Hon. B. B. DOUGLAS. The Fredericksburg
Star says: Our distinguished representative
and candidate for reelection to the 45th Con-
gress has now almost completed his canvass 10
this fight. He has everywhere been received
in the most enthusiastic manner,-an evidence
of the high appreciation 10 which he 10 held by
his constituents. He has ably and eoquently
advocated the great principles of the demo-
cratic. conservative party, aud has done more
than any other one man 10 the First District
to arouse the people 10 the great danger which
threaten our country BY the continuation OF
radical rule. Now that he has done his duty
so faithfully, it becomes the groat conservative
party to discharge the duties which the gravl-
ty of the peuding issues imposes upon 1t. Ii
the first district must forever be placed beyond
the reach oil radicalism, toe people opposed to
this party mast bic to the polls on the 7th OF
November and exercise the right of suffrage.
1t does not become any man to say that there
are enough votes without nine, it 80 then the
district may be lost. Remember that vigilance
is the price of liberty, aud 90 man should fail
to discharge his duty in this the hour OF our
country's peril "Once- more to the breech,
dear friends" Maj. Douglas will make bis
6oal speech at Brentsvllie, Prince William
county, on next Monday week, aud we have DO
doubt but that lie will be greeted by an I'M
menss crowd of the good people OF that stauDch
Old conservative c0u9ty.

SECRETARY BELKNAP.-This gentleman,
as predicted by us in last issue, has Meth
er been indicted nor imPeached, and the
finding of an Indictment has been pre-
vented by the escape of Marsh, the wit
ness against him, to Canada. The im-
parchment business is heavy affair, and
must move slowly in the nature Of things.
The Belknap case presents a singular
= - ~ : - ~ IIees-e felon, he is
sill beyond LIE reac,i IF the law, and
should the evidence be suppressed by the
fight of the principal witness, he may
yet escape the penalty of his crime. One
man can settle the whole matter, one
word OF immunity from Grant will re-
call Marsh, and if he really desires the
punishment of Belknap, it can be secur-
ed beyond the possibility Of doubt.
VIII that word be spoken? Iii no JUS
LITIGATION on the part of Grant, that a
Democratic Committee was remiss in its
duty and allowed Marsh to escape. This
negligence was perhaps culpable, but
their error can be healed by prompt ac-
ton on the part of the President, and
should he fail to assure Marsh of pardon
on condition that he returns and renews
his expose, he will be guilty Of serious
crime-a grave omission of Il weighty
public duty.

graph operator at the Bourbon stock
yards at Louisville, was arrested Friday
on the charge of forgery. At the pre-
liminary examination il was shown that,
on the 18th of February last, c. W. Cash,
of Garrett county, applied 20 Oliver to
have him inquire Of the selling price Of
cattle in East Liberty, Pennsylvania, and
CovingtOn, Kentucky. Oliver ratified
his instrument and soon gave Cash u
message, saying the market was over
stocked ut both places, and that he had
better sell in Louisville. This Mr.. Cash
did, and he alleges that he lost one thou
sand one hundred dollars. Last week
Cash learned from parties there that they
had sent no dispatch, and the one given
him by Oliver was forged to procure its
price, two dollars and seventy cents.
WASHINGTON, March 15'-The Demo
cratic financial caucus was in session I'M
til nearly twelve O'Clock tonight, and
finally agreed upon the Payne bill by a
vote of siXty-nine TO fOrty-six. This bill
provides for a gradual resumption OF spe-
Gle payments by making il the duty OF
the secretary Of the treasury annually "a
retain in coin an amount equal TO three
per cent. OF the legal-tender notes out
standing, to constitute a resumption
fund, and also requiring the national
| banks to set aside an amount of coin
equal TO three per cent. of their circula
/ ting notes. The bill, in addition, pro
yides for the repeal of 80 much of the spe
| Gle resumption act of January II. 1875
/ as designates the first Of January, 1879
As the date of resumption. Many amend
ments were voted down, including that o
| the minority of the caucus committee TO
/ Il simple repeal of so much of the act o
| 1875 as fixes the first of January, 1879, a
the time fer resumption. This receives
| only fOrty-twO votes.

