National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1879-11-18

THE POTTER Committee should now be
revived. No other receptacle of perjury
than that organization could be expected
to swallow the downright lies sworn to by
the Ute Indians regarding the MEEKER
massacre, except, perhaps, the Secretary of
the Interior himself, who, if he is not a
receptacle of this kind, is at least in the
enjoyment of the receiptof several thousand
dollars year from the profits of the
Westliche Post, earned by traduciDg the Ad-
ministration of which he is member.
This bit of barefaced treachery undoubt-
edly qualities him for sympathy with and
belief in the tales of his congenial savage
friends on the border, In fact, the only diff
ference between him and them resides in
the fact that they shoot their friends in the
back to kill physically, while he stabs his
friends in the same way to kill politically.

THE anti-GRANT Republicans exhibit
more alarm than discretion at the pending
Southern movement i'll favor of his renomi-
nation. They see in it an offset for their
own votes against him. In fact, they are
now compelled to acknowledge that for
every" Liberal Republican vote the ticket
would lose because of his nomination it
would gain hundreds because of his grow
ing popularity in the South.

Southern States or the Richmond State to the
front to express the true nwardness of that
section to the world, and when they dis
cover how abhorrent their sentiments are
to the country they attempt in the most
cownrdly manner to discredt their own
agents. This they might do, perhaps, if
there was not so much concurrent testi-
mony to show that they are candid and
honest in representing Southern feeling
and sentiment. Duplicity and hypocrisy
cannot win in the end and hence TooMBs
is frank.

WHEN the first regular session of the
Forty fifth Congress began, ALECK STEPH-
EMS and DIR, FELTON,, the so.called Iudcpend-
ents, of Georgia, talked conservatism ex.
aclly us they are talking it now. And they
did the same at the beginning Of the late
extra session of the present Congress. But
with all their talk and prctense of inde-
pendence it yet remains for either one OF
them to take II decided stand against Bour-
bonism on the floor of the House.

IT is TO be feared that the pending cleo
ton in Louisiana will go Democratic, as
usual, by reason of theindilerence of North
ern Republicans to the result. Instead of
aiding their -partisans in that State
by speeches and active campaign work as
they should, these Northern Republican
leaCols are mainly engaged in sucking
their thumbs and rejoicing over Unified
North Meanwhile the eight electoral votes
Of that State are being gobbled up by the
Opposition in readiness for 1880.

Southern Democracy.

WASHINGTON. January pa meeting Of
Southern Democrats was held last night to
devise ways and means to choke off tho hot.
Seadtd discussion which was provoked in the
House yesterday BY General Bragg, of Wis,
consin. The Southern Conservatives very
much regret the speech of Mr.. Ellis, of
Louisiana. Mr.. Williams, of Alabama, said
to-day: II am very sorry. indeed, that tho
discussion came up, and especially that Ellis
should have hecn led into snying what he
did. | myself am Southern man, and all
my sympnthcs nrc with tho people of my
section. What Ellis says is true enough but
the effect Of such things may become disas.
trous The Democrats of tho South must at
all hazards maintain friendly relations with
those of tho North. 1t is comparatively
small thing if the party is beaten at the North,
considered locally, but defeat in the Souti,
means the utter ruin Of the white race. |
tell you the South is solid only in self.dcfenso.
We are Democrats not always from choice,
but from necessity. Where Rcpnbiranism
means carpet bag or negro rule and Demucr
racy means tho supremacy Of our own race,
no intelligent man need long hesitate as to
which party ho will join. Debate like that
of yesterday cannot do us any good. 1t sim
ply puts the party in a ridiculous attitude,
besides creating n bad feeling which is wholly
uncallcd lor."-Nc,o York World.

means of the oxigon they breathe. Indeed,
when wo contemplate tho lungs, tho most
delicate and wonderful of tho organs; when
we reflect that all tho blood of the BODY
passes through these lungs every few min
utes, for the sole purpose of being oxidized,
con We donbt that if from any reason this
task is impcrfcct]y performed somo great
evil must be the necessary result?
Tho idea is prevalent that consumption
is o cold or analogous to cold. This is u
mistaken idea, and one calculated to do
harm. as its prompts consump,ivo patient
to stay in the house, to keep in close rooms,
not to expose himself, and otherwise to
lead precisely the kind of life he ought not
to lead.
Consumption, then, to sum up, is plain,
specific disease, caused by the prcscnce in
the lungs Of little PARTICLES of unorganized
matter, called tubcrcles. The tubcrc!cs are
deposited in the lungs from the blood.
The leason why the blood deposits them is
that we have not sense enough to mako q
proper use of the boundess supply of oxy-
gen with which our Creator has supplied
u.s. There arc, Of course, exceptions to all
rules. Many persons have inherited such q
tendency 10 consumption that they arc
afflicted with the disease, although they
themselves may lead the proper kind Of
life
Ifmy theory is a true one, tho mode of
treatment to adopted by all persons threat.
encd or afflicted with consumption is obvi :
ous. AS it can rarely be cured when once
it has firmly seized upon the lungs, it is
clear we should do all in our power to pre-
vent it Abandon, if possible, sedcntary
life Spend all tho time you can out of
doors. Walk, ride on horseback, swim,
row boat, hunt fish, work in the garden
cut aud saw wood-do anything that will
make you breathe often and freely in lie
open air. BIowinga wind musical instln-
mcnt is good thug for a co,.sumptivc
man to do. Sleep in well ventilated room
and when you rise in the morning ini,tc
your lungs three or four times. Ii you
already have consumption you should do
this slowly and carefully. Batho frequently
and rub the skin with coarse towel
Keep the bowels open and eat as itch food
as you can digest, and drink moderately ale
and porter, generous wines and pure Ii
quors.
