Welcome to Northern Emigrsn is In the
South.
Editor National Republican:
A Northern family now residing in Charleston,
s. c., had au experience recently which illus
trstes the kind of welcome that Northern
capital and Northern citizens receive, when
they are 80 foolish as to go there, and so unfor-
tunate as not to DO able to get away again.
This is the story A favorite dog that had
become tho cherished pet of their children
to one of the Southern children who was seek
ing in every way to torment 1t, gave in return,
snarl ono day, no bite nor the signs of any.
A fuss was gotten up and the owner was re-
quired to give up the dog to be shot by the city
authorities. To save the heart break such an
order gave to his children, the owner expressed
the dog to Philadelphia, where its life would be
safe. Meantime, said my informant, -four
negroes were shot down BY white men, and
no notice taken of it p Ex-Attorney Gen
eral Ayerman told me that he had counted
twenty-five negroes killed in twenty-six days
in Georgia, and no notice taken Of any Of the
murders"
In Mississippi political murdsrers do not
fear punishment half as much as the
judge fears for his life II he dares to try them
The forms Of law become a farce there, and
the murderers of the young the lovely, and
the good, care so little for the courts that
they dare not try them; that they
do not even appear when the day of trial Il
set. In South Carolina good men, wht
have faithfully served the State, arr
thrown into prison on the testimony of self
convicted thieves, and peuured testimony; In

National Agricultural Congress.

The National Agricultural Congress, which
is composed Of both delegated and elective
members, had no connection with the agri-
cultural convention which assembled sew
eral years ago, at the United States Agricul-
tural Department, on the subsequently,
regretted call Of the then Commissioner
MIR. WATTS. We say subsequently re-
GREETED" because, while it evidently had
been called to strengthen him in his posi-
hon its batteries were so completely turned
against him by the gentlemen who got con-
troll Of 1t rs to produce an opposite effect,
much to his chagrin and disgust.
Those readers aware Of the untoward fact
to which we have alluded were not much
surprised to see card in an evening paper
from the present worthy Commissioner,
disclaiming, with considerable emphasis Of
language, the use Of his name as one Of a
committee of arrangements and welcome to
the body Of colaborers in the same cause
with himself, who are very properly called
to meet at this national centre on Tuesday.
After the untoward fate of his predecessor
it would not have been surprising had he
exhibited an instructive dread of the COM

THE cOnaagration which destroyed the
building and material OF the Troy Times
is to be deplored, for it has wiped out one
of the finest printing establishments in the
country, and interfered in some degree with
the prosperity of IN able Republican jour
nal 1t is said that the editor, when ruin
came and he painfully considered the as
poet Of affairs, coolly remarked: There is
no time for crying now. We must set to
work and get out another issue of the
Times" With such a controlling spirit mis-
fortune weighs lightly and retards slightly.
We are gratitied to know that the Times
will go right on as if nothing had hap
pened, beyond the loss of valuable taber-
nacle in which it has heretofore dwelt. 1t
has wealth, prosperity, and popularity to
float 1t over this misfortune.

WEhave no idea that silver dollar of the

the combination which silver must combat.

THE Hon. THURLow WEED writes to a
friend in this city under recent date: II
earnestly hope that the silver bill will be SO
amended that should it encounters veto it
will be strong enough to prevail We can
not consent to anything short of the full re-
monetization of silver. But in weight and
fneness the silver dollar should be made
intrinsically worth a dollar. And to meet
objections, and quiet nervous apprehen-
sions, think it would be wise to limit the
annual amount of coinage"

Proposed District Government.

The bill for new form of government of
this District, reported from the House Com
mittee by Mr.. BLACKBURN, is monde
script. The present name is retained. A
triumvirate is provided for-one officer of
the Engineer Corps, with rank above major,
to be detailed by the President for term
of three years, to be assigned to no other
duty one to be chosen by the Senate, and
one by the House, for three years each.
These two must have been residents of the
District for ten years. These appointments are
in conflict with the Constitution, which pro-
vides that all offices shall be filled by Exec
utive appointment, unless minor ones are
by law vested in the heads of Departments
or the courts of law. OF course this pro-
vision will insure veto of the bill. An
elective council of twenty members is
provided for, each member Of which must
bs freeholdsr to the amount of $4,000
and have been Eve years resident Of the
District to render him eligible.
The Commissioners are not required to
have any property qualifications At all but
members Of the eOsncil must own real prop
erty the assessed value Of which is 5000

