Southeastern States, approves with singu-
lar unanimity the proposition to make Jas.
A Stewart, of Maryland, Vice President
The Rcckport Transcript says: g He is a
man of robust health, of great purity of

scholar and civilian, who would eschew
the conventionalities of red tape and re-
buke with promptness any attempt to rem
der the civil authorities subordinate to the

1851, in the National Congress was perhaps
the sblest effort made in that body in be-

d. A. RYAN, of the Galveston Ne,cs, was
circulating about the Capitol yesterday. 1t
was this same Ryan who figured with Mont
gomery, the chief clerk in the State depart
partment, in abstracting the bid of the
STATESMAN in May, 1874, for public print
ing, and who then gave the items of this
bid to the proprietors of the Nems; all of
which was thoroughly exposed at the time.
Montgomery ran away from the State, and
has never been heard of since, but Ryan
renamed, and putting in his appearance
now, while still on the Netos, makes us
wonder if Montgomery is not about.

Hon. RICHARD COKE was supported by
the entire delegation of extreme Western
Texas. Cards, Hunter, McLeary, Wurz-
bach, Ford, Rogers and Perrenot, repre-
senting the entire border from FL Paso
down the Rio Grande, and along the Gulf
Coast to Corpus Christi, were an unit in his
support. Along this entire line of near
two thousand miles not one representative
man voted against Coke. This shows the
confidence Of the frontier people in Coke,
and he will make them, as he will be for all
Texas, true and brave defender in the
Congress of the United States.

who have ever taken a seat in that body.

majority, in State with only one and a
half millions of people, together with his
State papers that have gained for him a ma

DESPITE the Inter Oceans assertions to
the contrary, no resistance on the part of
citizens will be made to prevent the gov
ernment from taking possession of the Hot
Spring (Ark.) property, and no measures
are taken, nor are any necessary, to fortify
the receiver with military ard. An incen-
diary speech gave rise to the illusion which
was fastened on the public mind North by
the Inter Ocean and other lying Radical

intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re-
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to etIectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,

1t is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. BY renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless Ian
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease OF
life.

MORE OuTLAwRY.-President Grant
sent q company of United States sol.
diers to Petersburg Virginia, on last
Saturday, to assist the scalawags and
carpct-bagges in elccting Radical
Congressman in that District The
President had no moro legal o; moral
right to take that step, than We have
to steal our neighbor's horse, or to
fence in portion Of his farm. More,
he is under oath not to do what he has
done, while private citizens have moth
ing of the kind to restrain them. 1t
is truly amazing to sec the head of tho
government making such strides to-
ward dcspotism. The protest Of the
Governor Of Virginia, and that of tho
Mayor of Petersburg, however, shows
that there are still some officers who
have some respect for the Constitution
and their oath of office. II is well
enough that Grants time is nearly out,
because his policy Of outrage, wrong
and fraud, il continued for another
year, would certainly precipitatc rev.
olution. 'HII
