TIE rERRIroR1AL1zED SOUTH.

In yesterdays APPEAL we showed
that Boutwell,, in his report, investiga.
ting Mississippi affairs, had confessed
that the reconstruction policy was a
failure, and that the Radicals proposed
to do the work over sgain. Even hon.
est Republicans denCu1ce the suggestion,
and many OF them deny that even
Boutwell, favors such an insane policy.
He concludes his report as follows:
The measures necessary and possible
in the eXigeDey are three:
First-Laws may be passed by COZ
gress for the protection OF citizens in
their respective States.
Second-StRtes in anarchy, or where
in affairs are controlled by bodies Of
armed men, should be denied represea-
tation in congress.
Third-The constitutional guarantee
Of q Republican form OF government to
every State, will 7, quire the United
States, il these orders increase, or even
continue, and all milder measures shall
prove Intellectual, TO remand the State
to territorial condition, with thor
ough system of public education and
change ideas of the inhabitants and re-
construct the government on a Repub
lican basis.
Patriots! men who desire peace and
reconciliation, this is the feast to which
you have been invited. This is the
fruits of eleven years reconstruction.
EventfuI, dismal eleven years! The
southern people calmly accepted the log
ic of necessity not sullenly, but with
quiet dignity. They furled their flag,
repealed the ordinances OF secession,
abolished slavery, repudisted the Con-
federsts debt, promptly did the biddings
of the military governors. They COM
piled with the reconstruction acts, and
sought to restore amicable relations be,
tween the sections. But, after all, it
seems our unhappy people awake to the
truth that all their creams o. peace ard
recuperstion are doomed to dissppoint-
ment. It seems from the above recon-
mendation by Boutwell,, that the iron
hand Of military rule is to convert our
free commemorative, sovereign States
in this Union, into satrapies. with the vir-
tue, intelligence and property of the south
at the mercy CT new swarm of hsrpies,
such as have already ruled, robbed
and plundered the south. Boutwell, in
tends his report, in which he proposes to
remand the southern States to a terri
torisI condition." as an elsctioneering
document for Radicalism; but we be-
lieve 1t will be worth thousands of votes
to the Democratic party, for there are
in the north patriots who are sick Of
the reconstruction demanding territory
business, and will unite with the Demo-
Gratis in their efforts to establish COM
plete reconciliation between the north
and south.

The Radical "SOIdier Dodge

OulCdSo
The exquisite blatherskitism Of the
soldier dodge was best illustrated early
ia the present session. So soon as the
new officials Of the house had gotten to
work il was found that the lists as here
tofore made out were unnecessarily
large. There were scores OF man who 50
only business it was TO Draw salary. The
clerk Of tie house ordered, by command
of the ms ority, an instant cutting doV n
in all departments. When the lists
were finally completed it was found
that the Confederate houae, even on this
reduced scale, had tbrse Union SOL
diers" in their employ where their pre-
decess0rs had one. This didn't make q
particle o. restraining difference with
the partisans. 1t was only last week
that the main misleader of public ssnti-
ment in New York carefully tabulsted
the clerical forces in the house to show
how the Union army have been routed
to make plscs for the COnfederate3, care
folly copcealiDg the truth and cheer
fully asserting just the opposite. The
Hayes campaign is largely one OF
dreams, fables and fiction. Instead Of
touching the real question involved in
the election, the Hayes pre- 'ses are en-
teTtsiDing such readers as are cOrtont
with half truths, with Ievivals Of war
literature and character lannpoOns, the
effect OF which may be fairly doubted in
the present condition n the public
mind,

PSF Is doing noble service for Tilden and
Democracy, and its utterances cary
great weight, on account OF the editor
having been an original sbolitlOpist and
one OF the founders OF the Republics
party. OF course he is called g traitor,
and in speaking Of him a Radical paper
says: HE has determined to help 10
tear down what he has lsbored for years
ID build up. Why is this thus?" The
editor Of the Uncle Samuel answers as
follows, which we regard as emphat-
ic and triumphant: swell, wen try
to answer why this is thus. When
we labored to build up the Republi.
can party, independent and sincere
men were az the front, such as Gree
ley, Lincoln, Sumner, Stevens, Cur
tin, Banks, Tumbull, Fsrnsworth,
Brown, and others. While thousands
OF true and patriotic men Of the party
were engaged fighting down the rebel
lion, side by side with patriotic Union
loving Democrats, the thieves Of the
country quietly combined aud ma aged
to capture the party, and in this they
uecetded. To-day the administrations
is run by the most barefaced peculators
and swindleTs, and these made the Gin
cinnsti nominations and are running
the party, and in the event of Hsyes's
election they will own the next admin
istration just as they own Grant. A
change Of President from Grant to Hayes
will not at all change the party manage
ment from Cameron, Conkling, Chsnd-
Ter & Co., to honest men, such as those
who represented the party years ago.
10 q word, the question to-day is,
shall an organized gang of thieves or
shall honest men run the government?
We prefer the latter. And If, under con-
viction Of patriotic duty, we did help to
build up the present Cutrageously cor
rupt political power and national dis
grace, we are very sorry for 1t, and the
least We can now do is help to tear down
that most unfortunate piece OF political
botchwork. We have about ninety.nine
additional aud very good reasons why
we favor the election of Tilden and
Hendricks, but the above we believe to
be sufficient"

Neuralgia in the faces and heads Of

treatment for Ulcers.