A BoUGHT CADETsHIP.-Thei nVestiga
ton of the charges against Republican
Congressman Hays, of Alabama, who is
charged with having sold West Point
Oadetship has at last developed the ugly
fact that he appointed Utica On. V
boy who had never lived in Alabama.
This is directly in violation of the revised
statutes, which expressly state that the
appointee shall be a resilient of the dis
trict from which he purports to be APP
pointed. The committee, it is said, have
also seen a s., 900 check which the moth
er of the boy paid to the order of a
Frenchman in New York, and it is assert
ed that this was the consideration which
secured the cadetship, but this has not
been proved and Hays is yet to go before
the committee and "rise and explain, :"
which we trust he will be able to do to
the entire satisfaction of the country.
Hays was gallant confederate soldier,
and although his political course has
been strange and ineomprehensible to US,
yet we would prefer that his name might
escape the odium which present develop
ments in his case would seem to indicate.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTIoN.-The news
from New Hampshire is not reassuring.
and is simply inexplicable in view of the
Belknap exposure and the many other
corruptions certain to be developed
against christian statesmen. The State
has gone republican by an increased ma
jOrity, and Cheney, the present incum-
bent, has been reelected Governor. 1t is
said that the canvass was conducted on
the "blOody shirt issue, and by the bas-
est appeals to sectional preiudices, and
we are not at all surprised to find in this
centennial year that the hatred of the
northern mind still burns with undimin-
ished vigOr, and that no overtures for
peace on our part are sufficient to sup.
press the all consuming fires. The true
Bourbon lives beyond the line and it is the
North alone that refuses to be appeased.
The currency question had nothing to do
with the canvass, since both sides pro-
nOunced in convention for hard money.
The fight then was a square one against
Grantism, which is the synonym for COR
ruptiOn, and it ought to have borne bet
ter fruits. Various apologies will be of
tered for the democratic overthrow, but
we suppose the truth 10 be that the Re
publican heart has undergone no change
and that the serried ranks of the New
Hampshire radicals are rs selid as her
granite hills.

lost their lives Fleeing 10 jackson, they
were formed into a militia company
Amcs's adjutant general, in his tessimO-
nv, admitted that he and the governor
were well aware that this company were
exceedingly obnoxious TO the people of
Clinton; they believed that the company
would be attacked as they marched thrO'
the village; that ther- were several other
companies Of militia, both white and col
Ored, in camp jackson, any one of whom
could have escorted the arms 10 Edwards
Depot without danger, or that the arms
might hardly have been sent By the rail-
road which ran directly from JacksO 10
Edwards, a distance Of twenty miles,
He admitted that citizens of jackson urg-
ed the governor not 10 send Caldwell's
company through Clinton, and that the
company was sent. with the expectation
on the part Of the governor and himself,
that il would be attacked, and, perhaps
cut 20 pieces. After the company started
prominent citizens of Jackson hurried to
Clinton in advance OF them, and urged
and induced the citizens of that village,
who were armed and awaiting their arri-
val TO let them pass unmOlested. Twice
Caldwell and his men marched trium-
phantly through the streets, while Ames
and his adjutant remained placid at
Jackson, in mOmentary expectation OF IT,
dings ola great slaughter ut Clinton,
which they could telegraph to Washing
ton.
Such is n brief statement of the charges
and of the facts upon " hich they are based
as shown by the testimony. Since the
report Of the committee was made two
other acts have been committed by the
| governor, which will, perhaps, be added
/ 10 the charges. He has fatty and posi-
lively refused 10 sign Col. Lanar's eerti-
/ fieate of election to the United States Sen
/ ate, giving as his reason therefor that he
was threatened with impeachment. He
l has undertaken to appoint and has actu-
/ ally issued commissions 10 z number OF
persons as magistrates and eOnstables,
| which offices it is expressly provided,
/ both by the constitution and the statutes,
can be filed only by popular elections
make no comment on the charges made
or the facts proven. Every Impartial
reader will admit that simple recital Of
them makes a damaging, if not dam
ming exhibit against the governor.

Promnt Reinforcement.

When the physical energies are over
tasked or flag through weakness or dis
ease, they used prompt reinforcement.
Renewed viSor Is most speedily supplied
through the medium Of a tonic stimulant
and among medicinal resources Of that
class, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as
suredly deserve a prominent place.
Weakness, whether constitutional or
arising from disease or Overfatigue, can
not be better compensated for than by 4
resort to this prime Strengthening cOrdi-
al The unfeebled invalid, the cOnTa-
descent end the aged and infirm find that
it is an unfailing source Of vigOr and
comfort. Its combined tonic and altera-
tive properties also constitute il an in
valuable remedy for Indigestion, weak
ness of the organs Of urination constipa-
ton, torpidity of the liver, and many
other Irregularities and disabilities, and
render it an invaluable protection against
malaria, as well a. disorders of the stom-
aeh and bowels.

