tainments at the expense of the several
towns which he visits, and even travels
in special trains of cars furnished to
convey him from place to place. In
Sunderland, one of the towns which he
visited, he was handsomely entertained
by the municipal authorities on some
$4,000 of public money. The taxpayers
objected to this expense, and went into
the Courts to prevent the town officials
from levying. taxes to reimburse the
treasury to this extent, on the ground
that it was an unnecessary and illegal
expense. The taxpayers prevailed, and
the town officials will have the privilege
of paying the bill themselves under the
decision of Lord Chief Justice Cock
burn who held the expense to be illegal.
When the officials of Sunderland get
through paying for their banquet to
Grant they will realize what an expen-
sive dead.head the General makes him
self, and they will no doubt be surprised
to learn that such a man is in needy cir
cumstances. If Gen. Grant is really in
need, he will have to come down very
much in his style of living after he re-
turns TO America.

a second attempt to assassinate Kaiser
Wilhelm, Emperor of Germany, was
made last Saturday while he was riding
in the Avenue Unter-der-Linden, III
Berlin. A doctor of Philology, an agri.
culturist, named Karl Nobelgen, was the
assassin this time, and q double-barrel
shot gun, loaded with small and buck
shot, was his weapon. He fired twice,
lodging about thirty small shot in the
Emperor's face and arm, from the effects
of which he bled profusely and suffered
great pain. No serious apprehensions
are, however, felt OH account of his
wounds. When wounded his attendant
supported him, and Immediately carried
him to the royal palace, where his wounds
were cared for. Large crowds gathered
upon the streets, and great excitement
prevailed. Nobelgen is member OF
the Socialist clubs, and quantity OF
arms were found in his apartment. He
fired several shots at those who attemp-
ted to arrest him, and when he found
that he would be captured he attempted
to kill himself He admits that he is
the man who attempted the assassination,
but refuses to reveal his motive for doing
So. This would be good occasion for
Germany to have a hanging, and Nobel
gen would be capital subject.

The Republican friends of Gen. Grant
in the Senate seem in earnest about de-
string to retire him as General of the
army on the ground that he is in needy
circumstances, but it is shreYdly suspec-
ted that Blaine wishes to retire him in
order to get him out of the way of the
nomination for President in 1880, at
which time the Senator from Maine is
willing to become the Republican pack
horse and take the nomination, which ia
almost equivalent to defeat. The argu-
ment ebout Gen. Grants poverty is not
generally believed to be sincere, and the
Augusta Gr0uics 4: COastitutionalist puts
the situation forcibly as folloysl "Gen.
Grant is poor, very poor. He vas in the
service of the government for fifteen
years, and during that time received as
salary over FIVE hundred thousand dol
lars. His presents and perluisites prob
sbly amounted to two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars more. The Nation

The Laboratory of the System.

The stomach Is the laboratory Of the SYSTEM ip
which ceEta!!a mysterious processes are constantly
going on. These result in the production of that
wonderful vivifying agent the blood, which in q
state Of health rushcs laden with the elements of
vitality to the rcmotcst parts of the system. But
when the stomach Is seml-paralyzed By dyspepsia,
blood manufacture is carried on impcrfectly, tho
circulation grows thin and sluggish, and the Sys-
tenn suffers in consequence. Moreover, indigestion
reacts upon the liver and bowels, rendering the
first sluggish and the latter constipated. The
brain also suffers by sympathy and sick headaches,
slceplessness and nervous symptoms are engep7
dered. Hosteitcr's Stomach B!t.ers Returns this
state Of thiHgs gives permanent tone and regulari
ty to the stomach and Its associate organs, the
bowels and liver, and ensures complete nOurish-
mcpt and increased vigOr of the system. 1t is tho
most popular as well as the nost efficient anti.
dysncptlc and tonic in America.

And now Alexander II. Stephens is
the last subscriber to the Radical doc
trine that to investigate fraud is to Mex
icanize this government. 1t is a pity
that it was not Mexicanizcd, if this is
what the term means, about ten years
ago. It would have saved this country
of the disgrace heaped upon its public
service by the fraudulent conduct of its
Delanos, its Belknaps, its whiskey rings,
its nepotic president, and last and great
est, it would have prevented the Return
ing Board frauds, and averted the theft
of the presidency by the Republicans at
the last election. Mr.. Stephens does his
intellect and his patriotism very poor
justice when he has to borrow the Ian
guage of Eugene Hale and Postmaster
General Key to express his ideas. His
letter smacks strongly of a Republican
flavor, and was evidently written in sup
port Of these luminaries of the Radical
camp, against the action of the Demo-
Gratis, who are exposing the infamy of
the presidential steal. We will publish
Mr.. Stephens letter in full next week,
and our readers can forrn their own esti-
mate of his course. We hope the day is
not far distant when the country will be
free from the presence of such psuedo-
Democrats in the halls of Congress.

Smut and Rust in Grain.

