A Republican Confession That They

The Louisiana correspondent of the New
York Tribune tells the whole story when
he says that 1.-THE Republicans do not deny
that majority of the votes actually pol
led are against them, but they assert that
under the law they will be able to prove
that several parishes we're carried by the
Democrats by intimidation and violence,
and that when the votes from these
parishes are rejected, as they will be legal
ly, Hayes and Packard will be found to
have carried the state" In other words,
history is to be compelled to repeat itself.
In 1872, "a majority of the votes actually
polled" was against the Republicans; YET
the Republican ticket was counted in. In
1874 "a majority of the votes actually
polled" was again against it, and again il
was counted in. The independent press
of the north each time denounced this
outrage upon the suffrage; and the United
States senate, servile as it is, refused tt
admit any of the senators elected by tht
legislatures that were creatures of thi
shameless fraud. Even Matt Carpente
exposed it, denounced it, and made tn
senate ring with his inyectives. Now thi
great crime is to be committed thir,
time, in order to count in a Republican
president. The same machinery that ha
been twice used to defeat the will of tn
people of Louisiana is now to be used t
defeat the will Of the people of the Who'll
country. Do Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Blain
suppose that the people of either sectio
will submit to it? They have elected MI
Tilden president, and they expect to Sc
the Office vacated to make room for him 9
the time prescribed by the constitution
; Do Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Blaine suppos
that the great northern commonwealth {
New York, Indiana, Connecticut and Ne
Jersey will not do all they can legally do t
see that their electoral votes are not null
fed by fraud at the south? These gentle
men do not seem to be satisfied with th
laundering rebuke they got at the poll
We warn them against provoking anothe
When the people say thing by 10000
majority and by 203 electoral votes, the

The Peoria Democrat saws;

The above telegram from R. G. Inger-
soil to Gov. Kellogg surpasses anything OF
the kind we have seen during the cam.
paign, and plainly proves the Times head
line true, that he was drunk or crazy, most
likely crazy drunk.
The colonel is only re-enacting his earlier
political days over again, for instance as
his Maquon performance where he got SC
drunk he didn't know butter from hash ;ol
his Water street broil when Biddy Mean.
ally left a mark over the colonel's eye with
a vessel more used than talked about; OF
in Lincoln when he slept in the calaboose
for plain drunk.
We only mention these little prominent
episodes in Ingersolrs history to let the
public know Roberts shortcomings semi
occasionally lest they might set him dowr
as a fool for writing the above telegram, (;
thing not exactly the case. He was only
drunk, nothing more, nothing more, moth
ing more!

INTERMITTENT FEVER IS so common in
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grirdstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERS.
