved the thanks of every
law-abiding, orderly citizen of our
country. In what light does it place
these gentlemen, who have been so
fierce to condemn and denounce:
They show themselves the champions
of the mob, the advocates of any IL
legality that will give them political
advantage, the apologists of murder
ers and assassins, and, as in 1861, the
sympathizers and defenders of those,
who sought to destroy the Union and
who deluged the land with the blood
of our best young men.
Let not the people be deceived.
All that has been done by President
Grant and his advisers and by the
gallant and patriotic General Sheri-
dan is in the interests of good order
and of lawful government; and it will
be time enough for us to feel anx-
ious about our constitutional liber-
ties, when something has been done
to infringe upon them. In 1861, we
were assured that the General Gov
ernment had no power to coerce a
State; no authority to suppress the
rebellion then existing in all the
Southern States; and the rebels said,
then as now, "Let US alone" The
people thought otherwise; they
quickly expelled from office every
man, who entertained such opinions,
or who sympathized with the rebels
in their wicked attempt to destroy the
Union; and, thanks to the strong
arms and brave hearts of our 9gal-
lant boys in blue" the rebellion was
suppressed and the Union restored.
Now, the same men who were willing
to have the Union destroyed, who
prayed for and labored for the sue
cess of the rebellion, are to-day de-
nouncing President Grant, General |
Sheridan and every other person who
are endeavoring to secure equal and
just rights to all classes of our peo-
pie, the rich and the poor, those |
of high or low estate, and there.
BY strengthen and perpetuate Repub-
lican institutions, and are insisting
that the people shall turn out of of
fee those true and trusted leaders.
who directed the affairs of this gov
ernment all through the dark days of
the rebellion, and elevate to power
md office those who fought to de-
Stroy the Union with their allies and
'ympathizers in the North. 1t is the
hiss of the same old Copperhead, and
his bite will beas dangerous AMI IA
al as it was in 1861.

A Railroad Prospect.

Capt E. S. ALEsHIRE is in receipt
of a letter from certain parties IN
Richmond, Va, who were seen by
the committee recently sent to Phila-
delphia from our city on railroad
matters, stating that they are ex-
tremely anxious to build a branch
road from Scary, on the c. d 0. K. K,
down the Kanawha, and connecting
with some western railroad. These
parties claim that the C. Il o. R. r.
Co. is not able financially to con-
tinue that road down the river to
Cincinnati, and that as affairs stand
now trade floats almost wholly into
Baltimore. This they are desirous
of diverting. In order to secure this
the parties state that they can raise
$l,OOO,O00 in Richmond alone.
1t is evident that Richmond, and
other cities directly interested in this
railroad, does not want the road
built to the Ohio river alone, for in
that case they wonld be in no better
situation than they are now in by
having the road to Huntington. 1t
is to connect with some railroad run
ming to Cincinnati and thereby to the
Great West.
GaIlipolis Island is noted as being
one of the best places for building a
railroad bridge across the Ohio River,
and the parties writing seem to be
aware of this. This natural advan-
tage must bring the road here.
We have under construction from
this city a railroad leading to the
Marietta & Cincinnati r. r., upon
which a great amount of grading has
been done. This will be the con-
connecting link, and the greater in
ducement for the proposed connec-
tion to pass through our city.
Now is the time for unity of action;
for combination of powers. Ours
has been a mighty effort for the
means at our command. We have
succeeded beyond expectation, but
we are poor Too poor, and adding
contention to poverty we soon reach
a dead lock. Let overtures and con-
cessions be made in this matter; let
the two roses be joined, and with ore
united mind let us have a railroad,
regardless of who builds, controls or
owns it. The public veal alone ought
to be consulted, and what will work
out the greatest good in the shortest
time should be the pursued policy.
The following is the letter refer
red to:
81 was much pleased to hear from
you, and have to thank you for the
map. Our people are making a
move with a view to r. r. connection
through your city to the Great West
and Northwest. Efforts think will
soon be made by Richmond, Offering
assistance to the Ches. & Ohio r.
Road, or some other party, to build
that connecting link"

One Way of Making Money.

