Congressional Recognition.
II From the N. O., Republican,

Whatever may be, brought before
the congressional committee here, ON
one side or the other, will probably
have little OF no influence in the de-
oision of the Louisiana question.
Every intelligent ,na.. in Congress is
already thoroughly informed of tho
truth, and is not in need Of any fur
ther enlightenment from this section
of the Union. Some Of them, it il
true, are waiting till their constituents
can become 1nlly posted, in the hope
Of q sort Of tonic in tho shape Of an
expression of opinion, or even instruc-
tions. Present appearances indicate
that the Senate will soon pass joint
RESOLUTION recognizing the Kellogg
government, which will be put
through the house by the Republican
majority. The proposition to begin
reconstruction anew by. practically
atolishing the present State govern
ments in the South has lately lost
favor, and may possibly be abandon
ed But the idea that an American
Ecitizen ought to be as safe in his own
country al lie is abroad, and entitled
to the protection Of his flag as well in
Louisiana as in Prussia UT Central
America is one that will not be re-
fnqnislled. The President will prob
ably be given authority in addition
to that conferred upon him by the re-
construction and insuirection laws.
The suspension of the hahaes corpus
III certain cases and localities is con-
tilently predicted. which will be equiv
alent TO authority i'll the President to
declare war. There is much more
Hkcliheod ef'eomet',isg of-tl,is kind

81 ,istlation or the Wilt House Of
u Representatives.. Our grand revolu~
ti6l will not take such a step back
ward as would he implied by Congress
pI.,cing in the hands of it's Democratic
enemies here scourges for the backs
of IT'S political friends. We may be
in danger Of martial law, but none
whatever of Democratic supremacy.

/. The Albany Erening Journal makes
the following points in the Louisiana
case, developed on the fourth of Jan
uary: '"' "'.*' .--' f ~ -. :
/. The Republicans had a majority
of the members returned by the Re-
turning Board and entitled to take
seats.
2. Before the meeting Of the Legis-
lature, the Democrats kidnapped one
Republican member and sought to in
timidate others. ~y,
3. In spite of these facts, when the
Legislature met, the Republicans still
had majority Of those entitled to take
seats. .f .s.H ,-.+E. ...s...-
+ 4. Finding themselves thus in a
minority, the Democrats usurped the
control of the House, in fragrant
defiance of law, and by wholly revo-
lutionary means: and being thus illeg-
ally organized, this body illegally adj
mitted five intruders who claimed
seats, but who could not legally secure
admission in any such irregular way.
L 5. The same Democratic body passed
Il resolution and sent committee
which first brought the federal soldiers
within the hall.
6. Thereupon fifty-two members,
beiug a majority OF all returned, sign
ed request, and Governor Kellogg
made call upon the federal officers
| to restore order and law.
l. 7. The five so-called members re-
moved were legally intruders, who
had no lawful title to seats. ..r
8. 1t was the Democrats who first
introduced military interference
and the only coercion Of members
lawfully entitled to seats VAS by the
Democrats who coerce1 " Republl-
can members for the purpose Of Civ
ing them a quorum. ,.i

What Senator Morton Thinks.

After interviewing Senator Morton,
a correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune submits the following statements,
which throw additional light upon the
plan of the McEneryites to subvert
our State Government: -ea
When asked what he thought the
new committee would learn, he said
| they would learn one very important
! thing. They will show that the OBJ
.ject of WilN was to organize the
House and to connect with the Nc
Emery Senate, whicli was in the State
House at the time of the assembling
of the House, and then to recognize
McEnery and complete the revolution.
| The Senator said McEnery had de-
clared that he had $4,000 or 20, 600
fighting men ready for work if it Was
needed. These facts, according to
the Senator, are beyond question.
| MIR. Foster, of the subcommittee,
heard DR.. McA1illen, one OF the Nc
Emery United States Senators, say
that such was the purpose. During
the excitement Of organizing ON the
fourth instant McEnely made the
saaue Acknowledgements to u member
of Congfess. Mr.. Foster wrote the
facts to Senator Sherman, who turned
the letter over to the President and
| it is now in the hands Of Senator
| Frelinghuysen. Mr.. Morton that a
reference to this ought to have been
y, / AA2k
or that at least some testimony ought
Ito have h,en taken on the subject to-
fshow the evident intention of Witt
The political horizon, as seen by
the Indiana Senator's eyes, is by no
! nl.,;.ils cloudy. He thinks the kepub
lican party has yet 4 great futnrc be : :
fore it, and that its victories will be
uo less than they have been in the
past. He thinks the conduct of the
people OF the South and of the Dem
ocrat1c party will unite the North on
the old war issues, and that the Re
publica,,s will carry every Northern
State. He believes there will be u
greater war feeling in the North than
in 1872, and that the people will show
an earnestness on the Southern diff
culties that must he needed. He re-f
feired to the. late elections to show
the tendency OF the Southern people
to support the old rebel element. He
said he was informed by persons who
had taken the trouble to ascertain the
facts tllat iii the next House OF Rep-
resentatiyes there will be eighty six
Rebel officers and soldiers and twenty
two Union officers and soldiers. He
had no doubt that the Forty fifth Con-
g,ess would be us largely Republican
as the present one. - -.-'

