Not Col. IngersoIl's "aristocracy Of the
air, but real human ghosts. Ghosts that
were once healthy men aud women, but
are now simply the ghosts Of what they
once were" As we meet them, and in
quirc the cause of all this change, they re-
peat the old, old story, "a cold, neglect
ed cough" 'catarrh," "overwork," or
dyspepsia, liver complaint" aud con
stipatioD," with unsuccessful physicians
and remedies. In Offering his Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets for the cure Of the above affections,
DR., Pierce does not recommend them as a
"sure cure" IN all stages For if the lungs
be half wasted away, or there be cancer

can cure. The Discovery is, however, an
unequaled pectoral and blood purifier. 1t

the Republican members gave assurance
that they would not object to the presenta-

purpose of having it printed and recommit-

being to afford the minority an opportunity

SENATE.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, June l.-Consideration
was resumed of the Mcdonald resolution
to authorize the use of troops in certain
cases aud repeal certain election laws.
Senator Hill began his speech on the
bill by saying he intended to reply to per-
sonsi illusions, but not to retaliate nor
make personal attack on any Senator.
He said his vote in the Georgia conven-
ton was against accession, but the seces-
sion resolution was adopted by the conven-
ton, and that it was only a question of
whether the citizens Of the State should
uphold its solemn action 10 the convention
lie therefore signed the orliusnce Of Sc
cesslon after its passage, as did all his COLI
leagues, though one third Of the members
voted with him against it.
Senator Hill accused Blame of misreo-
reseuting his record aud his speech. He
then, at considerable length, gave his
torical statement of the feeling throughout
the South, as to whether secession ought
to be attempted. The substance of it was
that the citizens of the South generally
conceded that whenever State decided
to secede, no matter what was the prefer
| enco OF each individual on the subject. he
! should 20 with his State. Many did on
pose secession aud wanted 20 cogDnrornise
Blaine had simply nisrcpreseuted him
dou6ly, and had been witty and smar;
when he (iIill) was seven hundred miles
away. lie had not claimed that the Re.
puDlicans did not help save the Union, but
would they have succeeded without the
aid Of the Democrats who were in the
army? iIe denied that he had been il
favor of retaliatory measures during tht
war, but on the contrary he had tried t.
suppress them. he vindicated himsel
fro'n many charges which had been hurlet
at him. Although his political euemie
had sent men through the South to io0i

party, the war, aud reconstruction. bu

Placing tho Responsibility.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 7, 1879.
TO the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: was delighted to read short edi-
torial paragraph In The REPUBLICAN of this
morning, in which you place the responsibility
of for "the suppression of loyalty and the dis
persion of the Republican party in the South
ern States" in the right place. 1t was tho cow
ardice and imbecility, added to the ignorance
Of some of the Northern Republican leaders,
that caused it. In some letters of mine, pub.
lishod in The REPUBLICAN,, few months
since, made this same statement, and gave
the evidence of it, l am glad to see an inhu-
ential Republican paper like THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, endorsing my position.
am glad to know that most of the men,
who are Republicans have seen the error of their
ways, and are no longer deluded by the siren
songs ofthe Southern demagogues of the Lamar
stripe; that it is now being understood that
the Southern Republicans knew what was
best for that country, and the character and
designs of the Southern Democracy. 1t is not
! profitable, but IL Is some qualification for us
! from the South, to be able to say to these
Northern Republicans, 1--WE told you So"
said most OF those "who are Republicans" "
| have rocanted. / do not include in that list
such men as appoint or keep Democrats iu of.
| nee, Gilherln the south or elsewhere. In the
South it is an insult to the integrity and ca.
paciry of the Republicans in the North, and
here it is wrong inflicted not only upon in
dividual members of the party, but upon the
party ITSELF Whenever the Administration
removes all Its Democratic appolptees from the
| highest to the lowest-I mean from the imbe
cile old man who represents the country in
Brazil to the Sl2 postmasters who receive the
Governments money and talk about "Presi.
dent Tildcn-I shall think that it has seen the
error Of its ways, and is endcavorng to build
up the Republican party, North and South in.
stead of tearing 1t down,
As John Sherman is the brains and nerve OF
| the Administration, and is n candidate for the
Republican nomination, backed up by the Ad,
ministration, he ought to see that the way to
make himself popular candidate would be Ia
clean out all the Democrats now In office and
put good Republicans in their places. But
have wandered from my subject which was
merely to thank you for telling the exact truth
as to how the Southern Republicans wer,
crushed, SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN,.
