Troops i'm the South,

The demand of the President for
more troops has stimulated represen-
tative of the New Y ork Herald to en-
quire into the records of the War De-
partment, to find out the number of
companies stationed ID. the Southern
States. Hefinds thatthere arein Texas,
45 companies of infantry and 26 COM
panies of cavalry; in Louisiana II
companies of infantry; in Mississippi
10 companies of infantry in South
Carolina 8 companies Of infantry and
? companies of artillery; in Florida 8
companies of artillery; in Georgia Z
companies of infantry and l company
of artillery; in Alabama 5 companies
of infantry; in Virginia ) compan les
of artillery; in North Carolina COM
panies of artillery; in Tennessee 3com-
panies of infantry and in Arkansas 2
companies of infantry, making total
of l3S companies.
By a strict reading of the law there
is no authority for the presence of
troops in the Southern States at this
time. The Supreme Court has decid-
ed that the Enforcement Act is uncon-
stitutiOnal. This was the only author
ty the President had for sending por-
tons Of the United States army to any
State in. the Union, without the appli-
cation of its Governor or Legislature,
and then only when the militia is una
BILE to suppress the disturbance, that
demands the interference of Federal
authority.

THE CHRONICLE FOR THE CAM
PAIGN.

In view of the approaching presi-
dental campaign, it is to be anticipa-
ted that an increased demand will
arise for prompt and accurate politi-
cal intelligence. With view of sup
plying this demand, we desire to say
that we shall always In future, as in
the past, endeayor to keep up with
the exigences of the times; all infor-
nation in regard to both the presi-
dental campaign and the county can
vass will be given with promptitude
and accuracy to the utmost of our
ability, and the comments which we
may feel called upon to make on the
events which may arise will be dicta-
ted by the same principles which have
hitherto been our guide. These are
the vigorous advocacy of REFORM and
uncomprOmising hostility to corrup-
ton in Federal affairs, maintaining
our adhesion to the cause of Tilden
and Hendricks, who were our choice
as candidates for the Presidency long
before the convention at st. Louis
and in State politics the conscientious
maintenance of the credit of the State.
Our subscription list is at this time
larger and more lucrative than it has
been since our journal was first offered
to the public in 1888, and to adverti-
sers we may say without presumption.
that no better medium of publicity
can be procured throughout this re-

Hands Off the SOuth.

In this canvass one demand should
be made by all who love their country
irrespective of party sentiment-let
Grant take his heavy hand off the
South. 0four soldiers we may say to
him as Richard III said to Stanley /:
What do they in the South when they
should serve their country in the West?
Why should Mississippi be strongly
garrisoned while troops are wanted to
fight Sitting Bull in Dekota and all
that region which is now threatened
With long, cruel and possibly disast-
rous war? Senator Bayard in a recent
debate showed how Mississippi has
suffered under one of the worst State
governments ever known, and how
much moderation and wisdom are want
cd to enforcethe much needed reforms.
The views of Mr. BayaFd are not ex-
treIKe in this ease. Mississippi and
the whole South indeed, are orderly
enough, and Presidential campaign
Is not the time when large bodies of
troops should be stationed in any State
when they are needed to fight the COM
mon enemy. There is dividing line
between caution and rashness, and we
hope the administration may End it.

Bishop MarYin,s Farewell.

An interesting service was held last
evening at st. Johns M. L. Church,
c0rnerof EWing avenue and Locust
street, being farewell to Bishop Mar
vim, who is about to take trip around
the world. 1t having been decided by
general Conference of the. Methodist
Episcopal Church that some Bishop
should 'be selected to go to China
and visit the missions there with
a view to ascertaining their needs
and studying the best mode of supply
ing them, the choice fell upon Bishop
Marvin, and tonight he expects to
start on the journey which will probas
bly, take him round the earth before
he returns. The church was crowded
last evening, and the occasion was
made most affecting one. Several
clergymen oficiated. DIR. Bond con-
Quoted the opening exercises, and Rev.
w. v. Tudor delivered an address, in
which he explained the nature of Bish-
OPP MarVin's projected work, and also
the situation of the India missions as
it is understood Rev. D. Lewis and
Bishop Kavanaugh were also present.
Communion service was held and par
ticipated in by remarkably large

Coffee Growing in the South.

According to the report of the Bu-
reau of Commerce and Navigation, the
consumption of coffee in the United
States in 1872 was 239. 735, 839 pounds,
at valuation of SOC, lac. 339, the larger
portion, 194, 218,511 pounds, being from
Brazil. The large sums which we ray
annually bring In little or no reciprocal
returns, and it is proposed that we shall
devote attention to the cultures of the
berry in our GuH Statesa Coffee de-
riEes Its name from Kaffa, a districtin
Southern Abyssinia, Wherc it grows
wild and has been in use since remote
times. The plant grows at an altitude
as high as 5000 feet above the sea
level, and thrives in warm situations
upon slopes of bills, easily drained,
but viii not flourish where the Their
mometer is below 50 degrees, and the
coffee producing belt of the world lies
between the isothermal lines of lati-
itude % degrees North, and 30
degrees South. There is cold
season IN Abyssinia from October
to February with a mean temperatuFel
of So degrees, and the soil produces
barley, wheat, maize, cotton and sugar.
In Georgia and Alabama, in the south
western section of one and the south
eastern Of the other, Is soil that pro-
duces all Of these as readily as in
Abyssinia, and would, no doubt, grow
coffee. The effort to establish the Gull
ture of coffee in California is making
Roadway, and if the crop gets fairly
established there, it will become in a
few years a great and permanent inter
est. The Same thing can be done GU
the Atlantic coast.

Statement by Charles Francis Adams.

With Mr.. Tilden and this platform,
the Democratic party staads better
morally, before the people, than does
the Republican party. Hayes is moth
ing; respectable, no doabS,. but with
out any record as a retormer. Tiiden
is in himself platform. He has made
his record Of the two l would inf
uitely prefer to see Mr.. Tilden in the
executive chair. Governor Tilden will
secure the support of the opponents of
corruption who desire to see the real
work accomplished. The Republican
platform is weak, especially in the finan-
cial plank. This was an endeavor to
catch the soft" and hard" money
men. The issue of the campaign with
Tilden at the head of the Democratic
party, is made very doubtful. 1t will
be hard fight. Tilden's war record,
Is a good one. He is all right there.
As President. Mr.. Tiiden would sweep
away corrupt men aud abuses. =

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
[ edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are cpstive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally aconsiderable loss
ofmemory, accompaniedwith pain
full sensation Of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofweariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prick1y sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distruStS every rem
edy. Several of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
