Diseases arising Therefrom

The fact is sufficiently es abolished in the public mind that very large class of diseases originate a vitated and impure state of the blood, and that such diseases can be removed by such remedies only as enter the circulation and produce their therapeutic effect directly upon the cause There are many external and foreign causes, as well as interoal. by which the blood may become impaired, but the alimentary cavity including the stomach is the principal avenue through which the causes of disease commit thel- depredations on the vital economy The stomach is peculiarly centre of irritation and sartlny point of disease to the whole body. Itis continually liable to be dis turbsd and lrritated in itself, and always comm unicates It's irritation, less extensively, to other organs and hence all the secret,ons become vitisted and impaired. the blood partakes of the foul matter secreted and disease in all its various forms is induced thereby Thus it is seen that vitiated and impure blood is the corrupt fountain which sends its contaminating streams through all the minute ramfcations of the veins and arteries, engendering disease, sapping the very foundations of ife and sowing broadcast the seeds of premature decay and death through the wh ole vital domain.

UNITED STATES CONGRESS-.
SENhTE.--

In the Senate Mr.. Pendleton SUD- ported his bill to give the heads of executive departments seats. on the floor of Congress without votes. MT. Merrill opposed the bill. The Senate passed House bill amending the last Sundry Civil Appropriation act
 The Senate discussed the question of amending bill to provide for certain expenses of Congress by inserting an appropriation to pay mileage either to those Senators and Representative who entered upon their terms in March last or else to all members of Congress at tending the extra session. All proposi- tions Of this k1nd were ultimately re- Jected or withdrawn. Several speeches were made against the bill to prevent the introduction of contagious diseases.
 During the discussion on the bill to prevent the introduction of infectious diseases into the United States, MT. Jones (Dem., La. said that in Louis jana, where the epidemic has been more successfully treated than elsewhere, nine tenths of the medical profession believed that yellow fever is an imported disease, and that it could be kept out by care ful and prudent system of quarantine. The New Orleans Board of Health be- ieved that National Quarantine law . should be passed. A State Quarantine law could not be thoroughly effective because it was limited il it's operation to State lines. In the present condition of affairs much panic might be caused by one locality's discriminating against an- other.

THE LOUISIANA REPUBLICANS.

[St. Louis Rcpublican.]
Speaking Of the action Of the recent
Republican convention in Louisiana,
the New York Times says:
"From beginning to end there is in
the platform no mention of blood, no
mention of revolution, no allusion to
hideous violence, no hint that another
war is necessary, no call for North
ern conqueror to dictate terms of an
other peace. These exciting themes
are reserved for Northern platforms.
The men who now speak for the Re-
publican party in Louisiana have no
relish for tactics designed to irritate
one section and to excite the passions
Of anothcr.''
Nevertheless the Republican party
in the North arc practically "A unit in
favor of "tactics designed to irritate
one section and to excite the passions
of another We can recall no Repub-
lican convention in the Northern
States during the past year, the pro-
ceedings of which have not begun and
ended with appeals to sectional preiu-
dice and hatred. These are represent
ed by what is known as "the bloody
shirt" the Republican banner for the
approaching presidential campaign
the banner eufogized by Pierrepont,
sa1uted by Chandler, and hailed with
delight by the whole "rag-tag and
bob-taiP' of the Grant movement.
Only the other day the Republicans of
the great State Of Pennsylvania, In
solemn conclave assembled, passed a
series of resolutions literally reeking
with rhetorical gors-reminding one
very forcbly Of a ''pow VOW of In
dians just before going on the war
path. Yet, in Louisiana, where MUIR
ders, outrages, bulldozing and the like
are assumed to be as thick as fleas In
Spain or beggars in Italy, the Repub.
lican3 are entirely undisturbed, and
raise no howl over the "wrongs of the
negro Surely if the condition o.
things existed in the South which
Northern Republicans claim, these
Louisiana Republicans would know
something and say something about it
The fact that they say nothing Is the
best possible evidence that the whole
bloody-shirt business is founded upon
an impudent and infamous lie.
We are glad that the leading Re-
publican organ calls attention to this
fact in the proper manner, but 1t Will
do no good. The orders have gone

Zack Chandler was sixty-siX years
of age and was worth $4,000, 900, when
he died. EIe made his political debut
in Detroit in 1851 when he was elected
mayor of that city. He first entered
the United States Senate in 1867, and
with but brief intermission has been
in that position to the day of his death.
Although he has had his enemies, po-
litically, there are none who can say
that he was not an honest and charita-

from here. The particulars are these !:
Soon after the Glendale train robbery
the gang made preparations to start for
Texas, intending to rob the bank at
Short Greek, Kansas, seven miles west
of here, while en- route, aud was COM
James Cummings, Henry Miller and
George Sheppard. They camped In
the timber few miles north of Short
Creek for two days, investigating the
lay of the land. They discovered that
the citizens had been apprised of their
coming and that the bank was guarded
and finally gave up their project, and
started Sunday morning ON their jour
ney, avoiding public roads and keep
ing in heavy timber. James and Shep-
pard rode side by side. Miller some
distance to the left, and Cummings
and Caffman to the right. 5-
While riding along Jesse turned his
head, and Sheppard, placing his pistol
against the back of the outlaws head
fired, saying, tsThis is for killing and
Then, wheeling his horse, he fled.
James fell from his horse without a
word. Cummings aud Caffman, talk
ing in the situation, left Miller with
the body and gave chase to Sheppard.
They had Il running fight for about
three miles, during which Sheppard
was shot in the leg. Cummings also
received wounds. But his horse be-
came unlnanageable, and this, perhaps
saved Sheppard's life, as he had lost
his pistol, and Cummings had gained
on him so close that he could touch
him with his revolver. Sheppard put
spurs to his horse and lost no time in
getting in Short Creek.
Later in the afternoon posse started
to find the body of james, but ON ar
irving at the scene it was SO dark they
could tell nothing about the trail. They
however found an overcoat which
Sheppard lost during the shooting.
Marshal Liggett, of Jackson county,
| was telegraphed, and with three depu-
| ties arrived at Short Creek at four
O'Clock this morning Oh a special train.
He at once started on the trail, and it
| is reported tonight that they struck a
| trail of blood, beginning at the place
designated by Sheppard as the locality
| where he shot James, but at this writ
| ing have not found the body.
George Sheppard was implicated
| with the James gang in the robbery of
| the Russelville, Kentucky, bank some
years ago, and served a term of three
years in the penitentiary for that bit of
diversion. He was one of Quantrell's
men during the war, and had grudge
against Jesse James on account of kill
ing his nephew.

