In speaking of the detection of Republic
cans in New Hampshire, on account of the
follies of the Administration, the New York
Commercial advertiser says: Because Prcsi-
dent HAYES has disappointed. the party,
there is no good reason why the party Or
gsnization should be broken down. If the
minister turns out reprobate it would be
very silly indeed to break up the congrega-
ton and give full sweep to the adversary,
The Republican party has a great mission
before it, and should be recognized with
new leaders, President HAYES and his
shallow advisers labor under the delusior
that he can administer the Government
without party. Evidently Mr.. HAYES ant
his friends have read history with no ad
vantage"

quaintance upsought We treated him
courteously, and he has paraded himself
and Misrepresentation of fact before the
public IN return for our civility. As near
as we can ascertain he had some safe posi-
ton in the Mexican war. When the rebel
lion came his sympathies for the Confeder-
ates were too strong to permit him to en-
gage actively on the side of his Government
and his nerves were too weak to lead him
to take up arms where his sympathies cen
tired; hence he lives to enjoy the bread of a
supernumerary and superhuous position un'
der the District government.

We have received an official" report o.
the correspondence between Her Majesty
the Queen of England's representatives in
st. Petersburg and Constantinople and the
home government relative to the Turco-
Russian war and all pertaining thereto. We
find one dispatch, as early as the 2sth Of
January last, from Lord DERBY, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs to Lord LOTUS stating
that the Russian ambassador had called
upon him that afternoon and informed him
that the Russian government considered
the passage Of ships of war through tho
Bosphorous and Dardanelles "a European
question, which they did not intend to set
tie by themselves" And so we fad thai

of war TO Constantinoplc in such haste wer,

ALECK STEPHENS, ex-Vicc-President
Of the defunct Southern Confederacy
in an interview with representa-.
tive of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
bluntly admitted that his opposition
to secession was based solely upor
policy, and as bluntly declared his belle
that the doctrine Of secession is right. Thi.

SEE what the shadow of the silver meas
ure is doing for the financial sphere whe n
not a dollar Of the sparkling coin has found
its way to circulation. Gold weak at 1901
and the stock market stronger and stronger.
These two established facts are sufficient to
overthrow all the fine-spun theories, nicely
adjusted sophistries, and horrible predic-
tions of general disaster that beset the sill
yer measure during its period Of travail.
They should at once secure confidence in
the measure by banishing all the fears that
had been coniured up to work its defeat.
All the ills fOretold ~ inevitably to follow
in the train of success for silver have disap-
peared, and the music Of the croakers ID
hushed by convictions that are irresistible
Now "let the dead bury it's dead" Let the
silver law have its course and yindcate its
benefits to the country as it will do if left
free to work out its own problem, and in Q
few months the worst opponent of silver
money will laugh at the absurdity of his
own fears and predictions, and wonder how
he could have been so mistaken.

IT WAS really unkind Of the New York
Tribune to declare at the end of the first
year OF President HAYES term of office
that "thus far his administration has been
. failure" We say unfair, because the Tribune
ned of in the war against so-callcd "ma-
chine politicians" and placed itself fore-
most in support of civil-service reform, as
well as of the policy of Reconciliation. As it is,
It seems the country press win never cease

IT looks little queer to see the Congress
Gonal Record containing speeches deliver
in the debate on the silver bill, larded with
extracts from newspapers printed after the
bill became law. No speech should ever
b. printed in the Record unless actually de-
livered in Congress assembled, aud reported
by the efficient and capable corps of re-
portcrs employed for that purpose. Such a
rule would save the Record from many alb
surdities that now mar its character as q
faithful historian.

TERRIBLE OCCURRENCE.
Father Shot by his Son In a Mis-
 take for a Turkey.

