TIE OPIUM HIBTT.
How q Physician Cured Himself on the Taper

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. As the
habit of taking opium or morphine has become
so prevalent, feel that owe duty to those
unfortunate persons who are ts slaves to COM

method OF cure. / have tried almost every
remedy in our matcra mcdica, hut have found
no drug that can be substituted for morphine.
or which will eradicate the opium appetite.
There is but ono method by which the cure can
be effected and that is by gradually tapcring OIL.
/ took morphine myself for over ten years:
hence you may imagine I was too deeply in
tcrcsted in getting rid of the habit At the time
| commenced the cure | was in the habit OF
taking doses Of half grain four times day.
/ generally mixed the medicine in an eight
ounce bottle. adding half drachm thirty
grainsl TO- each bottle. took teaspo2ninl at
dose. and rs this contains about on" drachm.
therefore took four grains oi the SAT- ,hch dny.
began the cure by adding TO the FIRST bottle
twcniy-nne grnns of the, sat. instead OF
thirty grains. THIS bottlcfu lasted me about
ten days: therefore there WIS consumed mat
length q time in allowing the system TO adInpt
itself TO the inilntesima change OF dose. The
next bottlcful contained twenty-rght grains.
the next one twenty seven grains. and 80 on.
being n decrcmont Of one grain every ten
DAYS. This course | continued, the syst tom not
approaching the change, till ! had exhausted
the doses. give the above ms nm example OF
the only method by which the opium habit can
be cradicated. have since cured several cnses,
some Of them taking rs much ~ two and four
grains Mt n dose. while ono patient took ten
grains nj n dose. and four ot these in twenty
four hours. He had taken morphine for nine

Hayes as Hypocritc Convicted Under
His own Hand.

Ink Is frequently Advertised IA indelible,
MS If that quality were recommendation OF
tho ink. There are instances In which 1t
would be much better for tine reputation of
persons who write their names, II the ink in
which the names were written would fade
out and leave the paper as white as 1t was
before. Unfortunately, in such cases, while
The ink does not fade, tho reputation OF the
writer fades out forever, and cannot DO re-
stored.
Let us come to the facts on which we
have to comment this morning:
ZACHARIAH CHANDLER. formerly n United
States Senator from Michigan, and, after
having been rejected by that state as a can
didate for reelection, Secretary of tho Into
rior In is7G--a swearing and drinking but
patriotic citizen-was also while occupying
n seat in the Cabinet, Chairman of the Ma
tional Republican COMMITTEES. Instead OF
attending TO his official duties at Washing
ton, he spent his time at the headquarters Of
the committee, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
this city.
The Presidential election was pending.
Mr.. CHANDLER collected money by assess
ment on Federal ofilceholders. II. b. HAYES
was the Republican candidate for President.
III
by the assessment of Federal oniccholdcrs.
10 II. Il. HAYES, the Republican candidate
for President, in Ohio; and Il. Il. HAYES, the
Republican candidate for President, cSpend-
ed this money and paid IL out TO promote
his own election.
Along with purchased, false. aud forged
return by the Louisiana Board, this was
the means by which our Civil Service Re-
form President made his way into the White
Housed
What is our proof? That the money was
largely collected by assessment on Federal
ofliceholders is universally known, and has
been proved by sworn testimony before a
Congressional committee.
That r. b. HAYES received this money
from Mr.. CHANDLER, and drew it out
through bank in Ohio, appears by the fac.
Smiles Of two of the certificates of deposit
and the endorsements thereon, which WI
this day publish. The Second National
Bank where the money was deposited, Is IN
the corner OF the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where
Mr. CHANDLER's committee had their head
quarters
or course Mr. HAYES paid this money ont
for election purposes. II he did not do that
he embezzled it and nobody suspects him O
embezzlemcnt. If he paid it out for election
purposes, he paid it out TO promote eithe
his own election or that Of Mr.. TILDEN
Does any one imagine he paid it out to pro
mote Mr.. TILDES' ) election
Under his own hand the great civil ser
vice reformcr stands convicted Of hypocrisy
The halo OF honesty popularity supposed {

like the unveiled prophet of the poet, h
Stands forth revealed in the deformit

The appointment Of the distinguished adj
mlnstrator and African explorer Sir BAR
TIE FRERE TO be Governor Of the Cape
Colony, directs attention to the blundors and
vacilations Of British policy in that part Of
the world A fruitful source Of pcrpleXites
is found in the anomalous relations existing
between the English authorities and certain
recent communities, the sO-callcd Free
States, poopled and controlled by descend
ants of the old llollander settlers. Accord
Ing 20 late advices one Of these, the South
African or lran7yaM republic, has now
been nomlnally anncNcd, but brief review
of earlier events will show the futility of
this measure, unless the Cape Parliament

from the annexed territory, and assume tho
task Of protecting it.
If evidence We're needed TO convince Gov
ernments Of the mischicls which flow from
undertaking the capacities and mi,t6king
