Hon. ]. X. LUTTRELL has deliv-
cred a speech in the House of Rep.
resentatives, of which he has sent
us copy, advocating the appropri.
alton of portion of the Geneva
award to shippers who, during the
slate uupleasantness," were OBJ.
liged to pay large war risks on their
vessels and cargoes. He objects to
insurance companies, which re-
ceived large premiums, often
amounting to thirty-three per
cent, receiving any portion of the
award. What may remain in the
United States Treasury after the
just claims of actual sufferers have
been satisfied Mr.. Luttrell is in
favor of having returned to Great
Britain. Thus far but ten of the
twenty millions awarded have been
disposed of. We are inclined to
think, with the late Charles Sum-
ner, that the constructive damages
sustained by the United States from
England in the late war are enti.
tied to consideration. The spectacle
of the merchant marine of the
United States, which has almost
disappeared from the high seas, as
an incident of Great Britain's un.
friendliness at critical stage o.
our civil war, is not to be compen
sated for by even ten times paltry
twenty million dollars. AS to Mr.
Luttrelps special plea against th'
insurance companies, and in favor
of individuals who smarted from
the high war marine risks, WI
agree with him. In every we'll au
thenticated case the Individual suf'
ferer should be compensated for hi!

The National Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the national complaint.
Almost every other man or woman you
meet has 1t, and the result is thst the
number of pseudo-remed edies for it is as
numerous as Pharoah's host. They are
for the most part worthless. There is,
however, a searching eradicant of this
distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised
medicines OF America. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters extirpates dyspepsia
with greater certainty and promptitude
than any known remedy. and is most
secretion. These are not empty asser-
tions, as thousands of our countrymen
and women who have experienced Its
effects are aware, but are backed up by
irrefragable proofs repeatedly laid before
the public. The Bltters also promote q
regular habit OF body and give a health

Denies 10 Much Marrying.

According to a Washington despatch,
Delegate Cannon. of Utah, declares
that the desire to disfranchise Mormons
is born of hope among impecunious
people in Utah that they will be able to
control the offices and disburse the tax
es of Utah if the scheme of disfranchise-
ment is carried out. Mr.. Cannon de-
MES that he has recently been married
to q fifth wife. He says also that it
would be contrary to all precedent for
the House of Representatives to take
any action toward expelling him. If
Lie has offended against the laws, he
is to be tried ty the laws, and not by
Congress. He refers approvingly to
the grounds taken by Gen. Butler a
few years ago, when it was proposed to
expel several members Of the House
for their connection with the Credit Mo-
bilier speculation. General Butler then
declared that the people of Congress-
ional district might send known thief
to Congress if they should like, and
that the House would have no right to
expel him. The people Of Utah elected
Mr.. Cannon knowing him to be a poly
gamist, and that gentleman says the
House has nothing to do with that fact.

American beef can be had in London,

Concerning his visit to Philadelphia,

lows: He returns like the vision OF

heroized in the average mind, as the
realization OF every reasonable egotism,
because the commonest man could say:

If was as good as he has been and
had the same occasions. |, too, could
ride wild horses, fight as long as there

and, when he has got enough, let him

selves in Grant. He would have been
farther from them if he had been more
polished and quoted Vatel, Grotius or
Descartes. His continued success and
popularity are proof that in an age OF
many imported and inherited affecta-
tions, the ground swell Of the people
Is for a man of themselves, great by
simple means. His virtues and defecta
appeal to the general sympathy. His
honor is not touohy, like that of King
Charles cavalier, but he has not their
licentiousnpss. His family fame Is
pure, his sons are all good, atfectionate,
average boys; his mother has always
been honored by him, and with one
weakness nobly outlived he redeemed
all his obligations to his father and did
not fear to make him postmaster,
though it gave great concern to reform
ers and rings. People see that Grant
has reached the whole sum Of life-suc'