The STATE CONVENTIONAL friend has
suggested to us that it would be best as
matter of policy for the State Executive
Committee not to call convention to
nominate a candidate for Governor until
as late as August next, and that times
are too hard and money too scarce TO be
expended in attending ts0o conventions,
and that therefore the Executive Com
mittee ought to appoint delegates to the
National Democratic Convention at st.
Louis, on the 9th of June, and thereby
supersede the necessity of calling con-
vention for that purpose. He argued
that the committee being a small body,
and acting in advance of any political
excitement, would be more likely to Sc
lect suitable set of delegates than the
convention itself, and would be less I'M
der the influence of political and perso-
nal rings, which all canvasses engender.
We imagine Gov. Porter would not de-
sire to be precipitated into any early can
vass of the State. 1t is herculean task
and taxes to their utmost tension both
mind aad body, and the shorter it can be
made, with due regard to party organiza-
ton, it seems to us would be altogether
proper. Besides in Tennessee, politics
are exceedingly unsettled, and we may
say truly, "withOut form and void" 1t
therefore behooves the democratic lead
ers to act with caution and conservatism.
We must confer together, exchange views
and agree to harmonic, if possible, about
the State debt, the currency, and other
matters of mere policy which do not in
volve any principle, yet they are decep-
tive enough in their prominence to mis-
lead the masses, and in our opinion, the
calling of State convention at an early
day, the result of which would be the
nomination of Governor and the enun-
citation of platform of principles would
be premature and might perhaps lead to
dangerous complications in the future.
Let the National Convention first speak
as one having authority and we can re-
spond as the emergencies of the times
and the situation may require. We may
make haste by going slowly.

Senator Kelly prese nted a petition from
the citizens of Kansas in relation TO In
dian depredations. Referred.
Senator Wright, from the committee
on claims, reported adversely on certain
claims fer damages arising from Nor
CAMS raid, and asked that the committee
be discharged from further consideration
on the subject. Agreed to.
Senator Cochran, from the committee
on claims, reported adversely on the
claim of Thos. p. Jourdan. Adopted.
The bill 10 incorporate the Citizens
building association, of Washington, was
taken up, when Senator Ingalls, explain
ed the provisions of the bill. and said that
the general law of ordinary partnerships

have the liabilities clause added. After
considerable discussion the amendments
of Senator Ingalls, were agreed to and the
bill was passed.
\ bill was passed to exclude Missouri
from the provisions of the act to promote
the development of the mining resources
of the United States; also, u bill 10 furth-
or the administration of justice in Colo

Hon. THOs. II. PAINE.-Elsewhere in
this issue 4 correspondent presents the
name of this gentleman rs a suitable can
didate for Congress in this district, and
bases his claims upon his acknowledged
fitness for the place and the old democrat
ic rule of rotation i'm office. Mr.. Paine
VIII be remembered by our reIders as the
efficient speaker of the State Senate, and
where he lives no man staRds higher or
is better entitled to the confidence and
esteem of the entire community. His
name will awaken unusual enthusiasm
in the river counties and his nomination
would bring out large popular vote, 1t
is not to be denied that the south end of
tbs congressional district has a right to
be heard in behalf of any candidate she
may deem worthy, aud we hope the peo-
pie who are embraced in this part of the
district, will take the proper steps to be
represented in the congressional conven-
ton, and to make their numerical superb
ority alike felt and appreciated.

bic rival of Vanderbilt and Jay Gould in

IMPEACHMENT or GOVERNOR AMEs.-It
Is no light matter to impeach the Cover
nor Of a sovereign State, and thereby dis
qualify him for holding office again. But
we do not see how the Mississippi Legis-
iature can escape the impeachment of
Ames, and we have presented at length
the various charges against him so that
our friends may understand what grave
causes have moved the people of Missis-
sippi to get rid of such a political mon
strosity. One by one the earpet-bag
rulers topple to their fall, and in few
years, only the damning record of their
lniamy Will remain to show that these
birds OF prey ever fattened on our body
