The gnGrRnit7es of Age

Are harder to bear than the ailments of
middle life or youth. since the resistant
power in the system has diminished with
declining years, and disease and pain have
more power over the enfeebed body. 1t is
therefore the more essential that that re-
sistant power should be augmented. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, benign tonic cordial.
is admirably adapted for the purpose. 1t
counteracts the infirmities peculiar to age
and suecors worn out nature. 1t vivifies
the feeble frame, adds new oil, as it were
to the tlickering lamp of life, diffuses fresh
warmth through the chilled veins, and gives
comfort as we'll as relief, thus tightening the
burden Of age and retarding in measure
the progress of decay. Ladies in delicate
health, as well as aged persons, derive great
benefit from this wholesome stimulative
tonic, which is absolutely pure, unobiection-
able in flavor, and is recommended by physi-
clans of repute.

whose political opinions debar him
from holding Office under a Republi-
can administration, according to the
views of the Senators who have
blocked the Presidents civil serviee
reform policy. Wharton of Louisiana
besides being generally considered
4 good fellow, was not open to this fa-
tai objection; wherefore, his nomina-
ton has been favorably reported and
unanimously confirmed.

And so cur navy commander, Thompson,

Alas, how sad the thought that lite's
span is too short toiafford similar en-
couragement to the well-meaning but

Congressman Gibson of this State is
sad to have been assured by Senator
heiiogs that twenty Republican SEN
atofs VIII support the Louisiana leyee
bill, appropriating S4,O9a,O00 for i'm
mediate work. This is ENCOURAGING
II true. The main questions of no
heeal nature immediately affecting
Louisiana having been settled. for a
time Mt least, the first thing now in
order is a united and determined
movementon the part of our Congress
sional representative to secure ma
tional aid to the essentially national
work OF maintaining the levees Of the
Mississippi river. Come, gentlemen,
u long pull, a strong pull, and a null
altogether. Let the politics alone
and attend to business.

Last Tuesday afternoon, about 2
o'clock, the boiler of the donkey en-
glne on the steamer Lessie Taylor ex-
ploded, while the boat was lying at
the New Orleans wharf. The explo-
sion almost demolished the upper
works of the vessel. A negro fireman
was killed outright, and twelve or
fifteen other persons injured, mono of
them fatally. Among the latter was
Mr.. Motfat, an Inspector of steam YES
sells for the district of Louisiana, who
VAS engaged at the time of the acci-
dent in making an inspection of the
boiler which exploded.

A WORD 70 QUE OOEGRBssMEN.

4 WORD TO 0UR OONGRESSMEN
! The sufferers by the governments
arbitrary seizure Of timber alleged to
have been cut from public lands III
Mississippi, have held meetings and
appealed to Congress for relief, claim
ing that only small proportion OF
the property seized was taken from
lands belonging to the government.
If these people are entitled to the
favorable consideration of Congress
and we have no doubt serious inius-
tice has been done them in many in-
stances-how much more worthy of it
are the occupants of the Houmas
lands on the Amite river, in this par
ish, who have held the lands in good
faith for years, but have been de-
barred from procuring titles by dis
pute regarding the ownership of the
Houmas tract pending between the
government and private individuals
for three quarters of century. We
again call upon our representative in
Congress to interest themselves in
this matter, and to procure, if posi-
bic, suspension of governmental ac-
tion relative to timber cut from the
lands of the Houmas claim until the
question of title now before the Sec
retary of the Interior for adjudication
is passed upon, and the occupants of
the disputed tract have been afforded
a fair chance to obtain patents for
their homesteads.
We address this appeal specially to
Congressman Darrali, .'as !the people
injured. by the i'll advised and:prema-
ture proceedings inaugurated by gov
ernment officials some weeks ago, are
citizens of his district. Being sub
scriber to the CHIEF, he has had am
pie opportunity for learning the status
of the Houmas land claim but if he
has overlooked the matter, brief in
vestigation Of the records of the Land
Office and the Interior Department
will afford sufficient information for
intelligent intervention in behalf of
worthy class of citizens, who are un-
and needlessly oppressed
by agents of the general government.
A simple representation of the facts
involved should secure from Secretary
Schurz an order for the release of all
timber cut upon the lands included in
the Houmas tract. If this fails, how
ever, a resolution by Congress would
doubtless produce the desired effect,
aud should be forthcoming.
These suggestions are made in the
interests of right and justice; if they
fail to secure consideration in the
proper quarter we shall revert to the
subject again before many moons.

On Saturday next an election will
be held in the Fourth Sensational Dis
triet of the State, comprising the tenth
and eleventh wards of the city of
New Orleans, for the purpose of
choosing II Senator in place of Hon.
j. b. Eastis, whose admission to the
United States Senate vacates his seat
in the State body. Aspirants for the
position are numerous, and the poll
ticians of the district are in high
feather over the congonial work in
prospect. A convention will be held
to-day to select a regular Democratic
candidate. There is some talk of
PInchbaek running independently for
the place. >.

POLITICAL PEACE IN FRANCE.

I
The political crisis in France was
happily ended on the 18th inst, by
the abandonment on the part of Presi-
dent McMahon Of his stubborn opno-
sition to the expressed will of the ua-
ton and the Republican majority of
the popular branch of the Assembly.
The President warmly rebuked his
advisers for recommending a course
OF illegality aud revolution then res
called NJ. Dufaure to his confidence
and intrusted to him the task of form
ing a Cabinet acceptable to the AS
sembly.
This was successfully accomplished
by the selection of able and moderate
men, possessing the respect of all par
ties, and the political clouds which
overhung the country have cleared
away.
The new ministers are: Of Justice.
NJ. Dufaure; of Commerce, NJ. Ozenne;
of Public instruction, NJ. Bardoux;
of Marine, Admiral Roussiu of the
interior, NJ. de Mareere; of War, Gen.

of which VIM. A. Booth was Chair
man, Hall informed Tweed that if the
vouchers were not examined it would
tend to and would probably break
dOwnthe prosecutiOnsagainst theRiDg.
Tweed thereupon consulted with N.
II. Cook, who was then an attache of
the Department of Public Works and
the head OF the bureau, as to the possi-
bility of obtaining access to and de-
sfroying said vouchers. Cook exam
ined the Comptroller's Office and re-
ported to Tweed that he believed the
vouchers could be obtained and de-
strOyed, and told Tweed to leave the
matter in his hands, and he would at
tend to it. 1t was subsequently, ascer-
tanned that the Committee had called
on Connolly, the Comptroller, to pro-
duce the vouchers. Connolly, being
cognizant of what was going to take
place, requested and obtained the de-
lay of a few days, during which time
Cook, as he informed Tweed. obtained
access to the rooms of the ComptrOl-
Ter, and carried away and destroyed
the vouchers. Who, if any one, was
engaged with him in the enterprise
Tweed is not informed, as Cook de-
clined to state.