PUSH GOLD INTO CIRCULArION.

new orleans ptcAyNne.1
Our banks are now facing q dtficult
problem, one which Is certainly extra
ordinary In its character, and wholly
unexpected. They are eudaavoring to
induce business men to take gold in
stead Of greenbacks, and to put into
circulation specie instead OF paper. This
looks like practical resumption, and
should be met with the hearty ap-
proval of the people.
The banks, however, are not Offering
gold In carrying out any pet theory.
They are simply unable to get the legal
tender notes. Their New York cor.
respondents write that currency Is not
to be had, and to realize upon exchange
gold must be accepted. The New York
banks have scarcely any legal tenders
of go denomination or under. Their
reserves are made up almost entirely
of specie. They are able to get along
very we'll by utilizing gold certificates
OF deposit instead of the coin. Our
banks must therefore bring out gold or
let their balances stand. The latter
policy would soon result In q complete
stoppage of business, as their resources
would quickly be absorbed In handling
the exchange resulting from sales of
cotton. They must therefore order
out coin and put 1t into circulation
here. It Is the only money available
for ordinary transactions. ..
The business community are there
fore called upon to lend them aid In
putting gold into circulation. Factors
making remittances to tho country
are particularly urged to ship specie.
Whtle it is true that the movement of
coin is much more expensive than that
of paper money, it is their duty to
lend aid to the banks, and it ts cer-
tainly to their interest to get into use
throughout the agricultural districts
of the South a circulating medium that
is sound and safe beyond peradven-
ture. ...,
SO fur as silver Is concerned the ques.
ton is settled. The total product Of
the mint Is now needed to supply the
demand. Very small currency cannot
be obtained ut all for paying Off hands
it is silver dollar or nothing. This
coin is peculiarly adapted for circula-
ton in tho cotton aud sugar districts,
and we venture to predict that when
it has once come into general use 1t
will retain n strong hold on the peo.
pie. The South ought to be able to
absorb and retain at least $25, ,OOO, 900 of
legal tender silver with anything like
prosperous times. .,

the acquaintance of man named
Lewis. Lewis, after he had known Mr..
Clark for week or 80, went to him
with "peculiar case" that he said he
had just found. He had met on the
mountains, just out of town, a young
man whom he had not seen for fifteen
years. The young man had shot a
rival IN a love affair and struck out for
the West; but now, having dug up a
great amount Of gold, thought of re-
turning to his old mother in Kentucky.
In order to do so, the young man
would have to sell some bullion.
Would Mr.. Clark buy? Mr.. Clark
did buy gold brick worth S14 900 for
$4,000 in cash. Mr.. Clark left for
Chicago, arriving in which city he
finds that his brick of gold is clever
compound of copper and other metals,
the value being ten cents instead of
$4,000.

nor Wiltz, of joint political canvass
with Judge Beattie, was eminently
proper, and Is to be commended by a II
right thinking people. If there were
questions of principle and problems of
craftsmanship involved in this cam
vass, which 1t might be desirable to
illustrate and elucidate before the pub
lie, there might be some propriety in
a joint discussion of the questions in
volved, but there is nothing of the
kind on hand in the present campaign.
The struggle is between a people whose
prosperity and future welfare are at
stake, on one side, and q party which
in the past has proved itself to he their
worst enemy, on the other.
The people, after infinite pains and
loss, have succeeded in wrestling con-
troll of the State from that party, and
they are not likely to hear from its
orators anything that can reconcile
them to return of its power; hence
there is no reason why the Democratic
candidates should require their follow
ers to listen to Republican harangues,
under the circumstances, as they would
have done by giving opportunities for
such discussion. The Republicans can
of course gather together their adher-
ents and make speeches to them just

is no reason the Democrats should put
themselves out of the way to furnish
audiences to the Republican orators.
This, however, is the smallest part
of the affair. The party managers who
are behind Judge Beattie and his res.
pectable State ticket do not indulge the
faintest hope of carrying the State for
their candidates. They are much too
astute for that. They are looking far
beyond this State canvass to the COM
ing presidential campaign of next year,
for which it is now highly important
to get the party in training. Louisiana
held the key to the presidential chair
three years ago, and it would be no
strange thing if it should do SO year
from now. Moreover, any joint pub
lie discussion of the methods, in which
the Republican party in this State has
in times past worked out its policy
would be calculated to engender bad
blood and bring on angry personal col
lisions, matters which might be useful
as political capital at the North in the
next presidential campaign, but which
it is to the highest interests of the
South to avoid, and to expunge from
its politics.. The public political dis
cussions on both sides are free to all,
and those who choose to hear Judge
Beattie's oratory will attend his ap-
pointments. He cannot we'll desire
more in the interests of harmony.