The dry.eerth treatment for ulcers is
found quite successful. Large, sloughy
ulcers, after being washed, are covered
with a thick layer OK earth, over which
wet paper is placed as q support, the
whole being neatly bsndaged. In few
days the ulcers begin TO clear, and when
the surfaces look healthy and granulat-
ing, q dressing made as follows i5 used {:
A piece OF muslin the size Of the ulcer
is immersed in carbolic oil, in the pro-
portion of one part Of acid to ten parts
of cocoanut oil; with this the sore is
covered, and over it dry earth is placed,
AID then moistened earth and band

ce. $ manifests itself satisfactory, while
all odor is entirely removed.

Poisoning by Choral.

An interesting account is furnished by
d.. Young, Of Florence, TO one of the
foreign medical journals, Of a case OF
poisoning by choral hydrate, and the
complete cure Of the victim by very Sim
pie means. A gentleman took 8 whole
mixture, containing three drachms OF
the salt, instead OF the sixth part, as
ordered. He was in a condition ap-
preaching lifelessness when the doctor
arrived, but by the promps application
OF hot-water bags and bottles to the
stomach and other parts Of the body,
wrapping the legs in warm flannel, and
the administration of extract of meat
with little brandy, after the heart be-
gan to show evidence of Tegaining its
power, the patient was at last complete
ly restored.

from State Senators Upon the
PrOpriety ~ Authorizing Ad-
dftfonaI L6asss.
At the meeting of City Council, last
evening, Mr.. Farrels ordinance au-
thorizing an extraordinary appropria-
tion for the Cool Spring Reservoir was
reported upon by the Law Committee
as n 1t being in its construction in ac-
cordance with the City Charter. AT.
terwards Mr.. Pyle, chairman of. the
Water Committee, offered the follow
ing preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, The amount of money au-
thorized by acts of the Legislature for
the construction of Cool Spring Reser-
yoir has been raised and expended, which
amount, although judiciously and eco
nomically expended, has proved insuffi-
cient for the completion of the reservoir;
and
WHEREAS, The north compartment of
said reservoir, being nearly finished, is
SO far constructed that about $50 900 will
perfect its completion; but if left in its
present partly constructed and exposed
condition through the coming winter the
damage thereto will probably amount to
and cost the city S20,000 more. Therefore
Resolved, That the Law Committee be
and are hereby instructed to have pre-
pared an ordinance to provide for the
raising or borrowing of $4,000 for the
completion of the northern compartment
OF the Cool Spring Reservoir.
Mr.. Pyle moved the adoption OF the
above, but before the vote was taken
MIR. Farrell presented and had read the
following letters from State Senators
Ray and Moore:
NEWARK, DEL, July 9th, 1876.
Hon. Wm. G. Whiteley, Mayor of Whining
ton:
SIR;-Ycur favor of the 4th instant is
at hand, and in reply l would say that
Retrenchment, Economy and Reform
should be the watchwords of every Ame-
rican citizen in public affairs. and more
particularly Of the Democratic party.
Ii a majority of the citizens of Will
the Cool Spring Reservoir is one of the
important improvements that the city
must haze, for public benefit, and the city
has run short of funds and wants fur
ther loan through legislative enactment
to finish it, l cannot see why it should
not be g1anted.
1t would be suicidal for the ax-payers
OF the city to loso 100000 for the want
OF Sl50, 900 to complete a very valuable
and important improvement.
L therefore, with the light now before
me, can see no difficulty in the way of
obtaining legislative sanction.
With great esteem, &C.,
JAMES III. RAY, Senator.

Hon. William G. Whiteley, Mayor of VII

SIR:-Your letter dated the Sd instant
has been received, and in reply will say
that If the interests of your city requires
an increase of your debt for the purpose
of completing the reservoir, and the cit.
izens Of your city desire it, know of no
reason why should hot vote for such a
measure. Unless completed, the reser-
voir will be of little use to the city, and
the money already expended would be
wasted. Yours most respectfully,

Mr.. Farrell made a short speech in
which he denounced the policy of
stopping operations on the basin and
throwing poor men out of work at
this time, and said that but for the ac-
tion of the Law Committee his ordi
nance making an extraordinary appro
priation for the basin would have been
adopted and work commenced within
week.

were then adopted.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CITY soLlCl
TOR.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CITY soLiCI-
TOR.
At the meeting of City Council, last
night, the annual report of the City
Solicitor. Walter Cummins, Esq, was
presented and referred.
After citing the cases received from
the previous Solicitor and since dis.
posed of, the report states that the
Solicitor received from the Auditor,
between NOV. 16.1875 and March 8,
1875, 247 accounts Qiens for paving,
water pipes, &c., aggregating about
$17, 600. OF these, 20 have been paid
in full, one settled by a promissary
note for $347. AZ, due in October next
and others have been partially settled
by judgments made On account.
The total amount of receipts for the
year, including the above note, is $2,-
768.41, or about 164 per cent of the
whole amount of bills received for col
lection. Many of these account were
of long standing, some as long as
eight years.
The collections were delayed on acr
count of the still pending suit of the
heirs of John Montgomery, deceased,
for an injunction to prevent the city
from collecting from the estate of the
said deceased, the assessment for the
construction of the Monroe street
sewer, between Front and Second
streets, on the ground that the city,
without authority, changed the course
o. the stream (ohipley's RUM over
which the sewer was constructed.
Two properties were sold by the
Auditor, for unsettled liens, with good
results in the shape of increased coll
lections voluntarily paid.
The propriety of having the City
Charter amended 80 as to more effec
tually secure the lien of and collection
of the expenses of paving, sewers, &C.
assessed against property owners is
urged. Also, the procuring of a good
index to public records and proceed,
ings, to be included in the minute
book of the City Council.
The report, without being read, was
ordered to be printed.
