National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-08-06


THE REPORT of the Department of
Agriculture for July contains, among other
interesting matter, paper by Prof Tay-
lor, the microscopic of the Department,
IN regard to some recent investigations Of
his on the chemical constituents Of ami
NAL substances, such as theieggs of insects
and Of fowls and the flesh, blood and Wis.
cera of various animals, including man.
The result of these experiments is to de.
monstrate the presence of cellulose and
glucose, or animal starch, in oil Of these
substances, although heretofore the former
has been supposed 10 be confined to few
of the lower forms Of animal life, while
the latter, though found In degenerated
liver and spleen, and In some other dis
eased organs, has not been supposed 10
exist In man or the higher animals when
in q healthy condition. As the correct
treatment Of diseased organ may often
depend upon correct knowledge Of It's
chemical structure, this discovery may
prove 10 be OF great medicinal value.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-08-06

IT is A noteworthy fact that the tone OF
the Northern press in its obituary notices
of the late President johnson was one of
almost unanimous praise-the only evil
dence of detraction being that in their
analysis of his character few writers
charged him with having occasionally
played the part OF demagogue. But
some of the Southern Democrats have not
forgotten that he refused to pardon Mrs.
Surratt, and now we hear from them that
1.-the part he took in the trial of the assas-
"sinators of President Lincoln-his sign
cling the death warrant of Mrs. Surratt,
"remains dark bat upon his escutcheon-
"but must now, with all that remains Of
chin, be consigned to the tomb" This is
simply a Characteristic display of the in
veterate hatred of the malignant classes of
the South of man who tried to do his
duty at critical period in Furnishing the
enemies of his country.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-08-06

where their rights will be recognized and the
weight given to their votes which suffrage
has right to demand. And what will be
the consequence Why, that all industry viii
cease and all progress be at an end. The
negro is the bone and sinew of the South. He
is now, as before the war, the source of South
ern prosperity. He does nearly ali the farm
ing, and three fourths Of the mechanics In this
State are negroes. 1t was one of the evn
points of slavery that manual labor was dis
grace, and as a natural consequence the poor
white men worked but little, and rarely learned
any trades. It would be woeful day for this
State that the negro left #. The Democrat
ought to see that It Is his interest, by kind
treatment, to keep the negro In the State. He
ought to see that his prosperity Is 50 closely
interviewer with that of the colored man that
the one cannot fall without dragging down the
other also. Their interests are one; their pro-
gress Is one also. 9aE ~
1t is strange that when the negro was q
chattel and degraded the white man lived in
harmony with him, but now that he Is free
and more intelligent the white man can't toll
crate him. On this soil we were all born and
reared, and here we ought together fight the
great battle Of civilization. hope the time is
not distant when a mans party will not be
known by the color of his skin. When secured
in all his rights the negro will be found in both
great political bodies; but that time has not
yet come. The Democratic party has not shown
itself such friend to the eolored people that
1t should ask or expect his support. It must
not then show such bitterness towards people
because all that they hold dear draw them
irresistibly towards party that has given
them all they have, and has made them what
they are. The bitter appeals made to the
white men during their campaign by the Dem
ocratic party will not tend to make the negro
(than whom no man believes more in the great
law of self-preservation) love that party more.
But God is with the right, and injustice can
never permanently triumph. G. NO.

should be execrated. Although that
hatred may have been p>orokei by
the hostility of the British Goyefnuent
to the Catholic Church, It bore
results in his hands which wiz live forever
to rejoice the hearts of the true Rspubli-
Cars BE has had no counterpart In the
worlds history. He was not the Richelieu
of Ireland, nor the Washington; but he
loved his country with devotion equal to
theirs; and, II the times had been propl-
tious, he might have won fame as patriot
soldier. As 1t is, he fills place in history,
not as sectarian, but as statesman and
publicist-an unexampled leader of the
masses. He was, perhaps, not so great in
some respects as Burke, nor so brilliant as
Sheridan, nor so eloquent as Grafton, but
he was, nevertheless, the peer of them
all. He may have succumbed in the last
hours Of his Life to questionable impulses.
but the surges of the mighty ocean, as they
are dashed in sad requiem notes against
the shores of his native isle, will no longer
be heard when the better deeds and most
prominent characteristics of Daniel O'Con-
nell are forgotten.
