ONDERDoNK's HISTORY OF MARY
LANDING have received copy of
Onderdonk''s school history of Mary
land, which appears to be, with one
exception, we'll written 1t is proba-
bly, as near the truth as the political
views of the authors mind would per-
NIT him to make it. While facts are
apparently stated with fairness and
impartiality, there is an illy-concealed
effort apparent to so color the narrative
of the war of the rebellion as to lead
those who read the book to believe that
the rebel sympathizers of that day were
right and those who opposed them were
wrong. If Mr. Onderdonk had written
as impartially of this period Of Mary
land history as he has done of the
period that preceded it, he would have
produced good work However, this
history of Maryland is a great improve
ment upon child's history of the
United States that was published some
years ago, just after the close of the
war, which, for the size of it, probably
contained more lies than any other book
published before or since, the Arabian
Nights not excepted.

BUTLER OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

During the recent debate in the Sen
ate on the admission of NJ. G.. Butler
as Senator from South Carolina, Gen
eral Gordon, speaking in advocacy of
Buffers right, dwelt at considerable
length and with strong emphasis upon
his (Butler's) aristocratic birth, and
urged in his favor the blue blood that
coursed through his veins. Senator
Hoar arose and, in reply, said: 1T is
not question of the blood in General
Buffers veins, the question is as to the
blood on his hands.' The remark was a
crushing answer to all the twaddle about
noble lineage and aristocratic ancestors.
and abruptly brought the Senate back
to consideration of the merits and the
character of the man who was knock
ing at its doors for admission. 1t was
a question as to the part taken by this
man in the infamous massacre of de-
fenseless prisoners, the butchery of
ignorant, helpless negroes at Hamburg
in the Summer of 1876 The evidence
that found its way to the North at the
time, and the more complete testimony
elected since, point irresistibly to one
conclusion. They place this man, who
has been admitted to seat in the L.
S. Senate by the combined votes of
Democrats and carpet-baggers, in the
the light of an instigator of the massa-
ere and the champion of the active par
Elephants in the outrage No vehement
denial, no special pleading can rub out
the admissions made at the time and the
corroborating circumstances. No sub.
sequent conduct can atone for his par.
ticipation in the infamy. The massa-
ere was one that was attended bv the
most barbarous features. 1t was cruelty
OF the basest character 1t was the per-
lection of cold, calculating murder. A
band of innocent, unof1endng negroes,
following the instincts of the race, were
marching in holiday attire, and with
some noisy but harmless demonstrations
of joy, through the streets of Hamburg,
South Carolina. They were met by sew
eral scions of Southern chvalry who
demanded the right of way. The col
ored men refused to concede it. The
whites, incensed at what they chose to
consider the presumption of the blacks,
withdrew, increased their numbers, re-

A TIME-HoNoRED SPECIFIC.-The long
and successful career of DR.. WIsHART's
PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL, as contrasted
with the speedy collapse of nostrums de-
void of efficacy which have from time to
time been pulled into brief notoriety dur
ing the twenty odd years that this cele-
brated medicine has been sold, affords a
proof that the American public continues
to repose its confidence in deserving arti-
Giles only. The PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL
has long been recognized as the leading
specific for Consumption, Bronchitis, Dip
iberia, Coughs, Colds, Asthma and all
other diseases of the breathing organs. 1t
is, moreover, a certain, speedy, and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Dis

accommodating evidence of an unimpeacha-
BILE character establishes the fact that it
not only entirely eradicates the diseases to
which it is adapted, but also that its action
is remarkably prompt and thorough. The
crucial test of experience has demonstrated
its reliability in every particular. Sold by

turned, fell upon the unarmed process
sion with savage fury, chased the men,
bers of it through the streets, captured
a number of them, led them out into an
open field, told them to run for their
lives land shot them down in cold blood

the champion of the blistering crime
receives, as his reward, a seat in the
Senate of America. All honor to the
Republicans of the Senate that they
refused to put premium upon wanton
murder.
