A number OF Democratic Governors
have recently sent messages to their
several State Legislatures, OF which
the following by Gov. Allen of Ohio
IL fair sample:
TO the General Assembly:
j desire to call your attention tn
the grave circumstance of the Inter
ference Of the Federal troops In the
organization and proceedings Of the
Legislature of a sister State. lf tie
reported action of the military in tii-
seating persons, claiming to be me,n-
bers Of the Louisiana Legislature,
and giving their places to persons
contesiing the same, Is true, and il
legal and proper, then the same In
tcrierence would be legal and proper
here; and 1t seems to me to he the
duty Of the Representatives Of the
people Of this State to ut once enter
vigorous protest against this action
that ii may not be made precedent
Mt some future time for the over
throw of the civil government here.
If there is a law warranting the set
tling Of con tested election cases iu the
State Legislatures by the use OF Ftd-
eral arms, then In my Judgment You
should request its immediate repeal.
If there il 10 law for il then your in
dignapt protest should be heard No
Washington, insisting upon such
action by Congress ~ will prevent,
in the future, such fragrant outrages
against civilliberty.
Commenting upon the above mes
sage the Ottumwa Courier says:
"Old Bill Allen, Of Ohio, who IN
the times Of rebellion uttered t.r
most disloyal sentiments and sai'lk
into obscurity In consequence Of his
falling to stand by the country IN The
hour Of it's peril, has taken orcrsinn
to address the Democratic Legislature
of Ohio by special message, IN which
he asks that body to enter lts protest
against the attempt Of President
Grant to protect the lives Of innocent
citizens or a sovereign state where
| murder and revolution has run riot
luntll thousands have been slain ana
where still greater slaughter wYs
imminent. Old Bill il ore Of the
| prominent Democratic candi,,ates for

Phil. Sheridan Is Democrat, and
always was Democrat, but as he
does not take the rebel view Of the
situation in Louisiana, but wants the
White League leaders declared ban
ditti and treated accordingly, he is OF
course denounced without stint by
the Democratic press North and
South. They hate Sheridan at New
Orleans as they did Sheridan i'm the
Shenandoah valley. He il the same
Phil. Sheridan in 1875 that ne was IN
1861 emocratic, hut not fire-eat-
ing rebel. They hate and fear Sher-
idan down there for the same reasons
that they despised and dreaded Gen.
ButIer-for the reason that he forced
them to good behavior.

stripe are vigorously active In the
work OF inciting the White Leaguers
and other rebel elements toward
another rebellion. Some weeks
since they defiantly boasted that the
Republican officials should never be
installed If they. the Canvassing
Board, should declare them elected /;
and now they are calling upon their
hosts to organize In White Leagues,
ku-Klux Klans ETC., to make good
their threats. The ex-rebel soldiers
are fiockingto New Orleans fof arms,
and are being supplied by TIE State
officials of the League. general
insurrection is seriously threatened.
The Shreveport Times, one OF the
rampant rebel journals that melted
the massacre of prisoners there some
months since, now says:
"If the Federal Government in
terferes with our efforts to protect
ourselves against fraud, then let the
State be made too hot to hold u
scoundrel who dares to take an office
to which he has not been elected.
There are more ways than one of
dealing out justice 10 rascals who are
protected by tyrannical powers"
The Times, and other papers OF its
kind, backed by rebellious horde,
set up howl of " fraud" whenever
man is elected who will not do
their bidding. He is denouaced as
scoundrel," carpet -bagger, mig
ger" etc, ard ii possible, eitherai-
sassiuated er mebbed out ofthe coun-
try. The Piadicator, at Natchito
chcs, mutters:
For we have assured them once,
and we do so now, that we have the
rope and lamp posts ready when
they return with their Returning
Board Commissioners and by the
Eternal, We will put them to use."
Leading Democrats in Washing
ton do not hesitate to declare that
the armed opposition to the Louisi-
ana State Government Is to be organ
lied soon, and that Federal interfer-
ence is to be avoided by disbanding
under the Presidents five-day proc
lamation, after negroes have been
killed, houses burned, officers mob
bed, and all sorts of depredations
committed. Then il the Radicals
will not give up, the League force
will take arms again In u few months
and psaasislsv shs n~lioaas further. and
SO on until the Radicals have been
assassinated, chased out Of the State,
frightened into submission, etc, to
enable the Johnnies to carry the
State election next year, This is the
systam Of political management that
Is to restore peace and prosperity to
She oppressed South, as the Southern
rebels and their Northern allies see
it. And when Pres't Grant, at the
call Of the Governor Of the State
sends troops there to quell insurrec-
tion and to save the people from ut
ter anarchy and hopeless terrorism,
we hear terrible howl ell over the
North as well as the South, about
despOtisrn and warranted interfer-
eace with State affairs, dictation at
a. - 1F
0surpation, coercion, and all the IA
miliar cries of 1861, when the fire
eaters wanted an excuse for kicking
up row. They are suffering for a
general muss, and If they are not
careful Sheridan will Accommodate
them in his old-fashioned way,
which they ought by this time to
understand.

Of health, happiness and honor. Every
physician at the time treated mud-bath-
ing with ridicule, but in the present day

German watering-plsce are among the

raj disorders Graham was not wrong;
he only took quackish way Of announc-
ing his theories. There is apparently a
curative power in earth. Not long ago,
a man employed at some iron-works near
Melksham managed to get himself fixed
in the narrow part of an iron tube, and
when he was extricated, was to all ap.
pearance dead. His mates dug a hole
in the ground, put the unconscious pa
tient into it, and filled in the earth,
leaving only a small hole for him to
breathe through, should he draw breath
again. In very short time be

down with scurvy, and there being none
of the usual remedies at hand, an old
sailor suggested the trial of one, which
had saved a ships crew in some land in

men upright as far as their chins, until
the earth drew the poison out of their
bodies Six pits were quickly dug in the
warm alluvial soil, and when the sun
went down, the men we're placed in them,
and the earth shoveled ia around them
1t was a beautiful moonlight night; and
the operation completed, the invalids
chatted gaily together; their shaggy
heads just bursting through the earth in
the ftful moonlight, made them look
like men coming up to judgment; their
voices sounding weird aud ghostly, as
of another world. After a while, one by
one they fell asleep, and all was still.
Their comrades then stole away and
sought their cabins. When they rose in
the morning, and went to see how the
