Tn. ,.u.,,,,,,,.,, p,ve,

We said yesterday that the defeat OF tn,
many efforts that had been made to re-
peal the "grab law" was proof conclu
sivc that a majority of the people of tn,
state were OF the opinion that the State
should stand by the promise that had
been made by that law to the people OF
the counties. cities and towns of the State.
We also added, that what the majority of
the people wanted done they could do.
and that. since the supreme court had
taken away from the counties,
cities and towns the considcra-
ton promised them by the "grab law"
the state ought to assume the debts
made under that law. and could Doe made
to do so, if proper action were taken by
the General Assembly.
The S,m understood u to say, and
probably in the haste of writing we did
imply, that under bill passed by the
General Assembly and signed by the
Govcrnor-witlout other actiou-thc,c
debts might be changed inloa debt of the
'r''NN' wv w az bNdlt VI Nllt litl NliiN
the law authorizing thi, action would
have 10 be submitted To- the people.
Therefore we said, that the majority of
the people of the state being in favor OF
the state performing it, contract in this
matter, could make the State do so If the
General Assembly would do it, part.
The General Assembly may pass bill To
take up these debts, and that
bill signed by the governor becomes II
law, which, before it become, vital.
must be published and endorsed by Il
vote OF majority Of the people voting
for members of the General Assembly mt
u general election. The people can do
nothing until the legislature has acted
made the law.
But this is what we must havc-a law
enacted by the General Assembly taking
up these bonds. assuming the debt, made
under the grab law by counties, town
ships, cities and towns, and such a law
the General Assembly has the power to
enact. Then the rest is plain sailing
The ballots of the people will, we have
no doubt, give to the law vitality.

Dr.. SinmS' White Pulln0lic BalSam

During the last 25 years more than 10000
people have been saved from the terrible
desolating effectsof pulmonry consumption
by using DR.. Simms' White Pulmonic Bal
sam. It cures without fail when properly
used, and we hold ourselves reasy toaccept
any challenge as to the qualities of good ar
ticles. We guarantee the remedy to be Just
what we represent 1t to be. In chronic and
recent coughs, Sore Throat, Group, Hoarse-
ness, Blood Splitting, Whooping Cough,
Bronchitis, Sore Breasts, Weak Lungs, &c.,
and in all diseases of the lungs tending
toward or terminating in Consumption,
this remedy cannot be equalled much less
excelled. It will positively prevent the
lungs from yielding to the terrible effects of
Consumption. Let us say to the afflicted
and persons predisposed to Consumption,
give our remedy fair trial, be patient and
persevering using strictly according to di-
rections and do not yield to the solicitation
Of pretended medicines and inexperienced
advice and you will soon find yourself rap
idly recovering. We have a large number,
several hundred references Of persons we
have cured, (many of them very bad cases,
which cam be seen at our Office or given by

THE most exciting event that has been
witnessed in st. Louis, since the building Of
the large bridge across the Mississippi
which all St. Louis turns out to look at was
the commencement Of the trial of Babcock
on Monday. The General was present,
harsh and imperious looking, and of course
the cynosure of all eyes; bold and impudent,
little akin to defiant was the stare that
the doughty Bah gave the court. But the
interest will eliminate when Grant takes
the stand. 1t will give the whole an intense
dramatic effect, and awe the "rebel" jury.
This will be the crowning event of the
whole, and is looked forward to with nc
small amount of interest, by those who
have considered the intimate relations be
tween Babcock and the President, and thu
almost impenetrable mystery which over
hangs the whole, and casts very unpleasan
suspicious in its shadows.
The Morning herald., 1876-02-09

The WEATHER we have had so far this
winter has been as tickle as coquette.
Alternately it has been frowning and smil-
ing. We have had an equal share of each,
and just enough of one which is the severest
to make the other the more appreciable. Of
colds though it is remarkably productive,
and those who essay to speak and cannot do
so for sneezing, or have particular prefer
ence for handkerchiefs, can easily be SYM
pathized with.

The New York Herald scratched its head
on Monday and the following was seen in
it's columns yesterday:
We are not blind to the effect Of Mr..
Conkling's nomination on the Democratic
party; but as he is entirely sound on the
vital question Of the currency we could as
safely trust him as any Democratic candi-
date that might otherwise be selected from
this State. We say "otherwise' because it
seems plain that if Mr.. Conkling should be
the Republican candidate the Democratic
candidate would be taken from the West.
The nomination of Mr.. Conkling would
preclude the Republicans from deriving any
advantage from the peculiar public senti-
ment of the West, which the Democratic
party could utilize and monopolize by Sc
lecting candidate who represents it. The
nomination of Mr.. Conkling at Cincinnati
would, therefore, inevitably locate the
Democratic candidate in the West, and give
him a powerful and Jealous support in that
important section of the country. The
Democratic party will not relinquish so

BABCOCK's TRIAL.

If Babcock is proven to be guilty, and
punishment is as summary in his case as i
has been in the case of Mckee and others,
there will be but little chance Of saving
him from prison cell, unless the Presi-
dent, as it will lie in his power to do, ex-
tends his clemency and saves him. The
case is unquestionably the most important
of any that has borne part in this extraor-
binary conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment. Upon it hinges the most important
testimony that has been taken in the whole
matter, and which promises Developments
that will place the administration and
some of its leading spirits, who now held
their heads very high, in an unpleasant
light. .,...
The friends of Babcock state that they
are able to produce testimony that will mo-
only vindicate Babcock, but show that il
is an effort oblack mail him. 1t is to bt
hoped that such may be done,for the safe
of the American government and its instl
tutions. 1t is bad enough to be disgrace'
BY the dishonesty of a minister who repre-
sents the United States at foreign court
without having the taint Of dishonest.
smeared over the whole country. For thi
reason, if nothing more,it is consumatiol
devoutly to he wished for, that Babcoc'
may be able to vindicate himself belor
the Court he now stands indicted, and tn
world; as Babcock's intimate relation
with the President, even if the trial doe
not draw that functionary into the mud
die, must if he is convicted surround Gran
with cloud of suspicion.
