AS to the Okolana paper, the Southern
States, which seems so much to occupy
the minds of the republican revolution
screamers, a report is made 10 the Chi
cago Times by its correspondent who visi-
ted its Office last week. He reports Sol.
ALT. w. Harper, senior editor and pro-
prietor of the Southern States, less tru
culent swashbuckler, less ferocious fire
eater, in short, more harmless specimen

turnips in pay for his paper" He is a

ical thunder in the north, which is quoted
in Congress, and causes the Speakers

porary occupant may vindicate himself
from charges of utilization or sympathy
with it, its intrinsic insignifcance may best
be shown by few figures. Access to its
subscription lists was, of course denied.
But as the paper is what is known as a
patent outside" and this is furnished
from st. Louis, it was not very difficulty
matter to ascertain the number of copies
printed. An examination Of the station
agents books shows the weights of the
packages received here to have been 40,
AZ, 43, As and As pounds to the ream,
which is about the weight of the paper
used, would give totals of sos, $50,
545, SIS and 5S7 copies, respectively, Tor
the issues OF April 2, 9, Is, % aud 80.
Upon the same basis of calculation it is
found that its circulation declined from
the 18th of March, up to which time it had
been pretty steady at about 5S7 to about
$50, at which figures it remained until the
issue of April 9,when it began to increase
The loss is attributed here to the detection
Of home patronage; and it is asserted that
its gain now is entirely from the north, aud
that this is sufficiently large to conceal a
steady and continuous dropping off Of the
old subscribers.

The Riders.

The passage of the bill to prevent mil
itary interference at the polls, is an indica-
ton that the democrats have no intention
of receding from their original position in
favor of free elections. When the army
bill was discussed in the house, Garfield
and other republicans declared their will
Hngness to vote for the repeal OF the OBJ
noxious clauses if presented separately.
The republican press with great unan-
unity pretended to oppose the passage OF the
riders because of the manner in which
they were presented. The fraud who &C.
cupies the presidential chair through sut-
ferance, seized upon the pretext furnished,
and with great stress dwelt upon the
evils of political legislation attached to ap-
preparation bills Yesterday in the house,
however, when the bill came up for pas
sage, Garfield and the rest of the preten-
ders did Just what every democrat expect
ed they would devoted with the repub-
licans and thus ignored their utterances of
week ago. This furnishes further proof
Of the real snimus of republican opposi-
ton to these measures. It shows con-
clusively that the cry of revolution was
raised not because the originators be-
heved it-not that the country was really
in danger NOT that it was necessary for
the good of the people that the obnoxious
laws should be retained in the statutes,
but that the only, real reason
the republicans had for opposing the
riders was that. without the use of troops,
and the presence at the polls of unprinci.
pied scoundrels in the guise Of federal
supervisors, the republican party was dead.
The radicals may seek to hide the real is
sue by raising false cry of revolution but
underneath, the real reason is discerned
by all thinking men. Shorn of pretext
for veto it is doubtful how the great pre-
tender will act when the bill is presented
him for approval. Whatever the result
however, the democrats are stronger than
ever, because should Hayes veto the pres
eut measure, the republican party will
then be squarely on record as opposed to
free and fair elections and in favor of
bayonet rule. If he signs it, then will the
democrats be indicated because it will be
an admission that the republican party
dare not go before the country in 1880
pledged to a policy of usurpation and in
favor of the overthrow of the time honored
principle of a free and untrammelled bal
lot. Democrats have all to gain and moth
ing to lose by persistently adhering to the
patriotic policy they have outlined, and the
people, whose representatives they are,
will not be slow to rebuke the democrat
who shows evidence of weakening. Tt
recede now wonld be suicidal.

CorneriuT Logan.

The excitement attendant upon the in-
eticytuaI effort OF the Alabama Colonel to
induce the Union General to settle their
differences upon the field OF honor" hav-
ing died away, it becomes of interest to
decide whether or not the charge that
Logan did enlist men for the Confederate
service and then himself took service in
the Union army to shoot them down,
because the pay was better" has auy
shadow of foundation. General Logan has
denounced the charge as an infamous and
malicious falsehood; but it happens that
he is an interested witness and his testi-
mony has been discre3ited by the follow
ing affidavit published in the Colum bus

l went from Williamson County, Illinois,

The question has now assumed shape
in which it can be decided only by the pre-
ponderance of testimony. The charge is
made By Congressman Lowe that he
fought side side by side with men who in
sisted that they had been enlisted by Lo-
gan for the confederate service. Logan de.
MES the charge, but John G. Wheatley
swears that loves statement is true in
every essential particular, and dozens Of
men can be found in this city to-day whose
experience during the war was similar tc
that set forth by the Albanian, ., e.,they
met men 10 the Confederate army who as.
serted that they had been induced to take
that side by the influences if not the
personal solicitations of General Logan
The dispute then stands thus: A definite
charge, sustained by several disinterested
and credible witnesses, is Offset only by
the positive denial of the one who of al
others has personal interest in inducing
the country to disbelieve it. Any fair
minded, unbiased man must admit tha
the preponderance of testimony is against

The republicans want the troops at the
polls to keep democrats from voting; they
want the supervisors to do the dirty work
planned by INSCRIPTIONS leaders of the

Why Submit to the Discomfort and
humiliation entailed by "a local disease
of the skin, when GLENN's SULPHUR
SOAP will rid you of it with certainty
and despatch? 1t is a remedy which
never fails to relieve cutaneous disease
and, as a means Of banishing defects of
the complexion, it is equally reliable.
The Benefits arising from the use of
Sulphur Baths, in cases of skin disease
and of rheumatism and govt, are well
known. but the cost is too heavy to
be incurred by many persons who
would otherwise take advantage of
them. GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP answers
the same purpose, and is both inexpeu-
sive and convenient. No one need stir
abroad III search of asulphur bath who
has this admirable means of prOvid-
ing one indoors. 1t is incomparably
the best deOdOrizer and disinfectant of
clothing and bed linen in use, and pre-
vents diseases of an obnoxious nature
caused by contact. Sores, ulcers,
bruises, scalds, cuts, and sprains are
promptly remedied by it; and its clean
ly, healing and soothing properties
constitute it far more desirable RENE
