Catarrh, in its extent and destructive force stands
next to Consumption and is closely allied to it, for in
certain constitutions the transition from one to the
other is only question of time 1t is therefore
singular thing that those afflicted with it should not
make it the object of their lives to rid themselves of
it. A single bottle of any remedy cannot, in the
chronic STAGE effect even bring the system
under its influence fully. In many such cases the
bones and cartilage OF the eaten away, the
organs of hearing of SEEING and of tasting affected
as to be rendered useless the uvula elongated and
infamed as to produce constant and distressing
cough. The return to health must necessarily be
slow, under the most favorable circumstanc when
seriously afflicted; but the evidence OF its great
value daily comes to hand, we become more and
more satisfied that there does not exist of Ca
tarrh that cannot be cured by a judicous and per-
TARRH. The relief in every case obtained from the
first dose is an indication of what it will do when the
system is brought constitutiOnaly under its influence.

Longing.
BY LOWELL

OF all the myriad moods of mind
That through the soul come thronging,
Which one was e'er so dear, SO kind,
So beautiful as longing?
The thing we long for, that we are,
For one tTanscendant moment;
Before the present, poor and bare,
Can make its sneering comment.
Still through our paltry stir and strife
Grows down the wished ideal;
And longing molds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real.
To let the new life in, we know,
Desire must ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing 10 be SO
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing Is Gods fresh heavenward will,
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench it that we may be still
Content with merely living;
But would we learn that hearts full scope
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope,
And realize our longing.

lHE GENEVA AWARD.

1t is conceded that there will be large
surplus Of the Geneva award, after paying
all the direct claims. This unexpected
result is brought about by several causes.
The court Of Alabama claims has been, as
a general thing, much less liberal in its
judgments than an international court
would have been. In giving the value of
merchandise destroyed it has taken, in all
cases, the naked cost at the place of pur-
chase, whereas it might have given the
\ actual value at the place where owned.
But the existence Of a very large surplus Of
the fund is not to be laid at the door of the
court alone; the Forty third Congress is
still more responsible for it. They have
directed the payment in currency. whereas
gold was received from Great Britain, and
they have authorized the payment of four
per cent. interest, whereas the Govern
ment recovered six per cent. The princi-
pal amount awarded at Geneva was, in
round numbers, $40, 1s1, 900 in gold. and
interest upon that was computed at the
rate of six per cent. per annum for eight
years eight and half months, making the
sum of S., 2SS, 2a2. so as interest, or as
principal and interest, SIS, ,4O9, 222. so, and
the tribunal reported the round sum of
S1j, 100000 in gold coin. This whole
amount has been drawing interest since it
was paid into the Treasury of the United
States at the rate of five per cent. per an
mum, or at the rate Of more than seven and
half per cent upon the principal sum of
$40, lei 900, and yet the last Congress, for
some unknown reason, fixed the interest
to be paid upon claims at four per cent. per
annum
4 bill to pay the judgments with-inter-
est at four per cent. has passed the House
of Representatives this session and is now
pending in the Senate. 1t IS suggested
that the Senate may amend the blu, fixing
the rate of interest at six per cent, which
would certainly be just, not only on the
ground that the Government recovered
that interest for its citizens, but on the
further ground that the money was col
lected in gold. and is to be paid out in cur
rency, dollar for dollar The extra two
per cent. would. in most of the cases in
court, no more than reimburse claimants
for the heavy expense they have been put
to in presenting and proving up their
claims. In view Of possible large sur
plus TO be returned to England, it Ger
tainly stands Congress in hand to meet
claim upon it so entirely just and proper
as this additional two per cent.
1t is customary in all courts for costs to
follow the judgment, and Congress could
with great propriety, independent of this
additional interest, direct the repayment
to litigants of disbursements in taking and
printing testimony. But the very least
that ought to be done in the premises is to
make the interest six per cent. instead Of
four In truth and in fact, interest at six
per cent. and costs ought both to be paid. If
there had not been funds enough the
judgments would have been satisfied by
pro rata payments, and now, since the
funds are ample, the judgments should be
paid in full
National Republican., 1876-01-31

THE young man with "the Powerful
Mind, who writes in the Tall Tower over
New York beer saloon, seems to be envi-
GUS Of the reputation acquired by his neigh
Dor, 1.-THE Pirate of the Press" For some
years past it has been considered mark of
distinction to be abused by the Sun, and
nothing could be more mortifying to an
honorable man than its praise. The Tribune
is apcing the Sun in its wholesale abuse,
and is even more careless as to facts upon
which 10 found its disreputable ISLANDERS.
One of its latest efforts is dispatch from
this city in regard TO Senator Dorsey's
bankruptcy, in which there is a base insin-
alton as to one of his creditors. The taste
which leads paper to comment upon
man s financial mislOrtunes is no less ques-
tionable than would be that which made
ones personal deformities the subject of
an article; but when in addition a lie is
insinuated, sinister motives may beassumed.
As Jay Gould owns the Tribune, and is
now fighting through its editorials to main
tain his tOttering fortunes and his trans
Continental railroad monopoly, the infer
ence is that he is prostituLing the news
columns as he already has the editorial
ones for that purpose, and hence strikes at
Senator Dorsey, as he did at Senator West,
because he is known TO favor any means
that will rid the country of that monopoly.
The Tribune will soon surpass the Sun in
this peculiar branch of journalism, of which
the two now have monopoly.
National Republican., 1876-01-31

is the most wonderful view of accounta-
bility that was ever heard OF. We are not
of those who believe that Government
clerks are necessarily criminals or idiots.
We believe that the latitude allowed their
superiors in their prompt removal for, or
without, cause is broad enough already,
and that they are harassed by every petty
scheme of economy and political aggression
until their bread and butter turns to gall in
their very mouths. We are tempted to cry
out in their behalf that if Congressman
were only required to be half as immacu-
late as the clerks are we should see no more
divisions or hear no more sounds of dis
cord in either House. The sum of the
matter is this Claim agents caa be fairly
made TO make known their designs, under
penalty. They can be justly made TO give
bonds for their practice. The higher Off
cials can protect, and should protect, the
clerks, and thus the responsibility of fol-
lowing the claim business before any of the
Departments would be put just where it
belongs. As the Democrats are making
wholesale efforts not only to defeat Repub-
licans but to impose all sorts of proscriptive
pains, perhaps this is an effort to punish
after death, by providing that when the
present corps Of Republican clerks shall
pass under the sod they shall not even
have the poor privilege of coming back to
look upon the fat lands where they ere
while had such bounteous feasts of patron
ace and persecution.
