HANNIBAL HAMLlN AS A PROPHET.

HANNIBAL HAMLlN AS A PROPHET.
A good story is told about Hannibal
lIamlin, who Is one Of the oldest senators,
and who is yet unreconcilad with the adj
minstration. The venerable Hamlin has u
very marked down-cast accent He was
one OF the party Of Republican senators
who, early in the Hayes administration,
called upon the president to demonstrate
with him upon his Southern policy, Dur
ing the conference Mr.. Hamlin occupied II
back seat and sat with his hands rammed
down to the bottom of his brecchcs pockets,
while his head leaned forward on his
breast. He was an intent listener to all
that was said, both by the senators and the
president. He listened with special in
tcrcst when the president commenced to
talk about the possibility Of his policy.
The president was in his most genial, hope
ful mood. He spoke IN glowing terms 81
the beauties OF the common Brotherhood:
that sectionaliiy should bc forgotten, and
that the sweet spirit Of Christian influence
should come to purify the contests Of poll
tics. "Our Southern brcthercn have erred, !
said nc; shave l,een bitterly punished, and
now let us forgive and forget. Let US, dear
senator's, take the crrng brother to our
bosom ami convince him Of the warm
thrObbing Of orr hearts for him that he ~ tt'

THE STOCK YARD MONOPOLY
Of Chicago is an object of attack from vari-
Gus quarters IN the General Assembly. Some
idea Of the abuse and monopolistc tcndcn.
cies Of the stock yard may be seen from
the fact that the receipts alone from yard
age during last year have been $1,000
900. When one compares the price paid
for hay, about s. per ton, with the price
asked, sec per ton, and actually charged
and obtained by the managers from the
farmers and stock men, ii is not surprising
to see unrest and disposition to regulate
that corporation by legislation. Complaints
of abuse and eXtortion are being made
every day against this immense corporation.
THE REVENUE LAW,
as it now exists in this state, has not yet
met with any positive assailmcnt. 1t still
remains a vexed question with Legislative
minds, and it is Il matter Of doubt whether
the General Assembly will solve the con-
gIomeration Of tangled webs
The great outrage OF the law is the fact
OF its burdening one class OF taxpayers and
relieving another. Those who We're instru-
mental in imposing this law upon Illinois
need not attempt to shirk the responsibility
by saving, I'VE did not know how it would
work" Those who now hold positions
high up in authority know Of it, for they
were told of it time and again and
should have needed. This law, how
ever, was enacted solely for the purpose OF
making the farmers, merchants, and me-
chanics bear the burden while the corpora
tons were TO go scot free, and this has
has been the practical operation of the law,
namely, to relieve over $50O,O00,000 Of the
taxable property Of the nabob and $780,
100000 of railroad property, and placing
the additional burden upon the labor and
industry of the state.
1t is from this cause the great ou'crop-
ping of the internal revenue law was first
seen in the board" bureaus of the state
From it has come the cqualizers and the
railroad regulators and the reverend charity
suckers.

Florida all Right.

The Washington Post of the 9th, says. "Florda will be represented in the next House of Representatives by two Democrats. Full and com plete returns have been received from all the doubtful counties in the Second district, and Gov. Noble A. Hull is returned elected by ninety three majority over his radical com petitor, the festive Bisbee. This result Is attained, without throwing out single ballot, no matter how irregular it may be in form or other wise. In Alachua county many votes were cast for the Radical candidate, with each different spelling of his name, but they were all counted, as if for one man. Brahaud county was the last to hear from, and tue big Democratic majority which she rolled up decided the contest. This gives us the nineteen states on the unit representative vote. California should make the twentieth.

AND WITNESSES
 FEES IN CERTAIN CASES.

From the following opiLlon by Atty Gen'l Henderson it will be seen that in certain cases jurors and witnesses are left, under the present fee bill, without any compensation whatever:
 ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,t
 LITTLE Rock, Nov. 25, 1878.
 Dear Sir,--Mr. McKennon's s letter. concerning compensation to jurors and witnesses in cases of bastardy, is before me.
 By some singular oversight the Legislature seems 10 have failed to provide for sucL cases. The general fee bill law of February 26, 1875, so far as compensation ofjurors and wit nesses is concerned, is still in force see sections 3S and 39, and an ex- animation of these sections fails to disclose aly provision for such cases as you put. In my opinion, there fore, they are entitled to no compen- sation. Very respectfully,
 W. F. HENDERSON.

An Astonishing Fact.

large proportion of the Amercan people are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result ot these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as |. ought to he. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejnd'oe and skepticism, take the advice of drug gists and your friends, and try one bottle of Greens August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisiac- tory results in every case.

The ascertainmenJ of the fact that both of the representatives from Florida will he democrats, puts q somewhat different aspect upon that oft discussed question which party will have a majority of states Tn the house in case the presidential vote is thrown there. Florida makes nineteen states for the democrats to eighteen for the republicans, with one state delegation tied. California yet remains to be heard from. Should that state send a democratic delegation to congress the required majority. twenty states Will be secur ee for the democracy; should It go republican. on the other hand it will not benefit that party in the least as the republicans will then have only nineteen states one less than the requisite majority.

Whatever name or designation IS given to cause of Fever and Ague, or other intermittent disease, it is always malaria. Eliminate that from the sys- tenn, and sure cure is the immediate result. The safest, surest, most effect ual and, at the same time, perfectly harmless preparation for producing this happy effect, is CLItFoRD's FEBkI- rUGE. It represents, in their utmost purity and free from all irritating prop ei ties, the remedial principles of the East India Cinohona bark, as grown on the Neilgherry hills. It is the most powerful antidote to malaria known, and yet as harmless as water.

the Keystone vein, and have already
met with the most fiattering indica-
tions. Their mine Is known us the
Golden Chariot, on which they have
expended considerable labor.
A Laramie City paper says a party
vent over to North park last week
and brought in some of the newly dis
covered coal. 1t is a very superior
quality of Ignite. Some experiments
were made in coking it, and on n small
scale 1t was a success. Some specimens
OF 1t are being sent away for analysis.
That specimen Of it brought in is
merely top coal, which for ages has
been exposed to the air and water, and
cannot be a fair specimen, but 1t is
very fne coal for all that.
