prepared his paper as campaign document.
Reprodnced from The Record in the shape OF o
pamphlet it will circulate under sort OF
semi-official sanction as a speech deiiV-
cred in the House Of Representatives, and
If will thus command from the unwary GER
tain respect which nobody would think OF pay
ing to a stump speech made by DIR. AtKils
for his constituents. Those among whom IL
is distributed will never see what Is said on
the other side. and the impression VIII DC con-
yeyed that if it remains unanswered 1t Is De-
cauFe il is unanswerable. We hardly thlhk
that Mr.. Atkins will remember to mail with
his speech that part of The Record which cor
tains the speech of Dir. Foster.
The printing of unspOken speeches IN the
Government newspaper at the Government
expense is one of the meanest abuses OF the
age. There is nothing to be said IN It's de-
fence; it is a waste of money; 1t Is faislh-
cation of history it deceives, and is often IN
tended to deceive, the public it betrays Con-
eressmen into an infnity of wretched little
tricks, pretences and prevarications, TuinOus TO
their self-respect it gives dangerous advan-
tage to ignorance and dishonesty, and tempts
them to venture upon statements under cloak
of "Ieave to print" which they would
not dare to make on the floor OF Congress; IL
is mere device for the protection and en-
couragemeut of vanity, folly. and lying
Abolish it altogether. If we are to have any
official report of the proceedings in Congress,
let it be O faithful report of what is SAID, not
of what is omitted. At present The Record
contains quite too many speeches which the
authors had not the face to deliver. or Con-
gress had not the patience to listen to.

Senator Withers, CT Virginia, has arrived in
this city, in company with other representa-
tives of his State, in the hope of awakening
public interest in the many advantages which
it can offer to immigrants There ought to
be no doubt about the success of this mission.
The defeat of the attempt to "readjust the
debt of Virginia has strengthened the old
Commonwealth in the good opinion of the
industrious classes which it desires to attract,
and THE TRIBUNE has recently published
exhaustive accounts of the vast re
sources of this and neighbOring States, need
ing only intelligent labor to be developed.
The chief difficulty, and probably the only
one in the way of securing large immigra-
ton, is the fact that little capital is needed
to make the change. If the Virginia Com
mittee has come prepared to suggest prac-
ticable plan TO bridge the gap between the
State which wants the men and the men who
want to go to the State, its success ought to

Secretary Sherman spoke up plainly for re-
sumption at Wyoming yesterday, right in the
heart of the greenback region. He said he
was for resumption and for greenbacks that
were worth "the best dollar that was ever

for saying so.

be assured that the winking capacity of the
police is simply immense.

We sugges ted some time ago that the sharp
rivalry of the six railways from Brooklyn to
Coney Island would eventually result in CIV
ing rapid transit to the City of Churches.
Four of these roads penetrate no further than
the eastern and southern limits of the city,
three and four miles distant from the East River
ferries, and long and tedious rides in horse
cars must now precede the trip to Coney Island
by either of these lines. Already the company
which has made a new Summer resort at
Brighton Beach is preparing TO extend its line
to South Ferry. Various natural features favor
a depressed road and doubtless the later de-
velOpments as to the Objectionable features OF
The elevated roads in this city will lend
additional arguments in favor of such work
in Brooklyn.

The conviction of Hunter. at Camden, OF
the murder of Armstrong, closes an ex-
traordinary case in what must have been
to some an unexpected way. The theory
of the prosecution, which the jury has
now approved, was that Hunter took
out insurance policies upon Armstrong;
life as security for certain debts, and
then murdered him to obtain the money.
Two singular features of this remarkable case
were Hunters previous unblemished reputa-
ton, and the story of a witness that Hunter
had offered him five hundred dollars to do the
MURDER and when be failed finished the dread
full deed himself

Myths are but Symbols of Truth.

As the scholar secs in the vain but beautiful mythologies of the ancients the embodied expressions os the hum gry human soul, blindly groping after the infinite, So the physician sees in that popular myth of the sixteenth cen tury the fountain of perpetual health and youth---an expression of the long ings of suffering humanity for reme- dy that should forever prevent the in- cursion of disease. The wilds of Eu- rope were ransacked for this wonderful fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for it in the cypress-swamps and tan gled everglades of our sunny Flor ida. Men have searched for every where and anywhere but where it really is--in the human body itself. The blood is the real fountain of per- petual health and youth. When this source is corrupted, the painful and sorrow-prodpcing effects are visible in many shapes. The multifarious forms in which it manifes,s itself woul l form subjects upon which l might write volumes. But as all the varied io.ms of disease which depend upon bad blood are cured, or best treated, by such medicines as take up from this fluid and excrete from the system the noxious elements, it is not of practical importance that should describe each. For instance, medical authors describe about fifty varieties of skin disease, put as they all require for their cure very similar treatment, it is of no practical utility to know just what nanie to ap- ply to certain form of skin disease, so you know how best to cure 1t. Then again, might go on and describe va rious kinds of scrofulous sores, fever sores, white swellings, enlarged glands, and ulcers of varying appearance {; might describe how virulent poison may show itself in various forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony tumors, etc.. but as all these various appearing manifestations of bad blood are cured by uniform means, deem .uch ,l eoursc unnecessary T'horaugh-

DIED.

At his own residence in Russellville, Ark, on Friday March 15, 1878, al about } o'clock D. m., Judge Frank Thach.
 The sad event which we are paiaed to announce as above, although not un- expected to the many anxious friends of the deceased who had watched by his bedside fer the past four OF five days, caused a profound feeling of gloom among our citizens. The funer- al and burial took place Saturday at , o'clock, and the large and sorrowful funeral cortege which followed the re- mains to it's last resting place in the town cemetery betokened the high es- teem in which the deceased was held. The town has lost good citizen, the county faithful servant, and the be- reaved family an affectionate and low ing husband and father.
 May the sod be ever bright and green upon his peaceful resting place as his memory will be dear to all who knew him.

Col. Johnson, the City Attorne, has submitted his opinion on the point raised by the Council as to the power of the municipal government to enforce the State road laws within the limits of the city We think the position of the City Attorney clearly correct when he declares that muni- cipal corporations are seperate bodies, with seperate powers from those of the State, so far as works of improvement are concerned, and that the city cannot call out her citi- zens to work the streets under the road laws. The necessity for snpe- rior improvements in the matter of streets and highways is fundamen- tai idea in municipal government. To promote such improvements IS one of the chief reasons fort tie grant ot extraordinary power to the munlc- ipalty. Now that this proposition IS out of the question let the Council go to work for something more feas- ible. The city cannot longer toler- ate the present condition of her streets. Little Rock Gazette.
