Republican Truths.

1t was remarked by many thoughtful
people, who rejoiced at the gains IN the
New Hampshire election, that the Repub-
licans of that State were men who inter-
ested Themselves in political affairs; who
understood the bearing of current events I;
and who were capable of forming an
opinion upon the great questions OF the
day, little, if any way, inferior to persons
who stood prominent in the party and were
regarded as statesmen.
This is high praise, and nothing has oc-
CURED to detract from it. 1t would be
well for Republicans everywhere to imi-
tate so good an example. Let them watch
the progress of public thought Let them
reflect on the grand principles Of their
party, and the glorious record it hts
achieved and never for one moment to
forget the great object the Republican
party has in view, viz: To render secure
the Union of the states; to establish free

the equal rights of all men as citizens be-

view, il will not be out Of place to put for

the campaign of 1876 must be fought with

This is often q serious question with tue
invalid. He finds the market Hooded with
proprietary medicines scores OF which are
recommended as certain cures for his pecul-
lar ailment lie reads the papers circulars,
and almanacs, and finds each sustalnsa by
plausible arguments setting forth It's virtues
and specific action, The recommendauons
are as strong for one as for another. The
cures claimed to have been wrought by one
are as wonderful as those claimed TO have
been wrought by another In his perplcXity
and doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led to
reject all. But it should be borne in mind
that this condition of things Is one that can
not be remediCd. In aland where all are free,
the good-the truly valuable--must come
into competition with the vile and worth
less, and must be brought to public notice
by the same instrumentality, which is ddUtr-
sing. In such case, perhaps the only alb
to be, is to try It, The "test of pudding
is the eating of it," "Prove all things, hold
fast that which is good" is the apostolic in
junction. There may, however, be stronger
presumptive evidence in favor Of one rene,

this should be allowed its due weight A
due regard to this may save vast amount
of experimenting and useless outlay oil

of DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines, the

The Massacre in Louisiana.

Elsewhere will be found lettef from
gentleman residing in West Feliciana,
La, the scene of the recent negro massa-
ere. 1t is the old and ott-repeated story
once again, story that ought to make ev-
cry decent American citizen hang his head
in shame-men murdered by the score
horribly, brutally murdered, for no cause
under heaven save desire on the part of
the murdeTers to rule themselves, and be
governed by their own wants and necessi-
ties. The Inter- Ocean called attention to
this massacre at the time of its occurrence !;
and when the press dispatches were an
nouncing that the colored people were in
arms, threatening to murder the entire
white population, we said then that the re-
suit would be an indefinite number of
negroes killed, without the loss probably
of single white man. And so it proves.
About sixty colored men were slain, more
than that driven from their homes, their
families abused, and, so far as we can yet
learn, not white person injured. This
is the plain record that lies before us. We
ask intelligent, humane, merciful people
of every shade of opinion if this is not
horrible? Shall we coolly sit down in the
face of such outrages as these, and do
nothing to protect these prosecuted men
and women who look to the Government
for aid? Can the sneering howl of the
" bloody shit" and the mocking laugh
of those who dwell in safety, protected in
their rights, stifle the cry that goes up
from these defenseless people of the
South? Shall deeds like these continue
without notice, without punishment, while
we reward and fawn upon the agents and
favorites of the bloody wretches who COM
nit them? lfso, the people of this coun :
try who have the cause of liberty and
humanity at heart may well express the
fears of Jefferson, uttered many years ago,
and tremble for their country when they
reflect that God is just, and that His
justice cannot sleep forever Chicago

Democracy is a party of reform. II never
can be under its present leaders. There
was little reform till the Republican party
came into power, when its measures laid
the foundation for the country's greatness,
and its rise in wealth and power. True
refOrmers must be looked for among those
who were true when the Nation was inn
periled and rs Republicans were tfue to

introduce the reform made necessary to
lift the people out of the results of the
Democratic war.

their denunciations at that class of Re-
publican leaders who struck the rebels
hardest during the war, and who since its
close have been working to the end that
the conquest over the enemies of the
Republic might not be so barren that its
repetition would only be question of
time. This is language of serious i'm
port, and demands the attention of the
people. Republicans are warned t0 dis
regard these attacks, in order that they
may devote their energies in the fullest
manner to the great work in hand. Had it

publicans are tenacious of purpose because
they are patriotic.
Do not be deluded by the pretensc of
conciliating the South. The South by its
rebellion sought to cripple, dismember
and inflict irreparabe injury on the coun-

Southern men who must show that they
are prepared for it. On this point prom

And the sunbeams drop their gold.

Vegetable Mold Prevents Leachlng.

Almostall thin soils are peculiarly sub
ject TO "leaching," that is to having their
goodness washed through them. The
remedy is to make soil full Of fine mold
To this end the land must have crop
upon it all the time. A growing CROP
fills the soil with roots. The roots de-
compose and form mold Red clover is
pre- eminent as a matchmaking and soil
making plant. Buckwheat is useful
chiefly when it is plowed under Corn
sowed as for fodder, being scattered in ev-
cry third furrow when blowing, may be
plowed under, or 1t may be cut and fed
or cured; in either case it is beneficial.
The roots and stubs make great mass of
mold in the soil, and where il is all made
use Of as green manuring, the result Is
most satisfactory. Turnips cover the land
quickly, and If plowed under are of
marked benefit. In any event they pre-
vent the growth of weeds, and as summer
following is always detrimental to such
land, quick-growing green manure crops
are our only resource, for by their use we
work the soil, we kill the weeds, and i'm.
prove the land, all at the same time and
with little labor. american Agricultu'ist.

WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PmLs.-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 somewhat
dangerous drug In all cases, and, II taken freely
by consumptive patients, 1t must do great injury;
for its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in
the system, which, of course, must make cure
impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain q particle Of opium, II is
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions and expel all
the diseased matter from the body. These are the
only means by which Consumption can be cured.
