STILL ANOTHER FOR HECTOR

Sir Walter Scott, in 'The Fair Maid of
PERTH" gives most glowing description
of the battle between ten picked men of
the Clan CHATEAU and the same number Of
the Clan Quhale, Eachin or Hector. The
young chief of one of these clans, with his
stalwart foster father and his eight brothers,
formed the one side, while on the other
were nine picked clansmen and the Smyth
of the Wynd had volunteered to supply the
place of one who had been suddenly taken
sick, that he might haYe the opportunity
to meet Eachin. The combat was to be to
the death, and was fercely fought as it
progressed; nearly every combatant but
Eachin was more or less wounded, and
several were killed outright. The armorer,
Smyth, sought only to reach Eachin, and
every effort of his was met by one of the
''fosterers," interposing under the orders
of their father. But still the old man, as
his sons were cut down before his eyes,
cried out to them, "Bas air son Edc1in." "
'Yet another for Hector, ;" and they rushed
to meet the Smyth and death, responding
''Still another for Hector" and when the
last had fallen Eschin, coward-like, fed.
We are forcibly reminded of this descrip-
ton when we read that E. L. Pierson, a
Republican member of the Louisiana Leg.
islature, from Natchitoches parish, was
killed last Sunday by Mr.. Cosgrove. The
Republican party at the close of the war,
and when reconstruction commenced.
asked Northern Republicans to go South
and assist in the work; thousands of men
who believed in union and had fought for
it obeyed the call and went. Thousands
have been assassinated by rebels, from
whose hands the blood OF Union soldiers
slain in battle had hardly been washed.
Yet, the Republican party, like Eachin's
foster father, had called for others to come
to the rescue and save the States it had
reconstructed from being overthrown, and
they came as did the "fosterers" to perish
by violence as their predecessors had done.
And now, some leaders of the Republican
party wish to do as Eachin did, coward-like,
desert the men who have sacrificed life for
them. The clan of which Eachin was q
member was so disgraced by his flight that
it was dismembered. The brave men in
it refused longer to bear the name that was
dishonored. The Republican party can
profit by this story.

4 YANKEE" TRAITOR IN SOUTH CARO-.

'Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina,
is q statesman of that honest, independent
sort that is needed to save his party or his
State. A party may need good cutting at
times, for its good, and Mr.. Chamberlain ad-
ministers it faithfully and kindly. The thick
and-thin partisan cannot understand such a
man; and we might have expected that the
Washington REPUBLICAN, would have been
provoked at his refusal to commission Whip
per and Moses as judges. 1t calls him 'po-
iitical coward'-which is about the last thing
he is-and smooth, oily traitor .'"-N Y.
Independent.
Our semi-religious and wholly Northern
Pacific railroad cotemporary is sadly mis-
taken. Gov. Chamberlain is not trying to
save his party; but is trying to sell it out
TO the Democracy. We know that Whip
per and Moses may be both incompetent
and corrupt, and we have never said any
thing to the contrary. But we know
further that their election to be judges was
due entirely to the jesuitical manipulation
of South Carolina politics by Gov. Cham
berlain and his chief organ, the Democratic
Charleston Ne1cs and Courier We admit
that the party in South Carolina needs
good cutting at times, and we point with
pride to the fact that the NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN was. the first newspaper Of
prominence and respectability outside of
the State to expose the true character Of
this infamous villain, Frank Moses. We
did II, however, as "thick-and-thin par
tisan," within the party, and were care
full at the time to show that the party
would risk nothing by banishing him
from place.and power. Subsequently Gov.
Chamberlain and his Democratic friends
succeeded in forcing the Legislature Of the
State into an attitude of defiance, because
the members of that body plainly saw that
he was attempting to hand over the State
and the patronage of his office to the OPP
position. Under these circumstances the
almost objectionable blunder of this un-
fortunate election of judges was committed.
If Chamberlain had been q true man and
an uncompromising Republican, instead of
q cringing seeker after social recognition
at the hands Of Democratic native South
Carolinians, who despise him for his
Yankee" birth, he would have moulded
the party inclination in the direction he
promised when he was inaugurated to be
Governor. Those promises were to reform
the party for its own sake and for the sake
of the sacred principles it represents. OF
course, Chamberlain will use this puff
from the Independent as proof that he is
sustained in his course by the moral senti-
ment of the Republican party in the North.
1t was, no doubt, written for the purpose
OF enabling him tofuse ii in that way.
He is welcome TO all that kind Of
aid he can get Every one who knows

THE prompt action of the Administration
in the cases of the Second Comptroller and
Third Auditor, together with some of their
subordinates, may be taken as gentle re-
minder that accounting officers of the Treas
ury are expected to examine and determine
the validity of claims for themselves, and
not pass them upon the avouchments of
others, even though the latter may be mem
bers of Congress. Perhaps it may also ad-
monish members of the National Legisla.
ture that it is their province to make laws
governing the procedure of accounting Off

The Haintsnsnes Of Health.

The maintenance Of health is often more difficult
than its recovery Initiated conditions Of thesatmos
phere unhealthy occupations, extremes Of heat or
cold, and constant exposure to rough weather, are
all so many provocations Of disease. There is but
one sure way Of efectually guarding the system
when thus subjected to influences prejudicial to
health. and that is to establish, BY judicious tonic
and alternative medication, vgcr of the body and
ularty Of it, functions. The properties Of any in
visorant and corrective are happily combined in
Hostetters Stomach Btters, which, at the same time
that it infuses unwonted vitality into the system,
overcomes all tendency Of the stomach, liver, bowels
and urinary organs to devate from regularity in the

entire physical organization is dependent. Health
cannot b more efectually maintained than BY