man from Saginaw he was led to
the conclusion that Holly water
works would in the end be as
cheap as any means that could be
adopted, and much more effcctual
and satisfactory. II the Holly
water works could be got for
twenty or twenty-five thousand
dollars, he was Of the opinion that
we had better have them, but as he
had not examined the question very
thoroughly, however, he would sug-
gest that a committee be appointed
to investigate the matter. On the
whole he would advise that such
steps as would not render our taxes
excessive.
Mr.. Kelley was Of the opinion
that another engine was an abso-
lutte necessity and that some means
should be provided to pay for 1t
this year. He was entirely oppos-
cd to issuing bonds. He thought
the proper question to be sub
mitted to the people at present
would be whether they were will
ing to put four or five thousand
dollars on the tax roll to pay for
an engine. Issuing bonds was not
business like, the wiser course
would be to pay for the engine
this year, it would not raise the
taxes very much.
Mr.. Mccartney stated that he
heard parties in Detroit say that
Alpena depended wholly on insur-
ance, that we were without a fire
company, had one and disbanded,
and that unless the people of AL
pena would take some steps to
help themselves, insurance compa-
MES would have to withdraw.
Mr.. Kelley moved that it be the
sense of this meeting, that the city
purchase another steam fire engine.
The motion was carried.
Mr.. Kelley moved that a commit
tee of three, consisting of Messrs.
Maltz, Avery and Bolton, be ap-
pointed to investigate the matter
as to the propriety of putting such
amount as may be necessary to
purchase another fire engine, upon
the present tax roll.
Mr.. Maltz declined acting on the
committee and stated that he could
do better service off it, and Mr..
Kelley was appointed instead.
The Chair announced the COM
mittee would stand as follows !:
Messrs. Kelley, Avery and Bolton.

n meeting Of the citizens Of Al
pena was convened in the Court
Room, on Tuesday evening, June
18th, 1875, to take into consider
alton the propriety of purchasing
another fire engine. Henry Bolton
was appointed Chairman, and A.
r. Mcdonald Secretary.
Mayor Malta was the first to
address the meeting. He was OF
the opinion that the city needed
better protection against fires, and
that this could be secured, in a
measure at least, by getting either
another fire engine or q hand en-
CINE. Inasmuch as the streets OF
our city are now in very fair con-
dition, he thought it would be
better to do less work on them this
year than was at first contemplate
ed and apply the money thus saved
to the purchased Of an engine. II
IN engine was purchased, 1t would
only increase the tax few mills
on the dollar, and he, as taxpayer,
was willing that such steps should
be taken as would render property
secure, even IL his taxes were a
few dollars higher for one year.
He stated that this meeting was
called by the Common Council to
ascertain the wishes of the citizens
before calling an election. In case
an election is held, the officers Of
the respective wards have agreed
to give their services free.
A. r. Fletcher moved that the
Common Council be instructed to
hold an election for the purposes
mentioned In the notice by which
this meeting was called.
Mr.. Avery thought the subject
an important one 70 every citizen,
and from q conversation that he
had q short time ago with gentle

DR.. Maiden is prepared to de-
vote his time and attention to the
comforts of the afflicted who visit
the healing fountain for relief. So
much has been said of late years
in regard to the curative powers
Of the water of this magnetic
spring that there remains little
more to be said. Many have been
entirely cured Of disease by the
use of the water which flows from
this well, while hundreds have been
greatly relieved, and would have
cured had they given the necessary
time for use. At present there are
several parties at the Fletcher
House who are in town for the
purpose of relief at the bath house,
while we hear of many more who
intend soon to seek aid from the
same source.

When all the world seemed hushed to reposc,
The angles were waiting, the spirit to receive,

Over the form, which to them, had only been lent
For time. Soon her suf'erings win be DOR.

Must patiently await the bright eternal day,
For our treasured one has gone, homo to prepare
For the husband and babes who will soon meo'
