Republican Opposition to the
Louisiana Decision.
SPEECHES OF CONGREssMEN PIERCE AND
SEELYE.

SPEECHES OF CoNGnEssMEN PIERCE AND
sEELYE.
Messrs. Seelye and Pierce of Massachu-
sets were the only Republican Congress
men who spoke or voted against the
decision Of the Electoral Commission.
Mr. Seelye said: 1t is, perhaps, gencr-
ally true that in discussions SO earnest,
not to say so excited as this, neither party
may be altogether right or althogether
wrong. In the bitterest dispute each side
may have somewhat to justify it, both
sides, perhaps, being correct in what they
affirm and only mistaken in what they
deny. suppose we should never have
any contention among true-heartcd men
if each had clear understanding Of the
ground occupied by the other. In this
case Of the Louisiana election it is to me
quite clear that the charges which each
party bring against the other are in the
main true. No facts were ever proved
more conclusively than the frauds and
corruption charged ON the one party, and
the intimidation and cruelty charged
upon the other. Which party went the
farther and did the worse in this wrong
doing would be hard to say. The corrup-
ton on the one side seems as heinous as
the cruelty on the other side is horrible,
and the extent of each does not seem
limited except as the necessities of the
case did not permit, or the requirements
Of tho case did not call for more.
find it, therefore, impossible to deter
mine which of the two sets of electors
sending their certificates from Louisiana
voices the actual will Of the people of
that State in the late election, and it is
equally beyond my power to admit the
propriety Of accepting either 1 cannot
exaggerate the reluctance with which
4 differ from the wise and candid
men-wiser and more candid men
it would be hard to find-who
have pronounced the Judgment of
the Electoral Commission, upon which
I'VE are now to vote and acknowledge,
think. appreciate the strength of their
position. We cannot be 20 jealous of the
constitutional right Of State to choose
it's Presidential electors in such manner
''as the Legislature thereof may direct"
We cannot be too careful Of Congression-
al interference with the duly accredited
results of such n choice. Whether we
like or dislike it the right OF State to
choose its electors in its own way, and to
ascertain and certify hereby in such
forms as it may prescribe, is beyond our
lawful control. ] admit all this as a
technical statement of clear principles
of our CONSTITUTIONS principle, more
over, In its general application, as wise
as it is clear.
But there are cases where the summon,
jus becomes the s1tnanld injurtd--cases
where the law, stricly Interpreted and
Strenuously enforced, works out result
which contradicts all law, and in which
cases equity lays the letter of law aside
and lifts its voice in judgement as the
sovereign spirit Of the law--the spirit OF

The central point of interest and con-
verSation in New England at the prestn'
time is the tabernacle in Boston. Thou
sands bctake themselves to It habitually
a. noon aud night. Hundreds arc being
turned away daily because the six thou
sand chairs are filed, aad there is no
more room. 1t is study to behold the
serious, earnest, intelligent, upturned
faces, and one asks why all this, when
there is no excitement, no sensational
ism IN arrest the attention Of the assem-
bled thousands. 1t is simply the truth
these people are after, and they believe
they get it through Mr.. Sankey who sings,
and Mr.. Moody who breaches. Mr.
Moody is round, strong built man, not
ut all prepossessing in his looks, stands
firmly on both feet, and is business man
in all he does. He is terribly in earnest
and means business always in matter of
fact way. lie talks to men about their
souls as a good clerk would to purchas-
er. Every word is direct, every sentence
is point, clfnched with the simplest
English, the dialect of home with its
warmest love; no finished utterances,
projects two hundred words minute at
times, is not an observer of style, full OF
anecdotes and illustrations that tell. How
eagerly and earnestly the speaker is
watched; the habitual seriousness of a
New England congregation is intensified.
Mr.. Moody is not an orator according to
finish, but no man in America can draw
such a throng, and the speakers are few
who take and hold such n grip upon an
audience. He is inspired with great
thoughts, and they come to the people
with warmth and power that tells, and
the magnetism of the man and the truth
he utters carries conviction to every
heart, whether they yield or not.
Mr.. Moody has great power as speak
err, in the freshness with which he eX-
pounds the Bible. His illustrations arc
largely from the bible-has but little &c
say of science. No one eXcels him in the
directness with which he applies the
truth of the Word to living men. He is
trying to lift the church out Of '''- oIo
ruts, to infuse into it -" llle' 1hou'
sonds Of clero,-..en hear him, to learn
how r. preach. They sit at his feet to
learn Of the great Master. Behind the
mans enthusiasm and sympathy and his
earnest words is the power of the Great
Spirit to warn, teach and inspire men,
also his work would be as nothing. Mr..
Sankey is genial, refined gentleman,
who breaches and prays in song. He
sings not only the words, but their fullest
meaning, so that every one of the vast
throng can hear and understand perfect
ly. He has power in song seldom
heard. AS the.rich cadences of song are
poured forth it can be seen that the audi
ence are in fullest sympathy with him, as
the falling tear drop will often attest.
The work of each would be incomplete
without the other; the two make unit
in their work, and long may they be
spared to teach and preach the truth as it
s'is in Jesus" remembering the power OF
Him who "hath chosen the weak things
of the world to coufound the things
which are mighty"

After much study and long series OF
experiments, DIR. A. j. Flagg, of Clare
mont, N. II. has succeeded in producing
remedy which will cure almost every
form OF disease Of the Throat and Lungs.
Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and Con-
sumption yield to it more readily and
naturally than to any other known rene
dy. This medicine goes directly to the
immediate scat of the disease, and its
beneficial effects are at once manifested.
The ingredients of the Cough and Lung
Syrup are of the very best kind, having
been prepared regardless of expense, and
the patient can rest assured that the
medicine isperfectly pure. 1t can be pro-
cured of any respectable druggist.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alono. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandraH and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nouriShes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care.
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

Estimating Net Weights.

A correspondent requests information as to
how he can arrive at the true net weights of
hogs, after the gross weights have been as
certained. We know of no means by which the
net weights can be more than approximately as
certained Many of our city packers with whom
We have conversed on the subject tell us, that
the results of various formulas vary very wide
ly; and even when no other disturbing elements
occur, are largely affected by the time which
has elapsed since the swine were fed and water
cd, and especially by the circumstance of hav-
ing been subjected to long confinement, sufic-
lent to induce great thirst and hunger, and
prompt them to gorge themselves with food and
water. However, there is rule which will
give approximate results, though, we infer,
scarcely near enough to buy or ssll by, and we
therefore give it without vouchug for its cor
rsctness. Perhaps some of our readers will sub
ject it to Q practical test, and give us the re-
suits:
For the first 100 lbs. deduct 25 for gross; for
the second 100 lbs. deduct 12i for the third 100
lbs. deduct Ct all over the third hundred is net.
The net weight of a hog 100 gross is IS ibs.; a
hog of $50 gross will net 1lSf $50 gross, 209s
net, and hog the gross weight of which is 800
its., will net 256f lbs. From the gross weight of
q hog that goes over 300, 434 lbs. only is deduct.
ed, even if the weight should be 400.-National
