Among the congressman rechosen by |

low. This IS the sort Of conciliation the |
solid South presents for our adoration in |
1880 Is it any wonder that the Mississippi |
papers published in Chalmers district |
predict that the constitutional amend
ments are to be declared null and void in
case the Conservative Democracy carry
the next presidential election? .
The above is from that ably edited
but extremely sectional and violent
Republican paper, the Allegan mich.
Journal. This paper is SO blindly
jealous and partisan that it sees moth
ing exce:t through distorted glasses.
A little crossroads patent outsidenews-
paper published by some Wild thcorist
in a Southern village is set up by
the Journal as an exponent of South
ern sentiment and the personal organ
of Jefferson Davis, while the states
men of the South, like Gordon, Hamp-
ton, lamar, Garland, Young and Others
who give moderate and wise eounsels,
are ignored. We desire to state for
the information of the Journal and ask
the able editor Of that paper to recog-
, nize the fact that General Chalmers
when elected recently was Frustrated
{ with the yellow fever or kindred
fever in Louisville, Ky, several
hundred miles from his district, and
had not been at home for several
weeks. The district is populated by
! an Overwhelming majority of colored
: people, as will be seen by reference
c to the last census report. The fever
! prevailed in this river district from
; Memphis to Yicksburg. The few
y whites suffered most; the blacks very
5 little. The latter had the fullest and
Il fairest opportunity to vote Just as they
g pleased, and theydid so. Themost o.
+ them voted voluntarily and intelligent
I ly. They voted for j. r. Chalmers, tn,
Il alleged participant in the so-calleC
Fort Pillow massacre, as they did tw,

a. that the constitutional amendment
are to be declared null and void i

PROHIBITION flourishes in the coun-
ties on the Eastern shore of Mary
land almost equally with those of
Maine At the general election, on the
9th inst, vote was taken in Kent
and certain districts of Dorchester,
which resulted almost uniformly
against the liscense of liquor selling.
AS the result Of this and former votes
upon the question there is now a pro-
hibitory law in three of the counties
entire Caroline, Kent and Talbot
and it prevails likewise in eight dis
tricts out of nine in Somerset, twelve
out of fourteen in Dorchester and
three out of six in Queen county
Both by territory and population the
prohibitory district forms much the
greater part of the Eastern shore.

Yellow IncI1 In Nnnin.

yellow fever has broken out in Ma
drid. From 1900 to $4,000 soldiers
have recently returned from Cuba
They landed, for the most part, at
Santander, and more than half the
total number started at once by train
for Madrid 1t was only when this
large body Of troops reached the capi-
tai that they found time to unpack
their trunks and give their linen out
to wash The soldiers had been dis
banded and went into lodging or fur
nished apartments, while the officers
found home in the more fashionable
hotels. The epidemic broke out in
the very center of the town, many
cases occurring within stones throw
of Puerto del Sol. Some women who
attended to the soldiers and washed
their linen were among the first to
contract the disease. According to
the latest mail adyices the Gale de
Tetuan is the focus of infection, and
the neihborhood of the Puerto de-
Sol, the Piccadilly Of Madrid, and the
quarter most freQuented by English
visitors, has greatly suffered,

Cambridge, Ohio, yesterday, in the
case Of Eliza Britton against the
Michigan Mutual Life Insurance
Company, the jury returned verdict
for plaintiff for $5383, being a 5000
policy, with interest, less the amount
of note given for premium, with in.
terest. No money was ever paid fol
this risk, and the policy was surren
dered and note returned four month";
before the assured's death. The de
cision was given on account Of an ex
tension of time on the note.

THERE is an erroneous impression
that the forty-Sixth congress will
largely be made up Of new members,
and that the changes will be fully
equal to those which occurred when
the Democrats succeeded to the con-
troll of the lower house in the forty
third congress in 1878, This, how
ever is NOT borne out by the facts.
The Republicans have elected to the
forty.sixth congress sixty members
holding seats in the forty-ffth, and the
Democrats cighty-four, which will
make total Of one hundred and fifty
three old members in the new con
grcss. In addition there are ten or
fifteen members elect who have had
previous service in the house Of repre-
sentatiyes ante-dating the existence Of
the present congress. SO that in

The Primary Cause OF Distant

Nervousness is rarely disease in itself in
herent, but is the lineal offspring Of dyspep-
sia, in majority Of cases. The nervous dis
turbance is at first triaing, but ultimately its
parent so undermines the general health as to
produce consequences very threatening 10
that great nervous center, the brain. Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters is the mos powerful
medicinal opponent Of the rayages Of indiges-
ton, and protects the nervous system from
them. The tremors, the unnatural anxiety,
the headaches, the sleeplessness and loss Of
appetite which characterizes digestive irfegu-
larity and weakness, and which are almost
invariably accompanied by an uncertain con
dition Of the bowels and inactivity Of the
liver, are all eradicsted by this inatehles.

THE value of every vote at elections
is emphasized by the official returns
from Indiana, which show that from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred
more Republican votes properly dis
tributed would have carried, under
the rascally apportionment, the legis-
lature for the Republicans and secured
a United States senator. In eight or
ten counties the Democratic majorities
on the legislative tickets ranged from
ten to twenty-five votes.