When the farmers witness the destruc'
ton of so much of their grain by rust as
we see in our fields the present year, they
naturally give some thought to the cause
and means Of prevention. If we under
stand the case, then we are prepared to
some extent to apply remedies. That
some preventative application may be
applied, we have no doubt; and if Prof.
Prentiss is correct in the theory laid
down in his address recently delivered
at Ithaca, New York, there is at least
some hope Of commencing the use of
successful means of prevention on our
next wheat crops, The careful attention
of our farmers Is Invited to the follow.

Congress has past and the President
approved bill admitting works of art
imported from abroad free of duty. We
fail to perceive any valid excuse for such
legislation at this time. The argument
that it will tend to elevate and improve
the taste of our people by placing works
Of art within reach of many who would
not otherwise purchase them is all very
good if We were prosperous as nation
and as individuals, but at this tine we
need bread and meat decidedly worse
than We do paintings or statutes, and the
abolition Of import duties upon clothes,
sugars, coffees or iron would have reduced
the prices Of the ordinary necessaries of
life, thereby comforting upon The toiling
thousands of our nation far greater BEN
efs than the sentimental advantages
given by the permission to import pic
lures free.

Senator Blaine attempted on last FIJI
day to lacture the Democrats on the
point of seleetiog Judges, and, to cap his
impudence, accused tie Democrats of
selecting Judges on account Of their po-
litical opinions and services. He said (:
"For sixty years, from the time of John
Quincy Adams down to Abraham Lin
colns out of twenty-one Judges of the
Supreme Court appointed, there were but
TWO appointed not of Democratic faith"
EIe expected this to raise an extensive
argument from the Democrats, but sena-
tor Morgan very deliberately sat down
upon the Ma;Ss statesman with the
piercing reply: "Thst accounts for the

The Chairman Of the Republican State
Executive Committee Of Georgia has is
sued the following address, which has
the merit of candor if nothing more !:
ave believe the party should be fully
organized throughout the State, and that
. thorough canvass of each Congressional
District should be made by Republican
speakers. Rmey be best in some Districts
to support Independent candidates; but if
this policy is decided upon, it should be
by q Republican Convention properly
called and by delegates fairly chosen"
This dodge will be attempted in some
sections of this State, but our people will
not be surprised By it. It is we'll under
stood that any person who runs as an in
dependent candidate in South Carolina
this year is the Radical candidate pre-
sented under different name.

The ex-Republican statesmen who be-
come troublesome to the workers for good
government should at once be placed
under Indictment for their past crimes.
fnothing else will put quietus on such
men as Nash, Swails and Cardozo, they
should be safely housed for s. term Of
years within the walls of some public
prison., 1t may be that their long lease
of power in this State, and the easy life
Of fluxury they enjoyed, has caused them
to forget the humber but no less honest
and upright trades of life, but, ifso, a
term in our State penitentiary would
probably bring it back to their memory,
and in turn cause them to forget the
ways of politics. At least, the expert
ment should be tried if they do not cease
meddling with public affairs with which
their rascality shows them to be un-
worthy Of trust.

Congress has passed the appropriation
authorizing President Hayes to pay the
award of the Fishery Commission to
Great Britain, if he thinks the national
honor requires it. This is rather a
strange power to confer on President
charged with taking the Presidency
under the circumstances Mr.. Hayes ac-
cepted it. However, as his personal in
terests are not concerned in it, perhaps
Mr.. Hayes will not be unable to fulfill
the trust.

Hon. Alexander H. Stephens has tele-
graphed to Augusta that he will stand
for reelection to Congress from his dis
trict, and we hope that the result of the
election will leave him standing unelect-
ed. Mr.. Stephens is a man of fine in
tellectual powers, but as politician and
statesman he fills to the brim our idea of
a failure. Take away from him his
egotism and self.will, and he would be a
pitiable public man, but he has been in
the habit of telling people of his great
ness in unmeasured terms until many
have actually become his blind followers.
What he has ever done to justify this
following is not exactly easy to tell, un-
less it be the reputation ne has achieved
as a successful lawyer of ability. As a
statesman he has not been a success.
He has one of those peculiar tempera-
ments which induces him to consume his
force in fighting his friends, thereby
giving aid and comfort to his opponents.
AS Vice President of the Confederacy he
quarrelled with Mr.. Davis and the cabi-
net while the lines of the invader were
actually investing the Capitol of the
struggling government. As represen-
tative in Congress he has opposed his
party in many of the most important
matters. He advocated Grant for a
third term, and now he is joining with
the Republicans in opposing the investi-
cation of the Louisiana and Florida
presidential votes. He is, in his own
opinion, the embodiment of the wisdom
of his party, and although he refuses to
give his presence in a caucus, he arro-
gates to himself the privilege of berating
his political associates because majority
of them do not run away with his unrea-
sonable views. The people of Georgia
can secure much abler representative
than MIR. Stephens. They need repre-.
sentative who has the health and the
discretion to unite in the councils of
their party. They do not need as rep
resentative an invalid whose arrogance
asserts itself at the most inopportune
times, through dyspeptic epistles which
are scattered over the country in opposi-
ton to Democratic interests and to the
interests, as we think, of the people of
the United States. The election of an
avowed Republican would not be a
greater misfortune than the election of
Mr.. Stephens.
