The Case Of Fitzhugh.

We confess that we have some sympa-
thy with the eX-Doorkeeper Of the House
of Representatives. Fitzhugh is an in
jured man. He has been expelled from
his high place not for any wrong that he
has done, or any evidence that he has
gwen Of IncapacIty, but merely for the
crime of being found out. He is just the
same representative Democrat now that
he was last December when they brought
him on from Texas and made him " a
bigger man than old Grant" And the
House of Representatives has not learned
anything new about his character or his
abilities. Does any one suppose that the
honorable members, when they used TO
break for him" on the floor, and tug at
his skirts, and cover him with attentions,
did not know what sort of man he was?
Mr.. Cox, who was so fond of hlm-is it
conceivable that he did not understand
FitZhugh? The Kerrs, who had him to
tea, the scores of eminent Democratic
statesmen who lavished demonstrations of
affection upon him as long as he had a
place to give away-does anybody believe
that the revelations of the celebrated Let
ter to Friend in Texas surprised them?
Not bit They were not deceived in
Fitzhugh they never would have discov-
cred imprOpriety in him if his letter had
not set the country laughing, not so much
ut him as at Them. And so, feeling
themselves ridiculous, they solemnly re.
solve that Mr.. Fitzhugh is not a proper
person to guard their gates, and bid him
go away somewhere and keep out of sight.
We are not surprised that Mr.. Fitzhugh
refuses TO be suppressed in this unjust and
summary manner. He is what nature,
the State of Texas and the Democratic
party made him-nO worse now than he
was when the House Of RepTes entatiyes
chose him as the most senseless and fit
man to be doorkeeper; and he declares
that for the outrage and insult put upon
him the members who voted to depose
him shall pay dear. He has carloads OF
incriminating " documents He will
have us to know that he was not always
driving the spanking pair Of horses, or
taking tea at Mr.. Kerr's, or embracing
Mr. Cox. He kept his eyes wide open
and his fingers always timber, and he has
laid away many bit of scandal that will
make sensation when he unloads his
budget Mr.. FitZhugh announces that he
is now about to tell all he knows, and that
as a consequence several members of the
House will be compelled to retire perma-
nently from Washington society. Mr.,
Fitzhugh is quite right, Justice and self
respect alike require that he should let
the world know what sort of persons his
censors are; and if Congress is injured by
the disclosure, Congress will have only
itself to thank for it.-N Y. Tribune.

The M ShOt.Gnn" Policy.

The South lacks money, capital and
prosperity. 1t was lacking these things
when immigrants, since the close of the
war, were pouring by the ten thousand
into all parts of the West; when the hand
of development was performing wonders
on our prairies; when Chicago-a marvel
of recuperation-was springing into new
existence from the ashes of her scarcely
paralleled cOnfagration. 1t will lack
these things so long as the Shotgun"
policy shall continue to murder peace,
repose and security throughout whole
tier of States.
Industry, the foundation of all accumu-
latiOns and of all material progress, never
did, and never can, thrive where the life
of the laborer and the rewards of eXer-
ton are unsafe. Law and order are es-
sential to the production ofwealth. With
out these guardians OF society the utmost
profusiOn of natural resources will Nc
neglected and remain unappropriated
treasures. It's so with the South. Taking
Chattanooga as a center, and embracing
the area within radius of 100
miles, we shall find modern
Ophir OF diversified mineral opulence.
Iron, copper, lead, gold, sulphate OF
baryta, marble, coal, limestone, granite,
slate, timber-these are only partial list
of the natural treasures possessed by that
region in the most abundant quantities.

This advice should be especially needed
by those who suffer from an irregular habit
Of body or disorders of the bladder or kid

inestinable corrective upon the bowels
differs widely from that OF drastic purga-
tive, since II Is never violent or abrupt, but

healthful impetus which 1t gives to diges-
tion also renders 1t a most desirable general

Mr.. Blaine Makes Another Convincing
Statement.

Mr.. Blaine made a statement under
oath before the House Cohmittee yester-
day concerning the package brought to
him from Arkansas by Robinson, and in
the most clear and convincing manner ex.
planned that circumstance. The package
fetched by Robinson contained va.
rious maps and plats of certain coal
lands in Arkansas which Mr.. Blaine
had thought of investing in, and con.
tanned no bonds of any kind Further.
more, Mr.. Blaine repeated under oath his
recent statement on the floor of the House
in connection with the Arkansas bond
story, and when he had finished there was
not peg left on which to hang doubt
that the charges and rumors were abso
lutely without foundation.-Chicdgo Trib

DIR. scHExoK's Pu1MoN1o SYRUP, SEA

DIR. SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA
WEED TOXIC AND MANDRAKE PuIs.-These med
icines have undoubtedly performed more cures of
Consumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and, If taken freely
by consumptive patients, it must do great injury;
for It's tendency Is to conne the morbid matter in
the system, which, Of course, must make cure
impossible. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain a particle Of opium. 1t ia
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs which
act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretons and expel all
the diseased matter from the body These are the
only means by which Consumption can be cured.
and, as Schencks Pulmonic Syrup Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, it is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary COnsump-
ton. Each bottle Of this Invaluable medicine IL

National Thrift.

THREE things are growing more appar-
ent to us every day, viz: lst. That there
cannot be any genuine and permanent
restoration of National thrift until we get
upon specie basis. I'd. That we have
already reached point in the process Of
general liquidation which renders vigor-
Gus effort in that direction opportune and
hopeful of success; and Sd. That the
sooner we begin the march toward that
goal Of safety the better IrresolutiOn is
wasting our strength and consuming our
substance. Courage to encounter and
energy to surmounl the difficulties that lie
before us are the supreme needs Of the
hour. To retreat is impossible TO stand
still is destructive. To press forward is
the only alternative left us. Let us at
least use all the endeavors in our power
to create sound public opinion on a
matter of such paramount importance TO
every citizen ofthe Republic. We have a
teemipg soil, enormous capacities for pro-
duction, latent resources of which only
restored confidence can give us an
adequate conception, and all the appli-
ances for gradually renewing the wealth
which fire and war and extravaganza
have so seriously diminished. Shoe and
