Vindication of The News and Courier

Some time since charges we're
preferred that ZHe Ne,cs oud Con-.
rie~had been guilty OF corrupt
practices in regard to the public
printing. INe Ne,os und Couyie,.

tion at the hands Of tho Legish>
ture. The committee has made a
report, completely exonorating zAe
Nems and Courier from the
charges. The, committee, after
showing the iniquities of the Re
publican press, say:

Organization.

General Bratton's call to the
Democracy of Fairfield is we'll
timed, and in it he presents the true
aims of the party. The Democrats
of this county have never yet won in
a general election but they propose
to enter into the coming contest in
full panoply, with flanks all guard
cd. Precautions will be taken
against every emergency; and the
constitution will be made SO ex-
plicit that no question Of con-
struction can nrise. We hear
rumors Of independent movements.
But we do not credit them. We
know tho people of Fairfield too
well to believe they will do anything
to injure themselves or the State
That the people are true and hon
orable has been proven in past
years. They have a strong sense
of right and justice. Satisfy them
that the party machinery is run
fairly and squarely, and their solid
support will be secured. The de-
manl is for meritorious candidates,
nominated by a majority of the
Democratic party. Such candidates
need fear no Independent move,
mcntS.
It is with n view to secure this
perfect organization that the Coun-
ty Club, or Convention, is called to
meet on the fifth Saturday in
March. The State Executive Com
mittce has provided a uniform CON
| stitutiOn for the whole State, in
order to prevent any irregularities
from arising. Tho County Com.
mittee will also present certain
details applicable to this county,
chiefly presenting the manner of
securing the fnirest possible nomi~
nations by primary election. Tho
Convention is called to ratify and
adopt the now constitution. So
long rs the constitution is ambigu-
Gus, honest differences may arise.
But secure ono perfect in it's details
and there can be but one construc-
ton placed on it. ''Bolts" or
"splits" cannot arise, unless
act,lated by base motives.
We would suggest that as new
constitution is to be adopted, the
subordinate clubs need not re-
organize before tho meeting of tho
County Club, as there will be a
re election of officers under it's
rovisions. Great care should be
exercised in selecting persons capa>
bic of performing the important
duties OF such offices. But of this,
hereafter.
We hope that tho preliminary
meetings Of the clubs to choose
delegates to the coming Convention
will be largely attended, that the
campaign may be begun under
auspicious circumstances.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Hartford Coura,st :-"By and by
Congress will run violently down a
steep place into the sea and get
choked. The preliminary inspira>
ton is on it"
The Chicago Post terms the in
PRODUCTION of Lamars conscience in
the deliberations of Congress "a
dangerous innovation" Intlation-
lists may well tremble at it.
Springfield Repudlican :-"It is
becoming unpopular for public
man to be in the habit of getting
drunk, and this marks a great ad
vance in public sentiment
Buffalo -E:rpress The one shred
of legal reprobation of the rebellion
which remains is the inability of
jeff Davis to govern tho count, y
which he tried to destroy. MI.
Lamar had much better hold his
seat"
Cincinnati Gazette :-"The Bland
bill rs it now stands would be n
long disturbance and uncertainty,
working great unfairness in the
government payments. until the
slow increase of silver dollars had
brought all to the silver basis"
The Philadelphia Times treats of
tho financial revolution rs q fore
gone conclusion, and one which
cannot be altered, while it suggests
that the evils to be expected from
it will not be unmixed with good,
which will be at least partial
compensation.

DR.. j. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia,
owes his unrivallcd success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
Tho Pulmonic Syrup ripens the
morbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it off by on easy expectora-
tiony and tho patient las relief from
the prostrating cough. The Man
drake Pills must be freely used to
cleanse and stimulate the stomach
and liver; they remove all obetIuc-
tons, relax the gall bladder and
start the bile freely, and the liver
is soon relieved. Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic is Il gentle stimulant
and Alternative the alkali of which
it is. composed mixes with the food
and prevents souring. It assists the
digestion by toning UP the stomach
to healthy condition so that. the
food and the Pulmonic Syrup. will
make good blood; then the lungs
heal, and the patient will surely get
