These are some of the leading evidences of

were the occasion of my call upon the Presi-
dent for military aid Tho facts presented
are clearly proved. and the conclusions
reached are, think, sustained by the facts.
They make case amply warranting my call
and the Presidents response. To have done
less would have been TO abandon the chief

mitted domestic violence and instruction TO

NR BLAISE's OPINION As TO HIS FAILURE To
SECURE THE NOMINATION.
WASHINGTON. June l7.-Mr Blaine SAYS
the immediate cause OF the failure of his
friends to secure bis nomination was the
holding back Of tho votes for him from
Pennsylvania alter the third ballot. This
Mr. Blaine attributes 70 the fictitious
strength temporarily lent to Hartranit
from time to time by the COnkliug forces.
which made it possible for a majority OF
the Pennsylvania delegation to urge that
their candidate could not properly be
dropped while he was still apparently gain
ing votes. Mr.. Blaine sent to Messrs Ham
lin. Hale, Frye ard Stevens the following
despatch Bear to all my frien6s who
have 80 nobly and devOtedy stood by me

Senators Morton and Conkling and Secre
tary Bristow appear perfectly calm this

SECRETARY BRIsTOw's RESIGNATION.
Secretary Bristow on the first of the pres
ent month advised the President cf his in
tsntion to resign. but not until after the
Cincinnati Convention, because to do SO
before might be construed as political
movement. His reasons for resigning are
purely personal, his private Affairs being in
such condition Us to require his attention.
No successor has yet been Designated lie
Will retire at the end OF this month.

NH. The Constitution confers upon
Congress sovereign power over the Terri
tories OF the United States for their govern
ment, and in the exercise Of this power it is
the right and duty of Congress to prohibit
and extirpate in the Territories that relic OF
barbarism, polygamy and we demand such
legislation as will secure this end and the
supremacy of American institutions in all
the Territories.
XIV The pledges which our nation has
given to our soldiers and sailors mus; be
fulfilled. The grateful people will always
regard those who periled their lives for the
conntry's preservation in the kinaest re-
membrance
XV. We sincerely deprecste all sectional
feeling and tendencies. We therefore note
with deep solicitude that the Democratic
party counts as its chief hope of success
upon the electoral vote of united South,
secured through the efforts OF those who
were recently arrayed against the nation,
and We invoke the earnest attention Of the
country to the grave truth that a success
thus achieved would reopen sectional strife
and imperil the national honor and human
rights.
XVI. We charge the Democratic party as
being the same IN character and spirit as
when it sympathized with treason, and
with making its control of the House OF
Representatives the triumph and opportu-
nitv of the nations recent foes; with reas-
serting and applsudIng in the National
Capitol the sentiments OF unrepentsnt re-
bellion with sending Union soldiers to the
rear with deliberately proposing TO repu-
diate the blightei faith OF the Government.
with being equally false and imbecile upon
the overshadowing financial question; with
thwarting the ends of justice by its parti
san management and obstruction of inyesti-
CATION; with proving itself, through the
period of its ascendency in the Lower House
OF Congress, utterly Incompetent TO admin
lister the Government. We warn the cOun-
try against trusting party alike unworthy,
recreant and incapable.
XVII. The National Administration mer-
its commendation for its honorable work N
the management of domestic and foreign
affairs, and President Grant deserves the
continued and hearty gratitude Of the
American people for his patriotism and his
immense services in war and in peace.

most straightforward. upright men that
ever lived.
Senator Morton said the nominations
were excellent and the success OF the ticket
assured.
Senator Conkling said the ticket was an
excellent one. IL know Gov. HAYES per-

In giving his opinion Of the ticket Seere-
tary Bristow was. If possible, even more en-
thuslastic than Senator Coukling. He eulo-
gized Hayes and said that he teleeraphed
two days ago to Gen. Harlan to transfer
his (Bristow's) delegates to Hayes as soon
as he deemed 1t ezpedIent. The platform
he thought was excellent, although in his
opinion the hard money platform was not
quite so hard as it might have been.

A Cure for Colds In the Head.

remedy of very great value. 1t is a snuff

ingredients Hydro-chlorate of NOR

drachms trisntrate of bismuth, six drachms
the whole making up quantity of powder
of which from one-quarter to one-half may
be safely taken, if necessary, in the course
Of twenty-four hours.
DR.. Ferrier says that with this snuff he
has twice cured himself of very violent colds,
once, indeed, by taking trisnitrate of bis
muth alone, which is a very powerful remedy

Is the most important ingredient in this
snuff. DR.. Ferrier mentions two other per-

same snuff, and to these instances We may
add that OF the present writer, who, having
very violent cold coming on, with the sensa-
tion of weight in the temples and the usual
disagreeable feeling in the throat, as well
as ordinary catarrh, made trial of DR.. Fer

Nor ANY FOR HM-This is the season
when advertisements ofrefrigerators and ice
chests spread out in newspaper like mort
gage on small corner lot. 1t was adyertis-
ing in the Free Press that attracted a Nan
kin farmer into Detroit and into Wood
ward avenue hardware store yesterday.
When he mentioned the fact that he would
like a refrigerator the proprietor welcomed
him with SUNNY smile and the clerks cheer
fully barked their shins against the stoves
as they flew around.
"Wlll YOU look at these ice-chests?" ask
ed the proprietor as they came long row.
What do want to keep a chest
for? growled the farmer. "What want
is something to keep the provisions cool and
nice in hot weather"
"Well, here you have it. Here is the
best refrigerator made"
The farmer opened the doors, looked the
box over and around, and seemed much
pleased with it. Presently he inquired:
"W hats the principle of the thing-how
does she cool of the provisions?"
lyon put your ice right in here, shut the
box and away she goes" was the reply.
''Iee,'' gasped the farmer.
"Why, Of course. You can't run re-
frigeratur without ice, can your"
The farmer turned without a word, walk
down stains and out to his wagon, and was
getting in when the hardware man hurried
up and asked
What's the matter ?'
"Do you think Fun four-cornered fool p
howled the agriculturist. ''Do you think
I'm going to buy that high-priced provision
asylum and then keep ice, too?''