Col. Wm. M. Cravens. writing from Waltlron gives us the following ac- count of one of the saddest affairs, we have ever been called upon to record; the killing of father by q fond son, in a mistake for wild turkey. Col. c. says: Old Mir. Ted. rick and his son were turkey hunt ing down on Poteau yesterday morn ing. The old man hid himself be- tween two large rocks and went to "calling." His son came up within about l25 yards, SAW his fathers head between the rocks, thinking it was a turkey. he fired with his rife. hitting the object armed at. He de liberately reloaded his rifle, and went to the rocks to get his turkey, when to his utter horror he found his dead father weltering i'll his blood, his shot having taken effect in the back of his head, the ball coming out in the face. The son is crazed over the sad occurrence, and the entire community is overshadow- ed with sadness. Mr Tedrick and son stood well in the community and were clever people.
 We hope it may be . long time, ere we are again called upon to chronicle such sad and heartsick- ening occurrence.-Ft. Smith Herald.

 At meeting of this committee, held pursuant to adjournment, in the City of Little Rock, March 20. 1878, it was resolved by the comnit- tee that n Convention of the Demo cratic party of the State of Arkansas be called to assemble at the City of Little Rock, on Thursday, the 4th day of July, 1878, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the s.ate offices to be voted for at the general election to be held on AIorday, the 2d day of September, in said year, and for the transaction of such other business as may be deemed advis- able. $ es ssa ais8a ~ 1t was resolved by the committee that the basis of representation i'll said Convention, and until said Con- yention may otherwise order, shall be one vote for each 400 votes. and one vote for such fraction over 200 votes, as castsfor William K. Miller, candidate for Governor at the last election, held on the 4th September

 And inasmuch as It has been the practice heretofore to send from the counties adjacent to the place of holding the Convention large nun
 bers of delegates, who, by tie moral weight of their numbers in excess of the votes to which they arc entitled, give advantage over the distant coun- ties in the choice of candidates, and thereby produce confusion in the Convention and want of harmony in the party, it was resolved by the committee that the number of dele gates allowed to the several counties should be limited to the number of votes which they are entitled to cast in the Convention; in compliance with which action of the committee I hereby announce that the Demo. cratic State Convention, at the time named by said committee, to wit, the 4th day of July next, will meet at the city of Little Rock, and, upon the basis established above, the sey eral counties will be entitled to the number of votes and delegates fol lowing, to-wit;

The Crisis.

What think you would be the re suit if the earth should stop spin ming around the sun? Were you ever near large and intricate ma chine when one of it's wheels became clogged or broken --near enough to hear the grating, jarrlng clash, the sudden, deafening crash? Astrono- mers assure us that precisely similar effects, only on an inconceiyably gi ander scale, would be produced if our eartsi-one of the wheels ln the universe. .machine-sbould suddenly cease its revolutions. In other words. there would be general clash and crash of satellites, planets, and systems. What we term finan- cial crises are due to similar causes. One of the wheels in the finance machine becomes clogged, perhaps shattered. The terrible Wall street ''crashn which follows is communi- cated to every part of the financial mechanism of the country. But analogies do not stop here. There is that other mechanism, the most intricate of all--sometimes called an organism because it generates its own forces-the human machine. When one of its members fails to perform it's office, the whole system is thrown into disorder. Members before considered unassailable. break down under the unnatural pressure. The shock comes, and utter prostra- ton is the result. Reparation can only be effected by the restoration of the impaired parts and the read justment of it's levers, --the physical forces. There IS one part of the ma chine more liable to disorder than any other,-the liver,-the great balance wheel of the machine.
 The liver being the great depurat ing or blood cleansing organ of the sy stem, set 1t at work and the foul corruptions which gender in the blood, and rot out, as 1t were, the machinery of life, are gradually ex pelled from the system. For this purpose Dr. Pierce's Golden Med Ical Discovery, used daily, and Dr, Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, taken in very small doses, arc pre- eminently the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the common pim- pie, blo,ch, or eruption. Great eat ing ulcers kindly heal under their mighty curative influence. Virulent blood poisons that turk in the sys- tenn are hy them robbed of their ter TOTS, and by their persevering and somewhat protracted use the most tainted systems may be completely renovated and built up anew. En- larged glands. tam0rs and sweliings dwiBdle away and disappear under the influence of these great resolv' en.s.
