If there has been any doubt in the
mind of any one as to the mutual
Endorsement of Hayes and Grant,
that doubt may be dispelled on the
authority of that enthusiastic Radi-
cal organ, the Philadelphia Press.

LET Republicans remember that
President Grant is the firm friend of
Governor Hayes as his successor;
that it is to President Grant we look
for the maintenance of all the laws,
North and South, during the presi-
Dental election, and that if the Con
federate Democracy should attempt
to make head against the national
sentiment, we have a man in the
highest Office of the republic who
understands them. We often fee
inclined ourselves to complain Of
President Grant, but when we thinh
of what he did for the republic
when we recall his quiet and unpre

of the rebellion, when we remembe

Richmon Whig: Poor Hayes /!
In his desperation he appeals pa
thetically for just one term, and he
promises never to be in the way
again of other aspirants. It is sin
gular that it never occurred to our
amiable friend, who is serving his
third term as Governor, that the un-
charitable might question his SINGER
ity in adding this additional plank
to the platform of his party. What
could have prompted him to such an
act of marnimity? Was it the res
ult of his experience as a third ter
mer, or of desire to quietly wash
his hands Of all suspicion of Gran
tism, or was it simply a notice to
suffering Blaine-help me this time
and your enemies shall never use me
against you again?

Vicksburg Miss. Herald: We
hear no end of complaints in regard
to the partiality of the clerk of the
weather. Some people complain of
drouth, others of good seasons, and
yet others of too much wetness.
We heard one planter say that he
had fine rain in his front yard,
and not a drop in his back yard,
and his yard is not more than an
acre, either. Another blasphemous
individual from this county said that
on the way to the city a fine rain
fell on his horses tail, while not a
drop fell on the rider.

May not the carefully written re-

Many are careless in the keeping
of the feet II they wash them once
a week they think they are doing
well. They do not consider that
the largest pores are located in the
bottom of the foot, and that the
most offensive matter is discharged
through the pores. They wear
stockings from the beginning to the
end of the week without change,
which become perfectly saturated
with offensive matter. III health is
! generated by such treatment Of the
feet. The pores are not only repel-
lants but absorbents, and feted mat.

taken back into the system. The
feet should be washed every daY
with pure water only, as well as til,
armpits, from which an offensive
odor is also emitted, unless daily
abluton is practiced. Stockings
should not be worn more than ,
day or two at time. They may b
worn one day, and then aired an'

There is but one objection to
Governor Tilden as a presidential
candidate, and that is a quite seri-
GUS one--he is bachelor. The
American people have an impress
sion, deep seated and strong, that
the occupant of the White House
should have that which alone can
give to it the great distinguishing
attraction and Characteristic of
American homes-a wife. Objec-
tion is made to him from all quar-
ters on this score, and it may, there
fore, be safely concluded that he
will remedy it in due time. Hold
ing this opinion, the st. Louis Re
publican suggests that he should Sc
lect his wife from the State which
gives him the largest majority in
November This is a good idea.
1t would put every single female in
every State in the Union actively to
work for him, and would, by reason
of the strength Of the party in this
State, ultimately give the honor t.

New York Herald: A large force
of regular troops is doing duty in
the North and South, guarding forts
that no one threatens, and posts in
the interior that could be as well
occupied by local militia. With the
exception of the points along the
Rio Grande and the scattered forts
in the Southern Indian Territory,
the troops should be withdrawn
from every station east of the Mis-
sissippi and south Of the Arkansas
river. The place for these men is
in the Yellowstone Valley, where
they could be directed in strong and
mobile columns against the hostile
Sioux until that tribe and its allies
are subdued or exterminated. Let
Sheridan take command in person
and send these merciless savages
''whirling up the valley" wherever
he meets them. Let US have none
but rifemen in our cavalry and in

How He Wanted the Balance.

A farmer who had sent bale of
cotton to a warehouse, instruct
ed a merchant to have it sold. The
merchant complied with the re-
quest and the staple was disposed

his statement was heard muttering
to himself, "Drayage, wharfage,
mistakage, storage, leakage, weigh
age, well I'll take the balance out in
fightage." !"
A French physician announces
that distressing or excessive palpi-
tation of the heart can always be
arrested by bending double, the
head down and the arms hanging, so
as to produce a temporary conges-
tion of the upper portion of the
body. In nearly every instance of
nervous or anemic palpitation, the
heart Immediately resumes its natu-
raj function. If the movements of
respiration are arrested during the
action, the effect is still more rapid.

The reductions in the appropria-

appropriations made by the House

ending June 30, 1877, than the sim

Forty tLI:l Congress for the year

something for taxpayers to con

fiercely fought these reductions,
which are in favor ofthe tax payers.

Der of failures for the SIX months
is 1900, against 1868 for the cor
responding six months of last year,
and the amount of these failures is
$IO8,0O0,000, against $76,COO,00o
for the corresponding six months a
year ago. 1t is noticeable, however,
that the greater number of failures
occurred in the first quarter, and
that the last three months, although
showing a much larger number and
amount than the corresponding
three months of the previous year
exhibit decided reduction as com
pared with the first three months oi
this year. This will be welcomed
as at least slight indication that
we have touched bottom.

st. Louis, Feb. 9.--Acting under the
advice of the court, the government
counsel in the Babcock trial to-day
passed over the conspiracy in lS71-72
and produced testimony to show the
existence and operations of the whisky
ring from 1878 to 1875. No direct evil
dencc was brought against Gen. Bab-
cock, the testimony being general in
character, tending to show who were
in the conspiracy and to what extent.
Joseph NJ. Fitzroy was put on the
stand at the opening of the morning
session. Fitzroy was deputy collec-
tor of internal revenue, and after the
departure of Megrue In November,
1872, became the active business man
of the ring. Fitzroy testified that he
met Gen. Babcock once, last Septem-
ber, in this city. Avery introduced
them. 1t was on the occasion of a
visit to this city by the president and
Gen. Babcock. He had not seen Gen.
Babcock before that time. Fitzroy
was then under indictment for COM
plicity in these frauds. The meeting
with Babcock was simply an intro
duction; there was no conversation.
After Fitzroy, Jno. f. Siedentopf,
foreman at Ulrich's distillery, was put
on the stand. There was nothing in
Fitzroy's or Siedentopfs testimony
that has not been published several
times aud it was repeated mainly to
show the existence of a conspiracy.
Previous to the adjournment of the
morning session, Mr.. Storrs stated
that the defense had intended to have
the personal attendance of President
Grant as witness, but as the case
now stands, thought it would not he
necessary, particularly as the exigien-
cies of public affairs require his