Representatives Bundy, Garfield
and Sypher, and ex-Representatives
Shellaberger have been sued for their
lives. A New York publishing com
pany has entered suit against them
to recover $43S, $1,163, $3.50 and
1868, respectively, for editing and
rewriting the sketches of their lives,
together with the cost of compost
tion for printing such biographical
sketches. These suits are but one
part of an extensive fraud, which has
been attempted upon many public
men.

The democratic Legislature OF
West Virginia is IN a disorganized
state over the Senatorial question
There is no question of principle or
capability in it. 1t is purely a
personal fight; whether Walker,
Camden, and some other man, shall
have the office; and the contest has
assumed a most bitter character.

IF witnesses called before the
Congressional committee at New Or
leans. who are disposed to tell tue
truth, are treated as Mr.. oglesey
has been. it is no wonder that the tes-
t;monv is one sided. 1t is ostracism
and even death for witness to speak
his convictions, unless they run Win
the popular current. The St. Louis
Times, a paper with democratic sym
pathies, tells the story in regard to
Mr.. Oglesby as follows:
Mr.. j. II. Oglesby was not com
PEELED to resign the Presidency of the
New Orleans Chamber of Commerce.
After his extraordinary testimony in
behalf of the Kellogg Government,
he simply found himself in posi-
ton from which the common civili-
ties and cOurtesies of social life were
withdrawn. A resident and business
man for half a century, he awoke to
the discovery that he was without a
single acquaintance among reputable
business men, and his bank-that
had become famous as a custodian OF
commercial wealth-found itself in a
single day without depositor. MIR.
Oglesby was as completely alone as
if he had lived in a desert. Isolated
and ignored by the friends he
had known for fifty years, the terri
BILE rebuke struck home as none other
could, and he resigned his CONNER
cial honors for friendless retire
ment. To nature like Mr.. Ogles-
by's, such a manifestation of public
disapproval was crushing in its eft.
feet. He now lies at the point OF
| death.

The National House of Representa-.
tives held a continuous session OF
forty-six hours last week, and didn't
do anything at that. The democrat
ic minority, in pursuance of its poll
cy of rule or ruin, attempted to con-

was a disgracefnl scene of flibuster-
ing on the part of the democrats to
prevent consideration of the Civil
Rights bill.

POI1ONED TO DEATH.

POISONED TO DEATH.
Ahealthy liver secretes, each day about
two and a half pounds Of bile, which COL
tains a great amount of waste material
taken from the blood. When the liver BE-
comes torpid or congested, itfails to elimin-
ate this vast amout of noxious substance,
which, therefore, remains to poison the
blood and be conveyed to every part of
tho system. What must be the condition
of tho blood when it il receiving and re-
taining each day two and half pounds of
poison? Nature tries to work of this poi
son through other channels and organs-
the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. but these
organs become overtaxed in performing
this labor, in addition to their natural func-
tons, and cannot long Withstand the pres
sure, but become varioualy diseased.
The brain, which il the great electrical
centre of all vitality, il unduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood which passes to it
from the heart, and it fails to perform it,
Office healthily. Hence the symptoms Of
bile poisoning, which are dullness, head
ache, incapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment Of. memory, di..y,
sleepy, or nervou. feelings, gloomy fore
bodings and irritability Of temper. The
blood ;t.ey being diseased. a. it forms the
sweat upon the surface Of the skin, il 70
irritating and poisonous that it produces
discolorsd brown spots, pimples, blotches
and other sruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles
and scrofulous tumors. The stomach,
bowels, and other organs spoken Of cannot
escape becoming affected, sooner or later,
and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia,
diarrhna, female weakness, and many other
forms Of chronic disease, are among the
necessary results. Az remedy fox all
these manifestations of diseass, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery with small
daily doses of his Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets are positively unequalled. By them
the liver and stomach are changed to an
active and healthy state, the appetite regu-
lated and restored, the blood and secretions
thoroughly purified and enriched, and the
whole system renovated and built up anew.
