SENATOR HILL ON THE REPUBLICANS. -
Senator Benjamin H. Hill, of Georgia, says {:
"The democratic party is the party of the
future. 1t will govern this country for the
good of the country. do not doubt there are
some among Us least suspected BY our people

for certain combinations in $780, | warn them

nent republican at the North who is willing to
make slight concession to the South on the
Presidential ticket or otherwise, except on co.,
dition of utilization with the republican party,
The southern man who, under any pretext
shall be wiing to affiliate with the party which
disfranchised the Intelligence, virtue aud prop
erty of the South, aud placed them all under
the dominion of ignorance and vigilance; which
used the army to protect their villains while
they were robbing Us which is using the pat-
ronage Of the government to reward the guilty
authors of Presidential larceny. and which is
making sovereign States but houses Of refuge
for the escaning criminals of their carpet bag
crew; may expect nothing but his own political
dishonor, degradation and death.

A POISONOUS COURT ROOM.

To THE EDITOR HERALD:-
The present sanitary condition Of the District Court
room. corner Of Twenty-second street and Seventh
is such to call for the prompt Intervention
of the proper authority The atmosphere the days
that Court is held there is such to produce the
most injurious effects upon judge. attorneys and
suitors. The room is usually crowded, and being
without any ventilation the odor can only be
compared to most noxous sewer gases In addition to
the perfume arising from the stable beneath and
halatons from uncleanly persons. there comes from
the large stove continuous stream OF coal gas Con-
ceive these odors in combination and you have at
mosphcrc which for noxousness cannot be excel1ed.
The effect on Judge Gedney. who is the pre-
siding Justice here is such that he is under
medical treatment for malarial poison, and is
obliged to leave the Bench from the effects Of the foul
atmosphere. Will the Commissioner Of Public
Works look into this matter? II he could spend an
