The New York Sun very properly
suggests that the doctors in Mem
phis give their undivided attention
to the yellow fever, and stop their
chickering's and quarrels until winter,
when they will have more leisure,
and 1t will look in so much better
taste than doing it now.

1t is stated that Gen. Ewing, in
his Democratic canvass for Govern
or of Ohio, is making a strong
point on the fact that his party
since having the majority in the
House of Representatives, has eff.
fected great economies in the ad-
ministration of the Government
The notorious fact, however, is
pointedly made, that since the Dem
ocrats obtained the mastery of the
House the lobby has utterly disap-
peared from Washington, which is
an argument every farmer and me-
chanic in Ohio can understand.
1t means that huge and wasteful
leaks in the treasury have been
stopped.

The Department of Agriculture
reports that the direct losses TO
sheep owners by the ravages of
dogs reach 100000 annually in
wool and mutton. The indirect loss
in preventing sheep husbandry in
many districts, especially the south,
and consequent waste of a large
percentage of the grass crop. may
be probably placed at double this
sum annually.

The Soldier in Politics.

The best speech thus far made in the
Congressional debate Is the one by Sena-
tor Conkiing This appears to be gener
ally conceded CnuklIng's speech is an
able and comprehensive argument on the
power OF the general government TO pro-
trct the ri lhts and franchises of the citi
I'm He antagon'z-s the Democratic
doctrine of State Rights, as elucidated 10y
such politicians as Black burn, Frank
IIurd and the Democratic majority. His
speech Is broad and catholic in spirit and
is well fortified in every point. 1t is
really the only great effort of the entire
debate
Some points brought out by Mr. Conk
ling are worthy the careful attention of
those Republicans who are so lavish in
their praises and SO loyal to the men who
offered their lives III the Union army -
Much capital is sought to be made out of
the d-plorable fact that there are now in
both branches of Congress more Conted-
crate than Union soldiers. Conkling
gives some vital statistics on this point,
to-wit: That while the North pays
l6 l7Ihs of the entire revenues of the
country, or $22l 900 900 of the $235 600,
600 collected last year, the little faction
from the South representing | 18th of
the amount, or $13 600 600 relegAtes to
itself abs olute power in the matter of the
appropriations of the Government. Conk
ling also showed that there were almost
twice as many Confederates as Union
soldiers in the present Congress.
just now the Republicans are seeking
to make much capital out oi this fact
Let us inquire who is to blame for this
condition OF affairs We will concede
that the South is To blame for sending up

stroy the country from 1861 to 1865 But
Is the South to blame because the North
has sent so lew Union soldiers to Con

Sourh to blame because no men OF great

john A. Logan, are in either branch OF
Congress? We rather think not Who

claims of all the Union soldiers in the
United States and appointed an East
Tennessee rebel bushwhacker to a seat
in his Cabinet. 1t was only two years
ago that Republican State Convention
in Ohio, insulted every Union soldier in
the State by endorsing the treachery in
the White House by which Packard and
the Louisiana Republicans were betrayed.
and endorsed the Cancellation policy of
appointing rebels to office, and holding
up the loyal Southern Republicans as
carpet baggers. adventures and thieves.
The Union soldiers have good memories.
They do not forget the ovations given
this man Hayes by Republicans in Tole-
do as well as in Chattanooga, when he
opened his Judas lips to pronounce prsi-
ses upon the rebels and to hold up the
war of the Rebellion as a contest between
Greeks. These things all happened less
than two years ago, and we do not for
get that Garfield and Foster and Stanley
Matthews, and the whole rebel gang,
now so fercely denounced, then stood
shoulder to shoulder with open mouths
and extended palms, shouting glory to
Hayes and the glorious policy of concilia-
tion
We do not forget that in the city of
Toledo and this Congressional District,
the policy of scalping Union soldiers was
successfully carried out, and the men
who did the scalping are now holding up
their hands in hypocritical horror at the
spectacle of so many Confederates in
Congress. We have man in Toledo to-
day signing whisky and beer stamps at
$l2 day who displaced Union soldier,
and who during the war opposed the
emancipation OF slavery, and who after
the war, was a meek and lowly follower
for otfice-of Andy johnson. We have
man put in to the post Office, who, while
doubtless a meFitorious man, was never
heard of during the war, and yet he dis
placed Captain Bowling who was well
nigh shot to death at the head of a bat
TALON at the fierce and bloody battle of
Franklin, and whose gallantry was made
the subject of a general order These are
only specimen cases. The South il full
OF instances oi Union soldiers turned out
of Office by Hayes to give place to rebels.
Now the Republicans have commenced
to wake up But we want to see less
talk and more practical results While
a rebel bushwhacker occupies Cabinet
position, and draft sneaks and iawning
hypocrites occupy the local offices. the
true soldiers will take but little stock in
this reawakened loyalty.

Exodus.
BY JAMES B. CHADWICK.

oh thou North Star, that guided our fathers
of yore.
AS they fed from the letters that rankle nc
mOra,
Must their children, aweary, yet grope meath
thy rays,
And still trust, like their sires, in the light OF
thy blaze?
Shall the Cross that burns brightly on yon
Southern sea,
Light but fresides deserted, but pilgrims who
flee d?
Must the people turn, weeping, with wallet
slaves,
From the land that has nursed them, or here
linger slaves?
Shall the chains that were broken ere Lincoln
was slain,
On the limbs ofthe IowIy be welded again?
And the darkness of bondage return 70 this
shore?
Point us then, oh! thou North Star, some
haven of peace,
Where our feet may find rest, where oppression
shall cease,
Where our children, unfearing, may cling to
our knees,
And their hearts beat as free as the glad sum
mer breeze;
Where the spirit of Freedom the Nation
When the red torch of Treason her temples
profaned.
To the least of her sons shall gush, free as the
rillS,
Or as the dew upon Hermon that evening dis
tills.

purpose Of preventing this kind of out
rage upon the tax payers of the State.

Toledo Sunday Journal
Hayes Veto.

The natural uncertainty attending Mr..
Hayes consideration of the Army Bill
was such that it is not to be woadei ed
that when the news of the veto came,
special demonstrations were resorted to
by the Republicans to express their sat
isfaction. 1t certainly was a most re-
markable spectacle and one worthy of
record.
That a mar, elected as Republican,
with Republican precedents. with the ac-
cdmulated experience of long line of
statesmen, and the expressed principles
OF his party. to guide him, should have
been SO be.fuddled by sudden elevation
as to utterly forget whether he, or his
party, had any past, present or future
any principles to maintain. or any policy
to defend, is certainly curious problem
for the social aud political philosopher.
But all this aside. the fact remains
that after two years Hayes. for the first
time, squares his toes to the line of pol
icy fixed by the party whose views he
pledged himself to carry out in all faith
ulness and fidelity And for once,
neither hot or cold, he is not spewed out
of the peoples mouth.
The journal stood among those who
warned him that his policy would make
a solid South, that the adder he nursed
would yet turn and sting him. that the
men he warmed into favor would be the
first to turn and rend him. Retribution
is certain and Hayes and his whole crawl
ing, cringing gang of newspaper and Off
cial sycophants deserve to see their
sickening sentimentality covered with
confusion and contempt.
We would remind them once more that
when they turn their eyes upon the old
flag hauled down in the South to give
place to the State flags, hung at half
mast for the Confederate dead. upon the
g.unt forms and hungry faces of the
armies OF the Exodus, that they, and
they alone, are to blame for it all.
If there is any com Tort in this rehec-
ton we hope they will make the most
of it.