believe that Mr.. BLAIR il the only one of
Mr.. LNCoLN's Cabinet ministers yet alive.
What Mr. SPEED will think of his untimely
taking of when he hear of it out in Louis
willie, II he ever does hear of it, we leave the
reader TO imagine. Then there is ex-Sec-
rotary McCULLocH, who may object to be-
ing epitaphed under the glttering reputa-
ton of the would-be resurrectionist Of Mr..
TrLDEN. As matter of pertinent history,
we add that Mr. LTNCoLN's original Cabi-
net was composed Of Messrs. SEWARD,
CHASE, SMITH, WELLEs, BATES, CAMERON,
and BLAIR. Mr.. CAMERON was succeeded
by Mr. STANTON Mr. CHASE by Mr.. FEs-

BLAIR by Governor DENSIsoN Mr. BATES
by Judge SPEED, and Mr.. SMITH by Mr..

II Is said of Bob INGERsoLL that he per-
ished, so far as New York is concerned, Of
coarseness. People do not like slang, OF

neither himself, his audience, nor his sub
ject the slightest compliment in his effort Of
couple of weeks ago. So say the people Of

Editor National Republican:
AS your journal affords tho best mode of
reaching the attention of national men,
through 1t, with your permission, would
submit to such few considerations upon the
above caption. First. No longer does 1t re-
qure statesman of the first magnitude to ses
where we are fast drifting under the effect of
retiring the currency. Ruin! Ruin has it
been to all business spheres of this nation since
the day it was inaugurated and now, with I'M
precedented rapidity, down goes national life;
national prosperity is almost extinguished in
all the business departments. And to these
does the nation owe its existence much more
than to such ffth-rate politicians as we
have and have had experimenting with the
national life, for the finances Of a nation are
Its life in Its various branches. Contraction
has already contracted all business depart
ments, excepting the law department, so CT
fectually that there is scarcely anything do.
ing or being done to build up the nation. The
Roman patrician age Is upon u.s. Our mas
tiers, the bond -holders, hold over US both bonds
and office. We are the pleabians who are to
support them in their love of gold in their
love of Office, in making the rich the richer
and the poor the poorer. For the rich have
they legislated well, but for the general inter
est of the great industrial classes shameful
neglect has characterized every Congress since
the war. Rings rings seem to have been the
order aud in this great ring business first of
all stands the money ring. Now the peabians
are forced to form their ring, and, like their
exemplars, will have to decapitate. Yes, sir;
at the East, West, North, and South there is
but one feeling permeating the body polite
of our land, and that is change the dynasty
Our land is filled with the cry of want by rea.
son of standard currency. All values OF
professions and properties have almost dried
up. y

A Dangerous Item.

We do not remember in what
journal we first saw the following eX-
tract as an original item but, since
it has recently been copied without
comment by several contemporaries, at
tention should be directed to it. The
article states that:
IA poison of any conceivable de-
scription and degree of potency, which
has been Intentionally or accidentally
swallowed, may be rendered almost
instantly harmless by simply swallow
ing two gills of sweet oil. An indi-
vidual with very strong constitution
should take nearly twice this quantity.
This oil will most positively neutralize
every form of vegetable, animal, or
mineral poison with which physicians,
and chemists are acquainted"
The idea that sweet oil will neutral
ize such poisons as prussic acid, nico-
tine, strychnine, curare, and host of
others less speedy in their action, is
almost two absurd to demand refuta-
ton. In some cases, when taken into
the stomach in large quantities, it may
serve to involve acrid and poisonous
substances and mitigate their action,
until the arrival Of physician with
specifics shall relieve the patient from
danger; but it is not to be used in all
cases, for its administration, for in
stance, Immediately after the swallow
ing of corrosive mineral acid, such
as oil of vitriol, would be followed by
most fearful results.
AS the great multitude of poisons
known to the physician and chemist
are classified according to their varied
mode of action on the animal economy,
it is evident that the method of treat
ment in cases of poisoning must like
wise vary. There can be no one spe-
cific for all.
1t is to be hoped that no one will be
simple enough to try this antidote I;
for if he does, the absurd person who
penned the quoted statement may
have a human life to answer for
Scientific american.
